EPISODE 111 — Mike O'Brien, Our Close Friend

[JacobCrites 4977]

Does anyone still watch SNL

yep! I avoided the Trump episode obviously but this is actually a really good cast and the sketch writing is really solid-all around. The sketches are actually sketches, not loose concepts wrapped around dumb characters and impressions (they'll do those every once in awhile, but the Hayder/Wiig years were ALL that). Update is pretty bad, but mostly because of the hosts. The joke writing is still pretty good.

How's everyone feeling today? Y'all gonna donate to the pledge drive?

[Rose_Cream 1246]

The reuniting of Hayes and Sean. I couldn't ask for a better episode to get that Pro Version ba-bay.

 

V exciting. Normally I'd just pop some xanies to chill out but I already packed my mom up with all my medicine and sent her to the fundraising drive.

I hate when people shit on SNL. Every era of SNL has had good skits and bad skits, it's just you only remember the good ones from the past so you're underwhelmed when you watch a full current episode. You would probably be equally underwhelmed watching any episode ever. SNL still produces quality stuff from really funny people. It's just easier to say stuff like "it hasn't been good since Ferrell left" and have a bunch of people who also don't watch agree with you.

Really? I think it's a super cool and unique perspective on comedy and I'm glad it comes up literally any time SNL is mentioned anywhere.

Great episode.

 

I'd love to stay and chat but I know how long it's gonna take to wrangle up my puppy and kitties and get them in the car, so I'm off to do that now.

 

Also this episode is inspiring a name-change

What was your take on "Really? with Seth and Amy"

Totally! Have you also heard that The Simpsons isn't as good in it's 27th season as it was in it's 7th!?!? I just thought of that!

I loved that cast, but the sketches were always pretty lazy. Weekend Update was always a highlight, though. Seth and Amy were a great combo. I genuinely enjoyed "Really?"

Maybe that's not cool, but guess what, NERDS is cool now and bleh blah blehhh.

Here's what I think about SNL - it's a sketch comedy show with a rotating cast. They write and rehearse each episode in one week and then perform it live on Saturday night at 11:30 PM on NBC. Some sketches are really funny. Some are kind of funny. Some are not very funny.

 

I hope that wasn't too controversial

 

Update: This might be stoking the fire - but I wouldn't be able to look myself in the mirror if I didn't add that there's also a different host every week. Some hosts are great. Some are pretty good, and some are not good at all.

 

there's also a different Muuuuuusical guest (scott aukerman) every week. I won't editorialize on this b/c I fast forward through this part of the show 90% of the time.

 

The end.

This is inflammatory and unreasonable and I don't think we should have to listen to this kind of slander.

Listen Steve, there's a time and place for such a contentious statement.

And that's now and here. So, thank you.

Everything used to be different before. It's different nowadays, though. Nowadays everything is the same.

[nohorseman 5423]

SNL? I'm more interested in SnH (Sean n Hayes)

[skizelo 2536]

Engineer Ryan making a strong play to be known as the least game Engie. Mike O'Brien was great, managed to get himself up to speed quickly despite not listening to the show.

Guys I know I haven't been posting on the forums much lately, but now I am back with high quality content

Well.... Those Josh Weinstein & Bill Oakley seasons (7 and 8) are arguably the best The Simpsons has ever been. Also the tone of the show has changed a lot since 'the good old days'. Plus there have been some real objectively awful seasons since season 13 or so.

Agreed but I just find that most people that criticize the quality of The Simpsons today just don't watch it anymore. It's obviously not as good as it was. The Simpsons in it's prime was some of the funniest TV ever. I was more just making fun of people's reaction to bringing up the Simpsons is pretty much "LOL remember when it was good!" and they go on to further stroke their superior ego.

It's great to get initial orders but not for returning customers and it is a subscription box model

Wouldn't it be horrible if a company sold a lifetime subscription plan and its market research involved one of those Facebook quizzes, titled something like "Which Kanye West Song are You?" but the questions were really just a self-assessment type thing to determine how likely one is to commit suicide in the near future. Then the company would target promotions and advertising for the lifetime subscription plan at the most depressed individuals, knowing it wouldn't have to provide the product for very long.

 

Here's a sample question:

 

What do you usually wear to the club?

A) Dark jeans, button-up, and sneakers because I love myself

B ) A blazer and my best friend on my arm because I have friends and a good support team

C) Nothing! Who needs clothes when life is so great!

D) Why does it even matter? What's the point of going to a club? What's the point of doing anything? It 'd be better for everyone if I didn't go at all. Actually, it would be better for everyone if I was never even around.

 

I don't know about you, but this seems like an awful company imo.

 

Anyway, back to the important stuff. What I really want to say is how amazing that episode was. There really wasn't a moment that wasn't perfect. Even Engineer Ryan was great.
