I didn’t get a chance to watch Saturday Night Live last night, mainly because I was too busy playing Mass Effect 3. That multiplayer is so addicting, so it’s hard to resist hopping online and playing a few rounds with my Vanguard character.
Luckily, I have a DVR box in my room, as well as one in the living room. So today, my mom decided to show me a quick recap of last night’s episode of SNL. Honestly, I didn’t really laugh that much. I mean, yes, there were a few moments that ensued some laughter, but not all of the skits were that home run I was hoping for.
Out of all the skits last night, only one really stuck in my head, The Californians. The skit proved to be quite hilarious and it kept me laughing, probably because the cast had a hard time not breaking character, and they began laughing themselves.
I have only been to California once, but I’ve met quite a few of the “stereotypical” Californians while I was out in Colorado, and some of them seriously do act like that. Of course, the SNL skit was quite exaggerated, but it was still amazingly hilarious! But the best part of the skit, was seeing Bill Hader having such a hard time staying in character, and him almost busting out in laughter prompted the other actors to lose focus. The laughter is such a ripple effect.

You’re right though. That one actor used all his will power to not laugh. So funny.
Posted by getgln | April 16, 2012, 2:07 amLMAO. Such a great skit!
Posted by ThinkSoul25 | April 16, 2012, 12:30 pmI love their tangents with the directions of how they were getting places. And I loved Fred Armisen’s “ARE YOU SERIOUS?” That cracked Bill Hader UP. Great sketch. Glad you liked it, too.
Posted by thoughtsinblogform | April 16, 2012, 9:17 pmHow do you feel about SNL casting the only black actor in the sketch as the ” ‘scaped” prisoner? Another way of asking is, how do you feel that SNL made the ” ‘scaped” prisoner black? Do you think SNL’s writers or casting directors are racist for doing this? Portraying blacks as criminals promotes stereotypes.
Posted by stereobuster | April 27, 2012, 3:39 pmIt’s a trend that SNL does quite frequently, and I think it’s still a sad commentary that for so long they only had one Black actor on the cast. Then they add Jay Phaoroah to the mixup, but the still doesn’t change the fact it would be nice to see more diversity in the cast. I don’t think the writers/casting directors are racist, but I do think they are doing what Hollywood and television does best, rely on stereotypes for comedic appeal.
