and remember, the 3rd anus is free.

Guess I'm not high enough to get that one.

That was good, however, am I wrong or did it not look like a live sketch? If it wasn't that means all the good SNL sketches in the last few years have been prerecorded.

I happened to catch SNL the other night. I haven't watched it in 15 years.

Yup, it still sucks. Nothing was funny. Nothing.

"And by that, I mean he's only half-black". Awesomely inspired! Bravo, SNL!

Good stuff

Any video links that aren't blocked outside of the US?

I only watched half of the Charlie Day SNL. I was hoping it would be funnier with him hosting. I was mildly amused, but I'm not sure if it's even worth it to watch the rest.

SNL is best watched via DVR. I can watch an episode in about 30min (I usually skip the musical guest), and I can skip the truly unfunny stuff.

Weekend Update is usually pretty good. The digital shorts are usually pretty funny. The rest of it is a lot of "meh," with a few bright spots. The Kardashian skit was hilarious, though.

Nasim Pedrad is smokin hot.

That was brutal. And Kristen Wiig was hilarious.

It's amazing how one's opinion of SNL changes drastically with about 10 years of aging.

I didn't find Charlie's skits were that good except the last one as the cop in the apartment that looked like the one in Seinfeld.

Nbc.com? I dunno... we give up universal healthcare for 1st-world internet feeds... not at particularly high speed but we get the videos eventually!

That's pretty much true of all sketch comedy, IMHO. People act like the 70's SNL episodes were all brilliant because they just watch the Best Of cherry picked skits, they don't remember or weren't old enough to see the other 90% that was painfully unfunny.

"Nasty but nourishing!"

I think there were more drug references, and people on drugs to make it funny...

Terrible people are a fertile ground for mockery and humor. I was particularly pleased with the fruits of this harvest as well. The Bruce Jenner impersonation was actually quite terrifying.

If you're skipping the unfunny stuff, I would think you wouldn't need 30 minutes. Maybe 5 minutes?

Kinda true. SNL was more groundbreaking than consistently funny in the 70s. It was kind of the first "counter culture" show on network television. Most late night television was talk shows with old farts. SNL was the first time you got to see people your age acting like you do with your friends. Also, the musical acts were a huge deal, because it was before MTV. You would hear about these bands/musicians like the Tom Waits, John Prine, Talking Heads, Sun Ra or Patti Smith through word of mouth or listen to their records, but SNL was really the only opportunity to see them perform. They weren't on Johnny Carson.

Funny things on this Charlie Day's SNL:

1. Kim K divorce special
2. Rick Perry on Weekend Update
3. Detective I-Dont-Have-A-TV

Can people in the UK even see the video in the article?

TRUTH - who knew it could be so funny.

QFT. Sketch comedy is always like this; 10% brilliant, 40% tolerable, 50% absolutely awful. SNL is best seen in clips on youtube or in the best of episodes.

/%s are pulled squarely out of my ass, but you get the point

Damn! All four of those women from SNL are way hotter than ANY of the Kardouchians.

I remember watching SNL way back in the 70's, when the Patty Hearst story was all over the news (I won't get into it, but Patty Hearst was almost as big as the OJ trial). At some point in the show the host said something about "and we have a very special guest here tonight" and then they showed a Patty Hearst look-alike in the audience, wearing handcuffs and smiling and making a 'power to the people' sign--this was when she was still on the run from the law.

My brother and I looked at each other like, WTF? Except we didn't have "WTF" in those days, so we probably said it out loud or something. That was the weirdest shiat I had seen on TV in my whole life. Stuff like that just wasn't done.

Now every show from the cartoons on up is so "edgy" and "out there" that you see these sorts of jokes all the time, but there was a time, my children, when TV stayed right in the middle of the road.

It was okay, I guess. As someone whose knowledge of Kim Kardashian begins and ends at the fact that she's got a nice ass, I had to infer a lot of the circumstances.

I expected better, I thought Farkers SNL missed its prime years ago. It has its moments, but has been reliably meh for some time.

That being said, the only thing I laughed at was Andy Samberg's 2 seconds of nonspeaking parts.

Electriclectic: It was okay, I guess. As someone whose knowledge of Kim Kardashian begins and ends at the fact that she's got a nice ass, I had to infer a lot of the circumstances.

I'm a bit ashamed at how much that sketch made sense to me.

Yeah, I remember my mom wouldn't let me watch it because of the drug references, so I had to go to my buddys' house because he had a basement with a TV and his parents left him alone do there.

Another thing it brought to the table that was new for it's time is kind of ironic comedy poking fun of mainstream pop culture references that we grew up with. I remember Andy Kaufman did a sketch where he brought up audience members to the stage and had them lip synch to an old record of Old McDonald Had A Farm. I remember laughing until my sides hurt at the time because I remember listening to that exact record when I was a kid. It would probably be painfully unfunny to watch today. And today's comedy and television is so full of irony and pop culture references to childhood nostalgia that we're practically choking on it. If anything, it's becoming increasingly hard to find any sincerity or honesty.

The catchphrase comedians was pretty funny, but the Seinfeld murder sketch was just perfect. Ridiculous buildup to an insignificant punchline.

InmanRoshi:

I wish my parents had left me alone, you know, down there.

I'm in love with Nasim Pedrad.

The "A Closer Look at Europe" bit was hilarious as well.

Abby Elliot is cute and has great cans. Hard to believe Chris Elliot had anything to do with her creation.

For a classics geek like me, the Greek gods skit was golden.

/Hermes and Hades are the gods of commerce and wealth, dammit.

This information will make for awkward fapping for some Farker.

I've never understood the Wiig hate on Fark, I think she's easily one of SNL's funniest cast members ever. Out of all of SNL's female cast members, she's easily top 10, maybe even top 5.

Aaaaand, I think her movie "Bridesmaids" was funny and that she was really funny in both "MacGruber" and "Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story".

So there.

I laughed once and that was for the Yanni bit and that was pretty much it. Wiig and Heder need to take their talent and get it out of there.

Do they have to put Goodburger in every single sketch???
