So I will watch SNL good or bad. Some sketches people are clearly trying but Fred Armisen, oh Fred Armisen, he is like failure personified. And this worst thing is how confident he clearly is about his stupid shitty sketches. The only thing he's remotely good at is being Prince.
At least the new chick is mega hot. But the rest of the cast is pretty decent. I really dig Bill Hader and Jason Sudeikis.
Share your thoughts on awesomeness or aggravatingness. Also, if anyone says it totally sucks worse then it ever has, that's not true. This past couple years have been much better than 3-5 years ago.

I think Keenan Thompson is under-used. I may be biased because I grew up watching All That and Keenan and Kel, but he has some great characters on SNL.
It's sucked since the early 90's when everybody good either left or died.
The only exception was when Hugh Laurie hosted; he must have had a hand in writing it because it was much funnier than usual and some sketches had an atypical layout.
One-up Lady
MacGruber
Just Kidding Lady
All disagree with you
I concede on MacGruber and nothing else. Just Kidding lady, really? That one-trick pony gets you laughing?
You didn't like Chris Farley and Phil Hartman?!
It's more admiration than laughs.
Well I do like Kristen Wiig, so I won't argue with that point. "Suck" may have been an inaccurate word, but I assumed that tlaking about a comedy show the comedy was the only relevant bit. Next time I'll be sure to specify "Unfunny" for you.
He isn't around a smuch as he used to be, but I still think he is the best impressionist SNL has had.
one-up lady? really?
that bit is such garbage.
took out her barrettes and her hair spilled out like rootbeer
And then Rachel holds it together for skits 2, the intended concept is exposed for the weaksauce it was, and it dies soon after.
Thing is, a lot of SNL skits, there's really no place you can GO with a lot of them besides the original skit. By skit 7 or 8, Mad Libbing previous incarnations is all you've got left.
The Mice and Men sketch was great. Also, as someone mentioned, there was a lot of good material during the Hugh Laurie episode.
Pretty much the only thing I tune in to SNL for is the digital shorts which are pretty funny once in awhile. Definitely tagging him as the next SNL star to go on to making terrible movies.
He has the 36th highest Donkey Kong score to date, he does.
Agreed 1000%. All of her characters are stupid gimicks. Target Lady, Jusk Kidding, Exageration Lady. Whats the fucking point. The only one thats good is her 2 assholes and even that isn't that great.
Also, others have mentioned them already, but Bill Hader and Andy Samberg are the best.
I don't believe any official places upload them in their entirety. NBC used to (don't know about Hulu), but they haven't done that for a while now.

Actually I meant Michaela Watkins.
What I hate most about their recent ones is you're not allowed to laugh by yourself, they have to drive home their 'message' throughout the entire fucking skit. Like the old skit with Murray and I think Steve Martin, where they're looking at the camera and going "What is that thing?". That skit was hilarious and it only had two guys standing in front of a black backdrop.
What I don't understand is SNL is supposed to be the bigtime, the professional championship of sketch comedy if you will, and they bomb so frequently. It's almost amazing, how you could have such a mediocre program based on what should be some of the top sketch performers and comedy writers.
I probably would have gone with Cheney appearing with a roast that turned out to be Bush. Yes, I find cannibalism funny.
According to David Spade, a lot of the 'young' guys were expelled because the suits (all like, 70 year olds) didn't find it "funny" anymore, and hold a lot of sway over the writing. So now it's all safe, boring comedy.
Also, the writers probably sucked before, but you don't have actors that can save bad writing anymore.
Abby has a second job where she gives massages.
With her mouth.
Guess which version was funnier.
I can't get the Space Olympics out of my head!
Such a good short.
Let 'em eat fucking pineapples!
it blows me away that someone so hot can be spawned from someone that ugly
She did a pretty decent Rachel Maddow I thought
