The long, painful process of adoption…also not a super great source of wacky comedy.

Yeah I deleted it thinking my DVR fucked up. Now I'll know better I guess!

The DMV story was awesome. Classic Broad City.

Agreed! She's one of my favorite UCB performers, I really hope she goes on to big things.

Cruz is awful but he scares me less than Trump because he doesn't seem to inspire the same fervor that Trump does. He's pretty unlikable and isn't nearly as capable of swaying large groups of people with dangerous rhetoric like Trump is. He more or less strikes me as someone who can rile up his very specific crowd but…

Hillary Clinton is not great but she doesn't encourage her supporters to beat up black people at her rallies, she doesn't support defunding Planned Parenthood, she doesn't deny climate change, she doesn't try to repeal gay marriage. Saying she's "the GOP in disguise" is misunderstanding just how batshit the GOP has…

As a Bernie supporter, a lot of my Bernie supporting friends are saying they won't vote for Hillary in the general (they'll stay home), which terrifies me. I don't like her much but she's still 10x better than any Republican.

I took the joke to be more "she's an actual fish-human hybrid who is closer to what a mermaid would actually look like" rather than just "she's ugly."

SNL tilts left (really, almost all comedy does, except for shitty redneck stand-ups) but Obama is just not an easy person to mock. (The right-wing outrage around Obama is much more ripe for parody than anything Obama himself has ever done.) I'm sure if Marco Rubio or John Kasich were the front-runners they wouldn't be…

Trump is a terrifying threat and a very big news story right now given that someone so outrageously racist and borderline fascist is doing so well. It seems silly to not expect SNL to deal with that.

Just finished the John Early episode and there were some funny bits but it never really came together. Not feeling Zebrowski's either but I heard Natasha Rothwell's is amazing so I'll stick around.

I'm genuinely shocked at how this season has been. Easily the best since the second.

Yeah, this is the change they made to Jess way back in Season 1 that made her work. Definitely reminiscent of "Jess and Julia", which for me was the real turning point of the show when it went from being a kind of annoying show with potential to a genuinely good one.

Agreed. And Reagan really served well as the straight man to all of the ridiculousness. I hope they don't lose this dynamic now that Jess is back (who I still think is a good character but the show worked surprisingly well without her.)

Ehh that's a pretty weak excuse IMO. Trump has always been able to attract some moderate, blue collar democrats for whatever reason. (It's why he tends to do a lot better in states with open party.)

NBC has terrifyingly been doing really well this season, between having the biggest hit drama of the season (Blindspot), getting an actual comedy hit (Superstore), launching the 384th successful Chicago series, and now this. It makes me uncomfortable.

There have been a ton of successful one-season wonders lately: Casey Wilson, Jenny Slate, Micheala Watkins, Noel Wells.

Really excited for this! Natasha Rothwell is one of my favorite UCB performers so I'm really happy she's getting some recognition. And of course Lauren Lapkus and Paul W. Downs are great.

Oh my god, I can't even imagine Harmon trying to run SNL. The dude is talented and I love Community/Rick & Morty but being head of SNL means you have to deal with lots of different people and I have to assume Harmon would probably get into a fistfight with every single host.

If there's a difference between 70s/80s SNL and current SNL it's that current SNL it's that early SNL was willing to experiment more while current SNL is pretty cozy in its well-established format. So current SNL is mostly mediocre and boring when it's bad, whereas '70s/'80s SNL was awful when it was bad. I'd say…
