Saturday Night Live

btw -- it looks like they have every episode up streaming, but they actually don't

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.

Can we take a moment to discuss some of the times in history where SNL did weird meta/self-referential/otherwise highly uncharacteristic stuff?

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

agreed, always appreciate gratuitous sudekis biden shit, too

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

hate deniro getting a funny monologue and kind of stepping all over it

imo opinion he should just do "u talkin to me" in 7 different outfits 2nite

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

^____^ what's up with that ^____^

when will snl ppl realize sudeikis is funny as fuck and give him more 2 do

and also when will they bring the real lindsay buckingham 4 this sketch

You want some cake? Well, I guess we should've gotten some.

i missed the cold open cuz of football but it was actually funny??

Sort of.

It was at least a good idea.

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)

sweet -- sudeikis doing biden is like 3,000 miles better than any of their other political impersonations

i fuck w/ this digital short

I honestly think Robert DeNiro shows up at about 6pm on Friday and just goes with whatever's written.

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

i think deniro stumbled on the perfect way to say "diddy-dirty money"

i still don't get how anyone green lighted "diddy-dirty money"

like, why not just Diddy & Dirty Money

You know what would make this better? Ma$e.

or even "diddy money"

this is making me nostalgic for puff rocking the house with the led godzilla joint

yea that song was not good

Are fake Kardashians still supposed to be funny?

yea that song was not good

alex da kid... fuck that guy

i think fake kardashians is funny tbh

totally

also just into nasim pedrad just walking around with a big fake ass

^ I could buy that.

is this taran killam?

oh it's sandberg isn't it

taran killam had tonight's breakout moment as "unnecessary new announcer guy on what up with that"

is the cameltoe an intentional part of the comedy of this wacky new kristen wiig character or

It's VERY obvious.

okay so this is like target lady crossed w/ "what up with that" -- it looks like i have some dishes to do!!

crossed with don't mess with the zohan!!

those dishes are piling up!

That was a good waste of at least two minutes that could've been filled with whatshisname as Snooki instead.

i'm liking this new J0rdan S. character that's obsessed with doing the dishes, very funny

those dishes appear to be piled to an absurdly comical height
