jakobnicholas Posted October 6, 2008 Author Share Posted October 6, 2008 Seriously. They can only work with with the candidates give them. And that's what Palin gives them. I'm not gonna argue. That's fine. Palin deserves a little ridicule after the Couric interview. While I thought the Biden satire was a bit soft, I DO think Sudeikis was funny as Joe Biden. Politics aside, I still don't find Fey to be funny. She works as Palin because she looks so much like her. Then, she talks like a ditzy moron, and liberals have orgasms over how funny it is. OK. Whatever floats your all's boat. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

MrRain422 Posted October 6, 2008 Share Posted October 6, 2008 Biden is easier to parody than Obama, with the motormouth gaffes and the huge silly grin, but Palin is already a caricature to begin with. I thought the Lawrence Welk sketch was pretty funny. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
markosis Posted October 6, 2008 Share Posted October 6, 2008 she talks like a ditzy moron, and liberals have orgasms over how funny it is. Actually, Fey talks pretty much like Palin, with small dose of embellishment. Have you noticed how much of Fey's dialogue is lifted word-for-word from Palin? Its funny because its so close to the real thing, and the real thing is funny. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

RainDogToo Posted October 6, 2008 Share Posted October 6, 2008 Mary Poppins was good, and I showed my mom the Lawrence Welk thing and she enjoyed that one a lot. The Biden/ Palin was brilliant and as usual Tina was great with her dead on impression! However, I laughed histerically at the Lawrence Welk skit. In fact, I haven't laughted that hard at an SNL skit in years, maybe since Tina, Horitio Sanz, Chris Parnell and Rachel Dratch left the show! I just loved it! I wish Kristin Wiig would be in more skits! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Oil Can Boyd Posted October 6, 2008 Share Posted October 6, 2008 this bit slayed me ......http://www.nbc.com/Saturday_Night_Live/vid...animals/727504/I am still not sure why I find that skit so funny but I do.I showed it to three people in my office (who are normally pretty funny) and none of them liked it.

Good Old Neon Posted October 6, 2008 Share Posted October 6, 2008 Chill. Fine. Most on this board think Palin is under-qualified and an embarrassment. I don't agree, but I'M FINE WITH PEOPLE WHO THINK THAT. MY POINT IS....in my opinion, Fey is NOT funny. Is the Palin bit funny? Apparently, if you lean Democrat it's hysterical, if you don't, it ranges from mildly entertaining to annoying. The Biden impersonation was funny, BECAUSE Jason Sedeikis added some caricature to Biden....Sudeikis is actually a funny guy....unlike Fey. I don Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Atticus Posted October 6, 2008 Share Posted October 6, 2008 I laughed my ass off at the Palin impression, with the exception of the crack about the "unwilling teenagers" which I thought was a little below the belt. The voice and "not ending ing verbs with any 'g' sound" stuff was hilarious... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Party @ the Moontower Posted October 6, 2008 Share Posted October 6, 2008 MSNBC said there is a rumor Palin will appear on SNL to have some fun with Tina Fey. That might actually help Palin look intelligent. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jenbobblehead Posted October 6, 2008 Share Posted October 6, 2008 MSNBC said there is a rumor Palin will appear on SNL to have some fun with Tina Fey. That might actually help Palin look intelligent.Well, if she does that she'll certainly appear to have a sense of humor. I just hope that the SNL people don't kowtow to her if she goes on the program. I hate it when they do that. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RaspberryJam Posted October 6, 2008 Share Posted October 6, 2008 It was hilarious. Regardless of I'm voting for, and yes, I am decided, I found both of the impersonations funny. To me, it really doesn't matter who I side with. If I am lucky enough to have the candidate I am voting for win, I'm looking forward to how they would handle that. All's fair on SNL "I practiced a couple zingers where I called you Joe." I also thought talking with animals was funny and the most youtubed newscast. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jakobnicholas Posted October 6, 2008 Author Share Posted October 6, 2008 I laughed my ass off at the Palin impression, with the exception of the crack about the "unwilling teenagers" which I thought was a little below the belt. I'm glad YOU brought this up. It WAS tasteless and is one of the reasons I sense a little mean-ness in Palin's impersonation as opposed to Biden's or Bill Clinton's or W. Bush....who are just eccentric, casanova-like or goofy dumb. But all of this is pretty silly arguing about. Humor is subjective and we all have our reasons for finding something funny. To me, I can see Fey TRYING to be funny. There's no illusion for me. She's obviously a phenomenal writer, but for me, she's not talented enough to pull off an impersonation. Same goes for Armisen as Obama. Same goes when Will Forte tried doing Bush and when Seth Myers lamely did John Kerry. This is just my opinion. When Will Ferrell did W. Bush, I could get lost in the caricature and find it genuinely hilarious. Same with Carvey's over-the-top HW Bush ("naw-gonna-dow-it"). Same with Hammond's Gore impersonation.

myboyblue Posted October 6, 2008 Share Posted October 6, 2008 I laughed my ass off at the Palin impression, with the exception of the crack about the "unwilling teenagers" which I thought was a little below the belt.Isn't it true? She is essentially condoning her teenage daughter get married to save political face. Even if she is morally obligated to feel they need to get married, it's an absurd idea. SNL is just pointing out what is absurd. I thought that was one of the funnier moments...along with "I practiced a couple of zingers where I call you Joe". Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mrs. Peel Posted October 6, 2008 Share Posted October 6, 2008 Mary Poppins was good, and I showed my mom the Lawrence Welk thing and she enjoyed that one a lot. I was hysterical every time "Bert" walked around and made all those cymbal crashes and horn honks. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
