Yeah, totally. Strong and Bayer kill every single time. I could do without the mis-timed entrance bit, mainly because whoever the third person is (usually the guest host) can't do drugged-out deadpan nearly as well as the other two.

That sketch is so good. Bayers creepy smiling is just amazing. Did anyone get what Strong said at the end, where they both say something at the same time? 'Bite to butt' or something.

also it kind of seems silly and point-missy to satirize a show that is already kind of deliberately self-satirical

I liked the sketch ok but thought it could have been done much better. I felt like Tina Fey was just doing a kind of phoned-in amalgam of Borat and those Latvia jokes from reddit. And yeah the person who played Hannah sucked, but the Shoshanna and Marnie were good and I laughed at "I'm so bored of orgies"
― #fomo that's the motto (Hurting 2), Monday, 30 September 2013 15:41 (ten years ago) link
"Do not talk. If they find out you are simple they will drown you in lake."
I guess my enjoyment hinged on Tina likely being a fan of the show. And I agree that the show is self-satirizing. Tina has many "I enjoy this bit of pop culture. Here's the laziest critique of that bit, which I am self aware about, taken to the extreme" jokes in her past.

has the show ever been that meta before? srs question because I don't watch often these days

best meta episode of SNL was the Charles Grodin ep from (I think) season 1?

C'mon guys, let's just be glad someone's bringing back the 80s finally.

It's no secret I'm a Kate McKinnon stan, but I want to see them develop her smoking ER doctor from the cold open into a proper character.

In rehearsal, it was "the shoes that say 'look out, world!'/'I eat ass!'" I don't know what they said live. I liked Tina's "I saw you on House Hunters you picked the wrong house bitch" line. I love that sketch
― flamboyant goon tie included, Tuesday, 1 October 2013 19:39 (ten years ago) link
it was "butt to butt" btw

Fast-forwarding through Arcade Fire on SNL is a beloved yearly tradition for me, like Christmas or juggalo infomercials.

Rich man's Mumford and Sons.

they seem to be a band for people who pride themselves on liking music, so i would think that such people would have an inkling of what it means to like music?
i don't mean this normatively or anything, or maybe i do. they sort of remind me of better than ezra or the verve pipe or something with this deeply emoted corporalternative enactment of 'rock'
― Saul Goodberg (by Musket and Pup Tent) (s.clover), Tuesday, 1 October 2013 20:05 (ten years ago) link
they sort of remind me of a more fun version of Polyphonic Spree

Yeah, but Arcade Fire never made a cameo on Scrubs, thus they lose.

fwiw the PSpree comparison has nothing to do with style of music and everything to do with the number of ppl on stage and how much fun they appear to be having

I'd guess the model is I Zimbra/Remain In Light era Talking Heads, with additional disco dub 12"s.
