Saturday Night Live/YMMV: Difference between revisions

{{work}}

* [[Broken Base]]: Dick Ebersol's era. Some regard it as the high point of the show after the original cast; others think of it as a bastardized version of the original concept, designed to pimp Eddie Murphy and Joe Piscopo (and later, Martin Short, Billy Crystal, and Christopher Guest) at the expense of everyone else. [[Take a Third Option|And there are those who say that it may not be as great as Lorne Michaels' original cast, but it is worlds better than what Jean Doumanian turned out in her short stint as executive producer]].

* [[Hilarious in Hindsight]]: For every [[Funny Aneurysm Moment]] on this show, there are at least a couple of [[Hilarious in Hindsight]] moments that make the sketch funnier years after the sketch aired. Some examples:

* [[They Changed It, Now It Sucks]]: The near-constant changing of writers and cast members is one of the most common reasons why fans have a love/hate relationship with the show. [[Seasonal Rot]] is the other.

 

* [[Crowning Moment of Funny]]: Dana Carvey returned as a guest-host and did another Church Lady skit, which includes the Church Lady attempting to have Snooki exorcised, and then feeling herself fall prey to the allure of [[Justin Bieber]].

** Having a cast member of one race play someone famous from another race is nothing new to the show. [[Jimmy Fallon]] (the same one who became notorious for cracking up on-camera) once played Chris Rock in a Season 25 sketch, which is more of an unfortunate implication than Fred Armisen playing Obama.
