[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I like it when it’s once in a while like the old Debbie downer sketch at Disney world.

I feel like last night’s with Ryan gosling was every single sketch.

Even Mikey Day, who used to keep it pretty together, has been breaking in every scene lately.

It’s just too often, and it becomes unfunny. The writing is already pretty mid, so when they break it doesn’t add to it, it just reminds me that they’re laughing at some inside joke that isn’t actually funny. [/quote]

Agree. It's one thing when the content and fellow performances are truly funny and they break. When neither are that great, it's just annoying.

I haven't seen a brilliant sketch in some time, but maybe I am pining for the old days (late 90s/early 00s) like a crotchety old lady.... [/quote]

Every generation pines for the SNL of their youth.  Mostly it’s you that has changed, the show was always kind of daft. [/quote]

We got rid of cable but my husband likes to keep the tv on, so we tune in to the weird free channels that come with our tv. One of the channels in our regular rotation is just old SNL skits 24/7.

And I’ve been forced to admit that many of the classics I remember fondly from the 80s and 90s, and the ones I’m now discovering from the 70s greats, often really weren’t all that funny. There was a lot of relying on catchphrases repeated over and over. The 70s stuff was still rough around the edges and coasted quite a bit on a sense of “look at us, aren’t we naughty.”

I stopped watching regularly somewhere in the 90s, and I’ve been surprised at how funny much of the humor since the 2000s has been. Sure, they’re only showing the best recent bits. But I imagine that’s true for all of the decades. [/quote]

That is the saddest channel of all time. [/quote]
