the only part of that skit that made me laugh was the first time Chris Redd said, "pass..."

Isntagram and flower skit were great. Laughed at Bowen humping everyone.

Other than that awful episode.

i thought the one where Jake played Doc Holliday was good. i think it would've been better if the whole thing was him spewing fluids.

The Instagram skit was ok, but it highlighted a big problem with the writing on this show. It’s so repetitive. In that skit they repurposed the same punchline three times (about the DM’s leading to sex). It was funny the first time, but it lost its punch. They could’ve written two different jokes for the next two contestants and that skit could’ve been great.

Alas, this is the state of the show today.

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.

The show is very predictable these days too. Not just in topics, but the way the show is laid out. I dont feel like it was always like this? Maybe in the last 10 years? I'd have to check my liner notes but....

Cold open, monologue, sketch, pre recorded sketch, sketch, music, weekend update (too many guests), etc.etc..

They should’ve had her slapping notes on a bass.

Black Eyed Peas and Six Flags old man sketches?
One of the weakest episodes of the season.
A couple weeks off before the last new ones for the season.

Since my wife can't go, I hope it's no one she wants to see!

Maybe the wedding will fall through.
