Leslie Jones is the human equivalent of typing in all caps on the internet.

 

[Sanjuro]

Oh no the condoms busted.

Now she's trying too hard.

 

[kingocfs]

I can't stop looking at the extras.

 

[Mechanized]

lmao @ dutch oven and Marco's pecker being too sharp. Wtf

The end turned me around on that bit.

 

[perfectchaos007]

The Millennials > The Californians

 

[Sanjuro]

This episode isn't perfect, but surprisingly solid.

This episode isn't perfect, but surprisingly solid.

Yeah, it's not bad.

 

[TheMan]

wow, she is not singing well right now

 

[twinturbo2]

Miley, Miley, you're not in a metal band, cut it the fuck out.

 

[Cheebo]

This episode isn't perfect, but surprisingly solid.

Yep. I think it's safe to say this is a pretty solid premiere.

 

[twinturbo2]

That was fucking awful, she can't sing or play piano.

MY EARS! MY EARS!

 

[NimbusD]

Just remembered SNL was premiering and tuned in to a surprisingly good Miley performance and now I'm confused.

EDIT: Oh, no one else liked it? Maybe Im just judging by SNL standards of musical performances which is a very low bar.

 

[twinturbo2]

HOLY FUCKING SHIT THEY MENTIONED CONAN O'BRIEN IN PASSING!

 

[Sanjuro]

Hahaha.

 

[Bgamer90]

One of the strangest sketch transitions in SNL history. I'm still confused.

Any transition that ends the Leslie Jones takeover is a good transition

 

[Templar Wizard]

I'm in NYC next weekend and as likely unlikely it is to get tickets, where would be a good bar to watch the show with like minded people?

I'm happy to see some Leslie Jones hate in this thread.

She brings down the entire show, the entire cast, to me. I can't quite put into words just how much I dislike her, and always have. She is the only reason I really fear for the new Ghostbusters movie.

That said, other than Miley, I have a small bit of hope for this season. The writing wasn't TOO awful tonight, and I laughed a handful of times. Now lets build on that, please.

Absolute ditto. She's def the potential weak link in Ghostbusters*. Maybe Lorne is losing his hearing in his old age and she was the only person in her audition group he could hear.

 

[Discotheque]

She was pretty great in top five though. That whole scene with the people in the apartment was amazing. Could have watched 2 hours of that alone

I've avoided all movies with Tracy Morgan and feel I'm better for it.

 

[Goodstyle]

Bernie Sanders wasn't available?

What the hell would he have added? He has zero charisma and half the audience isn't aware of who he is.

I swear, every Sanders fan wants to make him into a bigger deal than he is.

 

[Sanjuro]

Leslie is great. Her stand up is well worth a look at well.

I remember thinking she was funny on Weekend Update once. So she got on my radar. Then, every time she was involved in a sketch, she fucked it up completely. Every single time. At this point, it's easier to name a sketch where she didn't fuck up one or more of her lines than it is to point out how many times she's fucked up.

 

[backflip10019]

Leslie is great. Her stand up is well worth a look at well.

She constantly flubs lines, ruining sketches, and has one talent (which isn't interesting or unique): yelling loudly. That's her only character: Person Who Yells Loudly About Whatever. It isn't funny; at best it's grating and at worst it's migraine-inducing. She might be one of the worst players in SNL's history.

This has to be sarcasm. "Great" shouldn't apply to a cast regular who consistently screws up her own lines and causes guests to screw up theirs with her shitty timing. A comedian with shitty timing. Bad combo.

 

[~Devil Trigger~]

I liked that performance actually. She has a great voice.

 

[dave is ok]

Leslie Jones and Pete Davidson just do bad stand up sets on update. I don't get it

I couldn't agree more.

Also, I thought this was a weak premier. None pf the sketches were particularly funny. And The Millenials was shit compared to the Californians.

And if I'm not mistaken, the opening montage is the exact same as last year. Added to it that only one cast member is new and it felt like a left over episode from last season instead of the start of a brand new one.

Not at all. I don't think she is the best SNL cast member. I also don't think her writing has been nearly diverse enough on the program either along with the females largely taking over the program of late. I think that is the worst combo.

Pete is such a terrible comedian too. This cast does absolutely nothing for me.

I haven't gotten to watch it yet, but if it is that bad when compared to The Californians, it must be "worst in history"-level because The Californians was absolute trash.

Yeah I couldn't stand the Californians , thought the millenniums was pretty funny though.

 

[Sanjuro]

I'm also kind of surprised how much screen time the new guy got.

 

[kingocfs]

That Taylor Swift short was too similar to the Beyonce one, which was way better.

 

[Grinchy]

I thought it was a really weird choice to put a documentary about millennials in the middle of a comedy show, but it was definitely interesting.

 

[RoninChaos]

The Hilary sketch where they started singing was a weird choice.

To each their own. I didn't like Californians at first either, but over time it got me. Armisen, Wiig and Hader killed me. "Stewwwaarrt?.

It's on! Amy Schumer is hosting!

 

[twinturbo2]

This episode is getting off to a great start. /s

Please hand the whole episode to Schumer.

And please stop shoving Kate McKinnon down our throats.

Can you either stop watching or stopcomplaining? It's seems like that's all you do in this thread.

 

[TheAbsolution]

"Any hole is fine"
LMAO.

 

[twinturbo2]

Amy's trying hard, at least.

Besides, who doesn't want Kate McKinnon down our throats?

Schumer working that baby fat in her favor. Rawr.

This season started rough but this ep has been pretty great so far.

This sketch right now has potential.
