Re: Saturday Night Live
To absolutely no one's surprise, I like it.
I didn't love it. And it has plenty of missed opportunities. But you guys made it sound way worse than it really is.

That actually makes sense. I'm someone who has been pretty uninterested in this show for a very long time, so I can't say I share the sentiment. For me, as someone who hasn't watched regularly since Wayne's World, I'm probably not as critical.
This episode was fine. Exactly fine. There were some great laughs and some super dumb moments, too. But overall, I enjoyed it. BC was funny. Solange was boring. But on balance, I had fun.

Re: Saturday Night Live
The cold open was cringe inducing, then Chappelle killed the monologue.

Re: Saturday Night Live
I agree with chud. The cold open was confusing and silly and self-serious and dumb but Dave Chappelle's monologue was on point.

I think people are overrating Chappelle here. I like the guy, but this monologue is nothing special.

Re: Saturday Night Live
Apparently, the concept that a tall black woman might have sex with a needy white guy is a joke?
