SNL's Continued Downward Spiral Thread

I'm coming up on the first musical spot, and my feeling is it's one of the better episodes of the past five years.

 

Hit mute now!

 

Really? I thought The 1975 was kind of edgy.

 

lol

 

Was that one of the Jonas Brothers?

 

Agree with this. I liked the Bernie Sanders losing by five votes skit ... AND the clever way they worked the real Sanders into the next skit.

Jeno's Pizza Rolls/X-Files ad spoof was spot-on, complete with black-ooze eyeballs.

There were even a few funny bits in the weekend update segment. Thanks, Lester Holt.

 

More like Maroon 1975.

 

Is it just me, or did Kanye drop an F bomb about halfway through the first song tonight? I replayed it like 3 times. I'm 99 percent sure he did. He definitely said the n word multiple times. I'm in the central time zone; I'm guessing they would've edited that out for the west coast version.

 

The Beyonce turned black skit was freaking outstanding.

 

Haven't watched the Melissa McCarthy show yet because when i got home I saw that the early rerun was the Tom Hanks one from 1988 -- one of the best shows in SNL history.

Among the skits in that one: Pumping up with Hans and Franz; Jew, Not a Jew; Bush-Dukakis Debate; Mr. Short-Term Memory; Outtakes from the movie Big; Ten-year Reunion (Hanks and Lovitz as two losers).

Far as I can tell, they eliminated Weekend Update, Mr. Short-Term Memory and the second song by Keith Richards.

I also think this was the first appearance of the First Citywide Change Bank commercials.

 

Race relations was a theme throughout the show. After the Beyonce Turned Black skit (which I thought was great), I thought the show went overboard with it.

 

Wonder if Kanye will get the ban hammer from SNL?
