not as funny as 4 andy richters doing boyz ii men

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.

― 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).

― jhoshea (jhoshea), Monday, 18 December 2006 06:47 (seventeen years ago) link

i like his new tunes but ya his voice sux :'( i liked lazy sunday @ first but i just got sick of it.

― aidsy (aidsy), Monday, 18 December 2006 06:51 (seventeen years ago) link

I loved the lettuce digital short. It seems to have spawned a large number of remakes on youtube...

And yeah, both Timberlake performances were great...

I liked this one, too. (This was last week, right?) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KP2Fp7vJD4E

A lot of SNL stuff used to not be so much L, back in the day. Maybe they should embrace that, at this point.

i've said it before, snl need more Kristen Wiig.

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

― whoop de doodle (kenan), Monday, 18 December 2006 14:59 (seventeen years ago) link

also, what's with the 15-year olds coming to this thread to spew teh hate?

― 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.

― Nu-Edward III (edward iii), Monday, 18 December 2006 15:19 (seventeen years ago) link

i wonder if snl will ever hire anyone as funny as mo collins? maybe someday. stranger things have happened. they did hire will farrell once! or even someone as funny as stephnie weir.

― 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.

― thebingo (thebingo), Monday, 18 December 2006 15:38 (seventeen years ago) link

the "mountain man" one where amy poehler and k. wiig get matthew fox to kiss them was one of the hottest things i've seen a long time

― urghonomic (gcannon), Monday, 18 December 2006 15:40 (seventeen years ago) link

I've given JT plenty of shit about his voice in the past but not anymore. I think he's been working with someone to work out some of the inconsistencies and tightness that were in his sound up through Justified because even his falsetto is more secure/assured and relaxed than it was.

― Jesus Dan (dan perry), Monday, 18 December 2006 15:43 (seventeen years ago) link

I don't think it's so spot-on -- he makes Pacino sound like a southerner. (xpost)

― Hurting (A-Ron Hubbard), Monday, 18 December 2006 15:44 (seventeen years ago) link

There are people in this world who think that Natalie Portman thing is funny.

That just kind of blew my mind, to be honest. I can't hear this at work (or at home--anyone else ever have problems with YouTube not making sounds on their computer?? It's the only website that does this from time to time), but I am A+++ certain that it is funnier than the Natalie Portman thing or Lazy Sunday. It would be hard NOT to be funnier.

Forget "My Love" -- "What Goes Around"

― Tape Store (Tape Store), Monday, 18 December 2006 21:59 (seventeen years ago) link

Its Kristen Wiig and Maya Rudolph's facial expressions that make me roffle. It wouldn't be half as funny without them. The song is also horribly catchy.

The Target Lady is pretty annoying, but she's a great character actress. I think I already like her stuff more that Rachael Dratch.

Look, I'm not trying to say that the Natalie Portman rap is the funniest thing ever, but I laughed when she told the little kids to "suck my dick."

― Hurting (A-Ron Hubbard), Monday, 18 December 2006 22:11 (seventeen years ago) link

Didn't Parnell do another rap besides the NP one and the Narnia one? I swear there's another one he did that was way better than those but, fuck it, memory be shot!

― cousin larry bundgee (bundgee), Monday, 18 December 2006 22:15 (seventeen years ago) link

This stuff is always funnier when it relies less on "look at white people doing black music/look at unassuming whites acting like agressvie/violent rappers" and more on actual punchlines in the song (which is why I thought "Lazy Sunday" was funnier than the Natalie Portman sketch, which I thought was mostly stupid except for Samberg in a viking costume).

That being said, you can't really find a better punchline than "It's my dick in a box."

― max (maxreax), Monday, 18 December 2006 22:32 (seventeen years ago) link

Chris Parnell's done a few raps on Weekend Update...Like this time...or on this one.

this was pretty funny, but JT's real SNL masterpiece was that "Omletteville" skit last time he hosted.

nabisco OTM. The awesome Structure-circa-1992 outfits, round tortoise-shell glasses, and sweet 98-Degrees beards killed me (and yes, Mr Show did some of this too).

And of course "Put your junk in that ba-ah-ocks"

PTC: Not a Fan Of Boxes

http://www.comcast.net/data/entertainment/eonline/images/news/2006/12/22/2006/12/22/br-48627.jpg

...As of Friday, more than 4 million people had watched the clip on YouTube, with countless others taking it in through NBC's official site, much to the dismay of the PTC.

"This is a new low for NBC," PTC President Brent Bozell said in a statement. "Clearly, the network will stop at nothing to find loopholes for its indecent programming to reach the public..."

Showed this to the mom of a kid I tutor, as she likes Justin Timberlake.
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.
