Ironic that the two people who found the most success post-show were the token white Canadian and one of the Fly Girls.

SNL has been doing at least a dozen skits a week for *checks notes* 49 years, but two of those were very similar to existing skits. Obviously this show is creatively bankrupt and always was and should be erased from existence. Get the gently caress out of here with this performative outrage Twitter garbage.

Charlie Day didn't even add anything to it, he was just sorta there. Classic: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eSxv6IGBgFQ

Who are fairly big musical acts or acts with a popular single to never show up on SNL when they were still popular enough to warrant getting an SNL appearance? I don't see an Amy Grant and Alannah Myles, but both seem like they would have been a shoe-in for Top 40 Radio SNL-type musical guest. Dire Straits don't seem to show up, either. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Saturday_Night_Live_episodes_(seasons_1%E2%80%9330) Some of these performers shock the hell out of me. I somehow never figured Midnight Oil and Sugarcubes would be on the show. I also struggled with a few of the performers to figure out what songs they were there to perform based on the year they appeared, having zero memory of any big hits they could be promoting.

Funky See Funky Do posted:The Rock As much as the guy kind of sucks now, he was incredible in these sketches. And also the first time he hosted back in like 1997 - I think that was the moment people really recognized that he was going to be a superstar. It's really hard to find but the 'Nicotrel' sketch is one of my favourite: It's an ad for a stop-smoking aid that's just The Rock coming to your house and beating you up if you think about smoking. It also gets fresh with your wife. "YOU DON'T TALK TO NICOTREL LIKE THAT!"

yeah I loved that episode, iirc several other WWF personalities were on it too including Mankind who was pretty funny as well. I agree it seemed pretty clear at that point that The Rock was gonna become a star.

I definitely agree with the sentiment that SNL nostalgia is strongest for whatever crew you grew up watching. I don't watch it nearly as consistently as I used to but most any time I tune in or download a noteworthy episode I have a pretty good time. Things have gotten worse (namely the unsubtle product placement, and some of the celeb cameos are a bit cringe EDIT: especially that they gave a whole episode to Elon Musk) but it's still birthing great comedy careers every few years and I can't really ask for more. We used to watch it a lot on sleepovers in like, junior high. It would have been the era with Darrell Hammond, Ana Gasteyer, Will Ferrell etc. I remember the first fake commercial I ever saw, it was some insurance company or something, played so straight but the punchline is that their website is www.clownpenis.fart. They just kept saying it, it was hilarious. Casts kind of blur together; maybe I've been consistently watching it for a bit longer than I thought but the era following that, with like Fred Armisen and Andy Samberg and Maya Rudolph also had some gems. I think this was a recurring bit, where the Vogelcheck family has a new in-law over and they discover that the family is really affectionate. Pretty sure there were like half a dozen of these, but this was the culmination: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uEbzD1bBlTQ The show is also great for the occasional major gaffe or political statement, like Elvis Costello jumping onstage 15 years after his ban to play Radio with the Beastie Boys, or Sinead O'Connor ripping up that picture of the Pope, or when Adrien Brody did something really stupid and got himself banned: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z-c-0WOyi_8 Mister Speaker fucked around with this message at 21:37 on Apr 30, 2024 |

I didn't grow up watching it. All I had were a few "best of.." SNL videos from my local video sleezy. So I don't get the hate for new seasons or nostalgia for older ones. It seems like any popular sketch comedy. Mostly it's ok with some great sketches here and there and some real duds in the mix.

Why did they let him do that? Is he such an rear end in a top hat that everyone was just loving with him and telling him how good the bit was before he did it live? lol this has got to be just after the Pianist too.

Adam Sandler would have been on the show, had the show been on TV here, but most of what I was exposed to was from the previous two eras. I would get the best of videos of comedians that I knew and liked from movies. Best of Eddie Murphy, Steve Martin, Chevy Chase, etc

also that adam sandler album he released in 1996 lives rent free in my brain bc it was technically music I listened to in my pre-teens and teens it's called 'what the hell happened to me' and it features an image of him as a child, as if he was so innocent and then went off the rail into some craaaazy poo poo, as opposed to becoming one of the most successful comedians of his generation. what the hell happened to you? you got rich, rear end in a top hat.
