Well this week was the exact opposite as last week – I hated the episode while the critics and few friends that still watch the show liked it. I personally found the entire show to have little to no energy to it but I’ve been wrong before believe it or not. Even a fully functioning watch will someday get stolen as they say.
Listen: RSS feeds don’t want you to know this write-up embeds video of all of the sketches.
Gabourney as a depressing woman Oscar nominated style Great
Alarm Clocks Beep Beep
Hamilton is trying super hard not to be a racist. But the Larry Bird theater sounds like a good place to watch IFC films.
Look, Precious lost to The Hurt Locker so it’s only good in comparison good
Gabby’s monologue had Sidibe claiming that people confuse her with the character Precious. I liked it just for the ladies’ outfits to be honest. Also Sidibe yelling “I’m fifty!” at the end of the song was cute. Rare to see a corpulent black woman make a Molly Shannon reference. It’s rare for me anyway. Since this involved anything remotely musical Hulu and NBC.com wouldn’t stream it online.
“My daddy used to sell Wikipedias, that’s why we was always so poor” saved this from being a total dud.
Digital Update: Cherry Battle. Not good or bad, just there.
They did this Danish actors getting American pop culture wrong thing before, and better. Also the timing. Was. All wrong as far as the newspaper quote voiceovers were concerned.
Judy Grimes made me laugh out loud just kidding.
I usually like Stephon, but it wasn’t quite right.
I’m a SNL writer John Mulaney stand-up fan so it was cool to see him make his on camera debut with a funny diatribe on Girl Scout Cookies. TAKE EM DOWN A PEG JOHN!
Hah, pope.
Mariah Carey With A Mustache Bad
Cold open had Obama talking about the lack of cooperation from the banks. Aside from Armisen’s Obama being blown away by how much a dinner with the CEO’s cost (“$85,000!”) it was a waste.
Suze Orman. Who cares?
I was waiting for someone to make fun of Steve Harvey guest hosting on Millionaire, but the entire skit just involved Kenan Thompson as Harvey mispronouncing simple words. Insulting and not funny. Kenan better watch his back, Harvey is actually jacked now.
Did MGMT decide to experiment and see what happens if they take Ambien before they perform?
This wouldn’t stop. Wow.
