Saturday Night Live

otm

Not too happy with Casey & Michaela going, although my guess is that Michaela maybe skewed older instead of younger and Casey never fit in. I feel a bit more upset about Casey because they rarely utilized her being the zany one, she was always playing the straight/bit part in the sketch. She needed to be let loose more, you could totally see how her overacting and overdoing all these pedestrian roles just so she could get noticed (her "backup singer" role in Ras Trent comes to mind).

lol "Ras Trent" just came up on shuffle in my iTunes...never noticed her in the sketch, though.

ras trent = mad underrated

ras trent that cracks me up is when he shuts up when passing the 'real' rastas.

yeah that is def the best part...tho iirc he's passing black ppl, not rastas?

it's inferred, shit still cracks me up.

I found Casey Wilson to be grating and unpleasant in every sketch she was in, but the producers are bunch of douchenozzles if this story is true.

i didn't realize someone named 'Nasim Pedrad' was a white chick

prodouchernozzles

always got the feeling Casey Wilson was not really being given a fair shot, for some reason...

There are plenty of examples of people who were funny before or after SNL but not funny on SNL. Casey could just be another one. I liked her thing on Funny or Die (or whatever) about reading comments about herself on the web.

Apparently Aubrey Plaza auditioned for SNL and did an imitation of Sarah Silverman? Clearly I think differently than Lorne Michaels because I'm pretty sure I would have hired her if she brought this to an audition, but whatever.

hahaha @ the halloween skull line

lol man that's killer

i can understand if mean otm impressions of contemporary comics probably aren't what SNL is looking for, but then i think sudeikis's ricky gervais is one of the funniest things from the past couple seasons.

casey was the cutest cast member by far wtf

Get in line, dude.

Also, Aubrey Plaza is my new favorite person. (gawd I hate Sarah Silverman SO MUCH!)

lmao @ jewgina

isn't that that Jim Breuer guy doing those killworthy JACKPOT pizza commercials? May all cast members meet the same fate.

hey, Darrell Hammond just left the show and is already doing some pretty embarrassing Oreos commercials with Trump

I thought Aubrey Plaza's bit there just sounded like a Sarah Silverman routine.

Keenan is WIN.

Madonna is so sad right now.

I still love Madonna. I don't care.

Also, Gaga just said "shit."

So that's "fuck" in week 1. "Shit" in week 2. What are they going for in week 3?

Cocksweat

did morbius write the opening obama sketch?

Can't get over how straight outta Belle and Sebastian awesome your display name is, Kenan.

That's one of the reasons it's brilliant.

Liked the bit at the end about the crime show where the actors are all Norwegian.

my favorite moment of the show was lady gaga struggling to sit down at the piano bench w/ her stupid nasa costume on.

Much better than last week. I might grow to like these new girls yet, although I'm still bummed about Casey.

did morbius write the opening obama sketch?

What was this like? SNL's usual angle is that of a Giuliani Democrat.

Th joke was that the right wing is going crazy over how Obama's changing the country, when in fact he hasn't even done a single thing he said he was going to do. There was a checklist. I laughed.

Ah... here.

(That Obama impersonation wasn't even trying, though.)

Found it... reasonably OTM sketch. And I didn't laugh once.

(I mean, if even SNL writers know that the joke is Obama's snake oil, you may wish to postpone that Republican Party autopsy)

And I didn't laugh once.

Your new screen name.

man the digital shorts really hit rock bottom this week

think the hardest i laughed all episode was at hader's phil spector

Yeah Sandberg's thing was wtf and just bad. Sandberg in general was just bad.

Gotta admit, though, I liked the dog food commercial.

fake commercials are so in their wheelhouse that it's almost hard to congratulate them

yeah that was the kind of thing that they could've done in '92 and would've been just as funny, no more no less

xp Yeah, and it wasn't even a great one. But I've been torn recently between buying the cat food that I usually get and some cheap awfulness, and I was like, fuck it, it's a cat. She'll either eat it or starve to death, and I know which she's gonna pick.

So you see, I RELATE.

I liked Ahmadinejad's wife, actually. He farts under the sheets and blames it on Israel. It's such an old joke, but lol.

Madonna is so sad right now.

This.
