Saturday Night Live

Eight fucking minutes? That's nearly half a sitcom episode

how did the episode hosted by Alec Baldwin end up being the most inconsequential and anodyne show of the season so far? unnecessary reprise of McCarthy as Spicer, a single dumb Trump sketch, and Baldwin didn't play Trump in every sketch like he should've. HMRPH

episode was meh but "guy who just bought a boat" on update was great

I liked Kate's Elizabeth Warren.

Rouuuughhhh episode.

I mean, Kate McKinnon as Kellyanne Conway on her cellphone popping up here and there was definitely the best thing.

WILL YOU EAT

Real problem with the cue cards this week. Octavia Spencer stumbled over her lines quite a bit. The Zoo-oopolis voiceover skit was great, though. Total foam - just obscure impressions. Best sketch. Constant Trump stuff getting tiresome. They need to recharge.

The show should be Trump focused 100% of the time IMO.

Sure, if it's good. There's been so much crap and it detracts from the good stuff. I mean, the first Melissa McCarthy/Sean Spicer skit was fantastic in every way - hilarious on its own and effective in rattling the President. the second one was not only unfunny but unnecessary. Sessions as Gump was just dumb. Love McKinnon as Kellyanne, would love to see more sketches that revolve around her.

like that People's Court sketch last month - awful

They should invite Trump back to host again.

Aww man RIP.

Saturday night they showed the new scan of Belladonna of Sadness and holy shit that was the most mindblowing thing I've ever seen on TV!! They followed it with Fantastic Planet.

^TCM, i'm guessing

lol

This was my favorite bit of last week:

Boo. Try this

Also, this is cool: http://variety.com/2017/tv/news/saturday-night-live-all-time-zones-1202010211/

scarjo is a really really gd host

per NY Times, most watched season in 24 years. Lorne is def in the Trump business.

Yup

was one of the funnier eps in a while

I loved the Olive Garden skit

"I'm 53."
"Jesus..."

Sectional bit killed.

The political stuff mostly left me cold this week, but the monologue was great and Kate McKinnon killed on weekend update

Three good sketches - more than i remember in ages. Sectional, clown, and the amazingly bad borat accent in the tenement sketch that had the whole cast breaking

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.

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

search: monologue and tenement museum sketch
destroy: everything else

Nobody liked "Scott"? Easy target but fun. And the Pepsi ad bit.

I thought Scott was partially riffing on the Pepsi commercial before they did a whole sketch on the Pepsi commercial

What year did that last sketch slot unofficially become the dumping ground for weird shit. Like I def remember some weird stuff in that spot as far back as the Norm days

they are getting ready for the full sell out

Maybe I am easily amused but the eyelashes skit slayed me.

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

look where I got Kodak

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

I thought it was dumb, then he raised the stupidity levels even higher by actually saying "MY WIFE," then I laughed

I was at the Tenement Museum last week and I was just pleasantly surprised how extremely well they actually recreated the old room

The Family Feud skit was actually funny!

Also, when did Harry Styles turn into a Gallagher brother?

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.

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.

the savage garden sketch resulting in the united / pepsi "jokes" is prob the laziest sketch in the history of this show

why does james murphy look like a young steve bannon

bad luck?

"Hello, I'm James Murphy and I'm considered important for some reason."

"Hello, I'm James Murphy and these are my analogue synthesizers you can't hear."

"Hello, I'm James Murphy and you'll be mildly relieved to learn that I'm not here to shout poetry at you until the music starts."

"Hello, I'm James Murphy are you paying attention now, Rolling Stone?!?"

ive said it once and ill say it again, bannon is the love child of james murphy and tim heidecker
