EL BROMANCE posted:It’s amazing how much better SNL is when you have people who really get comedic performance like Mulaney and Glover than when they get whatever actor pimping their latest film who doesn’t know poo poo about the art. Last 2 episodes have ruled. Sometimes actors can be ok. What's really awful is when you have politicians or sports figures come on and the vast majority of sketches are a train wreck of unfunny.

Poor Miserable Gurgi posted:I...don't think you quite got what he was going for there. That was purposeful, not him forgetting the camera was on. The song wasn't supposed to be entirely fun. Yes and no. I got that it was intentional, but I needed to listen to the songs again to get the lyrics. Yeah, it seems appropriate rather than pretentious in hindsight. Definitely missed the subtext of his musical selections. Honestly, Glover is pulling off what faux-celebrities like Bieber and Jayden Smith aspire to but few achieve. The last 4 days for Glover is what Kanye thinks he's been doing these last few weeks... A good take on his new video if you click for thread: https://twitter.com/thelocalemo/status/993410712407076864?s=21 Pretty stoked about Schumer and Fey. My only worry is that Fey will go mostly political when this season's best has avoided partisanship.

I think most of what people hate about Glover is actually because of the obnoxious dickheads who fall all over themselves trying to be his biggest fan. I’ve never really seen him as a try hard and just tune all that poo poo out and enjoy the guy for what he is

That This Is America video is really interesting. Lots of stuff going on there, it's way better than the live performance (which wasn't bad!) I didn't hate the musical act, this isn't a first, but it's pretty rare. Donald has some things to say, and is good at comedy too.

Yeah, the video is trending everywhere around the world right now, and rightfully so. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VYOjWnS4cMY

Toxic Fart Syndrome posted:I even liked both of his musical performances and the thought/effort that obviously went into them: especially the lighting in the second act! That was amazing. But the way he drops the facade at the end and just stands their blank-faced like a concert master at the Youth Orchestra makes him seem like a joyless performer. If I don't think you're having fun, it doesn't seem fun anymore... I notice this frequently with SNL musical performers, to the point where I wonder if they are instructed to do so. But I agree in this particular case that DG was probably playing on the subtext of the song.

Wow, that was the best episode of SNL in years. The sketches felt really tight -- even the ones that fell flat at least got in, made the joke, and got out rather than lingering around with an unfunny premise for five minutes too long.sportsgenius86 posted:I think most of what people hate about Glover is actually because of the obnoxious dickheads who fall all over themselves trying to be his biggest fan. Childish Gambino isn't really in my wheelhouse musically, but I respect what he's pulling off artistically.

Watching Childish Gambino perform "This is America" on SNL as a 35 year old middle class white guy was a real "wtf is going on?" moment for me. It really needs the music video to make it's point. First musical act was solid.

Tonight’s Vintage is Reese Witherspoon with Florence + The Machine from S40. Same story as last week, it may be partially or wholly pre-empted by NHL Playoffs.
