season premiere tonight! excited
― Michael F Gill, Sunday, 25 September 2011 03:16 (twelve years ago) link
Kinda feels like an extension of last season with a long break in the middle. NO new cast at all to look out for peels away a little bit of the anticipation.

Pretty sure someone at Jezebel is already typing out a screed on the "Red Flag" commercial bit.
― Johnny Fever, Sunday, 25 September 2011 03:51 (twelve years ago) link
I think I only listened to The King of Limbs twice and barely remember any of it...which song did Radiohead just play? Because that was great.
― Johnny Fever, Sunday, 25 September 2011 04:15 (twelve years ago) link
First one was "Lotus Flower," right? Sounded better than the album version.
― Michael F Gill, Sunday, 25 September 2011 05:06 (twelve years ago) link
Second one was Staircase (not on the album).
― Melissa W, Sunday, 25 September 2011 05:29 (twelve years ago) link
the tony bennett thing was a-mazing
― mizzell, Sunday, 25 September 2011 05:44 (twelve years ago) link
Yeah! This was a pretty good episode. Red Flag!

although i welcome new blood, it's not like new cast members ever really do much in their first episodes, they usually take a while to get some shine. so imo season premieres of SNL are usually more about "aww i miss (whoever left/got fired over the summer)" than anything else, which there was none of this year.
― some dude, Sunday, 25 September 2011 14:36 (twelve years ago) link
They could've at least bumped Vanessa Bayer and Taran Killam up to regular status, but I guess that won't happen until Wiig and Sudeikis leave.
― Johnny Fever, Sunday, 25 September 2011 16:14 (twelve years ago) link
kinda laughed @ the last 'dying wish' foxhole sketch but this ep was p dire
― johnny crunch, Sunday, 25 September 2011 16:23 (twelve years ago) link
"The cast remained the same as in Season 36, although Nasim Pedrad was promoted from featured player to repertory player.[3]"
Well, that was long overdue (even though I didn't realize it when the opening was happening).
― Johnny Fever, Sunday, 25 September 2011 16:25 (twelve years ago) link
I thought it was a pretty funny episode! xpost
― Gukbe, Sunday, 25 September 2011 16:30 (twelve years ago) link
man, alec as tony bennett slayed me
― yung huma (J0rdan S.), Tuesday, 27 September 2011 04:45 (twelve years ago) link
this episode is hilarious front to back
― yung huma (J0rdan S.), Tuesday, 27 September 2011 04:56 (twelve years ago) link
the only dud was the buffalo/costa rica sketch
loved the susan lucci one
who's on top was like the first funny game show they've done in 3 years
top gun screen tests had me rolling
― yung huma (J0rdan S.), Tuesday, 27 September 2011 04:57 (twelve years ago) link
i liked the buffalo/costa rica sketch, but i get a real kick out of really bad puppetry

who's on top was ok, my favorite recent game show sketch was what's my namei laughed a lot watching this episode but looking over the sketches now, i think i must have been pretty drunk.
― mizzell, Tuesday, 27 September 2011 14:05 (twelve years ago) link
"The Comments Section" is a great premise for a sketch. Hope it comes back.
― Johnny Fever, Sunday, 2 October 2011 04:06 (twelve years ago) link
It was great.
― DaTruf (Nicole), Sunday, 2 October 2011 04:08 (twelve years ago) link
First guy..meme guy..there are lots of fun options for that sketch!

Not having seen Bridesmaids (yet), this is my first real exposure to Melissa McCarthy as a no fear-style comedian. Great imo!
― Johnny Fever, Sunday, 2 October 2011 04:37 (twelve years ago) link
that was a good skit
but everything involving her p much boils down to "LOL fat people"
― yung huma (J0rdan S.), Sunday, 2 October 2011 04:37 (twelve years ago) link
taran killam getting tons of burn this year
― yung huma (J0rdan S.), Sunday, 2 October 2011 04:42 (twelve years ago) link
Taran is really fitting in well. They still have no idea what to do with Paul and Jay though.
― Michael F Gill, Sunday, 2 October 2011 05:00 (twelve years ago) link
he could do a great trolololol

otm this ep was unbelievably bad imo
― johnny crunch, Monday, 3 October 2011 23:58 (twelve years ago) link
I thought it was pretty good. Not as good as last week and I thought she was a bit too over the top with the fat physical humor stuff, but I thought there was enough good stuff. The HPV doll was great.
― dan selzer, Tuesday, 4 October 2011 00:40 (twelve years ago) link
the HPV doll was funny
― yung huma (J0rdan S.), Tuesday, 4 October 2011 00:42 (twelve years ago) link
i mean it was sort of dumb and it was pretty much dated by the time it aired, but there's something inherently funny about a doll purposefully stabbing an unsuspecting child w/ a needle
― yung huma (J0rdan S.), Tuesday, 4 October 2011 00:43 (twelve years ago) link
Things like the digital shorts and commercials, are they whipped together in the week before each episode, like the skits? Or do they do these well in advance and just sit on them? I always thought it odd that SNL stuck to this weird "let's put on a show!" mentality, with only a week-long build up, and yet the only surefire bits year in and year out are the pre-recorded ones.
― Josh in Chicago, Tuesday, 4 October 2011 00:47 (twelve years ago) link
Yeah this was really otm and made the episode pretty disappointing. I think she actually has a lot more to offer as a physical comedienne (that office skit was fucking hilarious), but I was pretty bummed out by that ranch dressing skit.
HPV doll was classic.
― jon /via/ chi 2.0, Tuesday, 4 October 2011 13:19 (twelve years ago) link
ranch dressing skit was only good bcz of how she played the character. This is the first time I've seen her ever and now I want to see everything she's ever done.

it was v Jennifer Saunders/Eddy Monsoon imo
the ranch dressing skit was really funny and it would've worked totally outside the context of her weight, but they really ruined it by having her guzzle a whole bottle of dressing
― yung huma (J0rdan S.), Tuesday, 4 October 2011 16:40 (twelve years ago) link
That was the sole moment on the show where I thought they made the "lol fat people" connection. The opening, the monologue, the office sketch, the closing bar sketch...everything else was personality-driven. It was only the Hidden Valley sketch where I think they went all "fatty's gotta eat".
― Johnny Fever, Tuesday, 4 October 2011 16:42 (twelve years ago) link
J0rdan otm, I actually liked the first half of it, with her being all psyched to be a part of the marketing group but I saw where it was going to end up.
― jon /via/ chi 2.0, Tuesday, 4 October 2011 16:43 (twelve years ago) link
i didn't see the snl, but stevie, she's really gifted and funny! one day melissa mccarthy will get to do something where the writers completely resist fat jokes. (no fat jokes about her on the gilmore girls as far as i can remember, but she didn't get the opportunity to be as funny as she can be on that show, either.)
― horseshoe, Tuesday, 4 October 2011 16:44 (twelve years ago) link
I seriously didn't think the ranch dressing joke was about her being fat! It was about her desperation for the 50 bucks, and I quite liked that skit.
― dan selzer, Tuesday, 4 October 2011 16:45 (twelve years ago) link
idk i thought the office sketch was all "LOL the sexuality of a fat person"
― yung huma (J0rdan S.), Tuesday, 4 October 2011 16:45 (twelve years ago) link
That joke wasn't *about* that, but it turned into "lol u fat" when they had her chug the bottle.
