The problem with SNL is that the good comedians leave and have their own careers. So you're constantly left with a bunch of dregs and maybe one or two up and comers.

I liked the most recent Herb Brooks sketch - when Hader tried his best to make Wiig break, then had to try not to break himself.

Also, list fails without including pretty much every sketch Melissa McCarthy was in. They should show that entire episode to every incoming host and say "Here, this is how you do it."

It also fails without Stefon

Fark SNL. That show won't be funny until Kristen Wiig is gone and they let the Lonely Island Boys do all the sketches.

/Seriously, Wiig is horrible. I have to think the only people who find her funny also think Dane Cook is a talented stand up

Fark SNL, it hasn't been funny since the last universe collapsed into a single point and F3Y7UJ and 88UXX9-D were on it.

You take that back right now, you horrible man.

fark that best/worst article writer. The sketches with the queen always make me laugh hard. And the song they did with Elton John needs to be recorded--was one of the best songs on SNL in recent years, including most of their featured musicians.

I do love Stefon oh so much.

Wiig can be good but she's in it way too much. I really liked the Two A-Holes sketch and the Fingerlings(?) Fingerlakes? Whatever, with the baby doll hands. My coworker got me and two others baby doll hands and a bottle of bubbles. Good times.

So when was the last time you wrote and starred in top-grossing comedy that was lauded as one of the best films of the year by numerous critics?

Speaking of, nary a word was mentioned around these parts when Melissa McCarthy hosted SNL, despite the rave reviews she got and despite the fact that every week apparently there's a Fark thread devoted to the latest SNL. So what happened that one week? I suspect prejudice against fat chicks.

SNL is funny, I banged your mom while it was on TV - quite funny indeed.

Fark SNL. it hasn't been funny since the Simpsons split from it and started their own show instead.

I like snl, but I absolutely do not get why the Jack Sparrow thing is such a hit. Do I need to have seen the movies?

Whew! Hidden Valley Ranch was on there. Good God that was a priceless sketch!

/it's JACKTASTIC!!!!

I wait all week to watch Stefon. Hilarious.

I thought Charlie Day's was hilarious. The kardashian skit, dr. oz calling him poop man, ceelo green, etc
 
2011-12-25 12:35:21 PM
''Jack Sparrow'' (feat. Michael Bolton) that was the single funniest shiat of the year, I later watched it high and it was more funny somehow, not sure why.


Honestly the list could have just said "Most digital shorts" for the best and "most non digital shorts" for the worst. I am glad they called out the Osama thing though, the was beyond awful.

My person worst list:
Anything that involves the fat dude from Nickelodeon singing or wearing a Don King-esque wit to the worst list.
Kristen Wigg. Seriously.
Creepy characters by Bill Hader
When hosts go backstage
When hosts sing
Seth Myers


My Best List:

Bill Hader not being creepy
That girl with the big teeth wearing the Miley wig

SNL will surprise you into a good laugh if you have low expectations.
 
2011-12-25 01:05:14 PM
Bill Hader being creepy can be good. Case in point: As the eponymous host of "The Vincent Price Christmas Special". Admittedly though, his Vincent Price was not nearly as creepy as some of his celebrity guests.
 
2011-12-25 06:46:22 PM
fark SNL. That show hasn't been funny, ever.
 
2011-12-26 12:23:39 AM
I thought that most of the 'Bridesmaids" woman skits were not great, especially the salad dressing one. ugh.
the first skit in the office was good.


What's this about Elton John and the cockney Queen? and a song?

I saw the Anne Hathaway / cockney Queen one.....
