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.

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!

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

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?

this was kind of awesome. the rest of it was eh.
― 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?
― some dude, Sunday, 30 January 2011 16:31 (thirteen years ago) link
people aren't supposed to do anything. "didn't know there was any doubt that that's all he can do" is just crazy-assumptive.

Zuck appearance in SNL tradition of stunts > comedy
― kind of shrill and very self-righteous (Dr Morbius), Sunday, 30 January 2011 17:54 (thirteen years ago) link
Agreed that it didn't really add anything.
― Pleasant Plains, Sunday, 30 January 2011 17:59 (thirteen years ago) link
Yeah, I didn't see it funny as much as historical and fun.

What was the first instance where they put an SNL cast member in character up against the figure in real life on the same screen?
Schwarzeneggar and Hans & Frans comes close, though they weren't really impersonating him.
― Pleasant Plains, Sunday, 30 January 2011 18:04 (thirteen years ago) link
But anyway, it's gotten old.

In my reality, it was Mifune/Belushi.

My favorite of these was when Al Sharpton was hosting and Kenan came out as Al Sharpton circa 1980s, with the purple tracksuit and full-on James Brown hair, calling his current incarnation a sellout and accusing him of not even being able to dance anymore - then they had a dance-off. It was great. Not on Hulu, sadly.

I always like it when the celebrity shows up. The one where DeNiro and Pesci show up and threaten Jim Breur and whomever with bats was good.
And the more recent Walken family skit was pretty good, especially Amy Poehler.
