I'm actually a fan of the show who catches it most weeks and I fell asleep shortly after the Black Swan skit. One would think a Carrey hosted SNL would be ELECTRIC, but I'll never know. Unless I watch it On Demand.
I was expecting more from Jim too but what can he do with bad material? Usually Weekend Update with my boyfriend Seth Meyers makes me laugh but I didn't crack a smile at all.
it wasnt horrible- i kind of chuckled when they showed the buffalo wings on his back, as opposed to swam wings. as long as you go in knowing you will probably never reach a height past midly amused its a reasonably entertaining show. the only thing that really nails-on-a-scratch-board bugs me is when their skits go an extra 1-4 or 5 minutes over an already pretty limp skit. Then its just irksome. But I enjoy Carrey and certainly would rather see him than fraken Gweneth Paltrow- who will be hosting next week. ughhhh
My kids and I had a great time laughing at parts of this skit, but it was a bit uneven. I was impressed that two generations could sit down together and actually find some humor in the same skit!
We get it Jim -- you have a large mouth and overly expressive facial features. Maybe still funny for the 13 year old male demographic but I'm thinking the large majority of adults are over it.
I found this entire show not funny. Really expected more out of Jim Carrey/SNL cast.
ReplyDeleteI was actually home on a Saturday night and caught this show...it still REEKS! What has it been? At least a decade since it was kind of funny?
ReplyDeleteI barely smirked at the sketches.
So glad I'm not the only one that didn't think this was funny. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteNot funny, but I dislike Carrey so I might be biased.
ReplyDeleteSNL hasn't been funny for several decades (for real)
ReplyDeleteI always forget this show still exists.
ReplyDeleteI couldn't watch the clip, but I still second Cheryl.

ReplyDeleteI saw another skit and it was mildly amusing till Carey joined in. Then it was unwatchable.

ReplyDeleteThat's what I thought too. I was wrong. The Black Keys were good, but I expected that.
Not even Jim Carrey can save this wreck. I'm not even sure Mike Myers can.

ReplyDeleteThe Black Keys were good though!
We live in a humorless time. EVeryone is poor and we aren't laughing. Well, a Sarah Palin NRA suicide skit may make me chuckle...
ReplyDeleteI jest, I jest....
I thought it was funny. It was not hilarious but it had me giggling lol.
ReplyDeleteWait for GOOPie!
ReplyDeleteThey blew their load on Betty White.
ReplyDeleteJim was ok, felt like I was watching an old episode of In Living Color with him doing all his impressions at once.
@timebob-This skit is basically Jim doing Vera De Milo.

The skit was sometimes hysterical, sometimes unfunny. I haven't seen the Black swan though.
ReplyDeleteI'm not a fan of Jim Carrey, but I am of SNL.

ReplyDeletehow is this funny? is it because a man is dressed like a ballerina? is it because he makes stupid faces and gestures?
ReplyDeletethis is one step above "ow, my balls" from idiocracy.

ReplyDeleteThis particular sketch wasn't that funny, but I had a couple of chuckles throughout the show.
ReplyDelete"Namaste"
"Yeah, it IS nasty!!!"
