Saturday Night Live – Sump’n Claus
I’ve always laughed at this sketch. Even if you’re too naughty for Santa, Sump’n will get you a little sump’n:
Walking Dead Chapelle’s Show on SNL
Hey 3.5 readers/Walking Dead fans.
BQB here.
Dave Chapelle parodied the Neegan baseball bat scene from The Walking Dead using Chapelle’s show characters.
Chapelle’s Show was so funny…like one of those rare sketch comedy shows where every sketch was hilarious. I wish he’d made more.
Anyway, here it is:
#31WaysToDefeataVampire – Way #25 – David S. Pumpkins
By: Count Krakovich, Asshat Vampire
BQB can’t stop watching it.
You can’t either.
Vampires definitely can’t.
Is a vampire trying to bite you?
Just show them SNL’s David. S. Pumpkins.
Doo doo dee doo doo dee doo doo…
I Literally Can’t Stop Watching David S Pumpkins
Like the characters in the SNL Haunted Elevator sketch who can’t understand why David S Pumpkins is scary, I can’t figure out why this sketch is so funny. It just is.
And I can’t stop watching it.
I’m retiring from writing, 3.5 readers.
I will now spend every second of my day watching David S. Pumpkins.
What does the S stand for? I want to know!
SNL – David S. Pumpkins
Forget Philadelphia.
Step aside, Forrest Gump.
Go away, Castaway.
The David S. Pumpkins sketch (aka Haunted Elevator sketch) on Saturday Night Live is the best thing that Tom Hanks has ever done in his career.
I wonder if David S. Pumpkins is the long lost brother of Larry David’s Kevin “Can a bitch get a donut?” Roberts.
Who Does the Best Trump Impression?
Your choices are:
A) Jimmy Fallon
B) Darrell Hammond on SNL
C) Alec Baldwin on SNL, who just started doing one this past weekend.
Tough call – I thought the sketch where Jimmy as Trump interviewed the real Trump was funny but I think I have to go with Hammond because he’s such a master impressionist and has been impersonating Trump for a long time, long before the whole presidential race hullaballoo.
What say you, 3.5 readers?
SNL takes on Ugliness/Prettiness
Ugly rights activist BQB here.
I found this skit hysterical.
So a reporter announces a sinkhole has swallowed up a bunch of cars at a shopping mall. He starts to interview the couple but then it quickly devolves into the reporter and the other reporters in the studio questioning an ugly nerd on how he ended up married to a hot chick played by Margot Robbie.
Its funny because none of us admit it but so many relationships are based on looks. Even as an ugly person if I see an ugly person with an attractive person I immediately think the ugly person must be rich or have something exciting going on in his/her life.
And even when the ugly person isn’t rich and/or doesn’t have an exciting life I immediately think the attractive person is a saint on par with Mother Theresa because inside I know if I were attractive I’d be chasing down hot babes all day long.
Or would I? Maybe if I were attractive I’d be happy in my own skin and wouldn’t feel the need to do that.
Sounds like a real chicken vs. the egg scenario.
Ugly bias, people. Its real…and funny.
RIP John McLaughlin
Hey 3.5 readers.
John McLaughlin, host of the McLaughlin group, died this week at age 89, which surprises me greatly because I thought he was 89 like 30 years ago.
Is that relevant to this blog? Well, this blog is more about pop culture than politics but to make it short and sweet, you wouldn’t have the many, many, perhaps too many talking head pundit shows that you have today without John McLaughlin.
He had a certain style about him. Or should I say, “formula?”
The formula:
- Announce the issue and the number he has assigned to it. Give the issue a snappy title.
- Address one of the panelists with a quirky nickname. (Journalist Fred Barnes became “Freddie the Beatle Barnes” for example.
- Shout “wrong!” then move on to the next panelist.
- After every panelist was done, he’d declare they were all wrong and explain how his take on the issue was the most accurate one.
Admittedly, he wasn’t that bad. But when I was a kid, I was in love with Saturday Night Live.
I think every kid who is into humor falls in love with SNL at some point.
Back in those days it was Dana Carvey, Adam Sandler, Kevin Nealon, Mike Myers, Chris Rock, etc.
Anyway, I used to watch Dana Carvey do his masterful impressions of the first President Bush, H. Ross Perot, the Church Lady, etc.
And then I’d do my rendition of Dana’s impression.
One of the funniest impressions Dana did was of John McLaughlin. I’d incorporate it around the house, telling various family members they were, “wrong!”
Was I a no-life having kid who was into things that kids should find boring?
Was it that this was pre-10 million channels plus streaming everything and I didn’t have cable and only had like 5 channels?
A little from column A. A little from Column B.
Anyway, here’s a clip from NBC of Dana doing his John McLaughlin impression.
Saddest part is that Chris Farley is dead (heart attack) and Phil Hartman is dead (shot by wife).
Sigh.
Jon Snow on Saturday Night Live (Funny but SPOILERY)
“Hello. Tis I, Melisandre. Remember? With the thousand year old puss.”
Ha. Saturday Night Live opines Jon Snow’s resurrection took too long:
