There is an Arcade Fire concert special on NBC following this episode.

I'd marry Tina Fey.

Aaron Paul ftw

The "New Cast Member/Arcade Fire" game show was pretty funny.

badlieut

E-meth had me laughing.

skatefan20

"I can ride the Ice Pony anywhere!"

Regine is looking like Casey Wilson here.

Bill Needle

"Wanna know what happened to my friend?" "No!" cries the crowd in horror.

astrochimp

I'd marry Cecily Strong.

chowderhead

is it my faulty memory or didn't they used to haze the new members by not having them appear in the first episode?

Beehut

Awe, WTH? DirecTv said this was a repeat with Melissa McCarthy as host, so I didn't bother giving it a look...

Hazel Motes

Wow, when did The Arcade Fire become HORRIBLE?

Pretty lousy episode so far. The only time I laughed was during the airport sketch, when they were letting all farters onboard. The look on Bobby Moynihans face was priceless. i cracked up.

I really have low expectations for this season.

PenguinJoe

I thought when did Arcade Fire become Of Montreal?

I couldn't tell the new white guys apart but it was the first ep.

TheKing

Was I the only one expecting a parody of the AT&T commercials with the kids? I mean they have the guy now!

starman9000

That was earlier in the night, I almost did the same thing.

TGM

the Dax Shepard looking guy might not even finish out the season.

anomynous

If we're talking about the same guy, he's been a writer on the show for a couple of years. Don't think he's going anywhere.

TheMadMonk

I remember the days when a 3-piece band could make some great music.
Now, it apparently takes a dozen people in a band to make really mediocre music.

Troy Stiffler

Haha. Lots of hate for Arcade Fire. That's because they're hip and relevant.

SNL mostly has junk music that nobody really cares about. You get a band that people care about, and of course there's a lot of hate. And sweet, sweet love.

anomynous

No, it's because they're awful.


Never heard anything by them before, and I'm not going to go out of my way to listen to them after that "musoc" last night.

Bill Needle

Pretty awful season premier overall. Not that surprised since the show really took a downturn when Tina Fey became head writer. So between her hosting and all the new cast members I wasn't expecting much.

Troy Stiffler

Emeth? haha. I think that was the obvious joke. But I made that comment in the ecig thread awhile back.

rocketsauce

They are neither of those things. They're awful.

TheMadMonk

A band can be hip and relevant and still make shitty music.

Troy Stiffler

And music is judged by instinctual interpretation. Music is as subjective as fine art. I hear music from no-name labels, by no-name bands, that I sincerely think is some of the best ever.
