[@Wigfield84]

[@TineTineBean]

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.

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.)

[@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”.

Someone just needs to make a season of SNL with all of the best sketches of the show’s entirety stitched together chronologically into episodes.

[@RavenclawNimbus]

That last bit in your comment just sums up 90% of people talking about how bad modern SNL is. Like, have they even seen "Traffic Altercation" in Quinta Brunson's episode? Or "Lisa from Temecula" or pretty much any sketch with Pedro Pascal

Makes sense that SNL is Drew's favorite show, his delivery is somewhere between Seth Myers and John Mulaney.

It's wierd that his favorite show is something that hasn't been good since he's been in diapers.

RDJ is now the only SNL cast member with an Oscar as of 2024

“ Old thing good, new thing bad” is a thing that bothers me so much. How people blindly hate on new music, movies, shows, etc.

it’s the biggest boomer move a man can make

But how else will I let everyone know about my insecurity and on-going mid-life crisis?

What I hate most is how it can allow people to dodge valid criticism when a new installment of an existing property DOES suck.

[@myawightman5246]

I don't hate new music, there's just a lot of new popular genres of music that simply aren't for me. That being said, there's still plenty of new music I like. As for movies and TV shows, I like both old and new.

[@yungflipdadon]

I’m the same way. There’s a lot of things old and new I like. My favorite time for music (hip hop and pop) is the 2010s. I feel like music recently is too trendy trying to get onto Tik Tok like Danny said. But I find the 2000s dreadful. But it’s just my opinion. I feel how Drew said where nostalgia makes people think differently on things. I get into arguments at work with the older people about current things that are “Hip to the young kids”. I’m not even that young, I’m 23. It just bothers me people don’t give new things a chance. That being said, there’s a lot of new things I also think suck more then the old, like Star Wars, Teen Titans, every Disney remake, and more.

i feel like watching snl is like watching a junior soccer team. they’re not all winners, but it’s fun to see who shines each episodes. you put it perfectly !

[@aaronlandry3934]

IDK. The last decade’s been pretty barren of talent. I’m thinking TV’s just dead
