Saturday Night Live Jan. 9th

Brief summary and review of last night's SNL episode. Susie, an Andy Samberg Source staff member, does the honor.


Charles Barkley's monologue definitely left something to be desired. He began by poking fun at racism, and ended by poking fun at racism. It was short, and rather dull. He was also a little stiff, and seemed especially like he was reading cue cards.

In the classic commercial after monologue, Bill Hader played a member of an Insurance Company that specializes in peeping

Kristen Wiig and Charles Barley play two normal people on a game show called Real Quotes, in which they fail epically and earn a few laughs. The best part of this was Kristen's super long quotes that have absolutely nothing to do with the movie.

Yet another Macgruber, in which Macgruber has a new black assistant. Macgruber spends the whole sketch trying to tell a racist joke when he should be disabling a bomb. It just makes me wonder about the Macgruber movie.

Kristen Wiig brings back her Barbie voice while in a ski lodge. Enough said.

The second Macgruber finds the three stuck in the exact same situation but with a Macgruber schooled on not being racist. Sadly, this non-racism leads to another explosion.


In my favorite sketch of the night we have Andy Samberg playing a child with overwhelming corpse disease who is commentating on a basketball game and doing a horrible job of it.

The third Macgruber of the night finds us once again with the exact same situation as the prior two, but this time Macgruber has rediscovered himself. Guess how that plays out.

Another stiff sketch from Barkley, this time involving golf clubs, but a funny one nonetheless.

Sure enough we have an Alicia Keys and Andy Samberg short. Sadly, there is no singing (or rapping) involved. But it is hilarious, with Andy playing one of those...Andy characters. The kind of character that only Andy can pull off.

Another Scared Straight, basically the same thing that's happened in the past few. And yet, it still does not get old.

Barkley's Bank, a short sketch poking fun at Barkley's past gambling offenses. Not exactly hilarious.
