Saturday Night Live

"I'm just interested in A.I."

also I'm impressed they just let the concept of the sketch sit instead of playing everything to death, it's not like them to do that, dare I say the current crop of SNL writers are good at comedy

Exactly - it has almost an "alt comedy" vibe that I don't associate w/SNL... take a silly/random idea, and do it justice without overplaying it. A few of the sketches in the Kristen Wiig episode were like this as well (though I didn't think they were as funny).

(The "Jumanji" sketch from that ep. resonated for us, because we have that Ticket to Ride game sitting on our shelf; we played it once...)

The first Lisa from Temecula sketch was another one where I was like, wow, they're going to actually let the funny just be funny here and not step on their own toes

A. Whitney Brown on the new WTF

...and it's really good. Brown's a terrific storyteller, and Maron generally stays out of his way.

Joke Swap!

Che looked genuinely nervous about that Kendrick joke

Audience doesn't even know what the space laser shit is

most of that jewish stuff did not land at all.

generally pretty bad episode esp compared to the last few.

kendrick bit was funny though.

Bringing in a rabbi to do anti-semitic jokes in her presence is... not that funny?

I find Che and Jost to be so unpleasant 90% of the time. I would really like to see them both gone next season.

This episode was not that funny overall, but I appreciate that Jake Gyllenhall committed to every bit.
