Gawkers chime in on Andy Samberg and the Paul Rudd SNL episode



Virgilicious:
The show was pretty funny, but I kept feeling like it wasn't quite making the best use of Rudd (except for the digital short, where his deadpan weirdness was great).

B-Side:
Gotta say, I didn't love the digital short this week. I think they've been actually fairly weak this season. Time for Andy Samberg to change it up.

City_Dater:
Paul Rudd is a very very funny man so I actually watched this crapfest for the first time in ages just to see what use they would make of him--and they didn't. It was a sausagefest of pathetic white male sexual anxiety, and some of lamest borderline offensive gay jokes I've seen on television in years. Let it die, NBC, let it die...

HarlanDampie:
The show was nearly-unwatchable this week (and I like Paul Rudd) --- EVERY sketch was either about being secretly gay or the fear of being gay.

Kazzah:
Since when did NBC restrict its clips to USA-only?! I want to see Andy naked, dammit!

Flossy:
Which one of you tech people knows how to unpixelate things?

Dudezebel:
With the exception of a sketch or two featuring Kristen Wiig acting twitchy, this episode of SNL followed the pretty standard formula:
1 - political sketch that isn't totally funny unless Tina Fey is in it.
1 - Commercial parody
Every other sketch built on the premise that the interchangeable male actors are ambiguously gay or overly affectionate or both.

GirlyWhirl:
Even my mad crush on Paul Rudd can't make me watch Saturday Night Clips and Andy Samberg. It's just too much pain for the pleasure.

Youngmarblegiant:
If I have to see Andy Sandberg's face one more time, I swear I will never read Gawker again! I hate being made a SUCKER. Do you hear me?! Do you HEAR ME?!!1!

NoodlePress:
I kept waiting for the episode to get funny and it never happened. I think the only funny part was Justin Timberlake giving the run-down of the episode he would have been on next week.

IndianSlipper:
The timberlake "Single Girl" dance with Beonce was hilarious, his "update" was pretty good too.

Olly-wang:
Timberlake in the leotard in the dance skit and all the regulars. A very, very funny show! Some new very classic skits!

GoldenShowersFillYourEyes:
I thought the digital short was genius, almost python-esque.

Get the buttah:
That picture of him with his blurry hot spot is making me queaze.

Tardy:
Aw, they're wearing T-shirts from my alma mater. Not sure if that's a good or bad thing...

Demetria23:
I think 90% of the sketches had some gay joke in there. Was that an intentional Prop 8 thing or just lazy writing? I suspect the latter.
