This was one of the funniest SNL skits I have seen in a long time
Seeker posted this on my thread about the Census. It reminded me of SNL back when it was funny.

2. What about the recent skit featuring the runaway Toyota Prius?
Then at the end you see a black screen with the Ford logo, and a voiceover that says, "Ford. We make hybrids, too."

3. I suspect that's not far from some of the scenarios they encounter.

4. I have encountered and talked to a lot of people in my role as an EMT
that's what made it especially funny to me, the character Chris played is pretty much spot on.

5. This weekend I would like to see them do a cover of the Fox News interview with
Obama, only Obama would be played by Samuel L Jackson. I think that could be quite funny, especially if he chanelled Jules from Pulp Fiction....

7. The "part time" work reminds me....
...of when I was a teenager and the first time I applied for a job, and the application asked me how many hours a week was I wanted to work (as in 20-40 hours per week).

So I figured:

I woke up around 7, went to sleep around 11 or 12, but I'd like to say I had at least one day a week blocked off. So I did the numbers, and came up with 102 hours....102 hours of the week which I considered myself "available" to work.

Needless to say, I didn't get a call back from them.

11. just wish they'd put the cue cards SOMEWHERE near what his line of sight should be
I always look 5 feet to the right of the person I'M talking with.

It's not just him, it's every damn skit on SNL. Maybe they should find a way to do it with ear prompters or magic glasses or something... or better blocking.
