Saturday Night Live

[Strat]

Ed Sheeren is so fucking awful. My god. How does this shit happen? Its as mind blowing as trump being president. Fuck.

The Spicer skit definitely wasn't as funny but maybe because it was expected. Definitely too soon to hit that one out of the park again.

The peoples court was weak.

Weekend Update went on about 15 minutes too long.

I actually liked the cheeto skit

[lennytheweedwhacker]

i watched it twice and i'm still on the fence on moffat's guy who buys a boat bit

Hahahahahaha the Black History Heart-Shaped Box

[Norah]

Hahahahahaha the Black History Heart-Shaped Box

yeah that was pretty funny

[LoathedVermin72]

This Cheeto sketch is good too

[lennytheweedwhacker]

This Cheeto sketch is good too

it was a good premise, and had it's moments but mostly forgettable

i don't think this episode was all that bad

[lennytheweedwhacker]

and mckinnon is so good...i loved her in the kellyanne conway bit

[epilogue]

Hahahahahaha the Black History Heart-Shaped Box

yeah that was pretty funny

Absolute favorite part of the episode. I goddamn loved Zamata's understated "It's George Washington Carver." I laughed for about 10 straight minutes. I made my wife pause and go back. It was fucking brilliant.

12/17/16 Casey Affleck/Chance the Rapper

Chance the Rapper #2: Cool to see him playing piano, and the energy was again great, but the song was again very bland.

I disagee. I think this was a bad performance of a very good song.

Whenever there's active promotion on the part of somebody else, whenever I see somebody all dolled up for a fancy photograph and someone's handing out flyers or whenever there's active promotion for something like that, as an imposition on my day, I hate all those people and I want them to fail. I have a visceral reaction to advertising and promotion. There's just something about salesmanship that grates on me on a very base level and I react very negatively towards it. I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.

[spike]

terrible episode. nothing truly worked.

[B]

What does "Cold Opening" mean? Do they do those w/o rehearsing? Or does that mean it's the pre-credits opening?

[Norah]

pre-credits, it opens cold without a produced introduction

[bodysnatcher]

Chuckie Chocolate: wtf?

The moment I saw this skit, I couldn't wait to get your review

[Superblood Wolfmoon]

terrible episode. nothing truly worked.

[bodysnatcher]

Yeah that episode sucked. Any momentum a sketch got was quickly killed again bc these writers don't know how to end a skit. They either run a joke into the ground, or it goes on wayyyy too long. I'd rather a few more shorter skits than long drawn out ones.

My favorite part of the entire episode was Jost's terrible U2/Bono joke, bc 1) it was so bad, 2) his reaction to the crowd's reaction, and 3) it was something I would say

The Zooopolis sketch was so fucking bad. I hate these when they do string-of-impression sketches like that.

[bada]

The material wasn't funny but I thought the girl was pretty good at impressions...the guy wasn't.
