Sergio's got funnier for me seeing this clip from The Lost Boys:

Sergio reminded me of this, both the man himself and the reactions he inspires:

"there are also some scenes of Bill Pullman looking very natty and East Village in all black and jamming on his tenor sax in front of a packed dance floor (only in a David Lynch movie would people dance ecstatically to abstract jazz)..."

tbh i thought that was the best cold open that they've done in like... a whole year or something -- i enjoyed the 'white house in a mess' & 'jobs' gags

i think i've picked up on this thing where when kristen wiig says her first line in a skit in her exaggerated vocal tone and contorting face, people knowingly laugh because they think it's an old character but then it tails off when they realize it's a totally unrelated character that sounds the same as all her other ones

aw man, this scott brown sketch is good

Jon Hamm is the new Justin Timberlake.

that Kristen Wiig "don't make me sing!" sketch had me on the ground, though
I think being around too many self-satisfied think-they-are-much-better-than-they-really-are vocal divas has left me completely wide open for that type of skit; also I full-on lost it when she was over by the window.

I appreciated the cats on the balcony rail, swaying in time with the music. It seemed like the kind of detail that would never be overlooked by past eras of SNL but is routinely overlooked by the current show. That + the callback sketch at the end + the presence of Jon Hamm make it the best ep of the season by far.
― Johnny Fever, Monday, 1 February 2010 17:38 (fourteen years ago) link
Yes, I was impressed both by how full-on funny pretty much the entire show was and the callback sketch.

The closet organizer thing was fucking amazing
"don't make me sing" was a pretty stock wiig character but the sketch worked because of the timing/tension aspects
― congratulations (n/a), Monday, 1 February 2010 17:54 (fourteen years ago) link
The closet organizer was absolutely hilarious. "Pies.. Pies.... PIES!"

I think Hamm was really interesting too because a lot of the sketches derived humor from him being scary and assertive, which is an aspect of his acting that's used a lot in Mad Men but it was cool to see them use it from a comedic perspective
― congratulations (n/a), Monday, 1 February 2010 17:58 (fourteen years ago) link
that was not phrased well, sorry
his testimonial in the closet organizer sketch was amazing
― PIES! PIES! PIES! PIES! PIES! (HI DERE), Monday, 1 February 2010 17:58 (fourteen years ago) link
basically everyone talks about how handsome and suave he is, and those are the aspects that were exploited in his 30 rock appearances and (iirc) his first SNL hosting stint, but there's also something uh tough and scary about him and it was neat to see them use that this time instead of just talking about how pretty he is (except for the scott brown sketch)
― congratulations (n/a), Monday, 1 February 2010 18:01 (fourteen years ago) link
I was terrified his monologue was going to be terrible but I was totally sold by the second cutaway.
― PIES! PIES! PIES! PIES! PIES! (HI DERE), Monday, 1 February 2010 18:02 (fourteen years ago) link
I preferred Hamm on Def Comedy Jam personally
― congratulations (n/a), Monday, 1 February 2010 18:41 (fourteen years ago) link
yeah that was absolutely the best, just saying that my misgivings were gone by the second cutaway

Even if the rest of the show had been crap (which it wasn't), it would have been redeemed by the presence of Sergio.
