Oh my god that freaking accent.

 

[backflip10019]

Fucking Jimmy Fallon. God dammit. He's awful.

 

[DrEvil]

Ahahahah hair mess-up burn, so good.

 

[Bronx-Man]

And once again Jimmy Fallon keeps breaking

 

[backflip10019]

Is Fallon like wasted right now?

 

[Aeana]

God Jimmy thanks for reminding everyone you were terrible on this show

 

[Milabrega]

This is awful and going on too far. A waste of Tina Fey.

 

[metalslimer]

Jimmy Fallon is still so bad. How is it so hard to read cue cards? Tina Fey not doing a Palin reprisal during election time is a waste.

She did somewhat recently. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0pinZNYxQeo

She doesn't really like doing it though.

 

[DietRob]

That would have been sooo much better with just Tina.

 

[BJK]

...and you know they gave Fallon hoagies just so that he'd have a mnemonic for the accent he couldn't stop butchering.

 

[whitehawk]

Cold opening was awesome, host part was awesome, high school play clip was awesome, day off clip was awesome, first half of weekend update was awesome.

 

[backflip10019]

That phone booth sketch was so weird and awesome.

 

[Goodstyle]

That was a uhhh, weird sketch.

 

[Aeana]

That phone call sketch was great

 

[The Auxiliary]

Cute

 

[newjeruse]

I wonder if LMM wrote that one.

 

[Emarv]

An SNL sketch mostly in Spanish without subs? Be still my Latino heart!

 

[Bronx-Man]

"Answering the big questions like 'Where was that black kid's family?'"

 

[DrEvil]

Sure, a Stranger Things skit.

 

[backflip10019]

Holy shit this Stranger Things sketch

 

[DrEvil]

Haha, that's a decent Wynona impersonation.

 

[Bronx-Man]

Managing to turn Stranger Things into a police brutality sketch is pretty goddamn inventive.

 

[Supa Necta]

Haha, that's a decent Wynona impersonation.

Yep, lost it at this.

 

[Bronx-Man]

Twenty-One Pilots is Suicide Squad in music form.

 

[Goodstyle]

Haha, that's a decent Wynona impersonation.

The actress has a real talent for playing irritating characters/people.

 

[Sanjuro]

Fell asleep right before the opening. Fell again and woke up during the second musical performance.

#old

 

[Goodstyle]

Yikes, that was short but brutal.

 

[Sanjuro]

Haha. That last skit felt like classic sketch writing.

 

[Bronx-Man]

Rough start, but that was one of the best SNL episodes i've seen in a looooong time.

 

[backflip10019]

Man Lin-Manuel was great. Best host in a long while.

 

[Sanjuro]

Michael Che is a Mets fan?! That poor bastard.

 

[Diprosalic]

I should get around to Hamilton.

DON'T!!!

take this as a warning from a man who has this shit stuck in his head for the better part of a year.

i can't get it out. i've tried everything.

 

[Mariolee]

So would ya'll consider SNL two for two this season?

 

[Oblivion]

Whoa, that white dude doing that musical number in the beginning has some major skill.

 

[DrEvil]

He also wrote the new Cantina music from Star Wars Episode 7...

Here's them doing it live.. https://youtu.be/nGc8oMt2MiY?t=2m3s

 

[NimbusD]

That phone booth sketch was so weird and awesome.

Yeah it was fucking wonderful. O wasn't laughing out loud but I had a smile on my face the whole time. It felt so fucking fresh for snl.

 

[MrCunningham]

Twenty-One Pilots is Suicide Squad in music form.

A dumpster fire?

:O

I just listened to History Has Its Eye On You. This dude is pretty badass.

 

[big ander]

Oof on this ep. Pretty good cold open followed by trash. Monologue was standard and boring ("My Shot" is the only song I've heard from the show and I thought it was annoying then, this didn't really change that and I'm pretty sure Hamilton is just not for me). almost zero live sketches came together: teacher was a dud, wells fargo a dud, campfire a dud. the Stranger Things one wasn't a complete dud because Kenan and Leslie were funny but it's a really basic principle that no sketch should be 75% simple references to a thing.

even Weekend Update, after starting great, ended so weak because of Fallon and Fey. Fallon was more obviously awful but Fey didn't fare so hot either—couldn't we have less of past cast members coming back every freaking week? Maybe that would allow new cast members to actually build an identity? I get that all Fallon has to do with himself is every once in a while play like connect four but with funny hats on or something in between getting loaded but that doesn't mean he should be welcomed onto SNL just to cure his boredom. Let him be bad on his own show.

Oh and Twenty One Pilots shouldn't be allowed. how does white guy reggae/rock-rap exist in the year two thousand and sixteen. no.

Exceptions: all the pre-taped stuff was excellent. Crucible cast party was catchy and fun, Kellyanne's day off was hysterical with McKinnon at the top of her game, Diego Calls His Mom was weird and weirdly sweet, another good Melania moment. Also liked the last sketch, Pete killed it.

 

[StopMakingSense]

As a HS Theater nerd, Crucible cast party was extremely accurate.

 

[Goodstyle]

Here's the debate promo for Saturday.

Every theatre nerd I've seen has said this exact thing. Must have been an amazing short for you guys lol.

Melissa V also had a surprisingly good and distinct singing voice. She's probably the best new cast member in general. Turns out being sorta racist doesn't stop you from being talented lol.

 

[Sanjuro]

That is a great question, Denzel!

 

[Aeana]

Killing it already.

 

[vatstep]

So good. The cold opens so far have been pure gold.

 

[Pamplemousse]

Yeah, great opening. Loved Trump calling the black guy Denzel

 

[Goodstyle]

ANOTHER MUSICAL MONOLOGUE!!?

Spoiler

Not actually that annoyed by this, I just almost wanted to complain about it.

 

[Sanjuro]

Did they unshackle the writers from SNL prison this season?

 

[streetsahead123]

Hoo boy I don't think I've ever seen a post-monologue sketch bomb so hard

Although it's picking up a bit I guess
