Well said!!! The SNL myth (was funnier in the past than now) has been repeated so many times as to almost seem a fact. But that's pop culture for ya.... Ever watched a Murphy/Piscopo era SNL? If that is funnier than a recent SNL episode I'd be surprised. Sam put it best sketch comedy is hit or miss. I guess those without a DVR/TiVo can't "mine" for gold and find the best sketches week to week. Forget Snagglepuss when is Bobby Moynihan going to bring back his homeboy waiter charachter "How can you not smell that pepper??!!!"

Now if you'll excuse me I'm going to the local bar to drink PBR and tell everyone who will listen that major label debuts are worse than their indie label predecessors, books are better than films and that communism works in theory....

And I thought Justin Timberlake in dance tights was both hilarious and bizarrely hot.

Still, SNL is a great show, and it's plenty gay-friendly.

There was a great sketch from 2000 or so where frat guys wished for some real lesbian action, and got exactly that.

People who find things like the naked Andy Samburg/Paul Rudd video or the kissing family anti-gay are living about 20 years in the past and totally missing the point.

SNL is hit and miss because sketch comedy is hit and miss. It happens.

I thought it funny that SNL couldn't restrain itself from making Republican jokes even though the whole thing is over...and they still deify Barack Obama so there's no humor coming from that side of the aisle.

What's left? Just what you see...nada.

They're just mining for the next golden catch-phrase.
