Well, that sketch with the eagles wasn't exactly a laugh riot. Maybe it will pick up later on.

So far it's just Tom fooling around...and it's not funny at all...did they let Tom have complete control or what?!

I laughed with at Lorne & Tom in the bath tub. I haven't laughed much at his other two skits though.

Umm... that cartoon thing was in horrible taste and the dog show was a disaster. The damn pig was squeeling so loud, you couldn't hear the comics (and I use the term loosely).

I get the impression that Tom Green isn't funny at all, he just gets laughs by acting stupid. I agree Prodigy, this SNL SUCKS

Yeah i wasn't impressed by this show because of him. Lately however the show has been pretty funny IMHO, but his influence made it bad. I'm happy i turned to watch Jackass on MTV in the middle of it.

tom's got the old SNL theory of comedy from a few years back: repeat something over and over and over and over and over again, and it might eventually get funny. but it never does. his 15 minutes are up.

Triumph, Tom has had his TV show for over 4 years. I doubt his time is up.

I guess SNL still has it's moments (some of the more recent Gore/Bush skits gets a chuckle out of me), but it hasn't really been that good for at least 15 years. More often than not, the skits are just stupid; what was tonight's eagle skit and dog show skit about anyhow? Not only were they not funny, they were almost painful to watch.

SNL skits have always tended towards the eclectic and artsy, if not the highbrow side of things. While the original cast could pull that off, subsequent casts have had mixed results trying to replicate it. I think the main reason SNL has it's ups and downs is because they cycle the cast every few years. Sometimes they get talented people, and sometimes not. IMO, the last good SNL cast was from the Phil Hartman, Dana Carvey, Chris Farley era.

BTW: I thought the animated short film, Sex and the Country, was hysterical! But as Uncle Larry says, "It's a sick world, and I'm a happy guy."

Holy crap guys, I haven't laughed so hard since sometime last season! Dog Show was messed up for sure, but all the other sketches were hella funny. That includes the cartoon as well. IMO. :)
