This entire season has been awful.

 

[BrokenFiction]

40 years was a good run. Just go ahead and shut it down.

 

[Dr Prob]

Anybody else think Dakota Johnson would be good in an awkward comedy situation?

Maybe. She has good timing and a specific energy but SNL didn't really seem interested in doing her any favors. Feel like tonight wasn't her fault; hope she doesn't catch a ton of shit as the whole thing was just flat.

Laughed at the Worf death scream and I stand by that laugh!

 

[kidtamagotchi]

Dakota Johnson can be funny. She was on Ben & Kate, an underrated sitcom on Fox.

 

[FredX72]

Really do not understand the hate on here. I legitimately laughed at most of the sketches and thought it was one of the better episodes in a while. The ISIS thing was hilarious.

 

[BrokenFiction]

I'll grant the ISIS Sketch. In fact, most of the stuff they film outside the studio is good. It's the stage stuff that falls so flat for me.

She needs takes. Her video stuff was fantastic.

Aside from Kyle and Beck's video that was a super rough episode.

 

[Aaron]

90% of their jokes this season are 'funking up' whatever. Like making Ginsberg say biiach and the like. While half the current cast are not funny at all. Weekend Update actually seemed good this week because everything else was so bad by comparison.

 

[megamerican]

Beyond the the terrorist taped bit it was pretty abysmal. The Vulcan doctor could have worked but the audience non reaction killed it.

It's scary to think of how predominantly young this cast is. Means they might stick around for awhile :/. I still don't get why they took Mike O Brien off the cast. He added some welcome offbeat stuff.

The same guy making tons of lame unfunny jokes on WU is the head writer. There's your problem.

To be fair, Che was right, that Batman joke was incredible. But he probably didn't write it.

 

[TheAbsolution]

Kate McKinnon is killing it as Hillary Clinton in this cold open right now.

 

[vatstep]

Kate McKinnon is killing it in this cold open right now.

Yup, she is always so good. One of the show's few consistent highlights.

 

[Pop-O-Matic]

My channel keeps cutting to commercial in the middle of the monologue for no damn reason.

Whoever did the timings for your local channel probably fucked up.
Try viewing it OTA?

 

[vatstep]

Chris Hemsworth is extraordinarily uncharismatic.

 

[Prompto]

That commercial parody was pretty funny. Especially since they played the actual one right after.

 

[Valhelm]

This is horrific.

 

[TheAbsolution]

That commercial parody was pretty funny. Especially since they played the actual one right after.

Yeah, that was pretty good timing.

 

[Bgamer90]

Is this whole episode going to be nothing but Chris Hemsworth stealth brags? (haha)

 

[TheAbsolution]

I mean, seriously.
This sketch is funny as hell.

 

[TheMan]

I mean, seriously.
This sketch is funny as hell.

yes it was

 

[Bgamer90]

So uhhh... How could they air that on Disney?

 

[TheAbsolution]

This Empire parody is on point too.

 

[The Elite]

They got their 12:50 skit on at 11:50.

 

[Bgamer90]

"Look at me. Look at me." Haha

 

[The Elite]

This skit is fucked up and I kind of love it.

 

[Bgamer90]

That was one of the best/most creative sketches this season. Definitely felt like a "strange 12:50" sketch.

 

[vatstep]

That chicken was a better actor than most Hollywood stars

 

[Valhelm]

These last two were pretty good.

 

[Milabrega]

Chicken skit was so out there I loved it.

 

[GQman2121]

Hahahahahahaha

 

[vatstep]

Hemsworth has been in every skit so far (not including the cold open). That's more than some hosts do in an entire show.

 

[TheAbsolution]

Leslie Jones character is hilarious

 

[TheMan]

this woman is not funny

 

[TheAbsolution]

Ahahahaha they going in on Ben Carson.

 

[vatstep]

Ahahahaha they going in on Ben Carson.

That was great

 

[The Elite]

36 inches.

 

[Prompto]

That was probably the best weekend update with the new anchors that I've seen. Not that it's saying much but still.

 

[Wag]

Avengers skit! Meh.

I never knew Captain America was so short.

 

[Mechanized]

I only jumped in half way through but what I've seen so far is pretty funny. Definitely better than last week.

 

[vatstep]

A wild Chris Cornell appears

 

[TheAbsolution]

Yes, A Porn Stars sketch!

 

[BrokenFiction]

Dolky and Gababa. #dead

 

[vatstep]

Perfect ending.

Good episode!

 

[TheAbsolution]

That was a great episode.
Weekend Update being good was the highlight.

 

[IronRinn]

A wild Chris Cornell appears

Took me a minute before I recognized him.

Last bit was funny. Didn't really dig much else besides Update going in on Ben Carson and Jost's flub.

Edit: Actually, the chicken skit was pretty good, too.

 

[GQman2121]

Shockingly good episode. And I'm happy to see that the Weekend Update duo have come good since the New Year. They're hitting their stride and bouncing off each other well.

 

[krackerjack]

Well, in sad news, I've estimated that it will take me about $13 million dollars in plastic surgery to look like Chris Hemsworth.

Great episode, though.
