SNL's Continued Downward Spiral Thread

Wow. I found that One Direction song incredibly catchy. Am I the only one?

 

So....apparently yes.

 

Sofia has now been in about 70% of the ads on this show.

 

With the amount of Sofia Vergara ads on during the show, I almost wonder if there wasn't a HUGE financial incentive for SNL to put her on the show. She's in like every third ad.

 

What a pathetic ripoff of "I Want It That Way."

 

I hope the finish to the Master's is damn good tomorrow. Because I just wasted an hour and a half of my life and I want it back.

 

Hello SJ, we're back by popular demand.

 

Of course. A Vergara skit about a Vergara commercial. Art imitating life?

 

Can you say whoring for advertisers? Ugh.

Admittedly haven't seen the Hunger Games, but that entire skit was one giant product placement.

 

OK, I counted six Sofia Vergara commercials during the show. Plus the skit about the commercial. And they had the balls during Weekend Update to make fun of 007 for drinking a Heineken in the new Bond movie. Really, SNL? Really?

(Sorry -- couldn't resist.)

 

The skit wasn't funny, but it certainly was not "one giant product placement". Not any more than any other SNL attempt to spoof contemporary subject matter.

Was the Romney sketch an endorsement of the GOP candidate? Was the Zooey bit product placement for her sitcom? Was the Pantene skit a commercial for that product?

 

Fair enough. Probably oversensitive from having Sofia shoved in my face throughout the show, as uninteresting and obnoxious as each of her skits was throughout.
