UGH awful episode. Awful awful awful. That's my critique--I actually found the Liza sorta amusing.

#153

I hated Jonah the first time around (actually thought he was one of the worst hosts in SNL history).
so i didn't care for him coming back but DVR'd last night as a hardcore SNL fan.

one of the 2nd worst host jobs.

god, why can't Jonah make any eye contact with any of his cast mates?
It disconnects him from the team players and makes him look so awkward and unnatural. He is just a mess.

I'm tired of SNL putting in these 'hey look, I'm funny' guys in there---
stefon saved the night. Kristin Wiig was so great when she first came on the show.
She's becoming 'Sally one-note'

Hey Liza Minelli was also the lady from password and the Target lady.
Redundant.

Could the people who hated the episode please let me know if they were doing something else at the same time as watching the show? Because I laughed at EVERY SINGLE THING. Hard. From Rush Limbaugh's sponsors abandoning shop to the film about Jonah's post-Oscar attitude ("Oh, my god, do you ever get that feeling that you were nominated for an Academy Award? Of course you don't." "Actually I do. I was nominated for co-writing the best original screenplay." "Isn't that cute?") to that twisted Coolio sketch at the end and everything in between. The six year old at Benihana: very effin hilarious. The news: mostly great. The Shins: bubbly as ever. Stefon: More genius than he's ever been.

My favorite bit was that Jonah post Oscar film.

"Are his glasses getting smaller? Are his scarves getting bigger?"

....but the world goes 'round

I was doing something else while watching--drinking. But it didn't help. I admit Namo that I really dislike,m and am even creeped out by Jonah (someone mentioned the awful lack of eye contact), and so that played a big part. I did think Weekend Update was fairly strong.

I always laugh at J-Pop America Fun Time Now. Every time.

I didn't think that Saturday's episode was good. Hopefully, Sofia Vergara wil do a great job next month. Here are some deleted scenes from the "Real Housewives of Disney" sketch from a few weeks ago.

The low point was the talking gorilla rape skit. I could see it being funny in a shock way if it had been about 30 seconds, but it was just unbearable on so many levels--how did it make the final show? Was it just to make me appreciate the awful prison rape Scared Straight sketches, and miss them after they reached an all time low with Lindsay Lohan's episode??

I admit I do find J-Pop America Fun Time Now funny almost despite myself--they remind me of some of the students I knew when I briefly belonged to an anime club as a teen... Sigh.

Thanks for the Real Disney Housewives deleted scenes. By far the highlight of the past few weeks...

Taran seems to be being groomed to be the next big breakout star from the show. He deserves it. He is really quite talented.

Sorry, I thought the talking gorilla sketch was effing hilarious, and the fact that the story kept getting more detailed was even funnier. I love a host who isn't afraid to completely humiliate himself for a laugh.

It also brought back happy memories of Corine's Prymate thread.

Ha,w ell the thread WAS hilarious. People obviously find different things funny, though most people I know and blogs who did liek the episode found it excruciating. (So in other words I'm saying you're wrong for finding it funny :P )

I thought Kristen Wiig retired the Gilly character last year, but I guess they decided to bring her back. I guess this means that Penelope will eventually return as well. They are doing a good job of using Sofia Vergara.

I was surprised about Gilly too! I have always thought that Sofia looks like Fran Drescher. Apparently the writers do too. I still want to see Charo play her mother on Modern Family. That would be so much fun! snafu- Is Sofia nice in person? Was that your feminine product outfit in the Gilly sketch?

They're probably bringing stuff back one last time because Kristen, Jason Sudeikis, and Andy Samburg are leaving at the end of this season.

^ Last time I checked on an article on Yahoo and they said nothing is official until the end of the season, but I think it does seem likely that they will be leaving.

^ Marianne- that's what I was thinking too! I was so disappointed in the Andy Cohen Watch What Happens Now. Taran just didn't pull that one off and that's too bad as there's so much potential to make fun of Andy! Oh- and I thought One Direction was pretty funny in the Spanish sketch. I do like it when the musical guests take part in the sketches.

That Pantene skit was one of the funniest things I've ever seen.

#173

After last night,

I think i'm giving up on SNL.
Sofia was great and held her own. But these skits and the writing has gone downhill now. I have been watching SNL since the early 80's and truthfully have never missed an episode.

But the retreads and repetition shows a lack of writing and it seems there are no ideas left.

That Pantene skit was a retread of the 2nd skit in the start of the show with the newscasters. A director takes a million takes to get it right. There wasn't much of a difference in both skits except one was a commercial for the news station and Fred Arm would get it wrong---and for the Pantene- the same thing.
Gilly...back again? seriously? hasn't that been exhausted to the nubbin?

These skits elicit a chuckle here and there- but not worth watching when we saw umpteenth versions of them in the prior episodes.

Have these writers given up?

Even quirky girl was blah. It's cute the first time around--but it overstays its welcome.

even the opening Mitt Romney segment has been done SO MANY TIMES with different candidates over the years.

the show lacks originality. it's on a huge downward slope.
WIth Kristen, Jason and ANdy leaving---------
it's gonna really be joyless to watch.

Since Romeny is going to get the Republican nomination I'm guessing that next season, Sudeikis will only appear in the Cold Openings like Tina Fey did 2008 when she impersonated Sarah Palin.

I thought it was a great episode. I'm glad to hear that taboo won't be posting in this thread anymore, though.
