fucking giraffe skit had me cross eyed I was laughing so hard.

11/2/2008 1:23:42 AM

I'd don't know the "Sad Grandpa" strategy he talked about might just work for him.

11/2/2008 2:38:11 AM

I had to go to hulu to see the Olbermann spoof. Not bad, although Ben looked like he was about to lose it a couple of times. The Special Comment was freaking hilarious though.

11/2/2008 12:04:36 PM

So question who is SNL going to make fun of if/when Obama is elected. They won't have Republicans to pick on.

11/2/2008 12:22:54 PM

Seth Myers was on Fresh Air last week, and they talked about that for a bit (just like Jon Stewart has talked about previously) - he said that he's sure they will find things to make fun of, but it's pretty much undeniable, regardless of your political affiliation, that Obama is just not very good joke material. He doesn't have any major features that are easy to jump on - no funny accent, no funny way of talking or moving, doesn't make major mistakes in speeches or interviews, etc. I know people like to dog on SNL, The Daily SHow, Letterman, etc for being too liberal, but they've shown that they have no problem making fun of Al Gore, John Kerry, Nancy Pelosi and other Democrats. Obama truly is different from all them, though, and unless he just starts making gaffs left and right, it will be hard to write jokes about him

11/2/2008 1:18:33 PM

they'll probably go the way of blowing up his more magnanimous qualities. sainthood and the like.

^x5 Here's Affleck as the douche bag Olbermann:

http://www.nbc.com/Saturday_Night_Live/video/clips/countdown-with-keith-olbermann/805561/

11/3/2008 7:35:58 AM

it's funny that hooksaw probably doesn't realize that conservatives and liberals alike thought the Olbermann spoof was hilarious, because liberals don't seem to mind laughing at themselves when appropriate. Ben Afleck is himself a flaming liberal, and i'm willing to bet Olbermann has seen it and thinks it's funny too.
Somehow, i can't imagine the same reaction if someone picked on poor little conservatives like Rush, O'Reilly or Hannity.

11/3/2008 10:20:05 AM

im a fan of Affleck's Olbermann. hahaha this is pretty good.

Re: Monday Night Live, election special

...... why does Amy Poehler still look pregnant?

11/3/2008 9:04:52 PM

P K

she had her kid a few days ago....the belly doesn't disappear overnight

i imagine due to her impending pregnancy some parts were prefilmed though

11/3/2008 9:06:33 PM

she had it 9 days ago. I know it doesn't disappear overnight, but seriously - it looked like she was still 9 months pregnant.

McCain didn't really do any jokes..... it was kind of a weird opening

11/3/2008 9:12:20 PM

It was taped

durrrr

11/3/2008 9:43:16 PM

it wasn't, IIRC, she referred to stuff that happened in the past week.

11/3/2008 9:55:04 PM

They've been showing her intro in promos all week. Also, she quit SNL after having her baby.

11/3/2008 10:02:57 PM

well, Tina Fey and Will Ferrell "quit SNL" too, but obviously they all make exceptions.

11/3/2008 10:05:18 PM

both McCain's and Palin's appearances were just weird..... neither of them were really making any decent jokes.
And Palin looked tired as shit

11/3/2008 10:11:37 PM

Yeah, they were lame, and taped.

11/3/2008 10:12:31 PM

i forgot how awful fred armisan's barack obama was during the primaries. granted its not great now, but he's improved ten fold

So you wouldn't unfairly accuse me of trolling--yet again--I didn't come back here after my Palin post. But since you decided to be such a douche, I guess I'll have to bitch slap you again.

1. As if Rush, O'Reilly, and Hannity aren't demonized by far-left loons like you on a daily basis.

2. I take issue with your hasty generalization that liberals are so comfortable with satire directed at them and conservatives are not--can you prove this? And if this is the case, why did Olbermann feel the need to storm the SNL set during rehearsals?

Olbermann crashes "SNL" set

Quote :

"Ben Affleck, who's hosting 'Saturday Night Live' this week, was rehearsing a skit this afternoon mocking Keith Olbermann when Olbermann himself got past security to watch, according to a source with knowledge of the incident. A source described the skit as 'savage,' in portraying Olbermann as a deranged person living at home with his mother. Affleck, said a source, became uneasy with Olbermann in attendance at the 3 p.m., closed-set rehearsal."

http://www.politico.com/blogs/michaelcalderone/1008/Olbermann_crashes_SNL_set_.html

3. And Lorne Michaels--the creator and producer of SNL--said that he gets a lot more grief from Democrats and liberals than he ever does from Republicans and conservatives.

So, why don't you just shut. . .the fuck. . .up, okay?

[Edited on November 4, 2008 at 9:48 AM. Reason : PS: ]

That was the best acting I've ever seen out of Ben Affleck. Damn funny.

[Edited on November 4, 2008 at 10:59 AM. Reason : <-- liberal, btw.]


^wow, did you read the next 2 paragraphs in the Affleck link? The part where Olbermann says it was a funny skit?
If I was Affleck, I'd be a little uncomfortable with him watching also. Could he get pissed and attack me? Hell yea. Luckily, he kept a cool head and found it funny.

Olbermann has the highest-rated program on MSNBC and Countdown debuted in 2003--and it's the first time he's been mocked? Hmm.

2. Of course Olbermann said he thought the skit was funny--if he didn't, everyone would say he's being a dick about it. So, why did he feel the need to crash the SNL set during rehearsals and cause an "incident" that made Affleck "uneasy"? Answer: Olbermann is a massive douche bag with a mutated spine.

3. And you completely ignored the comments by Lorne Michaels. Typical.

As I indicated. . .

11/4/2008 11:38:38 AM

Nowhere does it say he stormed the set. It says he got past security, which means he probably snuck through a back door on 9 to get to 8 and all the sudden he was there. It also doesn't say he was angry, just that Ben Whofleck was uneasy when he saw him show up. Molly Shannon once said she was scared shitless when Courtney Love appeared next to a camera while she was doing a CL bit, but when it was over and the camera cut, Courtney ran up and gave her a hug, laughing hysterically.

11/4/2008 11:44:08 AM

olbermann is a good sport and clearly enjoyed the skit.

he even dedicated a segment to it on countdown last night and was nothing but complementary

nice attempt to troll entertainment, AGAIN, old man, but no one's buying it

11/4/2008 5:51:58 PM

^ It's actually "complimentary," doofus.

11/4/2008 9:37:09 PM

i dont know what shenanigans are going on in this thread

but i would like to say that affleck was a surprisingly great host

11/4/2008 10:10:42 PM

The thing from last night was pretty lame. They just replayed all the stuff from the more recent episodes and all the clips that are already out there on hulu. I was hoping they would have shown a bit more clips from historical elections, but they got reduced to severely edited commercial bumpers.

I guess it was all about election 2008 though.

11/4/2008 10:35:41 PM

goddamn i love hooksaw

points get refuted and he switches to homophones

11/4/2008 10:39:44 PM

Hurray, SNL can now go back to NOT being funny with no more McCain and Palin skits

11/5/2008 12:20:04 AM

the pepper one was decent

so was the whalberg talks to animals

No, Mike Huckabee on Fox News to Hannity said that Lorne Micheals said that. There is too much of a likelihood that that has been skewed in some way or even made up.

So now there is nothing left of your "pwnt" post except your childish hostility.

11/14/2008 12:27:43 PM

ok so JT was awesome tonight

his weekend update thing was one of the better things snl has done in a while

better in weekend update, but the dancers skit was good too

i think i have finally reached the point where i am not ashamed to be a JT fan

11/16/2008 3:09:37 AM

abby elliot is a cutie

and as much as her dad was a terrible fit for snl

he's a funny motherfucker

also, "i'm chevy chase, and you're not" will live forever

FOREVER

no political leanings or bullshit spewed thirty years after the fact can change that

11/16/2008 4:03:15 AM

^^ yeah, i crossed that bridge a year or two ago. my wife has liked him for a while (after n'sync), but then at some point I guess after he started doing SNL or acting, i finally said yeah, he's pretty awesome.....

11/16/2008 9:13:58 AM

i've watched Snagglepuss about 5 times now and I still laugh hysterically every time

11/16/2008 10:28:38 AM

i still wonder how they found the painting from Event Horizon

11/16/2008 4:43:10 PM

Didn't even make it to weekend update. After the 4th gay/wang skit in a row I went to bed.

11/16/2008 5:49:09 PM

ah ha man

you missed the 5th gay/wang sketch

the dancing was hilarious

11/17/2008 8:32:27 AM

chris elliott is kind of a go to guy for...

well...

he is a go to guy

11/17/2008 9:58:55 AM

I thought Justin Timberlake's weekend update thing was pretty lame. It lasted way too long.


"The Dancers" was pretty awesome though.

11/17/2008 11:14:55 AM

the dancing thing was funny. way way too much gay overall though. the digital short was terrible.

11/17/2008 11:30:17 AM

everything seemed to be for shock value

if it wasn't man-kissing, it was ultra-violence
