The only thing more obnoxious than Arcade Fire are their overzealous defenders. They're like the Joss Whedon of bands.

Love this quote from Zap2it:
"Given the collective critical reverence for Arcade Fire , it's easy to forget how adorable they really are. They're like if kittens and puppies could play instruments and only wore clothing made from Christmas garland. For that, they totally made the digital short. And their performances were hands down the best of the season."

Nothing against their music, but seeing Arcade Fire makes me miss actual rock stars. I also feel like I have to beat them up and take their lunch money.

All in all, the whole show was kinda meh. Thought the Unstoppable parody was kinda funny. Also, Bush and Kanye made me chuckle. Easily the worst digital short ever.

The Bush and Kanye thing in WU was a wasted opportunity. If that's the best they could come up with after what happened this week, then it's obvious that was more like a safe little parody so that they can get Kanye to come back on the show.
I like Arcade Fire, but I have to agree Regine didn't sound so good on that song last night. Maybe it was just not a good night for her--Sometimes voices are temperamental.
Most of the show was a snorefest, and the Obama/Hu Jintao rehash made me feel like I was watching a repeat.
BTW, the Jon Hamm/Rhianna show was a new one?? I purposely missed it thinking it had been on already!

I liked the Unstoppable trailer, M-TV bit, the Paula Dean bit, and the Disney Channel teenager show but it was a fairly weak episode compared to Jon Hamm and Emma Stone.

The Unstoppable trailer was funny, but I'm a little worried about Jay Pharoah. All he seems to be doing is impressions. One week it's Denzel, then it's Will Smith, next week it'll be Chris Rock. He's good, but let him doing something else.
I liked the child actresses bit the best, and I did laugh at the broken-knee skit although I'm not sure what the joke was. I just thought Thompson's delivery on the floor was amusing.

And what's wrong with that? Facially, I see prettier girls every time I go to the bar... and I already mentioned she has a great body

Is there anywhere to catch this online? They are showing a Lions Club Telethon on NBC in my area.

The first performance was brutally boring, the second (or whichever it was with the girl singing) wasn't good but it was an improvement at least.

Loved the Denzel impersonation only because it shows how ridiculously narrow his range is. I preferred the skit few weeks ago where he worked in customer service return of a department store.
Liked Kenan skit just for the over-the-top performance and how it seemed to parody those Lifetime or Oscar bait movies where someone becomes a paraplegic.

Re: Please Help Out
Can somebody help me post a survey that I am doing for my graduate thesis on branded entertainment in movies? It does not allow me to post it before making 30 posts or more...and I do not want to spam your forums! Thank you!

Enjoyed the Millionaire Matchmaker sketch and the Manuel Ortiz show. Couldn't sit through Arcade Fire, they'd put me to sleep if not for being the ugliest band since Nickelback.
