SNL & Andy Samberg

[lantaur]

Parnell and Lorne Michaels don't exactly seem to be friends.

Lorne wanted to fire him several years ago, and Will Ferrell told Lorne he'd quit if Parnell was let go. Lorne held back until it was time to recalibrate the cast. From there, I'm sure it was easy for them to write off a lot of cast members good and bad in order to save money.

Which would make one wonder why Parnell is sometimes on 30Rock which is, I believe, exec produced by Michaels.

Yeah, exactly. Was that part of the SNL termination package for Parnell? Maybe he's still under contract and Lorne wants him to 'earn it?'

You need proof Samberg sucks? Watch his latest skit as an alien coming out of a stomach.

Exactly. He was annoying. Scarlett was funny. Same basic getup. And he got to wiggle tongues with her. *******.

Puke/blood/gross only works when you go WAAAAY over the top with it. (e.g. Family Guy puking fest; one of the funniest things I've ever seen on TV) or you have perfect comedy timing (e.g. Farrelly Brothers films).

And since no one on SNL outside of a select group of maybe Kristin Wiig, Amy Poehler, Fred Armesin or Maya Rudolph has ANY comedic timing, then over the top will only work.

Speaking of SNL: can no cast members/hosts memorize lines? I mean, how many sketches have to be ruined by someone reading cue cards?

This thread was much more enjoyable for the brief time when it was about Scarlett Johansson.

 

[CentralIllinoisan]

Then let it again be about her, or in other words, thanks for giving me an excuse to complete a Google image search of the beautiful, sexy, talented, and super-duper crush Scarlett Johansson. :D

That's a nice pic, CI. :)

From what I've ready about Lorne he is pretty weird about the show. He might just decide out of the blue that somebody has been on the show long enough. He might not have anything against the person, he's just weird like that.

I must say, Maya Rudolph is sorely under-used on SNL. And Scarlett Johanssen is a lovely girl.

I can't believe no one commented on the Sofa King skit. I was Sofa King surprised that the censors let it go.

Clever, but it's nothing compared to the south park episode where they said "****" 164 times..complete with the counter in the corner and Mr. Garrison singing...."****ty ****ty fag fag, ****ty ****ty fag fag."

Thanks for the link, Old Tony. I haven't been able to watch it yet (phone), but I have it set up and you got me to install the latest Windows Media Player plug-in for my browser. Much obliged! :)

It was okay. I liked the Cork Soakers skit from a couple years ago better.

I LOVE that skit. Janet Jackson was cracking up in that one.

I hope Samberg's **** in the Box wins the best digital short of the year on SNL. I hope people are voting for it. I didn't care too much for the Sanjaya skit. I like Bill Haider better than Samberg.

Anyone on here who defends Fred Armisen is dead. to. me.

I have YET to smile at a single appearance by that guy.

Well, I'm dead to you then. I like him as Prince. He also has the spaced-out foreigner market pretty much cornered.

Then I take back what I just posted on the hot female athletes thread! I no longer agree with you on anything!!!
