I also feel like the "SNL was funnier in my day" comes from how TV used to be watched. When I was a teenager I would stay up late and watch with my sisters. On more then one occasion we wouldn't laugh during the episode but then talk about the skit so much that it became funnier in hindsight because it became an inside joke with my sisters. Also there was less content out in the world so it was more likely my friends where watching SNL. If I missed that weeks episodes, I couldn't always find them on KZbin, I would just be out of the joke that week. My point is SNL was funnier when my friends and family watched SNL because sharing a joke with someone is funnier than laughing and a screen alone in your bedroom.

[@jacen8425]

Not even close. It has to do with talent and writing. SNL has always had ups and downs. Its first few years were great. In the 80s, the show sucked for awhile after numerous big names moved on. It had a resurgence in the 90s, went downhill in the early 2000s, got better in the mid 2000s, and ever since 2013 or so has went from mediocre to borderline unwatchable. The new cast sucks and the writing is so cringey and politically charged....and very partisan. SNLs comedy used to appeal to everyone. Now, it only apoeals to a select people.

What’s so funny about seeing Alec Baldwin doing an impression of Alec Baldwin doing Donald Trump ? I’m old enough to remember when SNL used to cast literal sketch comedians in their sketches ! Seriously though , how many times must we be subjected to a sketch where they just tell the same joke OVER AND OVER again and call that a full sketch ? The same joke is repeated until the sketch ends ... Another tactic of the god- awful writers is to pack each sketch with the most amount of jokes possible , which oftentimes , does not allow for the satisfaction of waiting for that one perfectly timed joke or punchline . And the present cast members suffer from some of the worst comedic timing during their sketches . And don’t get me started on the incessant awkward pauses and clear signs the celebrity guest stars are reading cue cards. And these SNL writers try SO HARD to force sketches about current events ...ugh 🤢 These writers need reminding that the best and most iconic SNL sketches of all time , were ones which were just funny , without any relation to what’s going on in the world . People will remember the great sketches with good writing and good acting far longer than a bad sketch that was relevant at the time and had a celebrity in it , for the sake of having a celebrity in it.

bill hader wasn't mentioned a lot in this video, and I just wanna point out something I've noticed about his comedic style that sets him apart. and I think this is why a lot of people consider him to be one of the best cast members of the last fifteen or so years. his impressions are transformative. most SNL impressions of movie characters, celebrities, etc, are just filler lines up until they Say The Funny Catchphrase. and most of these sketches fall flat (a lot of celebrity jeopardy sketches do this). but when Bill does his take on an existing character, he adapts the character to something like a new setting or time period, and transforms what could be a throwaway skit into something memorable. and sure, he's very repetitive. but he doesn't do the EXACT same thing in every sketch like some SNL actors do. with the exception of specific characters he plays, such as Stefan, he doesn't really have a single trait that he's remembered for. sometimes he's really loud and facially expressive, aggressive, homoerotic, even homosexual, but sometimes he doesn't say a single word, and he's probably funny regardless of what he's doing. he's adaptable. he isn't just a loud funny man, he adapts to what the skit/character needs him to do. and that's still apparent today, as he has found success in the show Barry, among other projects.

Just a quick note on Charles Rocket and why NBC tried to make him the next big star of SNL. Rocket worked as a serious news anchor for a few NBC stations across the country, and had produced a series of comedic short films where he played a reporter who asked random people on the street weird questions (similar to Billy Eichner’s bit 40 years later). These shorts were popular in the underground comedy scene of the late 1970s, and his experience as an anchor made hiring him to do Weekend Update seem like a perfect fit. After he got the gig, it went to his head. He felt that he had made it just be being on SNL, and didn’t need to try as hard. Hell, most of the people hired for season 5 thought the same thing as Rocket. He immediately began feuding with Eddie Murphy and Joe Piscopo because they dared to actually try and put effort into their sketches. Rocket was fired after dropping the f-bomb on live television, along with everyone else except Murphy and Piscopo.

[@Jessica_Roth]

Not true; the rest of the Season 6 cast (Gilbert Gottfried, Denny Dillon, Gail Matthius and Anne Risley) were kept on for the post-Rocket reboot to finish the season. It wasn't until next season that they did the major cast change. It should also be noted that as bad as the year was, there was still enough residual talent that they could be decent at times. The Karen Black episode (6x7) was actually quite good. And the Ellen Burstyn episode (6x3) while only middling, closed with a classic sketch in the bittersweet style of Marilyn Suzanne Miller (so much so that I thought it WAS writtten by MSM, but she had left after Season 4). Still, most of that season was like torture. Painfully bad. (Honestly, if JOE PISCOPO is a highlight, you know you're in trouble.)

Great saying Here's a great example: When i was a kid i used to eat a LOT of spam when i was a kid. Like i remember how happy i felt whenever my gran was cooking spam it was all that i ate. Im an adult now (19) and i felt really nostalgic seeing some spam after seeing some at walmart so naturally I bought the spam, went home with the spam, and then cooked the spam. I almost damn near threw up putting that stuff in my mouth holy crap it was so salty. It tasted exactly how i remember it yet it tastes SO awful now. like i don't even know how i was able to stomach that mess i just threw it away. Never bought spam again that day Nostalgia is a really powerful thing

I think with Adam Sandler, it's not that he's funnier back then. It's just that his schtick was still new back then, so he's still considered as funny. But then everyone outgrew his style and his style just hasn't changed. Like hell, he still do that 'funny voice' that he always does ever since his SNL days.

[@rdp16rulez]

Kinda. The KZbin channel Wisecrack did a deep dive of Adam Sandler's career that really shows where he shines and where he falters. Uncut Gems is his best modern movie, The Wedding Singer is his best retro movie, Jack and Jill is arguably his worst film, and everything else falls somewhere in between. Honestly when it comes to the Sandman, I kind of just want to see him do something no one would expect. Kind of like Robin Williams' later career. Sometimes he would make an Old Dogs. Sometimes he would make World's Greatest Dad. Or One Hour Photo. I often wonder when I see the trailer for another Adam Sandler Netflix movie what would have happened if he played The Bear Jew in Inglorious Bastards.

Adam's songs were really funny and his best contributions to SNL. So much so that when Jimmy Fallon came on and started doing songs during update we got really excited about it even though his weren't nearly as good lol.

Hi all!! Old person here. Did you all know that Adam Sandler had a comedy album (like a CD) back in the day? He sure did. I was maybe 14. It was called What the Hell Happened to Me? I remember loving that thing. I wonder if it's any good now. This video has inspired me to go find out. I remember it had songs & a skit making fun of the movie Carrie (original 70s? version) where he just kept saying "they're all gonna laugh at you" over & over. This is going to be fun. Thanks Drew and original poster for reminding me of this. I am old and increasingly forgetful. I also write really long comments.

[@rdp16rulez]

@@stacin821 Hi Stacy. I did know about that comedy album. Back when it was first released my mom would subscribe to a CD delivery service, take advantage of the buy 6 get 1 sales that they had, and cancel the account after so they might send another deal our way later. One of the CDs she purchased was Adam's comedy album. I liked his movies so she thought that I might like it. Unfortunately for me, she listened to it before I could and told me, "You're too young to listen to this. He cusses way too much."

I agree completely! Nostalgia plays a HUGE role in how we remember past seasons. But this current cast of members is truly amazing. Im sad that some of them are almost definitely leaving. But I feel like the newer ones are also great and can guide the show. Its just that the sheer quantity of sketches they write per season is daunting. Not to mention that a lot of hosts just aren't comedic actors, so they can't help but suck the life out of some sketches.

[@phosphenevision]

It's honestly insane to make a whole show in a week, from writing to making sets, costume, practicing, etc, it's a miracle it works as often as it does already. A lot of cast membera have had panic attacks on the show because of how intense it is to make it.

[@JoeG2324]

when people talk about music today sucking, its referring to pop music and most of the arguments are in fact correct. Go check out Rick Beato's channel where he has a bunch of videos talking about this more intelligently than I can. Bottom line, pop music today sucks compared the 60s because the music follows a boring, repetitive pattern with the same chord progressions. It just feels emotionally empty and stiff. Pop music today uses drum machines, the beats highly quantized and all the voices are auto tuned to perfection which all takes away the human element causing it to lack feel and emotion. There is no comparison between a hit song today and the beatles, for example. Now, SNL has changed over the decades most people hate it because its not as edgy and its too politically correct. You could never have a sketch like Eddie Murphys Mister Robinson's Neighborhood from the mid 80s because white progressive liberals would lose their minds and call it racist. But hey, if you enjoy bland, politically correct humor thats not out to offend anyone, then todays SNL is the show for you. More power to you if you enjoy that. I simply don't enjoy it. I think I found 1 or 2 sketches over the last 5 years that were somewhat funny on SNL

[@lisaporter-smith676]

@@JoeG2324 The thing is SNL isn’t politically correct. It just doesn’t align with your personal political beliefs. The fact you said. “White progressive liberals” makes that abundantly clear. Not making the same race related jokes they did in the 80s isn’t political correctness, it’s common sense. Why make the same jokes for over 40 years? Do you really think the show shouldn’t have changed since the 80s? Now white men are the target of a lot of jokes suddenly that’s “political correctness” but when any minorities were a target that was just a joke? The “progressive liberals” shout racism at the jokes from the 80s but the “conservative right” shout political correctness at jokes made at the expense of white people. Just admit you don’t like you or your personal political beliefs being the target of the joke and preferred it when someone else was the target, instead of claiming it’s all just political correctness. Culturally in the 80s black people were a target and SNL reflected that because that’s what they do. Culturally in the 20s white people, especially rich white men, are a target and SNL now reflects that because that’s what they do. Their comedy has always been about current events and what’s happening culturally at the time. You don’t like what’s happening culturally right now so you don’t like SNL right now. For a show that you called “ bland and not out the offend anyone” you actually should pretty offended by it.

[@theradionicrevival8068]

Yeah, that’s generally how people judge a lot of things. We can’t really help it, I just wish people were honest about it. It’s a mix between genuine nostalgia and just how our brains are wired to compartmentalize things. We only remember the really good or really bad mostly; if we made room for everything that makes us mildy annoyed, empty, angry, bored or uncomfortable, our brains would just be filled with meaningless nonsense half the time. When someone says old cartoons are better for example, they usually don’t know that they don’t mean that. When they say it, they’re thinking of literally the best of the best diamond in the roughs. Not the 2 to 15 other shows they had to sift through and wait to end in order for Batman TAS to begin or some shit. Who the hell out here is actually quoting megababies or Godzilla and godzooky?? Same thing applies to people who say modern music is trash, the 90’s/80’s were better etc. Ask anyone who was over the age of 50 back then and they have little to report to ya, the reason it’s in such high regard has little to Do with era and more to do with the fact that you were just young and naive and the world was still new. Not tryna bum people out but part of the reason sometimes the older things hit and the newer ones don’t has little to do with those things and just do with the fact that you’re just older now, and got more shit to do and worry about. It’s easy to look back fondly at something once it sets in that it’s never coming back. That’s just a product of livin’ in the present.; what’s sticking around and what won’t literally only ever becomes clear well after it’s already happened. Being disillusioned by that sometimes is inevitable Even stuff like the simpsons, spongebob got a ton of hate back in the day by older adults, but we’re loved a lot by younger people. In 20 years, I guarantee you mfs gon be gassin’ up this era of SNL too the same way. “Today’s bullshit; tomorrow’s nostalgia”.

Wow, are you the person that I found long ago who heard weird siren like electronic sounds inside a mine and some moving chains and ran out of there? Was that you or some other mine explorer person? Did you have an experience like that recorded in one of your videos? If it is you, that is pretty weird to find you here after so long!

People need to realize that SNL is a creative incubator. It's about giving this cast the opportunity to have a TON of shots at bat and grow their comedic taste, timing, and temperament so that they can learn to sift through the shitty stuff and find the gold. And we as the audience might not benefit from each episode individually, but we benefit from the collective. This was such an awesome video, Drew - thanks for showing us that great comedy is a practice - not a product.

I kinda like how you can see the set year change, like in the 90s it's pure nostalgia, and in the 2013- onward it's modern, I find it cool that we can see the change through styles and trends.
