SNL Goofs on Romney, The Internet SuperStar Generation
— Ace

The latter is a better sketch, more true than funny. The first one is very, very mildly funny. Not exactly breaking a lot of new ground on the Hu-mahn joke. Mitt Romney link, or embed below.

Dark and lonely on a summer's night.
Kill my landlord. Kill my landlord.
Watchdog barking. Do he bite?
Kill my landlord. Kill my landlord.
Slip in his window. Break his neck.
Then his house I start to wreck.
Got no reason. What the heck?
Kill my landlord. Kill my landlord.
C-I-L-L my land lord!

28 Oh goody, here come 200 posts about how SNL hasn't been funny since 1976.

Actually hasn't been funny since the original cast left. Belushi made the show. The cast after they all left sucked and the writing wernt downhill as the libtards took over completely.

32 If we only had an actual president who seemed robotic and unemotional.

Suppose he couldn't speak coherently -- and, in fact says very weird things -- except when he's in front of a teleprompter.

Maybe somebody who was compared (favorably, no less) to Mr. Spock.

33 Good lord, that was boring.

Essentially, it's the skit about Dukakis from 1988. Only even less funny, because in that one, there was a death ray or something.

36 The irony of having a skit featuring talentless but self assured dolts performing is apparently lost on the producers.
Maybe Jon Stewart should look at doing a self awareness parody of the SNL staff.

I always suspected that it only got that many laughs because it was on so late. By the time you saw it, you were either drunk or punch-drunk.

(Can he swim?)

Yes. Mostly breaststroke. But he can keep it up for miles.

First, he needs to preen and treat his fur. It's a time consuming ordeal.

There's a gland at the base of his stubby little tail the excretes a black, tar-like substance, that he uses to mat down his fur. It not only cuts down on drag in the water, it also helps him maintain his core body temperature.

The substance is also thought to be used in some of the less studied mating rituals amongst the Ewok.

Will Ferrell is a guilty pleasure for me. I don't know why, but everything he does strikes me as funny (on SNL). Some of his movies are even funny.

George Carlin was truly funny, before he became a bitter old man.

Google Johnathan Winters for some real funny.

Or Red Skelton for humor without vulgarity.

Or Lenny Bruce--if you want to be really disgusted.

55 Or Red Skelton for humor without vulgarity.

I have a box set of old Red Skelton shows complete with the advertisements. Reminds me of days long gone when TV was actually good.

I watch college football, the news, and listen to the satellite music channels. If we had a decent radio station closer than 500 miles I would drop the satellite as a waste of money. And to think I got the mid tier so I could watch Fox news and then they went to shit.

Posted by: Christopher Taylor at January 15, 2012 01:14 PM (r4wIV)

65 The writers are terrible compared to the shows my parents watched. The cast is marginal. When you look at Kristen wiggy and compare her to jane, and tina and amy, she's doesn't come close to being in their league. The show should be put out of its misery and taken off the air.

66 I like being able to "fire" non-funny comedians and their sketches.

Posted by: pbrown at January 15, 2012 01:24 PM (HASDo)

67 I stopped watching SNL a long time ago for two reasons, despite it being somewhat funny still. First, it was on too late, and I needed to get up in the morning. Second, they ran too many ads. The first half hour has some somewhat long content or several bits strung together, but in the last hour you get one short crappy skit with 5 minutes of ads, then another crappy skit, then more commercials... no, I don't think so.

Every so often there's a somewhat funny bunch. Billy Crystal, Eddie Murphy, Phil Hartman, Chris Farley, lots of funny guys were on that show over the years... about 2 decades ago. And yet it keeps going on and on and on. Probably because they have no content to replace it with; sort of why Letterman still has a show. Its a time slot without real content to put there so why not leave the show up? Its pretty cheap to produce and sells a ton of commercial time.

Posted by: Christopher Taylor at January 15, 2012 01:41 PM (r4wIV)

Sure, none of you laughed at Dick in a Box. Nothing funny on SNL. That bailout sketch with George Soros captioned as (owner, Democratic Party)? Not funny. Darrell Hammond as Bill Clinton? Not funny.

I don't get why this is conservative dogma. The show is funny. Bill Hader is one of the best physical comedians on the planet. It's the only live show left on TV. That alone makes it worth watching.

I think the show has sketches that are funny, but as a whole it is not. I don't bother watching it - I just wait for the good stuff to go viral.

C'mon, they had freakin Daniel Radcliffe and that was the best Hogwarts skit they could come up with? Sat through the whole damn show just for that kid. Shame they couldn't put his dry sense of humour to good use.

Posted by: tdpwells at January 15, 2012 01:50 PM (7vA7k)

71 You can watch the 90 minute show from your dvr in maybe 30. Skip the musical guest and the ads, fast forward through the end of a particularly lame sketch and the laughs are reasonably spaced. Even though the liberalness makes me groan - particularly during the news.

78 I don't get why this is conservative dogma. The show is funny.

It is sometimes, sporatically, in a skit once in every few shows. The fact that over 30 years you can think of a handful of actually funny skits is very telling.
