What SNL Did Do: Week 4

How did I do?

• Joe the Plumber. They did this. Indeed, they overdid this.
• "Zero, really?"They didn't do this. Instead they joked about tiny unicorns. Tiny unicorns. I'm serious!
• Fiesty, frustrated, fast-blinking McCain. They did the fast-blinking part.
• Teflon Obama phoning it in because he's ahead in the polls. Nope, they didn't even try to make fun of Obama.

The sketch wasn't very good. I think SNL has satire fatigue as well. They should have scrapped the entire debate sketch and just had Amy and Seth do a 20 minute long weekend up date with "Joe the Plumber" or "a plumber" as a guest commentator. The debate sketch was just odd, talking about tiny imaginary people and unicorns. Not funny. Just odd. Meanwhile, the Weekend Update portion was very funny. Hulu clips and a few more thoughts after the jump.

The not so funny debate sketch:

Weekend Update had a funny running gag: Crazy McCain Rally Lady. They based the character off this woman....

...and came up with this humorous rendition.

The best part of the show was a new segment by Seth and Amy called "We Liked It." I liked it too. Watch for Amy's bit about teachers getting paid worse than plumbers. It's my favorite part.
