Saturday Night Live

actually funny so far

palin sketch was somehow awesome -- thought it was gonna be stale, but it was great

brownie husband was good lemon ish

Justin Bieber is the worst line reader ever.

this was the first time I actually heard him sing and I don't understand how he has a career of any sort

no trolling, this is a good performance

he can't really sing at all but it's kind of a great song & that's a good arrangement

I'll forgive Canada for Celine Dion if they agree to take back Justin Bieber.

I don't hate the song but what a weak lil voice

he's such a ham, good lord

not watching this, but Luda's verse is the only redeemable part of "Baby" iirc

i was surprised that he wasn't there tbh

i find it easy to like bieber

You are a crackhead

why?

I had never heard bieber before but that song was godawful

the music is p good & he's a good performer for a 14 year old -- i like that he's an overeager & un-self aware ham

also i think it's fun to have a teen idol again

fair enough

i knew i could count on u

kristen wiig doing FACES and VOICES is one of my least fav crutches of current snl but i dig aunt linda

pretty much her old target woman with actual jokes

maybe i should turn on the TV instead of watching "Miracles" on YouTube again

fuckin sketch comedy/ how does it work?

looooooool

I'm loving Al Roker as a party dude.

this ballad is horrible

not bad, but suggest ban the choreographer

was wondering if the balding dancer was the choreographer

lol at the greenscreen showing through the nine-inch hooker's shotglass and making it look like a martini

Looooool at Hader giving Bieber the gas face at the show close

I was a bit slow to warm to Nasim, but I think she's been killing it lately. Really enjoyed her in the high school sketch.

Not mentioned at the time, but Jason Sudekis as "The Devil" should totally become a recurring character on Weekend Update, or maybe in sketches of his own.

Something about the hooker sketch reminded me of 70's SNL.

this wd be like Phyllis Diller and Leif Garrett on '70s SNL

(except Tina Fey isnt as funny as Phyll, obv)

Only similarity between Phyllis Diller and Tina Fey is ovaries. They're both funny.

that made no sense unless you are calling their ovaries funny

Are you stoned or something? I'll clarify: Phyllis Diller and Tina Fey, both funny. They're not the same type of comedian, though, so the only categorical link between them is their sex.

i love reading jezebel snl posts

why did she have to slut-shame that white supremacist professional tabloid figure?

that was great. fey almost made justin bieber seem cool, which is a huge accomplishment.

The Jez comments section is turning me into a misogynist.

this was OK. the only sketches that really worked for me was the 9-inch hooker one (which really DID feel like SNL of the late 80s/early 90s, a complete idea that was the right length and not obsessed with one-liners) and her Update monologue

pedo teacher sketch was really creepy, actually

still, the cheesecake bump photos = delicious, and her best look is STILL the Weekend Update desk outfit after all this time

I know I've complained about the cold opens a lot but one thing specifically pissed me off about this one: I hate when the punchline to a joke is displayed as text on the screen (i.e. the census questions in this one) and a character reads it aloud, usually really slowly. I've usually read the punchline and then have to listen to the exact same thing being read out, it's totally clunky and kills the momentum and panders to people who don't read or something?

yeah, and to make matters worse, armisen-as-obama insists on saying no more than 4 words without pausing, it's just rly stilted that way (and some of that material had laff potential imo).

and Susan Gucci as Erica Mane (Whiney G. Weingarten), Wednesday, November 25, 2009

crackers is biters, etc

why did samberg say "dilla dilla" at the beginning of the Roker sketch?

also lol @ whatever record company signed justin beiber for not paying for the fucking hulu reair rights to his jams considering he's like 98% internet phenomenon

why pay for that when it will be on youtube (his medium) for free anyway

justin beiber's an internet-only phenomenon? i dunno about that. my 9-year old daughter's friends are crazy about justin beiber (download the songs; watch the videos; follow his guest appearances on silly nickelodeon shows; and so forth). can't just be internet-based.

i can't stand justin beiber, mind you. just sayin'.

hey J0rdan
