Still not funny.
Interesting thing about winning a major sports championship. While the city that wins is all agog for months, the rest of the world has forgotten it by the next day. I've noticed that over the years living in various cities. No one outside of Wisconsin even remembers there was a World Series this past week.
I say this not to be evil. I just find it a kind of odd thing. I remember when the Tigers won their first WS in some 23 or so years and we thought the entire world was celebrating with us. Or when the Red Wings finally won a Stanley Cup...again- we thought it was the first thing on everyone's mind.
Nope. No one outside of the state cared a whit.

So...enjoy it, Wisconsin. We've moved on already, but we're happy for you. And at some point you'll stop celebrating. But never lose the feeling or memory. It is a great thing.

SNL is still not funny, however. No matter the topic.

SNL - who tunes in, still? Boggles.

Dave Begley म्हणाले...

Funny for the first time since 1979.

I guess maybe that guy on the right is supposed to be obviously fake and annoying.

That guy on the left makes it look like acting drunk isn't all that easy.

...the truth, it will come from the lips of a Christian.

A Christian Man.

Not all the time. Remember the NE Patriots "dynasty?" A large portion of the country hated them for years.

Jacob Ruppert Jr., owner of the Haffen Brewing Company, says "hold my beer." Under Ruppert's ownership, the Yankees won 10 World Series.

Talk about forgetting, I was in a barbershop in Orchard Park two weeks ago, and I asked if anyone could remember any Bills QBs between Jim Kelly and Josh Allen. There was dead silence, and then someone yelled out "Tyrod Taylor". I think he is still playing with the Packers.

I was just contemplating the longevity of that show. If I'm not mistaken, it's been on the air uninterrupted for over 50 years now. A comedic television program that has spanned 3 generations and showing no signs of stopping is remarkable. Comedy doesn't usually carry over that way, young people don't typically laugh at what old people think was funny on television. What are the longest lasting comedians/programs in television history? The Jack Benny Program ran on radio to television from 1932 to 1965, then in semi-annual specials until he died in 1974. The Red Skelton Television Show had a 20+ year run from 1951 or so until 1971, which began in radio in the 1940's. Lucille Ball had 3 different programs from 1950's to mid-1970's. Other than those three, most comedys don't sustain across decades- The Honeymooners/Jackie Gleason only aired for one season. Maybe it is the ever-changing cast that keeps it updated and attuned to the passing generations. If it was still Chevy Chase and Jane Curtin, no kids would be caught dead watching it.

Temujin, I'm with you.
I made it through 2:30. A weak one-concept joke interminably dragged out for 4 minutes.

Jake म्हणाले...

That was awfully low effort.

Ann Althouse म्हणाले...

2 things amused me: making fun of the head-patting challenge and telling Christian Yellich he looks like Pete Davidson.

bagoh20 म्हणाले...

That went right over my head.

Dave Begley म्हणाले...

I withdraw my comment. I couldn’t understand a word that guy slurred. He sounded like that drunk Ohio governor candidate.

Dave Begley म्हणाले...

The target audience of SNL is 17-25 coastal liberal elites.

I see that Dave Begley has sobered up and is back to form.

Because they kept winning for years.

Or maybe he was sober at 7:04am …

Bobby Moynihan is still on the show? Or did they get someone just like Bobby Moynihan to do the Bobby Moynihan roles?

Hey SNL - Live from New York - hope you understand what's coming.

FredSays म्हणाले...

Pretty much what the SNL crowd thinks of Milwaukee. Drunk uncle.

SNL is college humor. I remember college life as incredibly fun and profoundly stupid. I wasn't there for the right reasons. Luckily, back then, it was cheap.
I had a girlfriend at school for a short time who was an amazing specimen of tall blonde athleticism, who was also incredibly bold and attracted to risk, which was more fun than any man is entitled to. I also had a motorcycle (Suzuki 750) that weighed over 500lbs. I came out of class one day and she was sitting there on my bike waiting for me. She never rode a motorcycle before, but thought it would be fun to surprise me. I jumped on the back and we took off into the western Pennsylvania woodlands. I started out on the Dean's list for a couple years, but stuff like this distracted me right off it.
