Hunger Games Sketch! 4/7/12

Cannot express my love for the fact that they included this. And because all the little details in this sketch were correct. If you are a fan of the books/movie you MUST see this.
HAHAHA Abby Elliot as Katniss gave Sofia's Effy-esque character some berries or if you're a fan you know that it's supposed to be the poisonous berries, NightLock. So great that they included this. Normally they wouldn't include a sketch that is geared towards the younger audience that requires some knowledge of the series to appreciate it. Oh well, I'm not mad.

The Manuel Ortiz Show 4/7/12

Not surprised that they included this with it being a Hispanic sketch and Sofia Vergara being the host.
This was never a favorite of mine except for when Betty White hosted.

I KNEW ONE DIRECTION WOULD SHOW UP SOMETIME! CALLED IT! Fan girls are going to go crazyy.

Weekend Update 4/7/12

Bobby Moynihan as Drunk Uncle: He is so underrated. This character is a drunk man who depressed and reminisces and is bitter about life today. The includes but not limited to racist jokes, jokes about kids today and organic  foods. And then he calls Seth by the wrong name.

It was a relatively short Weekend Update on this episode. I was expecting either a "Stefon" or another political walk-on. But guess not. 

Commercial Parody 4/7/12

Jason Sudekis and Andy Samberg. "Just Friends" Booty Shorts. Because they're totally straight. Also, "Not Gay" tank tops.
Short, sweet, funny play on the extremes of bromances.

Sofia's Monologue 4/7/12

"In Colombia it is every girl's dream to marry Al Bundy." hahah very nice.

Hahah she is now talking about how her accent makes everything sexy like: Gonorrhea, Rick Santorum and New Jersey.

Cold-Open Sketch 4/7/12

Jason Sudekis as robot-esque Mitt Romney. I love how they are playing off of the many gaffe's that Romney has committed throughout this primary; saying he loves random things and trying to come off as a normal citizen and he's just so awkward.


hahahhaha and now they have Jason as Mitt Romney being awkward trying to host the show. very clever.

New Episode This Coming Weekend

'Ello all!
SNL has been on hiatus for the past few weeks but April 7th means a new episode with some fresh faces. This week's host will be Modern Family's Sofia Vergara. 
And the musical guest will be the UK's X-Factor contestants, One Direction. Yes, that is a boy band. Now before you get up in arms about why they are the musical guest, let me explain something to you. Not only are they the UK's hottest rising musicians but they are blowing up in the US as well. They appeared on the Kid's Choice Awards this weekend and needless to say, the girls in the audience went apeshit, as did I. 

Both Sofia and One Direction are new to the live comedy scene that is Saturday Night Live. I am excited to see what the writers will do with this. I will not be surprised if One Direction appears in at least one sketch. When Justin Bieber was the musical guest, he appeared in a skit with the then host, Tina Fey. Honestly, it is one of my favorite sketches I've seen in awhile. Don't you dare knock JBiebs until you've seen this:


Part of the reason why I think that young up and comers make such a big hit on this show is because no one expects it to be as funny as it is. The initial shock of seeing them completely out of their element is part of the comedy. I think this weekend's episode will prove this to be true for both Sofia Vergara and One Direction.
