Weezy added another stat to his career year this weekend as musical guest for the season premiere of Saturday Night Live. Unfortunately he didn’t do much to bring excitement to an episode that really could have used it, Palin/Clinton bit aside. (I’m not sure how you spend a summer working on new material only to rewrite old sketches and not once lampoon the presidential candidates after talking it up so much, but that is among the many reasons I’m not a writer for Saturday Night Live. Also, that stereotype-spitting waiter sketch — ugh.) Dwayne and his autotuner did the singles, “Lollipop” and “Got Money (Remix),” the most entertaining part of which was a Mack Maine verse and once again watching Weezy’s jeans balance beneath his ass and somehow never fall down. If you missed the show, Videogum’s harvested just the funny parts (there were a few), and here are videos of Mr. Carter’s two songs and magic jeans:
Lollipop

whats the deal with his guitar? why is pretending to play it?
Pathetic. I’d rather listen to T-Pain. At least he doesn’t make us endure ‘guitar solos’.
SNL was my first exposure to Lil Wayne.
why is this guy famous?
P4k <3s him
hey, i love your little MMJ bears. what show did you take that at?
pooch got a girlfriend! how cute?!
i yoinked it off the mmj site. i don’t think they’ll mind
This site is so fucking stupid. It rehashes the same news stories from billboard.com and rollingstone.com.
that might or might not be true. but i don’t have the time to weed through those sites for the parts that interest me. nor can i make snarky comments with some like-minded people there.
also, calm down. it’s just the internet.

the secret to making sure your pants don’t fall off your ass: keep your legs spread pretty far apart. the only downside is that you have to waddle instead of walk.
Lil Wayne Shreds
god, that waiter sketch DID suck ass.
i only know that because a friend told me. a really dumb friend.
That was the new guy’s (Bobby Moynihan) popular character at UCB. Is that his only idea? A waiter who says “pepper” funny? I can’t believe SNL let him do that on TV
this guy is worse than a ham sandwich
Lollipop was taken down. Damn you, Universal!
That new guy is obnoxious as hell. Which is probably why the waiter sketch was on at the very end of the show. And Michael Phelps was a train wreck. I can’t watch SNL anymore.
Why does SNL recycle skits? Also what happened to the digital shorts, I thought those were supposed to keep the funny. Space Olympics techno? Huh? What? A milli?
In the words of Papa Bear O’Reilly…
FUCKIN’ THING SUCKS
The episode was total crap. I was looking forward to it because of the time they had to prepare and all the laughable political material they could use but they totally blew it.
On a positive note, I thought Lil’ Wayne killed it, especially on Got Money. I love Lil’ Wayne, but I’m not a fan of that song, Lollipop, or any of the R&B-type shit he put on his new album (more of a mixtape fan). That being said, I think he made the song good live and he and his sidekick Mack Maine looked as if they were having a ball and really working to make the performance tight. Live hip hop can be touch and go, but this was one of the best performances I’ve seen on SNL.
and I can see Russia from my house
that pepper skit was SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO bad,
like worst, WORST, skit i have witnessed on SNL….seriously.
not worse than the obnoxious brother and sister where she always goes “I SAID WEEah!”
a terrible skit is bad enough, but i don’t understand for the life of me how SNL could think its a good idea to make some of these awful skits into recurring ones like this and the pepper.
OMG ‘I said WEEEEAhhhh..” was *amazing* lol…. IT’S FOR KIDS!!!
