You think fat white people don’t like watching monkey fights? You don’t know fat white people.

Agreed. Slumming, work-for-hire Spike is... okay, maybe not the best Spike (he did direct Do The Right Thing, after all) but definitely one of the more consistent Spikes, recently.

Hah, someone ripping off an Image comic book character...yeah, that’s ironic.

Besides being a D-List Marvel Universe character, the Nightwatch character is most notorious for being a blatant ripoff of Spawn.

I thought so too. Like he was going to think he was in a situation from Get Out only to find out his girlfriend’s parents are just really nice people. I’m really happy they did what they did

I agree. This was the best of the season by far. Don’t like Perkins’ hedging with the B+ and criticism of multiple sketches for relatively minor transgressions. I would’ve gone to the A minus. There wasn’t a single outright bad sketch, which itself lifts this above 99% of all SNL eps ever. In addition to the outright…

what I liked about that skit is that it could have so easily been one of those skits that somehow touches upon race and yet, it had absolutely nothing to do with race. It went exactly where I didn’t think it would go

It was also actually ending the sketch on a funny note. A problem with a LOT of SNL sketches is that they sort of just get dragged on and then peter off, it’s nice when they actually end on a decent one-liner.

I like when he turned at the end and asked what he did wrong. I’ve seen that happen to many folks.

Brown was far better than Chastain, but I get what you’re saying.

Maybe it’s me, but the mueller sketch seemed like exactly the sketch they’d do if lorne or someone was told they were being too harsh on trump.

Things you didn’t expect to return:

Didn’t expect Vanessa to bring back Dawn Lazarus so unexpectedly, but goddamn, was I giddy with excitement to see her back on my screen.

More like Stranger Danger Things!

I’m beginning to wonder if I died sometime in mid 2016 and the last year and a half has been 10 seconds of my  brain releasing hallucinogenic endorphins to keep me distracted as my body shuts down

Deep cut. Well-played.

And yet oddly enough, my favorite L&O episodes come from Criminal Intent: Cherry Red, about the obsessed car collector, The Saint, featuring an incredibly rare dramatic turn by Stephen Colbert (!), and Salome in Manhattan, which was a really powerful episode about talent and privilege.

Honest question: why, do you suppose, has this version of L&O survived, while others, including the original incarnation, have long since been cancelled? Personally, SVU was my least favorite series of the group, so it has always struck me as odd that it has proven to have the greatest longevity.

Title of movie is big spoiler.
