If there is a baseline between exuberant celebration and disturbingly degrading behavior, these videos are a slow roller toward first that might not stay in fair territory.

Kinda feels like they’ve never seen a woman before.
My biggest issue with David Samson is how shitty he was at Survivor.
Yes! I worked for a prominent midwestern franchise situated near a lake that moved into a new stadium around the turn of the millenium.
Was the lunch you purchased a Little Ceasers Hot N Ready? Because this is what I’ve narrowed it down to from your post.
Yeah but Watson just has the natural born ability to read a defense. That’s god-given.
Kirk Cousins could break all this down as well. He just can’t throw the football part.
Networks pay millions for ex-players to explain these things to viewers, and 99 times out of 100 it’s obvious the analyst just tries to wow the viewer with jargon from their playing days and fill the airtime with word salad. Watson is more helpful and succinct in that clip than any of them. Does CTE make them…
Jared Goff knows all that stuff also and could easily explain to reporters the coverage of any team playing them ... with his earpiece in.
You also just more or less described the Bears. The only two teams in the division with good QBs are the Packers and the Lions, which have had issues with the running game and defense. This year, both of those teams look to have improved in those areas. Meanwhile, the Bears and Vikings have the best defenses, but are…
Imagine if you’re a Vikings fan. Three years ago you thought you had the team to win it all. You had a ridiculous defense and an up-and-coming star at quarterback. Everything changes during one practice, forever altering the franchise. You lose said quarterback to a freak injury; one that almost costed him a limb. You…
Eh, I haven’t watched a full episode of SNL in years, but I still read these reviews because its Sunday, work is slow, and there is no other new content on the site (except for the far superior WIki Wormhole). So every week I read Dennis griping about how mediocre and unnecessary SNL is, then I read the comments…
Absolutely nothing. It's an "I want to corner the name on another generation" attention-seeking term.
oh just wait to see you his Simpsons recaps
What the hell is a zoomer?
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 found myself pleasantly entertained by this episode, even though I didn’t think it had that many breakout sketches. There was just this pleasant energy here and while the political stuff was hit-and-miss, more of a hit for me than the reviewer, it did also feel like SNL was again kind of re-examining the approaches…
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)…
I am painfully aware that SNL - a show which, by its very nature, is hit-or-miss - has been especially “meh” the past two-three seasons, but I wonder what’s the point of these recaps. At this point, these read like a meta-joke on the formulaic nature of SNL and I can’t imagine anyone benefitting from it: people in the…
