Do you like SNL (Saturday Night Live)?

[Cruel__Machine]

I'm not talking about the classics. Talking about the current episodes.
Do you like them, or find them funny? (I'm making the assumption that you don't like it if you don't find it to be funny, since that's the purpose of the show)

I was curious about this after watching it last Saturday (which I don't regularly do, mind you) and found myself not even thinking about laughing at any moment whatsoever. Instead I could only criticize.
I laughed during one of the commercials however. And I'm not even trying to be a smart ass about it.

What do you think?
I think it used to be good and now it's awful.

The new ones are a bit disappointing. It's like they've lost most of their thunder. However, what makes the classic ones 'classic'? The actors or the skits? I think it's a combination of those. There aren't as many SNLers that really stand out as legendary (other than Will)

Like every good thing in life, it will start to slowly but surely decline.

Simpsons, Family Guy, Drawn Together, SNL, Etc.

No it isn't as good as the classics the classics were way funnier.

I never really watched it. Tbh, I'm more a fan of the Late Night Show with David L.

Probably true.
I also feel the same about the Simpsons, I'm starting not to watch it. However I still like Family Guy. But when you're as old as the Simpsons, there's not much more you can do... lol
But SNL can change casts and skits. The main problem is when an actor gets even slightly popular on SNL, they try to go to making movies, which usually suck hard.
I think it's ultimately the actor that makes it good. The good actors, like Will Ferrall, were great no matter what the skit was.
I also liked Norm McDonald, but he doesn't have much variety to him lol.

Will Farell was genius.
He's been in some of my favorite skits.


Family Guy?
Really?

I think the show is horrendous now.

I agree, the newest episodes are absolutely horrible.
