Unhelpfulness pays the same and requires less effort.

Ummm... you didn’t post the trailer though.

sources referred to the movie as “irredeemable” after test screenings.

That’s old hat, it’s the accountants that write for the lawyers now.

Just went and looked it up, there’s 24 credits listed BEFORE the sampling credits.

He was Ivan Drago! The bad guy! He should want to break Sylvester Stallone, not make him feel better about the fact that he doesn’t own any part of the film franchise he created!

Yeah, that’s the big thing. I actually think Mulaney in the abstract has everything necessary to not only helm the show, but maybe also to remake it into something far better. But I also think the biggest thing Lorne brings to the show is stability, and Mulaney lacking that is a huge liability.

Mulaney has a great touch, but seems to lack the personal stability needed to helm the show for any length of time.

There’s a layer of romanticism about boxing that’s more cinematic than the Affliction-wearing atmosphere of MMA (Warrior was good though!), as well as being a physical language easy for audiences to follow, with two people simply trading punches rather than trying to shoot the legs or sit in a 69-lock for three…

Yes! This was the first thing that jumped out at me. Can't take a writer seriously if they don't know such basic things.

“Hoiti toiti” makes more sense and sounds similar

How does a writer not know this???

None of those losers can type or file.

hoi polloi doesn’t mean “the rich”, it means “the people”, as in rabble, the common man, etc.

Seth and Tina both seem like good fits. Tina especially seems like a workhorse who doesn’t mind not necessarily being visible all the time. Before his relapse, I thought Mulaney might work too, but he clearly needs to have his hands busy in five pies at once just to keep regular. I’m not really sure how much work…

But I would miss the AVClub’s stock headlines for each episode: “[Insert celebrity name] Isn’t Enough to Save a Middling SNL.”

There’s so much in the world that’s impermanent, and I like a bit of consistency.

Careful yo! That’s the President of Houston you’re talking to!

We came up with a lot of new words while you were in the Phantom Zone.

I’d like to know the percentage of Internet residents who saw the word “nuances,” and wondered if that word was something he made up on the spot.
