Saturday Night Live

black jeopardy is always good

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

jost?

seriously the french voiceovers on funny animal youtubes.... that was first 30 minutes worthy

no kyle's character, bruce chandling (i had to look it up)

aaagh my stream died before we got to the news which means I missed a Bruce CHandling it which means I am sad :(

Love Bruce Chandling. My wife HATES Bruce Chandling.

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.

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

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

chandling wasn't on this week

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.

This sketch is so pitch perfect it almost hurts.

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.

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.

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:

But I hated his reaction lines. "YES! WE ALL KNOW A GUY LIKE THAT! THERE'S ONE IN EVERY NEIGHBORHOOD!"

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

chapelle show syndrome

i also think snl is bad in general though so take me with a grain of salt

i watched kevin roberts and thought it was pretty weak too so i guess i'm just an snl scrooge
bruce chandling made me laugh though

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

I wonder if Mooney's pissed that he has so much good stuff that's getting cut

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

that was especially bad

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

I'm just catching up to the thread but I think Vanessa Bayer's newscasters of the future is the best Update bit since Garth and Kat

better than Jacob the Bar Mitzvah Boy?

It's close.

Nov. 12: Dave Chappelle / A Tribe Called Quest

http://www.stereogum.com/1909651/a-tribe-called-quest-confirmed-for-snl-with-host-dave-chappelle/news/

Sick!

lol @ mysterious lurker

Dave Chapelle is such a brilliant host idea that there's no way it will live up to my expectations </debbie downer>

seriously tho speaking of Comedy Central shows I'd love to see Key and/or Peele host at some point

Maybe Paul Mooney can join the writing staff for the week like he did when Pryor hosted

Let Mooney do a digital short or something. Dude needs to be on TV more.

Mooney's done.

Ugh, that's awful.

there are gonna be so many 1500 word pieces on the internet about this week's sketches

it's gonna be like an avalanche of "why you should think this was funny" or "why this was an important snl sketch" pieces

Fuuuuck.

“They should not be having that conversation in front of black people. You go ahead and feel something about your rights. But if you’re putting sexism and homophobia and transphobia in front of racism, you should be ashamed of yourself.”

Yup, every group should fight a separate little war for respect and never support each other, this is a great idea.

yeah JCLC the real takepocalypse is next week

That Halle Berry joke is so fucking good

“She’s going to be on a coin someday. And her behavior has not been coin-worthy,” he said.

otm

maybe this is why she loves bankers so much

British ppl should be permanently banned from American comedy programs

i bet chappelle really liked the black jeopardy sketch

im sure there will be a lot of ppl making the neither chappelle or snl have been funny in 10+ yrs.......half of that is def true

Looks like chappelle has entered his old-man-reactionary phase
