SNL's Continued Downward Spiral Thread

Sarah in final two sketches

 

And there's Sarah ... and her little Sarah.

 

They said pussy and snatch tonight. Fifteen-year-old me can't stop giggling, (Nor can 50-year-old me )

 

Pete's episode certainly started out strong, but tailed off a bit (aside from Update). Nothing criminally wrong, though.

Bad Bunny will be a big test next week. Aside from his megastardom in music, he's taken well to the live aspect of WWE in his dabblings there, so I don't think he'll totally be virgin to live TV, but not sure how his comedic chops would be.

 

The only duds were Bowen Yang in space (with you on him, just not a fan), the guy in the sand when Pete's Grandma's farm blew away in a tornado and the last one. Really, really solid season premiere, especially given all that's been going on w/the writer's strike and a first-time host hosting.

 

Pretty classy opening from Pete. Outside of that, I thought it was a general meh.

I read Kelce was in another sketch that got cut. Wonder how that strategy was determined.

 

I spit out my food during that skit. 10 out of 10.

 

Yeah, I should qualify too. Those guys have been doing some of the best stuff on SNL for a while now.

 

I like how the Destroy guys are getting a credit now in the intros. Not even Lonely Island got that.

Don't think they've done that since Smigel's cartoons (Ambiguously Gay Duo, Real Audio, etc.).

Trying to think: are Higgins and Herlihy of Destroy the first significant second-generation contributors to SNL? I guess there were Chris and Abby Elliott, but their tenures (Chris especially) were so brief.

 

Still kind of crazy that Ashlee Simpson’s career was completely derailed by lip syncing when it seems like 75% of the musical acts, including this week’s guest, clearly aren’t even trying to rap/sing.

 

The only act I haven't fast-forwarded through in recent memory was The 1975.

 

Two things ...

Jebidiah Atkinson should get some credit for this. NEXT!

Please Don't Destroy has a movie coming out soon.
