Wow: SNL opening skit was really biting

[question everything]

the heads of the Detroit 3.

1. One line that should have got a laugh that didn't

was about the GPS and "by the time they got to St. Louis."

From Detroit to Washington, via St. Louis????

funny

6. I once booked a flight for my boss from Cedar Rapids,IA,

to Boise, ID. The route included a stopover in Cincinnati. ????

2. I just saw the skit.

The actor playing Barney Frank sounded more like Elmer Fudd. I loved his ending comment about Detroit making more gay cars.

[question everything]

3. Yes, like the Mini Cooper.

Wonder what the Mini owners will say..

[underpants]

4. They totally missed Barney Frank --Geesh these people are horrible at their job

the caricature of Barney is that he looks like he slept in his suit. They missed the mark there.

Also he doesn't lean forward he has a self assuredness about him that allows him to sit back and volley points.

They totally missed on that.

The guy playing him got his speech right once but other than that he completely missed it.

5. They did a crappy job on Biden the couple times they did him nt

7. SNL definitely needs to do some hiring.

There's no way they can keep the shitty Obama & Biden impressions they have now.

I suppose Darrel Hammond might be able to develop a Biden character, but if Hillary's gonna be in the administration, they might want to keep "Bill" around.

Armisen's Obama SUCKS ASS though. There's no way they can go 4 years with such a weak impersonation, based entirely on right wing propaganda.

10. Jay Leno had a pretty good Obama impersonator on his show, when he did his Celebrity Jeopardy skit.

The lady he had do Hillary on that skit was pretty good as well. That's an option if Amy Poehler can't come back to impersonate Hillary.

13. At least Armisen's Barney Frank is better than his Obama, IMO,

even if his Barney does sound kinda like Elmer Fudd as bumblebee1 mentioned.

[Cleita]

9. I haven't laughed out loud and almost pee'd laughing like I did

with the James Bond/Duane Bodine skit. :rofl:

[Winnipegosis]

14. Actually ity was the other way around

It made the politicians look like blubbering idiots, which is par for the course.

They took shots at American made cars more than anything else.
