I have a soft spot for Jenny because she and I belong to the same social club. I've wanted to ask her about her banning, but our first two rules state that you do not ask questions.

You drive to the heart of the matter. If this sketch appears on Mr. Show or Human Giant or even the Ben Stiller Show, we barely notice it. It's a good solid sketch, but not fabulous. But given how truly stunningly formulaic SNL has become, it leaps out at us simply because it's different and unexpected, like the show used to be.
I don't think there is anything "truly stunning" about SNL being lackluster since it has probably been that way since Phil Hartman left. If this board was around in 1998 we would be complaining about Mary Katherine Gallagher sketches with the same veracity as Gilly.

Why was Mel Gibson going through puberty in The View sketch?
Hey now, 30 Rock is the Tits, but FRINGE is F'ing Brilliant. McDreamy can get punched in the parking lot, repeatedly....like over and over and over again would be nice
Oh and I don't know who you all are hanging out with but Burn Notice is this ShiZnit!! We (Kentucky) blew up our DVR with that show!

I watched this pretty sober last night, and I think it was a VERY solid episode. I enjoyed the breaking, for the most part it seemed to happen because they actually were laughing with the absurdity and not at it or for some other reason. Does that make sense?
At least top 3 episodes of the season for me.
Is nobody gonna give credit to the awesome dog on the surfboard? I will.
Anyone here not impressed with the Wedding-Punk Band sketch ?
Also, anyone here tired of SNL being compared negatively to sketch shows that didn't operate live, were shorter in airtime, and had a fairly short episode run?

On second viewing, this show gets a C+ from me. But that includes the sharp A- the wedding band sketch gets. If Ass-Ton Kutcher had been playing his instrument, it'd have been a sure fire A+. That sketch is what I love about sketch comedy. Smarter premise than you initially think, committed, TRULY hilarious performance, and a whole lot of bizarre.
No, because MKG was a nervous high school kid who had crushes on boys, dreams of big things, a fierce appetite for the monologues in Lifetime movies and the C-List actresses who delivered those lines, who was ignored by the other kids at school and who had severe hyperactivity and nervousness issues. ie was a fully developed character. Like Matt Foley, she was not just a spaz who fell into stuff real funny.
Gilly is just a funny voice and random acts of violence. There's nothing more behind it. She's empty.
I feel like I shouldnt go down this path, but...
...the Gilly sketches seem self aware at how silly they are, and regardless of what you think Wiig is doing in them, Will Forte and Bobby Moynihan are very funny in them. And although its definitely in caricatures territory instead of characters, that's the reality of those sketches and (to me) it works. I don't understand the hatred for it.
The pattern of Gilly sketches is way less grating than the Mary Katherine sketches that I remember. I can't recall those sketches USING anyone else to really do anything. Do you remember any other actors that did something besides look slightly angry and say with a slight irish accent "Mary Katherine, what are you doing with your hands there?" I can't.
Also, Jay Leno should get fuckt. Who's with me?!
