Bobby Moynihan (unfortunately pictured) is the least talented cast member that "Saturday Night Live" has ever had.
I don't say that for hyperbole's sake.
I've been watching the show for over 20 years.
He's the worst.
He's supposed to be the funny fat guy: He is neither fat nor funny.
He's literally done nothing funny in his time with the show.
Considering this is a show that has given us John Belushi and Chris Farley, that *THIS* is the only zaftig comedian that they can find, is disgraceful.
Last night, his "Snookie" impression was the height of non-hilarity.
The only reason I like this guy, he gives me practice in using the fast-forward button on my new tivo.

Despite one clear waste of space, I think SNL has had its moments lately.
The Betty White/Jay-Z show was the highlight of the season.
It's a shame that wasn't the season finale.
The Alec Baldwin/Tom Petty show was tough to watch.
It's as if the crew wasted ALL of their good writing the previous week.
The skits weren't just bad, most of them were TOO long.
If a joke takes NINE minutes to develop, it had damn well better be funny.
There were a FEW moments worth mentioning on the positive side.
I really like Bill Hader's bit on Weekend Update where he recommends 'hot spots' in town. Still, it wasn't as funny as the first time he did it.
The microwave time machine skit was decent (albeit painfully long).

Alec Baldwin is a great SNL host.
He's a gifted actor and has comic chops.
Next time, perhaps you don't spend the whole week reading press clippings about the Betty White show, and instead, you know, do some actual writing.
Oh and Tom Petty, don't be afraid to play one of your hits.

A fellow SNL fan, will retort to this breakdown.
His comments will be posted in the comments section.
I eager to hear what "Diss Bank' has to say.
Please read it.
The worst part?
Next week they're airing the repeat with Justin Bieber (wish I were kidding).
Dave, as unfunny as this guy is, Keenan actually brings the show down further. Because I feel like they don't even use Husky McFuckleby as often as they'd like...which is fine! But they SHOVE Keenan down our throats. Yes, the star of GOOD BURGER. He is so loud, and so over the top...and so BAD.
ReplyDeleteI don't hate Keennan, believe it not. He has his moments. He's not hilarious, but there's something about his personality that i find 'winning.' That prison skit with Betty White as exhibit A.
ReplyDelete'Husky McFuckleby" as you so aptly called him is the LEAST funny person to EVER go on SNL. He should just be dropped from the show.
SNL has not been the same for a very, very, very long time!!! Im surprised its still even around. BW's show was by far the best one since the 90's.
ReplyDeleteCami,
ReplyDeleteFirst of all, thanks for posting and welcome to the blog. Secondly, I think SNL will be around forever. Why not? It's about the timeslot and the format. It's an institution. It may ebb and flow in popularity... but a saturday night sketch comedy show will always work on some level
SNL is missing women from their roster. Last week's show was hysterically funny due not only to Betty White (who was outrageous), but because of the return of Rachel Dratch, Amy Pohler, Maya Rudolph and the "Muffin Ladies".
ReplyDeleteKristin Wiig can't do it alone: she needs a "possee".
agreed... although I think she's really gifted... I love her Kathy Lee
