SNL's Continued Downward Spiral Thread

I enjoyed the Weekend Update Joke-Off. With Fallon hosting, I figured Poehler and Fey would make an appearance, and the format made it fun to watch.

 

I can't get by the personality. The guy's been a self-reverential jerkoff his entire adult life.

 

That skit was sneaky good.
Great episode. Only skit I didn't like was the piano playing I don't want to dance I don't want to sing one.
Buble's Duets were great. They did a good job of putting them in order from least funny to funniest, except for Thom Yorke. I thought McCreery was the funniest thing and then they did Kanye and I lost it with "Jesus/I'm so much better than you!"

EDIT: Bonus points for Buble. The man's voice is so good it sounds pretend.
Also, why the hell did SNL bury the Tebow skit? That should have been before Update.

 

I think with the Tebow thing, there was an AP story out a coupel days ago that said they were spoofing Tebow and they stuck it at the end to make people stay through and watch for it.

 

I also feel like they bury sports skits. A really good one with Bob Saget as a track coach back in the 1990s was also buried after Update, IIRC.

 

Thought the first half wasn't great. The Armisen "play", Wiig's Today show and cocktail party just didn't do anything. The Beethoven thing was the funniest to me - the oboe solo, the bad jokes...band intros are ripe for mocking.
The Tebow thing was funny, almost too spot on to generate laughs.

 

Televangelist Pat Roberston slammed the show over a skit mocking Tim Tebow's devotion to Christianity calling it "anti-Christian bigotry.

"If this had been a Muslim country and they had done that, and had Muhammad doing that stuff, you would have found bombs being thrown off!" he ranted on the Christian Broadcasting Network.

I'd rather hear Pat Stevens' opinion on this than Pat Robertson's.

 

Someone please shoot Andy Samberg in this opening and put him out of our misery

 

While I enjoy anything that bashes Santorum, that was weak.

So...yeah

 

All dues respects, but that looks more like a singing waffle.

 

You would be correct.
