SNL: Review of Links
Saturday Night Live, which I have been watching since its first Saturday night, is the finest Tivo show around: Unwatchable live, but often excellent if watched with a fast forward button. And now that SNL is posting many of its segments online, I thought I’d save you those precious fast-forward moments by reviewing the links, in best-first order:
Clear-Rite ad. Loved it. Might have loved it more if they’d ended it before Tim’s entrance, but I’m not sure. Definitely will be on the Best of Kristin Wiig reel.
Country James Bond. Tim McGraw is excellent in this fairly funny, wandering sketch.
Keith Morrison. Funny, and would have been funnier if I’d known this was an imitation of a real guy.
Blizzard Man. Unfunny recurring character, but this one was slightly chucklish. T-Pain and Ludacris were good in it.
Turkeys. Good example of sketches that give SNL a bad name. Not funny.
Bill Clinton. Bill is a horndog. Wow, is this tired, lazy and not funny. Embarrassingly bad.
NBC is also providing an address by Rahm Emanuel as a Web extra. Predictable but slightly funny. I’d put it a giant step above Turkeys in the list.
So, now I’ve saved you 83 minutes of your precious time. You’re welcome.
