SNL 4/13: The Rock & Andrew WK



This should be a great show... Rock was excellent last time.

On right now....thus far.

Opening, Farrell's Bush is always good.
The Zoo show guy....hilarious!
The Scorpion King skit...okay, had some funny moments though!

I'm not a wrestling fan, but SNL has been the place where The Rock has realy been able to show his skills as an entertainer....at least those that don't require grappling with another man.

You are not alone. The Rock was funny the 1st time but I didn't care for this show at all.

No. Totally downhill after "Brian Fellows"--the first skit after the intro. Update sucked.

And let me be the first to ask a question that may be on the minds of many who just watched the show:

Andrew W.K.: WTF? People actually buy this ****?

andrew w.k. blew, and i think the first 1/3 of the show was great...then fell to crap... Brian Fellows was good as usual.... still, while the skits were middle of the road, The Rock was great again...too bad they didn't have better material for him...

i liked the skit where maya rudolph was singing about fred. well, i just like her anyway.

there were a few laugh moments, particularly when darrell hammond was playing the guy from hardline (it's too late for me to remember his name). vagina coast guard!

cranky.

I liked the Neil Diamond sketch and a few others. There were also some terrible ones such as the one where the Rock was in drag, that was absolutely horrific

That's not the band's fault... the audio mix was terrible. The audio engineer should be shot because the drums were too high and Andrew's mic was barely audible.

I take back my high hopes in the first post.... the show sucked. What terrible sketches! The Rock's show from 2000 was 10x better.

Chris Matthews, the Hardball skit was my favorite of the show.

Strange episode. The Rock was horrible, but the cast was great. A lot of the sketches were pretty darn funny independent of the Rock. The Rock is entertaining inside his range, but push him beyond that, and he's embarassingly bad. From his gay guy to his drunk girl to his singing ... all sad. But he did recover well from "tomb."

Andrew WK isn't even worth mentioning.

I like how they ran over time.

Best skits IMO : Hardball, America Undercover, Brian Fellow's Safari Planet, and eh, I think that is it.

The rest just wasn't very funny, and the Rock isn't a very good actor at all, but there has been far worse.

Ah, but the musical group sketch (Andrew WK) was very funny.

Hardball was hilarious
I'm watching it on tape and just laughed so hard I almost choked on dinner

I liked Hardball, The woman with no Gaydar (can see why it wouldn't be funny to a lot of people on here.....) Neil Diamond and Bigfoot, Brian Fellows....uh...seen the first dumb Brian Fellows skit seen then all.

Hopefully that show pretty much tanks Andrew W.K.'s musical career here in the U.S. Good riddance.

The only sketch that I thought was reasonably funny was the drunk girl sketch. Of course as is typical of SNL these days - it went on way too long.

Why isn't Chris Kattan doing more these days? What I wouldn't give for another Mango or Peepers sketch.

The first time the Rock was on SNL, it was a classic episode. This one was not good at all. When the first sketch after the monologue is the one-joke Brian Fellow skit, you know it's gonna be a long night.

Maya Rudolph singing to Tracy Morgan = WTF?

Honk!

I thought the Rock was a good sport to do all those silly skits! I actually liked the "Gaydar" one.

It really says something when the musical guest is the biggest joke on the show.
