Title: One of the few funny SNL skits I've seen recently
Post by: Treize69 on April 11, 2010, 06:16:42 PM: Thought I'd share. Was funny enough that I had to find it so I could watch it again. So weird its wonderful.

I smiled.

Speaking of "classic" SNL here is one of my favorite commercials.

John Belushi - Little Chocolate Donuts (http://www.hulu.com/watch/2345/saturday-night-live-little-chocolate-donuts)

Post by: Treize69 on April 11, 2010, 08:39:44 PM: My GF always records it and watches it before going to work Sunday morning. That one she saved and showed to me a few days later, knowing I'd get a kick out of it. Oddly enough, my reaction was essentially the same as the guest stars.

I'm still looking for the recent 'Ham and Bubbly' one to get uploaded, that was another one that was funny for its sheer oddness.

Post by: ImADot on April 11, 2010, 09:53:02 PM: Wow, I guess my sense of humor is lots different. Didn't even crack a smile. SNL sure ain't the same as it was back in the 80's when I was watching it. To each their own, I guess.

Post by: Saxman on April 11, 2010, 11:07:37 PM: I've actually been told off by people when I tell them the cast members from earlier years are FAR better than the people on there now (I personally grew up on reruns of the 90s-era on Comedy Central).

People just don't know what REAL funny is, anymore. If it's not gross-out or outrageous Borat-style humor, or morons nearly killing themselves with stupid stunts it's just not good to kids today. I personally think Will Ferrell is just plain obnoxious and would take one Bill Murray, or Dan Akroyd, or Kevin Nealon over the entire CAST of SNL today.

This is one of the funniest things I've seen in a while. You don't get funny like this anymore, and that's a shame:

Eh, I can appreciate the comedy from many years ago and can appreciate comedy today. But I do agree that SNL has lost a lot in the last decade.

Post by: rpm on April 11, 2010, 11:51:32 PM: I think SNL is on the comeback trail. The few couple of seasons are a vast improvement over the previous 10 years or so. Tina Fey was great as head writer. She's the reason 30 Rock is so good. I particularly liked her "Sarah Palin Channel" skit last night. That was greatness.

Having said that, SNL in no way stands up to the original Not ready for Prime Time Players. :old:

It's actually gotten to be pretty funny again over the past year or two. Best it has been since the 90s for sure.

Phil had a TON of great characters. Frankenstein.... Unfrozen Caveman Lawyer.... RIP Phil. :salute

I always broke up over Kevin Nealon's Mr. Subliminal, and when he didn't get too obnoxious Adam Sandler had some great ones as well (I loved the trio he did as Opera Man with John Lovitz as Opera Man's brother, and the third chick as their sister).

If the late-70s/early-80s was the Golden Age of SNL, The early to mid-90s was its Renaissance.
