lol I would love it if Katy Perry hosted and Bruno came out and played his version of "Respect Yourself" twice.

"mornin' miami" was definitely by and far the best of the night, although of course it was the one that came on right after i went to bed, so i just now watched it online

I passed out after Morning Miami so that's good to know
― Bitch Fantastic (DJP), Sunday, 6 October 2013 17:38 (ten years ago) link
it is 'interesting' that Bruce is hosting for the first time just now with nothing to plug, especially since he makes like 3-5 movies a year, they should be able to just wait a few months to catch him on a promotional cycle.

i passed out after seeing that i had typed "by and far"
willis hosted way back in the 80s, was a pretty great host, did one of the first wayne's worlds. always wondered why he hadn't been back, figured he just wasn't interested.

Isn't Red 2 out soon? I saw a preview for it recently.
― Immediate Follower (NA), Sunday, 6 October 2013 18:04 (ten years ago) link
Red 2 came and went three months ago. the next sequel in his queue, Sin City: A Dame To Kill For, is ten months away.

Oh weird I swear I saw a preview for it a month ago.
― Immediate Follower (NA), Sunday, 6 October 2013 18:24 (ten years ago) link
it was originally supposed to come out in october but they pushed it back to april

Red 2 was bad? I didn't even see Red until this year, and liked it, so hearing that is a drag.

first one was fun - sequel is the opposite of fun

the more i think about it, the more irritating it is that they did a pretty decent parody of Miley's video about the gov't shutdown, AND THEN felt the need to do a cold open that shoehorned Miley at the VMAs and the shutdown into the same labored premise.

i loved it but wondered how many ppl watching were loving it. also loved the possibility that somewhere stephen a smith was feeling hurt and neglected.

Before this ep I was just kinda like "eh Miley whatever" and then by the end of it I was like "oh hey I think I rly like this girl a lot"

For a young dumb 20 year old she is a little more intelligent and self aware and willfully self-mocking than most other young dumb 20 year olds!

Weekend Update seemed abnormally hilarious to me tonight. Go figure. McDonald's drive-thru joke was the. best.

A lot of the sketches this season seem shorter than usual. Given that one the most frequent and longstanding criticisms of the show is that sketches drag on too long, beat a joke into the ground, etc., that's not necessarily a bad thing. But some of them also seem underdeveloped and end sort of arbitrarily.
― Geoffrey Schweppes (jaymc), Sunday, 13 October 2013 13:52 (ten years ago) link
I could be wrong about the length, btw. The actual number of sketches seems to be in line with last season, though with 12 (including cold open, monologue, and Weekend Update), last night's episode was at the upper end.
― Geoffrey Schweppes (jaymc), Sunday, 13 October 2013 14:47 (ten years ago) link
You counted?
― smangerz (Whiney G. Weingarten), Sunday, 13 October 2013 14:53 (ten years ago) link
Counted last night's via Hulu; counted the previous 15 episodes via that SNL Transcripts site.

the centaur sketch being really short was its saving grace. in 2002 that thing would've been 15 minutes.
― some dude, Sunday, 13 October 2013 15:37 (ten years ago) link
although i kinda don't wanna see any centaur-themed SNL sketch that doesn't involve Walken and Parnell

what non-celeb impression running characters/sketches do they have at this point from the returning cast? Moynihan's got Drunk Uncle/secondhand news guy and I guess last night was the first time the "i miss my little kitty cat" guy got a new sketch since the first, he and Cecily have the obnoxious McDonald's duo, there's the ex-porn stars...I can't think of anything Kenan's got assuming they won't do 'What Up With That' without Hader/Sudeikis. feel like this could be a nice relatively non-repetitive season as long as they don't run that handful of characters totally into the ground.

kenan's kinda dominating this thing now. mooney's established his little corner already, wouldn't mind if they stopped trying to recreate samberg and let his more adam mckay type shorts just be the digital shorts now (audience reaction to 'boy dance party' suggests no way is lorne gonna stop any look at these silly dances shorts any time soon). him, at&t guy, and noel wells the only new ppl to have made much of an impression on me so far, in the sense of establishing themselves and looking like they're gonna hang around. the sketch w/ the seals and willis as some guy who fantasizes himself as some bruce willis character is the only live sketch i can recall really liking the next day.
