This one is on the PG-13 side:

Classic Commercial Sunday - #81

Original Kings Of Catchphrase Comedy

Saturday Night Live this past weekend was on fire! Here's one of the stand out sketches:

SNL Recap 1/15/11 - Gwyneth Paltrow

I though SNL was really on fire this week. There were alot of great celebrity impressions and just about every skit was right on the money. Host Gwyneth Paltrow has a good comic sensibility and even the musical guest Cee-Lo (who ever that is) got in on more than one sketch. Seth Meyers even cut loose with a little bit of stand-up during Update. But I think easily, the highlight of the show was the Digital Short which featured an impressive guest cast.

(This is safe-for-work, but probably not for children. It's not vulgar, but it does have a few PG-13 words in it.)


There's already some buzz of Pee-Wee hosting later this season!

SNL Recap 1/08/11 - Jim Carey

It was great to see Jim Carey get back to what he does best - just being silly - on this weekend's Saturday Night Live. He didn't roll out any familiar characters from In Living Color, I was hoping for an Ace Ventura nod...but no such luck. Twitter was abuzz with the hopes of a revisit to the Ride The Snake skit he did years ago when he hosted, but no. It was all new wackiness for Mr. Carey. This skit was one of my favorites, showing off Jim Carey's uncanny celebrity impersonations:



I also liked this skit which kind of poked fun at "It's a Small World." Everybody thinks they've been on Small World when it broke down, but the truth is the boats get backed up pretty regularly so it is often that you sit still on that ride for far too long. (At least that's true with the Walt Disney World version.)

I'm also a sucker for a good audio animatronic impression!

Black Friday at Mega Mart

Outstanding SNL skit lampooning every commercial that will air this week...

(after a real commercial)

Denzel Prepares For a Role

Favorite skit from this weekend's SNL: new cast member Jay Pharoah with a dead-on Denzel Washington impression...

Betty White + SNL = Awesome!

SNL Recap 4/10/10 - Tina Fey

On any given Sunday that follows a night where a new Saturday Night Live debuted, you can be guaranteed that the internet will be filled with recaps and reviews of the the previous night's episode. Last night former SNL head writer Tina Fey hosted, along with something called a Justin Bieber as the musical guest. The show was fantastic and filled with great SNL moments, some will be future classics. Instead of adding my own review to the heap that's been posted in the last few hours, I'll post a link to (of all places) The Wall Street Journal for a recap that features videos of a few of the great skits.

I also really liked Keenan Thompson's Al Roker impression:

MacGruber Pepsi Ad #1

Exit, Stage Left Even!

He doesn't get a whole lot of mention here at WWoB, but seriously, one of my all-time favorite cartoon characters; and probably in my top 3 of Hanna-Barbera characters is Snagglepuss. The pink mountain lion debuted in 1960 as backup player to the popular Yogi Bear on The Yogi Bear Show. As with the majority of the H-B gang, Snagglepuss has been laying kinda low lately. However, the folks at Saturday Night Live haven't forgeten him as Snagglepuss was featured on Weekend Update a few weeks ago. Of course, I always love when they do a classic cartoon character send-up on SNL, especially if it's not vular. Although this bit does question Snagglepuss' sexuality, it's all done in good fun. And as an added bonus, there's a great Flintstones reference at the end of this bit.

Oh by the way, this video is courtesy of NBC.com so I'm sure it will be bookended with commercials. On that note....Enjoy it EVEN!
