I don't get your complaint, I mean, how is Arcade Fire suddenly bursting in and joining in NOT a "weird twist at the end"? You saw that coming? I get if you think it was stupid, but I feel like it was totally in line with the Lonely Island stuff.
Loved that kid actress skit, yeah. Also, loved the Unstoppable skit because it made fun of exactly the same things I've been laughing at since I saw the original trailer.

the "unstoppable" sketch was p much the only funny thing in this episode

like i said, it was unexpected, but mildly so. maybe less so if they weren't the musical guest of the episode, but i mean it wasn't outta nowhere WTF crazy or anything. (xpost)

I'm beginning to feel like there's a lot of SNL parodies that I haven't been fully appreciating because I don't have cable and don't otherwise watch much TV. Had no idea, for instance, that Millionaire Matchmaker was a real show.
― jaymc, Monday, 15 November 2010 20:41 (thirteen years ago) link
I have cable and get most of the references and wish they would do FEWER parodies.
― Johnny Fever, Monday, 15 November 2010 20:45 (thirteen years ago) link
Yeah, I had no clue that was a real thing.
Feel like the school kid skit was just an excuse to get ScarJo in a schoolgirl outfit. Hader's facial expressions keep those Hollywood Dish skits from getting as old as they otherwise would.

they really need to knock it off with fake telemundo talk show sketch
― bloc trebek-quois (donna rouge), Monday, 15 November 2010 22:06 (thirteen years ago) link
Oh yeah, I blocked that out completely because it is the worst ever. Also, hate that they even had to shoehorn Wiig into that.

anyone else love the Brokeback Mountain sketch at the end? shit killed me, i think i'm starting to like Vanessa Bayer.
yeah, that one and her character in the millionaire matchmaker sketch were my 'i could love you' moments with her
― bloc trebek-quois (donna rouge), Monday, 15 November 2010 22:08 (thirteen years ago) link
and scarjo kind of sucked all around on this i thought
― bloc trebek-quois (donna rouge), Monday, 15 November 2010 22:09 (thirteen years ago) link
i never have high hopes for scarjo as a host and in comedy movies she's almost always a dud, but generally on SNL i think she does alright
― some dude, Monday, 15 November 2010 22:36 (thirteen years ago) link
Generally but she did kinda suck this time.

Abby's got Rachel Maddow's look and facial things down, but the voice mannerisms seem a little wrong.

on the last two shows, there were NO real "everyone stare at crazy kristin wiig" sketch - of which there's usually multiple in an episode. it's not that she wasn't around, or not even doing repeat bits, but that she was always paired with an equally nutty character so there was more going on than just her beating a bit to death by her lonesome. reakky hope this is a trend they'll continue.

For real. Isn't it time he just started going by Sean Combs for everything? Like, Sean Combs & Dirty Money would sound much better.

tbf, he could've gone there on Mad TV.
Enjoying this episode more than any of the other ones I've seen recently, but that might just be Anne Hathaway.

I've never seen Florence perform live before, so I don't know if she's fallen prey to SNL's notoriously bad soundsystem (monitors anyone?) or if she just has no control over her voice at all...but this is DIRE.

I can't stand her music so I'm not a good judge. It always sounds shit to me.

Production sounded as bad as ever for SNL, but her voice is just not up to par with the album. Seen her perform four or five times and it is always a disappointment. Love that record though.
