SNL

[AK47bp]

I almost wrote "Even carrot top is funnier, and that's a pretty low bar." DC just isn't remotely funny to me.

As far as Gallagher, I worked at Safeway one summer in college and he chose my line for checkout, with 3 carts full of watermelons and stuff. So that was sort of fun, or something.

Fixed it for ya. He’s funny, you just don’t think he’s funny. Comedy is subjective.


People think Picasso is a great artist, I think he sucks, but that doesn’t make him a bad artist.

People who say SNL USED to be funny are the people SNL is now making fun of. SNL used to make fun of marginalized groups. Now SNL makes fun of old people and especially rednecks

Yeah, fair. Watched that Prince thing, not even a chuckle from me. His humor clearly doesn't do a thing for me.

Picasso is the greatest artist of all time, though.

SNL has always gone through funny and unfunny stages

You don't find this funny? https://youtu.be/hLOw_SzkRQ8 something is wrong with your humor circuits, if so.

That one is a little better. Not funny, but at least mildly amusing

If Dave doesn't do it for you, who do you find humorous? Do Carlin, Murphy, or Pryor generate a laugh?

You just told us you are a Hannah Gadsby fan without telling us you are a Hannah Gadsby fan.

Of course, they're funny. I would struggle to think of any famous comedian other than DC that doesn't make me laugh at least occasionally.

It's kinda odd that y'all are posting sketches that Dave AND Neal Brennan probably wrote together. That dude gets so little credit. Dave's delivery is solid because he practices so much. Personally I think Brennan has a better, darker sense of humor. Dave's most controversial sketches are from Brennan's mind.

I usually laugh at the drunk retired porn star ads but the big hats skit was pretty stupid.

I do like how they save the stuff they're not all that sure about until after Weekend Update. The later skits are usually hit or miss and rarely really good.

LMAO!!! The odds are quite strong that your intuition is correct on this one.

Yup. Recently watched Brennan’s 2 stand up specials on Netflix. Blocks and 3 Mics.

Highly recommend.

Didn’t realize how hard he suffers from depression but it seems to fuel his hilarity somehow.

Not all episodes are bangers. Sometimes a wolf and leg warmers have to save the day from pedo humor.

Comedy is subjective.

In general, it's not. Please don't empower the people with bland humor, they deserve to be ridiculed and scorned.

[californiagrown]

Chapelle and Carlin are/were the greatest because they both are incredibly funny, but also have razor sharp wit discussing and undressing the pressing societal issues of the time. As Seinfeld said, chappelle just hops in the arena and dodges lasers for 60 minutes and kills while doing it. Its really cool to watch and listen to.

[Tele 'til You're Smelly]

the extended monologue was great because it took me a good 5 minutes to start enjoying it, but then I was hooked. That condensed the rest of the show a bit which maybe made it seem like there were more ads (as a DVR user I don't really notice though)

Seems to be true for quite a few comedians.

Egads, Carlin is a genius and is in another league than Chappelle

Not really, but it’s a stupid comparison to make since they’re almost too different to compare. Chappelle is a stand up comic, and an amazing one at that, while Carlin is an artist who worked in comedy. Dave goes for laughs and gets laughs (if we can forget about that last special). Carlin delivered a very crafted/scripted message and got laughs along the way.

You could watch a Carlin show and not laugh for minutes at a time, but still appreciate the wit and intelligence behind the commentary. He had some genius/groundbreaking bits, but he also put out something like 20 albums, a lot of which are completely unremarkable. I find Chappelle to be consistently funnier, but he’s a bit more lowbrow and aiming at a broader audience.

Colin Jost and Michael Che swapping jokes & roasting each other is peak SNL. The current era weekend update is as good if not better than ever.

Seriously. At least not associated with. Everyone’s a critic.

Agreed. Norm has been my favorite but when I ignore the nostalgia factor i might give it to them instead. The joke swaps are great.

[Ted Striker]

I like how they aren't warning the audience anymore for the extra wtf level.

[BmillsSkier]

A top 10 Weekend Update list would spur many arguments, seeing as that we can't universally agree that Dave is great.
