LeBron’s Mixed SNL Reviews
Uncategorized October 1st. 2007, 11:57amLeBron hosted SNL this weekend. We missed it all, but the intro was decent and Kanye West had a good skit. If you see any other videos floating about the net, kindly email us (here’s another video, and here’s another), we’d like to check them out. Speaking of SNL, we had no clue this guy was on the show. He’s funny.

Bron was mediocre at best, but then again not sure the skits really helped him out much. Sambergs Digital Short was pretty funny though

SNL has been bad for the past 5 years.

Bill Hader does amazing impressions on SNL… his severly drunk Peter O’Toole is legendary

SNL is always better with a smaller cast.

The show was weak. I didn’t think Lebron was too big of a flop. The skits are just awful these days. The Lyle Kane skit was troubling. Who thought that was funny enough to go on SNL?
I did like the Read to Achieve skit. They have used the same idea before on SNL but it was still funny.

Hasn’t been good in 5 years? Try 10. Say what you want about Bill Simmons but I think he called it correctly when he said HBO needs to create a live sketch show and blow SNL out of the water.

It’s a terrible show. The sketches are some of the worst comedy around. Like awful. That Lyle Kane shit? Wtf? Will Arnett is a reasonably funny dude, sometimes, but come on. That’s just a useless sketch.

The Samberg digital short was one of the funniest things in the past 10 years.
The Lyle Kane skit may have been the most unfunny skit in the history of SNL.

SNL is still capable of hall-of-fame awesomeness once every few years (see: Dick in a Box), but it’s unwatchable and painfully unfunny 98% of the time. I haven’t watched regularly in more than 10 years. There’s no reason to.

HBO needs to create a live sketch show and blow SNL out of the water.
It doesn’t need to be live, and it’s been done. It was called “Mr. Show.”

Mr. Show was pretty stupid.

HBO also had Sketch Pad 1 and 2. Both were great. I thought Angry Dog was funny.

You mean Will Forte?

A) Mr. Show was phenomenal. Granted, Cross and Odenkirk’s humor is not for everyone, but their ideas and their transitions from sketch to sketch were brilliant.
B) The digital short wasn’t that funny. We get it, you can rap about current events and pop culture and/or make Natalie Portman rap about things that are out of character. You’ve gone to that well too many times already.
C) SNL is worth DVRing. I watch it Sunday as I get through my hangover, and fast froward through any skit that bores me. I watch in in about 30-40 minutes and avoid the NFL pregame shows.

Mr Show wasn’t a speck on Lorne Michaels’ ass. HBO needs to combine some bigger, even somewhat known names with some new talent and do a live sketch comedy thing. They should even be total assholes and put the show on at the same time as SNL. I think direct competition like that is the only thing that can save SNL at this point.

DVR makes SNL watchable. Otherwise not a chance.

Mr. Show was never competing with SNL. The shows are apples and oranges in terms of format, tone, etc. Cross and Odenkirk were virtual no-names at the time and got a quirky, intelligent and niche show on HBO. That’s impressive. But it was never meant to be an SNL-style show, so there’s no need to make comparisons.
That said, Mad TV is not exactly the competition that SNL needs to inspire a renaissance. I agree that someone, cable or otherwise, needs to do something flashy to keep the genre relevant.

Add to the SNL Awesomeness Hall of Fame: Peyton Manning’s United Way sketch. But SNL’s been overrated for a long time; those of us who remember when it first came out know that for every skit that went into legend there were three that totally blew.
