True, this totally unfunny sketch from “Saturday Night Live” started with a lame premise: secret word, or password, or $25,000 pyramid…you get the idea. The generally reliable Joseph Gordon-Levitt is miscast as the Latin actor, Will Forte has nothing to do, Bill Hader has nothing to do. The chick whose name escapes me is at least adequate.
Enter Kristen Wiig. God-awful, over-the-top, cheap, uninspired Kristen Wiig. The only thing less funny than a cliché theater performer is Kristen Wiig playing a cliché theater performer; it’s way too accurate. What makes this sketch even more unbearable is the fact that every Wiig character is like this one, and she could have done stupid Penelope or the Target Lady and the end result would have been the same: over-the-top, unfunny and look-at-me, look-at-me smug. Also: Where the fuck is her chin? Wretched.
i gotta say that throughout this entire episode, Joseph Gordon-Levitt was way more offensive than K-Wiig
Eric, you’re operating under the assumption that there’s something out there that could be less funny than Kristen Wiig to begin with. Interesting tack. Must ponder.
Dude. I love you like a brother. But lay the fuck off of KW. There’s a lot wrong with SNL right now (see January fucking Jones, Black fucking Eyed Peas and Black fucking Eyed Peas’ choreographer, not to mention Taylor fuck me Swift). Kristin Wiig isn’t even CLOSE to the problem. If SNL was the Bush Administration, Wiig would be Colin Powell. Fuck you. Happy Thanksgiving. Lots of love.
Wow, I just fundamentally disagree with that. I’d say she’s actually Don Rumsfeld: she’s very much responsible for the problems at SNL; she’s on TV far too often; she thinks she’s significantly funnier than she actually is; and her sketches rarely have an exit strategy.
Well put.
[...] Pelosi, Max Baucus, Jim DeMint, Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity, Michele Bachmann, soggy Rice Krispies, Kristen Wiig and Kate Beckinsale, it’s Weezer. Yeah. That’s right. Fucking nerd rock Weezer, [...]

Holy moly. I just searched something on google and this sight came up. lameo. whatta rip off. Kristen Wiig is literally God’s gift to earth. She’s incredible. Fabulous. Fantastic. Engaging. Creative. She’s just too perfect for words.
Furthermore, stop pretending like your opinion means something; you have a lame blog that no one reads. If i had such a lack of social life that i, too blogged, this is what my first post would read like:
True, this totally bullshit post from “Some Country for Gay Men ” started with a lame premise: bashing on creativity, talking trash about fabulous talent, annoying the shit out of readers… you get the idea. The generally reliable wordpress is letting this dumbass blog continue, the writer is hella angsty, and the words are dry. The grammar is at least semi-adequate.
Then pops up the words: “Kristen Wiig”. God-sent, magnificent, gorgeous, inspiring Kristen Wiig. The only thing funnier than a well-written snl sketch is Kristen Wiig in an snl sketch; it’s almost too much humor to handle. What makes this sketch even more unbearably hilarious is the fact that every Wiig character is new and exciting, and each and every time she never ceases to amaze me with her antics. The end result is always the same: downright impeccable acting, jokes that get me every time, a fantastic sense of humor. Also: Where the fuck is her chin? Wicked.
You know, when one goes to the trouble to write a comment on a blog “no one reads” (and more than two years after the post went up), then really, what does that say about you?
“Hella.” What a turd.
Wellllllllll, Dave:
I was merely informing you about how lame your outdated blog is. But, if you want to turn this into a debate, then so be it. I was searching “Kristen Wiig vacuum” on the internet in hopes of finding a particularly hilarious sketch that she was in. (then again, don’t all sketches that she’s in turn out to be hilarious?) This was the first thing that popped up. I was appalled, and thought I should take it upon myself to educate the misinformed and narrow-minded blogger.
