no doubt, this season of SNL has been erratic at best. some inspired moments, some controversy, but overall fairly lackluster.
The Rock was nothing short of brilliant. and from the cold open (which saw the return of The Rock Obama) it was obvious this was going to be an inspired show.
even Weekend Update was better than usual, but the 2 standout skits were:
Bambi remake
next to Christoph Walz's "Djesus Uncrossed" this was probably THE funniest fake movie trailer in the last few years. and yes I will be saying "Dear crossing mutha f**ka!!" for many months to come
WWE Promo Shoot
a bit of a slow burn, but man did it pay off. just dark and maniacal, like SNL used to be. pushed the boundaries of good taste past the edge, and I loved it. The Rock sells a completely deranged version of himself, but totally skewers the WWE and its quest to sink to new lows.
