Man, this is pretty bad. Honestly, I feel like SNL has turned to shit the last 5 years as they have started to cater way too much to millennial bullshit humor.

Nobody has been really liking SNL besides a few isolated skits and the one or two good episodes a season.

Don't be fooled.

 

[kingkitty]

Blame Jost, he okays all of this crap.

Jost isn't a head writer anymore.

Anyways, this Weekend Update isn't that bad. They even got a minor Trump dig (very minor).

 

[Mushroomer25]

So first sketch is sucking up to Trump. Then Weekend Update talks about how horrible Carson is. Not obvious at all.

I feel like the point of Sketch #1 was "Look how absurd Trump's promises are!", but it was completely detoothed in the process.

I laughed at "Then I found out the Mets lost", though.

 

[TheAbsolution]

Ok the porn music got to me.

 

[Mechanized]

This weekend update has been pretty great.

 

[Deadly Cyclone]

Horrible show, but Weekend Update is killing it.

 

[213372bu]

This weekend update cast is still awful. I mean Michael Che can sometimes deliver but mostly they're both awful.

The thing is he can deliver so good sometimes, which sucks when he messes up his own joke right before the punchline :\

 

[Tarkus]

Seth was ok

He was passable. I never got into him though. I felt he wrote better than he delivered.

I'm 21 so I guess I'm a millennial,and this is not funny at all. Please don't generalize.

Che acts like it's his first day on the job every single time. Guy shouldn't be in front of a camera like this, while Jost is all around awful.

Best description really.

I wasn't suggesting that millennials would like it. I was suggesting that they are aiming extra hard for a young audience and are failing terribly.

 

[Tarkus]

Horrible

Wow really? Good to see Lorne knows.

 

[Mushroomer25]

I love Drunk Uncle so much. The harsest anti-Trump burn yet, but it could've happened with anybody else hosting.

[kingkitty]

decent Weekend Update, besides drunk uncle going on too long.

 

[NYCmetsfan]

He was passable. I never got into him though. I felt he wrote better than he delivered.

yeah I can see that. he's got talent but he's just not built for front of the camera stuff

 

[Sianos]

bill: alright we're gonna double subvert the "lmao trump supporters hate immigrants" joke

bill: all according to keikaku

 

[The Elite]

bill: alright now portray your fans as drunk racist idiots

bill: yes good, now call caitlyn jenner 'bruce '

I still kind of love the Bill theory.

I hate drunk uncle but I actually thought that was his best one

 

[blackaroni]

Did something like this really happen at that forum? lol

Every damn week....

Maybe I'm alone, but I could watch Drunk Uncle for a solid hour.

 

[Bgamer90]

Oh Kenan. Just do "What up with that?" again. You know you want to.

You heard it here first. Howard Stern will either be in control of Meyers' slot in late night or he will host it. His contract is up with Sirius in 15 shows and he hasn't announced a single thing yet except he has some possible deals with late night TV. Stern is great friends with Les Moonves. Change is coming. Your heard here first on SourShoes action news.

 

[User 463088]

There's not even a joke within earshot of this skit.

 

[Prompto]

This skit is bombing hard so far

Edit:That might have been the worst I've seen in recent memory.

 

[Hexa]

lol wat?

I don't see it

 

[Bgamer90]

Keenan's blooper was the only funny thing in the sketch. That was horrible.

 

[Rootbeer]

that... was a sketch?

 

[TheAbsolution]

Oh Kenan. Just do "What up with that?" again. You know you want to.

It's the sketch that's he's the best at.
I do t know why they don't use it more.

 

[dallow_bg]

What a sketch.

 

[Sianos]

I still kind of love the Bill theory.

It really does sometimes feel like he's trying to destroy the GOP by winning the primary by scorching the party as a collective and laying kindling ready to burn during the general.

 

[kingkitty]

this was a sketch made around Donald Trump and silly props.

 

[Pastry]

...man this has been a huge dud so far.

 

[Cheebo]

You heard it here first. Howard Stern will either be in control of Meyers' slot in late night or he will host it.

This makes no sense at all. Lorne Michaels controls all of Late night at NBC now, including both Tonight Show & Late Night. Meyers is Lorne's guy 100% and he gets good ratings.

Also Moonves is CBS not NBC...

Who is going to dance Ina tracksuit?

 

[Bgamer90]

Who is going to dance in a tracksuit?

True, true.

 

[Tubie]

What was the point of that sketch? It feels like the punch line never came.

 

[NimbusD]

Who is going to dance Ina tracksuit?

trump? wouldve been worth it.

 

[BoboBrazil]

Horrible stuff. Did SNL forget that sketches were supposed to be funny?

 

[TheAbsolution]

Who is going to dance Ina tracksuit?

What is Jason Sedeikis up to? Is he really that busy?

 

[Bgamer90]

trump? wouldve been worth it.

This would have been far better than the last sketch.

 

[The Elite]

What was the point of that sketch? It feels like the punch line never came.

Laser harps are lame. Donald Trump's character plays the laser harp. Donald Trump is associated with lame.

All according to keikaku.

 

[NimbusD]

honestly, even if trump had final say over the sketches and that's why they're bad, that shit's SNL's fault for having him in the first place. come on. I'm not the usual snob who claims SNL's been horrible for years or w/e, but this is a bad ep
