The laughter on SNL is canned laughter.

[Floogeldy]

As in "recorded."

Sad.

1. They should just kill it and bury it.

It's like a bad face lift.

[Floogeldy]

2. Did you hear it?

The laughter pops up in between the delivered lines and then quickly disappears. It is so obviously fake. I heard the same thing on Craig Ferguson's show last night. You always hear the same lady's voice most prominently. Weird.

3. They're gonna have to kill SNL in about 10 years ago.

It's a saaaaaad story.

4. The tomatoes in my pantry are canned tomoatoes

[SmileyBoy]

5. OK, Mr. Quayle.

:D

[Floogeldy]

6. I think you are confusing potaetoes with tomoatees.

:)

7. I knew Dan Quayle. I laughed at Dan Quayle

And I, sir, am no Dan Quayle.

8. Not on my TV

I didn't hear that. I have been laughing a bit though. I think it has been ok so far.

9. I'm home for SNL

It feels so wrong. :cry:

10. Reminds me of a Mad Magazine article.

It was called "You're a winner and a loser if..." and one of the punchlines was "if you get home on time to watch SNL."

14. Shut-ins, fold-ins, they're all the same

[johnnie]

11. It's normal for me

Although I was supposed to work in the studio tonight but my buddy was only over a few hours and didn't feel well, so he went home.

So here I sit.

13. I'd have no problems with it if I were older

But it goes against my wild college student image. :(

[Floogeldy]

12. It is totally fake.

Listen. There is even canned laughter in the prepared videotaped segments, where there was no audience.

I have a great ear.

[amitten]

16. Where's your other ear?

:7 ( <---- canned )

15. Goes well with the canned musical performances...
