I almost saw that one, but I missed it because onw of those damn nerds from my dad’s college had to unplug the TV so he could plug in his rock tumbler.

Absolutely right! I’m usually annoyed with the audience on a weekly basis anyway (why do they always scream for Kate McKinnon? They KNOW she’s there!) but this one was anger-inducing for me. It made me appreciate even more how blissfully silent those quarantine episodes were.

I used to live near a funeral home, and one day the sign said, “My boss told me to change the sign so I did.” I laughed for a solid five minutes; I wish I had taken a picture.

Some years back I went to a theatre production called “MacHomer,” which was a one-man show with one guy (Rick Miller) doing the cast of The Simpsons performing Macbeth. Most of his impressions were hit-or-miss, but to this day his Marge is the best I’ve ever heard, hands down.

The name thing worked for years for Tony Danza.

And Reginald VelJohnson is there for some reason.

I don’t hate the Heist episodes-- I thought the first two were brilliantly done-- but they should have put a stop to them long ago— they were never going to top the one where Jake proposed to Amy with the championship cummerbund. Plus they all fell into the same pattern— someone who we didn’t even know was competing

But Jake, while obviously displaying man-child tendencies, has proven to be great at his job time and time again. At best Gina was lazy and didn’t do her job, at worst she actively impeded police officers from doing theirs, including but not limited to potentially poisoning them as a prank.

To this day I remember my first-ever exposure to Jeff Goldblum was as the Big Bad Wolf... and Billy Crystal as one of the three little pigs (I wanna say Fred Willard was another one but I’m too lazy to look it up).

Maybe it’s just me who noticed, but the director was extremely off his mark this week. Missed cues and early or late cuts all over the place— the cold open alone had three mistakes. The most noticeable was in the “Hot Damn!” sketch when Cecily’s music cue was visibly late, so she had to stand there and chuckle

There was another one too— I forget who the host was but it was he and Cecily singing a supposed TV theme song that no one had heard of... but it turns out they totally DID know it! Hilarity ensues! (It may have even been the first one they did with that premise, because it was severely downplayed in comparison to the

Is it me, or does Kate come across as very wooden and boring when she’s not playing a lunatic with crazy eyes and/or a ridiculous accent? Of course Perkins’ general stance of “Kate did a thing and it was the greatest thing I’ve ever seen and we are all richer for having seen it” would suggest otherwise, but in the

Which is why during the goodnights he tried picking up Pete in a hug and both of them tumbled off the stage. Pete must have a good 300 pounds on the guy!

I remember that appearance-- and in the goodnights, Morgan called her “Jane Karofski.” Like, he forgot the name of a woman he worked with for seven years??

Yeah, I was getting serious “Vogelchek Family” vibes when Krasinski kissed Pete Davidson and the audience lost thier damn minds.

Good god, I’ll never be able to unsee that.

I disagree, only for her costume in the “Last Dance” number. Yowza.

Someday I’ll be able to watch the performance of that song that Belafonte did at Jim Henson’s memorial service without crying like a baby. Today is not that day. But someday.

I’m out of the target demographic as I don’t have kids and I was in my teens in the ‘90s, but from what I’ve seen and read, it’s not just that he’s whiny and destructive but that his parents don’t do anything to curb this type of behavior. It seems to send the message that if you whine and cry long enough you’ll
