Brother Glacius Posted February 16, 2015 Report Share Posted February 16, 2015 I've tried to watch it for the past few years....the random episode every now and again....but for the most part...it sucks. It sucks hard. I've watched entire shows without even a chuckle. And "live"...they shouldn't even use that word anymore. Not much of that show is live. I'll probably watch the 40 just for the hope of seeing something funny...but if not..then it will truly be the end for me. They have really lost touch. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
InfestedKerrigan Posted February 16, 2015 Report Share Posted February 16, 2015 I've felt that way since about the time Norm McDonald left. It's just been a steady downhill ride since then. Maybe I am just getting old. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Munkie Posted February 17, 2015 Report Share Posted February 17, 2015 Pretty sure the SNL writers don't think it's funny anymore. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WarlordGhrom Posted February 17, 2015 Report Share Posted February 17, 2015 Is Justin Timberlake hosting? If yes, then yes it is funny. If no, probably not though once in a while they have a good skit. I think alot of it really comes down to the host. Most the "players" need someone else to push them into the funny side... 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dashneeb Posted February 18, 2015 Report Share Posted February 18, 2015 I haven't been able to watch it since the 90's. It's pretty terrible. There are things that do come out once in a great while (for instance, the Lonely Island stuff) but for the most part it's horrendously not funny.

InfestedKerrigan Posted February 21, 2015 Report Share Posted February 21, 2015 Oh yeah, I forgot Lonely Island was SNL sketch, because I watch it on Youtube. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

generalripphook Posted February 21, 2015 Report Share Posted February 21, 2015 Its much too off an on to watch regularly which is really unfortunate. There are definitely funny scenes but other scenes where you just have to think what the he'll were they thinking when they wrote that.

Talapas Posted February 22, 2015 Report Share Posted February 22, 2015 Saturday Night Dead has been the refrain every season. Some skits kill, others are meh. It has been that way ever since it first aired. Many people see it through their rose colored glasses 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brick Bungalow Posted February 26, 2015 Report Share Posted February 26, 2015 I think it's always been this way. People sometimes want to romanticize an era as being better but it's a case of counting all the hits. The great SNL skits are great, I think precisely because of the huge risk of taping live with a non cast member. (pitch this to a theater company and see what they say) Odds are that it goes up in smoke. But when it's good it's really good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted February 28, 2015 Report Share Posted February 28, 2015 It's more music than skits these days. Don't watch if looking for skits. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
