SNL that was BRILLIANT!!!!

[nadinbrzezinski]

And I know why it was horrendous for a few here...

It was some of the best cut too close to the truth, piece of satire I have seen in a long time.

[Me.]

2. "It was some of the best cut too close to the truth,"

You mean the skit with the guy making out with his dad while squeezing his mother's breast?

[nadinbrzezinski]

3. No the opening

stockholm syndrome and all

[ZombieHorde]

6. I know, I was being silly. The Stockholm skit made me chuckle a few times. nt

[ThatsMyBarack]

18. That's exactly why....

I haven't watched SNL for over a decade now. :puke:

I hate it when NBC announces "Brand-New SNL!" I wish they would bring back reruns from the 80s. I already have the 70s eps. on DVD.

4. I know! Hilarious! nt

[nadinbrzezinski]

[The Backlash Cometh]

19. Explosively good.

[nadinbrzezinski]

11. The... weekend update is hilarious

if other democrats say you caved, you really caved!

*SNORT*

Ok what Du'er got into the writing staff for THIS WEEK!

[tomm2thumbs]

12. hahaha re: caved comment

too funny and too true

[Syrinx]

13. it's been a long, long time since SNL was even very funny

Much less brilliant. For some reason, I still watch it. The musical guest was above par tonight though.

[postulater]

17. Musical guest was a bit pitchy for me.

Didn't that guy used to play for Wings?

[nadinbrzezinski]

20. Didn't that guy play for the Beatles?

Yes Sir Paul McCarty, goes back that back...

[Syrinx]

22. no, Paul didn't do his best singing

He was still, by far, the best part of the show, in my opinion.

[BlueCheese]

14. I thought they'd do something about the press conference...

... where Clinton ended up talking to the press by himself. But then, Phil Hartman (?), the guy who played him back in the 1990s, died sometime ago.

Here's hoping "San Francisco Nancy and her Democrat pals" keep up the good fight.

[pnorman]

15. Actualy, I ENJOYED it immensely!

But I took it as broad satire, rather than "red meat to get all afoam over".

[peekaloo]

16. The opening and the MasterCard/Assange "message" were good.

:-)

[RUMMYisFROSTED]

21. "It's like Rush said on his show the other day..."

ouch!
