Maya Rudolph is THE best actress on that show. She is so versatile! She can play just about any ethnicity and her comedic timing is impeccable. She can sing, too! But what else do you expect from the daughter of Minnie Riperton? ("Loving you is easy 'cause you're beautiful...")
the only skit I liked last week was the sking one with paris and maya. it's been a long time since they've produced quality laughs but I still watch because I love Seth, Maya, and Amy.
Debbie Downer: By the way -- [ cracks up ] By the way, it's official -- [ pauses extensively to hold in her laughter; Jimmy Fallon is looking at her. Dratch’s voice breaks as she says the next line]: I can't have children! [Jimmy Fallon covers his face with his hands to keep from laughing]
[ drunken trombone sound effect, as camera zooms in on Debbie’s face, which is distraught with laughter. At this point, everyone at the table is cracking up, except for Fred Armisen, who is just smiling to keep from laughing ]
"Debbie Downer" is one of the most hilarious things I have seen on that show recently. I remember seeing the first "Debbie Downer" skit and absolutely losing my mind. F*cking hilarious. I REALLY lost it during the "I can't have children" line... oh, my God... Memories!
I loved the original cast, I loved the cast in the early 90s with Adam Sandler and Chris Farley, and I loved the cast in the late 90s with Will Feral, Cheri Oteri, Molly Shannon and Ana Gasteyer. Once they left, it just went downhill
Debbie Downer was the funniest thing I've seen on SNL in a few years... the writing's gone downhill, which is a shame because they've got a lot of talent to work with!
Debbie Downer: Oh.. hey.. hey, Pluto, hi. Boy.. it must be fun to work here.. although, the biggest drawback to working in a theme park is that you must live in constant fear of deadly terrorist attacks.
[ the jovial Pluto stops being so jovial, its tongue hanging out rather sad and pitiful in light of Debbie's statement ]
[ sound effect, as camera zooms in on Debbie's comic distraught face, which begins to crack up under Rachel Dratch's crumbling willpower ]
Does anyone remember the "get off the shed!" skit with Will Ferrell. I think it was his first one. I don't think they put it on the "best of" but it was hilarious.
I can't figure it out. Is Maya Rudolph pregnant or not? There were a few consecutive episodes where she seemed to have a bit of abelly, but now she looks skinny.
