A wild John Mayer appears!

 

[cacophony]

John Mayer cut his hair

 

[snack]

PSYDUCK

 

[itwasTuesday]

Is the arcade machines a snl thing or Oceans?

 

[GQman2121]

So that's totally John Mayer on the left.....

edit: beaten like a Trojan/Spartan

 

[kingocfs]

Wig was the head writer, and all shit had to have her input. I'm thinking it is gonna be better without her.

Isn't Seth Myers the head writer?

 

[Seraphis Cain]

So that's totally John Mayer on the left.....

Holy shit, it's gotta be.

 

[Slurmer]

Guess he is a tekken fan

 

[I'm an expert]

Kinda bad ep till the puppet skit, that was great. This Ocean guy is pretty bad though. Ah well.

 

[B.K.]

Okay... they HAD to have gotten new writers.

You think they have new writers because now they're actually going to have to put some effort into the writing. They can't rely on Kristen Wiig making stupid faces and use a stupid voice for every sketch.

 

[Seraphis Cain]

Kinda bad ep till the puppet skit, that was great. This Ocean guy is pretty bad though. Ah well.

Hm? I don't normally even like this sort of music, but I thought he sounded fine.

 

[Afro Gunsou]

Seth MacFarlane singing, a great Eastwood/Chair fauxmercial, Romney gave me herpres, wild PSY appearing, PTSD puppet and Tekken?

This shit is really good. New writers? Feels more like classic SNL than shitty modern day SNL. Helps that Seth is hosting for sure.

 

[Ronabo]

Sorry, a co-head writer.

 

[aparisi2274]

Weekend Update!!

I sure hope Stefan shows up.

 

[Bgamer90]

This Ocean guy is pretty bad though. Ah well.

????

He was decent.

I was kind of "meh" on Channel Orange but he's talented.

 

[SlowRevolution]

Sorry, a co-head writer.

I don't think she was even on the writing staff (officially, all the cast contributes)

 

[-Pyromaniac-]

lol. Grade A Lochte impersonation.

 

[Cloudy]

LMAO Lotche

 

[Y2Kev]

What happened to Lochte? He went away

 

[RadarScope1]

McFarlane is pretty talented.

 

[Grinchy]

The 2 Seth's played off each other well, but this is dying now.

 

[SlowRevolution]

New girl?

Jay Pharoah's been on this episode more than all of last season.

 

[itwasTuesday]

No my face always looks like this, its like when you pause a video and your making a weird face.

I am liking this weekend update.

 

[kirblar]

What happened to Lochte? He went away

What you saw parodied tonight happened to Lochte. He's very photogenic, but he's terrible on camera once he opens his mouth.

 

[Einchy]

Puerto Rican girl is the go to character for people who don't actually have characters.

 

[Y2Kev]

did none of the ad executives think of that when they made him the center of the universe? maybe like ehhhhhh let's go back to phelps

 

[BJK]

The stuttering Drill Sergeant sounded like something that would have been a 15-sec. cutaway on Family Guy.

(I'm guessing the room didn't write that.)

 

[Cloudy]

Sorry but I like Armisen's Obama better. It's not only about the voice...

 

[Grinchy]

Sorry but I like Armisen's Obama better. It's not only about the voice...

I do too. The "uhh..." thing before every sentence grows old really fast.

 

[aparisi2274]

"I look like an Iranian DJ" LOL!!!

 

[I'm an expert]

Ugghhhh Kenan cannot hold a sketch on his own. Where's Kel..

 

[-Pyromaniac-]

lol this is pretty funny.

 

[Seraphis Cain]

Heihachi looked quite displeased with Mr. Ocean.

 

[oc]

Pyramids? <3

 

[GQman2121]

John Mayer was just eye-fucking the shit out of the camera.

 

[-Pyromaniac-]

Not a huge Frank Ocean fan but you can't deny him.

 

[aparisi2274]

is he really playing Galaxian during a guitar solo?? LOL!!

 

[BJK]

Not a huge Frank Ocean fan but you can't deny him.

You're right; he sure played a video game on SNL while John Mayer finished the song for him.

 

[-Pyromaniac-]

You're right; he sure played a video game on SNL while John Mayer finished the song for him.

No I just think he is talanted and really passionate about his music. Mayer was good too.

 

[jcutner]

That man over there is playing Galaga

 

[I'm an expert]

Shrug his style and voice is kinda meh. I'd rather listen to Mayer play guitar than Ocean hum into an autotuner.

[tj hazuki]

John Mayer such a beast on the guitar!

 

[Zabka]

John Mayer is talented as hell. Frank Ocean got a front row seat.

 

[Autumn Wind]

I really really liked this. I didn't have high expectations even though I knew Seth would be decent in some sketches though this exceeded what I expected.

SNL always hits home with political skits for some reason. They did well with Bush, Clinton, and Bush Sr. don't know much about Reagan.

I think things are going to majorly improve now that Kristen Wiig is gone.

 

[Einchy]

Seems like they aren't stretching their jokes too thin. Last season, that would've been a 8 minute sketch.

 

[vatstep]

What you saw parodied tonight happened to Lochte. He's very photogenic, but he's terrible on camera once he opens his mouth.

He's a mimbo.

 

[FrigidEh]

Solid episode. Really like Seth.

 

[Grinchy]

Well this was definitely an episode of Saturday Night Live.

Really though it wasn't bad. It definitely had some highlights. I might be in the minority, but I wish the Weekend Update would be more news jokes and less current event characters.

 

[Bgamer90]

So that was actually pretty good. Looking forward to the rest of the season.
