Saturday Night Live

regardless they went in somethin serious imo

lots of going in tonight, all around

anti-fascist reagan hardcore wedding band skit was best thing in 10 years, guys.

seriously, also probably the best closing sketch EVERR

i didn't understand a word dude was singing were they anti-fascist

coulda just been andrew wk to me

At one point he was like "Take that, Alexander Haig!" lol

Really need a link to this...

Hulu links do not work in the UK. Gah.

Haha, that rules.

Why is that funny and why does it rule?

i have not laughed that much at an snl skit in years!!

also did jason sudeikis just get a ton cuter or something?

Why is that funny and why does it rule?

Why is anything funny?

It made me want to break out Fresh Fruit for Rotting Vegetables, for one thing.

damn I turned off the tv before that sketch

so awesome

MILO GOES TO COLLEGEHIS DAUGHTER'S WEDDING

loved that one of the names on the wedding party was CADENA

chain?

coulda just been andrew wk to me

in that case, it wouldn't be a lifechanging piece of comedy. the anti-reagan pastiche of sub-dead kennedys cali hardcore bands is the thing. i didn't think it was that subtle! the first line is about reagan's fascist regime or something. ha, take that alexander haig!

Guys if that wedding band sketch wasn't funny to you, I really don't know how to help you. I haven't laughed that hard at the show in years. Years.

loool ok the band was called "crisis of conformity" that's awesome

ashton in suit and tie singing "yo, maybe i should, like, put on my suit, and my tieeee, and eat a happy meal!". and then grabbing his tie for emphasis when he sings "tie." good heads up by ashton wrt grohl's mic, too. i'd like to see a rehearsal version of this whole thing; maybe the lyrics are more audible.

abby elliot looked v v pretty as a redhead, btw.

sudekis' part in the sketch made it that much more awesome. if he had been horrified or offended then it would have been like "lol, these fucking guys, on stage," but his responsiveness kinda implied that no, it's dads pretty much everywhere who are like this.

armisen did a passable mike muir on the "institutionalized" middle bit.

or maybe that's just a generalized socal hardcore voice, idk, like nowadays there's a general pop punk voice that's not really specific to blink or whatever.

i had to look up cadena but ha!

armisen had the hardcore singer jerkaround dance down pat

ok now i get cadena

^^ lol, took me until after the sketch to get that, too

Just watched "What is Burn Notice?" sketch on Hulu. Sudekis is hilarious in that.

YouTubeleggers provide! Could have been any wedding in the AmRep family. /mpls

reminded me of http://www.videosift.com/video/FEAR-Saturday-Night-Live-1981-Historic-Performance

hahah that hardcore sketch was great...then even got the "slow it down to a half time creepy crawl w/spoken word" thing down pat

also if people don't understand how deeply dope fred armeson is...check this out:

El Vez and Genesis P-Orridge (drinkin' a Summit?)

was the joke of the wedding band sketch that hardcore is old enough to be played by dads now or

Part of me wondered if this sketch was in any way inspired by having Them Crooked Vultures as musical guest.

I laughed like hell at it, partly because of the level of detail, but I really don't think the joke would be lost on people who knew nothing about hardcore.

good heads up by ashton wrt grohl's mic, too. i'd like to see a rehearsal version of this whole thing; maybe the lyrics are more audible.

i second-guessed it later, but totally assumed at first that this was an intentional acknowledgement of faulty mics at live hardcore shows

don't forget grohl was in Scream as a teen!

the one scream song on the american hardcore soundtrack SMOKES

yeah i figured the broken mic was a planned thing

And was appearing in a band with John Paul Jones

between scream, nirvana, tom petty, probot, killing joke and TCV, Dave Grohl is kind of the kevin bacon of rock

The Backbeat Band too

dude grohl IS the kevin bacon of rock, never thought of that before

except he is way better than kevin bacon and doesn't look like an old lesbian

ok maybe not old lesbian, but his usual goatee has a lot to do with that. and it's not like the Foo Fighters are that much better than HBO Original Movies at this point

yeah grohl is way better than bacon, but in terms of the six degrees thing i bet you could totally do that with him

she's not old! he also doesn't look like her. he's just way less gross than kevin bacon and i will defend dave grohl as long as i need to.

aintcha never heard of the bacon brothers? kevin bacon IS the kevin bacon of rock.

loved the Crisis of Conformity sketch, but no one but me seems to remember the Melt-Banana-style band sketch they had 10 yrs ago

Also, Armisen didn't really go all in. Imagine if Farley or Belushi had that role.

i think armisen's look is part of what made it so funny, though. farley or belushi as fat screaming dad yeah ha, but a guy who looks like a totally straight-laced uptight father of the bride type unleashing that was awesome.

i mean, i'm just saying he barely unleashed. Farley and Belushi unleashed more in their Meat Loaf and Joe Cocker bits that Armison as L.A. hardcore punk dad
