I gave up sometime after the irritating Debbie Downer skit

When this aired last year it was hilarious, simply because it was supposed to be a depressing subject, and the entire cast could not keep a straight face and kept laughing. The comedy worked on so many levels. I remember saying that if they hadn't broken out and laughed it would not have been nearly as funny. The most recent sketch proved this. I wasn't happy with the debates either. I thought the material was good, but i didn't like either of the impersonators. Bonerjuice was good. Amy Poheler was good with Tina Fey. the first all female SNL weekend update crew, I think. Plus they are both hot. SNL needs to give Fred Armisan and Finesse Mitchell more air time.

I think they're both hot too, but Amy didn't seem to do too well, to me anyway.

The debates I think they messed up. It got even more tedious their making fun of Bush for saying that "It's hard work" fighting terrorists over and over(and over) than it was watching Bush actually say it. And the bit depicting Kerry making snotty looks at Bush was just stupid and didn't really parody anything, because Kerry didn't do that at all. The funny/disgusting part is a lot of people probably got their ideas about the debate not from watching it but from the lame SNL skit.

It was funny when the Jim Lehrer/moderator asked Bush to confirm that his plan to fight the terrorists was to come in and work Saturdays.

The bonerjuice was a dead-on target that's been crying out to be done for a long time now, but it wasn't really as biting as it could be -- I was surprised. Or as funny. Those commercials really are sad with more than a little bit of a vicious undertone; they deserved a funnier, more caustic rip than that.

The Debbie Downer sketches used to be really funny. But this one just fell flat. I was again surprised; before last Saturday, that bit was one of the few things I've liked in SNL for a long time. But her remarks seemed mostly completely arbitrary non-sequiturs this time -- no tie-in to the rest of the sketch...just sort of dead balloons falling to the ground.

I watched simply for the debates as well. I was somewhat dissapointed. They did Bush well and the Kerry manurisms (sp?) were good as well but everything that Kerry said was actually more a parody of his campaign before the debate than his debate performance. Maybe that's a good sign - seems they couldn't really make fun of anything he said that was bad.

Okay, it was a funny commercial, but no WAY was it funnier than

Schmidt's Gay
Robot Insurance
Happy Fun Ball

or the king of them all...

Oops, I Crapped My Pants!

the episode i got off bittorrent didn't have the commercial :< hopefully it'll be on my tivo when i get home.

it was on tivo, wasn't too impressed with the commercial. i think the name "boner juice" has to be sprung on you for comedic effect.
