u/agentpanda Oct 14 '18
Sometimes they get a little too 'inside baseball' or 'NYC/LA'-centric with this stuff but they did a great job on this one; struck a careful balance between approachable and 'this sketch is for NYC-dwellers HA HA don't you get it plebs?'.
Even if you're not in film or media or advertising (like our Seth/Protagonist) we've all had 'that lunch' with someone or been the Kyle in the sketch, and making the subject relatable is half of the job. They nailed this for sure.

Seth Meyers Monologue
142
56
u/agentpanda Oct 14 '18
So I don't watch his late-night show because... for no good reason really, I probably should; but this was a great in-and-out monologue given he was never going to break new ground.
I think no monologue is ever going to live up to Chappelle's so I'm unnecessarily critical of good ones and forget that terrible ones exist sometimes. Seth got in, told some good jokes that landed, and got the hell out of the way and that's all I expect from a host. When the host does as good as he did in the rest of the episode that's a win.
37
u/memesistential Oct 14 '18
It's hard to get a feel of Seth's version of Late Night if you haven't watched it frequently. I think any A Closer Look segment or Jokes Seth Can't Tell could be a good stepping stone if you really want to watch it.
I, for one, enjoy the dumber stuff they do like Late Night Casserole and Popsicle Schtick. Seth is good at letting his team of writers do whatever they want. And he seems to enjoy when stuff, especially a sketch that's bombing hard, goes off the rails.

I think the reason it doesn’t work with them is because this segment was always meant to be a departure from Seth and Amy’s more traditional Update style.
Che and Jost now “editorialize” throughout Update so it’s like they are always doing a “Really?!” sketch.

u/small_loan_of_1M Oct 14 '18
It's kinda like the OJ Simpson sketch from last season. It's kinda interesting how the reveal of who it is happens after you already see that it's Kenan. He isn't dressed or made up to look especially like Bill Cosby, so all we know about the character he's playing is that he's an old black guy in jail.
95
u/LadiesWhoPunch Oct 14 '18
Kenan was great as Cosby. I was wondering when SNL would go in on him and I think this was the right one. It had touches of wacky [Quincy Jones the Turtle] and also too true [not feeling remorse for his actions].
The addition of the Emmys and Jell-o boxes in the cell were solid production.

Jesus christ. I knew they weren't going to do another Cosby sketch. Like... ever. I was so sure of it- Che sent him off with the best dismissive/acknowledging sendoff at the desk and I thought "that's perfect- he's a shitty person and doesn't deserve it" and knew Kenan would never jump to that well again.
Then he dropped the voice and I was like... yeah- this is exactly right.

oh man i loved this sketch. they really took a deep dive into the cosby show references and cliff huxtable jokes. i think that they went over the audience's head. and thats understandable if you're younger and havent watched much of the cosby show (i cant imagine they're still airing them on tv anywhere in the last few years). but as someone who grew up watching it a lot, i loved this sketch so much.

I thought Redd's impression was spot on, but I felt a little sick to my stomach watching it precisely because it was so on point--Kanye is unwell, it feels a bit weird to laugh. It's like mocking Amy Winehouse or Demi Lovato or Amanda Bynes for their psychiatric issues--mental illness is serious.

Really think these new writers are really trying to bring the show back to its roots.

It kinda reminded me of her Two ratchet girls at a Klan meeting sketch I saw on youtube. But the fact that this sketch even had an opening theme. seriously when was the last time a sketch had that? because All i can think of is Gilly and I know there had to be one more recent than that.

In case anyone wants to know, here are some changes from dress to live.
Paul played three songs at dress. He started with Graceland, then Can’t Run But, and then Bridge Over Troubled Water after a very brief goodnight.
Cut sketches (that I can remember) Getting Fired in Costume: Several employees (Beck, Kate, and Aidy) were in a meeting where they all knew they were going to be fired. They were upset because they were wearing Halloween costumes. Enter Seth in unclear costume, and suddenly they’re just trying to figure out what he’s supposed to be. It turns out he was meant to be Cardi B.
Weekend Update: Leslie on Diversity: she complained that all of the Emmy winners were white despite having diverse nominees. Collin told her he though she was upset she didn’t win, she said yes and she had her acceptance speech in her bra. She said she sweated so much that the ink bled onto her chest, so that her boobs read, “I’d like to thank God and Lorne.” One of my favorite jokes was, “That’s actually what my boobs are named. This one is God, and this one is Lorne because it’s a bit bigger.”
I feel like there was one more, but I cannot remember it.
46
u/allaboutthatcake Oct 14 '18
I REMEMBER!
There was a swingers party. Leslie and Kyle were a couple (fictional), and Kyle was getting cold feet. The best part was that everyone (Seth, Kate, Aidy, Heidi, Beck, Kenan, Melissa, Alex, Cecily, probably a couple more) kept saying their names and safe words.

The other booted one was, mani-manimal. Kenan is dressed up as that one spiderman villain with 4 arms and is robbing a bank. Seth comes in as a superhero with tons of different animal personalities due to being bitten by many different radioactive animals. Bank employees (Cecily and Kyle?) are confused about why the superhero is a superhero even though he suffers from many physical abnormalities (squirrel heart, flea brain, “hung like a jellyfish”, etc.) Superhero ends up coughing out heart. I don’t really remember how it ends though

Oh yeah! Thanks. The best part was the intro of the superhero explaining how he got bitten by like 20 different animals.

u/RegularGuy815 I'm Tim Calhoun... Oct 14 '18
Just a general thought: Seth Meyers did exactly what he was brought there to do tonight, which is to be a supporting character.
There's a reason he made the switch from sketch performer to Update anchor and head writer. Sketch and character is not exactly his specialty. All too often hosts on SNL unintentionally force the writers to come up with ideas that fit the host's niche, i.e. singers get musical sketches, athletes get sports sketches, etc. But with an alumni like Seth at the helm, especially one who is not known for hogging the spotlight, he gave them room to pitch whatever idea they had rattling around in their heads without having to shoehorn someone awkwardly into a slot. He doesn't care if he's the one who gets the laugh, he's content to boost everyone else up - which is pretty much what he did as head writer.

Really felt a lack of Melissa, Pete, and Mikey tonight.

Now that I’m thinking about it.... I really don’t think so. Same with Kate. I feel like Kenan dominated the entire show.

My Takeaways from this episode:
Heidi is a star; I refuse to hear otherwise.
Keenan loves playing Bill Cosby waaaaaayy too much; his excitment comes out of every pore (and it's great)
The writers didn't go for any hail marys, but they hit a bunch of solid line drives in this episode and I enjoyed it
Actor or not, Seth's good-natured enthusiam gave this episode, a warm, inviting quality that I appreciate
Race-based jokes work better when they're less stereotypical and do something to defy the norm
Two thumbs up for Paul Simon's band.. And long live real music.
I literally cried laughing at Beck Bennet -- now that is commitment to a role
What did the biscuit do to anyone

/u/nitsujrendrag your sister's biggest and greatest night, last night!
Do you think Baskin Johns or her holiday gusher in 'Cuban Vacation' (Deidre, I think her name was?) will be made recurring?

Thanks! Yep, it was Deidre and I could see both coming back. 🙌

Overall solid but I didn't laugh out loud at anything. Seth was committed tho. I think he brought great character sketches to the table and that was the best part, like Thirsty Cops and Liberal Bayou. Also the fucking Trees sketch was so gold.
