Re: Saturday Night Live - Season 32

I just watched the Scarlett Johanssen episode, and only found the marble collums sketch to be the funniest thing.

Re: Saturday Night Live - Season 32

Hence the word "funniest", meaning only one thing.

Am I missing a double meaning for marble collums? I am Sofa King lost.

Hmmmm, the best of '06 - '07? I'm surprised this show was more than 2 minutes long!

^^ Now that's funnier than anything I've seen pn SNL in a LONG time.

Re: Saturday Night Live - Season 32

I found it interesting that the show followed the same pattern as a regular one with lame sketches towards the end. How did Maya Rudolph's national anthem oversing make it into a best of???

Re: Saturday Night Live - Season 32

I was puzzled as to who chose the sketches. There were at least a dozen better sketches than the ones they picked for the Best Of show. The only one that belonged there was the Alec Baldwin one, and they cut out the very end (it ends with them turning on the radio only to hear "Don't Worry Be Happy", but in this version, it just ends with the line, "Bobby McFerrin raped my grandmother").

I don't know how they could ever include a Deephouse Dish sketch in anything labeled, "Best Of". That sketch is consistenly unfunny.

Off the top of my head, here are much funnier sketches than the ones included (not including the Digital Shorts or Funhouses):

Sofa King (LeBeouf)
Either of the Blizzard sketches (Ludacris & Piven)
Law & Order acting class (Gyllenhaal)
Prospector sketch (Matthew Fox)
Most Haunted (Laurie)
Dakota Fanning Show (Barrymore or LeBeouf)
Target sketch (Timberlake)

As far as pre-taped, how could you not include the Peyton Manning United Way one?

Re: Saturday Night Live - Season 32

Were the sketches choosen online? Before the digital short, they mentioned something about "the fans favorite" - I wonder if all the sketches were chosen by the fans? That would explain why there were so many bad sketches.

Re: Saturday Night Live - Season 32

I think audience pick was just for the digital short.

Re: Saturday Night Live - Season 32

How could they not include the Maraka (Dora parody) cartoon, or any TV Funhouse sketch? Those are consistently the best part of the show nowadays. And the Maraka one was dead on for anyone who has had to watch Dora with kids.

And is it just me, or did Weekend Update run about 20 minutes? It seemed to go on forever. I just had the show on in the background so I wasn't paying attention to Amy and Seth's clothes to tell - was it one full WU segment from an episode, or was it a spliced-together "best-of" the season's WU?

And, BTW, that 90 minutes representing the "best of" the last 9 months proves that NBC should just put this show out of its misery and end it.

Re: Saturday Night Live - Season 32

The Weekend Update segment did go on forever, and it was a bunch of clips from different episodes. The big problem with it was that each segment in it (the Anna Nicole judge, "Really? With Seth and Amy") was included in its entirety, which really slowed the pace down.

It hasn't been a great season, but their poor "Best of" selection made it seem even worse. No Dakota Fanning Show was a huge mistake. They should just make a "Best of Digital Shorts" special; it'd be the best thing they'd done in a long, long time.

Re: Saturday Night Live - Season 32

No need to cancel the show entirely -- it might just be time for another house-cleaning. Can pretty much the entire writing staff and cast and start fresh. When they did that 12 years ago, the show found new legs (people like Will Ferrell, Chris Kattan, Cheri Oteri, Molly Shannon, and Darrell Hammond all came on the scene around that time).

So is Saturday Night Live in a direct contest with The Simpsons to see which show is the most un-funny thing on television?

I'm on the west coast and that part wasn't cut for me. I heard him say it.

Re: Saturday Night Live - Season 32

I guess there are those people who don't find Molly Shannon funny (I find most of the characters funny except for the Joyologist character), but I thought it was a good to great episode, with a couple of standout sketches (including the cold opening and the monolog, no mean feat). Plus, a well above average Weekend Update and a hysterical TV Funhouse. The only thing to mar the show was the sketch with Maya Rudolph as the lounge singer. It literally put me to sleep. When I woke up, I had to rewind and then decided to just fast forward through it.

I'm glad they didn't do a Joyolgist sketch.

So am I correct that Molly is only the second female alum to come back and host? Other than Julia Louis-Dreyfuss (twice). Is Sarah Silverman ripe for an appearance next year? I don't think any of the other alumnae have any current projects that would warrant being asked to host.

Also, did anyone catch the special on Sunday?
