Rejecting Your Hipster Displeasure: The Best SNL Sketches of the ...

With only a few short weeks until the return of that NBC staple, I thought we could just head this off at the pass.

“SNL hasn’t been funny in years.”

“Who cares? SNL is terrible.”

“What’s SNL?”

That’s my favorite. NO ONE THINKS YOU’RE FUCKING COOL, ASSHOLE WHO PRETENDS TO NEVER HAVE HEARD OF THINGS.

I loathe non-specific dismissals. If you’re going to dismiss, do like Backstreet and tell me why-y, but don’t fight the battle of who could care less in my comments thread. While I wait for your derision, I will share with you the goodness you’ve been missing while doing cool things like not owning a television and wearing scarves all summer. But, first, I’d like to blow your mind with some factual truth to repeat to yourself whilest repeating an additional chant of “it’s just a show; I should really just relax.”

SNL is as good as it’s ever been. As it’s always been. A smattering of decent, a couple terrible, a few bright burning lights of genius. And then we all change channels during the musical guest unless it’s someone really good.

I’m not going to be a complete and total Pollyanna here. Changes need to be made, namely in terms of cast member screentime. Let’s take a look at this pie chart, courtesy of SplitSider.

God, I hate Fred Armisen. He is laughter apartheid. And I’d love to see more of Nasim, Taran and Paul Brittain (I concur with Split Sider. Pharaoh is great when it comes to impressions, but dull the rest of the time). But, within the last three seasons of this television stalwart, it’s shown that it’s still relevant, it’s still funny and it’s still better than anything else on Saturday nights, so what else are you going to do?
