This was a great skit in my opinion. It made fun of Yo Gabba Gabba on Nickelodeon, and I thought it was totally on point. However, much like their skit that made fun of the Insane Clown Posse, I don't think a lot of people understood it because they targeted something that isn't very famous.

And fwiw, Kenan is one of the worst cast members I have ever seen.

I haven't seen this week's yet, but I really like Gilly usually when they have it.

It's the same thing every time. I just don't get it. It's borderline strange.

Its terrible. I can't remember the last really funny skit.

Some that I really like:

--the ones when Will Forte is the lockerroom coach who breaks out into dance

--Scared Straight - it's one of the only funny ones that Kenan does

--2 A-holes - whatever happened to this one? it was great

I think most people that talk about how bad the show is, don't watch it.

The show has always been hit and miss. Even in the glory years the show was hit and miss.

People that opine for the days of Belushi, Murray and Akroyd would probably gnaw their own hand off if I tied them down and made them watch 5 hours of the supposed glory years.

There has never been a time when the show was more hit than miss. That last half-hour has always been the place laughs go to die.

I don't agree. I think the early 90's, late 90's and even early 00's were more hit than miss. Plus, any season that had Norm doing Weekend Update meant that it was worth watching just for that.

The show has pretty much blew in my opinion since Will Farrell left. No doubt one of the top 3 or 4 funniest people they ever had on the show.

disagree. The last half hour has always been more "experimental" and therefore less mainstream. But I have never associated a decline in quality there in the past.

you must be really young. he isn't even in the top 10, possibly top 20 of that show. he was really funny, but they guys from the 80's and early 90's are head and shoulders funnier than him.

(Farley, Sandler, Spade, Murphy, Belushi, Hartman, Radner, Chase, McDonald, just to name a few)

This.

I don't understand why people waste a couple of hours on this show every week anymore. Just wait to hear about what skits were great when that actually happens and then go find them on the internet. The only ones of late that I have heard of and checked out later and agreed were funny pretty much all involved Justin Timberlake. Other than that for the most part.
