POLL: How badly does SNL suck @ss?

[Julius Civitatus]

I'm watching the season premiere of SNL. Every year it is a little bit worse, but this is just unfunny; I barely laugh twice during the entire show. Not even Dane Cook can save this ship from sinking. It's a train wreck!!!

What do you think?

[Julius Civitatus]

1. I'm amazed at how terrible this was

If this season premiere is an indication of things to come, they are doing must worse than I thought.

The actors are OK. Most of them can carry their line fine, but show little capacity for real funny improvisation (what made Ferrel, Carvey, Myers, and others so big). And they are working with horrible material. Their writers are just HORRIBLE.

2. The season premiere is over!!!

This is the first time I have ever missed an SNL season premiere. I must be older than dirt.

4. If something "sucks ass" badly, does that mean it's good?

:shrug:

6. No, it's bad

FTI: Sucking ass means it is not good.

Just here to help. You're welcome.

:patriot:

10. Well sure, but if sucking is bad, and you're bad at sucking, then you're

bad at being bad, which means? :silly:

5. Why are you afraid to type "ass?" Fucking bugs the shit out of me.

U gotta be fucking kidding my ass?

8. Concerned the mods may delete it

Sometimes I'm not sure what constitutes a forum violation. Just playing it safe.

7. The skit about Airport Security was pretty barbed and made

the point about how ridiculus the Homeland Security department really is...

I turned it off after that and watched the tape of Studio 60 on Sunset Strip...

That was a hell of a lot funnier....

9. Umm, I have watched SNL since the very beginning & I had

more laughs at this episode than I have in a long time. It all has to do with mind-set at the time. Really.

[speedoo]

11. I have not watched it in years.

It has become truly horrible.:puke:

12. You think SNL is bad? Check out the Royal Canadian Air Farce

This is from the CBC who turned down
SCTV for this dreck

13. I usually like it

but Dane Cook is a hack, so of course this episode sucked.

[Deja Q]

15. It's been dead since about 1993...

And even before that, more of it was garish rather than funny.

Still, the episode Roseanne guested on was great... and the season that had the "Brady Bunch meets the Partridge Family" skit (93?) was their last gasp of freshness.

I was grateful for when MadTV started, though its sarcastic style even got to me on occasion. (Mind you, even the sad skits like "McDumpster" seem more relevant today... :( )

16. Oh how I miss the old SNL!

When they had people like Radner, Belushi, Crystal, Short, Akroyd, Martin, Murphy, Carvey, Chase and others.

I used to love Billy Crystal as Fernando in "Fernando's Hideaway." "It is better to look good than to feel good." Martin Short as a relative of Kate Hepburn or as the paranoid business man: "It's not me, it's them." I would laugh my butt off every week. It was especially good around election time.
I don't even think to watch it anymore. It is not anywhere near the same show it used to be.

17. I can't believe I stayed up for that drek.

Worst premiere ever.

[peekaloo]

18. It's the slurping sound(s) from all that ass sucking

that really disgusts me.

I do not find Dane Cook to be funny either.

19. Good thing then I didn't stay up for it
