Probably the weakest weekend update I can remember since the quinn era.

1/12/2012 12:54:11 AM

that problems so white it should go snowboarding

1/12/2012 1:59:50 PM

one of the worst episodes I've seen in a while.

1/15/2012 12:43:47 AM

better than last episode imo

1/15/2012 12:59:04 AM

i actually enjoyed a Wiig episode for once, the survey at the end was pretty good.

also liked the premise of the jay pharaoh show

1/15/2012 1:41:20 AM

didnt really like the jay pharoah one, matter of fact getting tired of jay pharoah all together. he does the same four impersonations over and over and over and thats it. then they decided to invent some skit for him to do the same thing and only thing he's been doing since he got there.

1/16/2012 2:32:56 PM

^ yup i agree

1/16/2012 6:10:53 PM

Theres been no appearances of Whats Up With That this season. Im afraid it may have been retired.

1/17/2012 11:23:11 AM

Fortunately, there's nothing to prevent us from doing a little "What up with that?" and hammer dance on our own!

1/18/2012 8:02:56 PM

^^^^ I'm pretty sure that skit was a send-up of the very fact that he's only given those four parts. He was intentionally boring when not doing an impression.

1/18/2012 9:57:16 PM

maybe, chris farley has been the only one in recent memory who did not create his own recurring characters and bits. if jay pharaoh had any talent he'd be able to come up with something else.

1/18/2012 10:23:28 PM

You'll have plenty of time to come up with something else WHEN YOU'RE LIVING IN A VAN DOWN BY THE RIVER.

1/18/2012 10:45:35 PM

like a dog murdered a cat and bribed his owner with a bag of doritos, where's the outrage in that

2/12/2012 9:20:04 AM

the dance skit. what was the point of that? i saw no attempt at comedy. they keep doing these retro skits that are all horrible for some reason.

karmin is horrible. how they have made it to snl cracks me up.

2/12/2012 1:03:35 PM

zooey d and michael cera were hilarious thou.

if you've ever seen a french film you'd laugh, not absolutely hilarious as its pretty niche but I definitely laughed a few times

first 45 minutes or so was the best theyve had all season, first two clint eastwood commercials killed it, karmin looked extremely uncomfortable in high heels

2/12/2012 2:26:10 PM

Karmin made Lana Del Rey look like Whitney Houston

that was mindblowingly horrendous

2/12/2012 5:19:56 PM

Loved the Nicholas Cage skit.

It have the two things that makes a Nicholas Cage movie.
1. All dialog is either whispered or screamed.
2. Everything in the movie is on fire.

2/12/2012 6:27:21 PM

I just skip the musical act always

2/12/2012 7:37:31 PM

Liked all of the skits except crab legs and the pen pals. Did not watch Karmin.

2/13/2012 6:48:15 AM

btw, in case you missed it, maya rudolph is hosting this upcoming weekend. i think #3 might be "too soon" now (yes, i know the article was published 4 days ago)

http://popwatch.ew.com/2012/02/08/maya-rudolph-hosting-snl/

2/13/2012 8:24:30 AM

Finally did another What Up With That

I haven't seen that in way too long. Plus it had Kate Upton looking fine.

2/19/2012 12:32:34 AM

the annual Justin Timberlake "well I was in the area" appearence

2/19/2012 1:47:51 PM

Kate Upton..her boobs are the best

2/19/2012 1:59:19 PM

Maya Rudolph was the best host in years

[Edited on February 19, 2012 at 6:00 PM. Reason : White Butler's really into it]

2/19/2012 6:00:26 PM

that may have been the only time that I have ever enjoyed Bronx Beat

2/19/2012 6:11:45 PM

I like Bronx Beat because it's great character actors playing idiosyncratic characters with goofy accents, even if it's the same skit every time.

2/19/2012 9:21:41 PM

meh, it wa sokay, not one of the better ones this season, would have liked more justin timberlake and kate upton and less maya rudolph

2/19/2012 9:22:12 PM

i didnt see the show but saw the Linsanity sketch (quality), the What Up With That sketch (quality, though could've had more bouncing Upton)

wish I would've DVR'd it, Rudolph has serious pipes, ma dukes had a 5 octave range

2/19/2012 9:24:01 PM

Plays a mean Moog, too

2/19/2012 9:31:15 PM

I think it was easily one of the best episodes of the season

Joe Jamal Biden for fucks sake

2/19/2012 9:56:11 PM

joe jamal biden was excellent

also, i loved that timberlake looked terrified of kate upton while the cameras were on them at the end

2/19/2012 10:10:13 PM

I'm going to be in manhattan the night of the Lohan/Jack White episode. I wonder how impossibly hard it would be to get tickets

2/20/2012 1:16:04 AM

What just happened during the scared straight skit? I love when they lose it.

3/4/2012 1:22:51 AM

I think he broke/knocked something over when he sat down on the desk

[Edited on March 4, 2012 at 1:56 AM. Reason : ]

3/4/2012 1:56:14 AM

poor Rufus The Psychic Dog

3/4/2012 4:13:45 AM

^^ sudeikis also picked a wedgie right before he turned around... not sure if the others noticed but i'd wager to say they did

3/5/2012 6:48:37 AM

Lohan was pretty awful. I usually love the Scared Straight skit and I guess the gimmick with her playing herself was funny, but her delivery sucked.

3/5/2012 1:06:50 PM

Some people are upset that Jack White turned down the digital short, but I don't know why people are surprised. When a guy is so focused on image that he shows up to a two-song performance with two bands, why wouldn't he turn down something he doesn't have creative control over?

3/5/2012 1:25:10 PM

How is there not an SNL impersonator for Touré from MSNBC?

I'll take Andy Samberg in blackface at this point.



This needs to happen.





[Edited on April 1, 2012 at 1:36 AM. Reason : Piers Morgan interview was spoof-worthy, for sure]

4/1/2012 1:31:38 AM

Finally watching the Jonah Hill episode, that Liza Minelli tries to turn off a lamp skit had me rolling. The shit Jonah Hill was saying to her was too much

4/1/2012 1:23:03 PM

I liked the talking ape skit, but I'm a simple man.

4/1/2012 3:16:04 PM

^^^maybe b/c nobody knows who the f that is?

4/1/2012 6:08:36 PM

there was a new ep last night? darn dvr didn't record it

4/1/2012 6:42:18 PM

no, there wasnt

4/1/2012 6:45:28 PM

whew. good!

4/1/2012 6:46:07 PM

True enough, but I've seen some fairly obscure impersonations on the show recently, ranging from Justin Timberlake impersonating Justin Vernon to Andy Samberg impersonating Rick Santorum very early in the primaries.

[Edited on April 2, 2012 at 1:16 AM. Reason : ]

4/2/2012 1:12:20 AM

Justin Vernon was on the goddamn show the week before that impression.

4/2/2012 2:08:16 AM

Was he? I must've missed that episode.

4/2/2012 3:56:06 PM

channing tatum was the host
