reminded me of http://www.videosift.com/video/FEAR-Saturday-Night-Live-1981-Historic-Performance

hahah that hardcore sketch was great...then even got the "slow it down to a half time creepy crawl w/spoken word" thing down pat

also if people don't understand how deeply dope fred armeson is...check this out:

El Vez and Genesis P-Orridge (drinkin' a Summit?)

was the joke of the wedding band sketch that hardcore is old enough to be played by dads now or

Part of me wondered if this sketch was in any way inspired by having Them Crooked Vultures as musical guest.

I laughed like hell at it, partly because of the level of detail, but I really don't think the joke would be lost on people who knew nothing about hardcore.

good heads up by ashton wrt grohl's mic, too. i'd like to see a rehearsal version of this whole thing; maybe the lyrics are more audible.

i second-guessed it later, but totally assumed at first that this was an intentional acknowledgement of faulty mics at live hardcore shows

don't forget grohl was in Scream as a teen!

the one scream song on the american hardcore soundtrack SMOKES

yeah i figured the broken mic was a planned thing

And was appearing in a band with John Paul Jones

between scream, nirvana, tom petty, probot, killing joke and TCV, Dave Grohl is kind of the kevin bacon of rock

The Backbeat Band too

dude grohl IS the kevin bacon of rock, never thought of that before

except he is way better than kevin bacon and doesn't look like an old lesbian

ok maybe not old lesbian, but his usual goatee has a lot to do with that. and it's not like the Foo Fighters are that much better than HBO Original Movies at this point

yeah grohl is way better than bacon, but in terms of the six degrees thing i bet you could totally do that with him

she's not old! he also doesn't look like her. he's just way less gross than kevin bacon and i will defend dave grohl as long as i need to.

aintcha never heard of the bacon brothers? kevin bacon IS the kevin bacon of rock.

loved the Crisis of Conformity sketch, but no one but me seems to remember the Melt-Banana-style band sketch they had 10 yrs ago

Also, Armisen didn't really go all in. Imagine if Farley or Belushi had that role.

i think armisen's look is part of what made it so funny, though. farley or belushi as fat screaming dad yeah ha, but a guy who looks like a totally straight-laced uptight father of the bride type unleashing that was awesome.

i mean, i'm just saying he barely unleashed. Farley and Belushi unleashed more in their Meat Loaf and Joe Cocker bits that Armison as L.A. hardcore punk dad

there isn't a real "energy guy" on SNL right now.

I thought Moynihan was going to be that "energy guy", but not really.

armisen was good and funny and all, i'm just saying i've done fuckin karaokes that have been more animated than that

like shoulda saved that one for when jack black hosted

i get what you're saying but for me it worked bc he wasn't the over the top farce guy.

yeah jack black is really funny

i love jack black

luv energy guys

we should'a got a dog

tehresa otm, it worked just the way it was, i dunno what jello biafra or whoever's like onstage but armisen seemed close enough to that

yeah, watch more punk youtubes, dun

yeah i can't wait to watch something i don't care much about so that it'll make something i already enjoy less enjoyable

<3

loved the Crisis of Conformity sketch, but no one but me seems to remember the Melt-Banana-style band sketch they had 10 yrs ago

i remember this, vaguely. at least i remember something that actually used melt-banana song titles for song titles. freaked me out a little bit.

err, melt-banana song titles for lyrics. i meant.

ok the 'we are the world' open was genuine rofls -- esp pinning the whole climax of the song on fonzworth bentley -- brilliant

yea that was v funny

j lo has done this exact open before as a sketch (i think?) and it was called talk to her former fly girl coworkers

"we have a great show tonight. i'm here."

ugh i feel bad they are doing this sketch

bad FOR THEM

i usually dig the vagina cream jokes tbh

lol @ flaggs of the world

someone should chart the quality of snl episodes vis a vis how long it takes for the host to show up in a sketch playing themselves

yeah first digital short in a while to please meh

flaggy flaggy flaggy flag

Flags of the World bit shouldn't have been funny, but was. Damn you Samberg!
