Did my weekly check of finances and saw a $1600 charge to Herman Miller that I didn't make on my credit card. Cool cool, definitely something I wanted to deal with this week!

SunshineDanceParty posted:Yeah there was Ladies Man in 2000 and MacGruber in 2010 and that's been in it. The 90's were the only period in SNL's history when they made a bunch. It’s good that they stopped. Imagine how excruciating the Californians movie would be

I feel like this current batch of SNL performers/writers aren’t really doing much with regards to recurring characters. Pete Davidson does the Chad skits but there’s no way that carries a 90 minute movie; most of the other recurring bits I can think of are either imitations of celebrities or repeating concepts, like the diner lobster sketch.

I have to admit I love the Ladies Man movie, the speech he gives before signing out and getting fired makes me laugh like a madman every time.

I'm sure it's been great for ratings and for the performers' careers while Trump was president but it doesn't leave much room for much else.

Roy Blunt isn't running for Senate again in 2022. Calling Jason Kander's shot now.

The fake ads SNL has been running recently have been pretty funny. I liked the Passive Aggressive Peloton one.

The only SNL characters I could see getting a movie is maaaaybe Kristen Wiig's Sue (the "I'm so FREAKIN excited" woman who can't keep a secret) or Bill Hader's Stefon but neither of them are current cast characters. Alternatively: make a musical based on John Mulaney's Bodega Bathroom.

The last extended Stefon skit showed that he doesn’t even really work as a short film. Id like to see them flesh out some of the weirder “ten to one” sketches.

SNL arguably helped Trump win the election in 2016 by having him host during his campaign

Bird in a Blender posted:Still can't believe they made a movie based on that skit. Since I'm thinking about it, when was the last time there was a movie based on SNL? Seemed like the 90s were full of them, but last one I can think of is MacGruber, which was from 2010. It used to be that if you got hired or promoted to being a repertory player on SNL, the standard three- or five-year contract had language that said not only did Lorne have the rights to make movies from any characters you created, but he also had dibs on producing--and taking a healthy fee from--any movie offers that came your way while you were under contract. Basically, if you were signed to SNL (again, as repertory; they don't give a poo poo about the featured players, who also get paid in peanuts and "exposure"), Lorne completely owned your existence during that time. That dynamic shifted at some point in the 2000s, and I think it was actually the Lonely Island guys who instigated that change by saying, "Wait, no, Lorne, you don't get a cut of our poo poo that has nothing to do with you just because one of your scouts discovered Samberg."

Stefon is definitely one of my "am I being gaslit by people saying they love this character so much" things in comedy.

I'll say it again: most SNL skits are mediocre to bad, but usually you'll get 1-2 good ones per episode with maybe 1 a season hitting the legendary status. This has been the case for almost every season, regardless of cast.

Eifert Posting posted:The bias against female chefs is much starker in Europe too. I have a close friend who spent years building up her resume traveling around specifically to work with michelin star chefs. It was constant walls and dismissal in the kitchen, and one in particular the chef's long time sous chef refused to say her name or look her in the eye her entire time there. A decade of that just killed her passion completely, and that's the only thing that'll push someone through all of that bullshit.

JPrime posted:don't forget jimmy fallon tousling trump's hair as if he were a cute little ragamuffin That is inarguably more to blame for humanizing and legitimizing Trump than SNL. When Trump hosted SNL, the RNC was still three months away from its first state primary election.

Yep - I’ll sometimes catch the Vintage episodes that air before the current episodes, and even with those being pared down to an hour you still get a fair few stinkers. I think we get unreasonable expectations sometimes, or at least I do, because I remember watching those Comedy Central reruns as a teen and laughing my rear end off, but a) kids are invariably stupid and laugh at anything and b) those are even more cherry-picked than the Vintage episodes. The writer’s room has to put together probably a dozen topical sketches, write in hosts of all sorts of varying comedic skills, and get them ready to air in under a week. It’s honestly a surprise that their hit to miss ratio is as good as it is.

Unoriginal take: the SNL you saw as a teen is what you enjoy the most & the eras when you become an adult pale in comparison.

Yeah, now they either do a mediocre remake of something with Paul Fiege or a dramady with Judd Apatow if an SNL cast member wants a film career.

Drag Brunch was also really popular when it first came out but that was his first time hosting like 5 years ago.
