I think I laughed twice during the cold open: the line about Paul Ryan carrying Wisconsin and the Trump joke. As someone else noted, I guess I was expecting it to be more biting. The whole milk bit seemed weak and reaching. Even McKinnon, who's been brilliant as Ann all season, seemed out of it--but I'd blame the writing there. She wasn't given anything to do.
The Girlfriends sketch was embarrassingly bad. The McD's sketch had a few isolated laughs, but it didn't sustain any momentum.
I clocked out after Weekend Update; apparently, it seems like most of the good stuff happened after that point. Maybe I'll check it out on Hulu later today.
"You travel alone because other people are only there to remind you how much that hook hurts that we all bit down on. Wait for that one day we can bite free and get back out there in space where we belong, sail back over water, over skies, into space, the hook finally out of our mouths and we wander back out there in space spawning to other planets never to return hurrah to earth and we'll look back and can't even see these lives here anymore. Only the taste of blood to remind us we ever existed. The earth is small. We're gone. We're dead. We're safe."
