Re: Fred Armisen Must Die!
 

I have not caught the show, but do not care for Sykes. Don't you find her comedy predictable? Same kind of jokes, theme, etc?

I think she's funnier when she's not restricted by network TV, but so far, I've enjoyed the new show.

Seth Meyers was the only thing even remotely funny last night, even my girl Wiig let me down...and that host was the worst since Steven Segal. :td

Re: Fred Armisen Must Die!
 

I tried to watch a little but could not handle 'Precious'.

Re: Fred Armisen Must Die!
 

Weekend update actually made me laugh out loud 3 times. I didn't even smile the rest of the show, and Precious' triceps made me gag.

Re: Fred Armisen Must Die!
 

I turned it off after the 'digital short' with the cherries. Comedy does not include Precious' cherry.

Re: Fred Armisen Must Die!
 

Worst. Digital. Short. Ever.

You should have recorded it, Weekend Update was worth scrolling through the crap for.

Re: Fred Armisen Must Die!
 

I watched Dr. Who outwit the Judoon and a Plasmavore, and called it a night by midnight.

Hahahahaha, it was like TWO LEGS hanging off her shoulders, right one where the left should be
and vice versa. Now there is nothing funny about that, but it sure had a major effect on me.
Your arch-ememy Armisen really hit new lows with the Danish Sinatra show thing. God is he
tough to watch. But he seems to be the lead player in alot of situations, with the rest just
supporting him. Even in staging, he is way upstage. On the bright side, it looks like McGRUBER
is going to be pretty good. At least over the top if not predictable. Val Kilmer, Powers Booth.

Re: Fred Armisen Must Die!
 

Yeah, but I bet you wish your triceps were that big. :r Heck, I wish my biceps were that big. ;)

Re: Fred Armisen Must Die!
 

My LEGS ain't even that big, Seth! ;)

Re: Fred Armisen Must Die!
 

So the last few weeks I've been watching Dr. Who, but I'll have to watch tomorrow night when Betty White hosts. :tu

Re: Fred Armisen Must Die!
 

Some thoughts on last night:
Other than the cold open, very little Armisen. :tu
Betty White was hilarious, but had a few flat spots, notably the Scared Straight sketch with Kenan.
I could have done without Jay-Z's extended "greatest hits" medley. And who was the Sting Mini-Me that came out for his second performance?
It was nice to see all the former cast members who haven't done anything since leaving SNL (except Tina Fey).

Re: Fred Armisen Must Die!
 

I thought the Betty White / Tina Fey Census sketch was the funniest thing SNL has done all year. :r

Definitely a highlight. The digital short was pretty funny too: "Happy Mother's Day, motherf***ers!" :r

And when she asked McGruber "Are you out of your f***ing mind?" :r

Re: Fred Armisen Must Die!
 

And I still think Maya Rudolph is hot. ;)

Re: Fred Armisen Must Die!
 

I think my favorite was Delicious Dish, aka the Dusty Muffin. :r

It was cool to see her on WU as Whitney Houston. I always thought that was one of her best characters.

I have it dvr'd looking forward to watching it today

Re: Fred Armisen Must Die!
 

Other than playing Beer Pong with Jimmy Fallon and grabbing Sandra Bullocks boobs, exactly why is everyone on the Betty White bandwagon these days? I surely missed something.

Re: Fred Armisen Must Die!
 

Because she is almost 90 and is still relevant and funny?

http://www.nbc.com/saturday-night-li...ensus/1226117/

Well, she did do a few things before that. :p
Seriously, I think a lot of her appeal is that she can play a role as saccharine as the dim-witted Rose from the Golden Girls, and then do something like the digital short from last night's SNL.

Re: Fred Armisen Must Die!
 

Don't get me wrong, I'm not hatin on Betty, I just find it odd that *now* she is the toast of the town. A couple years ago she was just another old actress. Now she is an A-lister with some sort of cult-like following.

Just wondering where it all changed.

Re: Fred Armisen Must Die!
 

Someone had to replace Bea Arthur as the ultimate Cougar. ;)

I think it's a combination of the fact that she's still taking on new projects, and the ubiquity of social networking tools. Ten years ago, you might talk about something like last night's SNL with a half dozen people around the proverbial water cooler. Now, any moron with a blog or Facebook account can post up "OMG!!1! Betty White talks about her dusty muffin!!!!" complete with embedded video and reach hundreds of people. :2

Watched Dr. Who last night (Daleks FTW!), then switched over to SNL at midnight. Caught Tom Petty, a bit of WU, then Armisen and Wiig came on doing that stupid sketch where they adlib nonsense songs. Click.

Re: Fred Armisen Must Die!
 

After a one week respite, SNL was back to sucking, even with Baldwin hosting. I laughed once in 90 minutes, near the end of the "Hooker with a Heart" sketch.

Re: Fred Armisen Must Die!
 

They definately peaked with Betty White.

I think Lorne Michaels knew she'd be a tough act to follow, and tried to pull out the big guns. Unfortunately, not every Baldwin show has a Pete Shweddy sketch.

Re: Fred Armisen Must Die!
 

I think they often try too hard to "blue" out a squeaky-clean host. It was as if every
sketch they had Betty White in had some kind of a curse word bleeped out. It's funny
a few times, but it got old fast. Of course, that's what they do best, right?

Re: Fred Armisen Must Die!
 

Or "Canteen Boy". :r

I guess the squeaky-clean image comes from The Golden Girls. She's always made pretty suggestive (if not quite so explicit) comments on talk shows, and in Lake Placid she was pretty foul-mouthed (about the only thing worth watching in that POS).
One of my favorites was him and Steve Martin trying to kill each other and claim the title for most times as host.

Betty White is far from clean. Watch her on some of the Comedy Central Roast's. :r

Re: Fred Armisen Must Die!
 

Once again, I watched Dr. Who, then switched to SNL. Oh cool, Tina Fey, she's pretty funny. Who the f**k is this Hansen brother wannabe in the sketch with her? And Armisen. Ugh. Well, maybe the next sketch will be better.
Commercial, then "Ladies and gentlemen, Justin Beeber (sp?)." Click.

Re: Fred Armisen Must Die!
 

I saw the Tina Fey episode the first time it aired. Regardless of how cute she is, I wasn't going to put myself through that 90 minutes a second time.

Re: Fred Armisen Must Die!
 

You remember on Beavis and Butthead how a crappy video would come on, and they would just sit there staring at the TV with these horrified looks on their faces? That was me when the "musical" number started, for about 30 seconds, then I dove for the remote to change the channel. :r

I love B&B.

Maybe Fred will get a job washing cars before next season.

I don't get it. :confused:
I tried watching the repeat of the Baldwin episode, and got to the same spot: when Armisen and Wiig started crapping up WU with that stupid sketch ad-libbing nonsense songs. And when did Tom Petty turn into Bob Dylan?

Re: Fred Armisen Must Die!
 

You know Kreth, I used to come into this thread and think, "Boy, who crapped in his corn flakes?". I find F.A. annoying,
but he's not really THAT bad. Yes, he is....and last night really put the cherry on top. can tolerate a lot of stuff that
idiot does, but that garth and kat thing is the weakest, lamest, most annoying schtick I have ever seen in 30 years of
SNL. Just awful. I muted the TV and surfed the web for 7-8 minutes. What's worse is he will probably stay FOREVER.
