View Full Version : Saturday Night Live 5/16/15 - Louis CK and Rihanna robyrob 05-17-2015, 12:42 PM what did you think of this week's episode? robyrob 05-17-2015, 05:32 PM Cold Open: Summer Time - some sort of strange take on Hillary Clinton's run for president, Kate MacKinnon is funny but this seemed like they were just trying too hard. Monologue: Louis CK is always funny, even when he is making light of pedophiles. The Shoemaker And The Elves: This one was just so-so; once you got the joke, it didn't go much farther than that. Sprint Store: Louis CK does a passable impression of Leslie Jones and the sketch worked, even though it dragged a little too long. Buy Wood Products: I liked this - what will happen next with it? Rihanna: I don't get it - that was some pretty bad lip synching. Weekend Update: Taran Killam did a bit about the deflate-gate and made me hate Jost even more. Pete Davidson turned 21 and made me laugh, hopefully we won't get to see Jost turn 21. Vacation Resort: I like Cecily Strong but this sketch was a little flat and didn't seem to be really going anywhere beyond the "shrimps and bubbles" bit. Police Line Up: 4 actors treat the line-up like an audition, had a couple of funny moments but it didn't really go anywhere past that initial idea. Buy Wood Products -part 2: Simple bit, but it worked. Forgotten TV Gems: weird but very funny, my fav sketch of the night TMC 05-18-2015, 03:34 PM http://www.ew.com/recap/saturday-night-live-season-40-finale Saturday's season finale started off great and went downhill after the monologue. PLUS: SNL finale ratings down (http://deadline.com/2015/05/saturday-night-finale-ratings-season-40-louis-ck-1201428631/) from last year, watch Louis CK get accused of stealing jokes (http://www.ew.com/article/2015/05/17/watch-louis-ck-get-accused-stealing-jokes-cut-snl-sketch) in an unaired sketch, and Louis CK's child molester jokes "sparks uproar."
