re: Back when Saturday Night Live was actually funny

Idk about funny but…

tGOAT

I can't tell how long ago they were but I know they were made after I stopped watching in the mid 90s.

Another good couple were the Bill Burr Sam Adams Beer mock ads.

Chevy and prior skit where prior said the first word that came to mind when chase said a word would be cancelled in todays times.


Eddie Murphy and the hot tub skit

Da Bears Da Bulls

Matt foley

1988-2000 was gold haven’t watched skit since 2000

great television

But she's no Charro

My neighbor used to have a "The Best of Eddie Murphy" VHS tape growing up. We would watch that shite on repeat. So many great skits like Mr White, the hot tub, Mr Robinson's neighborhood... it was the best.

I'm old enough to have watched season one live and I would say since the early 80's people have been saying "Back when Saturday Night Live was actually funny".

And watching an episode from season one back recently, There were about 4 skits where there was almost no laughter. So alot like today more skits seemed to be not successful that one's that were.....just my observation.

Exactly. People that say “back when it wuz funny” haven’t watched a full older episode in a while. Most of the skits weren’t good. You just forgot about those.

Tina Fey killed SNL that snarky scar faced count.

What an educated take. By the way that scar is from when she was five years old and attacked with a knife.
