I mean it’s an entire subplot in The Other Guys, which is consistently funny but damn far from original.  Plus I agree with others’ observation that Day has gotten better-looking the longer he’s been on the cast.

It’s the third time. First with Margot Robbie, second with Jennifer Lopez. This version was by far the worst. And they gave the host nothing to do.

Yes, the Matt Schatt sketch is a repeat of the Margot Robbie sketch, and not as well executed. 

Even if they’re not funny, they’re still dogs, so I for one am always rooting for them. If they come out with a bunch of crazy energy, that’s adorable. If they’re anxious and trembly (or rigid with fear), that’s also adorable plus my heart goes out to them. And if they actually do what they’re supposed to do, they’re

As my wife and I were watching the show, she thought it was a repeat b/c of both the Matt Shat Game show sketch (didn’t they do that sketch already w/ Margot Robbie a few years back, right? She’s hot, he’s not and everyone is stunned) and the Lisa from Temecula sketch just didn’t work this time b/c really the only

Am I the only one who doesn’t get Ego as a performer? I feel like she’s always fumbling her lines.

My favorite part of the episode was Sarah Sherman antagonizing Colin Jost.

Yeah, that’s the very simple reason the Lisa from Temecula sketch wasn’t as funny this time -- Pedro Pascal broke completely and de Armas mostly kept it together. Not much more complicated than that. 

I just don’t think the salad-tossing matched the crazy energy of the frantic, table-quaking tough-steak-cutting of the first sketch, and I don’t know if they’re going to come up with a basic physical activity that can be as funny. Lisa’s other quirks were kind of the dressing on the main joke that was the relentless

Sarah Sherman finding new ways to demonize Colin Jost is something I did not realize I needed in my life.

The only thing that made me laugh was the dog sketch because dogs are funny and don’t do what the actors want them to do.   Which is entirely why they put these sketches in.   They are easy laughs and I’m an easy mark. 

My favorite part of the episode was Sarah Sherman antagonizing Colin Jost. Unlike Lisa from Temecula, that premise will never not be funny to me.

Now playing

Will Ferrell and Molly Shannon did a much better dog sketch back in the day, Dog Show. The dogs didn’t have to do anything but wear stupid costumes.

I don’t know where that B grade came from, this was a C at best. Album Recording Session was the only decent sketch. Everything else was bad. And the actual text of the review seems to agree! Ana De Armas was cute and competent. But the writing...

Completely agreed on the Traffic Altercation sketch - initial appearance was of a very basic sketch but it got progressively better with a very much stuck landing.

I actually really liked the midwife sketch. I enjoyed the absurd premise, Bowen’s catty acting, the unexpected time jumps, and use of wigs. I laughed so hard at his ridiculously long hair in the final scene. I can understand the sketch being divisive but it’s great they’re doing some more out there stuff.

I thought this episode was a lot funnier than that Jenna Ortega show, which IIRC got the same grade.

Ok, I want to hear everyone’s opinions on this.

I would watch a movie of James Austin Johnson doing Donald Trump. I love it that much.

Being mostly unfamiliar with Lil Yachty I was happy to see his music is the union of hip hop and yacht rock his name suggests.
