OMG, SNL is actually slightly humourous tonight...

[CaliforniaPeggy]

1. That's a switch!

I hear tell they haven't been funny in ages!

[johnnie]

2. Yeah, I've laughed a few times

Not too bad so far

[Lex]

3. LOL!

They had a spoof of a Republican commercial showing "Count Obama" (think Sesame Street) counting "One gay marriage . . . . two gay marriage . . . ."

And Hillary Clinton popping out of a woman's stomach (think Alien) offering school children condoms and abortion pills.


(Yikes. Are people finally figuring out that this kind of rhetoric is nothing more scare tactics? I hope so.)

[johnnie]

5. This Chris Matthews thing is pretty funny too

[Lex]

6. John Wayne Gacy, Jr.

[pokerfan]

16. That was Robert Smigel's TV Funhouse

The only part of SNL one can count upon to be funny anymore.

Maya's mangling of the Anthem was funny, but it was all Maya. And I'm in love with Maya.

[Lex]

4. Hugh Laurie is the host.

I've loved him since Jeeves & Wooster!

Although I guess most people know him from the tv show House.

[WCGreen]

12. Black Adder as well....

That was brilliant...

[Lex]

7. Hugh Laurie is playing a guitar and singing a pretty

funny song right now.

[BelleCarolinaPeridot]

8. OMG they are doing Weekend Update w/ a sleazy senator.

The way he is talking is sooooooooo creepy.

[Lex]

10. The New Jersey same sex couple guys are

killing me.

[Fuzz]

11. Oh!

[Lex]

13. "Basically it means that this beautiful son-of-bitch over here

will be entitled to my benefits which should keep him in track suits and gold chains well into his golden years."

Oh!

[Fuzz]

14. I'm living in Jersey right now.

I would LOVE to run into a couple like that, but, not sure one like that exists.

[Lex]

15. Believe me, for every kind of person there is, there's a gay person

like that too. It's just easier for most people to 'see' the stereotypical pansy guys or butch women.

[medeak]

9. thanx from left coasters! n/t

[NYC Liberal]

17. I was there tonight...yes, it was the best of the season so far!

Who else loved the "protest song"?

[WCGreen]

18. I did.....

I tought it a little bit of a zing at John Mayer's new song/...

[peekaloo]

19. The first half hour was pretty good.

I tuned out after Beck's first song.

Woohoo...Alec Baldwin's hosting the Saturday after the election!

[distantearlywarning]

20. I loved the Hardball thing last night.

That was the funniest SNL skit I've seen in a long time. I really hope that they are starting to move away from the surrealistic-silly stuff and back into good old-fashioned satire, especially political satire.

The New Jersey gay couple was also quite amusing.

[smitty]

21. Slightly humorous is a big step up for SNL.

[WCGreen]

22. Yes indeed it is...

[WCGreen]

23. Yes indeed it is...
