[~Devil Trigger~]

As expected

Prince brought it

 

[Zabka]

Prince is the fucking man. Jesus Christ.

 

[TheAbsolution]

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

Yeah it doesn't sound like shit unlike most SNL performances.

[kirblar]

As expected

Prince brought it

There are very few constants in the world.

Prince bringing it is one of them.

 

[dkeane]

Holy fuck that was awesome.

 

[Y2Kev]

Who does prince not shit on from great height? No one.

 

[krackerjack]

I've never even really been a fan of Prince (not not a fan, just haven't heard much of his music other than the iconic songs), but I have seen the light after that performance!

 

[TheAbsolution]

That was fucking great.
If I was SNL I would've just given Prince more time. He's that godamn amazing.

 

[kirblar]

I've never even really been a fan of Prince (not not a fan, just haven't heard much of his music other than the iconic songs), but I have seen the light after that performance!

Yeah, I don't know any of his music (his big mainstream '80s/'90s peak just wasn't in my genre of music growing up) but every time I've seen him perform live has been unreal.

 

[DietRob]

Think I'll just watch this Prince performance a few times. So good.

 

[Avon Barksdale]

They should've let Prince perform for the rest of the show, would've saved up from potentially bad sketches.

 

[Jarrod38]

Can we give up hope for the 30tn anniversary remaster edition of Purple Rain?

 

[Bgamer90]

Katt and Suge!

 

[TheAbsolution]

Yes! Jay Pharaoh's Kat Williams impression is the best.

 

[kingocfs]

Yes! Jay Pharaoh's Kat Williams impression is the best.

Not as good as Drake's.

 

[The Elite]

Present from a friend.

 

[TheAbsolution]

Not as good as Drake's.

True dat.
That's who I was remembering more.

 

[petethepanda]

Starting now. This monologue has to be the least funny thing I've ever seen from Chris Rock. I'm not "offended" by any of it, it's just shockingly unfunny.

 

[The Elite]

Cue card malfunction.

 

[sixteen-bit]

Did Uber sponsor this episode?

 

[Jaxx]

This Uber skit is a trainwreck.

 

[The Elite]

This feels like Chris Rock wrote it. Doesn't feel like an SNL sketch. Weird.

 

[Phanatic8390]

This Uber skit is a trainwreck.

This skit is so bad it's making me uncomfortable

 

[kirblar]

This feels like Chris Rock wrote it. Doesn't feel like an SNL sketch. Weird.

Yeah, something's really off about it.

 

[Bgamer90]

Cue card malfunction.

That was so hard to watch.

 

[Discotheque]

Holy shit at the monologue. People are gonna be talking about it on Monday lol

 

[TheAbsolution]

This feels like Chris Rock wrote it. Doesn't feel like an SNL sketch. Weird.

Yeah. It was really bad.

 

[The Elite]

Yeah, something's really off about it.

It had a very old school SNL feel. Maybe something mid 80s.

Not very good.

 

[kirblar]

Holy shit at the monologue. People are gonna be talking about it on Monday lol

Once it got off the Boston stuff it was good.

 

[Treythalomew]

Whoa that was something else. Even without the cue card mishap that skit was just weird.

Shark Tank was amazing though.

 

[vatstep]

There were some astoundingly long stretches of complete silence from the crowd during that skit. I think it was supposed to intentionally be that bad... right?

 

[Discotheque]

I liked most of it. Even the Boston part if only for the "I don't think he's going there is he? Nah...oh shit he is" feeling

 

[Avon Barksdale]

I think we can all agree that Prince was the MVP tonight.

 

[kingocfs]

Twitter search "Chris rock Boston." Who knew so many people watched SNL...

 

[TheAbsolution]

That skit was kinda funny.

 

[The Elite]

Twitter search "Chris rock Boston." Who knew so many people watched SNL...

It was consistently one of NBC's highest rated shows up until recently.

 

[Avon Barksdale]

Twitter isn't really a good indication of a show's viewership.

 

[djplaeskool]

This is hilariously awkward.

 

[vatstep]

I honestly bet you're big down there!

 

[kingocfs]

Twitter isn't really a good indication of a show's viewership.

Well I always figured it was just us.

Prince too good for the close.

 

[AkuMifune]

Prince was both better and stranger than expected.

Well done.

 

[The Elite]

Rock's monologue was great.

 

[<+)O Robido O(+>]

I forgot P was gonna be on tonight. Anyone got links to his performance?

[JesseZao]

Rock's monologue was great.

Indeed. A couple good skits and Prince, but the rest was back to season opener levels.

Thanks!

 

[CitizenVectron]

Does anyone know the name of the woman who sings with him at the beginning? I've never seen her before, she was great too.

 

[Avon Barksdale]

#ThingsFunnierThanSNL is trending right now.

 

[kirblar]

I think Jost is a dead man walking at this point. Too many sketches that just plain aren't funny.
