Saturday Night Live

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.

would tap that potential am i right

feels really weird to see a 77er say 'tap' instead of 'smash'

Sometimes, a tap is all you need to win the point.

I thought it was a pretty terrible episode, but really liked the Globe Theater sketch.

Anybody remember their skit "Thank you for coming to Loewes, sit back relax, 100 more previews and we've locked the doors"?

pat from the keys is a fantastic drummer.

fffffaarrrrttttt

lol

sorry im just a lowly keys fan.

i thought this one was p funny but i can't remember anything except "dad! all i wanted was a modest luncheon"

and the "my nintendo" bit

I thought it was a pretty terrible episode

To be fair, I was incredibly high.

pat from the keys is a fantastic drummer.

I agree and tried to defend him, but apparently once Whiney speaks the law has been laid down.

espn deportes was great! it's all coming back to me

"dad! all i wanted was a modest luncheon"

Vanessa Bayer is so fucking funny. I have super high hopes for her being hueg famous one day. She's totally in the Larraine Newman mold. And like Jay Pharoah is super talented and I'm finally glad to see him get to do his impressions in actually funny skits (aka, the Fresh Prince outtakes).

lol yeah, that skit was great. I have to admit that Gwenyth really won me over, she wasn't great or particularly funny, but she threw herself into it all and tried her hardest, it was charming.

yeah i feel like they don't know what to do with that guy except shoehorn his jay impression in once a show

xp

Fuck whoever I have to say fuck to for not having the CeeLo performances on Hulu tho

To be fair, I was incredibly high.

Ha, if I'm watching the show on Saturday night (instead of the next day on Hulu), I'm always high. It's become sort of a tradition. (And makes a lot of the sketches more tolerable than they otherwise would be.)
