STARS: ***, MONOLOGUE This episode and Michael Jordan/Public Enemy are generally held up as the best athlete hosted episodes the show has done and it’s easy to see why. — Hilarious visual of each car seat being a toilet. — Another great line from Peyton: his random one about practicing French kissing with his French-kissing puppet. — Even just the build-up to Will’s famous dance, where he’s initially just intensely listening to the music with a very serious look on his face, is coming off funny, though even moreso when you know what’s coming.
the oven-equipped Mercedes 550 is the car for meatloaf lovers like host, — Pretty funny random concept. Even the stuff that people tend to dislike like 300 and Penelope worked for me. Locker Room is one of those lightning in a bottle moments. — Lots of funny odd, disturbing, and very random revelations being delivered by Kristen and Peyton in a calm, affable manner. — I do like Jason’s performance as the increasingly agitated director, and there are some occasional laughs from Peyton, but otherwise, oof. Mainly remember the “Locker Room Motivation” sketch with Will dancing what to me at the time was something that sounded like Herb Albert and the Tijuana Brass and later found out, it actually was! — A random inclusion of Dan Aykroyd as one of the crying audience members during Sanjaya’s singing. Stage 18 Studio. It’s too bad he never came back like Charles Barkley. — A reminder of those “Head-on, apply directly to the forehead” (*repeat several times*) commercials that were rampant in this time period. It is such a rare, rare gift, and I loved every moment. No question. Didn’t notice Amy acknowledging that.
I suppose by this point Amy was secure enough in her role at the show to take this risk, and she does a very good job with it.
— Like the first installment, this overall sketch was kept at a perfect short and sweet length. As mentioned in the sketch Ted Trimble is 56-2 and Mandy Jensen is 58-0 with five games left to play. I will add that the locker room sketch in this episode was the best. — Kristen’s delivery and the one-upping habit of this character are already making me laugh. Overall the whole thing is a masterpiece, enhanced by the sheer joy that Will Forte brings to his work on the show. The post-Update half brings down the score a bit, but still a great episode overall. The problem with 300 is that the conceit doesn’t really work.
Is he under the weather this week? In the monologue seated behind Archie & Olivia is Eli’s girlfriend turned wife Abby who also appears in Eli’s monologue five years from now.
Second-best episode of the season. From what I’ve heard, this is one of the only breaks from Bill during the first half of his tenure. — I love watching the reaction of the performers in the background during Will’s dancing, and how some of them are attempting to hide their genuine amusement (Bill in particular has his hand strategically placed over his mouth in a resting manner almost the entire time, because he already KNOWS he’s going to break at Will’s dancing) while some of the others are just openly smirking without hiding it. It wasn’t as funny as Peyton’s, but it went in a slightly less obvious direction and I appreciated Eli’s take. host’s brothers Eli & Cooper [real] give him a birthday cake. This was on the verge of being an all-timer episode before the post-Update section, where you get a terrible sketch (300), a fine if low-key sketch (porch), and then two (to me) just okay commercial parody things. Absolutely priceless and legendary. The bracket sketch interests me partly because the female part in this seems like the type that Amy would have recoiled from earlier on, as she and Tina dealt with the boys club atmosphere. I didn’t even notice until you pointed it out that Amy “ruined” it by acknowledging his presence. Peyton Manning is really enjoying the retired life.
300Summary: While filming a climactic scene from “300”, an actor (Peyton Manning) frustrates the film’s director (Jason Sudeikis) by refusing to throw a large rock at a fellow actor (Fred Armisen). Promos (Jason is very funny, especially in the second). There’s been a rumor that the kid who is getting the tattoo in United Way is future Modern Family star Nolan Gould, he’s not listed on IMDb but it does look a lot like him. For some reason, I said “United Way” was “melancholy and straightforward”; 13 years on, I have come around and acknowledge this as an all-time top ten Digital Short. ….Kristen WiigExtra on a rock….Will Forte [Opens with a building. a step up, My full set of screencaps for this episode is here. — I think I recall hearing that Seth unknowingly mispronounced the name of the polar bear all throughout the Zoo News segment. — So far, a one-note character from Kristen, and a precursor to an unfortunate endless number of one-note “look at me” recurring characters of hers, but this particular character is working pretty well in this inaugural appearance of hers. I never fail to crack a smile at that sketch. MY PERSONAL CHOICE OF “BEST OF” MOMENTS FOR THIS EPISODE, REPRESENTED WITH SCREENCAPS, HOW THIS EPISODE STACKS UP AGAINST THE PRECEDING ONE (Julia Louis-Dreyfus) STARS: *****, MUSICAL PERFORMANCE host is a poor role model for kids during a United Way activity, — A very famous and often-played piece. I had also forgotten that Penelope debuted this “early”. While the sketch is kind of funny, I had never really understood the NCAA Tournament sketch. — A hilarious inclusion of random foreign tongue-clicking sounds from Maraka in the middle of her very long-winded spiel delivered in Spanish. I wouldn’t have minded this sketch appearing at least one more time in a regular episode. — The increasingly random, unrelated, inappropriate questions Maraka asks viewers are priceless. — An overall forgettable commercial. part of 300 being filmed with major difficulties
Seth being under the weather makes sense. host tells a joke & introduces dad Archie, brother Eli, mom Olivia [real], — The Tom Brady/circus/three rings joke Peyton relays was very good. — A short and simple but fairly charming monologue. Not-so-great “AI” contestant Sanjaya being given a crying reaction from a young teen girl in the audience constantly during his performances was such an overdone cliche that, of course, some “SNL” cast members do the same thing including original cast member Dan Aykroyd! I never get annoyed with that character, for whatever reason. A sketch where everything magically comes together and is carried by the performer. LOVE this episode and besides the 300 sketch, everything worked for me. “DO IT, ASSHOLE!” was fantastic. Petyon hitting and knocking over kids with the football when passing to them, him speaking very harshly to them, him teaching them inappropriate things like picking the lock of a car, etc. Dan’s random cameo would’ve been funnier had no acknowledgment been made about it by Seth or Amy.
Well other than that truly awful beauty pageant sketch. Hader and Suds are everywhere again.
— And there goes the famous dancing. April 14, 2007 – Shia LaBeouf / Avril Lavigne (S32 E17), February 18, 2012 – Maya Rudolph / Sleigh Bells (S37 E15), February 11, 2012 – Zooey Deschanel / Karmin (S37 E14), February 4, 2012 – Channing Tatum / Bon Iver (S37 E13), January 14, 2012 – Daniel Radcliffe / Lana Del Rey (S37 E12), January 7, 2012 – Charles Barkley / Kelly Clarkson (S37 E11). This is a part Victoria Jackson would have aced. Over the course of the sketch, Ted’s anger changes from simply Mandy beating him to Sudeikis’s Chris Graham constantly reminding him that he, a published author and college basketball expert, is losing to a girl and then finally the meta twist of Arizona being labeled as the tournament’s “Peyton Manning” due to their great regular season but lackluster postseason results which was a common criticism of Manning until he finally won Super Bowl XLI in his 9th year in the NFL less than two months prior to this episode. STARS: **, GOODNIGHTS Earlier this week, the future Pro Football Hall of Famer was spotted at the beach in Miami where he was throwing a football around with his family. — This premise is just plain dumb, thin, and questionable, and not in the funny way that those kinds of premises can sometimes be. — A pretty good laugh from Jason yelling “Don’t pull a Peyton Manning!” to Peyton’s character after he angrily walks off the show. The opening paragraph of this Fast Company article is absolutely fraught with bad SNL takes (“Michael Jordan bad; George Foreman good”). awful basketball players don’t need Nike Air Force One shoes, — Two commercials in a row? It’s the same league as Matt Foley and those Close Encounters sketches with Kate McKinnon. — Peyton: “I just thought about going out there in the second half, and a little bit of pee came out.” And great birthday celebration of Payton at the end credits. — I love the brief cutaway to Peyton’s deadpan confused face during the discussion of one of Amy’s girlish reasons for her picks, even though the whole latter gag with Amy’s girlish picks and her having no knowledge of sports is starting to feel lazily stereotypical.
