hamster sketch was really well done i thought. only highlight of the show for me. acting really sold it.

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.

Vanessa Bayer on Weekend Update was great

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

I have megacrush on Vanessa Bayer

Back of the line, pal
But really that character she did on WU is so perfect.

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.

This sketch is so pitch perfect it almost hurts.

TS: Kevin Roberts vs David S Pumpkins
― musically, Monday, 24 October 2016 17:53 (seven years ago) link
Kevin Roberts by a mile.
― schwantz, Monday, 24 October 2016 18:07 (seven years ago) link
David S. Pumpkins felt like an attempt to re-Reynolds. Can't be done.
― Lawsonomy Domine (GOTT PUNCH II HAWKWINDZ), Monday, 24 October 2016 18:19 (seven years ago) link
hanks is a great host imo
― johnny crunch, Monday, 24 October 2016 18:25 (seven years ago) link
I wish I could find the "I stubbed my toe" bit Hanks did in place of a monologue once. It had Abraham Lincoln.
― Lawsonomy Domine (GOTT PUNCH II HAWKWINDZ), Monday, 24 October 2016 18:41 (seven years ago) link
i think kate mckinnon's alien abduction one w/ryan gosling is all time top 10

Kevin Roberts is my fav and I use "Can a bitch get a doughnut?" in conversation more than anyone would think possible.

Jeet Heer et al loved this sketch, there was even a WaPo blog about it apparently

the final sketch was good again this week too. feel like this has been a really strong season? note I have barely watched this show over the past 10 years.

In general, this cast kills it even when the material isn't that strong.

the veteran new york stand up comedy guy on the news always kills me, and i loved hanks as a guest on it

Love Bruce Chandling. My wife HATES Bruce Chandling.
― Josh in Chicago, Tuesday, 25 October 2016 17:43 (seven years ago) link
Bruce Chandling was cut for time, but is on youtube. I normally don't like him, but found Mooney quite moving after Hanks came on.
― Frederik B, Tuesday, 25 October 2016 17:47 (seven years ago) link
it's a variant of the neil hamburger thing - the hacky comic juxtaposed w pathos. The bit's not as aggro as Hamburger but Mooney does it v well imo
― Οὖτις, Tuesday, 25 October 2016 17:49 (seven years ago) link
didn't see the most recent bruce chandling but i often feel that it goes over really poorly with the studio audience which makes it come over kind of badly, though i personally find it funny

The Black Jeopardy was pretty good and I love Keenan.
But I hated his reaction lines. "YES! WE ALL KNOW A GUY LIKE THAT! THERE'S ONE IN EVERY NEIGHBORHOOD!"
I mean, I got the joke the first time.
― pplains, Tuesday, 25 October 2016 17:57 (seven years ago) link
people on facebook from my hometown were saying this as well, but they were all white, and my hometown has less than 100 black people in it, so it just feels weird to make that comment, unless you're/we're talking about Tom Hanks' trump hat dude, though there's a bunch of them in my hometown.
― sarahell, Tuesday, 25 October 2016 17:58 (seven years ago) link
Love Bruce. As mentioned just above it was cut for time. Will have to watch it. There's two other Bruce bits cut for time in the past that are great, online.
― dan selzer, Tuesday, 25 October 2016 17:59 (seven years ago) link
bouie really liked the black jeopardy sketch. i had the opposite reaction (didn't find it so funny) but figured it just wasn't targeted to me:http://www.slate.com/articles/news_and_politics/politics/2016/10/snl_s_black_jeopardy_sketch_was_the_most_astute_analysis_of_american_politics.html

I dunno, I just enjoyed the delivery, with his increasing amounts of shock and joy and perplexity

black jeopardy isn't that funny and it weirds me out to see a million white people enthusing over a sketch that is mostly black people (affectionately) making fun of black people

Kevin Roberts sketch is funnier if you watch how hard it was for Larry David to keep it together all week:

in favor of that terrilble 'here's our musical halloween show' sketch, yeah, he should be (unless he wrote that)

Tom Hanks in the WU bit seemed like he was channeling Will Ferrell's Harry Caray impersonation.
