Movies and TV The SNL Thread - Page 40

I've been considering doing this for a while, so here goes. A thread to discuss anyone & anything relating to the show.

They keep a pretty tight lid on all images & apparently stay after youtube as well, so those kinds of things might be a 'lil hard to come by, but oh well.

Pretty much everyone here seems to be a fan of it on some level, so it might be kinda fun.

Its as close to Cant Miss Television as there is for me.

New Trump is hilarious and a thousand times better than Baldwin, whose horrible impression has been dragging down the show for years.

I think they hired that guy on the strength of his trump impression, which is actually eerily spot on. he gets the weird analogies and the cadence changes really well

SNL is really bad nowadays but it's good they hired that guy he deserves it

SNL digital shorts (Lonely Island/Timberlake stuff) is about the only thing SNL does/did that's funny.

SNL certainly isn't as funny as it was 20-25yrs ago.

Weekend Update hasn't been funny since Norm.

Woke/cancel culture kills comedy.....absolutely kills it.

Was it ever that good though? Or are we just remembering the best skits? I used to watch the 70s reruns on Nick at Night and the 80s and 90s reruns on Comedy Central and really liked it. But even though those episodes had been cut down there were still a lot of weak sketches. I'm afraid that if I go back and watch the skits that I used to love that they won't hold up.

This however will always make me laugh:

I hate this answer but I'd say - a little bit of all the above.

not an on stage talent but the casts' weed dealer was known as the smell.

It's a pretty well known fact that SNL has always been more misses than hits. You just forget about the bad after a while.

I watched the Michael Che standup on Netflix last night. He gets off to a slow start but gets it rolling pretty good.

He delivers some legit laugh out loud moments and I enjoyed it.

I love the new trump. It doesn't come from a place of pure hatred..it took snl however long, 6 years, to understand how important that is.
