thank god they fired Leslie Jones, I'm not sure she ever made it through a show without fucking up her lines

thought she was one of the only funny people on the show last time i caught an ep but ymmv
― Seany's too Dyche to mention (jim in vancouver), Thursday, 12 September 2019 20:46 (four years ago) link
she's fine when she gets her lines right

when i catch old sketches i'm pretty impressed by the ability of the casts to keep a straight face in skits that are ten times as funny as whatever mediocrity the present cast can't stop breaking into laughter over.

Yes
LJ's regular stammering and misreading of cue cards would've gotten p much anyone else fired back then and probably now too

Leslie Jones had an esprit that more than made up for her technical gaffes imo

she is pretty charismatic. I just rewatched Ghostbusters this weekend and it was a lot funnier than I remembered it being.
― Yerac, Thursday, 12 September 2019 21:05 (four years ago) link
also I'm biased towards her bc she old (and a woman, and black...)

Cool, 1/3rd of the new hires fucking sucks. Guess which o... it's the doughy white dude.

Ok, that guy now takes Kyle Mooneys place as my most hated snl member.

ahahahahahahhhahhhahaha
GREAT job, Lorne

I like Leslie Jones but being an ensemble cast member with specific things to do (apart from Being Leslie Jones) is not her strong suit and never was.

i like shane gillis but it's a weird choice getting a guy that spent the past few years making daddy trump is doing a great job irony shit on his podcast and everywhere else to write on snl. first cast member that dips citrus skoal.

so Eddie Murphy will be guest hosting this year, and presumably reviving some characters that are almost 40 years old
suddenly "I'm Gumby, dammit" seems like a masterwork in the current context

they are talking about noodles, and according to urban dictionary it's supposed to be saying noodles with an asian accent or a derogatory term for an asian person. I totally overlooked it because of the chink, MSG, dishonest cuisine and ducks in window commentary.

xp. when was the last time you watched SNL morbs?
― Seany's too Dyche to mention (jim in vancouver), Friday, 13 September 2019 17:50 (four years ago) link
like, most of the show? when Betty White hosted.
i don't have TV now, but whenever i see a sketch online and watch it (maybe twice a year), it's always the worst thing ever. Adam Driver's gay p0rn bit at least gave me a stiffie.

haha! I was about to say I bet you watched the adam driver one.
― Yerac, Friday, 13 September 2019 17:53 (four years ago) link
betty white most recently hosted in 2010, I'm assuming that's not the one you're referring to.
― Seany's too Dyche to mention (jim in vancouver), Friday, 13 September 2019 17:55 (four years ago) link
i mean the show does bite but you have to watch to hate, it's the rules
xp ty yerac, that is...not funny
― weird woman in a bar (La Lechera), Friday, 13 September 2019 17:58 (four years ago) link
yes that was the Betty White one. It had one funny sketch with her and Tina Fey, and the rest was "lol Grandma has sex"
I saw ONE Driver sketch, Yerac. Love has its limits.

that Kristin Stewart Totinos commercial was really great but idk how long ago that was
last SNL sketch that actually made me laugh, anyway

I only remember the episode where he got gout. He just looks like Bobby Hill and has that 13 yr old 'edginess'.
― Yerac, Friday, 13 September 2019 20:25 (four years ago) link
That gout episode really resonated with me and one friend. We refer to it semi-annually.

Please for the love of god - if you hate SNL and think they haven't had a funny sketch in years (but also haven't watched in years!), just stay out of this thread! I'm not going to pretend that they are always funny, but I almost always find a couple of good laughs in every episode. And go back to whatever you think are the "golden" years and try to watch a whole episode. I'm guessing the batting average has always been pretty similar (low, but not zero). For a live weekly show, that's good enough for me and my quickskip button.
