Smash Mouth sketch was pretty funny. Reminded me of that "Go For Your Dreams" sketch where a dozen baseball players come out of the kid's closet.

otm exactly what I was thinking from the set-up.

yeah, as mentioned (above I think?) that baseball player skit is one of m favorites. I thought this episode was pretty bad though, especially Weekend Update, which can usually be good for some solid crappy topical humor/political jokes, I felt they were extra weak.

does nipsey hustle just have a funny name that's good to riff on or is he actually reaching people in some capacity, because last time i checked he was famous as like saigon

that car horn sketch had me in fucking tears, oh my god

yeah the exact size of NH's fame right now is "who is this clown with the worst name in the history of rap who's on We Are The World this early in his career?" which is why I'm amazed he agreed to it regardless of any misguided desire to 'be a part of history' or w/e

oh i didn't know Nipsey was actually on WATW. I still haven't watched it!

Wow, I assumed they made up Nipsey Hustle.

dan did you see doorbells earlier this season or have you just seen car horns?

someone tell me what happens in the smash mouth sketch, hulu cut it out
Basically they keep popping out and eventually the mom tells the daughter all of the good memories she should have associated with the song (like one of her teachers using it for a class video, etc) and Smash Mouth busts through the wall and they all dance. The set-up was way, way, way better than the punchline.
― you gone float up with it (jon /via/ chi 2.0), Friday, 5 March 2010 04:14 (fourteen years ago) link
the smashmouth sketch got cut out when i watched it OnDemand too -- i guess they used the actual songs and didn't wanna pay more clearance fees for anything besides the broadcast?

i thought that was really funny -- i've never really seen him in that context tho so i wouldn't know how much of the jokes were old
― jizzchin (J0rdan S.), Sunday, 7 March 2010 04:45 (fourteen years ago) link
I've seen his stand up/piano stuff before, but not for a few years. These jokes were all new to me.
― Johnny Fever, Sunday, 7 March 2010 04:46 (fourteen years ago) link
deadpan jokes + piano is sooo played
― iatee, Sunday, 7 March 2010 04:50 (fourteen years ago) link
the concept not the piano
Who else is doing it right now (or anytime in the last 10 years)?

ironic musical comedy is probably the worst brand of comedy imaginable, but i thought it worked in the snl context

I'm just saying Galifianakis has been doing this at least since his VH1 show (and in all likelihood before that), so that means it's been a staple of his act for 9 years (or more).
― Johnny Fever, Sunday, 7 March 2010 04:59 (fourteen years ago) link
these first two skits have been aggressively bad
― jizzchin (J0rdan S.), Sunday, 7 March 2010 05:01 (fourteen years ago) link
it is entirely possible that he was among the lame comedy central comics doing this in my memory
― iatee, Sunday, 7 March 2010 05:02 (fourteen years ago) link
the bidet one almost seemed like this was a show making fun of lame tv skits

More than 9 years, but he's pretty much dropped it entirely in the last 3 or so years, so I'm kind of surprised he did it tonight.

The inherent comedy value of two men kissing: more or less than the inherent comedy value of white people rapping?
― kenan, Sunday, 7 March 2010 05:06 (fourteen years ago) link
Both were kind of funny in 1990. Neither is in 2010.
― Johnny Fever, Sunday, 7 March 2010 05:08 (fourteen years ago) link
your writers probably aren't creative enough if you have your comedian host playing himself in two of the first four sketches
― jizzchin (J0rdan S.), Sunday, 7 March 2010 05:08 (fourteen years ago) link
However, the inherent comedy of members of a family making out (and making out AGGRESSIVELY) is always funny.
― Johnny Fever, Sunday, 7 March 2010 05:09 (fourteen years ago) link
The "Taboo" series of films doesn't really play as comedy, though.
― kenan, Sunday, 7 March 2010 05:11 (fourteen years ago) link
yeah snl seems like it's been doing that a lot lately, way more than it used to. I forgot how recent the megan fox episode was, but she was 'megan fox' for like 90% of the sketches.
