It would have been more fitting if the milk was 1%.

 

[TheAbsolution]

I thought that this sketch was actually funnier.

[LQX]

Ha, that was great. They need to bring back Curb Your Enthusiasm.

 

[Fox318]

May have been best SNL skit in 25 years

 

[Ivan Amiibo]

I think you mean Super Dave.

Welp, consider my mind blown. Probably very late to this realization.

 

[Nuu]

I wouldn't object if Larry David made a spiritual sequel series to Curb that looks at a candidate running for and in office but in a Curb style way. Essentially Veep meets Curb.

This is funny too.

 

[RoboPlato]

Holy shit that was perfect.

 

[rtcn63]

The actual funniest Larry Sanders skit to date. That was hilarious.

I've never actually watched the Larry Sanders show, but I've only heard good things. I think it's because Garry Shandling looks so '90s.

I watched it a few years back when it was on Netflix and it held up. Funny stuff.

 

[Futureman]

anyone have a screen grab of Larry from the skit where the cops were practicing target practice? There was one shot where they showed a framed photo of his character....

 

[hugocésar]

That was really great.

 

[Jenov]

Ending was awesome, loved his expression when seeing them on the TV, lol. Nice sketch!

 

[Secret Fawful]

I really, really enjoyed that. As others have said, I'd watch a whole show based on this premise.

 

[robotrock]

That was hilarious, sudden Funkhouser at the end killed me.

Yeah that was ridiculous.

 

[Fitts]

The Leon and Susie impressions were great. The Marty Funkhouser one wasn't that good, but I laughed my ass off when he showed up.

Good sketch.

 

[RoKKeR]

That was pretty good.

 

[ATF487]

Loved it.

Jeff impression wasn't great but I lol'd when Funkhouser came in

Watch it! It's so good, and The Office/Curb were influenced by it so much

[Stumpokapow]

Look, Monkey's Paw, I don't care if it's Larry playing Bernie or Bernie playing Larry, just give me a tenth season of Curb Your Enthusiasm, holy shit.

 

[Baron Aloha]

I thought the Leon impression was the best one. Really good stuff. We need season 9.

 

[robotrock]

Look, Monkey's Paw, I don't care if it's Larry playing Bernie or Bernie playing Larry, just give me a tenth season of Curb Your Enthusiasm, holy shit.

We need a ninth first

2 good segments on one show? Is SNL back?!?

 

[metsallica]

Look, Monkey's Paw, I don't care if it's Larry playing Bernie or Bernie playing Larry, just give me a tenth season of Curb Your Enthusiasm, holy shit.

So much this. My life is empty without a weekly dose of Curb.

That was the best thing SNL has done in a decade.

 

[Linkyn]

They really nailed the feel of CYE, so kudos for that.

I need more Larry David as Bernie.

 

[gutter_trash]

I rewatched this nearly 6 times, the sketch is as good as some of the best moments of Curb Your Enthousiam

 

[Rootbeer]

I love Curb so much, this sketch really hit the spot.

 

[Modest Mauser]

That couldn't have been done better

 

[Socreges]

2 good segments on one show? Is SNL back?!?

The Ace Chuggins skit was good, too.

Honestly one of the best SNLs I've seen in ages.

 

[Cooter]

I loved that. LD is the best.

 

[GavinGT]

Since when does SNL have such high production values? Is this sketch some weird outlier or did they step up their game?

 

[Stumpokapow]

We need a ninth first

Is it that I can't count or is it that I was so excited I wanted two more seasons?

 

[GavinGT]

It would have been more fitting if the milk was 1%.

It was a sort of forced joke about Bernie losing Iowa by 0.2 percent.

 

[NullPointer]

That Leon was flawless.

 

[Blader]

Just watched it. Flawless.

Especially loved the Funkhouser impression.

 

[Izuna]

That was hilarious haha

 

[Geist-]

Holy shit, that was the greatest thing to come out of the election season so far.

 

[Gnome Scat]

SNL is finally getting their shit together, that was hilarious.

 

[pestul]

That was really high quality stuff (When I finally got to see due to the region lock). I don't fucking understand why this is locked and all of the Tonight Show clips are available in Canada...

 

[Hellsing321]

Can I vote for Larry David impersonating Bernie for President?

 

[rjc571]

It was a sort of forced joke about Bernie losing Iowa by 0.2 percent.

No, the joke was that Bernie lost the election by 5 votes, so if he didn't piss three people off and make them change their vote from him to Hilary he would have won by one vote.

 

[foxtrot3d]

No, the joke was that Bernie lost the election by 5 votes, so if he didn't piss three people off and make them change their vote from him to Hilary he would have won by one vote.

They were both part of the joke, again it's the classic CYE situation, a minor event comes back to bite Larry in the butt big time. Both the 2% milk and the handshake play into him losing the primary.

SNL is finally getting their shit together, that was hilarious.

Nah, as someone else already said SNL has always been hit or miss with their sketches. Every time someone talks about the "glory days" they forget the hundreds of bad sketches that particular group had.

Not what I expected at all. LMAO.

 

[Joe Shlabotnik]

It was both.

 

[Octavianus]

Pretty pretty pretty good

[paperboywriter]

Awesome lol

Spoiler

pretty, pretty, pretty, pretty

Sketch is always hit or miss, comedy in general, SNL just has a whole lot more of it spread over decades, and with the history and legacy its left behind the scrutiny becomes more focused.

Personally I think a lot of it is due to the environment and not focusing on hiring enough competent writers, way too political and nepotism like with Lorne serving as this dysfunctional father figure to aspiring cast members. Most people just aren't good at writing comedy, the whole system of everybody submits sketches has always been an unnecessary tradition. We know a lot of these people can do comedy from an acting standpoint, so let them focus on that strength. Then again had it not been for that kind of rearing in writing we may not have had Ghostbusters, Austin Powers, etc etc. Basically they should have a more vetted process of who's a competent writer in the first place and assign specialties accordingly. I mean 80+ sketches a week submitted, really? Totally unnecessary.
