some of the skits could have been written in 1982....cornball old person humor....not cutting edge...and this is a 66 year old speaking...the young ones can't relate to that crap. 2017 was pretty good....this year downhill so far.

(10,855 posts)Im wondering if they are purposely backing off of the political humor for some reason.
Has Alec Baldwin grown tired of playing Trump?
If I was Lorne Michaels, I would have Kate McKinnon in almost every skit.
She is unbelievably talented.

(16,104 posts)Just this week we got 'revisionist history' going on the popularity of Bush 2.0. Timely.
SNL has always had a particular slant on humor - what would a stoned, buzzed viewer think is funny late on a Saturday night? I'd say, just about anything. That's a trademark of SNL.
And then there's this!

But, then, I hate almost all country music.

(16,104 posts)Real musicians playing real instruments and shredding their guitars?
For years now, if you wanna hear rock 'n' roll, dial up the 'country' station!

(3,569 posts)last year at hardly strictly Bluegrass in San Francisco. Was an amazing show. Hardly country at all, more like funky swamp rock with horns and man, it was good. http://www.hardlystrictlybluegrass.com/2017/webcast/?mrid=114074

All good producers, actors, and writers like constructive feedback if it is civil and done with good intent.

(12,538 posts)He's not as talented as he thinks he is. Other than playing Bush he's pretty uninspiring.
Plus he had had a lousy face lift. I didn't recognize him during the opening.
Even Weekend Update was weak this week.
