Yeah, Robert Smith made me lol, also Armisen's Randy Newman and Wiig's Dolores:"Don't eat the field... Hor...say...Hor...say....ay....ay..."

Rachel Maddow is Abby Elliott's first recurring character?
>>on the last two shows, there were NO real "everyone stare at crazy kristin wiig" sketch
Yeah, in the past two episodes I felt the loud/crazy/quirky characters were split more evenly between Wiig and Bayer instead of Wiig all the time.

I would actually like to defend the last Penelope sketch, the fact that they added some props this time ("Universe's Greatest-est Chef So..." and the giant vat/ladle) for once at least felt like they were willing to add SOMETHING to the formula so that it's not the exact same sketch every time.

Yeah, the apron was lol.
Hate to say it, but Paul B. on stage tonight seemed a little awkward. I guess b/c the team probably hasn't rehearsed in a while. But it's never a good sign at an improv show when you can see the wheels spinning.

Liked Anne Hathaway's frustrated mockery of Penelope. Plus, every P. sketch has at least one stupid one-up line that makes me laugh. This week it was, "If I clap twice, all the dogs in the world get an extra weiner..."

Can we take a moment to discuss some of the times in history where SNL did weird meta/self-referential/otherwise highly uncharacteristic stuff? Like not just "oh lol here I am walking through the corridors, here's the office!" but like Charles Grodin bumbling his way through sketches.

I mean Louise Lasser's opening monologue was pretty WTF but only if you don't know who Mary Hartman is I guess.

Was also reading something about an episode from the Anthony Michael Hall season with Francis Ford Coppola fucking everything up (but I have no idea how I would find it to watch)
― Stevie D(eux), Saturday, 27 November 2010 21:28 (thirteen years ago) link
This is also maybe not so meta but seems pretty awesomely WTF for SNL:

It was the last show of the season. In one skit, they were doing an Apocalypse Now spoof except Coppola was using real bullets.

Oh Kanye, never change.

HOLY SHIT there is like every episode of every season on Netflix streaming, including that weird run from the early 80's that no one seems to care about.
― Stevie D(eux), Sunday, 28 November 2010 05:51 (thirteen years ago) link
rly? I'd been toying with getting Netflix again, but that might be the clincher.
― Lightning Is For Babies (Johnny Fever), Sunday, 28 November 2010 06:09 (thirteen years ago) link
btw -- it looks like they have every episode up streaming, but they actually don't
― J0rdan S., Sunday, 28 November 2010 06:11 (thirteen years ago) link
it's just like the first four or five seasons and the last few
aw, meh. I've seen those 70s seasons so much I don't even think they're really funny anymore. And I don't care about the last few.

The episode Garry Shandling hosted from like 87 has him "breaking character" in 2 sketches - he turns to the camera and starts talking about the sketch he's currently in. You can see one of those at the end of this:

Problem is, they didn't get music clearances. So not only are there no musical guests, but the Stevie Wonder-hosted episode, for instance, is a scant 24 minutes. The no-clearances thing also means stuff like the sequence where Buckwheat has been shot isn't available, presumably because they didn't get the rights to the "Nightline" theme (which crops up about 50 times in that sketch).

interesting, i didn't realize Stevie Wonder actually hosted an episode -- always assumed the couple famous sketches he was in that they use in clip shows were from when he was a musical guest.

OK, this wikileaks/TMZ thing is the best cold open in ages

yeah they honestly don't use his Biden as much as they could, they could really easily throw him into stuff every other week and i wouldn't complain
― some dude, Sunday, 5 December 2010 04:35 (thirteen years ago) link
hate deniro getting a funny monologue and kind of stepping all over it
― some dude, Sunday, 5 December 2010 04:36 (thirteen years ago) link
imo opinion he should just do "u talkin to me" in 7 different outfits 2nite
― glengarry rick ross: "always be stunting" (m bison), Sunday, 5 December 2010 04:41 (thirteen years ago) link
For some reason "The Pokemon Directive" struck me as hilarious. I should be ashamed, I know.

no u shoulnt, also i lolld at the fuddrucker one

i missed the cold open cuz of football but it was actually funny??
― gimme schefter (J0rdan S.), Sunday, 5 December 2010 04:50 (thirteen years ago) link
Sort of.
It was at least a good idea.
― Johnny Fever, Sunday, 5 December 2010 04:51 (thirteen years ago) link
yes -- no barack armisen or CSPAN shit or anything, an actual clever sketch (xpost it was mostly the concept but i thought the execution was solid)
― some dude, Sunday, 5 December 2010 04:52 (thirteen years ago) link
sweet -- sudeikis doing biden is like 3,000 miles better than any of their other political impersonations

I honestly think Robert DeNiro shows up at about 6pm on Friday and just goes with whatever's written.
― Johnny Fever, Sunday, 5 December 2010 05:01 (thirteen years ago) link
until the ending i thought it was a little lazy -- they're generally pretty good at topping everything off with a good twist or gag at the end (xpost)

loved the ad break bumper of diddy and his mannish sidekicks dancing and staring at the camera
