When I heard that Carvey was hosting, I groaned -- I liked him on SNL when I was a kid, but whenever I've seen him on talk shows since, he comes across as unattractively desperate to please. But I actually thought it was a pretty good episode.

The Dana Carvey Show was amazing.

I feel pathetic for genuinely liking the new wave song at the sports bar.

Best SNL episode in ages, IMO. Loved the synth pop act the sports bar.

was very bittersweet to hear the canned Phil Hartman intro to the Wayne's World sketch
― some dude, Monday, 7 February 2011 14:03 (thirteen years ago) link
It was a pretty solid early Depeche homage, too bad the sketch around it was pretty flat.

between this and Portlandia i think Armisen is starting to show he's got a higher batting average than Samberg w/ comedic songs

I don't know who their music director is or how they came up with it, but a few years ago remember the episode where somebody's at an italian restaurant and taking acid and they look at their pasta and the meatballs are new wave dancing to some synth pop? It was Heaven 17's cover of Are Everything by the Buzzcocks. Who's idea was that and how can I get their job?
― dan selzer, Monday, 7 February 2011 17:48 (thirteen years ago) link
It was probably Armisen's idea.

the opening where armison is in a record store bothers me cuz he's looking through records and the jam divider card is next to the sex pistols divider card
― pajamagram sam (upper mississippi sh@kedown), Monday, 7 February 2011 18:26 (thirteen years ago) link
if that store is filing "the" bands under "T" fuck them
It's Bleeker Bobs. They have everything mixed up by a loosely defined genre system. Like there's an industrial section and behind that is a Wax Trax section and behind that is a section called "Throbbing Gristle/Psychic TV/Coil/Chris & Cosey" etc. He was probably in the UK punk section.
― dan selzer, Monday, 7 February 2011 18:58 (thirteen years ago) link
ah ok. i was thinking some SNL staffer moved the cards around so there would be two "cool" bands together

Btw, really disappointed that SNL is letting Chris Brown be the musical guest this weekend.

Not that I've seen, but I've missed a few episodes here and there since it happened.

You do know they had Guiliani host, right? He's abused millions of people.

Oh come on. Fwiw, I wasn't happy to see him host either, but yer schtick is wearing a bit thin tbh.

I'm liking this so far. The British mobster movie spoof was pretty good.

Bearing in mind Katy Perry is apparently best buds with Rihanna, did anyone pick up on Brand's weird gesture thing in the intro for the 2nd song? And at the very end he pulled a kind of groan face after thanking Chris Brown, followed by a mention of a cut finger and, looking right at Brown, said something about a little bit of blood..?
― prior, Monday, 14 February 2011 18:27 (thirteen years ago) link
I noticed that hardly any cast members were mingling with Chris Brown and his band during the final credits -- they were all far off to the side.

yeah really bad...lets just get russell brand to yell in every sketch he is in. and wtf was that sketch about tea?
― OLD MAN YELLS AT SHOUT RAP (chrisv2010), Monday, 14 February 2011 18:38 (thirteen years ago) link
I liked the time machine/George Washington sketch, which was probably the one time Brand's yelling was used to great effect.

I thought Weekend Update was especially solid this week, and the "British Movie" digital short was also pretty funny.
― Tyler/Perry's "Dude (Looks Like a Lady)" (jaymc), Monday, 14 February 2011 18:44 (thirteen years ago) link
British Movie would have been funnier if they hadn't overplayed it. Those movies are ripe for mockery without making the "I can't understand what they are saying" over and over again.

british movie was good, that was about it.

This was better than it could've been. I feel like the audience was kind of stingy with laughs.

only watched half of it so far but not bad! Miley's not doing too much. Fred's puerto rican(dominican?) stand-up routine killed me.
― dan selzer, Sunday, 6 March 2011 14:59 (thirteen years ago) link
yeah Richie Inez was great.

watched like half of this — taboo & apl.de.ap sketch got some good laffs outta me

i thought miley looked kind of hot during the french sketch.

everyone looks kind of hot if they are doing a silly enough dance t/f?

Yes, better ep than I expected. They used Miley well.

I've never seen Hannah Montana but I enjoyed this episode a lot. I feel Paul Brittain is getting more awkward with each sketch he's in.
