Baby boss sketch has been funnier in the past. Some of the timing was off on this one, but when Aidy got cake in the face a second time I lol'ed.

And Mooney's film was probably his best yet.
Yeah, this was probably first week I didn't hate him.
i enjoyed it though i prefer the more absurdist things he does w/ beck bennett than the spot on takes on amateur videos he's done. beck bennett's seems to have established himself the most of the new ppl, other than him and mooney's shorts the main effect of the new ppl has been to make the still pretty damn new ppl seem like old hands. like it doesn't feel like this is only cecily strong's second season. nasim feels like from a totally different era, like the last season david spade was still there, i'm curious what percentage of her appearances this season have been as either a child or kim kardashian.

It feels like Nasim Pedrad has hit a wall.
― Johnny Fever, Monday, 31 March 2014 15:40 (ten years ago) link
well she was gonna be on that mulaney sitcom and then ended up back here and like i think literally all she's had is kardashian appearances and the occasional sketch where she plays a kid.

And Arianna Huffington, but that bit won't work so well without Meyers. Can't imagine Jost riffing with her (or doing it well, at least).

I like Nasim when she does characters but not her impersonations.

I like Nasim but I feel like they blew it when they kept her and dropped Jenny Slate. Who has done some great stuff on Kroll Show lately.

I loved Slate on the finale of Kroll, where she played both Liz and her niece.

loved this episode, y'all are high. or not high enough. Boss baby is best recurring character the new folks have. also I appear to developing some kind of celebrity crush on Cecily Strong.

i like the bad joke bar mitzvah kid, but can't really see movie spinoff from it.
― Philip Nunez, Thursday, 3 April 2014 20:40 (ten years ago) link
don't like that character at all. I probably just find Boss Baby hilarious because I have a baby that age.

Yeah I think Cecily looks great lately. My sister-in-law swears she's pregnant.

otm, Cecily looks amazing. actually the entire female cast really attractive this year (and hella funny) - shame that the writing has been uneven at times, though Kate McKinnon can often make me laugh regardless.
also Colin Jost was so bad on Weekend Update this past week (like even moreso than usual) that he managed to kill the buzz for the entire sketch. I mean Stephen A Smith is a tired gag at this point but the audience wasn't even reacting cos Jost couldn't play off with him. Any good lines Cecily did had were dulled cuz they knew a Colin line was coming next.
― Neanderthal, Thursday, 3 April 2014 22:23 (ten years ago) link
I thought Jost was ok. And the SAS impression is hilarious, i cry laughing every time he does that. It's perfect.
Cecily Strong is hot, dont get me wrong. And the gal they brought on midway through this season is absolutely smoking.

I've only seen him on ESPN maybe 2 or 3 times ever and I still think the bit is hilarious. Pharoah kept mugging at Jost as if to say "Really, dude? I can't get anything out of you?"
― Montgomery Burns' Jazz (Tarfumes The Escape Goat), Friday, 4 April 2014 15:12 (ten years ago) link
I have absolutely no idea who Stephen A Smith actually is and the bit is still funny
― How dare you tarnish the reputation of Turturro's yodel (Shakey Mo Collier), Friday, 4 April 2014 15:46 (ten years ago) link
Ive been unfortunate enough to see Smith a million times and i can tell you that this thing is dead on, and hilarious.

I wonder if the Lonely Island guys cringe when the current cast tries to do a Lonely Island song a'la the Dongs thing. The new cast even structure the songs similarly, use some of the same rap tropes (e.g. the list thing of "9pm - do a thing. 10pm - do another thing"), and deploy celeb guests from music and film - but they really don't have any of the unexpected twists or surreal touches.
― Walter Galt, Tuesday, 8 April 2014 13:51 (ten years ago) link
Dongs was ok, I think the cast sold it well, but it was blatant Lonely Island...especially when they did the counting thing for sure.
Mooney's flirting video however, was A+++
― dan selzer, Tuesday, 8 April 2014 20:16 (ten years ago) link
That's two weeks in a row I've enjoyed a Kyle Mooney thing. I'm still reluctant to say I've turned the corner on him, but I feel okay walking back my contempt a few steps.
― Johnny Fever, Tuesday, 8 April 2014 20:18 (ten years ago) link
I thought the Brooks Whelan butter down the pants story was funny, but I have no idea what it was doing on Weekend Update. That guy's actually a strong comic by all accounts, but he's probably got no business being on SNL.

Bailed after Update. Worst episode of the season so far, except for Strong freaking out in the dog food ad. Rogen's doing his lines like it's a table read.
