SNL is Friggin' Horrible! Except when Timberlake is hosting. (3 Viewers)

[desert rose]

can somebody tell me what Chris Brown was mouthing at the close of the show? if it was what it appeared to be ( "Eat Some #####"), that kid is seriously sick in the head and needs to be kicked out of show-biz.

Looked like team breezy.

I saw that Russell Brand is hosting tonight. Which sent me to Google to find out who the hell Russell Brand is.:getting old:

Really? I thought he was pretty mainstream by now.Looking forward to him on SNL. I picture him making the cast work a little to keep up. Hopefully it's funny.

The first hour was pretty good. Brand really was the difference. I could see them trying to make him a regular host like Timberlake/Baldwin. Does that guy have a huge head or what?

More versatile than i thought he'd be. And club-kid Stefon is behind only Craig Ferguson's foul-mouthed bunny as the funniest thing on TV.

How is this show still on?

Every year I say this, and every year I give it another shot. Its the worst its ever been, and that's saying a lot.

 

[jdoggydogg]

Bill Hader, Andy Samberg, and Kristen Wiig are decent. Kenan Thompson is terrible. Fred Armisen is in the running for the worst cast member of all time. This show stinks.

Anyone that's watched The Whitest Kids U Know or The State over the last few years knows that a sketch show can still be funny. But SNL is ####.

Are they making new episodes of The State? Please tell me it's true.

Since the blind Gov of NY is out, can they let him go? Surely someone else can play Obama.

I like Jason Sudeikis.

I like him, too, but hearing that polar bear joke from his upcoming movie a thousand times is getting annoying.

Haven't watched much of late but some kid does a great Denzel Washington on there.

His Lil Wayne was awful though. The guy who did the Eminem impression spot on though.

I think this is ridiculous.

I wish. The only thing we have is movies like Wet Hot American Summer.

I agree. Although I seem to recall a good host appearing about a month ago, and the first sketch was that dreadful Kenan Thompson doing "What's Up With That?" I mean, if this is your strongest material, that doesn't say much.

 

[jdoggydogg]

I admit that made me chuckle.

Anyone who doesn't think Stefon is funny should have their posting privileges revoked.

Already in the running for the funniest recurring SNL character of all time.

Sudekis (sic) comes across as a good guy, but he's not funny. His impressions are terrible, especially his Bill O'Reilly one last week, if there was no O'Reilly Factor graphic on the screen theres no way in hell you'd know who he's trying to impersonate.

black eyed peas sketch was about as bad as a skit i have ever seen

That chick doing the Klhoie part is a horrible actress

big fan, other than the fact that Heder can't get through one joke without giggling hysterically.It's funny every once in a while when guys on SNL break character, but he's setting a new standard for Fallonesque unprofessional-ism.

From what I can tell he only breaks character when playing Stefon and not during normal sketches. And I remember seeing Hader on Letterman a while ago explain why he always broke character while playing Stefon. It`s due to a combination of last-second changes to script, Seth Meyer egging him on, the cue card guy shaking in laughter, and the obvious ridiculousness of what is being said. When I think about it, pretty well all breaking of character on SNL, since Fallon left anyway, occurs during the Weekend Update segments. So I think Seth Meyer egging these people on probably plays a pretty big factor whenever it happens.

 

[JZilla]

The first 2-3 times, Stefon was hysterical. Definitely the best character in years. The shtick's getting a little stale though, and he's clearly just cracking up on purpose because he knows that was originally part of what made it so funny.

Oof

Pretty great pedigree.

 

[HughHoney]

I think alot of the guys on the show would be really funny if the writing and sketches were better. Hader rarely cracks up during sketches and is pretty funny. Jason S is good. The new black dude,Jay something, does awesome impressions. Weekend update still has it's moments. Kristen Wiig is played out, overused, I'm really tired of her. The same faces and really the exact same few characters for every single skit. No matter if it's a new thing or one of the re-occuring ones.

Abby Elliot and the middle eastern chick, maybe Nasin or something. I would get naked with both of them. Funny chicks? Not so much

[Socrates11]

'Duh, Winning' sketch was kinda funny.

Uhh, that's about it. Show is still terrible.

P.S. Did Miley get a boob job, or was that the greatest push-up bra ever made she was wearing?

Okay, I'm back this week. Zach Galifianakis to host.

This is the one recurring sketch that my wife and I have to rewind each time it's on. It's freaking hilarious.

 

[offdee]

So, is it safe to say that SNL is only good when Justin Timberlake is the host at this point?

While attempting to watch this awful show recently, it occurred to me that Kristen Wiig is really being wasted on SNL. She is hilarious.

I guess you fall in one of two camps with Wiig. I can't stand her.

Interesting. I'm surprised.

As has been mentioned earlier, Wiig's estimable comic talents are underappreciated for two major reasons: 1) Most of her characters are born of the same sentiment - that all women are basically thiiiis close to snapping at all times & will go to extraordinary lengths to mask that. Many people find the resulting mania tiring & irritating 2) Since Poehler left, Wiig has been the female lead in the highest % of skits in the history of the show and the weak writing has caused them to repeat some of her characters far past the time they've served any comic purpose. I mean, the upswomanship character was played 3 yrs ago & Gilly, halfway thru the initial sketch, yet we see them over & over. This has rendered an actress as good as any SNL has had (cept maybe Radner & Poehler) into a symbol of how bad the show has become.

Agree with all that, although it's still impossible for me to watch her in this without laughing.

 

[jamny]

The Charlie Sheen skit was probably the best skit in years.

 

[mr roboto]

Man this is so bad.

'The Talk' is just bad impressions. No creativity, no direction with the writing.

They are a shell of comedy. Holy hell.

They had a lot of momentum from the opening monologue and they lost it.

It's much better to have strong supporters and haters than to have a group of folk who just don't give a damn. I love Wiig, enjoy a few of the others, but for the most part I simply don't care about the comedians. The local improv groups have folk who put these guys to shame.
