Movies and TV The SNL Thread - Page 10

**Easy 6** · 05-12-2007, 08:51 PM

I've been considering doing this for a while, so here goes. A thread to discuss anyone & anything relating to the show.

They keep a pretty tight lid on all images & apparently stay after youtube as well, so those kinds of things might be a 'lil hard to come by, but oh well.

Pretty much everyone here seems to be a fan of it on some level, so it might be kinda fun.

Its as close to Cant Miss Television as there is for me.

I was just thinking the Waynes World, Austin Powers and Shrek. But I forgot Eddie Murphy was also in Shrek plus a ton other successful movies and stand up. It has to be Eddie Murphy hands down.

That was the era, from like 1986 to 1994 when I wouldn't miss a moment.

Yea, that would be my favorite era.

An underrated guy that started in that era was Tim Meadows. He was actually one of the longest running guys on the show. Something like 9 or 10 years.

I watched an episode a few nights ago, because I want so much to like SNL. It was the Charles Barkley one. The ONLY times I laughed were at the MacGruber sketches. Apparently they're making a movie from that so I guess they're ready to beat that into the ground.

This show was last really funny a few years after Will Ferrell joined. It got bad with him on it later, but at least he kept it afloat. Since he left, it has been adrift in a sea of lame. The weird part is, it is one of the most talented casts they've had in a while. The writing just sucks. Every sketch is one note and that note is, at best, mildly amusing.

Hey! Conan's out of work! Maybe he can go back to writing for the show and save it from itself!!!

For those of you unfamilar, it looks like the 'Draft Betty' campaign is 'this close' to a reality. Better, bringing an all-star girly cast [Molly Shannon, Tina Fey] to help her shoulder the burden of a 90 minute live show.

Jessie J. straight killed it.

It's like Katie Perry and Die Antwoord had a baby.

Party in the USA, really? if theres an award for lameass song titles, this is the clear winner for 2011. She's about to find herself irrelevant... too crazy for the kiddies & too unsophisticated for adults.

But last nights episode was one of the best i've watched in a long time, 'Kings of Catchphrase Comedy' had me in absolute tears, especially the airhorn guy.

I posted that, not about Miley, but referencing the fact that Jessie J. wrote it for her. She's writing for Britney too.

I had no idea who Jesse J was until last night, but i definitely came away impressed with her skill & formidable stage presence. Still, Party in the USA is weak IMO.

I'm starting to think that, when it comes to music, GB still has it all over the rest of us. Started with the Beatles, Who, Zep and Stones. Went quiet for a while, or at least competed on an even playing field. They never did get an epic contribution in LA Metal or Seattle sound. Then I noticed that I liked the modern pop of the likes of Pulp [though The Strokes and The Killers acquit themselves well there] more than most genres. But man, the women are killing it, Winehouse kicked it off but didn't really capitalize, but Duffy, Adele, Sharlene Spiteri, Lilly Allen.
