RenoF250 Posted November 28, 2020 Share Posted November 28, 2020 They have had some funny people since but mostly no talent jackoffs. Also, the show has gotten WAY too political, I haven't watched it in years. 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
minervadoe Posted November 28, 2020 Share Posted November 28, 2020 It's like watching an animal in its death throes. But, it's been dying for the last thirty years. I'd say it's painful to watch, but in reality, their naive politics are mean spirited, one sided and anger inducing. 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crockett Posted November 28, 2020 Share Posted November 28, 2020 SNL long turned into a left wing biased shitshow. Haven't watched in many many years. As a matter of facts. I cut the cable TV wire in 2008. I watch a few YouTube channels (even though I also can't stand Google / YouTube for their left wing agenda and all that shadow banning) and buy a Blu Ray disk maybe once every other month. For the most part I watch movies and TV shows from the 80s and 90s, streamed from my own server. That's it. I'm sick and tired of all this political manipulation in mainstream and social media. 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Valmet Posted November 28, 2020 Share Posted November 28, 2020 Early years of SNL were pretty good but the golden age was the 1990s- Farley, Sandler, Phil Hartman, Will Farrell, etc. While there’s always been a political element to the show, unfortunately it has become the single element, and IMO it’s been unwatchable for years. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A lot of people thought so, but I can't stand Farley, Sandler, or Will Farrell. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wyzz Kydd Posted November 28, 2020 Share Posted November 28, 2020 I don’t think any version of SNL rivaled Belushi, Akroyd and Murray. Throw in Chevy Chase and Steve Martin and that first version is clearly the best. Eddie Murphy, Dana Carvey, Will Farrell, Adam Sandler were all good, maybe Tina Fey and Farley too. But first gen was best. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blueiron Posted November 28, 2020 Share Posted November 28, 2020 Adam Sandler trades on his heritage. Will Farrell is not funny - he lacks the requisite intelligence for improv. Chris Farley's humor was physical - some love it and some hate it. The initial generation of comedians were successful because they would lampoon Jerry Ford and Jimmy Carter with equal gusto. They made fun of rednecks and the LGBT community. Everyone was a target and everyone took shots. Now, most people are victims and exhibit false sensitivity all for an emotional/financial payout.

blueiron Posted November 28, 2020 Share Posted November 28, 2020 I honestly wish they'd kill off the show. Lorne Michaels was calling it in during the 1990s and it has only gotten worse. This is evidenced by no one from the show recently gaining an audience after leaving. Everyone knew the first gen comics and they all had some degree of success for years after leaving the show. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Valmet Posted November 29, 2020 Share Posted November 29, 2020 (edited) Love Gilda, Murray and Ackroyd. IMO Belushi was overrated and have never found Chevy Chase funny at all. YMMV, obviously. Edited November 29, 2020 by Valmet 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

holyjohnson Posted November 30, 2020 Share Posted November 30, 2020 SNL started its downward spiral when they Banned Elvis Costello in `77 for Playing Radio,Radio. SNL should have died, Chris Farley should have lived. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnbt Posted December 1, 2020 Share Posted December 1, 2020 "never found Chevy Chase funny at all" He is 6'4" and was named Cornelius Crane Chase at birth. That right there is funny. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
