That does suck, she was my fav in Upright Citizens Brigade.

Which is why I'm glad she's leaving SNL. The last time I laughed at SNL was... I dunno, maybe back in 99 when I thought it wasn't all that funny anyways. But now I actually get embarrassed watching the show sometimes, especially when people like Amy Poehler have been in some of my most favorite stuff ever.

She had a cameo in an episode of Wondershowzen that was hilarious.

If SNL is not gonna be funny, it might as well have unfunny people in it. Hell, Mad TV has terribly unfunny people, and it's funnier than SNL.

Of course, I don't like Chris Farley or Will Ferrell* that much, so my opinion probably counts for jack shit to most people.

Anyways, those two look like they are playing the parts well in that video. No sound at work so I can't tell.

*Funny thing, I pretty much hate any SNL skit involving Will Ferrell, but I somehow love Anchorman and Blades of Glory?? Further evidence that my opinion counts for shit.

Even the Cowbell skit?

Ugh. Especially the cowbell skit.

To me, modern SNL is like a bunch of comedians repeatedly yelling "hey, hey, hey, look at me, hey, i'm being funny!" than a bunch of comedians actually using jokes to be humorous.

Thank you, I never thought the cowbell skit was funny....and it nearly ruined a classic song for me.....it's funny, I play a live ( & cowbell-less) version of 'Reaper" when I 'DJ' sometime, & sure enough, people play air cowbell to it.....

I thought the Dick In The Box thing was pathetic, too, though....go figure...

What are we all, 15?

(I'm one to talk......I'm generally down with potty humour....)

I dunno.

Comedy has sunk, though, to be sure.

THIS JUST IN: SHANE KENNEDY LIKES NOTHING.

SHOCKER.

this is not true. shane likes what he thinks you should like.

Yeah, I kind of like SNL. I thought this one was pretty funny.

Also, that one with Poehler as the spazzy girl and Rick is soooo funny. You are so right about that one. She is also funny in the ones where she plays that white trash girl with only one leg who says things like "Yeah, I farted...Jealous?" So is The Falconer, especially the one where the falcon goes to that frat party and has the mini glowstick in it's talon, is pumping the keg with his other talon, and has the Dr. Suess hat on. So is Target Lady, but I can't find a clip for it.
