SNL

Here's a site that I had forgotten about: Saturday Night Live Transcripts.

A few of my favorite sketches:

Grayson-Moorhead

Neil Diamond Storytellers

The Census

On a related note, http://www.fallonfey.com/ has transcripts of a lot of Weekend Updates over the past few years. I really think Weekend Update is the best part of the show, but that's probably mainly because of my gigantic crush on Tina Fey.

Ah, another guy with a crush on Tina Fey. I guess being smart, funny, and beautiful is attractive to men. Who knew?

Anyway, I don't know if Weekend Update is the best part of the show - I'd a good sketch over a good Update - but it's definitely the most consistent. The sketches are often weak (and you know an episode is a stinker when the *first* sketch blows), but Update is always funny, if not gut-bustingly so.

Have you seen "Mean Girls"? Tina Fey AND Lindsay Lohan (back when she was still really attractive, before she somehow became way to skinny). It's a good thing. And Tina Fey wrote it, too, so it's actually much funnier than you'd think.

Tina Fey is pregnant (and working on getting her own sitcom), so conventional wisdom points to her leaving SNL (although there was no mention of it in the finale). If it happens, I think I might just officially have no reason to watch. I can't remember the last time I thought a sketch was actually really funny.

Yes, we rented and quite enjoyed Mean Girls. Lindsay Lohan certainly did used to be much hotter. Also, she looks awful as a blond (so does Laura Prepon).

And yes, I knew about her pregnancy. I spend too much time keeping up with celebrity gossip.

Did you see the picture of Lindsay Lohan going around today (http://www.stereogum.com/archives/001521.html#comments)? Ugh.

Also, Laura Prepon is a blonde now? Well, shit. Having not watched her show in ages I didn't even know. But, yes, as a redhead, amazing. I've never understood why anybody feels the need to go blonde, I tend to find non-blondes much more attractive. But, then, I'm apparently very strange.

On a completly unrelated note, do you guys like Mexican? There's a good cheap Mexican place we're thinking of going to for lunch tomorrow.

Jake said...

Yeah, I agree that brunettes and redheads are better. Now, some blonde girls are very pretty (like this girl I passed on the way to work this monring), but in general, brunettes are better.

As for Mexican - we're big fans. So good, cheap Mexican food sounds perfect* for lunch.
