SNL is supposed to produce laughs?  Weird.

All hail Kroll and his glorious new regime!

@avclub-f73c955e2c1f51451a682f5c1ce0e867:disqus Actually, The Word was mostly horrible, as Evel kind of notes above.  The hosts, in particular, were grating and demeaning - the whole show had an air of shittiness about it.

I remember watching this happen live.  It was pretty damn awesome.

Congrats and good luck!

@avclub-09a0aabb73e345f3b2ad865bc4fc1b28:disqus I'm guessing a win versus that particular pitcher meant a lot to Giants fans.

I got nothing against Jeselnik, and I can definitely laugh at the guy's jokes, but he is pretty much the definition of a formulaic comedian.

Oh, British people.  They always seem to have a problem not pronouncing Houston as "Hoostin"  It's like they're concentrating so hard on pronouncing the "H" for once that they can't figure out the rest of the word.

Hey, at least they've been to the World Series more recently than their until-this-upcoming-season division rivals Brewers, Cubs, Pirates or Reds.

Dang.  Now I kind of want to see the "more of a jerk" original comment.

People here, as you can see, will blame this on cramming in leftover season 1 eps into the middle of season 2.  But all this takes into consideration is the "ruined continuity".  The one thing has that has continued in the real season 2 eps is the overall mediocrity and, yes, forced humor.

Man, somebody should've totally nuked them for all that crap.

Some of my favorites I haven't seen mentioned yet:

Man, I kind of wanted to make fun of you for repeating "Deeper Into Movies" on your second list, but that song is awesome enough to make it twice.

Man, it's the internet.  If saying "god dammit" counts as "vitriol" then I just don't know anymore.

god dammit READ "WHAT'S ON TONIGHT?" people.

Who is the Ja Rule of showrunners, then?
