This is, legitimately, the least funny attempt at humor I have ever seen.

It is incredibly frustrating that there are people who will insist people are only hating it because they hate Musk.

I'm embarrassed for the human species.

This isn't even an Elon Musk thing. It's an SNL thing. It's rarely funny anymore.

This was pitifully bad and exactly what happens when the cutthroat alpha male writer's room at SNL loses its balls

I watched last night because I was curious if Doge would be mentioned

Was shocked how unfunny the icelandic show skit was.

The covid conversation skit I thought was hilarious though

As a pretty intense SNL fan, who watches it live, and rarely misses an episode...

Yeah, that sketch was pretty bad.

But, most live comedy sketches are pretty bad--I don't think it's that easy to write one, especially 40+ seasons into a show. And, an episode is put together all in one single week usually, so they barely even have time to rehearse. And, jokes are often swapped in/out minutes before the show begins, so you can't really memorize anything, you have to read the cue cards.

And, these live sketches truly are live, so there's no covering up any mistakes, you just have to roll with it. Maybe something seemed funny on paper, but isn't working at showtime, but you can't back out.

To top it all off, in this case, Elon and Grimes (princess peach) aren't comedic actors...so of course their timing's not gonna be very good.

The reasons to watch SNL are, in my opinion:

  • Weekend update, which I think is genuinely great.
  • The occasional good sketch (probably about 10% to 20%) (pre-taped ones slightly more often).
  • The monologue when a stand-up comedian hosts (they always do a great job).
  • Just, the enjoyment that comes with watching live comedy, which is a pretty rare thing!

I liked the music being used from Mario Party 1 and Super Mario Land 2, nice shout outs to niche games. And the Toad Jury.

Other than that... meh.

SNL is pretty bad nowadays. It's just not creative or interesting - 75% of the cold opens are the same tired variations on a game show sketch.

I almost want to go back and watch 2003/2004 era SNL episodes so I can see if it was ever funny. I remember watching it a lot as a teenager

I have to say, I thought the three minutes of the Wario sketch before the Twitter clip were way better than the Twitter clip

The pre-filmed sketches are always much better than the live stuff. I know people have been saying that for years now, but it's still true.

They made Elon play weirdos all night; having him as Wario was perfect. And the twist at the end was nice. Everything in between was, I'll admit, not so great...

But that was the weakest sketch of the night, the rest of the show was actually surprisingly strong! (Well, after the awkward monologue.) I'm not an Elon fan whatsoever, but he won me over with his commitment to his eccentric oddball characters and so I awarded him a B for his overall hosting duties.

(Also helped that they picked such a strong musical guest, Miley made 5 appearances and killed every time.)

I quite enjoyed the Mars Crisis

and the Murder Mystery
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qaKZi6p6sxg

and of course Weekend Update was great as always

(Che's firing squad line might be my favorite of the year so far)

None of these are remotely funny. The new weekend update people are worse than Jimmy Fallon in terms of not being able to keep their shit together

People like "breaking" so much I'm pretty sure the show-runners are actively encouraging them to break at this point.

The show still has funny people: Kenan, Kate McKinnon, Bowen Yang, and Cecily Strong can all be good with good material. The writers are just really bad. As recently as a year ago there were still some decent sketches.

Breaking is fine in the context of weekend update, theyre allowed to find jokes funny. It was an isssue when Fallon would do it in sketches... because then hes breaking character. Theres no character to break on Update, so who cares

Breaking can be really endearing, but yea generally during Weekend Update. Like when Bill Hader would do it with Stefon

The saddest part of all this is Elon would be a perfect Wario if they wrote a remotely funny sketch here and really leaned into dogecoin
