Zach Galifianakis AND Vampire Weekend? Okay, that's how you get me to give the current iteration of SNL another shot.

Man, I'm full of fail. I scanned all the way back to the JLo thread and didn't see this one somehow.

That monologue was the best thing I think I've seen on SNL this year. Love Zach.

That monologue was great. Sadly, I have a feeling that everything that follows it will not be nearly as funny.

I don't really know what ZG was talking about in the beginning, but the bit at the piano was very funny.

Very surprised that senile Don Pardo did NOT mess up ZG's name.

Please just let Zach loose and don't hold him back. I have a feeling that they are going to hold him back and play it safe. Not looking forward to Weekend as the music guest.

Basically taken directly from the monologues he used to do on his VH1 show, but good to see since so few people watched that show.

Looks like the Olympics are over and SNL is back.

Kenan is actually more attractive as a woman than Mo'nique.

I was just about to post that exact same thing. :lol:

the problem with a host like Galifianakis is it really shows how painfully unfunny the cast is.

Loved 'What up With That?' and whatever the hell flute-playing thing Zach was supposed to be.

Pageant Talk was brilliant for Zach. Great stuff.

So, did Zach shave/trim his beard for the last sketch (pageant) then put on a fake beard for the goodbyes?

Yeah, what was going on there? Great episode, really enjoyed everything aside from the terrible opening bit.

I believe that's what happened, which was brilliant in it's own right. Most of the Zach sketches were gold. Weekend Update was really horrible. All in all, one of the better Snls I've seen in years.

Agreed. Very Funny.

I also liked his Flute bit on What up with That. :lol:

"Hoobastank, no? Vampire Weekend."
"I'm not gonna lie to you, it involves a bidet."

Definitely the best monologue in a while. It always sucks when there's no Digital Short though. Is Andy working on a film?

i was wondering the same thing. i went back and watched some of the skits before the "shaved" skit and the end and the beard definitely looked different.

overall, this was one of the better snl's ive seen in a while! he was gold in every sketch he was in!

cracksky 03-07-10 07:41 AM

Re: SNL 03/06/10 - H: Zach Galifianakis - MG: Vampire Weekend
 
I'll be curious to see what Zach's face looks like tonight if he's at the Oscar's. He should have a full white Gandalf beard. That'd be classic.

I can see them doing bits on the late night talk shows about his beard for weeks now. Ugh.

Yeah, because Because Letterman always jokes about what happens on SNL!

Surprised to see the love. Pretty terrible episode all around. Once again, almost all the sketches were repeats.

Sorry a bunch of people threw a wrench in the normal DVDTalk SNL thread hate fest. Nothing like seeing everybody bitch about a show that they hate more than anything in the world and continue to watch each and every week. :lol: ;)

Usually I can only pull a few minutes out of SNL that I find truly hilarious, for me this week had more minutes than most.

I watched the monologue, which I enjoyed, then started watching the wake skit. Hmm. An uncomfortably familiar family? Seen it done before on SNL, and assumed the rest of the show would be just as derivative. I changed the channel and never looked back.

It wouldn't be the first time. Years ago when he was doing one of the talk shows (Conan I think), he just pulled off his beard mid-interview without saying a word about it.

I thought the stuff with Zach was awesome/funny, but the rest I didnt enjoy that much.

Awesome to see him on there though, hes hilarious.

I thought the monologue and the bits where Zach was actually allowed to do something (bidet, crashing other show's sets, pageant) were good, although the pageant bit was saved by the performances, since the writing wasn't anything special. The rest of the time it just felt like he was there as a sight gag.

Re: SNL 03/06/10 - H: Zach Galifianakis - MG: Vampire Weekend
 
I was really looking forward to Zach... and while he blew JLo out of the water, he was way under-utilized. I still look forward to this show each week but I never quite know why.

jpb07 03-08-10 02:56 PM

Re: SNL 03/06/10 - H: Zach Galifianakis - MG: Vampire Weekend
 
Great show aside from the wake sketch. They need to reach out to Watkins and see if she's willing to come back and take Wiig's place. Watching her in skits is like scrapping nails on a chalk board. Heck, as much as I dislike her I'd even take Tina Fey over this crap.

What up with that! reminds me a lot of the mid-90s Nat X....usually in the second half of the show and despite the same skit, they find a way to make it funny. Rudd did look miserable out there...who in the hell was the critic?

Yeah, I'm sure they'll take your advice and get rid of the most popular and frequently used actor on the show. I'm surprised they didn't get rid of her after that embarrassing Emmy nomination last year.

What's Up with That! delivers every single time for me. Glad they finally have something for Keenan to do since for me at least he delivers the funny.

I don't ever watch SNL anymore, but my finacee was watching this the other night while I was doing other things. She picked it up during the funeral sketch and I just didn't find ANYTHING funny the whole rest of the show that I saw. Vampire Weekend (who I'd never heard before) was very good though.

*looks at SNL ratings* Yep, that's about what I'd expect.

Re: SNL 03/06/10 - H: Zach Galifianakis - MG: Vampire Weekend
 
As a Zach fan (... one who hasn't yet seen The Hangover), I was looking forward to his monologue. But, as I already established, I like Zach... so absolutely none of this was new for me.
