I feel like it's some weird parallel universe nonsense because despite the show being a television staple for almost half a century, I've never known anybody that has watched a single sketch, let alone an episode. Clearly it has a ton of fans and viewers but I've never heard anyone actually talk about the show outside of vaguely remembering Celebrity Jeopardy clips posted online back in the 00s.

If you watch modern episodes everything about it just feels off. The jokes aren't funny and most of the actors half-ass everything to the point where it's like they deliberately want to give viewers the impression that they're just having fun on Saturday Night Live!

Dude, they're doing live off the floor comedy. Of course they ain't gonna always hit it off, but it normally works enough that there's no worries.

i like snl, of course its not like it used to be but its enjoyable on a weekend for some cheap laughs.

not everything has to make you laugh until you cry or your stomach hurts, as long as its gets a few chuckles and maybe a hearty laugh i consider that a successful episode. its not early to mid 2000s snl, that was 22 years ago, the snow is what it is at this point

It's comedy. It's gonna miss more than it hits but when it hits it's gonna be talked about and referenced for a long time.

It's always been mostly unfunny with a few decent sketches that float to the top, but the last decade or so almost nothing floats anymore...

Makes you appreciate the 1st gen of SNL with talent like Aykroyd, Murphy, Chase, Rudner and Belushi.

also the 2nd gen with guys like Farley, Sandler, Rock, Spade, Meyers, Carvey, etc.

Is this a copypasta? We definitely have had this topic before. Like, not just SNL hate, but similar wording about not knowing anyone that watches it.

I used to watch it a lot in high school. I remember Tina Fey doing the weekend update ( ) , Debbie Downer, some bit about George Bush playing a gameboy during a presidential debate (he pronounced it Kooper Trooper) and uh...

It's been a while lol

That was at least 20 years ago though. Norm MacDonald has since died.
