why are these people telling spectacularly unfunny jokes in unfunny skits unable to stop laughing at their own unfunny jokes in their unfunny skits

Che and Jost are terrible though

There hasn't been a cast member since Jimmy Fallon that has made me question the show as much as Pete Davidson. I just don't get him. He's terrible in skits, and they just have him on to talk about himself. Is that funny? No, it's not funny. For a while I want to say they did this with Leslie Jones, too, who was also not funny when she did it (and is also not funny in skits, iirc.)
― Josh in Chicago, Monday, 5 November 2018 13:10 (five years ago) link
I feel the same way, but I think back to when it was clear to me that Fallon was manifestly terrible and yet he was robably the most popular cast member for awhile and people still watch his show even after the Trump debacle. (OTOH I have a friend who was an itern on the show back in the day and she said that Fallon and Fey were the only cast members who even acknowledged the existence of crew/staff)

of any celebrity I ever interviewed Fallon was the nicest and most down to earth

agreed on Pete Davidson - hard to think of someone who is so uncharismatic and brings so little to the table. the navy seal joke is getting a lot of heat from the right wing, apparently NBC apologized? if he gets cut loose (doubt it), i suspect it'd be the final straw rather than the joke alone. i mean, Lorne clearly likes him/has a soft spot for him. remember when he was allowed to take a hiatus from the show to go to rehab for smoking weed? (...and then go on weekend update to talk about it.... ugh.....)
― flappy bird, Monday, 5 November 2018 17:52 (five years ago) link
yeah I'm sure it was for smoking weed

I didn't get the appeal of Pete Davidson until I saw him in that netflix romcom. I like his weekend update monologues but never knew what he really did on the show. Maybe he's a strong writer? I give a shit about his eyepatch joke.
― Yerac, Monday, 5 November 2018 18:03 (five years ago) link
right, one would think so, but Lorne letting someone back on the show after going to rehab for hard drugs seems... insane? especially when it's PD. idfk. he definitely is entering a Chevy Chase sorta phase where the antics outside the show are getting more press
xp
― flappy bird, Monday, 5 November 2018 18:04 (five years ago) link
an eyepatch joke could be good but this, there was nothing there. just like all of his Weekend Update monologues

cosigning matt on fallon; my experience with him in person is that he's genuinely one of the nicest guys you'll ever meet. not funny, but quite a nice guy.
― Fuck the NRA (ulysses), Monday, 5 November 2018 20:45 (five years ago) link
yea I've never heard a bad word about him, I'm not really a fan but I'm happy he's been successful. (see also: Adam Sandler)
― frogbs, Monday, 5 November 2018 21:28 (five years ago) link
i wouldn't doubt it has a lot to do with his rise above his talent level in the industry, just being nice and polite to ppl especially ppl on their way up

It's a really good line, and cruelly accurate.
― grawlix (unperson), Monday, 5 November 2018 22:06 (five years ago) link
it's a funny line delivered by an unfunny cast member. don't get really get Davidson's appeal, but all the pearl-clutching chuds on social media can die in a fucking fire.

I really loved that House Hunters video.
― Yerac, Monday, 12 November 2018 12:45 (five years ago) link
That was the only thing I liked. And the hip hop video about respect and consent. Otherwise a pretty dire episode, and I’m generally pretty forgiving.
― dan selzer, Monday, 12 November 2018 14:31 (five years ago) link
Oh yeah I forgot about the hip hop video. That was good too. Agree with the direness of the rest of it.

Is breaking character part of the casting process now?

Crenshaw is a piece of shit. Reading written jokes from a cue card won't change the reasons he was endorsed by, like, the TX Tea Party. Never forget *that*.

other favorite thing was Cecily's performance as the white house intern during weekend update. She's so underrated.
