Saturday Night Live/YMMV: Difference between revisions

** Some of [[Seth Meyers]]' jokes on Weekend Update are often met with the audience groaning over how tasteless the joke is. In fact, a lot of past Weekend Update anchors have had this happen to them (particularly Brad Hall, Dennis Miller, [[Norm MacDonald]], and Colin Quinn)

* [[Ear Worm]]: ''[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZEAYcR8w_tE The Ambiguously Gay Duo! The Ambiguously Gay Duo!]''

** Inverted in the monologue as Tatum (the stripper) remembers all of his customers (an allegedly religious woman named Denise, a married woman named Bridget [whom Tatum remembers as "Flithy Bridget" because of all the filthy things she would ask for], a man named Leslie [who ends up dying when Tatum uses his stripper moves to refresh his memory], and Leslie's doctor, Dr. Matthews), much to their chagrin.

** The episode hosted by Alec Baldwin and his wife at the time Kim Basinger on February 12, 1994 will forever be remembered as the episode that had the "Canteen Boy Gets Molested" sketch (and the episode after that, hosted by Martin Lawrence, will be remembered for Martin's raunchy monologue about women's hygiene [which was so tasteless, it nearly got everyone on the show fired and is often cut in reruns and replaced with title cards explaining the gist of the monologue and why it can't be shown on TV anymore]).

** A sketch on the Topher Grace episode from Season 30 (2004-05 season) called "The Not Incredible Adventures of the Down-And-Out Dollar" parodies the fact that the U.S. dollar had reached an all-time low by having a tiny dollar bill (Amy Poehler) being mocked by currencies from other countries, one of which is a Euro (episode host Topher Grace), who brags that he's doing well in every country in the European Union. That would prove to be so very false five years later with news of several European countries suffering from economic meltdown (what's worse is that the Euro mentions that Greece was doing better than America economically in 2005, which isn't all that true now).

*** Then again, the Euro is still worth more than the American dollar, so it isn't all that off.

** The season 29 episode hosted by Nick Lachey and Jessica Simpson (particularly the "MTV Future" sketch in which Nick and Jessica are shown as an old married couple), now that the two aren't together anymore (of course, the same can be said for the other episodes hosted by famous couples, like Tom and Roseanne Arnold and Alec Baldwin and Kim Basinger [even though Basinger didn't appear in a lot of sketches, and considering the Baldwin-Basinger episode itself became notorious for the "Canteen Boy Gets Molested" sketch, a [[Funny Aneurysm Moment]] is the least of that episode's worries]), though that could also be [[Hilarious in Hindsight]] for anyone who hated the two or were sick of the media coverage.

** In Jim Carrey's monologue on his second time hosting (in January 2011), he states that he loves hosting again, especially at this time, since 2012 may be [[The End of the World as We Know It]] (never mind the notorious "prediction" that the world would end on May 21st) and that people should spend 2011 making the most of what they have. The aneurysm moment comes when he says, "When the earth opens up, so will new parking spaces." Two months after this episode aired, Japan's earth really ''did'' open up, thanks to that earthquake (and, no, there were no new parking spaces born from it).

*** The Merryville Brothers sketch on the Justin Timberlake/Lady Gaga episode is a little [[Lighter and Softer]] compared to the one from the Jim Carrey/The Black Keys episode...until the [[Fridge Horror]] sets in: if the robots {{spoiler|tried to kill Kenan Thompson's character}}, then who's to say that they {{spoiler|wouldn't do the same to Nasim Pedrad's character or Jason Sudeikis's, since Nasim's character got married to the robots played by Justin Timberlake and Taran Killam and Jason got paired up with the robot played by Bill Hader}}?

** [[Jim Carrey]]'s painted face at the end of "The Black Swan" sketch, which makes him eerily look like The Riddler from ''Batman Forever'' and the laugh paired with the music from ''[[Black Swan]]'' will haunt you for days.

** On the season 37 episode, hosted by Melissa McCarthy, the mock advertisement played after the monologue was about a doll called Lil' Poundcake, a doll that has been FDA approved to administer the HPV vaccine to children under 10, complete with retractable hypodermic needle. The commercial was supposed to be funny and poke fun at the current issue, but [[Paranoia Fuel|this troper still can't sleep]].

** Taran Killam as Bruce Jenner on the "Kim Kardashian's Fairy Tale Divorce" sketch. Killam made Jenner's face so frozen and creepy, it should be used in public service announcements for the dangers of excessive cosmetic surgery. Also: the way Kristen Wiig as Kim Kardashian's mom, Kris, says, "What do I have to do to get attention: murder someone?" is a tad unsettling.
