SNL (10/10)

Well, we're off to our usual horse-beating start. Uncreative cold open with Obama, then on to a mildly humorous monologue... until they beat the premise into the ground. I can only guess we're about to be treated to the Target Lady and Deep House Dish yet again.

 

Worse. Gilley. Ugh.

 

Fuck that was horrible. Glad I've got the TIVO set for the True Blood premiere at midnight (yeah I'm way behind, duh ).

 

Celebrity ghost stories was OK.

Or else my standards are slipping.

 

Justin Long as McConaughey? OK. I'll give them that one, especially since it ended with "No, you suck!" I laughed.

... and here comes Moynihan to ruin another sketch.

 

Gotta admit. James Carville on Update make me chuckle.

 

yup. several times.

 

Weak. Though Drew looked good. Is there a law on SNL that limits one "joke" per sketch? Honestly, the ASPCA should be after these guys for the way they beat jokes to death.

This was a rare episode that was funnier from Update on, than pre-update.

 

There were so many ways they could have gone with the Obama opening, but it was so weak and uninspired.

Armisen's impression is painfully bad, probably the worst presidential impression they've ever had.

I like Kristen Wiig, but I don't find her "characters" very funny. I wish she would leave the show and just do movies.
