SNL is Friggin' Horrible! Except when Timberlake is hosting. (2 Viewers)

[JoeSteeler]

Maybe it was because my expectations were so low, but Bruno Mars wasn't horrible in the skits.

his singer imitations were a delight. nothing special otherwise, but not bad for a reader.

imitations were great! i should have skipped the rest of the show

They were impressive, but that sketch wasn't particularly funny. I mean, was that framing story any better than having Bruno just say, "This is my impression of Aerosmith. Here is an impression of Michael Jackson."I thought it was a singularly unfunny episode, but not because of performance limitations from the host. It just didn't have any funny jokes.

 

[Kumerica]

This season, it appears they're gonna need Denzel in every sketch.

 

[Tiger Fan]

Bruno was pretty good. Most hosts are horrible

 

[Sea Duck]

Bill Hader's puppet is disturbing and hilarious.

 

[Raider Nation]

Louis CK hosts tomorrow night!

 

[Daywalker]

Louis CK hosts tomorrow night!

Can't remember the last time I was excited for an upcoming SNL. Baldwin always gets my attention. Louis a stud no matter what but this is a nice opportunity to surprise some people.

 

[Christo]

Finally a must watch. But, honestly, it could go either way. I'm hoping for the best. :fingerscrossed:

Cannot freakin wait!Louie said on Fallon that there was a skit that he was SO uncomfortable doing, he insisted that they keep it.

Facing your fears, and all that. Color me intrigued.

 

[Mr. Pickles]

God I hate autotune.

 

[Raider Nation]

@ Lincoln

 

[Abraham]

Fun is really good.

 

[Raider Nation]

The writing on this show is woeful. Louie was poorly utilized, and he flubbed most of his lines anyway.

 

[Mr. Pickles]

This was a particularly terrible episode.

 

[biggamer3]

Louis was so bad it was funny, of course when he probably got to write his own lines like the Lincoln piece it was insanely good

 

[Time Kibitzer]

God I hate autotune.

Seriously, that was painful.

 

[Daywalker]

Cicely Strong has star potential. First season and she's already getting a lot of air-time.

 

[JZilla]

That was just like Louie's show, good standup and a bunch of crap

Fun. is hideous

I think I found the autotune fan.

Anne Hathaway hosts tonight, so it should be a nice jug show if nothing else.

Anne Hathaway and I have the same exact haircut.

I generally don't mind short hair on women, but long hair flatters her more.

 

[Encyclopedia Brown]

Really good "Homeland" bit.

 

[Mr. Pickles]

Rhianna is performing in front of a screensaver.

 

[Tremendous Upside]

Rihanna has a painfully mediocre voice when she isn't being autotuned

The screensaver is pretty boss though

 

[Mr. Pickles]

This sounds like every repetitive song Kanye West has ever written.

 

[kupcho1]

Rhianna is performing in front of a screensaver.

Quite possibly the worst musical act in the history of the show.

 

[Mr. Pickles]

"Diamonds" was written by Sia. Okay, that actually makes sense. Sia has an infinitely better voice than Rhianna, though.

 

[Ministry of Pain]

Quite possibly the worst musical act in the history of the show.

Feel the same, song was forgettable and the screen gave me a headache. Saw better visuals in the early 90s of NYC nightclubs.

 

[Raider Nation]

Shark move is to DVR this show. Blast right through every commercial and "musical act"...

 

[Ministry of Pain]

Opening couple skits were decent, never seen Homeland but it seems like it was funny to those who know the show...McD's skit was terrible.

 

[Raider Nation]

Homeland was the best skit of the season.

 

[Abraham]

Rihanna is terrible.

 

[Encyclopedia Brown]

Homeland was the best skit of the season.

Agree.The writers and cast are obvious fans of the show because they got all the little things right.

Hathaway really shined in that skit. Everyone else was meh.

"Brodie" was great too... mumbling his lines.

 

[Rick James]

Kate McKinnon has potential to be the next big female SNL star. Her Ellen impression was unbelievable.

 

[JZilla]

Kate McKinnon is incredible. I wonder if I could convert her.

Anne Hathaway is really funny too IMO. I was a little messed up but I thought the American Gothic sketch was hilarious.

The sloppy swish was ... certainly memorable. A few hiccups and a terrible musical guest as always, but I thought it was the best episode of the year so far.

 

[Raider Nation]

Tonight, host is Jeremy Renner; musical act is Maroon 5.

I bitch about this show every week, and every week I still watch it. WTH is wrong with me?

Has Renner even ever had a comedic role before? I'm thinking he's gonna be dreadful.

Sometimes, those are the guys who surprise you the most.Peyton Manning isn't even an actor, and he was phenomenal.

 

[Raider Nation]

Alright... let's fire up the DVR here to see if this was any good.

 

[Ministry of Pain]

The Californians was funny because they couldn't keep a straight face, Seth Myers had a pretty good winners and losers segment.

 

[Mr. Pickles]

Unfunny episode.

 

[Encyclopedia Brown]

Looks like Gandolfini is playing Uncle Junior in this new Brad Pitt flick.

Nice glasses.

 

[Daywalker]

Cicely Strong. Hard to remember a new cast member rising this quickly. She hasn't been killing it but very versatile. Easy on the eyes.

Renner squirming pretty good. Guy can sing and play piano maybe he is.... Should have opened with a guy in audience angrily asking where was Matt Damon in latest Bourne movie.

Always rough when you have to open by telling the audience where you have seen them.

Hometown skit was really good. The old Kmart. Ha.

Jamie Foxx. Hell yeah. Too bad they can't do Shenaneh.

Winners/Losers very funny.

Most dissappointing thing about this season is Hader was poised to break out. They have a star but have not capitalized on it. Makes no sense that he has not been featured more.

 

[jamny]

The Californians is already an instant fast-forward to me.

We get it...

 

[shuke]

I love this show, always will. Sure, they have down weeks. But I laugh at a lot of stuff within even the forgetable skits.

 

[Raider Nation]

The Californians is already an instant fast-forward to me.

As soon as I saw the opening, I blew right past it. AWFUL skit.
