i've been watching so many snl sketches lately i just keep clicking on them on youtube last week i clicked on one just for the fun if it and it was really good and then i proceeded to watch two more that were also good and it like made me a gambler im trapped in the fallacy. just one more sketch surely this one will be as good as ticket to ride jumanji. anyway i have a spiritual kinship with sarah sherman she "talk[s] like a jewish parrot" and has a mullet and dresses with the palette and in your face style of an arcade carpet from the 1990s or a clown wanting to revamp the industry she's like what i wanted to be when i was in 9th grade

SNL BAD BUNNY LIVE TWEET

Boring Political sketch SAVED by James Austin Johnsons Trump

Am I crazy or does trump have a zipper on his neck in this sketch. Do they have a zip up trump costume? Fire

Bad Bunny really thinks he can pull off the host/ musical guest double act? Alright lets see if he pulls it off.

People just cheered back to back for mcdonalds and sex. God Bless America.

Pedro Pascal cameo. They do a lot of cameos now, huh? It kinda works, monologue is pretty funny at the end here. A lot of it was in spanish so I wasnt paying hardcore attention. He mentioned Puerto Rico a lot LETS GO 🇵🇷🇵🇷🇵🇷.

First Battle Rapper sketch is funny. Mikey Day raps which is torture but its well written.

Pretape sketch is funny, Fred Armisen makes an appearance I imagine because the sketch is entirely in spanish. Featured player Marcello Hernandez gets great screen time and makes the lines funny even though you cant understand him. Would be surprised if he isnt on the main cast next year.

Another sketch with lots of spanish but mostly just to give Bad Bunny something to do. He’s much more comfortable in spanish and the few times he has to talk in english it’s very stilted and awkward. The sketches are pretty host light this week though so it works. This Telenovela sketch works pretty well with some very funny lines and a really good bit character from Bowen Yang. Also who the hell is the guy that cameos in this sketch? I thought it was Mick Jagger at first lol. Is it Fred Armisen in makeup? UPDATE: it is Mick Jagger.

Please Don’t Destroy knock it out of the park again. Sketch is about Bad Bunny showing up to them in an elaborate shrek costume and pretending he doesnt want to do a sketch about shrek. Shrek jokes are kinda tired but its nothing cringe and mostly uses it as a cultural reference. PDD stay winning.

Colin’s Weekend Update piece thinly veiled Pro Israel views. We don’t stan.

Rest of Weekend Update was pretty forgettable. Ego Nwodim as Jada Pinkett doing very predictable jokes. But some of the stories they mention are crazy, did L’oreal’s products seriously make Black women infertile????

Shorter Update this week considering last week had two features. Couple of funny ones 6/10

First sketch after Update was good. Guy introducing his white girlfriend to his hispanic family. Pedro Pascal guest stars helping the sketch (and Bad Bunny) a healthy amount. Chloe Troast features in the sketch, her first real part since she joined the cast. Nothing standout from her here but always fun to keep your eye on the newcomers.

Okay Pre-tape sketch. Pursuit of Happyness riff with a “real” new york subway in he background. That bit was funny but I was paying more attention to the parody in the foreground cuz it had Devon Walker and James Austin Johnson. Good sketch.

Bad Bunny’s performances have been pretty cool with big sets. Very possible that he put a majority of his work into this part of the show. He’s so dreamy lol XD.

This Nun sketch is pretty forgettable, but its cool that everyone’s lines are kinda unique to them. Punkie Johnson has a Punkie line, Heidi Gardner has a Gardner line, Sarah Sherman has a Sherman line, it’s fun. If that rule is consistent for everyone though, then Chloe Troast is in trouble cuz she easily had the worst lines in this. I won’t hold it against her though, give her the benefit of the doubt. Molly Kearney features prominently in the sketch but their character isn’t that funny. I’m rooting for them to be good so lets hope they get better stuff to work with soon.

Final Burt’s Bees sketch was pretty forgettable, but Bowen Yang kinda lights it up at the end.

And that’s goodnights! Show felt shorter this week but probably just cuz last week was jam-packed. More of an average week with a lot of screentime for Marcello Hernandez who is pretty promising. Overall maybe a 6.5/10?
