Everytime someone tells me that SNL really is funny again, I end up watching some stupid piece of crap like this that fails to provoke a single grin, much less a laugh.

When will I learn?

OTM, but at least slightly funnier than Lazy Sunday, I think.

― Hurting (A-Ron Hubbard), Monday, 18 December 2006 06:23 (seventeen years ago) link

Natalie Portman rap > Lazy Sunday > this, I think. That's the entirety of my SNL experience in the last five years.

One of the youtube links led me to SNL's recut Apocalypto trailer. Unbelievably awful.

― milo (milo), Monday, 18 December 2006 06:31 (seventeen years ago) link

ok someone just showed me the natalie portman thing too. fuck these faggots imho. "oh hurrrr we are white yet we act black and canned laughter ensues". if I was joseph mengeles I would sew all these white bitches together

― aidsy (aidsy), Monday, 18 December 2006 06:34 (seventeen years ago) link

I'd go Natalie Portman>D in a B>Lazy Sunday

I watched a few other skits on Youtube - it's sad when the musical guest is a better actor by far than anyone in the cast, and it's pathetic when that's not even saying very much.

But the "My Love" is a great performance all around. My opinion of JT has just gone up another notch or two.

http://youtube.com/watch?v=FgRImO7DLSg

― Hurting (A-Ron Hubbard), Monday, 18 December 2006 06:35 (seventeen years ago) link

as much as that lazy sunday pissed me off the natalie portman was so many levels worse.

(and that tragic timberlake makes great songs but can't sing - and what's w/the nearly constant begging for face punching - except you wouldn't cause it would really hurt the guy. imagine a young prince or r. kelly or even babyface or whoever singing my love, think of how sweet that would be).

― whoop de doodle (kenan), Monday, 18 December 2006 15:00 (seventeen years ago) link

I laughed my ass off at this the other night while still kind of dreading the instant hype/backlash cycle it would inspire. It probably helps that when you see it on TV you have no idea what it's about until the chorus hits, whereas on the net everyone's going to click on it after already being told it's "the dick in a box song," which probably takes half the fun out of it. I still think Samberg is kinda corny and potentially the new Fallon, but having a good singer on this makes it work the same way that having a good rapper (Parnell) on Lazy Sunday made it work.

Kristen Wiig is great! some of her characters do kinda suck, though.

― Al (Alex In Baltimore), Monday, 18 December 2006 15:14 (seventeen years ago) link

"Is she the one who does that unspeakably painful Target employee character?"

such a horrible rip-off of a mo collins mad t.v. character.

― scott seward (121212), Monday, 18 December 2006 15:24 (seventeen years ago) link

jbr and map otm, this was funny and the show has been in a mini-stride lately (even the annette bening one had its moments). dudes it's snl, it's never like mindblowingly great.

i think kristen wiig is the best, but she does have a wierd mad tv air about her

― urghonomic (gcannon), Monday, 18 December 2006 15:35 (seventeen years ago) link

it also needs more of Bill Hader who does the spot on al pacino. i really liked the "Al Pacino checks his bank balance". Im also convinced that Bill was once a chef in my work cafeteria.

― whoop de doodle (kenan), Tuesday, 19 December 2006 01:25 (seventeen years ago) link

Also, agree that Natalie Portman cursing is not funny. Very first-level. This clip works in at least a couple of ways at once, and it's damn funny.

That DIAB song is pretty catchy but I guess only because the chorus is Baby Come Back by Player. Kinda sad that Justin Timberlake is so much funnier than the actual SNL cast guy who's just sort of... there.

jt not writing show picking costumes

― whoop de doodle (kenan), Tuesday, 19 December 2006 01:35 (seventeen years ago) link

jt not writing show picking costumes

neither the writing nor the costumes are particularly funny. Timberlake's facial expressions and little gestures are pretty hilarious though. I mean you have two dudes working side by side with the same material and one gives a funny performance, one doesn't.

― walterkranz (walterkranz), Tuesday, 19 December 2006 01:38 (seventeen years ago) link

JT was infinitely funnier and more convincing than Jimmy Fallon in the awful Beegees talk show sketch, and he barely even did anything.

― Hurting (A-Ron Hubbard), Tuesday, 19 December 2006 04:29 (seventeen years ago) link

Yeah, Jimmy Fallon is funnier in context. In the context that he left the show, but keeps hovering around it because he's far too lousy to do anything else, and this is all he he has, and GIMME A JOB PLEASE! PLEASE! ANY JOB! That's fucking funny.

― whoop de doodle (kenan), Tuesday, 19 December 2006 04:33 (seventeen years ago) link

A: She laughed, but then said "But he's still so cool/handsome/hot..."
B: Followed shortly by "Who's that other guy? Is this N*SYNC?" DIDN'T NOTICE IT WAS A JOKE.
I mean, she didn't know exactly what was being said, as Japanese is very much her first language, but she knew what was going on.
