So, I'm the furthest thing from a Bruno Mars fan, but I just caught up on last week's ep and I have to give credit where due. His performance of "Uptown Funk" with Mark Ronson was electrifying. SNL musical performances have gotten so bad I usually FFwd thru them. Almost did so with this one until I recognized Mark Ronson and rewound. I think Bruno Mars is a very talented performer, but his original music puts me to sleep. It feels like it's tailor made for pumpkin spice obsessed women with one or two viable eggs left. Nothing wrong with that, just not my thing. But, man, put him together with Ronson and things get much, much better. Everything about this performance is spot on. The band (wow, what a great live band - those horns and that ridiculously funky rhythm section), Mars' scorching vocals, even the lighting was a reflection of what Ronson does best - adding a new sheen to best of funk, disco, r&b and blues. Is he an original? No, but he's damn good at what he does. I want more of THIS from Mars:

Laughed from beginning to end but hardest at Nativity, #GrowAGuy, Leslie Jones, and Brookie and the other ex-porn star selling the Yahkts. And 4 year old mayor was GREAT.

I have to say I have enjoyed all the forays into surrealism recently.

Some funny stuff this week, but the bit about the Eric Garner verdict was marshmallowy and pitiful. Is this the best SNL can do for political humor these days??

Tonkerbell is always a welcome sight. I just hope they don't run out of characters for Bobby if they keep doing Tonkerbell sketches!

I love the Ex Porn Stars. They always put it at the end of the show where Standards and Practices won't screw with it as much.

Leslie Jones is on fire! I adore her. The episode was strong, even Nicki Minaj did a good Kim Kardashian. And yes to Tonker Bell! They nailed the PETER PAN LIVE! parody, and Franco is ideal to play Christopher Walken's Hook, Walken performance reminded me of Franco's turn as an Oscar host.

I giggled all day thinking about the overloaded brain sketch.

I feel like Vanessa is hardly being used at all anymore, which makes me sad.

The tension in the audience during the beginning Weekend Update was palpable.
This one was cut for time

All I want for Christmas is for Keenan to finally leave this show.

Every week, I wonder why I'm strangely attracted to Pete Davidson...

[ArtMan]

Posted: 12/14/14 at 10:41pm

Yeah, why?????

[YouWantitWhen????]

Posted: 12/15/14 at 12:30am

I liked Sumpin Claus as well. One of the stronger Keenan performances that I can recall.

As a lapsed Catholic, that Christmas mass sketch had me howling. I've know versions of pretty much every character.

Waterbeds are the behhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhst.

ArtMan, like I said, I can't explain it, either.

The thing with Kenan is that he is only a performer, not a writer, so if you don't like the sketches he's in, he's sort of not the one to blame... (unless wiki is wrong and he's a writer, too?)
