brvheart 1,768 Posted February 8, 2009 Share Posted February 8, 2009 I just want to tell everyone to shut up who thinks that the 'new' cast sucks and the show jumped the shark when the 'last' cast left.I have heard this exact same line from seemingly everyone since the 80's. Shut up, you're a moron.Please note, I also heard this in the early 90's about the new cast of Kevin Nealon, Adam Sandler, Dana Carver, Chris Farley, Phil Hartman, etc etc etc....The current cast is HILARIOUS. (minus the stupid black dude from the Disney channel... they really need a Tim Meadows/Tracy Morgan type negroid)Did anyone watch it tonight? awesome!The digital short, making fun of how all rap videos are filmed on a boat (with T-Pain) was awesome. "Never thought I'd be on a boat"... laughter ensues. (This is the uncensored song.)Also, this dude from wedding crashers:was the host tonight and he was very very funny.

brvheart 1,768 Posted February 8, 2009 Author Share Posted February 8, 2009 Dude 1: "How's the online dating going?"Dude 2: - "Good, but you know, it can be a little weird. Everybody exaggerates, you know... Like I went to hook up last week at this hotel. So I check in and there's a knock at the door and it's like this 50 year old black guy."Dude 1: "OH!"Dude 2:- "Yeah, and he's PISSED. He's like, 'Hey, you're not a bodybuilder, you're a liar!'". I was like, "I'm a liar? What about you? You're not a 12 year old boy." Link to post Share on other sites

Zach6668 513 Posted February 9, 2009 Share Posted February 9, 2009 I agree 100% brvheart.I love a lot of the current cast. Link to post Share on other sites
Suited_Up 2 Posted February 9, 2009 Share Posted February 9, 2009 They've been doing a better job recently.... but has anyone noticed they only do like 3 or 4 skits total now?It's just nuts. Last week when Malkovich hosted, they literally did like 3 skits. Filled in time with 2 Digital shorts plus something else pre-taped but I forget what it was. And weekend update was like 20 minutes long. Link to post Share on other sites
Mercury69 3 Posted February 9, 2009 Share Posted February 9, 2009 As long as the music acts stop sucking ass, I'm OK with SNL. I mean, Ashlee Simpson lip synching? That shite band that does that "Shut up and Let me Go" song? Give me a fckn break. Do some cutting edge stuff. get some old school dudes who haven't had a hit in years on the show to kick start their second coming.Anything but tripe... Link to post Share on other sites
Suited_Up 2 Posted February 9, 2009 Share Posted February 9, 2009 I skip the music part anyway. Link to post Share on other sites
king_tanner 84 Posted February 9, 2009 Share Posted February 9, 2009 I like Bill Hader and Kristen Wiig, and thats it.Andy Samberg isn't that great. His digital shorts are good, but I don't like him in the sketches. From the sketches I can remember, the only thing I really liked him in was the Mark Wahlberg talks to animals.

Vandees 0 Posted February 9, 2009 Share Posted February 9, 2009 I've watched SNL for years, ever since high school in the early 90's. This cast is fairly funny, and for the most part this season has been fairly funny. However, Rosario Dawson's and this past week's were kind of disappointing to me. Maybe I'm expecting too much. Yeah, the musical guests get TiVo'd and FF'd. There has been like 2-3 good musical guests the past 3-4 seasons. Its that bad. This past week it was absolutely mindboggling. I thought it was a skit for a second. Link to post Share on other sites

Zach6668 513 Posted February 9, 2009 Share Posted February 9, 2009 Bill Hader = hilarious. amazing voice guy.Andy Samberg = great. digital shorts are awesome, and he's good in other skits.Darrell Hammond = comedic legend.Will Forte = hilarious.Fred Armisen = hilariousI also like Jason Sudeikis a lot. Seth Meyers does a good weekend update, and obv Kirsten Wiig is fantastic.I kinda like Keenan Thompson too, to be honest.The featured players are decent too. The sorta bigger girl has her momemts. Moynihan can be a bit annoying, though. The other girl is so-so.All just my opinions, of course. I think I go a bit easy on them, because I'm not one of those guys who needs a reason to complain about everything. Link to post Share on other sites

king_tanner 84 Posted February 9, 2009 Share Posted February 9, 2009 Darrell Hammond = comedic legend.I like him also, but he is hardly on at all anymore. In the last episode he had like a 15 second spot in one skit.Like I said I like Hader and Wiig. I forgot about Sudekis, I like him too. Everyone else I think can be funny at times, but aren't consistent. Especially Forte and Armisen. But that can sometimes be the writers fault also. I don't like Seth Myers at all.

Zach6668 513 Posted February 10, 2009 Share Posted February 10, 2009 Yeah, I would agree that some of the writing has been sub-par. Link to post Share on other sites
CaneBrain 97 Posted February 10, 2009 Share Posted February 10, 2009 they can always find funny actors but they have not had good writing on this show since the Sandler/Nealon days.Weekend update is almost always funny. Sometimes they have one good skit. Usually they have one good cartoon thing. Its just not what it was.....and that happens. Link to post Share on other sites

Sometimes they have one good skit. Usually they have one good cartoon thing. Its just not what it was.....and that happens.I don't accept this opinion. Watch the old shows. Very very rarely were there more than two great skits. It's the same. Link to post Share on other sites
Vandees 0 Posted February 11, 2009 Share Posted February 11, 2009 Wait, you mean TV on the Radio?(musical taste fail)Don't you love radiohead? I definitely do. If that is the case, Maybe I should give them another shot. The 2-3 minutes I listened actually made my body sore. Link to post Share on other sites
timwakefield 69 Posted February 11, 2009 Share Posted February 11, 2009 Fred Armisen is probably my favorite - he's totally underrated. His Obama is also excellent. Bill Hader and Kristen Wiig are consistently very funny. Andy Samberg and Will Forte usually are also. And I have no hate for Keenan Thompson. The writing though is very up and down. Some weeks the show will be great, and other weeks it will be mediocre or awful. It's certainly a huge step back up from about ten years ago when it was awful every week.

It's not funny. It may be a decent impersonation, and I am not even really conceding that, it's not funny. Now Wig as Pelosi, that is funny.Keenan Thompson is not funny at all.

The 2-3 minutes I listened actually made my body sore.I watched their performance and it was pretty bad, so I apologize for the jab. I've seen them live about 6 times and they've been fantastic every time. They're a really great group. I recommend checking out their albums (try Dear Science and Return to Cookie Mountain) and giving them another chance. Link to post Share on other sites
