Looks like SNL has finally 'jump the shark'

[Hutzpa]

for some reason their jokes are no longer funny, I'm finding it hard to
find a line I can laugh at, most of their jokes are over the top
and boring.

Gone are the days of actors who can write and act, these jokers are
just that jokers.

Jokes are all whacko, don't know if I should be laughing at their
poor acting or jokes.....:shrug:

They have taken the laugh right out my mouth....

27. OMG...

It's probably not nice to laugh, but "Obamalamadingdong" was just too funny!!!!

:rofl:

Okay, I'll go to bed now without my supper.

[Guava Jelly]

68. Another childish nickname YAY!!

:sarcasm:

[mrreowwr_kittty]

2. I actually think Mad TV is funnier. nt

[Hutzpa]

16. Must admit Mad TV is a lot more funnier

they are doing a sketch right now on Montel Williams....:rofl:

[Nedsdag]

40. Mad TV IS funnier.

They even have a good Obama impersonator:

3. Whut? They didn't coddle yer man obama?

Wah wah wah.

[Radical Activist]

4. Bashing the new cast is an SNL tradition.

They've had some great skits lately although this episode is a little weak so far.

[RoyGBiv]

5. Seems like I've read this post before ...

Like, in 1980.

[PassingFair]

6. Ever since Hillary joined the cast, it's been downhill..... n/t

[underpants]

34. Jane-esque

[Ravy]

70. LOL.

Nice!

[Scurrilous]

72. LOL

:thumbsup:

[SeattleGirl]

7. I think SNL stopped being funny years ago.

IMHO, no SNL group has ever outdone the original Not Ready for Primetime Players.

[speedoo]

21. They stopped being funny many, many years ago.

I have not watched SNL Live in about 10 years. I do watch some reruns if they are from far back enough and I also watch Mad TV which is much more funny.

[tired_old_fireman]

45. If you haven't watched it in ten years

How do you know it's not funny?:shrug:

[Mooney]

That show hasn't been funny in 30 years.

I can't believe people still watch it.

[Joe the Revelator]

8. I love SNL. You people need to toughen up a bit.

I don't care who you support.

[Hutzpa]

13. I can't express my disappointment about SNL

anymore just because we have an election going, what is this world coming to?

[Joe the Revelator]

25. You can hate SNL all you want

I don't see why you feel the need to express that on a political messageboard. Doesn't really make a lot of sense.

[Hutzpa]

39. Ofcourse not,

I don't expect my disappointment making any sense to you, you had an option of reading this thread
and moving right along....by the way, last I checked I'm entitled to say what I like and what I don't....thank you very much.

[Joe the Revelator]

46. Its the same as me posting "I hate Big Macs" in this forum

I have the right to say it, but it makes no sense given the subject of the forum.

[Hutzpa]

57. Well good for you,

just don't hijack my thread, take your "I hate Big Macs" somewhere else, or better yet
create your own thread or forum.

[Joe the Revelator]

58. I see now. You don't make sense in any of your posts. My mistake was thinking it was only your OP.

[Hutzpa]

61. Ad hominem = pus

move along chump, nothing to see here.....

[Joe the Revelator]

63. I'm sure I don't need to point out your hypocrisy.

[Hutzpa]

65. You kept using words that

resemble your responses, its like looking at the mirror infront of ya,
you attacked me for not understanding my post then said I'm not making sense,
hmmm....well too bad, enough indulging your over intelligent being, thanks for
playing....you are now free to rant to your self.

[hisownpetard]

19. Hasn't been a single line that made me laugh since...since I can't remember when.

[mrreowwr_kittty]

24. I'm watching the 3am sketch right now. It's actually pretty funny. nt

[Teaser]

9. Jumped the shark in 83 man

It has needed to be put down for decades.

[smalll]

10. "for some reason their jokes are no longer funny" ????

You might just be ... an Obamatron!

[frazzled]

11. I stopped watching them when they suckered up to George Bush over Al Gore in 2000

That was more than seven years ago. I'm not sure their political predilections have improved much since then.

[Ichingcarpenter]

17. When Will Ferrel left in 2000-2001

Who did a great Bush, strange, I can't find the one on the internet


where he was hiding under desk in the future, drinking and telling
the American people how he was sorry about destroying
America with Wars and insurrection.

When Will left, it went terribly down hill.

[TwilightGardener]

20. That's when I stopped watching--when Will Ferrell left.

[Hutzpa]

23. Talking about this one;

http://youtube.com/watch?v=Q5r6TqpOQGc

Will Ferrel was one of the greats, up there with Chevy Chase and Steve Martin.

[Ichingcarpenter]

44. That was funny but it wasn't the skit

This skit was a SNL show with Will as GB in the future,
he was supposed to talk to the nation, as president, but was hiding under his desk, afraid to come out
after fucking things up.

In the background window, you could see Washington burning, and George was
asked to come out from under his desk to talk to the nation. He apologized for
starting that "War thing" then proceeded to take a nip from a flask.
He then proceded to use a little Weber grill in the oval office, while explaining and apologizing.
Of course he started a fire there too.

It was funny. but now it is strangely prophetic after seeing two or three years ago.

Not sure if I saw it on a neighbor's best of Will Ferrill DVD, E-channel rerun or the internet
but it is no where on youtube or other internet sources now, but I saw it a few times.

[SoCalDem]

12. Um.. SNL hasn't been funny for decades now..

The last time I remember it being funny was when Eddie Murphy was still there.. I watched the FIRST show that SNL did, and it was like nothing else,..and it was FUNNY as hell and cutting edge

[Tatiana]

31. Gilda Radnor was hilarious. n/t

[Hutzpa]

32. I hear ya!

those where the days...hmmm, guess we just have to reminisce now.

[SoCalDem]

43. "Kill ma landlord"..Bass-o-matic.. Roseanne Rosanadanna.. Killer bees.. land shark

and a favorite of mine was Uncle Buck Henry..and Lisa & Todd.. jane you ignorant slut

The sketches today last too long,, they are not funny and they go on and on and on..like they are grasping for an ending..any ending..

[RaleighNCDUer]

14. I remember saying much the same thing

back around '82 or '83.

Of course, THEN I had the REAL SNL to compare them to - Belushi, Ackroyd, Morris, Radner, etc.








Boy, do I feel old.

[TexasLady]

15. aw man, I like it!

No it isnt like it used to be, but I like tonight's show a lot!
I wanna smack Calhoun though.
:D

[WCGreen]

48. That skit they did on the Bravo show was funny...

and the Bulgarian bride...

Two funny skits tonight...

[Hutzpa]

51. That was suppose to be a Russian

immigrant, it was just bad acting all round.

[WCGreen]

64. She said a Bulgarian ship....

It was horrible...

But I ain't looking for Oscar caliber performances here...

[hisownpetard]

18. They haven't been funny in years. Stopped watching a long time ago.

[OPERATIONMINDCRIME]

22. AWWWWWWWW, BOOO HOOOO HOOOO HOOO HOOO. WAHHHHHHH!!! CHANGE ME!!!! WAHHHHH!!!!!

I swear to god, some of you have become your own live walking SNL skits. You are mockeries unto yourselves.

[Hutzpa]

26. lol!

a cartoonist talking about skits....bwahahahaha!

:rofl: :rofl:

41. I Should Always Talk, And Always Will. And Don't Hate Me Because I'm Better Than You.

It's ok. Sometimes in life, you will have to understand that some are simply your intellectual superior. You don't have to get all tantrum throwing about it and stuff. :hi:

[Hippo_Tron]

28. SNL officially died when Will Ferrell left

It was getting bad after Chris Farley and Adam Sandler left but there were at least a few redeeming skits like More Cowbell. It's god awful now.

[BearSquirrel2]

30. Will Ferrels "cheerleader"

Will Ferrels cheerleader wasn't remotely funny.

[Hippo_Tron]

33. Oh I don't think everything he's done is funny

But More Cowbell is classic and his Bush impersonation was pretty good. I'm just saying that after Will Ferrell left, I can't think of almost anything that was really great.

[BearSquirrel2]

29. SNL is largely juvenile ...

After I graduated high school, I stopped finding SNL funny. It just seemed formulaic and bland. I haven't watched it in a LONG, LONG time.

[cooolandrew]

36. The best fun and laughs are on this board really. Then you have legend Mike Malloy where would we be

would we be without him. Check this Mike Malloy clip on our bickering...

[Crunchy Frog]

37. They jumped the shark 28 years ago.

:shrug:

[xchrom]

38. i think this thread is funny

:rofl:

[TexasLady]

42. Hey it's why I love it here

Its a freakin gigglefest most of the time!

[DrFunkenstein]

47. Can't Believe People Still Watch It

They are not comics, just career egotists trying to market a character they can franchise into a movie for the big bucks.

[Hutzpa]

53. Absolutely,

thats what makes it more humorless, tasteless, you can tell they are trying
their hardest, nothing seems to flow.

Sometimes the lines are good but poor acting makes it worse.

[WCGreen]

49. All they really need to do is bring back Christopher Walken...

So he can do his Colonel Lingus skit again...

[Az_lefty]

50. SNL or S&L...that's what most people say when they hear this...

it was over for SNL a long time ago, for the very reasons you've stated.

[Eurobabe]

52. Never watched that drivel anyhow. n/t

[NMMatt]

54. Do what I'm doing and quit watching it and let NBC know about it -nt

[olkaz]

55. This is stupid

SNL is SNL. It's good, it's bad. It's all over the place.

Now that they show a little Pro-Hillary bias, we're to throw them out the same way the Clinton folks threw out Olbermann?

I don't think so.

[Hutzpa]

79. The only stupid

I can see here is your response, why try and link this with political thought
is beyond me, get a life...there is more to life than politics.

[bilgewaterbill]

56. Even if they find something funny they do it over and over until it's not.

[lumberjack_jeff]

59. Obama supporters remind me of Veruca Salt.

[TreasonousBastard]

60. Yeah, OK, let's bring back "The Bees," one of...

the classic bits of humor that will be inmmortalized thorugh the ages, along with Chevy Chase and his classic pratfalls.

What the hell are you people thinking that SNL "used" to be funny? Near as I can tell, it wasn't SNL back then-- just some really good weed kept us laughing at that dreck.

Roseanne Roseannadanna and the Coneheads weren't nearly as funny as people remember. Funny, but only as far as they ripped off Laugh-In.

[Beregond2]

62. Mad

Mad TV has been doing funnier, more pointed skits for years now.

[matcom]

66. ummm SNL hasn't been funny for about 20 years

:shrug:

[InAbLuEsTaTe]

67. What's an SNL? Now MadTV I've heard of.

[THUNDER HANDS]

69. they've gone downhill since the first episode back

part of the problem is they're running four episodes in a row, which they haven't done since the first season.

also, part of the problem is the guest hosts - Ellen Paige and Amy Adams are good actresses, and Adams especially is a gifted comedian, but they're not suited to sketch comedy.

Jonah Hill, though, who hosts next week, should be great.

the opening skit, again, was anti-Hillary. for some reason, people seem to be missing this point.

[ctaylors6]

71. I thought last 2 weeks back very funny.Last night, few chuckles for the phone skit, but not as funny

[yurbud]

73. They have only been sporadically funny since the first cast left

[terrya]

74. "SNL" jumped the shark around 1995.

Please.

[QC]

75. SNL has sucked for over fifteen years.

Of course, it didn't *truly* suck until they failed to drop to their knees and worship The Obamassiah. In the end, the true test of any person or thing's goodness is whether it embraces or opposes Obama.

This kind of reasoning is what inspired the so-called "cult meme," by the way.

[The Gunslinger]

76. last week was ok, but

last night it was terrible, I dont think I laughed 3 different times. I hope the writers get their act together. I think the performers are capable, they just need someone to write something funny.

[LTR]

77. SNL stopped being funny back in the '90s

Many other shows have come along that are way funnier. Take "Robot Chicken," for example.

SNL is tired jokes aimed at boring New York yuppies.

[IndianaGreen]

78. I thought last night sketch was pretty funny!

Clearly the comedy has a strong pro-Hillary bent, but so what?

I liked the line when Obama asked Hillary if Bill was there, and she replies "It's 3 AM, what do you think?"
