I have super high hopes for her being hueg famous one day. She's totally in the Larraine Newman mold.
That is not an auspicious precedent.

Vanessa Bayer is so fucking funny. I have super high hopes for her being hueg famous one day
I think they've done a pretty good job of finding a place for her. Pharaoh has gotten the most attention, but I think she's probably been in more sketches than any of the other newbies.

Is there a thread for how awful THE CAPE is?
― Indolence Mission (DJP), Wednesday, 19 January 2011 18:36 (thirteen years ago) link
nope.
― Moonlight Graham (chrisv2010), Wednesday, 19 January 2011 18:36 (thirteen years ago) link
please start one.
I just want to note (too late now) that I made a similar "THE SCARF!!" joke to my wife months ago when I saw the first commercial for The Cape. As someone who followed Heroes until the bitter end, that show should theoretically appeal to me - but it looks like fucking garbage.

THE CAPE - why am I watching this terrible, terrible show

Oh can i mention, the best SNL performance of the last few weeks was Jason Sudekis tickled pink in the sketch where Jim Carrey was the psychic celeb impersonator. I was dying

Also, his Thicke was good!

I also kind of liked ultra-serious Seth Meyers on weekend update even though the humor in it didn't always work. It was nice seeing him have a sort of Jon Stewart moment.
yeah...I know I said I hated this one, most of it I found really bad, but Globe sketch was awesome, spanish ESPN was great and while I was annoyed at the Fresh Prince skit because as mentioned I'd like to see him do more then just impressions all the time, it was way better then I woulda hoped. Seth's monologue about the founding fathers was fantastic.

have a bad feeling about Eisenberg
― Gukbe, Sunday, 30 January 2011 03:02 (thirteen years ago) link
Yeah, same here.
― Johnny Fever, Sunday, 30 January 2011 03:05 (thirteen years ago) link
i'll give him the benefit of the doubt that he's just always cast in deadpan straight man roles and that he'll at least try to prove he can do something else tonight
― some dude, Sunday, 30 January 2011 03:06 (thirteen years ago) link
didn't know there was any doubt that that's all he can do. he'll probably OD on his medication or have an anxiety attack mid-show.
I say this as a guy who really, really likes him btw.
― Gukbe, Sunday, 30 January 2011 03:08 (thirteen years ago) link
i'm not saying he's not one-note, just that i'm less sure of that being entirely because of his own limitations than i am with say Cera
― some dude, Sunday, 30 January 2011 03:40 (thirteen years ago) link
fair enough. either way he's about the last person I'd expect to fit in with the style of SNL. interested to see it, though.
― Gukbe, Sunday, 30 January 2011 03:51 (thirteen years ago) link
This is pretty funny so far!
― Indolence Mission (DJP), Sunday, 30 January 2011 04:54 (thirteen years ago) link
yeah this has been a really good episode so far
zuckerberg's cameo was genuinely awkward + cute + endearing!
― J0rdan S., Sunday, 30 January 2011 04:56 (thirteen years ago) link
Better than most of what I've seen recently. Was worried about Eisenberg but should have known the writing is the biggest danger.
― Gukbe, Sunday, 30 January 2011 04:57 (thirteen years ago) link
is it just my feed or has eisenberg been bleeped three separate times already?

was kinda holding out hope for "roman's revenge" -- maybe second song
i don't even know which song this is
― J0rdan S., Sunday, 30 January 2011 05:11 (thirteen years ago) link
she'll probably do "moment 4 life" tho
imo she should do "roman's revenge" & get around the problem of no emimem by doing her "monster" verse
― J0rdan S., Sunday, 30 January 2011 05:13 (thirteen years ago) link
Ha I was just saying "bet she's not doing 'Roman's Revenge..."

love jay pharaoh doin his bootsy voice in a nonbootsy role
― Temple Grindin (m bison), Sunday, 30 January 2011 05:50 (thirteen years ago) link
When I hear a bootsy voice now in a non-bootsy role, I assign it to the Michael Steele puppet on The Daily Show.

Blackenstein skit was A+++
Pretty good episode. Eisenberg was good.

Yeah, he was. Consider me surprised.

didn't know there was any doubt that that's all he can do.
You do know Eisenberg was a stage actor previously, Mr Casting Director?

― tehresa, Sunday, 30 January 2011 16:20 (thirteen years ago) link
are people supposed to a) have seen the pre-fame plays a movie star was in, b) know what kind or roles he did onstage or c) simply respect that he has 'stage actor' experience and that he thus should not be underestimated?
