Saturday Night Live

otm exactly what I was thinking from the set-up.

yeah, as mentioned (above I think?) that baseball player skit is one of m favorites. I thought this episode was pretty bad though, especially Weekend Update, which can usually be good for some solid crappy topical humor/political jokes, I felt they were extra weak.

aw yeah... preheat the oven to 69...

O_O-----> O_O ------> O_O i got nothin. wait i got something. ... no i aint got nothin

they just mentioned nipsey hustle lol

or i just saw them do it on hulu, afaik

does nipsey hustle just have a funny name that's good to riff on or is he actually reaching people in some capacity, because last time i checked he was famous as like saigon

that car horn sketch had me in fucking tears, oh my god

yeah the exact size of NH's fame right now is "who is this clown with the worst name in the history of rap who's on We Are The World this early in his career?" which is why I'm amazed he agreed to it regardless of any misguided desire to 'be a part of history' or w/e

oh i didn't know Nipsey was actually on WATW. I still haven't watched it!

Wow, I assumed they made up Nipsey Hustle.

dan did you see doorbells earlier this season or have you just seen car horns?

I did see doorbells and that also killed me

ok, good, just checking--i was gonna be like "there's more where that came from!"

the carhorn one was funnier tho

"aoooogah, jalopy! whaaaaaa-?

"private benjamin, riiiiiiiiight?"

flaggy flaggy flaggy flag

someone tell me what happens in the smash mouth sketch, hulu cut it out

Basically they keep popping out and eventually the mom tells the daughter all of the good memories she should have associated with the song (like one of her teachers using it for a class video, etc) and Smash Mouth busts through the wall and they all dance. The set-up was way, way, way better than the punchline.

the smashmouth sketch got cut out when i watched it OnDemand too -- i guess they used the actual songs and didn't wanna pay more clearance fees for anything besides the broadcast?

their political opens are fucking atrocious

he's just doing old jokes for his monologue?!

people don't find this guy funny do they

yes they do

I do.

i thought that was really funny -- i've never really seen him in that context tho so i wouldn't know how much of the jokes were old

I've seen his stand up/piano stuff before, but not for a few years. These jokes were all new to me.

deadpan jokes + piano is sooo played

the concept not the piano

Who else is doing it right now (or anytime in the last 10 years)?

random lame comics I see on comedy central?

ironic musical comedy is probably the worst brand of comedy imaginable, but i thought it worked in the snl context

jude law + pearl jam = ... 2002 at best

I'm just saying Galifianakis has been doing this at least since his VH1 show (and in all likelihood before that), so that means it's been a staple of his act for 9 years (or more).

these first two skits have been aggressively bad

it is entirely possible that he was among the lame comedy central comics doing this in my memory

the bidet one almost seemed like this was a show making fun of lame tv skits

xposts

More than 9 years, but he's pretty much dropped it entirely in the last 3 or so years, so I'm kind of surprised he did it tonight.

The inherent comedy value of two men kissing: more or less than the inherent comedy value of white people rapping?

Both were kind of funny in 1990. Neither is in 2010.

your writers probably aren't creative enough if you have your comedian host playing himself in two of the first four sketches

However, the inherent comedy of members of a family making out (and making out AGGRESSIVELY) is always funny.

The "Taboo" series of films doesn't really play as comedy, though.

yeah snl seems like it's been doing that a lot lately, way more than it used to. I forgot how recent the megan fox episode was, but she was 'megan fox' for like 90% of the sketches.

i know the "what's up with that?" set when i see it!

poor lindsey buckingham.

ha @ them clowning on blitzer & twitter

u_u this song

what was the first one they did?

"Cousins"

They have been pretty excellent tonight.
