stl_ben Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 it's so funny seeing every generation of fans saying it's not as good as it used to be....or Saturday Night Dead..... But yeah there is good sketches and bad sketches now, just like there was 5,10, 20 or 40 years ago.... Your youthful memory just glosses over the bad and puts the good on pedal-stools..... kyacrash 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subdomestic Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 is Chevy Chase sick? He looked awful/bloated. I was wondering that too. I saw his red carpet interview with Carson Daly and Chevy was pretty incoherent and sweaty. Said it was from rushing through the crowds but I dunno if that's really it.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 Anyone catch Jim Carrey asking about Brian Williams/making Matt Lauer REALLY uncomfortable on the red carpet event? Hilarious. Tina Fey looked like she wanted to just crawl in a hole. Also, Jim Carrey slayed Al Franken, too. Also, when Chapelle was talking to whoever and then that other comedian came running up behind and TOTALLY dissed Chapelle, and you see Dave just STARRING him down afterwards, holy shit that was awesome!

True. But I'm not seeing any SNL skits making news like they used to. It reminds me of Facebook. Fun 6 years ago, For old people and parents now.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 I dont remember that many skits ever making news, and I remember watching SNL in the mid 80's with my parents almost religiously for about a decade. stl_ben 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brock N Roll Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 I haven't seen an episode of the last 2 seasons so I can't speak for them but I don't get all the hate of the last 10-15 years. I must be in the minority but man, I Loved everything Bill Hader, Kristen Wig, and Jason Sudekis related. stl_ben and hippielauryn 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 ^ same also, loosely related, but my roommate aggressively insisted upon muting the tv every single commercial break. it was whatever at first, but 4 1/2 hours later, i was ready to scream.

kgry Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 I dont remember that many skits ever making news. You don't remember when skits were turned into movies and SNL actors were in movies? The last decent movie that came out of SNL was Coneheads and I didn't even like it. Blues Brothers and Wayne's World were the best and that was 35 and 23 years ago.

And all of those movies did horribly....so Lorne stopped making SNL movies and instead started producing good stuff with former SNL actors. Look at the careers of even very recent cast members like Kristen Wig, Fred Armisen, Seth Myers, and Andy Sandberg....all branching out from SNL to other Lorne produced shows/movies/etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The last decent movie that came out of SNL was Coneheads and I didn't even like it. Blues Brothers and Wayne's World were the best and that was 35 and 23 years ago. 11 movies, 22 thumbs down. No skit from this show can sustain a full feature movie anymore. I prefer that. Let the actors go on and find their movie fame outside of sketch comedy. The live aspect of the sketches is what makes them memorable, putting them in film where everything is edited and perfected just loses the magic that is SNL. Just because they cant/dont make movies anymore doesnt mean SNL stinks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 without SNL would we have gotten 30Rock, Parks and Rec, Brooklyn nienine, Portlandia, any Sandler movie, any Ferrell movie, Norm McDonald twitter account, and so on and so on? I dont know, but i'd bet we wouldnt. hippielauryn, kyacrash and stl_ben 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stl_ben Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 Also if we are just judging modern popularity solely based on any (good or bad) SNL movie being made....McGruber was just a few years ago..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hippielauryn Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 Only watched half of this due to other shows being on, but what I saw was hilarious. Celebrity Jeopardy was insanely good, and the ladies on weekend update . Will finish the rest tonight. I've been watching SNL since I was a kid, and still watch all of the new episodes. Sure they have some bad sketches/characters, and it's hard with a lot of new cast members, but they have some really great sketches/characters too. I feel like the writers always get better as the season progresses. The more they do it, the better they become. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrewest Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 I could watch Jason Sudekis dancing along to "What's Up With That?" forever. So funny. Loved Wayne's World giving it to Kanye. The Californians was cringe-worthy except for Bradley Cooper & Betty White. I was hoping for Justin Timberlake in a giant inflatable something though. diabretic 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 i've seen a bunch of snippets. taylor posted a few on instagram. but even as badly as i want to see a full, snl-caliber production of what went on, nothing could possibly compare to being there, among the gods of entertainment, who are all shiiiiitfaced Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpazzyMcGee Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 The Eddie Murphy and Chevy parts were awkward but from watching the snippets on Hulu (minus the Californians), I thought it was great. Made me appreciate all the talent that's shown up all the years. Wayne's World was great. Steve Martin will always kill me, did a great job.
