Why I am not laughing at Saturday Night Live.
Because our Iraq policy, the report, dead Americans and dead Iraqis ARE NOT FUCKING FUNNY. The opening skit shows no respect for the horrible and grotesque reality of Iraq. It. Is. Not. Fucking. Funny.

1. I always forget about SNL
Maybe I'll actually put it on. Even if it sucks. I haven't seen one episode this season.

Everything is funnier with that little winkey bastard. ;)

12. If you *have* to use the sarcasm smiley, you suck at sarcasm.

4. Don't let it worry you...
Last time I laughed at SNL was at least 20 years ago.

6. They had an opening skit a few weeks ago that was making jokes about the same thing.
We watched it and just could not laugh. We couldn't even laugh at the actor imitating Bush. The whole situation, Bush included, if just not funny (actually, when was it?) anymore.

10. SNL hasn't been funny for 10 years or so.
It needs to be shown the Green Door of the network TV show dog pound.

11. Why are people saying 20 years ago?? I thought it was still a strong show 10 years ago.
Maybe it's because I'm a young guy...

17. BTW, Gwen Stefani was lip-synching (no live band and she covered her mouth).

22. I just picked up the box set of the ORIGINAL 1st SEASON of SNL...
COMPLETELY UNCUT, all the skits and musical performances intact.

...and I use the term very loosely, is that at least SNL is trying for political humor again. It was all teeny-bopper stuff for a couple of years after 9/11. Still... yeah, they're not particularly funny.
