I had no idea what the cup song was until tonight

Let me get this straight. There's 81 million views on a video with an intro that's over a minute long and has the unwieldy, totally fucking ridiculous title "Cups (Pitch Perfect's "When I'm Gone")"
― imago-er not a show-er (Whiney G. Weingarten), Sunday, 17 November 2013 06:26 (ten years ago) link
"You have to see this video! It's a great song called "Cups (Pitch Perfect's "When I'm Gone)." What? Yeah that's the title. No, Pitch Perfect was a movie. Yeah, we saw Taken 2 that week. Anyway, you watching it? I know nothing is happening. Ok, just keep watching. Keep watching. Yeah the intro is like a minute. I don't know why."
Repeat 81 million times

Rick Ross doing cups was the funniest thing last night.

Cups thing was hilarious. My cups happy daughter was cracking up, and she didn't even get the joke. Keenan could barely keep a straight face.

Gaga/Kelly A+

Best episode in a long time. Even the hacky skits had great bits (e.g. Kate McKinnon's broccoli baby in the co-op interview sketch... Plus I always get a huge kick out of Pharoah's Kanye)

I generally thought it was a pretty bad episode. Weekend Update was the least I've enjoyed it in ages. Gaga was decent, a good performer, not so awkward, but I was really tired of all the meta gaga references/jokes in every skit. I'm surprised everyone here liked this episode that much. I like the Rob Ford/CNN, the Blockbuster video, Vanessa's overacting summer camp actress...

this episode was terrible

seth had one good joke but i forget what it was
Kate McKinnon's broccoli baby in the co-op interview sketch
I love when she just goes absurd.
― Johnny Fever, Sunday, 17 November 2013 23:00 (ten years ago) link
She's so good. Even her silent kris kardashian was somehow brilliant.
― dan selzer, Sunday, 17 November 2013 23:01 (ten years ago) link
Yeah. Def one of the better shows this season. Don't understand the negative responses.
― Statham. Versus. Franco. (Sufjan Grafton), Sunday, 17 November 2013 23:04 (ten years ago) link
I think that getting meta with the host is part of the SNL fun. I can see that the weekend update jokes may have been weaker, but I was dying at the failed speech writer and outraged senior guests
― Statham. Versus. Franco. (Sufjan Grafton), Sunday, 17 November 2013 23:09 (ten years ago) link
And Gaga/Kells both sound immaculate live. So I guess we can stop cutting artists slack for terrible SNL sound
― Statham. Versus. Franco. (Sufjan Grafton), Sunday, 17 November 2013 23:10 (ten years ago) link
oh yeah, I loved speech writer bit. But too much meta. nonstop meta.
― dan selzer, Sunday, 17 November 2013 23:14 (ten years ago) link
Gagas clothes comment on the ye bit. Her Madonna 'cover'. Her old forgotten starlet sketch.
― Statham. Versus. Franco. (Sufjan Grafton), Sunday, 17 November 2013 23:20 (ten years ago) link
First two are a bit groany. The last is permissible use of guest IMO.
I didn't think it was much better or worse than any other episode this season, with the exception of Kerry Washington's episode (it reached a level of bad I'm not sure they can surpass). Gaga's good in sketches, though. If she wasn't a musician, she'd probably be at Second City or something.

i loved her Training Day speech in the theater camp sketch

Same here. Also the meta stuff was kind of lame, but the mugging for the camera when they did it was just obnoxious.

Isn't this literally what Talk Soup has been for like the last half decade?

Baby-body man sketch was so great.
Este Haim's bassface is worse than I thought. I haven't watched much live video of them, and I've seen people mention it, but wow. I still love them, though.

baby body was great. definitely feels like half tonight's show was just The Five New White Guys dumping their youtube/improve troupe repertoire on the table, though.
