James Harrison Is Out of Breath, Fat
Saturday Night Live might be 85% crap, especially portions of the show that include Kenan Thompson, but once in a while they manage to surprise everyone by not sucking for nearly two consecutive minutes. Quite the feat these days, it must have taken them hours on end to write. If Seth Myers is hard up for more Steelers material he could probably buy some of Ape’s Hines Ward material. Fred Armisen does a great Asian stereotype.
The episode’s best moment came of course from another Lonely Island Digital Short, featuring T-Pain. I’m no expert, but I’m pretty sure you can get T-Pain to sing whatever the fuck you want in exchange for a shiny new hat. Needless to say this song was immediately short-listed for next year’s Grammy nominations.

Jizzed In My Pants >>>>> that awful boat song

What’s the deal with mermaids? After you’re done playing with their tits that’s pretty much the end of the line, right?

I’m sorry, but that sounds nothing like Bill Cosby.

Rob: True, but that’s setting the bar awfully high. The boat song was funny, and it looked more at home with what Lonely Island usually does.

why couldn’t she have been the other kind of mermaid, with the fish part on the top and the lady part on the bottom?

what you want natalie? “To drink and fight!!!”
what you want natalie? “To fuck all night!!!”

Pretty much everything Lonely Island does is a directly parody of something. Sometimes, though, when you use T-Pain and make it that accurate, it almost ceases to be parody and appears to be… imitation.

Apparently merpeople can asexually reproduce.

that boat song is right up there with “ROY RULES!”

I watched this on DVR Sunday and have to admit I almost peed my pants on the Harrison bit. It started and ended a little rocky, but the middle minute and half was about as hard as I’ve laughed in a while

I thought James Harrison was silver. What a jip.

Couldn’t disagree more about Kenan. He’s ridiculously underrated. Even with the shitty roles and bad writing they keep forcing him in, he’s still hilarious. Black man just can’t catch a break in this world, no way no how.

That chick doing the Bjork impression was waaaaaaaaaay better
February 9th, 2009 at 4:46 pm
Yeah, I think Thompson is one of the few gems on SNL. Surprised at the hate.
“Fix it!”
February 9th, 2009 at 6:25 pm
FIX YO VIDEO!!
Or stop using hulu!! Please for the sake of international readers!

Yeah, NBC wouldn’t want this video to go viral or anything, thus creating some cachet and buzz around their show. Nah – best just to sic the copyright Nazis on it…

“Jizzed In My Pants >>>>> that awful boat song”
I don’t know man, the boat song was pretty great. And it was exactly how a real rap song would go, too. Half those lines didn’t really seem out of place, despite how ridiculous they were, which is quite sad when you stop and think about it or something.

All due respect, but anyone who thinks Kenan is worth the money he sleeps on probably watched his show on Nickelodeon back when they were little kids and thought it was the shit.
I’ve hated that fat cocky motherfucker ever since he showed up in Mighty Ducks 2 to add some “attitude”. Nobody cares about your fucking knucklepuck, go home. How does a chubby black kid from LA learn how to play hockey anyway? That’s a sport for bored Scandinavians snowbound in Minnesota. And Canadians.
Oh, and the Lonely Island guys are either destined to become the new face of SNL once all the remaining idiocy dies out, or fade into internet obscurity while freakin’ Kenan and Kel make Lorne Michaels their bitch.

Kenan Thompson ceased to be funny beyond All That and Goodburger.
February 10th, 2009 at 2:22 am
Natalie song = probably best digital short ever.
Kenan gets the shaft being the only black person on the entire f*cking show.
This bit was all right.
(So I guess I really am the only person over 24 who watches SNL and thinks it’s genuinely funny)

Also, why didn’t I bench that Jew Goldberg at the first sight of Julie ‘The Cat’ Gaffnie? She was obviously the better goalie. Goldberg could have played better had he thought the puck was a cheeseburger, but his visualizing skills lacked promise, much like his goal tending. But I digress.
