Aww snap, David Simms got pwned
Aww snap, David Simms got pwned
Man, I saw Jay Pharoah's stand-up act and it's very black-oriented. His comedic tastes and sensibilities probably veer too BET to mesh with the other writers in a way that produces good sketches. He does some excellent impressions of white people (He did Matthew McC, Nicolas Cage, and Arnold Schwarzenegger at my show)
Well, they have 6 girls and they usually only have 3 or 4 so I'm pretty sure Noel was bought in as a contingency plan in case Nassim leaves or they have to let Aidy go (which I feel like they should, she's not really showing any range outside of the valley girl character). Nassim was very close to being picked up for…
I don't think anyone pre-1995 cameos anymore. The producers figure that the audience wouldn't recognize someone like Julia Sweeney or Kevin Nealon but interestingly enough I thought I saw Ellen Cleghorne as Kenan's wife in a sketch tonight.
In a year where nearly every recognizable star left the show, they desperately need Kenan on for at least another year, just so it doesn't look like 30 Rock has been taken over by amateur night at the UCB. He started on SNL one year after Fred, so it's not gonna be that awkward if he stays on as long.
No, I think historically being the WU anchor nueters you a little as a sketch actor. Strong's vapidness has been contained unless they switch up the WU anchors again
I think Nasim will be ok. She has skill sets that no other woman on the cast does (good characters), IMO, so they're not gonna be stupid and waste them
The losses of Fred, Jason, and Bill are really acutely felt as evidenced by the only veteran the writers feel confident in is Taran, so he's in every sketch now.
I'm glad that they didn't do a lot of recurring sketches. I think the five new white guys will take a while to tell apart: Mike's the ugly one (who's inexplicably dating Cecily Strong), Kyle's the floppy-haired Andy Samberg look alike, the other three are hard to tell apart, although there's a major height difference…
It can't be that simple or Graciella would have been dead long ago. There must be some revenge killing or comeuppance to whoever kills the big honcho as a safeguard measure. I imagine cesar and charlotte are in danger
man, you guys are raining down on jim carrey hard. i thought he was a favorite of pretentious art house types like you guys b/c of eternal sunshine, truman show, man on the moon, etc
that's funny because me and my friends used to be fond of the term AILF to describe a very attractive aunt in our circle of friends
I really don't think Charlotte is that unattractive. I also don't think he's a serial cheater or a sex-a-holic or anyhing like that. Wasn't it implied that he's only wavered twice before?
also, how did that schlubby guy know that Alma would go for him. he seemed so out of his league when he tried to kiss her
i confess i don't even know what broadchurch is. too much tv to keep up with in this golden age
I took a vacation to LA and one of the only places I got to see downtown was the Bradbury building. It's a little smaller than the photography shows but an awesome place to check out
Some counterpoints to this review:
1. I think parodying the superhero genre is enough of a genre by this point that you can't singularly blame this one for being a tired idea. Sky High, Hancock, Incredibles, Kick Ass, Stan Lee's reality show, and a few others come to mind
2. Super Speed isn't that overused. It's not…
haha, no, but i once contacted him on facebook. he looked different. as far as i'm concerned, sean oneal is the only handsome guy on staff. erik adams is less handsome than i pictured too.
I think it could be argued that Sean O'Neal's the only remotely decent looking guy among the AV Club staff. Also, I'm a straight-guy
That's what Todd van der Werff looks like? I never would have guessed
