Saturday Night Live has aired since it’s premier on NBC since October 11, 1975. The cool thing about this show is there is a different host every time a new episode is made. You will always be surprised. The producer of this show is Lorne Michaels. Saturday Night Live can be described as a late night sketch-comedy television program. It’s television series normally starts in September and ends in May with 20 live episodes per season. SNL has been the highest rated late night show in America since 1977. It has reviews all over the inter web! Lets take a closer look at an episode.
On September 15, Seth MacFarlane hosted and did a great job. The Politicians opened the show where Fred Armison, the Barack Obama impersonator doing a podium speech got a bunch of laughs. Jason Sudeikis impersonated Romney and got just as many laughs from the audience.
Next, Seth MacFarlane shared his hilarious impersonations with the audience such as, Peter Griffen, Stewie, George Takei, Marty McFly and many more. This got a great reaction from the audience and I will definitely have to agree with the audience.
After Seth came up, they did a gangnam style scene. This is a meme originally created by kpop star Psy. In this scene, the actors worked at a hat store called “Lids”. When the employees were feeling down in the dumps, they would press a button and someone would come out of a room and start doing the gangnam style dance, which was absolutely hilarious.
Next up was Seth Meyers weekend updates. Seth Meyers talked about Chris Brown’s new tattoo of a battered woman. Seth Meyers delivered a quote, “You know you’ve made a bad decision when having a neck tattoo is the second worst thing than having a neck tattoo”, that got a laugh out of everyone although a lot of people disliked this because of the fight between Rhianna and Chris Brown.
After that was Ryan Lochte’s Fall TV preview where Seth MacFarlane impersonated an Olympic medalist. He pronounced Matthew Perry’s “Go On” as “goon” to commercials with short TV shows.
Next, FrankOcean performed two songs which were, “thinkin bout you” and “pyramids” which got a positive reaction from the audience.
Then came puppet therapy. Bill Hader which played a war vet, worked out his issues through ventriloquism which wasn’t the most humorous set but was very creative.
Now, Sadly, there were some low points of this show. The scene called, “Sex over 50” was just not funny and people found it weird and disturbing and to graphic. Also, the scene about Honey Booboo which was over for a while now. Although some of Cecily Strong performance’s made us laugh, it wasn’t the greatest.
There are many opinions on SNL. Some say it’s offensive. I find maybe 25% of it funny. It’s made for an older audience I would have to say. And people with a better sense of humour. It wouldn’t be the first thing I would want too watch but I hope I got a laugh out of you!


I think you did a great job summarizing the show. Nice job on giving your opinion and the audiences opinions. Overall it was a great review, only I would like to have seen maybe another picture!
ReplyDeleteAt first the beginning was more informational I think, it didn't really keep me hooked. As I read on though it was well written. the use of links and pictures was used nicely, the links gave much information on the celebrities which was helpful getting to know them. The tone of the article flows nicely. All the personal comments and personal opinions gave me more of a connection with the writer and reader was done well.
ReplyDeleteFrom reading this article, it seems like a decent show. Great way of expressing your opinions. I could easily understand what was going on in the show, but was a bit bland at first. overall, good job on the review.
ReplyDeleteYou did a wonderful job with this review! All the main points were there, including pics, links, background, and summary. Your play by play was categorized perfectly by paragraph which made it easy to follow. Just make sure to check punctuation. Your opinion was stated clearly and you did a great job of adding in both points of view. Lastly, make sure to add captions to your pictures so those reading it understand who is in the picture.

Good on the review, but you should of said look at the episode, not an, it is a premiere.Everyone have different opinions, but the puppet sketch was funny and kind of awkward near the end, but still good. Great job on showing your opinions of the sketches. You should of included Quagmire, when Seth said Quagmire's catchphrase, but it's just a small note. Overall this is a pretty good review in my opinion.
