re: Lorne Michaels should bash in Tim Dillon’s door for SNL

Not sure why you guys want these comedians with a narrow appeal to move to SNL where they’d have to dumb down their shtick for the general audience.

If you watched the 9pm rerun last night it was hosted by Phil Hartman and was packed with OJ jokes, a cartoon where Michael Jackson is run out of Europe for grabbing boys, and the Joe Pesci Show where Pesci and Sinatra beat the crap out of Michael Jackson.

They’ll show that as a rerun, but that humor wouldn’t fly in the new episodes.

There was Neverland Ranch joke in the rerun from this season that aired 90 minutes later

---

Did they show MJ grabbing multiple little boys away from their parents and then have four guys beat him to the ground and then kick him mercilessly?
And the OJ nervous on a blind date skit was pretty tame.

I really don’t, but if this were the 90s then absolutely. The point is that SNL is a relic where only someone like Tim Dillon could save it, but it’s merely a cathedral to the Woke right now. If Lorne gave me his job, I’d fire at least half the cast and try to go after these actual funny people.

I mean, if some SNL dweeb wants to tell me Keenan isn't actually good at sketch comedy, I guess I'll listen

But he comes off as likable, light hearted and amusing in almost every sketch he's in. Half the cast consists of self-loathing white people and he's the polar opposite.

He's pure fun in a show that is increasingly not fun at all

Never heard of him. I watched the stuff you posted, he's like Artie Lange and Alex Jones combined. Obnoxious and unfunny.

If you don’t find any of them funny, then I think you may be the problem.

Or maybe I didn't think he was amusing and your lousy taste in fat obnoxious a-hole "comedians" is the problem. Comparing him to Norm is shameful.

God, his weed rant reminds me a so much of a couple of my friends. We're men of a certain age now, but still can pretty much only converse about music or movies. Sometimes conspiracy theories. And that's fine, it fills a niche between friends who only want to talk about sports or politics or whatever. But it gets a little weird sometimes feeling like we've been having the same conversation since were freshmen in high school sitting in the cafeteria. It's pointless to try to talk about real life or anything that sounds heavy with them.

Two of the outright hilarious people on earth, only in very very different ways. Tim Dillon also loves Jones. He gets him.

I suppose that's true. One's a blowhard conspiracy nutbag snake oil salesman and the other hoovered up so much coke he no longer has a nose. Two sad sacks of funny right there.

His Megan McCain bit is original and hilarious as hell.

Nah, it's a dead politician incest bit. Whoopty do. It's supposed to be shocking, I guess.
