the old Star Wars audition skits w/ Kevin Spacey are super classic so the BTTF thing being a throwback to that was great, wish they did that kind of thing more often.

Probably not on hulu due to Huey Lewis music.

They're on there as part of the full episode, just not as clips.
― Tub Girl Time Machine (Phil D.), Monday, 1 November 2010 02:06 (thirteen years ago) link
ah! yeah no way i'm sitting thru a full episode, even w/ hamm. did they ever get around to putting up hader doing pacino checking his bank balance?

Too much Wiig ruined it for me.

Alda impersonation was amazing.

scarjo's monologue is so obv written by john mulaney -- has his exact cadence & joke style

oh hey it's another denzel impersonation, cool
― thomas smangalter (J0rdan S.), Sunday, 14 November 2010 04:58 (thirteen years ago) link
ScarJo on SNL = 90 minutes of Jersey-voice.
― Johnny Fever, Sunday, 14 November 2010 05:01 (thirteen years ago) link
i give them a pass on that because the first time they didn't actually write a real sketch for the denzel impression to appear in
that opening bit though, jesus christ
― A B C, Sunday, 14 November 2010 05:03 (thirteen years ago) link
Denzel bit probably the best use of Pharoah so far and also by far the funniest thing that's been on tonight.
― Gukbe, Sunday, 14 November 2010 05:05 (thirteen years ago) link
scarjo was much funnier in the "unstoppable" thing by far tho
― thomas smangalter (J0rdan S.), Sunday, 14 November 2010 05:08 (thirteen years ago) link
I liked the Denzel at Macy's bit far more than the Unstoppable parody. But I'd be fine not seeing another Denzel bit all season.

i don't think kanye really says "fam" all that much...
― thomas smangalter (J0rdan S.), Sunday, 14 November 2010 05:18 (thirteen years ago) link
yeah what was that
― A B C, Sunday, 14 November 2010 05:24 (thirteen years ago) link
it's shameful that snl has gone so long without someone who could at least attempt a kanye character though
pretty sure samberg is the only person on this show who reliably makes me larf

I can't remember what the love Kenan/hate Kenan balance is like around here, but I love when he gets a chance to shout with a shortened cadence like he did when would fall on the floor.
― Johnny Fever, Sunday, 14 November 2010 05:35 (thirteen years ago) link
vietnam? what was that?
i didn't really catch that school kid sketch because i was reading about interrogation techniques but maybe it was funny?
― The Great Jumanji, (La Lechera), Sunday, 14 November 2010 05:37 (thirteen years ago) link
Surprised by good Wiig's Paula Deen impression is.
― Johnny Fever, Sunday, 14 November 2010 05:38 (thirteen years ago) link
is this the first time that wiig has ever done paula deen??? this is pretty great imo
― thomas smangalter (J0rdan S.), Sunday, 14 November 2010 05:39 (thirteen years ago) link
how good xp
― Johnny Fever, Sunday, 14 November 2010 05:39 (thirteen years ago) link
yeah, she's got her even down the shoulder action
note: i have watched, i would say, 12 min total of paula deen because i seriously do not want to make her food so no thanks but she has a clearly defined way about her
― The Great Jumanji, (La Lechera), Sunday, 14 November 2010 05:41 (thirteen years ago) link
it's actually revolting to watch paula deen's show -- i actually don't know how she's not dead
― thomas smangalter (J0rdan S.), Sunday, 14 November 2010 05:43 (thirteen years ago) link
actually actually actually actually
Ooh, didn't expect them to do "Sprawl II"..nice
― Johnny Fever, Sunday, 14 November 2010 05:43 (thirteen years ago) link
when they showed regine in the gold sequined thing i was hoping it meant "sprawl II" -- v dope
― thomas smangalter (J0rdan S.), Sunday, 14 November 2010 05:44 (thirteen years ago) link
what was the first song they played
― thomas smangalter (J0rdan S.), Sunday, 14 November 2010 05:45 (thirteen years ago) link
i have no idea, but i will admit that i covet arcade fire girl's dress/glovelets and am also enjoying her exaggerated dance moves
― The Great Jumanji, (La Lechera), Sunday, 14 November 2010 05:45 (thirteen years ago) link
I don't know the names of the songs well enough to tell you.
― Johnny Fever, Sunday, 14 November 2010 05:46 (thirteen years ago) link
yeah i didn't remember it from the album, whatever it was i liked it a lot more than when i listened to the album
― thomas smangalter (J0rdan S.), Sunday, 14 November 2010 05:46 (thirteen years ago) link
i feel the same way -- heard the album and was like bleh but this flag team shit is getting me more interested
― The Great Jumanji, (La Lechera), Sunday, 14 November 2010 05:47 (thirteen years ago) link
well "sprawl II" always sounded like an instant classic to me
― thomas smangalter (J0rdan S.), Sunday, 14 November 2010 05:47 (thirteen years ago) link
That was really great when she brought out the ribbons.
― Johnny Fever, Sunday, 14 November 2010 05:47 (thirteen years ago) link
first song they did was 'we used to wait'
― Gukbe, Sunday, 14 November 2010 05:49 (thirteen years ago) link
Sprawl II, City With No Children, and Empty Room are the only ones I can honestly identify by name. I like the album, though, but I haven't bothered to isolate which songs are which for the most part.
― Johnny Fever, Sunday, 14 November 2010 05:49 (thirteen years ago) link
man, jenny slate is/was sooo much funnier than vanessa bayer
― thomas smangalter (J0rdan S.), Sunday, 14 November 2010 05:51 (thirteen years ago) link
is vanessa bayer the chipmunky girl? i like her. i still mourn michaela watkins though

so i watched snl last night and jesus what an unbelievably huge pile of crap. cant believe you all are into it. and wtf scarlet johanson isnt even that hot anymore. aslo arcade fire is some corny ass bullshit. fucking fuck you guys.
― ice cr?m, Sunday, 14 November 2010 15:33 (thirteen years ago) link
Yes! I was so happy when I spotted him.
First Arcade Fire song = "We Used to Wait."
― jaymc, Sunday, 14 November 2010 16:21 (thirteen years ago) link
(Oh sorry, I see that was already covered.)
1976 Peter Gabriel + 1986 Natalie Merchant + 1996 Bjork = Arcade Fire chick
― Tub Girl Time Machine (Phil D.), Sunday, 14 November 2010 18:59 (thirteen years ago) link
don't think i'm just kneejerk hating on Arcade Fire when i say the digital short's second half was totally unnecessary.
the monologue was omitted from the OnDemand rerun, so if it was for musical clearance issues i'm grateful that i was spared hearing Scarjo sing
― deej otm (some dude), Monday, 15 November 2010 20:27 (thirteen years ago) link
Er, the Arcade Fire portion of that Digital Short was the only reason it was worth existing. Otherwise it was just another lol lame Sandberg can rap! ish.

how so? it didn't make it any funnier, it was just a mildly unexpected addition to the joke that had already been established, whereas good Lonely Island stuff elevates the premise or does a weird twist at the end.
anyone else love the Brokeback Mountain sketch at the end? shit killed me, i think i'm starting to like Vanessa Bayer.
― some dude, Monday, 15 November 2010 20:35 (thirteen years ago) link
I don't get your complaint, I mean, how is Arcade Fire suddenly bursting in and joining in NOT a "weird twist at the end"? You saw that coming? I get if you think it was stupid, but I feel like it was totally in line with the Lonely Island stuff.
Loved that kid actress skit, yeah. Also, loved the Unstoppable skit because it made fun of exactly the same things I've been laughing at since I saw the original trailer.
