SNL was never funny.
SNL was never funny
norm was pretty good on it though
Census taker was good
My dad is a literal boomer (1958) and even then he never understood why the "Chevy Chase and You're Not" line made faggots shit themselves with laughter.
Have the trekkies recovered from this sketch?
youtube.com
Weekend Update about 45% funny rate
All other sketches about 8.5% funny rate
No, it never was. The anniversary show drove that home - with four decades to draw from, they couldn't even fill a single compilation show with A-grade material.
Yeah I've never understood it either. I don't even know a single person that watches it so I'm always amazed it gets so many views on youtube.
OP, you ignorant slut.
it was when chevy was on
he was amazing
SNL's peak years were 1986-2000. The decade or so after that was alright, but the past few years have been painfully unfunny (pic related)
>tfw you share a board with fat 50 year olds who collect disability checks
snl was never funny
Will Ferrell as W and Matt the Radar technician
The original SNL kinda sucks, try watching actual shows of it sometime, not just highlights.
The 80s version was even worse, actually terrible really. The 90s and the early 2000s the show got pretty damn good, and then it took a total nosedive ever since. The only thing they've done for about 15 years is have that chick do a good impression of Sarah Palin. It's not funny, but it's a good impression.
Modern SNL is like watching a high school production really. The people don't really have a firm grasp on the concept of humor, and are all terrible actors.
>high school assembly
FTFY
This. Even the current 2022 one is somewhat tolerable while the sketches make me want to gouge my eyes out
And Jane Curtin doesn't get nearly enough credit for it.
70s SNL was top tier kino, although I only watched the episodes that had hosts I recognized
How did John Mulaney become this popular comedian for normies? I really only know him from his shitty Fox sitcom and Kroll Show stuff. Or his lame Netflix comedy things that I see pop up. Is it because who he’s married to?
THIS FUCKING THIS!!! ANYONE WHO EVER THOUGHT SNL WAS FUNNY IS AN NPC NORMALFAGGOT NIGGER REDDIT CUNT TRANNY
OUR TOP STORY TONIGHT!
sketch comedy in general is hit and miss
doesn't matter what show, snl, monty python, mister show, kids in the hall
they make enough to fill things out, a few of the bits are good, most are forgettable
Only good era in all 47 seasons on the air was this one
but was it funny?
I used to insist SNL was unfunny but now I unironically LMAO at it, does this mean I am a boomer now?
Woah is that the guy who got slapped by Will Smith on the left??
Even the dead men in thus photo still earn more per year than the women combined
i think it was drew gooden who had the fairest take about SNL. there's plenty of good and bad from all the eras but the people who whine about how SNL is unfunny have literally been doing that for decades, there were people saying it was shit from day 1.
Did the modern problematicness of Its Pat kill Julia Sweeneys career?
>i hate women the post
mad tv was always the better sketch show and everyone knows that
chappelle comes a close second
basado
Either that or Ween got her addicted to dust off
...
JACK!!!!
SQUAT!!!
mad tv was even worse than SNL for overreliance on catchphrases and reused characters
Best weekend update host and it’s not even close deal with it Normfags
another one
CQ chads, rise up!
Or so the Germans would have us believe
You’re all wrong, Kevin Nelson was best Weekend Update guy
MadTV was always vastly superior.
youtube.com
literally the worst, even Brad Hall wasn't as bad as Kevin.
Crazy how much blackface sink used to get away with
He was better as a sketch guy on weekend update he tried too much to do it like Chevy where it was just a pale imitation
Funny shit off the top of my head
>Wayne's World
>Toonces the Driving Cat
>Unfrozen Caveman Lawyer
>those fake commercials they did (Donuts Cereal, Colon Blow Cereal, Chia Hair)
>those sketches with Mike Myers in the bathtub
>Dana Carvey doing Johnny Carson and HW Bush
>Will Ferrell doing W. Bush
>Darrol Hammond doing Bill Clinton and Al Gore
>Phil Hartman also doing Bill Clinton (he was in a funny Clinton at McDonald's sketch)
>Eddie Murphy as Buckwheat and Gumby
>Chris Farley as Matt Foley
>Farley, Spade and Sandler as the Gap Girls
>Spade's Hollywood Minute
>Kristin Wiig's Target Lady
>Rob Schneider's "makin copies" sketches
>Norm as Burt Reynolds on celebrity Jeopardy
>Weekend updates with Chevy, Dennis Miller, Norm
That's all I got
People remember the cowbell and stefan sketches because they had the most character breaks. They should just have the cast crack up more because it's funnier watching someone fuck up and lose it than most of the structured shit they attempt.
Watching Fallon and Sanz break character every sketch helped downward spiral the show to where it is today.

one of my faves right there

>'80s were terrible
>'90s into '00s it got good
>current show is terrible
all highly accurate
>Colon Blow Cereal
people have forgotten that period of time where every cereal commercial stressed it's superior fiber content
>it's funnier watching someone fuck up and lose it
very accurate. the tradio calls without george or artie laughing hysterically were real bad... but when they were there it was perfect

SNL's actual good years are basically Dana Carvey and Phil Hartman's time on the show. It was mogged hard by MadTV after like 1995.
Yeah but outside of Stuart they tended to be actually funny. "Makin' copies" is not funny.
Basically. 86-90 was the best years. The early 90s when most of them were still around but now joined by Farley and Sandler crew were almost as good but maybe not quite as sharp after losing Conan and Odenkirk as writers. Basically Robert Smigel, Conan, Odenkirk and Jim Downey and Jack Handey are responsible for the majority of the great sketches of that period
>"Makin' copies" is not funny.
Yes it is.
For me it’s Rob Lowe as Arsenio Beckman

Forgot linky
your retarded
The props being auctioned off at the beginning of the sketch are real. They belonged to Al Franken who wrote the sketch.
>Jack Handy
>Bill Brasky
>occasional funny skit (maybe 1-2 per week during the not so bad times)
Really nothing else of value.
Too much tuna thrust him into the public eye.
>never
Heres your (you), dumbass.
Could this get Rob cancelled?
