Saw the Porn Doctor and French Cats skit. Driver was good in both, but both basically ended in lame deus ex cast member fashion. Hey, the skit is over now!

i saw pron doctor via FB and my god what happens to you ppl every week?
only potential joke that was carried off was cue-card monotone dialogue, and that was small

writing in this episode seemed much stranger than usual - it wasn't all bad but it was all very wtf
― Οὖτις, Tuesday, 19 January 2016 19:29 (eight years ago) link
it was pretty bad, and yes, often weird. i liked Adam Driver tho but that's just because he's a dreamboat and seemed to commit to the whole thing

Was killing myself laughing at that leslie jones monologue. Other than that I thought this was pretty weak.

Kinda liked Ronda Rousey beating up the mean girls.

the oscars diversity skit would have been hilarious had they not beat you over the head with the point at the very end of the sketch. the fake movie clips were very funny.

i like kenan's old man bit on weekend update.
the leslie jones monologue was good but it's a shame she's supposed to be bouncing off of jost, he can't keep up w/ her at all

knew the oscar sketch was abt diversity approx .4 seconds into it
― johnny crunch, Sunday, 24 January 2016 23:05 (eight years ago) link
well it built up really well but then the end is the presenter going "the winner is... all the white guys!" and it's like "right. yeah. we got it. thank you."
― J0rdan S., Sunday, 24 January 2016 23:06 (eight years ago) link
yeah a lot of their sketches suffer from trying to put a bow on it at the end. the one w/ the two guys who didn't understand parties ended pretty badly with the quick jump forward to them actually showing up at the house.
― apple bottom steen, HOOS with the fur (some dude), Sunday, 24 January 2016 23:36 (eight years ago) link
you know, the shitty endsings of sketches don't really bother me that much? it doesn't really ruin a fun sketch before the end. it just makes it clear the sketch & laughs are over. like, the party guys are funny, even if the last line isn't. ditto "knowing" what the sketch is about re: oscar diversity, the joke isn't "getting" it? the increasingly pointless white roles (and the increasingly angry co-star glares) are what made it funny!
why do i always feel the need to defend this show :/
― Will v. Maim (Will M.), Monday, 25 January 2016 05:09 (eight years ago) link
The Oscars thing seemed like they couldn't hold back so the second fake movie clip gives the joke away as obviously as possible. A little more buildup would've worked better.
I love that bit. "It's like the asbestos removal men said, 'Good God, there's someone alive in here!'"

p boring episode. their attempts to clown Trump are sad and toothless.

Yeah, real Trump is more outrageous if not "funnier" than Darrell Hammond.

Their attempts to keep Darrell Hammond out of the dressing room and off of the stage are sad and toothless.

Give Darrell his KFC job back and, ffs, give Norm something more dignified to do.

Man, no discussion of the Larry David episode?

Kanye is an awful performer.
Larry David's opening monologue was great last week.
― Cornelius Pardew (jim in glasgow), Sunday, 14 February 2016 08:54 (eight years ago) link
Does Kanye have something going on with him? Seems really off.
― Cornelius Pardew (jim in glasgow), Sunday, 14 February 2016 08:58 (eight years ago) link
I was kind of wondering that myself. Really weird. Second song was better but seemed like he was barely in that.

do you mean physical health-wise? because kanye /always/ has "something going on with him" in some fashion or another

The whole Larry David episode was worth it just to see him in costume in the FBI training sketch.

So the Beyonce taped bit ... is this the second time this season that SNL has lampooned a pop star in the form of an apocalyptic Hollywood thriller? Didn't they do that with The Squad and Taylor Swift? And didn't they also do it with The Beygency?

If you, like me, enjoy impressions, check out Jay Pharaoh's appearance on Weekend Update this week. He does Dave Chappelle and Hannibal Burress! I don't think I've ever seen impressions of either guy before, by anyone.

Yeah that was pretty good. Not the best written bit but fun to watch.

His Chris Rock is nearly perfect. If I'd been in the other room and couldn't see Jay doing it, I'd have thought it was Chris.

Right? I'd seen her do most of, if not all, her singing impressions on Fallon before, but she's just really good at impressions all around.

She has a background as a child actress/nickelodeon actress, so not her first time.
