Saturday Night Live

The Assange stuff has been inspired, I hate to say.

this skit is so funny

I wish I could go back 4 minutes in time and decide not to watch McCartney play. Ouch.

holy shit McCartney has me rolling

who were those dudes playing with him?

maybe he bought a bar band and they live behind his house.

it's okay guys, stefon is here!

TAYLOR NEGRON!

omg human parking cone

puppets doing karate had me rollin

when is the stefon movie going into production

not soon enuf

damn, that was the first sudeikis appearance tonight wasn't it?

wtf i just watched three middle aged lesbians and two bald dudes play "band on the run"

hah

Sounded slightly better than Jet, but not by a lot.

yeah it sounded terrible
whoever cuts that blonde guy's hair should really think seriously about what s/he's done

Sudeikis is too funny for this show.

no no no no no no no no no no

from far away it did look like the indigo girls were on t.v.

Okay, McCartney doing Lennon's "Give Peace a Chance" was a nice twist, but "A Day in the Life" sounded absolutely awful.

Not to sound like a cynic, but that is the one solo Lennon song Paul gets royalties for.

TAYLOR NEGRON!

Stefon always kills me, but this is where I started LOLing.

who were those dudes playing with him?

They've been his recording/touring band for like ten years now. They're all seasoned session dudes, drummer is the son of some well-used studio bassist, keyboard player has played with everyone in the world, etc.

Also, I believe blonde guitar dude was cloned from the sweat on one of Steven Tyler's scarves.

yeah his facelifted guitar player is terrible

been a while since I've seen anyone get three musical spots on the show, but it's been a while since I've watched a full SNL. I am one who thinks the only times the show has been completely funny were the eddie murphy years/the crystal short eberson years and the early dana carvey years and everything since has been really spotty, but I thought this episode was pretty good, better than others I've watched (I think this is the first one this season i've watched though). the cast seems better.

also I thought mccartney sounded alright, I mean he is 100 years old and this was pretty raw, I'm sure some sweetening goes on during his stadium shows.

he'd been better off doing just christmas songs

Shut your fugging mouth if your wish really is to hear more "Wonderfcul Christmastime" on network television.

xps He actually got FOUR, which I think is the first time that's ever happened. Both U2 and Phoenix have gotten three performances in the last decade.

So did Coldplay (three I mean).

STUMBLIN

haha.

was that joanna newsom singing the stumblin song?

Pretty dire episode imo. 'They all kiss and lick each other for 7 minutes' is NOT writing. Can't believe this is a recurring thing. This week actually made me long for a Kristen Wiig sketch. Wonder if she was sick or something.

McCartney, and especially the band he "bought" (lol Scott) sounded pretty bad.

I don't find Stefon nearly as funny as y'all do (or as Hader finds himself, apparently.)

Uh, Wiig was the mom in the Vogelchek sketch. But yeah, those are pretty tiresome at this point. Stefon is fantastic, fuiud.

Pretty tired fo the kissing bit, but it seems like thats become a Paul Rudd recurring thing.

What I did love to my surprise was the game show, since I usually despite the game show as an SNL skit frame. This one however was extremely funny. Kenan was great.

I also liked the cat food ad. It was subtle and simple.

the cabaret thing was dire

the endless announcements before the christmas pageant sketch was extra shitty too

the sex advice show with the bigot host could have been ok but was not. is that a recurring bit?

so weird how it was a bad episode but i kinda remember it fondly two days later? the cat food thing was hilarious

The sex-advice show is a recurring bit, but it was not changed significantly -- or at all -- from the first time they tried it.

Yeah, pretty much all of the recurring skits this week were awful. There attempt at "look, Jay Pharoah can do original characters that aren't impressions too!" failed horribly.

"Their"

Fred Armisen's Obama is so dire and unfunny.

the cabaret thing was dire

WAHT That was a tour de force for Sudeikis!

dunno if my broadcast was different, but the first second or two got cut off and you couldn't tell if rudd was a character who was trying out for something, or, later it turned out he was supposed to be paul rudd. sudeikis is funny always but it didn't make sense as a situation

yeah, i was excited to see Jay not do an impression, but thought the whole skit fell flat. Kenan killed it though.

The cabaret thing is a recurring skit, usually the guest is doing a PSA and Sudeikas is rocking the boom mic like an asshole. I liked this twist.

Someone told me that Kenan Thompson isn't FB friends with Kel Mitchell, which is just really discouraging and sad and says a lot about fickle human nature imo.

I imagined they'd still be best buds, writing on each other's wall all the time and sharing jokes, but no.

There was some media forum where someone asked Kenan if there's a K&K reunion in the works, and he simply said "No. Next question?"

You all are some dour motherfuckers, a lot of this was really funny.

Rudd's monologue with the Paul confusion
Hader's titgrabs in the Vogelchek sketch
Seth and Paul narrating the picture of Charles & Camilla
STEFON
"What's My Name?"
the cat food commercial
STUMBLIN'
Paul Rudd trying to do Cabaret
Paul McCartney trying to sing
Kenan in the school Christmas party sketch
Jay's thing about the pony fucking the car in the Christmas party sketch

There was some media forum where someone asked Kenan if there's a K&K reunion in the works, and he simply said NO... LEAVE ME BE... JUST LEAVE ME ALONE... GETOUTTAHERE
