I say whatever incentive gets people thinking and acting creatively, good for that incentive.
From where I'm sittin', it's hard to tell which one's the HERBIE and which one's the JABBY, know what I'm sayin'?
How can she just ignore that it's still the Willennium?

Hey, if someone left a dish on my front doorstep with nothing on it but my name written in blood, I'd twitpic that shit, too. Click snap!
Hey, these are all ethnic places that this guy's bashing! It's probably nothing.
Did anyone else like the sketch where Kenan kept falling down? That closeup of him yelling for everyone to leave him was really ticklin' my old, worn-out funny bone. They, as always, dragged it out for 1000 hours too long and made it super predictable, but I thought it at least started out pretty good.
Gabe, maybe wait until YOU'VE had to rush together a lip dub video on a hard deadline before you talk trash about the time-honored Rhubarb Method.
No coincidence he's from Texas, because that rickety old fence behind him is undoubtedly hiding a chainsaw massacre.
So basically this one's just a director's commentary where they tell you everything that's happening.
I'm actually fine with having that beaver replace Mel Gibson.
“Viewers will witness his emotional and possibly shocked reaction as he lifts her veil to see her for the first time following her extreme plastic surgery,” E! said. If there's one thing weddings are about, it's not having a god damn clue what your wife looks like. Mail order barf.
You should get permission from your mother first, but yes.
I had the same problem. You just need to eject the floppy disk and reinsert it. All better!
This cut away just before they threw it back to the weather man, standing backwards in an orange tuxedo in front of a map of pangaea predicting "All kinds of dinosaurs tomorrow."
I will just say that the reason that the three people closest to Rick in life didn't recognize his voice was that they didn't hear it. His signal had dropped out by the time Shane got to the radio. #nitpickgum
Right, I didn't expect there to be much of a point of view in a sketch like that, which is why I didn't like it. There was no room for it, because it was too much at once. In agreement with what AnAmPat said, I get tired of the impression humor that stems from just doing the impression. I mean, SNL rarely even does that. If you look at that Denzel sketch from a few weeks ago, it was at least trying to put it in a strange context. It didn't really work, either, but was at least trying. I'm more into the impressions that heightens the character of the person. If you haven't already, check out James Adomian doing almost anyone that he parodies. He always finds what's funny about a given person, nails their voice and mannerisms, and then takes it to the utmost extreme of what exemplifies that person. His Paul Giamatti is furious at the world for confining him to ugly character actor status. His Jesse Ventura thinks every single thing in the world is a conspiracy. His Huell Howser is naive to the point of being stupid, but always has a really dark past that seems to have made him block out all knowledge of how things work. He does all these on the Comedy Death Ray podcast, and they're probably my favorite impressions ever. Such a long reply!
I understand the humor of new and original impersonations. This was just a showcase of people doing old standby impersonations everyone's seen a million times, and not even in a funny context. Just a string of people quoting Back to the Future in a funny voice. If you look at someone like James Adomian, who takes his impersonation one step further by giving the character an actual point of view and not just some characteristics, it's HILARIOUS. Watching someone sort of dressed like Sam Kinison scream a bunch is not that funny to me. These are opinions, of course, and I thought they were ok to share?
Looks like I really touched a nerve in the Frank Caliendo sector.
Were there any impersonations in the Back to the Future auditions that weren't the same impressions your dumb friend does every time he's around? It's all the "distinct voice" people. Pacino, Alan Alda, Eddie Murphy, Robin Williams. And not even a real sketch idea to incorporate any of them. Just "have these characters say lines from Back to the Future." So lazy.
Four more years! Four more years!
Come on, TMZ Tawian. Think about this. What would Confucius say? WWCS
Hey, he broke one brick, and that's one less brick out there trying to sleep with our daughters.
I'm amazed by SNL's consistency when it comes to just dragging everything out for 12 hours. Gilly didn't even enter the Glee parody until about 2 minutes of Glee references I didn't understand because why should I. Did anyone else notice how they cut to the "wave goodbye" about midway through Jane Lynch's goodbye wavings, then didn't even play the credits? Maybe they wouldn't have been so crunched for time there at the end if Gilly had just suffered brain death instead of coming into a sketch that was already over.
I am of course FAR too busy to watch television live. Now! Off to submit my Internet comment!
Dude's living The Still Life.
You guys, I found the script to "2 Still 2 Here" at the bottom of the filthiest dumpster! In this reboot, Joaquin Phoenix turns away from bad white rap to the even MORE hilarious and "out there" world of gypsydom! He's always stealing and stealing and stealing just like a real gypsy, but it's funny because he's white and really turning racism on its ear! Also, he changes his name to Joaquin Phone Sex right there on Jay Leno's Tonight Show Program for all the world to see so they know it's got to be real! It's gonna box office gross like Batman if he went to Jurassic Park on the Death Star!

The Poor Man's Millionaire Big Fat Contract Very Funny
Yeah, I can see this being a new Dolemite-esque thing. I never really thought of it in that light, and hopefully the Internet Irony Club doesn't ruin that potential by asking for Machete to host SNL or something. Also, Dolemite-esque? Who am I, Franz Kafkaesque?
I completely agree that bad on purpose movies should be filed under "Nope." That said, I don't agree that Grindhouse (at least the Planet Terror portion) is all-out bad on purpose. I really enjoyed Planet Terror. It was mindless insanity and over-the-top, stupid action that was amped up so much that it was a complete parody of a bad movie. It felt like I was watching something out of a meeting where two writers were just like "What's even more ridiculous than the last thing we did? Gun leg?" That said, Deathproof was terrible and boring and a self-serving Tarantino dialogue museum. Opinion aside, I don't think a movie with a poster that labels its Mexican protagonist as a "brutal savage" is gonna be doing much for Ole Humanity.
It's still spelled "Poppycock," only there's an accent over every letter.
Someone forgot to break it to the Prince that he is dressed as an insane FRENCHMAN, not as an insane BRITISHMAN, and thus his accent is LE WRONG. Pretty sure I just solved the biggest problem here.
Wait, he gnaws his own arm off? He looks like he's just trapped under a big rock. "Let me just chew my arm off. There! Oops, still under this rock. Oh, well, high five for trying! Oops. How did I already forget that I just ate my own arm off? Must be something all these vultures are doing to me. These vultures that look like flying hot dogs."
That's weird. The picture displayed earlier. It's those Royal Guards from Star Wars. Lots of laughs.
