19. I've seen clips. It's three empty heads.
They provide shallow, vapid, stupid, childish conversation for conservatives to watch. Yuck.

6. Funny stuff! It's so CLOSE to reality is what's so scary.
I watch the Fox morning show every blue moon, and it is really weird. They take any subject...pick a subject...and what's important about that subject is...you guessed it....how it shows how Obama is a bad President! And Tea Partiers are grrrrrreat!

36. Story: Storms are gathering. That shows how bad a President Obama is...
the weather agency should have warned us about this days ago! With all the $$$ Obama takes from the taxpayers, you'd think we'd have a decent weather agency! The tea partiers are trying to fix this problem. You don't need a lot of money to have a decent weather agency. Cut the budget, give the money back to the people, and get some agency workers who do their jobs!

Edited on Sun Apr-10-11 07:58 PM by Mosaic
is trash and needs to taken off the air. Their slightly liberal comedy is not good enough to make up for their racist and stereotypical views in nearly every skit. From promoting everything slightly british as superior, to making fun of rednecks, blacks, Latinos, and any other group not rich, white, and 'wrong wing' enough for them. What a bunch of assholes the people who write, and work at snl are. I intend to get them off the air, their time is up and it's long awaited.

13. Its too close to what you watch regularly.
You found it boring and stupid because it was an over-the-top version--although not so much--of the actual show. Neither of those three could teach a class in anything other than how to look into a camera and not be shy. Those three are dumber than any high school teacher I have ever met. The difference between them and a regular person is that they dress up, get paid ridiculous sums of money, and are popular because they are on a tv by some luck of fate (Roger Ailes). Fox is full of C level journalism students who don't know that they aren't worthy to be anywhere else.

Take something patently absurd, and then do it REALLY absurd as a joke.... in a not very creative way.

SNL ain't French & Saunders, that's for sure.


SNL was funny about 30% of the time in it's 1st years.... and then went down hill from there.

31. Thanks for posting. Saw it on Saturday.
Looks like Fox News is no longer a sacred cow. There needs to be more of this until people realize that Fox News is not a reliable news source. My stepdaughter told me she has blocked Fox News and CNN from her TV after I pointed out the lies and distortions of the truth to her. She and her husband are still not ready to accept Al Jazeera for Middle East news as a reliable source, but I'm sure they will get there eventually. This is what is needed, a turning away from the Ruppert Murdoch media, propaganda empire.
