SNL is blowing pretty bad

Not sure about the rest of you, but I think the first two episodes of the new Saturday Night Live season have been downright awful. Luckily for DVR I can breeze through the crap in under 15 minutes. The first thing that caught my attention last week was the opening skit with Fred Armison playing what I thought would be his usual Barack Obama impersonation. He normally did an awesome job – but it appears that NBC was told not to mimic Obama as good he used to – and his impression was terrible.

The one semi-saving grace was yet another Andy Samberg Digital Short – entitled “I Threw it on the ground.” While nowhere near as good as “J*zz in my Pants,” still pretty funny (“My dad is not a phone!”)
