Re: Saturday Night Live
just watched this one and i actually mostly agree with trag for the first time...except i thought chuckie chocolate was oddly amusing and the spencers bit was terrible
youngblood was easily the best part of the show

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.

I actually liked the ninja and the funeral. I thought I was going to hate the funeral one when it stared but I was laughing by the end.

Re: Saturday Night Live

Re: Saturday Night Live
I want to get caught up on SNL (I'm two episodes behind now) but I can't justify NOT watching Gilmore Girls.
Guys, I think I might have a problem.

Holy shit, that Olive Garden sketch was one of the funniest things I've seen in a long time.

Okay, seriously, why does Bobby Moynihan never do fucking anything on this show?

Re: Saturday Night Live
I'll agree with the consensus here; some pretty good sketches early on then tapered off in the second half.
I'd like to see more of Monyihan too.

It was a pretty big improvement overall from the previous episode.

i think day and moffat have improved quite a bit...mckinnon, bennett, and moynihan are easily my top three at this point, and mooney would be up there if he had more opportunities

Re: Saturday Night Live
Nice bounce back after last week's horrible episode...
Cold Open: I'm over Alec Baldwin's Trump impression. It was funny during the debates, but now it's a caricature of a caricature - and a bad one at that.
Good Day Denver: This was great up until the odd Kenan bit at the end.
Olive Garden Commercial Shoot: Very funny, especially the Olive Garden customers would laugh at a 2 foot tall waitress comment
Weekend Update: Pete Davidson was great.
Shanice Goodwin: Ninja: Not that good, but I love the I'm also a cashier at Kohl's line
Women's Issues: This was great.
David's Funeral: Funny, but I couldn't understand a lot of what Scarlett was singing.
