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.

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."

I agree 100% brvheart.

I love a lot of the current cast.

[Suited_Up]

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.

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...

[Suited_Up]

I skip the music part anyway.

[king_tanner]

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.

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.

Wait, you mean TV on the Radio?

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 = hilarious

I 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.

the cast is alright. most of them have some funny moments, at least.

the writers, though, are another story. suck suck suck suck suck.

[king_tanner]

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.

The writers are certainly an issue. Tina Fey leaving was a major blow.

[Zach6668]

Yeah, I would agree that some of the writing has been sub-par.

[CaneBrain]

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.

I don't accept this opinion. Watch the old shows. Very very rarely were there more than two great skits. It's the same.

(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.

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.

His Obama is terrible. 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.
