Saturday Night Live

Hmmm

So far better than average, though the bar is awfully low.

Cover songs sketch was pretty ace.

we've all seen rob ford press conferences and he doesn't have that stupid accent so its bs they gave it to him.

his actual antics are way more outrageous than that sketch

Yeah the express yourself gag was pretty awes

Jay pharaoh is pretty great huh

Uh hello
R kelly

Dead from Gaga/Kellz

that was so good

speech critic is a great bit

"mountaintop fish on a hot day"

Yeah, speech writer could become my new favorite recurring Weekend Update character

how many speeches are there for him to do though

Blockbuster Video thing was awesome.

This has been really good

yeah outside of the opener. i liked the acting school one, and this current sketch with aging rockstar is really sharp

So did she fire her manager for putting "Applause" in that car commercial

The Ms. Germanotta sketch made me a little sad.

Yeah, she's far too open about her insecurities about being a has-been.

gaga was great. speech critic had me dying. good ep.

I had no idea what the cup song was until tonight

Let me get this straight. There's 81 million views on a video with an intro that's over a minute long and has the unwieldy, totally fucking ridiculous title "Cups (Pitch Perfect's "When I'm Gone")"

"You have to see this video! It's a great song called "Cups (Pitch Perfect's "When I'm Gone)." What? Yeah that's the title. No, Pitch Perfect was a movie. Yeah, we saw Taken 2 that week. Anyway, you watching it? I know nothing is happening. Ok, just keep watching. Keep watching. Yeah the intro is like a minute. I don't know why."

Repeat 81 million times

tbf it's not like anyone pays you to keep up w/ this garbage

i saw the movie & i didnt even remember that song til i watched the video

kind of an old song guys

IMWOYP pitch perfect / cup song was like a momentous event of 10 months / mightaswellbeyears ago

Wait snl did something with cups

?

Rick Ross doing cups was the funniest thing last night.

Cups thing was hilarious. My cups happy daughter was cracking up, and she didn't even get the joke. Keenan could barely keep a straight face.

Gaga/Kelly A+

Best episode in a long time. Even the hacky skits had great bits (e.g. Kate McKinnon's broccoli baby in the co-op interview sketch... Plus I always get a huge kick out of Pharoah's Kanye)

put the pussy in a sarcophagus

I generally thought it was a pretty bad episode. Weekend Update was the least I've enjoyed it in ages. Gaga was decent, a good performer, not so awkward, but I was really tired of all the meta gaga references/jokes in every skit. I'm surprised everyone here liked this episode that much. I like the Rob Ford/CNN, the Blockbuster video, Vanessa's overacting summer camp actress...

this episode was terrible

seth had one good joke but i forget what it was

Kate McKinnon's broccoli baby in the co-op interview sketch

I love when she just goes absurd.

She's so good. Even her silent kris kardashian was somehow brilliant.

Yeah. Def one of the better shows this season. Don't understand the negative responses.

I think that getting meta with the host is part of the SNL fun. I can see that the weekend update jokes may have been weaker, but I was dying at the failed speech writer and outraged senior guests

And Gaga/Kells both sound immaculate live. So I guess we can stop cutting artists slack for terrible SNL sound

oh yeah, I loved speech writer bit. But too much meta. nonstop meta.

Gagas clothes comment on the ye bit. Her Madonna 'cover'. Her old forgotten starlet sketch.

First two are a bit groany. The last is permissible use of guest IMO.

I didn't think it was much better or worse than any other episode this season, with the exception of Kerry Washington's episode (it reached a level of bad I'm not sure they can surpass). Gaga's good in sketches, though. If she wasn't a musician, she'd probably be at Second City or something.

i loved her Training Day speech in the theater camp sketch

Kate McKinnon's broccoli baby

yea lol'd @ this, also the last rose zone thing was p ok, just all hot garbage reality clips is otm x100

had the weirdest feeling there's a bill simmons email somewhere at the root of that thing

Gaga was decent, a good performer, not so awkward, but I was really tired of all the meta gaga references/jokes in every skit. I'm surprised everyone here liked this episode that much.

Same here. Also the meta stuff was kind of lame, but the mugging for the camera when they did it was just obnoxious.
