SNL must be like bad quality candy that is so part and parcel of one's childhood that one can never quite outgrow it or fail to not cherish it, despite now knowing that nearly candy from any other part of the world has superior, wholesome and more nourishing ingredients than the HFCS-sweetened, off-tasting, peanut-packed kind - the only kind - you've known growing up.
For the most part - and with the exception of unintended humor owing to the broadcasted-live nature of the show - I've never really found SNL to be very funny or talented or thought-provoking. I never quite got what the fuss was all about.

- not2b 4y agoIt is mostly bad, but occasionally they do something good; I would call this one example of that. Not worth sitting through the whole show, but the better bits can be found on YouTube or NBC's site.
- ralphc 4y agoThe good stuff will come to you, you'll read about it at Salon or Buzzfeed or see it trending on Twitter.
- mcphage 4y agoSadly, we’re not all as smart as you.
- dylan604 4y agoPhew, if this is the outlook of one after becoming "that smart", I'm happy being a mindless dolt in comparison. Guilty pleasures in life are a good thing
- mcphage 4y agoWell, the original commenter clearly seems to think so. Whether that's in any way true or not is left as an exercise for the reader.
- germinalphrase 4y agoWell, it’s much closer to improv than your standard scripted television comedy. Whatcha going to do - sketch is a niche comedy style.
- dylan604 4y agoto be fair, they have only a few days to create each episode. that's a fantastic amount of work. it's not like they can just download a JS framework and bang out something over a weekend.
- agentwiggles 4y agoI largely agree, even the skits that are considered all time classics fall a bit flat for me. (I'm sorry in advance, but the cowbell sketch comes to mind). There have definitely been occasional hits, though.

- Uhhrrr 4y agoOkay, which weekly live sketch show do you prefer? For me, the virtues of SNL are that Weekend Update usually has good topical jokes, and once in a while there's a sketch like "Potato Chip" or "Monkey Judge".
- gaws 4y agotl;dr: I don't like SNL. Cool, bro.
