i think you should leave with tim robinson

the frenzied line delivery to order a ton of food was great in that one

i wanna get in on that bet against josefa too, i think we can make some real money on this thing

They're saying I paid her in fast food

For fifty seconds I thought there were monsters on the world.

This would have been plenty funny but was made even better by the order screen perfectly keeping up with every item he said.

hah yeah that was the funniest part for me too

AND that they treated it like a totally normal order

also it was relatively inexpensive for the sheer volume of food ordered, just a perfectly delivered joke

you just know some dork on the net is gonna write an article about how many calories that meal would be

$680!

like dude must have 300 people in his family to eat that much food before it spoils

nearly all of the quantities were a multiple of 55, another bizarre details

Can definitely read 'I used to be a piece of shit!' as about cocaine guys, but to say it's a dominant theme of the show is a reach I think. But who knows. Comedy's all about opinions, Clive.

Was listening to NPR in the car this morning and they had an intelligence expert on (didn't catch his name) to reflect on the impact of Robert Hanssen, spy who just passed away. This guy was narrating what the mindset was in the CIA/FBI as various covert ops were inexplicably foiled and without missing a beat dropped a "We're all looking for the guy who did this"

Could've been a winking ref, or just a coincidence, but my money is on ITYSL phrases seeping permanently into our culture and lexicon

or maybe I just see the world wildly

My gf told me "I have NEVER heard you laugh that hard" (w/r/t FEED EGGS)

one thing I like is that they just cut sketches off instead of trying to resolve these absurd scenarios in the classic SNL style

"Kim Kardashian's head fell off" feels like the end of an improv game where everyone breaks down into laughter because the improviser got into a hole.

Which is why I laughed so hard at it

that's my biggest problem with SNL as exemplified by the "Roundball Rock" sketch which was one of the few Tim Robinson actually managed to get on the show. first few minutes of that are hilarious, then they kinda just beat the joke into the ground and have the characters just destroy the set for whatever reason

idk i still think it's funny to think of john tesh busting up a record company (uh, tv network) office like ice cube or someone

SNL have a lot of time to kill, so the sketches always go on too long. Meanwhile every year Tim gives us a streamlined equivalent that turns out be the length of uh 1 SNL episode

Agree that SNL should air once a year.

the thing of having the sketches just stop like on ITYSL probably isn't possible on a show filmed in front of a live audience like SNL.

Key and Peele is the only sketch show I can think of that was consistently good at ending sketches (as opposed to being good at smoothing over the fact that the sketches don't have endings)

K&P was really good at taking things to their logical conclusion and then finding a way to go even beyond that

I rarely find things really funny, but this show was one of the few that literally made me crack up

Have never done actual crack in my entire life, though, for whatever that's worth

Still need to finish watching the new season. Episode 1 wasn't that great for me

I thought the new season was a big drop-off. Maybe it's just more of the same and some of the novelty has worn off? It def just felt like the same skit over and over again. The details are still brilliant, the performances great, I mean still funny but didn't hit me the same.

just watched Episode 5, two all-time crazy sketches in that one, plus the one with Tim Meadows. always happy to see that guy pop up. idk I've found this season to be pretty consistently great - Season 2 was the one that was more hit-and-miss for me. dunno if it's been remarked in here yet but I love how so many of the actors just look like normal people, since no one really looks like an actor you don't know who's going to fly off the handle

I could do with more Tim-as-the-straight-guy sketches, and maybe fewer office-based ones (they do tend to be the funnier ones but I'm a little tired of office settings.)

Watching the reality show/zipline one a second time is a treat, cos you pick up on the zipline and big splashes being in the background of the intro sequence.

Me too; he's one of those actors whose name I shout when he appears unexpectedly. I saw him at Second City in the late '80s, and you could tell then that he was going places.

the thing of having the sketches just stop like on ITYSL probably isn't possible on a show filmed in front of a live audience like SNL.

Sure it is -- think of how many SNL sketches had awful endings that were met with applause (obviously prompted by the applause sign). In addition to a sketch being funnier with a dead-stop lack of resolution, it would be that much funnier with an audience applauding such a baffling ending.

THAT ISN'T ENOUGH TIME!!!!

He has hair! Cloth is like little hairs!

I'm not in trouble *at all*

Oh my god is that pen on fire!???

What are you doing?

I will need to watch this season again but I second that they reduce the reliance on office- or party-set sketches.

another thing that is getting formulaic is a dude gets super angry and aggro yelling then falls into weepy self pity trying to explain why he was freaking out

and has existential crisis

he pulls on the rope. he wrenches on the rope.

He took everything off the backboard

this show is somewhat formulaic, tim plays variations of the same character in every sketch, and i do not care. a whole season is like 90 minutes long, whatever.
