This is old school Jim Carey at the moment. Not bad, but not great. It just seems like a trip back to In Living Color.

The commercial parodies generally hit more often than not, and "The Very Worst of Soul Train" was pretty funny.

 

[Pete Incaviglia]

Never heard of or heard The Black Keys until tonight. I love them.

Carey's character was the best. So creepy.

And the sex advice tape ad was ok — until the Angry Ganesh, which caught me totally off guard and rewinding the PVR to watch it again. And laugh.

Dear lord, Bill Hader-as-John-Boehner sounds like Bert Lahr as the Cowardly Lion when he cries.

 

[Pete Incaviglia]

I thought the same thing. Immediately.

 

[Brian]

Jim Carrey's impression of Alan Thicke had me in tears.

And the Black Keys didn't disappoint. Great performance.

As for the episode....meh... a C+.

But that Alan Thicke impression still has me chuckling. I wish they would have done an entire Growing Pains skit just because of it.

 

[YGBFKM]

The Alan Thicke impression was the funniest thing on SNL in years. Who would even think to do such an impression? Genius.

 

[Dick Whitman]

Never heard of or heard The Black Keys until tonight. I love them.

Welcome back, rock 'n' roll, huh?

Awesome performance by an awesome band.

I've been a casual fan for a few years, ever since the comparisons to the White Stripes began. They also did the theme song for "Hung" on HBO.

Have a feeling after last night I'm about to become more than a casual fan. That was tight.

"NOBODY DOES A THICKE!!" Pretty good stuff.
That and the "Worst of Soul Train" were the best parts by far.

It was so obscure... made the skit more awesome.

 

[imjustagirl]

OMG, just now watching the Jon Hamm one from Halloween on my DVR. He does a REALLY good Robin Williams. And I laughed out loud at Wiig's Jennifer Tilly.

The Jay Pharoah Eddie Murphy impression had me in tears laughing. He sounds just like Eddie!

 

[Big Circus]

That amusement park sketch was ****ing gold.

 

[Della9250]

If you're going to have someone play an anamatronic figure, Carrey's the man.

Welcome back, indeed.

Man, like I said, I'd never heard of them, but my God, they were good.

 

[Big Circus]

Most definitely. And the new guy on the tambourine was pretty good, too.

I was kind of disappointed they didn't have more of a funny face-off between Carrey and Hader. I'm picturing something like the great sketch with Mick Jagger looking in the mirror and Mike Myers playing his reflection.

 

[Mizzougrad96]

I'm pissed I missed the Thicke impersonation. That's what happens when the show has sucked for so long that you watch the show with your thumb pressed on the FF button of your DVR remote.

 

[Killick]

Yeah, I pretty much gave up after the second sketch out of the gate was the pubic hair replacement commercial... the one they've shown four times so far. Hung around for the Black Swan spoof... was gone by Weekend Update.

I dug the Black Swan spoof, too (haven't seen the movie). I was a big fan of Carrey's Vera de Milo character on In Living Color, and this was basically a blend of that with some of his Ace Ventura tics. Funny stuff.
