Let's face it. SNL hasn't been funny in years. Sure, it's shown bright spots with Adam Sandler songs, Celebrity Jeopardy with Sean Connery, Eddie Murphy, and Gilda. For the love God, can we stop the Amy Poehler and Tina Fey love fest? Am I the only person in America that find them painfully unfunny? Fey's only accomplishment to date is her writing the screenplay for Mean Girls. 30 Rock is sinking, SNL sucks, and their weekend update was so pretentious and self indulging, I could hardly watch, much less laugh. Saying something sarcastic and staring into the camera akwardly prompts people to laugh. Congratulations, you harnessed laughter out of sheer audience uncomfortability. Fey's Sarah Palin caricature was effective for two reasons: Sarah Palin's ridiculous accent and her lucky resemblance to the Governor. Aside from that, she wasn't creating comedic magic. I'm so over that stupid show. Anyway, the point of this post was to tell Andy Samberg to leave (S)till(N)ot(L)aughing. He's smart, original and better than they deserve. Lorne Michaels and SNL have jumped the shark. Here's Andy's website. The videos are fantastic. http://www.thelonelyisland.com/
