This is the latest SNL Digital Short, The Space Olympics, which I thought was kind of amazing. But if it weren’t for Andy Samberg, there wouldn’t have been anything funny on SNL. Normally, the first show of the season is at least good, since at that point the writers have had like six months to collect material. This year they apparently spent that six months going, “Hey, what if some people went to their boss’s house for dinner, and the boss’s kids? Were really weird!” “What if some people went to a restaurant, and their waiter? Was a white guy… who thinks he’s a black guy!” “And hey, what if Michael Phelps’ awkward ass was there!”
This cast has some good actors (Kristen Wiig, etc.), but I think they may need to hire some of the Family Guy manatees. I’ve included a sketch more representative of the rest of the show after the jump. I suggest not watching it.

Is SNL even funny anymore? I didn’t think so.
The Palin/Hillary opening skit was very funny.
Ice Cream is yummy.
Wow, that was crap.
SNL died a few years ago. And it wasn’t a nice death, like Kim Jong Il, “oh i’m dead but nobody knows.” No, it was a Phil Hartman “OH MY GOD! You shot me in the fuckin face!” death.
I’m just glad that there are still people out there continually willing to give SNL another try (and report to me that once again, they’ve failed).
I’m not going to watch any new episodes of anything except Sarah Connor Chronicles so that when the actors go on strike, I won’t have to cut myself anymore than necessary.
Regarding East coast drunkards at work at 8am – I’m one. I don’t check in here until 9am usually because:
1. Check in with the boss, bullshit about Formula 1.
2. Check emails.
3. Stare out the window to see if the butterface secretary from the building next door is wearing a miniskirt when she comes out for her cigarette break and sits on the picnic table facing my window.
3a. If yes, then most of the rest of my day is pretty much a waste, because she takes a cigarette break every 15 minutes or so.
Oh how I long for the days of Denny Dillon.
Andy Samberg is funny? huh.
I think the fat chick is blindingly unfunny, but she also seems like the kind of chick I’d totally score with, so it’s really tough to pass judgment.
Tyler Perry said that Keenan Thompson is the least funniest black actor alive.
Burnsy, Spike Lee takes issue wiff that comment.
Generalissimo Francisco Franco is still dead.
Dor sho gha! The Mighty Feklahr couldn’t find Clark Griswold in ANY of those clips??? KAHLESS, WHY HAVE YOU FORSAKEN US???
Ellen Cleghorne’s work is comedic legend next to Thompson.
Holy Shit! Happy day-layt burffday Donk!
The Mighty Feklahr wishes it was The Space Ghost Olympics!
Oh well, she’s wearing slacks today. Guess I’ll be posting/working instead.
She must not feel fresh, huh Soup?
I’d just as soon watch the Living Spacial Olympics, sponsored by Ikea.
She doesn’t really look all that fresh, to be honest. But, is it not my obligation as a heterosexual male to stare, waiting for the inevitable upskirt shot?
Stoney-Kahless did not create all upskirt shots equal. SOme are better off unseen, and some can never be “unseen”.
Don’t get me wrong, Soup. If there’s a shot at seeing some beaver without having to slip a dollar in a g-string you take it.
Trust me, I am aware of this. The subject in question has a great body, but a harsh looking face. She’s just this side of skanky.
She often shares the picnic table with a gaggle of other women who regularly flash their beskirted goods, much to my dismay… presumably to air them out…
New Up!
in order for this to be funny 2 things need to be included: racism and tits
