Waiting for Big Mo definitely felt self indulgent in a way that Waiting for Godot does not. Great comedians love to be in Godot — done right, it’s almost like The Three Stooges or Laurel and Hardy. Big Mo felt pretty flat to me.

I feel like some of the writers the last three years have decided to turn the guys into unfunny caricatures. They say the kind of things people post on Twitter when they’re making a joke about something a toxic male would probably say. Is this all Ganz? I feel like that’s all Ganz ever does. She just beats that one…

I was getting really worried during the end of the finale that they were setting the show up for an ending.

Joe Montana

On a tangent, everybody surmises the worst ever guest was Steven Seagal, in that everybody just hated him from the get-go, but who, I wonder, was the worst guest who they all liked? I mean the guest who was just dreadful, but perhaps through no fault of their own, was well liked and just perhaps the wrong person to be…

i guess i saw a different episode, i thought this one sucked.  the cold open was horrible except for heidi’s swooning & the doug bit was great but the rest seemed off to me - the writing was weak & it just seemed like the timing was missing.

I can’t agree with this grade. To me this was the worst episode of the season by far. “That’s the Game” was fantastic - Chris Redd was great and the timing was bang-on. I loved Kyle in WU, and Newsboys had a great premise but... like most sketches, the timing was just slightly off and the audience was so quiet for so…

He unsuccessfully auditioned for SNL.

I dont recognize the writer, but it seemed kinda like he only had a vague notion of the characters—-something seemed off the entire episode, really.

Middling episode for me. Frank breaking into the waiter’s house and ruining his life was pretty amusing, but the Mac/Dennis dependence/poison subplot seemed pretty forced and lame.

how. how did the horny nonni just keep going and going and going and going. it was like the writers got stuck with 15 minutes to fill and sic’d Kate on the host instead of writing another sketch.

That cold open was probably their worst cold open in years. It was just bizarre, didn’t really build up to anything, had far too many dragging moments and made no sense. Also why the hell have Matthew Broderick be Mike Pompeo, a dude who is known for his bombastic and aggressive style? The voice was never there.

My sense of disillusionment and despair about the reality of our system of government has hit all time lows.  I’m more angry at Democrats than I am Republicans.  Pelosi in particular.

You’re not wrong, but Jared Leto shouldn’t be mentioned in the same breath as Phoenix.

It's just common courtesy and class. Obviously the author has none. And yes its because you didn't pay up for first class. 

This episode was painfully awful and a perfect example of why this once brilliant show has bad episodes so frequently now. They don’t respect the audiences intelligence. Now, the characters say their intent out loud and you get who and what they are aiming the jokes at. There’s no subtly. I have no idea how they…

But for all the things about Harris’ campaign to focus on (her dismantling Trump lackeys in Senate hearings, her record on crime, her thunder being routinely shunted to white candidates in media stories), portraying her as a catchphrase-spewing attenion-seeker isn’t just lazy, it’s irresponsible comedy.

If your sketch is improved by a bizarre fuckup and the actors inability to hold it together, it’s not that great of a sketch. Yes, it’ll produce a laugh, but it’s not the laugh you want. You want them to think it was funny, not “Wow, they’re really melting down out there.”

I’m all for talking about how shitty it was for Lorne to have Trump host, but I’m never going to believe being on SNL got Trump elected. SNL just doesn’t have that level of cachet - even in 2000, when the show was more popular and more known to the public, Bush (who got a lot of fun and positive sketches on the show)…

Not a very good episode. The Teddy twist was obvious from the beginning. The only times I really laughed were the pantsless reveal and “La Bamba.”
