Not as funny as the spoof they did on Josh Earnest!
Colonel Haiku (2601c0) — 2/5/2017 @ 3:49 pmI remember the spoof SNL did on Joe Biden when he was talking about people with Indian accents at 7-Eleven!
Cruz Supporter (102c9a) — 2/5/2017 @ 3:58 pmBut I don’t understand why it’s not on YouTube! (LOL)
She is very funny. I hope Sean shows up at the Daily Briefing tomorrow with a super soaker as a joke.
The sketch was good but would have been better and much funnier, though, if the media roles had also been portrayed with slapstick humor– not like normal reporters/questioners as they were– but with red clown noses, or wearing tin foil hats or deely boppers or pussy hats on their heads. SNL really missed the mark there when they could have absolutely hit it out of the park and delighted viewers of all stripes.
elissa (da292b) — 2/5/2017 @ 4:00 pmThat Josh Earnest one was pretty good. But the one destroying Jay Carney for lying about IRS targeting, Obamacare, Benghazi and all the other stuff Obama learned by reading about them in the papers — classic!!! Hope they come down on Trump even harder, if that’s possible.
Pro Lifer (8a733a) — 2/5/2017 @ 5:12 pmIt’s hilarious. a SNL classic. Thanks, Patterico, for posting this — can’t stop laughing at it.
Melissa McCarthy has Spicer down pat.
Speaking of pats… Go Atlanta!
If Madonna had any talent, she’d be Lady Gaga.
DCSCA (797bc0) — 2/5/2017 @ 5:25 pmAs if the press had reason to brag

narciso (d1f714) — 2/5/2017 @ 5:44 pmThree minutes of it were enough. She’s no Chevy Chase or Dana Garvey and the material and supporting cast are at about the same level of New York quality that Trump is.
nk (dbc370) — 2/5/2017 @ 6:09 pmSNL is sort of like the widower who saved a piece of his late wife’s clothing to remember her by, only in their case they are throne-sniffing the former
Colonel Haiku (2601c0) — 2/5/2017 @ 6:13 pmkingprez … and will be for years.Didn’t see ghostbusters just like I didn’t pay to see into darkness, that should have been a hanging offense but I liked her in spy, specially playing off rose byrne
narciso (d1f714) — 2/5/2017 @ 6:20 pmThey’ve become what they used to rail against. Their people have no stage presence, their writers are .133 hitters (and that is generous) and their boss is a part of The Establishment.
Colonel Haiku (2601c0) — 2/5/2017 @ 6:21 pmThe cast is on the level of Chicago’s Second City, which is to say, shi+.
Colonel Haiku (2601c0) — 2/5/2017 @ 6:23 pmWatch out boys, The Atlanta Falcons just won the popular vote.
Pinandpuller (16b0b5) — 2/5/2017 @ 7:10 pmheh @#12
papertiger (c8116c) — 2/5/2017 @ 7:12 pmWe’re heading for a recount in Superbowl 51
papertiger (c8116c) — 2/5/2017 @ 7:14 pmThe recount goes to Brady!
papertiger (c8116c) — 2/5/2017 @ 7:28 pmWelp, time to shelter in place. Tomorrow’s forecast calls for riots…
Pinandpuller (16b0b5) — 2/5/2017 @ 7:33 pmTop ten excuses for the Falcons.
#10 they deflated Brady’s balls at halftime.
papertiger (c8116c) — 2/5/2017 @ 7:35 pmIt’s nice to know that America has progressed far enough that we have white receivers.
Pinandpuller (16b0b5) — 2/5/2017 @ 7:36 pm@17 papertiger
Congress is going to get to the bottom of that right after Russia intercepting the Atlanta Falcons’ signals.
Pinandpuller (16b0b5) — 2/5/2017 @ 7:40 pmTom Brady is not MY quarterback!
Pinandpuller (16b0b5) — 2/5/2017 @ 7:46 pmlol
This is too much fun. Probably a law against it in California.
papertiger (c8116c) — 2/5/2017 @ 7:49 pmTommy Touchdown made the Super Bowl great again!
Cruz Supporter (102c9a) — 2/5/2017 @ 7:49 pmJust like President Mr Donald, the Patriots made a comeback for the ages!
Cruz Supporter (102c9a) — 2/5/2017 @ 7:52 pmThe Pats have a different constitution; they have a different brain; they have a different heart; they have tiger blood, man.
charlie sheen (c8116c) — 2/5/2017 @ 8:04 pmThey’re just a bunch of semi-illiterates in tight spandex who crouch down and stare longingly at each others’ behinds, then grab each other and roll on the ground. I don’t blame them — it’s probably the only way they have to make a living. However, the people who enjoy watching them do it have no excuse.
nk (dbc370) — 2/5/2017 @ 8:22 pmUm, Charlie Sheen? The Charlie Sheen?
Tillman (a95660) — 2/5/2017 @ 8:25 pm@ nk, #25:
I believe everyone here was talking about football, not professional wrestling.
Demosthenes (09f714) — 2/5/2017 @ 8:27 pmI bet President Mr Donald can’t wait to host the Super Bowl champion Patriots at the White House.
Cruz Supporter (102c9a) — 2/5/2017 @ 8:28 pmThe NeverTrumpers (including the ones with media credentials!) will melt down on that day.
Nk Michael Strahan is fully literate.
For the rest of them we have spellcheck.
papertiger (c8116c) — 2/5/2017 @ 8:30 pmYeah, I probably won’t watch that ceremony. A business cheater hosting a bunch of sports cheaters is not my idea of a fun watch. Maybe I can use that time to catch up on “Longmire”…
Demosthenes (09f714) — 2/5/2017 @ 8:30 pm@25 nk
They learned it from watching you (the Greeks)!
Pinandpuller (16b0b5) — 2/5/2017 @ 8:32 pmThe kicker who shanked that extra point has to go home and explain to his wife how he promised God he is going to name their next three kids “Tom Brady”.
Pinandpuller (16b0b5) — 2/5/2017 @ 8:33 pmI meant football. That’s what I meant by that’s the only way they have to make a living. They’re not smart enough to read and follow the scripts of professional wrestling matches.
nk (dbc370) — 2/5/2017 @ 8:34 pmLady Gaga was so hawt tonight
#I’mwithher
Pinandpuller (16b0b5) — 2/5/2017 @ 8:35 pmProfessional wrestling comes from the Greeks.
Football comes from rugby which comes from British explorers seeing two bands of gorillas fighting over a coconut.
nk (dbc370) — 2/5/2017 @ 8:35 pm@ nk, #33:
No, I knew what you meant. But since it was obviously a stupid thing to say, I thought I would try to give you an out. Sorry you didn’t take it.
Demosthenes (09f714) — 2/5/2017 @ 8:36 pmAs for Lady Gaga, here’s someone better and a song that every Trumkin should know. Sorry about “that one graphic” — it’s the only video I found with subtitles and translated lyrics.
nk (dbc370) — 2/5/2017 @ 8:45 pmThe yanks burned Atlanta again!
Cruz Supporter (102c9a) — 2/5/2017 @ 9:00 pmEveryone should be stoked that TX doesn’t have a state income tax. Even the guy who went offsides during the conversion.
Also, how are they still allowed to call it a “conversion”? That’s such a divisive term.
Pinandpuller (16b0b5) — 2/5/2017 @ 9:02 pmThanks to the Greeks we know what to call homoeroticism. Before that it was just a bunch of foot tapping and hand signals.
Pinandpuller (16b0b5) — 2/5/2017 @ 9:04 pmI bet President Mr Donald can’t wait to host the Super Bowl champion Patriots at the White House.
The NeverTrumpers (including the ones with media credentials!) will melt down on that day.
Cruz Supporter (102c9a) — 2/5/2017 @ 8:28 pm
He probably can’t.

For once, I think Trump is totally correct. 😁
Kishnevi (8adcb8) — 2/5/2017 @ 9:06 pmWhat would it sound like if Marlene Dietrich was singing while being attacked by Syrian refugees at sundown?
Pinandpuller (16b0b5) — 2/5/2017 @ 9:06 pmnk at 33.

So, not all of them fit your low opinion of their intelligence.
JoeH (f94276) — 2/5/2017 @ 9:06 pmWow Kishnevi, how about a NSFW warning lol? Guy with the biggest penis in the world is on disability.
Pinandpuller (16b0b5) — 2/5/2017 @ 9:10 pmSomehow Trump shaking hands with Bob Kraft and Tom Brady will break the emoluments clause in 3…2…1….
Pinandpuller (16b0b5) — 2/5/2017 @ 9:12 pmHere’s the real deal. Lady Gaga’s FULL Pepsi Zero Sugar Super Bowl LI Halftime Show | NFL
papertiger (c8116c) — 2/5/2017 @ 9:16 pm[YouTube – of course]
nk has Californian blood. Probably Jerry Brown’s nephew.
papertiger (c8116c) — 2/5/2017 @ 9:19 pmI dare you to try to explain to me how the NFL does not well realize how badly their image was damaged by Kapernick. That was as patriotic a theme throughout the day and game as I can remember. Lady GaGa opens with God Bless America????? Not one word critical of DJT to be heard the entire day.
I hate the NFL, but I give them props for at least recognizing the depth of the hole they allowed to be dug. The Dhimmis could take a note.
Ed from SFV (3400a5) — 2/5/2017 @ 9:22 pmThat was a perfect game , except for that little bit at the beginning where I bet on Atlanta.
lol
papertiger (c8116c) — 2/5/2017 @ 9:24 pmJoeH at 43.
I have an uncle who is a full Professor of Mathematics who worked his way through college playing semi-pro. Think of my comment in the same way as Melissa McCarthy playing Sean Spicer in that skit.
nk (dbc370) — 2/5/2017 @ 9:34 pmI was surprised that Lady Gaga didn’t do anything subversive, as was foreshadowed.
I should mention that she added the Woody Guthrie This Land is Your Land lyrics to the end of God Bless America, which I’m sure on its face seems totally appropriate and harmless.
Howevah, it’s a little interesting since Guthrie insisted he wrote the song as a left wing populist response to the alleged capitalist elitism he believed was inherent in Irving Berlin’s God Bless America.
In fact, the original lyrics to This Land is Your Land had this verse;
There was a big high wall there that tried to stop me.
Cruz Supporter (102c9a) — 2/5/2017 @ 9:41 pmThe sign was painted, said ‘Private Property.’
But on the backside, it didn’t say nothing.
This land was made for you and me.
nk, in that case, in the words of another SNL alumna, never mind!
JoeH (f94276) — 2/5/2017 @ 9:43 pmI have just un-banned mg, who sent an email to me apologizing to me and to Ed from SFV.
Hopefully we’ll see him back here soon.
Patterico (115b1f) — 2/5/2017 @ 9:57 pmThank you Pat. This day would not be complete without mg, our Patriot fan lifer.
papertiger (c8116c) — 2/5/2017 @ 10:01 pmFree mg!
Cruz Supporter (102c9a) — 2/5/2017 @ 10:10 pmHe’s free.
Patterico (115b1f) — 2/5/2017 @ 10:16 pmWe need a welcome back video.
Kotter Theme,
papertiger (c8116c) — 2/5/2017 @ 10:24 pmand a little bit of Cheers theme!
papertiger (c8116c) — 2/5/2017 @ 10:28 pmMelissa McCarthy won USA Today’s prize for best Super-Bowl commercial too…and for an ad poking fun at eco-warriors, no less.
Quite a weekend…
Dave (711345) — 2/6/2017 @ 3:54 amyay America Mr. mg is back this is great
happyfeet (466431) — 2/6/2017 @ 4:27 amNever doubt TB12. And In Bill we trust.
mg (31009b) — 2/6/2017 @ 4:57 amshove it deep, roger.
Thanks, Patterico for allowing me to post again. You are a man of your word. Never did I doubt it. It was my insanity that created the past b.s.
mg (31009b) — 2/6/2017 @ 5:00 amIsn’t New England Patriots an oxymoron? It’s not New England no more, you Tories, it’s the United States of America!
Hiya, mg.
nk (dbc370) — 2/6/2017 @ 5:52 amData Science,Climate and satellites Consultant John J Bates, who blew the whistle to the Mail on Sunday – NOAA report was flawed and based on unverified information.

Davod (f3a711) — 2/6/2017 @ 6:11 amJustvlike the redskins were originally the Boston braves, lol
narciso (d1f714) — 2/6/2017 @ 6:15 am65.
Kishnevi (dfdff5) — 2/6/2017 @ 6:57 amBriefly. They borrowed the name from the team that now calls Atlanta home.
This is why I think most people should just stay off twitter. Some of it is funny. True. But this compendium of tweets is also representative of the kind of politicizing of absolutely everything that is chipping away at America from the inside.

elissa (96cede) — 2/6/2017 @ 7:41 ammg, we’ve been keeping your seat warm.
Cruz Supporter (102c9a) — 2/6/2017 @ 7:42 amOk, elissa, now that is funny.
But, but, but … isn’t football the zenith of toxic masculinity? Or was that last year?
nk (dbc370) — 2/6/2017 @ 7:52 amCongrats mg. Is fauxcahontas a Pats fan? I hope somebody asks her, and if you see it published please post her response.
elissa (96cede) — 2/6/2017 @ 7:53 amThe only thing amusing about it is her makeup. Funny? Not much…
Bruce (75700e) — 2/6/2017 @ 7:56 amGee, I never knew I was a white supremacist.
And did you hear: Tom Brady’s wife is an immigrant from Latin America!!!! Shocka!
To be fair, a number of those tweets were having fun with the election comparisons, including Michael Moore and Donald Jr. I wouldn’t call them politicizing the game: or at least a different category entirely from those who are angry that “Trump’s team” won.
Kishnevi (dfdff5) — 2/6/2017 @ 7:57 amSome find the dullest, most mundane crap to be funny. Sad state of affairs.
Colonel Haiku (13f927) — 2/6/2017 @ 8:00 amBow did anybody else watch 24?
narciso (d1f714) — 2/6/2017 @ 8:09 am== isn’t football the zenith of toxic masculinity? Or was that last year?==
cognitive dissonance can be a problem for some
elissa (96cede) — 2/6/2017 @ 8:15 amThe left wingers are always questioning our Patriotism. (LOL)
Cruz Supporter (102c9a) — 2/6/2017 @ 8:18 amOne of the biggest winners from last night’s game was Kellyanne Conway with her outfit from inauguration day.

I have been told about ‘hilarious’ SNL sketches my entire adult life. in my experience 99.99% of them are about as funny as Gilligan’s Island, and less creative. SNL comedians, on the whole, strike me as smug twits, although some of them have gone through tried phases of decent work before sinking back into idiocy.
I can’t even watch this.
C. S. P. Schofield (99bd37) — 2/6/2017 @ 9:13 amThanks for the greetings, boys and girls.
mg (31009b) — 2/6/2017 @ 9:54 amelissa – lieawatha is losing credibility daily. Women have put together a series of radio ads against her. Message – We sent you to Washington to get things done and all you do is delay progress. It is having a effect. her numbers are down.
How’s the world treating ya, Norm?
papertiger (c8116c) — 2/6/2017 @ 10:29 amThat wasnt the least bit funny.
Back to the old, Republicans are dumb and every question from the press is intelligent and honorable.
I think Spicer is kind of a tool but its the same one dimensional mocking we get for every GOP administration.
(Cowboy/Bully) (uninformed/stupid/willfully ignorant) GOP is (mean/hateful).
Has their ever been a different take on Republican Presidents or their officials in an SNL skit?
Another reason i dont bother with TV at all anymore.
alecj (0c61c4) — 2/6/2017 @ 11:57 amStopped it after 10 seconds. Unfunny and not accurate at all. Scanned ahead a couple of minutes; watched another 10-15. Still unfunny and not accurate.
Evan3457 (9783e9) — 2/6/2017 @ 12:08 pm
