Saturday Night Live! #1000
Posted: 10/28/13 at 1:28pmIt was not the best episode of the season so far, but you'd have to watch the entire episodes to know that and not "tune out" with 1/3 of the episode to go. I agree the cameos were great and that Alec Baldwin brought his master comic timing to everything he touched. He's overdue for one of the Mark Twain prizes at this point.

I just have to ask WTF was with the bit where Ed played a queen reviewing Halloween candy?!

I love the commercial parodies. Thought "Autumn Eve: Pumpkin Spice douche" was the first airing of a new classic!
...oh and for the holidays don't forget Christmas Eve: Peppermint douche too!
HA!!! Love it!

I didn't think this was a particularly strong episode…until the last sketch. That sh!t had me ROLLING! It's definitely the funniest of the new season.
Edward Norton seemed totally game for everything they threw at him, which to be far was mostly mediocre.
That is an Adult Ruth!

Posted: 11/2/13 at 11:46pmThat opening skit was AMAZING. Not only was it hilarious, I'm really happy SNL realizes that yeah, they actually have a problem with diversity. And I hope they really do fix it.

Posted: 11/2/13 at 11:47pmReally? I got the vibe that it was a big "yeah there are no black women, we don't give a ****". Just me?

Posted: 11/2/13 at 11:48pmI really thought it read as a funny way of them acknowledging what's been talked about as a real problem this season.

Posted: 11/2/13 at 11:53pmI do think "What Does My Girl Say" was super funny.
Saturday Night Live! #1009
Posted: 11/3/13 at 12:02amI am really surprized at some of the choices they made over what stays and what goes after Dress! I though Cartoon Catchphrases was just so poorly written.

Saturday Night Live! #1014
Posted: 11/3/13 at 12:19amI thought the opening was sort of strange. But, I did love "What Does My Girl Say."

Posted: 11/3/13 at 12:25amUcj, 2, three sometimes 4. Sometimes the sketches just get edited down tremendously and they will lose only one.
Saturday Night Live! #1016
Posted: 11/3/13 at 8:26amI've decided - SNL does two things well: current event commentary and parody. The "What Does My Girl Say" skit absolutely had me cracking up the entire time. That was genuinely funny. The talk show talking about disappointment with Obama but how the guests would still support him was also funny. The opening was funny. Otherwise, the skits felt kind of flat. Stick with current events and parody - that's where the comedy is.

Posted: 11/3/13 at 9:53amThat MTV dating show also had me rolling with laughter.

They used to do really funny sketches. I think their recurring characters outside of Weekend Update used to be better and more interesting. Was the older casts just more daring or the writers were stronger? I don't know which is the answer, if either is.
Snafu, I was confused when you mentioned Cartoon Catchphrases here at first because it hadn't aired yet. Once it came on, I new what you were talking about, and you were right. It was pretty dumb and not funny.

Yeah, I really do miss recurring characters on this show. 
But I'm going through last nights episode again and I really liked it. Watching Kerry as Miss Uganda is cracking me up.

Totally understand about timing and the need for fillers.
Show can run under or fast- understandable.
But this is a NEW episode. Should be new material.
Especially when that meth commercial went viral and had to see it on twitter and FB feeds all week.
It gets old quick.
What I am saying is that they should then create stock commercials or film quick bits or inserts if that is the case- or repeat ones that were not played JUST 2 weeks prior. it comes off as lazy and the general public just says 'again?' I know they are pressed for time all week- but repeating the same commercial so quickly for regular viewers is kinda like ' we already saw this- why ?'
If i can see 20 variations of pistachio commercials, that make me laugh every time- SNL can surely make them too. They are the masters at it. Some of those pistachio commercials that aired last night were actually funnier than some of the SNL skits last night.
i think at 40 years of this- certain things just need spicing up.
Including hiring a black female.
I miss Ellen Cleghorne.

The What Does My Girl Say bit was fantastic. I have watched it a couple of times laughing each time. Kerry was fantastic. I did laugh at the cold open.
I also thought the Shaq and Kenny bit on Weekend Update was funny. (As was Angela Merkel - in an absurdest sort of way)
