Looking forward to Gotye, love his album. I'm thinking he will play Someone That I Used to Know and I Feel Better.

ravan

lol @ everyone cracking up on the californians
kristen wiig never breaks.. lol

pinata242

Up through the Empire State of Mind parody sketch and I think this episode is knocking out of the park. Game of Thrones spoof was amazing.

Oh, shit! Speilberg Laser Cats!

RoadToPerdition

Wow, SNL is on point yet again. Two fantastic weeks in a row.

anomynous

No Jason Sudeikis this week?

RoadToPerdition

He did Romney in the beginning.

anomynous

I didn't watch the beginning, so that would be why

Bill Needle

I have to admit, this was a good one.

JeffTheAlpaca

I liked the 2nd song better. His voice kind of reminds me of Peter Gabriel thought not exactly the same pitch.


More Fred Armisen as Ice T lol.

Jay Pharoah got a lot of airtime.

bluesix

I must have watched a different episode or forgot to get high before watching this....

I thought this one sucked. A few clever ideas that went nowhere. The Game of Thrones parody was basically one long joke about the fact that the show features a lot of naked female breasts. And to think of how much money and production value was wasted for that lame skit

The Californians was a idea ripe for the picking and they reduced it to a bunch of stupid impressions of people talking like 1980s San Fernando Valley kids. The only funny part was watching the actors break out of character and start to laugh.

The Steven Spielberg Laser Cats was just a self indulgent mess

The only bright spot was Taran Killam whose Piers Morgan segment bashing Florida was funny. I predict this guy is the next breakout star. He is consistently solid in every piece of crap they give him and has a Will Ferrell like quality.

The other skits seemed like an attempt to give Jay Pharaoh a chance to do his handful of irrelevant impressions. Are there really no other talented black comedians out there in all of America? Anyone else, please?

Josh Brolin seemed unused throughout much of the episode.

And Kristen Wiig, you are definitely ready to leave...take Seth Myers with you please

Charlie Goose

And he's married to the hot chick from How I Met Your Mother.

SpanishTechno

Wasn't he the Florida tourism guy too?

Really strong episode IMO. Looks like Pharoah got a chance to show his stuff this week, though he still seems heavily reliant on a few famous impressions.

BearFan

Real strong episode. The slow motion hallway and the SNL singers were bad, the rest was good to real good. IMO. I am guessing with Gili last week, we are seeing the start of the Wiig "victory lap".

William Fuld

Well, yeah.

Rob V

Gotye was fantastic! Loved getting a second SNL Digital Short too.

movieking

I've always hated Laser Cats, but I did enjoy the Gotye one.

Daytripper

I loved the second song too. It was the best live performane I've ever seen on "SNL".

JeffTheAlpaca

It was good but lets not get carried away lol

How did he score that? On his IMDB page he was the youngest cast member on Mad TV.

Big Boy Laroux

I have never noticed how freakishly short Brolin's arms are. He's like a T-Rex - huge head and short arms.

Evan Meadow

How did he score that? LOL the episode of HIMYM she met him on is the one where he plays the guy who just undresses himself and sits on the couch cause the odds are I think it was 1 in 5 that the girl's going to to go along with it after she sees him.

LOL so he tried this game in real life with Cobie and won big time.

RichC2

Robert Stack was his great uncle, he has TV in his DNA... or something.

I remember seeing old photos of him and thinking he looked like a giant d-bag, of course I also had a massive crush on Cobie Smulders back then.


Naw, the naked man was -- Adam Paul ( http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0666740/ ) -- Taran is one of employees at GNB on HIMYM ( http://how-i-met-your-mother.wikia.c...i/Gary_Blauman )

islandclaws

Decent episode. I loved seeing Spielberg pop up for more Laser Cats.

2 digital shorts? Score.

Gotye was pretty good. I like that first song a lot.

My gf pointed out the same thing.

RichC2

Friend of mine commented on how massive his head was. Made me laugh as he does look like his own bobble head doll in a suit.

Cardiff Giant11

Huh I didn't like the episode much at all; oh well.
