only from about 90-95
whenever they fired everybody from the rdj/anthony michael hall cast and hired all new people til about when phil hartman left. if you see will farrell you've gone too far
Ethan Martin
Do yourself a favor and only watch the skits with kyle mooney. His work is literally the only funny thing SNL has ever produced.
Lincoln Moore
No, I guess everything was shit when it started so people watched it. Then some of the actors like Aykroyd, Belushi and Chase did some neat stuff outside of SNL so it got a status of legend.
Camden Harris
the 90's and sort of early 2000's.
Aaron Roberts
God no. It's always been cringeworthy 9Gag-tier trash, it just got hyped up because the boomers had no taste.
Zachary White
it was kinda good in late 70 with belushi
Landon Robinson
It is sketch comedy. It will always be hit and miss.
There were some funny skits all throughout its history. During the Eddie Murphy/Dan Ackroid years they had some funny ones. But every year has *some* funny ones.
If you watch every episode most of the skits will suck.
Carson Ross
I liked this sketch.

such a deprived generation

>I don't know thirty year olds are millenials
Caleb Butler
>he hasn't watched Japanese game shows
The characters they create for these shows are just as good as Karl Dilkington
Michael Bailey
Wtf no they're extremely cringeworthy. It's like watching children trying to be funny.
Elijah Young
Nah Japanese game shows are way funnier then American trash comedy
The top tier American comedy is slapstick which is so bad and stupid
Chase Jenkins
>then
Japanese game shows are fucking trash, my man. It looks like it was targeted towards children.
There's a lot of slapstick shit being made in the US, sure. But there's also a lot of good actual comedy. Whereas all Japanese comedy is overacting unfunny shit.
Besides, British comedy is better.
Aaron Green
Not as far as I know.
Josiah Diaz
I didn't know there were sane Americans till I read this thread. Thank you.
Matthew Turner
I've never seen a good SNL skit.

uuuuuuuuummmm how are japanese game shows anything BUT stupid slapstick
Ayden Wood
There's a lot of obvious filler shit, but there are occasionally some good skits.
Dylan James
it was pretty funny in the 90s, and in it's first couple of seasons in the late 70s
Robert Carter
Japanese comedy really went down hill since their property bubble burst in the early 90s.
Camden Hernandez
A lot depends on who the host is because they try and include the host in every skit.
So if the host has no comedic talent they tend to drag down the entire show.

Anything from the 2010s is rancid garbage.
Mason Cook
70s and 90s SNL is good.
