xps He actually got FOUR, which I think is the first time that's ever happened. Both U2 and Phoenix have gotten three performances in the last decade.

Pretty dire episode imo. 'They all kiss and lick each other for 7 minutes' is NOT writing. Can't believe this is a recurring thing. This week actually made me long for a Kristen Wiig sketch. Wonder if she was sick or something.
McCartney, and especially the band he "bought" (lol Scott) sounded pretty bad.
I don't find Stefon nearly as funny as y'all do (or as Hader finds himself, apparently.)

Uh, Wiig was the mom in the Vogelchek sketch. But yeah, those are pretty tiresome at this point. Stefon is fantastic, fuiud.

Pretty tired fo the kissing bit, but it seems like thats become a Paul Rudd recurring thing.
What I did love to my surprise was the game show, since I usually despite the game show as an SNL skit frame. This one however was extremely funny. Kenan was great.
I also liked the cat food ad. It was subtle and simple.

the cabaret thing was dire
the endless announcements before the christmas pageant sketch was extra shitty too
the sex advice show with the bigot host could have been ok but was not. is that a recurring bit?
― goole, Monday, 13 December 2010 18:32 (thirteen years ago) link
so weird how it was a bad episode but i kinda remember it fondly two days later? the cat food thing was hilarious
― goole, Monday, 13 December 2010 18:33 (thirteen years ago) link
The sex-advice show is a recurring bit, but it was not changed significantly -- or at all -- from the first time they tried it.

Yeah, pretty much all of the recurring skits this week were awful. There attempt at "look, Jay Pharoah can do original characters that aren't impressions too!" failed horribly.

WAHT That was a tour de force for Sudeikis!
― Lightning Is For Babies (Johnny Fever), Monday, 13 December 2010 19:02 (thirteen years ago) link
dunno if my broadcast was different, but the first second or two got cut off and you couldn't tell if rudd was a character who was trying out for something, or, later it turned out he was supposed to be paul rudd. sudeikis is funny always but it didn't make sense as a situation
― goole, Monday, 13 December 2010 19:07 (thirteen years ago) link
yeah, i was excited to see Jay not do an impression, but thought the whole skit fell flat. Kenan killed it though.
The cabaret thing is a recurring skit, usually the guest is doing a PSA and Sudeikas is rocking the boom mic like an asshole. I liked this twist.
― dan selzer, Monday, 13 December 2010 23:37 (thirteen years ago) link
Someone told me that Kenan Thompson isn't FB friends with Kel Mitchell, which is just really discouraging and sad and says a lot about fickle human nature imo.
I imagined they'd still be best buds, writing on each other's wall all the time and sharing jokes, but no.
― Cunga, Wednesday, 15 December 2010 07:01 (thirteen years ago) link
There was some media forum where someone asked Kenan if there's a K&K reunion in the works, and he simply said "No. Next question?"

the thing i really love about Lonely Island is how they get ppl like Akon, Rihanna, Justin Timberlake, Norah Jones, Strokes guy, T-Pain etc to play it TOTALLY STRAIGHT. Like singing all the ridiculous shit as if it was any of their songs.
Like its def not like Paul McCartney showing up in "Red Hooded Sweatshirt" or whatev
