So is every music act going to lip synch now? I preferred when they would incur shame for doing so.

i wish i could understand the ashley padilla hype. i end up just waiting for her to be offscreen. always praised for her acting but she plays evertything like she’s in an improv summer camp, all the weird voices or gimmicks don’t save it from being one-note for me. and as a performer i find her incredibly not generous. like sucking up all the air in the room. it’s an ensemble. take notes from the veterans. but to be fair, will ferrell wasn’t my cup of tea, even kate mckinnon wasn’t… so much Big Character Energy seems to be not my thing.

I agree with this but i don’t believe she should tone it down for the rest of the cast because the rest of the cast should be aspiring to get the most out of their lines like Ashley seems to

drindrun • 1 points

genuinely i think it would solve for me if she just wasn’t in (and often central to) practically every sketch. which is just a problem of the unbalanced male to female cast right now. cuz i want everybody who watches to get some of what makes them, personally, laugh. i think the best episodes have sketches that hit a lot of types of humour and showcase the whole cast. i realize sometimes last minute sketch cuts throw the balance out of whack, but leaning on one person isn’t great if you are a viewer who doesn’t ever laugh at that particular performer’s bits

For the love of god, FIRE JANE. She is not capable of doing this.

Jane is hilarious, and had some of the best laughs of the night.

Jane Wickline finally got a decent shot at some funny sketches. I thought this was her best outing yet.

“Stop asking her if she knows stuff.” That Agnes sketch was relatable.

Did he seriously say “a female”? Gross. Who the fuck wrote that?

drindrun • 0 points

that’s the joke, no?

NoneOfThisMatters_XO • 0 points

Whats the joke? Please explain why it’s funny.

esushi • 8 points

He was being extra and unagreeable for the whole bit, so at least we were supposed to think he was gross for saying it

cutmastaK • 0 points

For real. Like it’s from 2005.

Lighten it up. It’s a comedy bit. No one know one N. European accent from another.

And the sketch reminded me of a Finnish joke: An old married couple are arguing (meaning being more silent and sullen than usual), and the wife says “I don’t think you love me.” And the husband says “But I told you that time we got married! If it changes, I’ll let you know!” I dated a guy from Oulu once upon a time. . .

Laughing at people thinking that they have more experience with Russian accents than a Finn. Remember, it was designed for an American audience. Honestly, most of us Americans associate Finland with Scandinavia than Russia, though I know that technically you are not Scandinavian but are Nordic. It is sketch comedy written in a week, and who knows how long they thought they would have Stellen, especially given his stroke, so there likely wasn’t time for him to get a good Finnish accent down. It’s not like Finnish has 14-17 noun cases and is one of the hardest languages to learn! (Sarkasmia!) Also, Stellen, since the stroke, has to act with an ear bud in his ear with someone saying the dialogue to him. So it may be that whoever was feeding him lines was doing it that way. I mean he has acted successfully in, what, five languages? And is nominated for acting in a language that isn’t his own? I was hoping for a Gus or Bill cameo. Especially during the Viking sketch, where Gus could have played Loki again.

as an (ignorant) american, I cant tell the difference between those accents, so I didnt pick up on that difference in portrayal

esushi • 6 points

He didn’t sound Russian in any way, either. Sounded like a general “epic Viking” accent like from any Hollywood Viking representation… which I’m not saying is accurate, but is recognizable to us and definitely not Russian-like

cheezballs • 4 points

I can definitely tell a Finn accent from others, but it might be from my 30 year obsession with Finnish death metal. Hey, I hate America – can I come live in Finland? Like, will you put in a good word for me?

Reseeirox • 14 points

It did not sound like Russian accent to me at all, nor did it resemble a Finnish accent. It just felt like a random variation of the “Scandinavian” accent.

ScorpionX-123 • 14 points

I guess he didn’t Finnish his research

Jane earned some of the best laughs of the night! MVP goes to Ashley though. Where was Keenan?

courtqnbee • 5 points

Kenan was busy bonding with his leopard son.

mrcorndogman33 • -8 points

Um, Jane earned zero laughs. Ever. She needs to be fired.

ItsWillJohnson • 4 points

Nah something clicked for her this week. She nailed her delivery on the stop asking her if she knows stuff line and her acting was good on the Olympics promo.

JinkiesGang • 1 points

Markedly improvement.

Turbulent_Tale6497 • 7 points

I felt Kenan saved the cold open. His got the perfectly timed “nope” down pretty well

I-Have-Mono • 4 points

It’s famously “Kenan.”

NecessaryInterrobang • 16 points

This may be a mean take, but I feel like a lot of the current cast can’t vary their tones. I super-love Andrew Dismukes and Ashley Padilla, but we get similar deliveries despite the context. I have only been thinking about this with my frustration with Veronika S’s delivery. I wanted to think about those whose delivery I enjoy. I just wish they embodied characters slightly differently. Obviously Mikey is the worst at this, for the most part.

chewytime • 8 points

I agree. They’ve gotten very limited when it comes to range. I know it’s a comedy show, but it’s vaguely familiar in a not so good way sometimes.
