Yes, Wigg has done a handful of Orman sketches. Most are about a 6 on the funny scale.

I like it when they do the blind governor of New York during Weekend Update. Yes, this show sucked. Justin's should have been the finale. |

bubblemuffin wrote: You just described the 3 or 4 Suze Orman sketches they've done. Here's the formula: Wiig establishes that she can do a pretty good Orman impression, makes a joke about her gaudy jackets, makes a gay joke, makes another jackets joke, takes calls from people who want to buy things they have no business considering, calls everyone "friends", makes another jackets joke. Ends with the line "Remember people first, then money, then jackets, then things." It's funnier than it sounds. Funny enough that I took this cap of "Pam and Jan's Female Specific Barber Shop and Colour House" located in Tucson. I think I originally had an intention of photoshopping my face over Wiig's but never got around to it...

It's like he's always taking a round peg and using a sledge hammer to smash it into a square hole screaming, "I WILL BE FUNNY." He's a ball-holder and not a passer in the same league as Barbra Streisand and Jim Carey- acting and comedy is a game of catch back and forth with your partner(s). |

Yea not so much
Who do you find funny? I doubt their box office receipts will trounce his. Every comic actor is "Look at me" at least he's not a Jim Carey who never makes side projects or produces other projects like Will with Eastbound and Down. I don't think Will is any different from Sandler and Murphy who each made movies with an group. He is not the funniest person ever but u have to be lying if u don't think he is mildly funny...or just someone that doesn't get comedy. |

I want a full sketch carried by Forte's creepy blonde white nationalist eulogist
I thought it was funny the Goodnight Saigon guest-stars were my favourite host of the season & my least favourite host of the season (omh, we get it Paul Rudd, you're a heterosexual man with a strong attachment to male friends, get some new schtick  )

I'm not a huge Will Ferrel fan either. The few movies of his I've seen, I haven't found very funny at all. But, I'm not a fan of that brand of
comedy in general. Different people like different sorts of comedy.
I doubt their box office receipts will trounce his. In the same country where movies like Paul Blart Mall Cop and all those shitty, shitty spoofs were huge money-makers, I don't really think box office is the ultimate indicator of what's funny. |

I don't want to get into a debate about what is funny.
And the box office is typically dictated by teenaged boys with disposable incomes. I've heard Will is a lovely person by people who have worked with him, and no ego at all. To me, what is funny is something that is grounded in truth without the person commenting on it. Doesn't mean it can't be broad and ridiculous. One of the funniest things that always makes me laugh is Julie Hagerty in Airplane! rationally telling everyone, "Everything is going to be fine and not to worry... oh, by the way, is there anyone on board who knows how to fly a plane?" She's fully committed to the action and the reality -the audience does the work. I love the heart that Gilda Radner would bring to something -whether it be playing a little girl doing make believe in her room, or her stint with Bill Murray playing the two love-lorn nerds. It works because there's something we can identify in it -it transcends just a punchline. My favorite comedies are ones that I'm in awe of -things that are so calculated in their composition yet effortless in its presentation. His Girl Friday has to be seen to be believed. Preston Sturges making the dirtiest movies while under the constraints of the Hayes Code. Billy Wilder's Some Like It Hot. Diane Keaton saying everything and nothing while delivering a one take monologue about a free turkey and her shell-shocked uncle in Annie Hall... those are some of my favorite things. |

My favorite comedies are ones that I'm in awe of -things that are so calculated in their composition yet effortless in its presentation.But SNL has never really been able to do that due to the constraints of live comedy that has to be rushed through in a week or so. All the big stars have been more about energy, even the less frenetic castmembers like Akroyd and Hartman. Not that you can't have incredibly well-constructed broad material (Marx Brothers ftw!), but that normally takes long, long time to hone. |

oh, of course.
he just asked what I find funny. I was rambling, that's all. I'm part of Upright Citizen's Brigade, and some of their stuff is incredible, and it's usually the stuff that isn't set up for a joke. Poor Will. I guess I like him just fine. |

I didn't watch the last sketch, or the goodbye to Darryl. Did they say anything about Don Pardo leaving the announcer spot? |

Also, I don't know if anyone else feels this way but I will always remember the Single Ladies' sketch thanks to JT in a leotard.

know how to swim. One of my all-time favorites.
And Christopher Guest as the coach: "Now you're pointing at each other...Hey, you, I know you! I know you! No, you're not angry at him. You're just pointing...." Definitely a precursor to his Waiting for Guffman character. So glad I DV'rd this. |

The only one they left out that should have definitely been there was Gilda Radner and Steve Martin in "The Dance."

Does anyone have a video link of that skit where people use a translator for moms who can't remember celebrities' names?
That's my mom all over so I really need to show her. Keeping in mind I'm not an American citizen so very few links actually work. |

Can anyone remember one skit this year that will be remembered forever? Aside from Digital Shorts, I have an easy top three this year 3. Fred Armisen screwing around with the interactive election map ("I can make Michigan bounce") 2. Game Time with Dave and Greg. Greg is not an alien. ("Way to gooo, Chuck! Haw hawww!") 1. The Goodnight Saigon extravaganza. Only the presence of Artie Lange kept this one from reaching all-time classic status. |
