the best nate special is probably his most recent on prime.  the two netflix ones are also solid.  there are also a bunch of assorted clips you might find on youtube or on siriusxm comedy channels (th

You are very wrong if you don’t think this is great. The monkey sketch and the Port Authority Duane Reede are pure Mulaney era SNL writing.

The political parody cold opens have gotten too repetitive and tiresome and run too long.  Do something new.

It's an election year, of course they're gonna do political parody. And this week was different, Rudy and the crazy lady, instead of Baldwin and Jim Carrey doing Trump and Biden. I love Kate McKinnon as Rudy.

Yeah this cold opening was about right after a few flat efforts as of late.  
 

noCR but wife was watching with me and I was dying laughing at Cecily’s impression of that fucking lunatic next to Rudy.  And she basically asked me, “why is this so funny to you?  She’s being weird.”   So I paused it and played her a quick real life clip of that woman in Michigan and we resumed SNL with my wife having an Ah-Ha moment followed by laughter followed by; “is it weird that strong made more sense than the woman who gets to help pick the President?”  Somebody on here called it last week that the election bullshit was basically taking on a “girl you wish you hadn’t talked to at a party vibe” and they were spot on.
 

 Episode got pretty weak fairly quickly IMO. Looking forward to the two close outs to the year.  They’ve plenty of shit to work with and Wiig needs a comedic win to resurrect her non existent career

Non existent? She's the villain in the new Wonder Woman, has 2 more movies in post production and a 3rd waiting to film. She's been pretty busy.

Being Busy =/= Being Funny

There's 25 other actresses that can play the roles she's been playing lately.  But none of them are as funny as she is.  And she's chosen to ignore that fact.  I love her, wife and I have been huge fans of her for 15 years.  But she's following in a proud SNL tradition, set mostly by men (not just picking on her), of leaving the show, doing a few great projects, and then somehow losing their enormous comedic chops.  It'll be fun to see her come back and host again later this month though.

Sorry, non-existent "comedic" career.  Christ, this woke movement is about as funny as my last colonoscopy.  

Remember when Eddie Murphy started doing kids movies?  Or when Sasha Grey went to dramatic comedies?  It was in that vein.  She has a great career if you measure it by money and appearances.  I don't think she's doing anything terribly funny anymore, and that's a shame IMHO.  Forget I said anything, she should get the Twain award next year if there is any justice left in this world!

yes, for the umpteenth time.  I acknowledge it's going well, it's just not that funny.  I thought she put a premium on humor, but she doesn't and the cash speaks for itself.  I applaud her in that respect.  Same thing happened to Sandler, Murphy, Fallon, Myers.  Others fell in the middle.  Some were and still are cranking out hilarity at almost every turn.

full disclosure... i have a 'thing' for Timothee Chalamet. not quite as bad as bama and Harry...but close 😊 

i thought he was great! he outdid the cast itself in every skit.

cold open was ok, Mckinnon's Fauci was good but the other girl was off, timing or something. 

funny monologue, shot of his mom was lol 

my tiny horse was so bizarre i was more 😳 than 😄...until they did the wide cut on the 'git! go on, git!' and i cracked up.

Covid family was funny. WU was meh. the SportsMax promo was hysterical especially Timothee 🤣

you could tell he was having fun. the hosts that commit 110% are always the best.

Springsteen is an American icon but...just not my thing. that's the nicest thing i can say.

I'm a casual Springsteen fan, but it's obvious the years have caught up with him vocally. It's sad when icons get old.

Glad I'm not the only one that felt that way.  The host kid seems like he's got some chops down the road.  I dunno, not my cup of tea but I'd like to see the Dune reboot.  But overall, just flat energy by the cast, shitty writing as always, and maybe the worst Weekend Update of the season.  When you finish an episode and think, "Wow, Pete Davidson was well used and funny tonight"...that's a bad sign.  As said above repeatedly, Bruce has never been my thing despite my love of rock 'n roll.  I guess he should be on my bucket list but I know I'll never bother seeing him so what's the point.  csbalert/ I had a meeting in Dallas about 4 years ago near the AAC.  We finished dinner early and I walked by the arena and he was playing.  This wasn't even the raise-the-roof-encore.  This was just like 90 minutes into what I understand is like his usual 3.5hour show.  And I put my hand on the brick exterior near where the stage was (obviously separated by a lot of brick and concrete and distance).  And I could feel a slight vibration.  I thought, if he can do that in his late 60's, he's doing something right.  

Coronavirus holiday gathering and Lexus video were funniest sketches.  Cold opening was solid.  Rest was just awkwardly bad even by 2020 standards.

W/U has been a bit of a letdown in the last few months, but it was back last night and back strong.  Subway, Twins, and I thought insurrection gamenight were all good.  Ratatouille and Blue Georgia had potential but fell flat, IMO.  Cold Opening could have been better but give 'em credit for trying to summarize 6 weeks of pure fucking stupidity in our nation.  Normally that'd be a solid "B" episode, but they had a lot of time to come up with better shit given the longer than usual break plus John wasn't the homerun he could have been, so I guess an overall "C+/B-"  But who cares anyway?  I think Levy next week is gonna be binary, either an absolute home-run for the decade or falls completely flat because he plays it the same way in every sketch.

disappointing... mostly bc Dan Levy is hysterical and i had high expectations, but too many skits had timing issues and he seemed awkward, he didn't do well in that format. 

however, the Zillow commercial slayed...literally bc i was viewing Zillow porn when it came on and i lost it 🤣

Yea, pretty much the same for me. Gotta love Schitts Creek though!

I thought he was really good. Its the writing. The monologue was unfunny. He did what he could. Zillow killed.

The live skits have long been a weakness. They really need a different direction there.

Am I the only person who doesn't find zillow-surfing or looking at random homes on websites fun or entertaining? That sounds miserable and a huge waste of time to me. Is it something women and gays like to do, is that the joke?

I don’t think I have ever just leisurely surfed Zillow. Only if we are sorta looking at specific houses that might be for sale, but that’s it. 
 

ETA that I thought he was hilarious. Monologue sucked, but yeah it was the writing. I see where they wanted to go, but meh. 
 

my favorite was probably the men’s cosmetics commercial. I think I read that it was cut from the final show, but I watched it on YouTube.
