I don't give a shit about Hamilton but he was good. Really weird how different he looks without that stache though.
Am I hallucinating or did 21 Pilots do a lame, 1970s sounding white reggae song?

Good advice, I watched it as it was broadcast and didn't walk away and get a drink like I should've.

Their songs are usually poetry-based (written by Joseph and Dun);[61] Joseph has stated that when poetry is too long, he needs to start rapping to fit the lyrics in.
millennials really don't understand what editing is

having never seen nor heard hamilton the fact that the songs were rewrites from that didn't resonate with me but it was still really good.

His 'never gon be president now' is from when Hamilton's scandalous Reynolds pamphlet was published, detailing his extramarital affair. It was a pretty perfect moment.

can't believe i never got to see this with daveed

thought this was a really woeful episode. and for a broadway star miranda was surprisingly poor in the sketches - usually find that people with that musical theatre background are well suited for cameo appearances in comedy but I found him surprisingly poor. less said about the broadway rapping elements the better as far as I'm concerned.
but the main problem with this episode: the writing was garbage. even the trump/clinton wasn't all that great and with that cast and the week's events that should really be a slam dunk.
― ælərdaɪs (jim in vancouver), Tuesday, 11 October 2016 19:13 (seven years ago) link
the writing on this show has been garbage since the new cast came in. which is too bad, cuz I like the new cast a lot! but it seems like they never have anything to work with
― Οὖτις, Tuesday, 11 October 2016 19:16 (seven years ago) link
yeah i like a lot of the cast and sometimes they make it worth watching, unfortunately the sketch's are often so poor there's no saving them.

I don't think Lin-Manuel considers himself a particularly good rapper, when he free style battled on Fallon against Black Thought his response was 'why am I here?' He is a pretty good writer, though, and his monologue had some great lines. On the election
The way these grand-standing candidates be talkin’They’re just a tweet away from facing off in WeehawkenThey keep brawlin’, D and RNC keep fallin’I like it better when it’s Kate McKinnon v. Baldwin
That's good writing to me? It seemed to me the show didn't know where to go with him, though.

The one where the guy phoned his mom was pretty sweet.
CHONK!

this was a good episode most of the way through
― akm, Monday, 17 October 2016 13:17 (seven years ago) link
Better than the Lin-Manuel episode;
― curmudgeon, Monday, 17 October 2016 16:11 (seven years ago) link
Some good stuff near the beginning but really petered out by the end.

The lampooning of the second debate had a really calming effect on me. It was so awful and cruel, to see it lampooned seemed relaxing.
― Frederik B, Monday, 17 October 2016 17:07 (seven years ago) link
thought this was a pretty awful episode again but much better than the miranda episode. nadir for me was the robot sketch, which was just excruciating. chonk definitely the highlight of the show, and weekend update wasn't too bad - not a huge fan of jost and che in general.
why do i keep watching this show? haha.
― *-* (jim in vancouver), Monday, 17 October 2016 17:35 (seven years ago) link
i liked the robot sketch. I liked the hamster sketch at the end too.
― akm, Monday, 17 October 2016 17:56 (seven years ago) link
I hated the robot and hamster sketches!
Chonk was amazing agreed.

I didn't laugh out loud much but I really did love that bizarre clusterfuck of a sketch, had it aired later it'd be an all-time 5-to-1 classic
― a simba man (Will M.), Monday, 17 October 2016 23:31 (seven years ago) link
Just watched Chonk, and it's funny, but if that was the highlight...
― rip van wanko, Tuesday, 18 October 2016 00:19 (seven years ago) link
It was. But agree with Will that the limo sketch should've been later, it would've capitalized on that weirdo energy they get around that time. Sometimes.

thehamster sketch reminded me of early SNL; where it wasn't 'funny' so much as, well, here's a concept: what if who's afraid of virgina woolfe was played by hamsters? Ok, let's build a whole bunch of props and a set to support this dumb idea.
― akm, Tuesday, 18 October 2016 02:23 (seven years ago) link
hamster sketch was really well done i thought. only highlight of the show for me. acting really sold it.
― rip my mensches (s.clover), Tuesday, 18 October 2016 06:06 (seven years ago) link
The sink was pretty good as well. And the short film - not so much the sketch, though Vanessa Bayer was good, but the short film itself. This season has been pretty weird at times. Shame about the live sketches, they're mostly rubbish, but a lot of good stuff around the margins.
― Frederik B, Tuesday, 18 October 2016 12:07 (seven years ago) link
Vanessa Bayer on Weekend Update was great

I love that bit but like so many it's getting a bit tired.

Back of the line, pal
But really that character she did on WU is so perfect.
― Lawsonomy Domine (GOTT PUNCH II HAWKWINDZ), Tuesday, 18 October 2016 23:41 (seven years ago) link
If you havent seen it before, it's been a lot better in the past. Check it out.
― dan selzer, Wednesday, 19 October 2016 02:54 (seven years ago) link
i hadn't seen that character. it was funny. she is crushworthy, though I like cecily strong more in that department. and I'd be happy if Nasim Pedrad came back.
― akm, Wednesday, 19 October 2016 04:13 (seven years ago) link
I think the child-actor character started like her first season on the show. Totally worth searching that sketch out.
― Lawsonomy Domine (GOTT PUNCH II HAWKWINDZ), Wednesday, 19 October 2016 06:54 (seven years ago) link

Kevin Roberts by a mile.

David S. Pumpkins felt like an attempt to re-Reynolds. Can't be done.

I wish I could find the "I stubbed my toe" bit Hanks did in place of a monologue once. It had Abraham Lincoln.
