Mikesgirl1 Posted May 21, 2004 Share Posted May 21, 2004 Good for Him! a string of crappy movies to follow! He was funny but not as funny as Will Ferrell... SNL hasn't recovered from losing Will. They need a strong figure in there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shamrock Posted May 21, 2004 Share Posted May 21, 2004 This show sucks so badly. Actually last time I watched it a new skit called Debbie Downer was on. Pretty funny. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wild Card Posted May 21, 2004 Share Posted May 21, 2004 Losing Ferrell killed SNL. He was the last remaining guy from SNL's string of awesomeness: Myers, Carvey, Rock, Schneider, Sandler, Farley, Spade, Hartman, and a million others I'm surely missing from the 90's.

Passion Posted May 21, 2004 Share Posted May 21, 2004 It is losing its juice...the only part worth watching now will be the beautiful Tina Fey and weekend update.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nc marlin Posted May 21, 2004 Share Posted May 21, 2004 He always ruined the skits by giggling at the funny parts(not that they were any good in the first place.) I also liked Tracy Morgan. I thought the show with Al Sharpton hosting was pretty funny but the rest of this season sucked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Accord Posted May 21, 2004 Share Posted May 21, 2004 Ever since Tracy Morgan and Will Ferrel left, it's been absolutely terrible. The show is just horrible and the writers of all these skits are the worst writers on TV. Almost all the skits seem like they're thrown together at the last minute like they're just trying to just waste time and get through the show, not even funny at all. SNL is about as fun as watching C-SPAN. It's like they have too much time but not enough material to fill the time slot, so they just find ways to prolong already awful skits and waste time. MadTV is the new hotness.

FutureGM Posted May 23, 2004 Share Posted May 23, 2004 I stopped watching SNL this season, I just couldn't take it anymore. Yes, it certainly died when Ferrell left. He was a genius at that sort of thing. The others have very little talent, and I never liked Chris Kattan either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Fritz Posted May 23, 2004 Share Posted May 23, 2004 I chose the last one. Jimmy Fallon sucks and having him laugh during every skit makes the skit unfunny because he misses a bunch of lines and sounds really idiotic when he's supposed to come across as serious but is laughing like an idiot.

MVPosey Posted May 23, 2004 Share Posted May 23, 2004 the problem is with SNL is that people just use it as a stepping stone nowadays. Back in the day, all the SNL greats were known for doing SNL, so they did it a long time. Now all the best people are there shortly. Fallon would be good if he didn't start cracking up in every skit. The bad thing is now Weekend Update is stuck with TIna Fey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â did you just think of that or have you heard that somewhere? it sounds like one of those oft-plagiarized good points that people toss around often.

Buckeye Posted May 24, 2004 Share Posted May 24, 2004 Fallon was about as funny as a twelve year old girl can be. I haven't been a fan since they got away from the actual GOOD CAST format. It used to be SNL had four, maybe five, funny people on the cast. This show generally has one per season since the ladt great cast (I'm guessing the Hartman, Sandler, Farley, Spade, Kevin Nealon days). Also, how can anyone name Chris Rock as being HILARIOUS on SNL. He didn't do much. Only skit he ever had was that black reactionary talk show. He had MAYBE that one season where he was gold. but he didn't do anything BESIDES that skit. I think they should pick up Ryan Stiles. He wouldn't go for it, though. He's probably too good for scripted material. As much as I used to hate him on the show, I miss Norm MacDondald, too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The bad thing is now Weekend Update is stuck with TIna Fey I diagree with this. About 50% of those cases those people couldn't do anything BUT SNL (Dana Carvey for instance). And Mike Meyers didn't do anything before Austin Powers hit. He had Waynes World, Waynes World 2, then five years of nothing and he hit "comedy gold" with the first Austin Powers movie. I wouldn't be surprised if Darryl Hammond won't be able to do anything but SNL. I've seen him host live and on Conan and he's about as dry as toast. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well I do believe Chris Kattan is "always" a gay guy. Kattan was good for one thing... GAY SPEED SKATING HITLER!!!! The funniest thing on SNL in years, and they never developed it. IMO, Hammond is a + b/c of his impressions. Fey is head writer, so she stays too. Amy Poehler is decent, and so is Horation Sanz, but the rest have to go. I especially hate Maya Rudolph. She's worthless. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Moneyball Posted June 1, 2004 Share Posted June 1, 2004 SNL sucks it is so boring and not funny. Mad TV a couple seasons ago was the funniest stuff on TV. but then like SNL madTV lost their stars and replaced them with crap. i'll stick to my "Whose line is it anyway?"
