[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I normally really enjoy Mulaney's standup but I found last night's episode very so-so. Some funny moments but nothing that really stood out. A lot of it felt like a rehash of stuff he's done before, but less funny. And I really dislike when they go hard on the "lots of celebrity cameos" stuff like they did with the 5-timers club. It's cheap and not actually entertaining. Like "Conan O'Brien walks in" is not actually a joke and is only funny if you are the sort of simpleton who is really entertained by "Oh my gosh that's Conan O'Brien! Haha he's said funny things in the past so I'll laugh reflexively now!" Like it's cheap and boring.

Even his monologue was a lot of rehashing of jokes he's told recently on other TV appearances.

My favorite SNL moment of this season is when Peyton Manning did that "Emily in Paris" thing on Update. That was hilarious. Otherwise it's been pretty mediocre.[/quote]

Wooah. Are you me?  Agree w/ everything you said.

I just bought Mulaney stand up tix. Hope I don’t regret going bc I’ll have seen it all before on late night TV![/quote]

My friends and I saw Mulaney at city winery in nyc last year. He told some of the same stories/jokes in his SNL monologue, but just brief snippets. FWIW, it was a really great stand up performance and was quite long - my guess is that you won’t regret going (and I’m not exactly a Mulaney super fan).

The subway churros skit cracked me up. I take the F train to work, and almost every day I mutter to myself about getting effed by the f train. And you never know what the train it’ll be - the E or the N/R might show up, too - and you never know where the heck it will stop next. And it’s been wild on the trains recently with the cold weather - a few weeks ago a man who had been sleeping on the train popped up and suddenly started screaming at everyone that he needed water, and a woman on the train screamed back at him to quit it “because there’s children here!” (there were no kids in the car, but it didn’t seem prudent to point that out). Then she started beating him with her giant golf umbrella until he ran out of the car. We all just sat there. My friend calls the F train “the hobo express” since the seats are long benches that are convenient for sleeping, so there will often be at least one person stretched out sleeping in each car when it’s cold out.  Anyway, I was laughing out loud at that skit! I assume they were picking on the F train because it stops at Rockefeller Center, so many of the cast/crew may have to take it to work. (Though I have never seen churros for sale on the F train platform; only the 7).[/quote]

I wonder what people in non-NYC or non-East coast areas think of this show since it’s so NYC focused. That’s a bit of what I love about it, and it’s also sometimes annoying. New Yorkers sometimes think the world revolves around New York. [/quote]

Sometimes is the only wrong word in this statement.

Haha! I was trying to be nice. 😜[/quote]
