(11,599 posts)I don't think he should've smiled during the skit though. It reminded me too much of Fire Marshall Bill.

(9,243 posts)I didn't like Jim Carrey or Woody Harrelson as Biden. Carrey was too distracting. He couldn't slide into the Biden character. He kept looking like previous characters he'd been, instead of taking on a new character, which is important when you're trying to portray a real person. Even in comedy...

(25,969 posts)The mute button was funny and things picked up when Maya Rudolph joined in, but otherwise- meh. The bit had very little to do with Biden or what actually happened at the debate and was mostly Carrey mugging for the camera--and I say that as someone who usually likes Jim Carrey.
Maybe he'll improve over time.
Sympthsical
(9,073 posts)It wasnt very good. Carey has the voice down, but the look and mannerisms didnt fit. The writing was stupefyingly inaccurate to capturing the essence of the debate. It felt low and lazy.
Even Rudolph seemed off. What point were they trying to make with Harris there? It didnt fit in with anything they had in the primary debate sketches. She came in as stern and scolding instead of fun and kick ass.
I was underwhelmed.
But hey, Trade Daddy was back!
