Did anyone catch the 30 minute weekend update SNL last night? If this is any indication of what SNL still is, I'll be running away from my television on saturday nights. It was absolutely terrible. They opened up with a 12 minute bit about the 2nd debate. I didn't crack a smile the entire time. It was completely unfunny and whats worse is that it kept going and going and going. Then the snarky weekend update with pohler and that other guy started. I think out of the 15-20 stories they covered, I laughed once. The black economy guy (that actor has never been funny the entire time he's been on that - keenan? wayne? something like that) and the Hall and Oates bits were equally bad.

 

I dunno, maybe I'm getting old. I just don't find anything they do as even remotely funny.

I laughed pretty much the ENTIRE half hour last night.

 

Bill Murray? C'mon. Hahah

I'd have to agree. Absolutely brutal.

Athlete's almost always SUCK.

 

Peyton Manning was actually one of the best ones. There were a bunch of great sketches in his episode. Johnny Mosely was also kinda good.

 

The hosts that are the best are people with stage experience in their past. Because it's basically live theater. And for some reason, British people always rock haha

I agree, athlete's for an entire show usually suck, but there have been classic skits. The Joe Montana "I'm going upstairs to masturbate" sketch and the Wayne Gretzky Hawaian Hockey sketch make me laugh after many viewings

Supposedly Marky saw the skits on YouTube and was so pissed off about them he is refusing to ever go on the show again.

Yikes. Talk about overreacting. Not like Wahlberg makes good movies anyway that he would need to promote.

 

Keep producing Entourage.

Not to mention he is giving SNL free promos and using the South Park formula to get people to watch the show

 

Controversy+pissed off people=high ratings.

What a douche. It's not even like they were insulting him.

 

It was just a funny impression, and he was talking to animals, who cares? Haha

Some people want to eat you but I just want to talk to you!

I'm not sure on the timelines of his reactions, but if this is recent, sounds like one of his people got to him and told him to cool out

Jeez talk about overreacting.

 

Wahlberg is now not as cool as he was a week ago.

Wahlberg is forever cool. If they had done a skit that made sense instead of him talking to animals, it might have been actually funny.

Um, I'm pretty sure Wahlberg was joking.

I didn't realize Mark Wahlberg posted in here.

Maybe, but if so, he was less funny than the sketch.

Eh, the 'ef' bombs were kinda silly, but I thought he was a good sport.

Wahlberg making an appearance on SNL.

That was great though I'm pretty sure none of the audience watched last week's episode.

It was good until they had him talk to a donkey. It was good talking to Poehler and Brolin.

 

"You were in Goonies, right? I produce Entourage."

Because I think an SNL skit is dumb, besides the Palin stuff SNL is horrible now anyways.

Yeah, that skit has really fallen off in its three skit storyline arc. Way back in the day it was much better

His appearance on SNL this weekend makes everything moot. He was funny re-enacting it while talking to the donkey.

That was funnier than the original skit.
