Only thing I laughed at last night was the Manilow gag on Update.

Nobody liked "Scott"? Easy target but fun. And the Pepsi ad bit.
― dan selzer, Monday, 10 April 2017 00:13 (seven years ago) link
I thought Scott was partially riffing on the Pepsi commercial before they did a whole sketch on the Pepsi commercial

xpost Go back and watch the OG cast's mid-show shilling for Kodak in season one. This is not a new thing.

I thought it was the best episode in a while, though I felt like the borat accent/chocolate face kinda thing was lazy unless it's a whole meta commentary on how these historical actors are stealing from Borat.

i thought it was a dumb sketch made funny by the fact that louie ck couldn't do a good accent and instead just kept accidentally doing borat-voice, which was so stupid it made the rest of the cast break

Also, when did Harry Styles turn into a Gallagher brother?
― some sad trombone Twilight Zone shit (cryptosicko), Sunday, 16 April 2017 04:15 (seven years ago) link
this was alright, but the trump sketch was pretty tired this time out. again, better sketches at the end of the episode than I would have expected (like the basketball guys in the final one); nice United/Pepsi ad punchline in that one sketch. This was my frist exposure to post one direction harry styles, he seems very dull but not as toxic as I expected.
― akm, Sunday, 16 April 2017 05:50 (seven years ago) link
My take on Harry Styles is that he can sing his face off but has severe problems finding/writing (delete where applicable) songs worth singing.
― Rachel Luther Queen (DJP), Sunday, 16 April 2017 12:17 (seven years ago) link
the savage garden sketch resulting in the united / pepsi "jokes" is prob the laziest sketch in the history of this show

One thing about LCD that is odd to me, and maybe becaues I live in CA, is that they never seemed like the huge deal some people made them out to be. their albums are really good, but a film and a big to-do about breaking up? were they that important to some people? Was this self-mythologizing?

Yoshimura also played Sulu when Shatner hosted in the 80s, and apparently also played Sulu when Patrick Stewart hosted in the 90s!

no idea, perhaps they are mediocre enough to be huge. to me they will always be tied to the early 00s electroclash and i preferred the Rapture and Fischerspooner back then.
― AdamVania (Adam Bruneau), Sunday, 7 May 2017 16:53 (seven years ago) link
were they that important to some people?
They were that important to music critics living in NYC (and, by extension, music critics who wished they lived in NYC).
― Malcolm X, Martin Luther King, Jr, and Violent J (誤訳侮辱), Sunday, 7 May 2017 17:06 (seven years ago) link
Maybe because they were an electronica group that broke somewhat into the mainstream?
I remember people raving about the Stone Roses as if they were the next Beatles ("No really, forget those other groups I said were the next Beatles, this is the real deal!") but they seem to be treated now as just another group from that era.

he sang in every single skit. i get that he can actually sing but did he need to do it in every skit he was in?
get the feeling they're saving some material for the finale with Melissa McCarthy next week. How have ratings been now that they're going live in the West Coast? I went back and read an article from last year about this show needed a save and soon; it does seem like Baldwin and Trump honestly saved this show this year. Ensemble cast is good but McKinnon aside they still don't seem to have a single break out star; but maybe that's for the best.
