Jaimoe Posted May 11, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 11, 2008 Although Tina Fey's show is awesome.And I have a huge crush on her.She's not on the show, so I was singling out this current unfunny smug cast, although I didn't find her newscast very funny either. I did like Mean Girls though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djmelbatoast Posted May 11, 2008 Report Share Posted May 11, 2008 I know she isn't on the show anymore.I thinking that is why it isn't as funny without her as the head writer. Haven't seen Mean Girls but love the 30 Rock.Jesus I still need to stay awake for another two hours to see MMJ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaimoe Posted May 11, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 11, 2008 I remember when Phish was on SNL, I nailed the 46 Days and Chalkdust call. This is my forte.Maybe it was your forte with Phish, but it looks like your day has come and gone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Booche Posted May 11, 2008 Report Share Posted May 11, 2008 It's still unsettling to me that SNL's comedy is really really putrid across the board including the newsThe news was entertaining tonight for the most part and I saw one of the best musical skits they have ever done. Dick In A Box material. Absolutely fantastic. Dont worry if you missed out. It will be flying around the interwebs in no time. If anyone is wondering whether or not if we watched the show, we only saw the stuff revolving around MMJ.I did learn one thing tonight. Evil Urges isnt the song I thought it was. That was the first time I have ever heard it. Great tune. That Zepplin-esque bridge? Awesome. This band can totally stop on a dime. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's normally a 9 minute-plus tune, so maybe you've heard other parts of it that weren't in this "single" version? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Booche Posted May 11, 2008 Report Share Posted May 11, 2008 Nope. Different song, 100%Keep in mind that I havent heard the album. If I was the stoner I used to be then you might have a point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jaimoe Posted May 12, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 12, 2008 Thanks Dave - is it worth downloading the show to see the performances? anything to write home about?The show was horrid; a total piece of humourless garbage. MMJ put on a good show however. They were a little sloppy during the solos on "I'm Amazed", but Jim and Carl made up for it with some raw sustained notes and crunchy licks. "Evil Urges" was really good all-round. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bouche Posted May 12, 2008 Report Share Posted May 12, 2008 I got some laughs out of the episode. The Grand Theft Auto reference in the news was funny, but only because I've been playing it.The skit that lampooned Match Game "It's a Match" was pretty funny. That "charles nelson riley" spoof was pretty hilarious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kanada Kev Posted May 12, 2008 Report Share Posted May 12, 2008 I watched. I was underwhelmed by MMJ. I too thought hte Match Game skit was funny, but then again, i loved that show when i was a kid. They needed the detective to be holding a long microphone though I record SNL and skip through it. I don't know how anyone can actually watch it "live". It's so painfully slow with all the commercial breaks (yes, i know, part of a "live" show). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He sounded like Paul Lynde, but it was more a characterization of Charles Nelson Reilly who was on the show (and died just recently): Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaimoe Posted May 12, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 12, 2008 (edited) I agree that Fred Armisen was doing a mix of Lynde and Charles Nelson - he sounded and looked like just like Lynde, but he wore that neck scarf that nodded to Charles Nelson. No matter, the show sucked except for the Jacket.Oh yeah KK, don't judge MMJ on that fairly good performance. Their concerts are mind-blowinglg great.

Guest Low Roller Posted May 12, 2008 Report Share Posted May 12, 2008 First time hearing the new stuff. I liked 'I'm Amazed' but wasn't crazy about 'Evil Urges'. I need to listen to the new album at some point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used to get them confused as a kid. But was Paul Lynde ever on Match Game? He was on Hollywood Squares and Bewitched. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's also Bonnaroo performances floating around. Also, their first appearance on Conan when they did "One Big Holiday" remains one of the best one-off talk show performances I've ever seen, including all the greats from the past.
