I only saw half the show but thank the good Lrd Alec wasn’t on it, with the worst impression of ANYONE in 100 years, and there wasn’t much trump ripping. Trump ripping was hurting all these shows and they are learning that $ works.
Yeah... about 25 years ago.
Are they running out of 12 year olds that think it is funny?
Idiocracy, the movie, had two funnies in it about pop culture shows like SNL: A show, “Ow! My Balls!”, that was of people getting racked, and the year’s best movie, a two hour movie of a butt that on occasion farted.
Idiocracy wasn’t far off.
SNL is NBC
NBC is Comcast
Comcast is an American enemy
SNL is an American enemy
QED
Snl has been running longer than I have been alive. It was around season four when U was born.
will farrel last of the funny men on SNL
It’s cheap programming. They’re fine.
All going to “get woke comedy”; which is ironically neither “getting woke” not is it “comedy”.
Yup. When they left, millions of us abandoned watching SNL.
Show was funny in different eras until it went stale. Everyone has a different jumping off point. For me Will Ferrell leaving was one point where the show lost its edge. It was supposed to be gross out humor. But it lost its way. Will did a horrible Bush but he was retardedly running like his films.
The 70s episodes were fairly funny. Live comedy is hard to hit out of the park every week.
Meant funny not running.
Not as creative anymore - the 70’s and 80’s were hilarious, but the whole make fun of Trump thing has grown tiresome. SNL’s current crude potty humor is the domain of 4th grade boys.
...and MSNBC!
Will Farrell is as funny as a burn ward.
I wish. Along with Simpsons.
Oh, yeah. From the linked article:
Your cold opens are terrible, cringeworthy pieces of self-satisfied liberal propaganda that are sometimes so bad they seem like parodies of themselves.
It's oft been said that the cruelest form of parody is unconscious self-parody. Overused tropes come under that category very easily.
It's not just playing to the crowd, it's spoon-feeding the audience their own spit-up... It's exactly the kind of smug, smarmy bullshit that makes conservatives angry enough at the Hollywood elite to vote Trump just to stick it to them.
That wasn't the only reason, but yeah, that was one reason. Evidence of both of these points was the #METOO thing, originally directed against Trump and boomeranging so hard their heads are still spinning. Lack of self-awareness means you can't duck because you don't see it coming.
Time for yet another new cast, I think. SNL does regenerate after a bad spell, but not with the present offenders onboard.
The last good cast they had was in the early to mid 90s....Dana Carvey, Adam Sandler, Chris Farley, Phil Hartmann, David Spade, Chris Rock, Rob Schneider. Maybe you didn’t care for this one or that one but all of those regulars had success in other shows and in movies.
Who do they have now who has had success as a comedian or in other comedic roles? *crickets*
They don’t have the talent and their radical Leftist slant has turned a lot of people off.
Interesting. That sounds right.
