Saturday Night Live: Difference between revisions

* [[Take That]]: Sometimes ''SNL'' will dish out a [[Take That]] against something (cf. the "Really?! With Seth and Amy" segments, the "Bronx Beat" sketch with Katy Perry as a busty teenage librarian {given that the episode premiered the same week as news of a ''[[Sesame Street]]'' sketch featuring [[Katy Perry]] being banned because of Perry's allegedly risque dress}); other times, someone will issue a [[Take That]] against the show itself (cf. New York governor David Paterson's description of ''SNL'' during his surprise appearance on Weekend Update to confront Fred Armisen's insulting impersonation of him when compared the show to being governor: "It has a lot of characters, it's only funny for ten minutes, and then you just want it to be over") or a cast member (cf. David Spade's description of Eddie Murphy: "Look, kids, it's a falling star. Make a wish!").

** Turned on them when Rudy Giuliani hosted the show after 9/11. Lorne Michaels asked him if it was okay to be funny again. Rudy's response: "Why start now?"

* [[They Killed Kenny]]: Bobby Moynihan's Ass Dan character on the Kickspit Underground Rock Festival sketches. When the sketches first started in 2009, it was established that Ass Dan was dead at the age of 28 (Ass Dan was born in 1981). In 2010, another sketch (this time, an Insane Clown Posse music video parody) had Ass Dan alive and well -- until Jason Sudeikis's character, DJ Supersoak (who also was said to be dead at the end of the sketch at age 36 [DJ Supersoak was born in 1974], then brought back later without an explanation]) stated that "Ass Dan did just die when we were playin' that video there," moving Ass Dan's age of death to 29 (it was also confirmed on the "Crunkmas Carnival" sketch that Ass Dan was dead and he was finally going to get the wake he deserves -- until Ass Dan popped out of the casket and shouted, "''Yeah!'' You ''know'' I'm still alive, [[This Is for Emphasis, Bitch|bitch]]!" and before saying, "[[Tempting Fate|I'm gonna live forever]]!", was cut off by a memorial still that read, "Ass Dan: 1981-2010." Recently, there was a Kickspit Underground Easter Festival sketch that, once again, has Ass Dan alive again and cut off with a memorial still that now reads, "Ass Dan: 1981-2011," making Ass Dan 30 years old.

** [[Fridge Brilliance]] and [[Fridge Horror]]: The recent Kickspit Underground sketch reveals that {{spoiler|Ass Dan is susceptible to heart attacks, meaning that Ass Dan is, in fact, alive, and all the years he supposedly died was when he suffered a heart attack}}.
