Saturday night live 04/06/08

[JClemy]

So Christopher Walken was on tonight and usually his skits are pure gold. Tonight I thought was a big letdown and then the musical guest was Panic At The Disco. It's like they just wanted to make me sad.

[paulb]

that show has gone quite downhill eh? I havent seen an episode since Arcade Fire played Intervention/Keep the cars running

[MassiveChemicalPunk]

I thought the laser cats digital short was funny.

[JClemy]

Laser Cats tonight? I really enjoy the digital shorts usually. There are a few funny people on there now but it's super hit or miss. Weekend update with Tina Fey used to be soo good. Andy Samberg is great. This is really dissapointing. I'm sad now.

[JustSteve]

laser cats totally reminds me of being a kid and spending the day making movies with friends, except we didn't have all the "cool" special effects. we definitely used stuffed animals, def. used action figures as our stunt doubles, and our wardrobe was pretty much made up of everyday household items.

[rage patton]

I love Laser Cats so god damn much.

[TomAz]

people have been bitching about SNL going downhill since Chevy Chase left.

there are no trends. it's hit or miss.

[TeamCoachellaHellYeah]

wasn't Roger Waters supposed to be a guest on SNL back in Feb?

[bballarl]

Roger Waters probably isn't very funny. I heard David Gilmore is the real comedian.

[fatbastard]

SNL is like the family dog after 16 years or so. Someone needs to be strong and take him/her to the vet to put them to sleep. It's cruel to have them live in pain.

LOL!!!

This SNL cast by far is my least fav.

[garrett222]

you're all lame..it was very funny this week, and the whole season thus far. now that they've dumped lame-o's like horatio sanz they have a real strong group right now. open your eyes and stop judging all day,you might chuckle from a laser cat or two..

[fatbastard]

All right. To be fair, I will watch next week's show and rate each scene from 1 to 10. Let's see how it averages out.

[karecares]

to me any walken skit on snl is gold, the man is funny and frightening all at the same time.

i loved laser cats

[cansei de ser sexme]

the intro with walken asking questions was hilarious.

then, "are you going to be driving tonight?"
"no I'm walken" hahaha

[woogie846]

Christopher Walken was great as usual, Laser Cats was awesome, and personally I thought the suprise party one was hilarious. If only Panic at the Disco wasn't the musical guest...

[bmack86]

I haven't seen any SNLs in about 4 years, because I was really disappointed by most of what they were doing. I watched it last night, and the quality was so much higher than I was used to. I really enjoyed it. This new cast has some great potential.

And, Horatio Sanz is great as a straight man in improv. The guy can be hilarious.

[TomAz]

I am not kidding. You people could have been having this conversation in 1982. People then were complaining that Eddie Murphy, Joe Piscopo, Julia Louise-Dreyfuss, and Mary Gross weren't nearly as funny as Aykroyd/Belushi/etc, and that the show should be taken off the air.

[M Sparks]

Yeah, it's REALLY hit or miss right now. Like, the Tina Fey episode just a month ago was gold start to finish.

I really got a kick out of the Walken Family Reunion though, even though it was stupid. Mainly Amy P as the little Walken girl. "I don't like ghosts...they frighten me." Laser Cats was great even though I usually don't like it. Rest of the show was pretty weak. But next week could be fantastic.

I DVR it and watch it Sunday morning over breakfast. It's not like I'd be doing anything useful at that time. If it's good, awesome. If not...

I accuse JClemy of using this as an excuse for yet another tired, hack PATD slam. The hip kids don't like them, we get it, move on.

[rage patton]

Andy Samberg is going to have a big future after he moves on from SNL. I hope that won't do that for a while though. That guy is funny.

[theburiedlife]

I protest this SNL episode simply for the fact that there was not another installment of "The Continental", which is Walkens' best sketch.

[KungFuJoe]

Samberg is ok, but Bill Hader is the real star out of the current crop. Fred Armisen is pretty good too.

[rage patton]

Fred Armisen, Bill Hader and Amy Poehler always make me laugh as well. Andy Samberg just has a one up on all of them.

Hey that totally wasn't it. To be honest I don't actually really dislike PATD that much. Wouldn't buy anything on them but they performed fairly well. I'm just not hip enough to hate them. Now the Tragically Hip. I am hip enough to hate them. That means I have to turn in my Canadian citizenship.

I've found it's been really hit or miss lately. Some guests are amazing and Walken is just usually funnier. I found the plants with eyes skits made me giggle but it was like they took something kinda funny that seemed like good SNL and then made it MADTv level.

I love Ellen Page and couldn't watch her performance on it. It was bad!

Fred Armisen, Bill Hader and Amy Poehler always make me laugh as well. Andy Samberg just has a one up on all of them.

I also totally agree with this. If anyone saw the Mahmoud_Ahmadinejad Skits. Oh man were they gold. Armisen was amazing!

Good fuckin' call:

[bmack86]

Andy Samberg is supposedly dating Joanna Newsom. Lucky Bastard.

[ShyGuy75]

SNL became unwatchable a long time ago. Mad TV destroys it, and they are on right around the same time.

[breakjaw]

+10 to Tom for what must surely be the only reference to Mary Gross on these boards.
Plus he's absolutely right.
Give it a few years and people will be saying the new guys aren't as good as Darrell Hammond,etc..

[alex97]

Yeah, it's REALLY hit or miss right now. Like, the Tina Fey episode just a month ago was gold start to finish.

Tina Fey IS gold

[londontoronto]

SNL fell off when farrell left, and tracy morgan...and kriss katan......
all those dudes... sadly i dont get to watch it anymore.
