Show is so edgy now with a murderer starring in it.

I tried watching.......couldn't do it, just couldn't do it. Still not funny.

Sheen looked like he was in a hostage video and knows he isn't getting his family back.

What is this snl you speak of

They didn't dare mention that many believe Biden voted for Trump - only explanation for how clearly delighted he is that Trump won.

John travolta had a smaller bubble

It is interesting watching the regime lackeys lose hope. Before they could insulate themselves because they had power they illegitimately seized in 2020.

Now the pendulum is going to swing back hard.

I look forward to "Republican" senators hearing from millions of constituents on a daily basis during the confirmation hearings for the cabinet picks.

i'm curious what the demographics of this show actually are?
i know of only TWO people that actually watch it..
Ann Althouse (a 72(ish?) year old white affluent midwestern woman)
and my mom (a 92 year old white affluent midwestern woman)

i'm Not saying that ONLY rich white female midwestern senior citizens watch it;
i'm just wondering what it's demographics Actually ARE (not what they say they are)

Achilles বলেছেন...

It is old. All of TV and legacy media is watched by old people.

None of their stuff is funny enough to get views on social media so nobody watches it there either.

ooh- a burn only old people will feel…

SNL would have been canceled years ago, if the ratings and demographics mattered.

Howard বলেছেন...

Parts of it were funny. However they screwed it up by introducing the two additional characters that were decidedly unfunny. I can't believe I'm saying this but I kind of feel sorry for Alec Baldwin. He can't even qualify for a set of steak knives anymore

rehajm বলেছেন...

It now serves a purpose so it will never die. The View will never die. MSNBC will never die. They will be shelved and some lackeys will try to build some trust to use them for the next election cycle…

There used to be an unfunny "satirical" magazine called "Spy". Supposedly "iconoclastic" and "edgy". And it wasn't. It went after the same ol' tired targets that every other liberal/left comedian and comedy show went after. It was for little old ladies from Dubuque and San francisco. That's SNL now. Its for conformist school teachers and dweebs.

BTW, already the Party line has been sent out and they're trying to stop Matt Gaetz from being AG. You can always tell who the Liberal establishment regards as a threat by who gets attacked on TV shows.

when your funniest joke is showing a cartoon, you need better writers.

Someone was conspicuous in her absence. But I guess sad is rarely funny.

Wince বলেছেন...

I couldn't understand the big applause line when the Trump guy said, "We've got Elon and Matt Gaetz, an alien..." wha?????

rehajm বলেছেন...

…and a predator…

Althouse commenters: "SNL hasn't been funny since the Coneheads.". Anyway, I thought it was good. But Biden is not a Boomer! Ffs.

Cappy বলেছেন...

Opening sketch halfway decent. Switched to college football when expected woke screeching set in afterward.

Achilles বলেছেন...

Baldwin. Sheen. Whatever.

William বলেছেন...

I liked the rapid fire delivery, but the jokes were lame. They were firing blanks, except for Baldwin.

For a palate cleanser, here’s Dana Carvey visiting the Bush (Sr.) White House.

Did Trump actually come out best out of all those characters? Not possible at SNL!

Your brain knows bullshit.

I always love it when people try to defend something current by implying or saying that all the critics are old fuddie duddies, who haven't liked anything since Ozzie and Harriet.

They have it backwards. Just because its current, doesnt mean its good. Things don't just evolve and devolve. And sometimes things actually were better in the past.

But its a good rhetorical trick. Instead of defending something new, you just call the critics "Old farts". A smarter version of Teenage snark

Maybe not truly edgy or iconoclastic, but a new satire outlet can be like breath of fresh air. That was a lot of the appeal of Spy or SNL or Mad Magazine or National Lampoon in the beginning. I thought they were all funny in the beginning. That had a lot to do with the novelty. They were doing things that other people weren't doing. Eventually the air gets stale. The content and the format become repetitive and uninteresting.

Spy's three big targets were A. M. Rosenthal, Bret Easton Ellis, both now forgotten, and ... Donald Trump. It was hard to tell if the magazine really hated them or was just using them as pegs to hang the usual gags on. The satirists and those they satirized were part of the same media community. To me as an outsider, it would have been silly for the satirists to assume that they were much better than the objects of their satire.

Agree. The first part was funny. The extras including Alec Baldwin - seemed forced and were un-funny.

Alec Baldwin was not funny. I got the feeling that the really didn't know where to go with that character. So he just read the lines off the teleprompter with a raspy voice. I also got a similar vibe from the actress who was playing Gaetz. It was like she was letting the makeup do most of the work. (Although, the makeup was so heavy that may have required her not to show expression on her face.)
