I'd like to take a swing at him with a barbed-wire bat. I do only because he was so bad on SNL. He would always break character and I love when that happens. However, if every character broke down all the time, it wouldn't become funny: it would become stupid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kid Gleason Posted August 3, 2006 Share Posted August 3, 2006 There is always good reason for rage when talking about modern SNL. That show hasn't been funny since the mid 80's and it just keeps getting worse and worse. Terrible show. That Prospector thing was stupid.

I think you could make a case for the early 90s (if you appreciate slapstick humor) with Farley, Spade and some of the early Ferrell/Tim Meadows work as to when it stopped being funny...with those guys being the last gasps of laughter to come out of that show.

I think that SNL has currently a habit of being dragged along wherever society has taken it. The more pre-packaged, dumbed down, and sold off for marketing society has become, the more SNL has become dumbed down and loaded with pop culture jokes.

Roxbury was hilarious, many people in my gerneration love the movie. The 90's were funny, and Farrell's whole time there was unreal it was so funny. Yeah the old 70's had some good humor, but to each generation has its own set of jokes etc. Calling certain time periods the "glory days" really just means it was a long time ago. Between great casts there is always a lull. Its just the period afterwards which makes it worth it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm just saying that most of the SNL produced films were total pantloads (Roxbury, Superstar, Ladies Man etc.) Will Ferrell's time on SNL was funny but I liked the humor better when Farley and Hartman were doing the same style of things. Yes, I'll agree that some sketches like Jeopardy! were funny -- but that was as much Hammond carrying the bit as Connery than anything else. Calling something the glory days doesn't necessarily mean a long time ago. It just means a time when the sketches were actually funny -- which is something SNL hasn't been since the mid-90s.

Im older than you, and people of our age group, at least people I went to school with thought that many of those films are hilarious. Maybe you are just a salty man? The 90's were a good time, but when they burst on the scene people were saying that they werent as funny as the 80's and the 70's etc etc. its the same pattern over and over again. Glory days is just a rosy memory of things past. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kid Gleason Posted August 4, 2006 Share Posted August 4, 2006 Find me one person on the new SNL that has a glimmer of the talent that Bill Murray has. Or John Belushi...or Chevy Chase in his prime...or Gilda Radner. Will Ferrell is the best that show has turned out since Eddie Murphy, and no matter how much I might enjoy Ferrell, even he is nothing compared to those guys in their prime. I will agree with the generational thing to a degree, but with Murray and Belushi especially, there was no generation divide. Heck, I hear younger people speak poorly about Sandler as much as people my age. He yells...a lot...is that humor (sit down Mr. Kinison)? That divide rarely happened with Murray. Hey, but if you like SNL and all it's cast, then what the heck, ignore me. I'm old and forgetting where I put my dentures anyways. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
