SNL: Now with more bad sketches!

[Inky_Wretch]

InBev bought all the national ad time this Saturday to air spots for Bud Light Golden Wheat. But they're only going to run 11 commercials, which means six or seven extra minutes of "comedy."

whe how, one more reason for me not to record SNL.
wait, who is the host and musical act?
It might mean three songs instead of two.

 

[Football_Bat]

I tried BLGW the other day.

****-tastic.

The Rock does Obama as well as Armison.

 

[DanOregon]

The outtakes from dress rehearsals were the funniest thing on the show. Kind of sad. Liked the orgasm lady from Whig. They should make her a regular character - even if it is just a rip-off of the Rob Schneider character.
And next week is a repeat of the season premiere, as if they don't recycle enough skits on the show.

Recycling garbage isn't going to make it look or sound any better.

And by "well" you mean "horribly and without any effort"

I was always willing to forgive SNL as long as Update was funny...

So much for that. Meyers is the worst update anchor ever.

 

[Some Guy]

Actually, I thought this was the best episode of SNL this season. And the funniest in a long while.

Am I on crack?

I chuckled, at least, at every sketch (except the Thomas-Thomas-Thomas one). I think, at one point during the Beauty and the Beast sketch, I actually guffawed: "I like a big ass."

Update made me laugh, too.

Anyway.

I missed everything up until Update, but I laughed several times during that. Translating Scottish and orgasm lady with "Thanks for coming!" - even thought the don't-ask, don't-tell soldiers was funny (though, couldn't get past one saying he was a PFC, but his uni had SSgt.'s rank). The 300 spoof I liked. "Daveheart" was mildly funny.

But there was a HUGE dead spot there in the middle with Wiig as the (SURPRISE!) awkward secretary and Keenan "Showkiller" Thompson's BET show.

I agree with most of this. I found the BET sketch mildly funny, just because they got the real James Franco to show up and sit there for no reason. Also, Jason Sudekis' running man was entertaining.

There's not a lot of things worse than bad comedy.

A poorly-cooked meal comes close, but even that isn't quite so loathesome.

I cannot believe anybody still watches this show, seriously. Maybe somebody out there still uses lickable stamps or rotary phones.

 

[imjustagirl]

I wish I could still get lickable stamps. Those things tasted great!

 

[DanOregon]

The balloon bit was funny, but it would have been funnier if they had that balloon wafting in the background of all of its sketches, then in the final sketch have a character say "enough" and shoot the thing down.

I actually would like a rotary phone for my office.

I just think it would look cool.

I used to eat them as a mere stripling.

The thing is, there are usually parts of every episode that are still funny. Update is usually funny.

Last season was pretty consistently good, though mostly due to the election stuff and a couple of show-stealing hosts.

This week's episode was pretty decent, despite the tone of this thread.

I watched SNL last night for the first time in years. Well, let me rephrase that - I tried to watch it. What a waste of time it was.

 

[Big Circus]

The sketch about the alien hosting the sports show ****ing slayed me. Bill Hader is just about the only thing SNL has going right now.

I would totally watch that ESPN show.
