I have no idea what just happened, I just know that I love Kate McKinnon more than ever

 

[Bgamer90]

I'm a sucker for "breaking the fourth wall". Laughed when they danced off stage.

 

[The Elite]

This episode.

SNL is always best after a break.

 

[Bgamer90]

Man... this performance is awful.

 

[vatstep]

Hahaha, that voice.

Definitely the best episode of the season so far, but I guess that's not saying much.

 

[grkazan12]

That's the closer, come on guys. No digital short either, it was bad man.

 

[Bgamer90]

Episode was so-so. Highlight was the Lincoln parody commercials.

 

[Lum1n3s]

After seeing someone make a thread about SNL and Jim Carrey being there I decided to watch it after a long year hiatus (coming from 90's SNL.) That was a good episode actually, I enjoyed it even if I didn't recognize anyone in the cast except Kenan. Have previous seasons/episodes been this good or did Jim Carrey carry this episode?

Why doesn't NBC run old episodes of SNL at 2 am anymore?

 

[vatstep]

Why doesn't NBC run old episodes of SNL at 2 am anymore?

I don't remember the last time they did that, but throughout this season (and next summer as well) they're airing an episode from every season at 10pm on Saturdays.

Tonight's was Tom Hanks from the 15th season.

He carried the episode. They don't have a Bill Hader-type performer who can carry the show when the host sucks right now.

 

[GalacticAE]

I think there was something wrong with the mix during the iggy azelia performance.

His last appearance from a couple years back was fantastic. This one was also really good, and it`s good to see Weekend Update getting it together.

 

[Akahige]

Watching this now, the Lincoln ads are great and the weekend hosts are surprisingly good this week.

 

[RadioHeadAche]

I feel like that the cast is having more trouble with their lines off the cue cards than previous years. It's very distracting.

After watching a few vintage SNLs, the older casts made it seem more natural somehow. It's very obvious quite often that they're reading off cards in the current seasons.

 

[kingocfs]

Really good episode.

The Today Show had a SNL-themed Halloween show in which Today personalities dressed up as old Saturday Night characters. I found it amusing.

Remember when they used to try and cleverly fit the "Live from New York..." line into the cold open more often than not? I always loved that. Now they just say it.

Yeah.
The cold open used to be better too I think.

 

[shadyspace]

What the hell is Chris Rock doing?

 

[Plinko]

Is Rock really making light of the Boston Marathon bombing here? Seems kind of classless.

 

[TheAbsolution]

"Does this building duck?
What's the sponsor? Target?"
Godamn.
DAMN

 

[Red Comet]

Uh...

 

[vatstep]

Is Rock really making fun of the Boston Marathon bombing here? Seems kind of classless.

Yeah, that really fell flat. As a Bostonian, I'm not offended, it was just incredibly dumb.

 

[kingocfs]

Loving this.

 

[kirblar]

Yeah, that transition was rough.

Freedom tower stuff is much better.

 

[TheAbsolution]

Yeah, that really fell flat. As a Bostonian, I'm not offended, it was just incredibly dumb.

I'm liking it. Although the Boston stuff was weird. Too soon.
The Freedom tower material hit better.

 

[Bgamer90]

Is Rock really making light of the Boston Marathon bombing here? Seems kind of classless.

Yeah, too soon IMO.

 

[DominoKid]

Great opening.

 

[kingocfs]

I heard they were giving Prince like 8 mins tonight for a "jam." Could be incredible.

 

[TheAbsolution]

Great opening.

Yeah other than the Boston marathon material which was too soon, I laughed which was more than I can say for most of the opening SNL has done before.

 

[vatstep]

I heard they were giving Prince like 8 mins tonight for a "jam." Could be incredible.

Yeah, he's just doing one performance.

 

[Y2Kev]

FAPPING

 

[sixteen-bit]

No fappin'!

 

[Bgamer90]

lol those video effects

 

[TheAbsolution]

No fapping. LOL

 

[Bgamer90]

YES. Glad they brought this sketch back.

 

[TheAbsolution]

YES. Glad they brought this sketch back.

Should we have voted for Mitt Romney?
*Uproarious laughter*
Yup. This sketch is a winner.

 

[sixteen-bit]

Sketch killed me.

 

[TheAbsolution]

Alright here comes Prince.

 

[sixteen-bit]

Shoutouts to Splinter Cell

 

[djplaeskool]

I love it when SNL musical performances aren't over-produced.
Prince is a damn legend.

Edit: Holy shit. This guitar solo.
Fuck.

 

[DietRob]

Living God.

 

[Jarrod38]

Only Prince can pull off those glasses.

 

[Avon Barksdale]

 

[The Elite]

I think he brought in his own sound people.

 

[TheAbsolution]

Living God.

So damn good. I love Prince's live performances.

 

[Y2Kev]

Virtuoso.

 

[Bgamer90]

I think he brought in his own sound people.

Yeah, was thinking the same because this sounds so much better than all of the other performances -- very clear/crisp.

 

[kingocfs]

My god the shredding
