SNL is Friggin' Horrible! Except when Timberlake is hosting. (1 Viewer)

Anybody else notice that Lady Gaga is a little bit weird?

She is one of those people that I have no idea how on earth she got famous.

She is very talented and has a wonderful voice. I just see no need for the "LOOK WHAT A WEIRDO I AM!!!" shtick.Of course, I'm not her target demographic either.

Look harder. She actually lays her shtick on quite heavy.

 

[Funkley]

Best SNL I've seen in quite awhile.

 

[Raider Nation]

Best SNL I've seen in quite awhile.

The bar has been set pretty low, but yeah...

 

[Christo]

WTMF was that?

 

[shuke]

Best SNL I've seen in quite awhile.

Funny, but I think almost every skit was recycled. And it's 2011. When does making fun of Barry Gibb start getting old?

 

[LHUCKS]

was it just me or did we get a little bit of Gaga nipple in that opening skit?

check it

I remember my parents telling me Madonna and Michael Jackson were weird too. Turns out they were right, but it didn't make them any less talented.

Nope. Always seems perfectly normal and well grounded.

 

[offdee]

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

Pretty much.

I don't think her voice is that great. But hey she is the Madonna of 2011 I guess.

Last night's show was a disappointment. JT's short with Samberg wasn't as good as Mother Lover or **** In A Box, Weekend Update wasn't as funny as it usually is, and the other skits just weren't as good as usual. JT did a good job....the writing just wasn't there.

I think the episode with Tina Fey and Ellie Goulding a couple of weeks back was much better. That was the one with the Jack Sparrow short.

 

[Please See Mine]

Gaga's body is really pretty good. Never noticed that before.

Liked the opening sketch a lot, digital short was good, what's your name was good, and Barry Gibb show was also funny, but I agree with Shuke that it is a little old. Just an awesome impression.

Didn't care about liquorville and usually fast forward through most of weekend update. Anything else I've forgotten.

My cousin gave Gaga a private yoga lesson in Boston a few months ago. Sounds like she takes it pretty seriously.

I thought the Herb the Reporter skit was hilarious.

I didn't question your right to find him funny. I am simply vexed than anyone laughs at Armison.

Did you ever watch Portlandia? I am starting to really like that show a lot and he is the main guy in it. I can't say I ever noticed him much in SNL, but he is $ on Portlandia.

Fast forwarded through that. Never been into that character. Maybe I'll go back and re-watch if you are serious.

I should. I really like The Whitest Kids U Know on IFC - so that should be good enough reason to give Portlandia a shot.

I'm watching whitest kids you know as i first read your reply. I was never into them when they first came out, but I like them a lot now. I have season pass to record them on IFC.I was in HS in the early 90's and Portlandia is all about making fun of people from the 90's. It's pretty hilarous... but I don't know if I would get it if I didn't grow up at that time.

Sweet. Did you ever watch The State or Mr. Show? Those were pretty original sketch shows, as well.

Bill Hader is probably the funniest (and most talented) current cast member.

[Topes]

OMG!!! SNL SUCKS!!! I'LL BE SURE TO WATCH IT NEXT WEEK AND LET YOU KNOW IF IT STILL SUCKS!!!

Pretty much. This has been a running meme since 1980 or so. I'm certainly not saying there hasn't been suckiness in that span. There's been a lot. But what has worked for me has been sucky to others. There are different viewers. I personally loved the Hartman/Sandler/Spade/Farley years, but many thought those were a low point. To each his own.I watch now and again. Sometimes I like. Sometimes not.

It's a bit hard to call out somebody for watching and liking unless they're totally watching to hate (as some are). I'd suspect that many have at least some hope of being entertained.

 

[Eviloutsider]

The rollar coaster skit with the robots crack me up.

 

[gump]

My wife and I usually DVR and at least watch the music sets. Is it just me, or did the 2nd of this season really suck music-wise?

Last season and first half this year we had Pearl Jam, Jay-Z, Eminem, and Kanye....can't think of any memorable ones since.

Ya I agree but can you name alot of good, new, big name musical acts today? I sure as hell can't.

If you are recording this, make sure the DVR is set to go about a half hour extra.

I love Barkley, this is the first time I've watched live in years. Literally did not crack a smile during Samberg's Santorum opening.
