I think I'm thinking Paul Reubens.

If he put on a wig and lipstick.

Is there a reason why you shouldn't? I think she's pretty awesome.

The new YYY album has really grown on me a lot.

Didn't have to grow on me, but it was first exposure to them -- I am now a damn ol fan of this group. Rock and or Roll.

No, I agree she rocks. I just didn't want my snide commentary about her hair be my final word

i haven't watched this in ages but i was at my folkses and everybody had gone to sleep.

this was one of the worst episodes of SNL i've ever watched half of.

how is this on television?

YYYs looked really stupid too.
but probably the only reason i made it to the halfway point

The skits are always bad. Its fun watching this with my 17 year old son, who seems intent on defending the current SNL. My wife and I try to convice him that the classic lineups were better, but it turns into a generational thing - like we just don't "get it." No, son, it just ain't funny.

so this is the new thread to talk about how unfunny snl is?

snl is now meant to be watched on dvr. i roll through episodes in about 15 minutes and there's usually at least one pretty funny sketch, typically in the middle or right before the end. they sure don't front load episodes anymore.

I've found a few of the digital shorts (Jizz in My Pants) pretty funny, and the episode with the guy from Spiderman was ok. Mostly pretty meh, though.

It led me to backtrack to the others. Good music.
