    The best SNL sketches have Christopher Walken in them. This one is pretty funny at first but SNL tends to do these types of skits where they simply repeat the same "punchline" over and over, which becomes quite predictable. Even the venerable Christopher Walken has succumbed to the banality of such skits during his brief appearance a Colonel Angus.

    you also probably shouldn't link through myspace since people have to log in to view it.

    What the hell is a coark. Also, I didn't click the link, but I have the video saved on my computer. =] Yeah, it's funny.

    Yeah, Christopher Walken kicks ass. Alec Baldwin, Tom Hanks and John Goodman are also fantastic. And they're all fantastic actors what a coincidence. Most of the sports players who go on the show suck.

    The show's really gone downhill, though. And it used to be so great.

    The problem is with SNL is that they are not establighing new trends, but rather, just falling back on what works, or seems to work to make people laugh. I've seen more people get laughs at the "lovers" sketches, simply because Will Ferrell was back (not to trounce on his skill), than sketches that were actually funny. They need more people who actually do things properly.

    The one recurring sketch that I absolutely hated was the Debbie Downer ones; they weren't funny at all, and I'm pretty optimistic most of the time, I'll ignore anything that'll ruin my day, but what gets me is that people actually laugh at it for it's comedic value, which is non-existant. If people were laughing because they were sadistic jackasses, that would make more sense.

    There are boatloads of more sketches that are funnier than the Cork Soakers. One that comes to mind is Jamba Juice with Natalie Portman, and the short video clip of her rapping. Now THAT was genius. But I'm also a fan of Baldwin's, Hanks', Walken's, and Goodman's works. Jeopardy works, too.

    However, I heard that both Tina Fey and Rachel Dratch left the show. I wonder what of a direction it will take.

    New SNL doesn't hold a candle to old SNL.

    I think Tina Fey is pretty funny but she's been head writer for most of the crappiness, so perhaps her departure will be good for the show.

    Does Chris Farley constitute old SNL now? My favorite old sketch is Richrd Pryor and Chevy Chase's word association job interview, although I don't know that it's appropriate to post here.

    Yeah, those 'repeat the same line because it sounds dirty' sketches get old quickly.

    The Jeopardy ones are great.

    People liked the first Debbie Downer sketch because everyone in it was cracking up, and that was really funny. Horatio Sanz was dabbing his eyes with pancakes.

    The 70's Saturday Night Live cast was great. If anyone can find a "Wild and Crazy Guys" sketch online, I'll love them forever.

    At least Weekend Update is better than it was.

    No. The best sketch ever was the america's next top model sketch where Tina Fey played Janice. Good times.

    Yeah, they stink. I think I started hating the sketch and new the outcome of it after the theme song and boy did it suck.
