Bill Burr Hosted SNL tonight?
- Thread starter Doobie Doo
- Start date
I'll admit, this monologue was blah...
But Bill Burr has classics. My favorite is his Arnold bit.

That was mid, but Burr himself isn't mid and he hasn't fallen off.
His last SNL monologue is enough to know he's still that guy, but they can't all be bangers. Especially since you've only got a week to work it out, and the fact that the jokes were probably one way last week and had to switch and be workshopped from Wednesday forward. He was just hesitant.
But I actually think if Kamala won he would have gone harder and been funnier because people would generally be in a better mood. Winners don't mind being roasted. That's why you can go hard at politicians at the White House Correspondents Dinner.
But since Kamala lost people have been walking around in a pre/post-funeral mood so I get why he didn't stick the knife in. The way people have been acting this week he easily could have made a white woman cry and run out of the audience on live TV.

Sticking the knife in isn't just about gloating, it's about making people see where they went wrong and how they could have gone right.
But the SNL audience might as well be a Democratic campaign office. They're not in the mood for that, and Bill has become pretty empathetic so I assume he could sense that, which is why he sandwiched political talk between 2 random bits about getting sick and Shaq.
The "whore it up a little" bit he did was half-hearted, but he was going down the right track.
It takes time to hone what you feel like saying and then executing it. 3-4 days isn't enough time.

Bill’s my guy but nah…this wasn’t it.
It's not just snl. His specials have stunk, and I havent listened to his pods in many years. He started having his wife on too much, and he got too successful. His anger now feels like a schtick. It's also annoying to hear someone hide behind "dont listen to me, I'm an idiot" but still have a faux angry opinion on everything.
So you mean to tell me that Robin Williams, Bill Hicks, Lenny Bruce, and George Carlin didn't get a chuckle out of you?
Burr works better when his back against the wall or he's shooting the shyt.
Especially his wrestling takes

not a one, in acting Williams was the goat, but stand up, nah
SNL from the monologues to the skits are typically weak. Bill Burr is always great.

Nah. I think the last 3 years of SNL has been funny as hell but so far season 50 has been really bad outside of Weekend Update which always hits imo.
They barely been using Ego and she is the funniest person on the cast. Adam Driver last season every fukkin skit was hilarious. I can't point to a single skit this year that has had me laughing.
