Hey, if you wouldn’t feel comfortable saying it to the person’s face, why say it online? If posting is the only way you feel any sort of power or control, you gotta find a constructive hobby. Me? I build ships in bottles and post like a human virus.

“ admit that it was universally hated by people on both sides of the culture war”

Yeah, I wanted it to be good and was ready for a different take but season 1 was shit and I refuse to be someone who “hate” watches any show. Outside of my comment here, I’m not giving this show any of my time.

So you spend the entire article telling us the multitude of ways the show fails in every aspect of it’s presentation, admit that it was universally hated by people on both sides of the culture war, (One of the few pieces of content they DO agree on), and yet still feed us the same old tired, “Unjustified condemnation…

This feels like one of those things where a show or movie that barely anyone watches “raises a middle finger to its haters” to give the impression that anyone is actually still talking about it. I haven’t heard anything about this show since like the first week it came out.

We trans people live rent-free in you idiots’ heads

I get that this point is purely about sticking it to trans people, but even if she wasn’t a shitheel this comment would be such peak millenial brainrot. Yes, the baby wizard books lady is the greatest author of our generation because it was the only long book you, personally, have ever bothered to finish.

By “normal people” I think you mean ignorant assholes. And, yes, the world is full of them.

Is it really bullying to say “don’t buy a video game because the billionaire owner of this franchise is not a serious person”?

I came prepared to come here and shit on Kate McKinnon because I do not care for her character work; I realize this is perhaps a bit of a hot take as a lot of people seem to love it (especially Lorne Michaels seeing how much she appeared/starred in sketches as her tenure continued), but Jesus Christ why in the hell is…

Dismukes seems to really be staking his claim to the glue-guy role during this most recent season.

Agree on switching Bennett for Moynihan.  The latter has never felt like more than a place filler.

I get the praise for wiig but i felt like she had two modes on snl: loud-mouth midwestener and damaged, detatched old hollywood-style actress

I too would put Beck Bennett. Probably over Jimmy Fallon or yeah maybe over Moynihan. For a conventionally handsome guy, Beck really committed to the ridiculousness when he could have gotten by on his looks.

Ooh, I missed seeing Fallon included on here. I mentioned Beck Bennett earlier - yeah, I got way more laughs out of Bennett than I ever did from Fallon’s SNL days.

I promise there’s someone left off this list who was funnier than Jimmy Fallon.

Kenan Thompson can walk onto the set and I’m already happy. His entire body is like an orchestra of funny; he doesn’t have to say a word.

Will Forte should be higher and I’d fit Beck Bennett in there somewhere - I feel like in the last decade or so of SNL, he was the most underrated cast member. Get Moynihan outta there, maybe. Otherwise, pretty agreeable/predictable list.

i mean yeah it was played for laughs in a comedy. did you find that to be a harrowing portrayal?

If this show doesn’t try to replicate the character personalities / relationships from the original series and continue to cast good actors like this, I could be interested. Generally agree that a new version of The Office is unnecessary but that doesn’t mean it’ll be bad.
