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.

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?

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

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.

The ninja skit felt like a direct ripoff of Beverly Hills Ninja
