At this point, I think Sarah's putting her hand over her mouth was "her character is horrified by the antics of the stripper's pregnant wife" and more "trying to hide her breaking character and laughter."

Not a bad epsiode, but I think I noticed at least 6 product placement skits.

You're not counting the Southwest one as a product placement skit, right? Cuz I'm pretty sure Southwest didn't request that one. Pretty solid episode overall; the car dealership commercial sketch in particular had this weird energy I really liked. Surprisingly, I felt like the Sarah Sherman sketch at the beginning was a bit of a letdown; beyond the weird prosthetics, there just didn't seem to be all that much there.

With the cast culling, I feel like the newbies get more time, and by that I mean I've seen them.

Episode seems pretty rough. Most of the skits ground to a screeching halt when Jordan came on.

I really liked the morning show skit with Sarah, that would've been an S-tier skit if it wasn't for the awkward inclusion of Andrew Dismukes. And the State Farm horror movie was great but dragged a little too long. But nothing else stood out or felt memorable to me, just felt like a ton of product placement skits.

I don't know which I find weirder. That Capcom commissioned an SNL sketch to promote Street Fighter 6, or that Capcom must have had to approve the final script and were fine with it being pretty much a gay joke.

There is a tl;dr at the end, but I'm showing my work too. April 25 2016, GreenNight breaks the news in the SNL thread about original sponsored content. GreenNight posted:Hmm. From that AV Club report— quote:Saturday Night Live to have fewer ads, more sponsored sketches In October 2016 the new format for the show was unveiled, and I wrote about it in that season's OP, which was that 4.5 minutes of commercial time was being eliminated and returned to the show. pwn posted:First, last April, it was announced that, starting this season, there would be a 30% reduction in commercials on SNL. Having checked the timings for tonight's show, that initial estimate was somewhat off. FYI my "legible" chart is much less so against a dark bg, like that in the Awful App in night mode. Later that season, in February 2017, AdWeek published this report. I have reproduced it in its entirety, thanks to Google's cache, as it is paywalled. quote:After SNL’s Highest Ratings in 6 Years, NBC Prepares the Show's First Branded Content Spots Ever since S42 began, I and the larger SNL community, including this thread, has made something of a game of guessing which bits are sponsored. Over in the That Week in SNL Discord forum/chat thing (wtf is a "server"? I'm not calling a forum a server), this subject came to a boil Monday, with posters like myself wondering why there hasn't been transparency (i.e. "promotional consideration by..." credits at the end of the show) about the supposed "original sponsored content", and eventually Jon Schneider, founder of the SNL Network, chimed in. I am reproducing a limited number of his posts and some replies for context. As he reported this news (and hopefully he does so in a more widespread way, either on Twitter or in an upcoming podcast), I'm using Jon Schneider's name in these. The other replies I'm not using names, despite the forum being open to join (I think you need an invite? Not sure) and the quoted people either being hosts of, or guests on podcasts (and using their names on the Discord forum), I felt it best to not name them. Jon Schneider posted:Hey friends, not to stir up the convo from yesterday but just so you know the whole SNL sponsored sketch thing never materialized. They have not done one sponsored sketch ever quote:But seriously, I thought they did do at least that one sketch that was sponsored by Apple Jon Schneider posted:Lol I did ask and was told flat out no its never happened quote:That's interesting. So they said they were going to do that and never did - so why is the runtime of the show a couple minutes longer now (which was supposed to be the tradeoff for the addition of branded content)? Jon Schneider posted:My assumption is one of the producers (like Ken Aymong) who usually dealt with NBC simply asked for longer runtime from the network and financially it made sense quote:Huh. Bit weird, innit? I mean, now the show's going to be accused of brand-pandering forevermore due to this initiative they announced/promoted but never followed through on. Krazy. Jon Schneider posted:Ya truth is they've had plenty of ideas of the years they haven't followed through on, this just happens to be one that gets brought up every now and then quote:Righto. Personally speaking, the whole cast can be covered in corporate logos like NASCAR drivers for all I care; all that matters is that the material is, y'know, *funny*. All other concerns are secondary at best. So there you go. SNL does not, nor has it over the past 7 seasons, air sponsored original content. It was just another SNL idea that never came to fruition, like every Vintage being an Emmy-submitted ep (which rather quickly gave way to using whatever episode they wanted). I felt it important to report this here, to help correct the record going forward. TL;DR: There are no sponsored sketches, nor have there been.

Also while digging in the April 2016 thread I found this from when the Prince tribute ep airedpwn posted:They put phone camera footage on national television for six minutes. And I remark on how much we got cell phone content on national television for most of 2020-2021.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MVXN85TJabg Remarkable. This was one I was sure was sponsored, it's fully family-friendly and drat-near comes off with that schmaltz of those "Happy Mother's Day/Merry Christmas from SNL" pretapes from the past few years. I actually feel angry that it wasn't an ad. Well, basically family-friendly: i had no problem seeing Macy's PR being hip with a bit of edge.

I remember there was a thing a few years back where SNL took down one of their brand parody sketches because the brand (Safelite?) was unhappy with how they were portrayed. I assumed at the time it was because there was some kind of product placement agreement, but I guess SNL did it just to be nice?

Street Fighter was definitely paid for, but I loved it so whatever. Meeow. State Farm would be weird as a paid sketch because they showed a bunch of other competitors. Southwest doesn't seem like it's remotely good branding. And is the the Toyota one paid by the restaurant then? Since it keeps on going about how good it is.

Thundercracker posted:Southwest doesn't seem like it's remotely good branding. No, but a friend of mine is a Flight Attendant for Southwest, and she says it's all they've been talking about since Saturday night. So at least the Flight Attendants think it's hilarious. I imagine management does not.

I PMed a mod about getting the thread title updated but sadly it has not come to pass. If someone reading this has those buttons at their avail and deigns to do so, please update it as follow:quote:SNL48 #4! Aubrey Plaza/Sam Smith, Michael B. Jordan, Pedro Pascal/Coldplay And before we get to tonight's show, I managed to locate the cast shots from last week's Wednesday read through that NBC never posted to Twitter. They're a bit on the lower side of resolution but they are higher res than what we had before. Oh yes and enjoy this brief BtS on Sarah's dental spreader bit https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d8496Q8xVjI Tonight! Yes they did it again. Just like last year, they had a block of shows that went from late January into early February, and like last year, the February ep was not announced until late in the run. This poo poo is why I've taken to just giving the season's threads numbers rather than months. Hype promo https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TIX0q2qANks Pedro Pascal of course plays the Mandalorian, and he's in the show that every human on Earth won't shut the gently caress up about, The Last of Us, which I finally relented and queued up. It joins Poker Face, 1619, Shrinking, White Lotus, Tulsa King, and 1,032 other shows and movies that I have yet to watch. Tuesday promo https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L0sbb36ou-E I gather a Clicker is a mutated person that vexes the last of them But it has a happy ending https://youtube.com/shorts/vOgqQGBc6Js And Coldplay... you know. I spent much of the last two decades sneering at Coldplay, but their appearance on kimmel last week warmed me up to him. Still not a favourite or anything but life's too short to have that much dislike for an earnest and talented performer. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=34ayrkjcWao As for what they may play tonight, word is the second track is a throwback. As they were never on for A Rush of Blood to the Head, maybe it will be Clocks, or another deeper cut from the first couple albums. Or Yellow for a third time 🙃* Fuckin Wednesday read through! Now with cast photos! And of course, Thursday promos... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z7Sqe8Qoplk But wait! There is a promo that isn't in that reel, that's been airing for the last day. Here it is, along with the air version of the Tuesday promo, which has an alternate take at the end. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p2bMTXJpBK0 Tonight's Vintage is the first episode of the century: Jamie Foxx with Blink-182 from January 8 2000. Depending on when you define a century's first and last year. If 2001 is the first year of the 21st century, then the first ep was Charlie Sheen with Nelly Furtado from January 13 2001. Anyway. Jamie Foxx tonight. And that's it. Wow an actual post, will the thread generate more than one page of chat tonight?? Probably not!

Tonight's SNL Classic has Blink 182. I just heard them do "All The Small Things," a song my dad band does, and... just wow, you can tell when someone is doing something live. Or, if they're painstakingly lip-syncing to a recording made purposefully to sound live. The pitchy singing, the little improvisations, the skipping of the first "na na" so you can finish the last syllable of the pre-chorus... it's imperfect, and it's wonderful.

Make fun of me if you want, but Parachutes, A Rush of Blood to the Head, and X&Y were the albums that got me through college and I still think almost every song is an absolute banger so I am pretty hype for this. Coldplay also puts on amazing live shows, so hopefully they bring that fire to the stage tonight!

I'm not making fun of you. I shan't do that. I'm a musician and a guy who studied music in college so much that he ended up working for an insurance company. I love prog rock and prog metal, and classical music, and a lot of crazy stuff. But I love pop punk and all that bullshit music that's easy to play. Do you have a I-V-VI-IV song? YES! So I loved hearing Blink 182 tonight. Bring on Coldplay. Hell, I'll also listen to Nickelback. But not this brand new stuff, because I've been St. Angere'd once before.
