Yeah Sandberg's thing was wtf and just bad. Sandberg in general was just bad.
Gotta admit, though, I liked the dog food commercial.

fake commercials are so in their wheelhouse that it's almost hard to congratulate them

yeah that was the kind of thing that they could've done in '92 and would've been just as funny, no more no less

xp Yeah, and it wasn't even a great one. But I've been torn recently between buying the cat food that I usually get and some cheap awfulness, and I was like, fuck it, it's a cat. She'll either eat it or starve to death, and I know which she's gonna pick.

I liked Ahmadinejad's wife, actually. He farts under the sheets and blames it on Israel. It's such an old joke, but lol.

(I mean, if even SNL writers know that the joke is Obama's snake oil, you may wish to postpone that Republican Party autopsy)
Dollars to donuts it was written by Jim Downey, SNL's long-time political writer and devout right-winger (and Robert Downey, Jr.'s uncle). I don't think his writing a completely in-character sketch exactly sounds the Dems' death knell.

yeah, that sketch is so clearly written from a "right wing" perspective. Keep drinkin' that Kool Aid!

I didn't have my glasses on so I couldn't tell - was that really Madonna? Someone upthread called her sad, I thought it was Wiig in costume? If not, without my glasses, Madonna is looking good..

i had assumed it was either of the two new women on the show but at the end, ryan reynolds thanked madonna

Hader doesn't even have to say anything, the faces he makes as Spector or that weird alien sports guy are priceless.
That really was Madonna! The arms are a dead giveaway. She does look good, but there's something kind of pathetic about the Gaga fight -- at some point you should stop trying to be down with the kids.
― The ever dapper nicolars (Nicole), Monday, 5 October 2009 15:10 (fourteen years ago) link
That was most certainly Madonna. But I'll agree she looked way younger than she usually does. And that whoe Madge/Gaga thing was pretty lame.
Morbs, Downey has the ability, despite his political leanings, to tackle different sides of an issue. He's written a lot of GOP-skewering sketches, as well. If you could just re-read that post of mine real quick, you'll see that I didn't say that the sketch was written from a right-wing persepective. Rather, I'm guessing it was written by right-winger Downey because my understanding is that most political sketches that are critical of the Democrats are written by Downey.
― I HEART CREEPY MENS (Deric W. Haircare), Monday, 5 October 2009 15:11 (fourteen years ago) link
I had no idea that Jim Downey was related to RDJ. Is that how RDJ ended up on Saturday Night Live in the first place?
― The ever dapper nicolars (Nicole), Monday, 5 October 2009 15:13 (fourteen years ago) link
ok
― A Patch on Blazing Saddles (Dr Morbius), Monday, 5 October 2009 15:15 (fourteen years ago) link
...bu then, by current standards, that really doesn't make him sound like a right-winger.
I was at this radio interview, and they mostly talked about Fey's Sarah Palin:

Very possibly, Nicole. I mean, most of the cast that season consisted of semi-famous actors (RDJ, Anthony Michael Hall, Joan Cusack), but that would've been right after Downey returned to SNL, so it was probably a factor.
― I HEART CREEPY MENS (Deric W. Haircare), Monday, 5 October 2009 15:22 (fourteen years ago) link
oh wow, that is kind of sad that it was really Madonna. My boyfriend & I were mesmerized by the "incredible makeup work" they'd done on what we presumed was an SNL actress but I agree, she's a bit too old to do something that ridiculous.. Good for her for looking so good though! I fell asleep on the couch before the ending credits, as I always do..this time I missed weekend update too though :(
