SNL's Continued Downward Spiral Thread

I don't know what it is, but I just love watching Hader crack up as Stefon.

 

And it's the return of the creepy Tunnel of Love animatronics, only in a haunted house. Awesome.

eta: have to say, I was impressed with Bruno Mars as dual threat host/musical guest. He is a really great fit for the Studio 8H setting, and he was pretty darn funny. Not Timberlake-level, but he held his own.

I will say that I understand the impetus behind bringing on Louis CK in two weeks, but I'm betting he'll be a disaster as host.

 

"Fun Size"

 

The Pandora skit was one of the best of the season. I have gained a lot of respect for Bruno Mars. Well done.

 

I like him quite a lot, and he was great tonight.

 

+1. Fantastic on the Pandora skit.

The night I originally became a fan:

 

Whoops, sorry. Meant to respond to Buck's post saying the show should be put down.

 

I thought it was a pretty solid episode from start to finish. Stefon is always entertaining for some reason, even though they've now done it about 500 times, and this was the best debate sketch they've done by far.

 

Love Stefon, but this week's was pretty meh. Used to be he would laugh after reading something truly off the wall. Now he just laughs all the time. Still a good skit, but Hader needs to tone it down a notch.

 

Still like Stefon if I only see him once or twice a year.
I laughed at 'My son and both guys from in the back of the horse costume.
I cracked up at Jewish Dracula, and so did Hader.

I thought the rest of the episode was terrible.

 

Even Pandora?

You're way too hard on this show as a rule.

 

I liked the Pandora sketch...

Even Jimmy Fallon has to watch the Stefon sketches and say, "Good Lord can that guy stop laughing in the middle of a sketch..."

I've read somewhere that Meyers writes all of the Stefon stuff and Hader doesn't usually see it until he's out there on the air. That makes me like it even less...
