Saturday Night Live

i loooooooooved that

kenan's was of course the best

btw anyone else seen the trailer for this new movie that sudeikis is starring in w/ owen wilson -- it has a pretty much utterly reprehensible premises, but i'm happy for him nonetheless

idk the 'you thinkin olive garden?' line cracks me up

aw don't tell me I missed another "What's Up With That?"

xp tamtam otm tho yea the premise may as well derive from a bill simmons column

The amusement park ride may be the best skit I've seen in a year or two.

Amusement park ride was lol...almost like a Twilight Zone sketch

Fortune teller was lol for the 'I don't do Brando' payoff

amusement park ride was fucking stellar.

Kristen Wiig's triangle girl on Soul Train was p great

yes it was

She looked like Olivia Newton John

Black Swan reminded me of the old Kids in the Hall skit w kevin as a ballerina...

Hahah yes

This is the second time I saw SNL do a joke about Cameo. Like some dude on the writing staff must think Cameo was like the funniest group or something

Also the black keys drummer is worse than Meg White, what the everliving fuck

i do not like them

tbf Cameo was pretty funny

defending your work online nagl, some dude

Also the black keys drummer is worse than Meg White, what the everliving fuck

Okay, dude, i can 100% see that Black Keys are the type of thing you would hate, but that dude is actually a fantastic drummer. I didn't see the SNL performance, so maybe he just sucked complete ass that night, but calling him worse than Meg White is SO RONG.

Also, is Meg the "worst" drummer comparison point? Hmm, wonder why?

dude is so stiff and wooden. he looks terrified of the drums on every beat. you can see him lunging his body on the "one" so he doesn't fuck up an miss it. I'm not even sure he's holding his sticks right

and what moron brings the floor tom over to the left side to play it like a hi-hat? there's a perefectly good floor tom to your right, and lots of room for that one to go if you wanted to have two and know how to play drums.

Because she's like the drummer with the highest "terrible" to "being incredibly famous" quotient?

While I agree that Meg White is technically a poor drummer, her style is so essential to the sound of The White Stripes that I have a hard time hearing those songs in my head with an imaginary, more proficient drummer.

I agree 100%

Black Keys could def use a good drummer tho. And good songs.

I agree 100% also.

All's well.

haha Whiney i think you and i should collaborate on some kind piece of writing about lousy drummers and why they suck

it seriously is depressing to me how shitty indie rock drummers are in 2010, but that's another thread

start a thread! wd read, imo

go away, gwenyth paltrow

gotta say that eisenberg/minaj is an inspired pairing

Abby sings just about as well as Katy Perry lol

*checks download of cut copy leak*

still three minutes, huh?

lol @ "Heee-brew"

writing jewish parodies of pop songs is literally what i was doing when i was 14 years old

beyer was great in that sketch tho

please make it stop

i'm happy for cee-lo

i guess

Reminded me of that sketch from The State:

"I took #2 from every dumb-dumb in this mickey fickey neighborhood today."

love that sketch

Ocean Billy, Jon Bovi, IT'S NOT FUNNY, SUDEKIS!

Is it just me, or did Cee-Lo have better timing than pretty much everyone in the cast?

Cee-Lo is SHORT.

I thought the opening "civility" skit on Fox wasn't bad

Great episode!

Vanessa Bayer was great in the Bar Mitzvah sketch. Hope they don't turn her into Kristen Wiig 2, though.

I don't think that's possible; Wiig had semi-annoying one-note "characters" (Target Lady, Surprise Lady) right out of the gate, while Bayer just has (the admittedly diminishing returns of) Miley Cyrus, plus what appears to be vast untapped potential.
