That Wiig "surprise" girl sketch is pretty much the same every time, I think the "rack" comment was the only distinguishing thing about the boss this time. Maya was the focus on the Miley show.

I found it ironic that the monologue was basically about him breaking out of just being the creepy guy in movies, and most of these skits were based around how creepy he looks.
I also thought it was ironic. Buscemi isn't a strong comedic personality so maybe it was for the best, but I feel like they could have had a sketch or two where he played a stronger character. Most of the show he was either a straight man or just being passively strange.

Batman and Drunk Uncle were the highlights, although I did chuckle a few times at the Christmas tree skit.

The Batman DS and coach skit cracked me up. Otherwise, meh.

That's about where I'm at. I did kind of enjoy a few other bits (the Christmas tree bit for example) and hated some others (Maya Rudolph in another cringe inducing show draining appearance). I was hoping for more though, as for me Buscemi has a little of that Christopher Walken magic to him, where anything he does is a little better just because it is him doing it.
