Why I am not laughing at Saturday Night Live.

[Floogeldy]

Because our Iraq policy, the report, dead Americans and dead Iraqis ARE NOT FUCKING FUNNY.

The opening skit shows no respect for the horrible and grotesque reality of Iraq. It. Is. Not. Fucking. Funny.

1. I always forget about SNL

Maybe I'll actually put it on. Even if it sucks. I haven't seen one episode this season.

[Floogeldy]

2. You haven't missed anything.

Good decision, BNL.

[ironflange]

5. I think I speak for every organism on Earth when I say

You haven't missed much.

[Blue-Jay]

3. Because they forgot the "winkey" smiley.

Everything is funnier with that little winkey bastard.

;)

[GirlinContempt]

8. You forgot the sarcasm smiley

[Blue-Jay]

12. If you *have* to use the sarcasm smiley, you suck at sarcasm.

:D

[GirlinContempt]

13. You forgot the sarcasm smiley

[Blue-Jay]

15. D'oh!

Dammit!

I always forget to use that.

[GirlinContempt]

16. Don't make me do it again

:D

[-..__...]

4. Don't let it worry you...

Last time I laughed at SNL was at least 20 years ago.

[JackBeck]

6. They had an opening skit a few weeks ago that was making jokes about the same thing.

We watched it and just could not laugh. We couldn't even laugh at the actor imitating Bush. The whole situation, Bush included, if just not funny (actually, when was it?) anymore.

[Floogeldy]

7. Thanks for the affirmation, JB.

We agree.

[Hand]

9. It's been Not. Fucking. Funny. for twenty years or more. nt

[SmileyBoy]

10. SNL hasn't been funny for 10 years or so.

It needs to be shown the Green Door of the network TV show dog pound.

[SmileyBoy]

11. Why are people saying 20 years ago?? I thought it was still a strong show 10 years ago.

Maybe it's because I'm a young guy...

[BarenakedLady]

14. I'm watching

Still haven't cracked a smile except for reading these threads here.

[Floogeldy]

17. BTW, Gwen Stefani was lip-synching (no live band and she covered her mouth).

Truth.

[WCGreen]

18. She sucked that bad on tape....

I'd sue the tape manufaturer...

That song sucked....

[Maddy McCall]

20. Tell me she didn't do that stupid yodelady song.

Gack. Lechhh.

[Moochy]

23. Oh man that was bad

Yes Maddy she did do that stupid yodelady song, and she had on a grey leopard leotard.

[Maddy McCall]

24. Ugh.

It's a dumb song.

Thanks for the info. :)

[Initech]

19. SNL hasnt been funny for a long time.

Doesnt surprise me at all.

[pokerfan]

21. The only thing funny on SNL anymore

is Robert Smigel's TV Funhouse.

[Rosco T.]

22. I just picked up the box set of the ORIGINAL 1st SEASON of SNL...

COMPLETELY UNCUT, all the skits and musical performances intact.

[Chorophyll]

25. The only bright spot

...and I use the term very loosely, is that at least SNL is trying for political humor again. It was all teeny-bopper stuff for a couple of years after 9/11.

Still... yeah, they're not particularly funny.
