Jay Pharoah is taking over impersonating Obama from Fred Armisen, which I personally think kinda sucks.

I'm sorry I have to do this, I really do like you and most of your contributions around here. But:

BANLETE

[HotHamWater]

Why can't there be an SNL thread, Chris?

[TallGuyCM]

Why can't there be an SNL thread, Chris?

At this point, why would there be one? To reminisce about the "good ol' years" when it was funny? I really don't care, it's just an odd thread to start now.

Are you suggesting that this thread should have been started in 1975?

[Drinkey McDrinkerstein]

Yeah, i have no issue with there being a thread about a 30+ year old show.

[amyzzz]

Another reason why I have Chris on ignore. I agree that this is a good idea for a thread. Why not, especially in an election year?

[TallGuyCM]

hahaha, I find it funny that the most non-contributing, boring person on this entire board has me on ignore...

[TallGuyCM]

I really don't care...this was one of the more sarcastic banletes, without the usual vitriol behind the ones directed towards SlowMotionApocalypse and folks like that.

[HotHamWater]

Maybe they can bring back Eddie Murphy, Dana Carvey, zombie Phil Hartman, Mike Myers, Bill Murray, etc. Will this thread fit your standards then?

Saturday Night Live - Where Did It All Go Wrong?

Now that's the appropriate thread title

I don't care.

[HotHamWater]

I don't care.

If this thread was created in 2007, but with an acknowledgment that it's not as good as it once was, would it meet your approval?

What if TomAz created the thread?

[TomAz]

John Belushi as Joe Cocker was one of the single funniest things ever created by anyone.

[TomAz]

Tommy is having a day where he is criticizing other people's criticisms of other people.

If ThatGirl created this thread, I would call for her banning.

[TomAz]

Has she ever created anything ever?

[ThatGirl]

Has she ever created anything ever?

Only fury in your heart it would seem.

[HotHamWater]

By the way, if you've ever had any interest in SNL, this is a pretty good read. I think it would even meet TallChris' lofty expectations.

When someone says they don't care, that usually means drop it brah! But you keep pushing, and pushing, and pushing...

If I only pushed twice, would it have been acceptable to you?

Agreed. An excellent book, though I do wish they'd been able to convince Eddie Murphy to participate.

[Boourns]

John Belushi as Joe Cocker was one of the single funniest things ever created by anyone.

Absolutely.

[TomAz]

Also, Dan Ayrkroyd as Julia Child.

My problem is more with IcedKeg's misuse of "it's" and with his inability to understand how getting rid of Fred Armisen's perpetually bad Obama for Jay Pharoah's vastly superior Obama is a good thing.

NEVER FORGET

[GuyInTucson]

SNL is hit and miss... just like it has always been. Nowhere did it ever "go wrong". Seriously, go watch some of the old "classic" episodes. Some gems, some skits that were mildly funny and a bunch of shit.

[TomAz]

Fred Garvin. Male prostitute.
