Man, I thought you were going to write a glowing review of the show. Sure, SNL is stale due to their restrictive writing requirements, but this episode was fucking great. I have never laughed out loud so many times during a show as I did with this one. I think everyone is way too excited to jump on the “I hate SNL” bandwagon and too judgmental to even enjoy some great sketches. There was the ever-present problem of ending the sketches strangely, but it’s due to the demographic they’re shooting for. There wasn’t one sketch where I thought it was a waste of time.

And yeah, Jim Carrey is Jim Carrey. He does Jim Carrey best, his sense of humor has always balanced on seeming desperate. I, personally, respect him a lot for continuing to do what he thinks is funny, and let’s face it, the only reason so many people have a problem with him is the same reason why people turn against other successful comedians like Eddie Murphy (Dr Dolittle aside), Robin Williams, and Will Ferrell – you get used to their humor. It’s too formulaic. Complaining about Jim Carrey acting like himself is ridiculous. Given, he definitely could have said lines like the straight man without injecting so much of his absurdity into it. But then again, don’t you think that’s probably how he talks in real life?

Most importantly, he sold every single scene he was in. If effort is what you’re looking for in a guest, this guy nailed it. And frankly, he didn’t even have to care. His career may not be heading anywhere, but that guy is sitting on millions.

“(we all know why…….lol)”

yup. all of us craigslisters and a-listers know why.

Really well-said. Nothing witty from me right now.

As a fellow Wisconsinite, I can vouch that we DO have some gorgeous women though!

you’re nuts!!

i watch it every year. it is terrible. i love it so much.

This is the “Hulkamaniac” video. Please watch it.

KUATO! I’m going to pull half a burnt babydoll through a nude bodysuit, then wear normal clothes.

I’d think this too, but Paul Brittain is from Chicago and came up with Sex Ed years ago for his solo show. Plus, he has an affinity for mustaches, which is probably why they hired him after Forte left. Aside from him being awesome, of course.

I liked this typo: “But now his life leaves him.”

ugh i did not know that. this makes me very upset.

how did they keep abbie elliott but ditch jenny slate?

ALSO. okay i realize this post is a few days after the fact, and that no one will read this probably (post-week’s best comments), but if i don’t make this list i will lose my mind. i traveled through india this year, and can NEED to say the following (my roommates aren’t home):

1. there are regular, American/Japanese cars on the road. not just autorickshaws.
2. way to rip off your own joke about assistant managers, NBC.
3. indians speak almost perfect english. they are also aware of “things americans say”
4. not all indians abstain from eating cows. although a vast majority do, in my experience, many don’t. one family i stayed with made beef curry.
5. this guy seriously didn’t even do a lonely planet read-through on his long flight to the place he moved to? really? not even wikitravel? never tried indian food EVER?
6. you don’t need to ship smuckers in, dude. they have fucking grocery stores.
7. “aren’t all these workers kind of the same.”
8. i’m pretty sure indians are aware of the fact that americans date around…
9. jingle fucking jugs. jingle fucking jugs. oh god.
10. man, at least he ate his food with his right hand at the end.
