So while SNL has been less than watchable in the last few years, I have been promoting the shit out of this new season. The cast is solid! (Minus a few losers)
Soooo, Dana Carvey gets the hosting gig this weekend, I'm thinking, "why, what has this asshat done recently, or in the last 10 years for that matter to deserve the highly coveted gig of SNL host? It isn't that I dislike the guy. I don't. He just hasn't done dick since he left SNL. Wayne's World movies. And some bullshit films that were so bad, I see why he has been hiding for so long. (He should be ashamed)
The show begins with a cold open of Wayne's World, Mike Myers in tow. I think the idea was to get every one's dicks hard at the thought of a new WW skit after we have been deprived for so long. WRONG! It was like running into an old crush you knew 17 YEARS AGO and now they are old as fuck! Made my penis soft!
Monologue, same shit. Him talking about his old cast, how great they were, Jon Lovitz made an appearance, which was a pleasant surprise. That should sum that up. Lovitz=pleasant.
To be continued, sick and sleepy.
I'm back, I still can't hear anything. Finally a use for that CC button.
While I am not an old crotchety maid yet. After watching this episode I can see how the younger crowd watching might think, "who the fuck is this Dana Carvey?' And maybe, "in what era did parents name their male sons Dana".
I'm pretty sure the first sketch kicked it off with the Church Lady. Talk of the devil in current, popular culture. This would include the Kardashian sisters, Snooki, and Justin Bieber.
The Kardashians were pretty accurate. I am a huge fan of the guy who plays Snooki, ha. Talk of Charlie Sheen, "One and a Half Men and a Whore Monger"- mah.
Here comes Justin Bieber. Way to play ball Justin. There is no way this fetus is familiar with any Carvey material. The Roommate sketch with Andy Sandberg, not total shit. Sandberg always delivers.
More sketches, Dana as Mickey Rooney. Really?
The rest of the show is just not funny. I have to assume the cast likely tried to sway him to be a part of the new, popular sketches. It's like a commission. We don't succeed unless you do! It was obvious he pushed his old characters into the mix.
Where the fuck was Lorne Michaels in all of this. Isn't he supposed to be the quintessential asshole in all of this, putting his foot down, telling that washed up shorty, "I'm doing you a huge solid here, Garth and church lady is all you've got. Let us take it from here." Lorne...
The guy is trying to relive his glory days. I can appreciate that. But, it's been way too long sweetheart. Nobody gives a shit anymore and your old shtick is way outdated.
It really was a travesty of a show, I didn't even bring up the Regis and Kelly skit. Shit show, all around.
Take a cue from your buddy Mike Myers.... Do some animated crap that warrants sequels, make a stupid amount cash, and don't show your face in this town again. Love you!
