I also feel like the "SNL was funnier in my day" comes from how TV used to be watched. When I was a teenager I would stay up late and watch with my sisters. On more then one occasion we wouldn't laugh during the episode but then talk about the skit so much that it became funnier in hindsight because it became an inside joke with my sisters. Also there was less content out in the world so it was more likely my friends where watching SNL. If I missed that weeks episodes, I couldn't always find them on KZread, I would just be out of the joke that week. My point is SNL was funnier when my friends and family watched SNL because sharing a joke with someone is funnier than laughing and a screen alone in your bedroom.

Not even close. It has to do with talent and writing. SNL has always had ups and downs. Its first few years were great. In the 80s, the show sucked for awhile after numerous big names moved on. It had a resurgence in the 90s, went downhill in the early 2000s, got better in the mid 2000s, and ever since 2013 or so has went from mediocre to borderline unwatchable. The new cast sucks and the writing is so cringey and politically charged....and very partisan. SNLs comedy used to appeal to everyone. Now, it only apoeals to a select people.

But even THIS strategy has failed . What’s so funny about seeing Jim Carrey doing an impression of Jim Carrey doing Joe Biden ? What’s so funny about seeing Alec Baldwin doing an impression of Alec Baldwin doing Donald Trump ? I’m old enough to remember when SNL used to cast literal sketch comedians in their sketches ! Seriously though , how many times must we be subjected to a sketch where they just tell the same joke OVER AND OVER again and call that a full sketch ? The same joke is repeated until the sketch ends ... Another tactic of the god- awful writers is to pack each sketch with the most amount of jokes possible , which oftentimes , does not allow for the satisfaction of waiting for that one perfectly timed joke or punchline . And the present cast members suffer from some of the worst comedic timing during their sketches . And don’t get me started on the incessant awkward pauses and clear signs the celebrity guest stars are reading cue cards. And these SNL writers try SO HARD to force sketches about current events ...ugh 🤢 These writers need reminding that the best and most iconic SNL sketches of all time , were ones which were just funny , without any relation to what’s going on in the world . People will remember the great sketches with good writing and good acting far longer than a bad sketch that was relevant at the time and had a celebrity in it , for the sake of having a celebrity in it. SNL sucks !

bill hader wasn't mentioned a lot in this video, and I just wanna point out something I've noticed about his comedic style that sets him apart. and I think this is why a lot of people consider him to be one of the best cast members of the last fifteen or so years. his impressions are transformative. most SNL impressions of movie characters, celebrities, etc, are just filler lines up until they Say The Funny Catchphrase. and most of these sketches fall flat (a lot of celebrity jeopardy sketches do this). but when Bill does his take on an existing character, he adapts the character to something like a new setting or time period, and transforms what could be a throwaway skit into something memorable. and sure, he's very repetitive. but he doesn't do the EXACT same thing in every sketch like some SNL actors do. with the exception of specific characters he plays, such as Stefan, he doesn't really have a single trait that he's remembered for. sometimes he's really loud and facially expressive, aggressive, homoerotic, even homosexual, but sometimes he doesn't say a single word, and he's probably funny regardless of what he's doing. he's adaptable. he isn't just a loud funny man, he adapts to what the skit/character needs him to do. and that's still apparent today, as he has found success in the show Barry, among other projects.

Just a quick note on Charles Rocket and why NBC tried to make him the next big star of SNL. Rocket worked as a serious news anchor for a few NBC stations across the country, and had produced a series of comedic short films where he played a reporter who asked random people on the street weird questions (similar to Billy Eichner’s bit 40 years later). These shorts were popular in the underground comedy scene of the late 1970s, and his experience as an anchor made hiring him to do Weekend Update seem like a perfect fit. After he got the gig, it went to his head. He felt that he had made it just be being on SNL, and didn’t need to try as hard. Hell, most of the people hired for season 5 thought the same thing as Rocket. He immediately began feuding with Eddie Murphy and Joe Piscopo because they dared to actually try and put effort into their sketches. Rocket was fired after dropping the f-bomb on live television, along with everyone else except Murphy and Piscopo.

my teacher last year showed an SNL skit to basically emphasize to pay attention in class. it was the classroom skit iirc, and i loved it. ever since then my biased view of SNL has been slowly been lifted, and this video made sure it was lifted wideeee open. he also showed us the entire history of the world at the beginning of the school year. he was real funny and actually chill, made school a lot more enjoyable than it is now. good video as always 🩶🩶🩶

Some of the skits from those early shows fell flat, just like they've done ever since.

the only snl sketches i watch anymore are the please don’t destroy ones. i think ive only ever been disappointed by their sketches twice, but 90% of the time they are absolutely hilarious. truly the best part of current snl

People need to realize that SNL is a creative incubator. It's about giving this cast the opportunity to have a TON of shots at bat and grow their comedic taste, timing, and temperament so that they can learn to sift through the shitty stuff and find the gold. And we as the audience might not benefit from each episode individually, but we benefit from the collective. This was such an awesome video, Drew - thanks for showing us that great comedy is a practice - not a product.

It's a one and a half hour show.

The laziest POV is that "it got too political" or my fav, that the sandler, spade, rock, farley era is the best. No one thinks the seasons are funny they are currently in. No one knew at the time who would go on to do brilliant things. Every season is hit or miss, nothing was perfect, there were no perfect casts (but I will say the hader, Wiig, armisen, sudekis et all in that 8-10 years era to me is the best)

Thank you Drew, loved your analysis of the show. I am also a big fan (watched a lot growing up in the 90s and now catch 2-3 bits a week from KZread) and realize it's not a perfect show, and you really summarized it's appeal and drawbacks nicely. I also have people judge me for liking SNL, so I'm glad there are other ppl out there who still root for the comedians and enjoy the ideas and laugh at the jokes. Thanks for putting this video together!

This is 100% correct. Years ago I set out to watch every unedited episode of SNL, and couldn't make it even through all of Season 1. Skipping around through the show showed me exactly what Drew is saying here. It's always had funny bits, and really terrible bits. People remember the funny stuff and compare the funniest sketches of the past to the worst sketches of the current season.

Yeah, that’s generally how people judge a lot of things. We can’t really help it, I just wish people were honest about it. It’s a mix between genuine nostalgia and just how our brains are wired to compartmentalize things. We only remember the really good or really bad mostly; if we made room for everything that makes us mildy annoyed, empty, angry, bored or uncomfortable, our brains would just be filled with meaningless nonsense half the time. When someone says old cartoons are better for example, they usually don’t know that they don’t mean that. When they say it, they’re thinking of literally the best of the best diamond in the roughs. Not the 2 to 15 other shows they had to sift through and wait to end in order for Batman TAS to begin or some shit. Who the hell out here is actually quoting megababies or Godzilla and godzooky?? Same thing applies to people who say modern music is trash, the 90’s/80’s were better etc. Ask anyone who was over the age of 50 back then and they have little to report to ya, the reason it’s in such high regard has little to Do with era and more to do with the fact that you were just young and naive and the world was still new. Not tryna bum people out but part of the reason sometimes the older things hit and the newer ones don’t has little to do with those things and just do with the fact that you’re just older now, and got more shit to do and worry about. It’s easy to look back fondly at something once it sets in that it’s never coming back. That’s just a product of livin’ in the present.; what’s sticking around and what won’t literally only ever becomes clear well after it’s already happened. Being disillusioned by that sometimes is inevitable Even stuff like the simpsons, spongebob got a ton of hate back in the day by older adults, but we’re loved a lot by younger people. In 20 years, I guarantee you mfs gon be gassin’ up this era of SNL too the same way. “Today’s bullshit; tomorrow’s nostalgia”.

when people talk about music today sucking, its referring to pop music and most of the arguments are in fact correct. Go check out Rick Beato's channel where he has a bunch of videos talking about this more intelligently than I can. Bottom line, pop music today sucks compared the 60s because the music follows a boring, repetitive pattern with the same chord progressions. It just feels emotionally empty and stiff. Pop music today uses drum machines, the beats highly quantized and all the voices are auto tuned to perfection which all takes away the human element causing it to lack feel and emotion. There is no comparison between a hit song today and the beatles, for example. Now, SNL has changed over the decades most people hate it because its not as edgy and its too politically correct. You could never have a sketch like Eddie Murphys Mister Robinson's Neighborhood from the mid 80s because white progressive liberals would lose their minds and call it racist. But hey, if you enjoy bland, politically correct humor thats not out to offend anyone, then todays SNL is the show for you. More power to you if you enjoy that. I simply don't enjoy it. I think I found 1 or 2 sketches over the last 5 years that were somewhat funny on SNL

@lisaporter-smith676

@@JoeG2324 The thing is SNL isn’t politically correct. It just doesn’t align with your personal political beliefs. The fact you said. “White progressive liberals” makes that abundantly clear. Not making the same race related jokes they did in the 80s isn’t political correctness, it’s common sense. Why make the same jokes for over 40 years? Do you really think the show shouldn’t have changed since the 80s? Now white men are the target of a lot of jokes suddenly that’s “political correctness” but when any minorities were a target that was just a joke? The “progressive liberals” shout racism at the jokes from the 80s but the “conservative right” shout political correctness at jokes made at the expense of white people. Just admit you don’t like you or your personal political beliefs being the target of the joke and preferred it when someone else was the target, instead of claiming it’s all just political correctness. Culturally in the 80s black people were a target and SNL reflected that because that’s what they do. Culturally in the 20s white people, especially rich white men, are a target and SNL now reflects that because that’s what they do. Their comedy has always been about current events and what’s happening culturally at the time. You don’t like what’s happening culturally right now so you don’t like SNL right now. For a show that you called “ bland and not out the offend anyone” you actually should pretty offended by it.

11:09 Fun fact! I heard that the commercial for a long white beard sketch actually was a conan o’brien bit he did behind the scenes to make other writers laugh at work so no wonder that shortly after he came to SNL it became an actual sketch on the show.

For me, one of SNL’s (and Letterman’s) biggest contributions was documenting the GREAT musicians from the 60s/70s who never got the screen time that came with MTV in the 80s when the music declined n the video took prominence. Also Keenan Thompson is a national treasure! Such a consistently reliable player whose infectious charm never fails to lift one’s spirits!

There's also the cherry picking of memory. I haven't seen it last few years, but it has always had peaks and slumps. Every period should be scaled on both average and best moments, cuz there are a lotta skits that lean heavily in the "I guess you had to be there" direction. Corpsing, extended improv, silly voices, impersonations... These can really weigh down the rewatch value of any episode. And man, I have a few periods I enjoy, but after the third compilation video any one will start to really grate on me

Had to watch this again and it has aged very, very well! You're a star, for sure.

We thought it seemed to be written pretty solely for the young gen X and elder millennial viewers. Of course there was the occasional funny bit, but overall it just seemed like it wasn't for us.

snl is lame mad t.v....its way more of a circle jerk of celebrity and less mean...its trying to be for teens and kinda a playpin for celebrities to act and feel comfortable while fulfilling their dream ..mad t.v. was for adults....went for the nutsack if you will and really did not shy away from tough topics

Lol that is so backwards. MadTV was based off of MadMAGAZINE which was edgy comedy for teens. I def preferred Mad as a teen and SNL as I got older, but neither now tbh. Does MadTV still exist even? Lol

Maybe the real SNL was the friends we made along the way.

Yesss

Drew Gooden's videos are my happy place. My 30's have been quite frustrating so far. I find myself watching KZread/streaming more and playing video games/hobbies less. This guy's humor has been just the right fit for me since the last decade. Eddie Burback, Danny Gonzalez Pitch meeting others etc , too.

rick miranis and dave thompson hosted SNL together is canadian culture and it’s important to note that they did it together to reference their very famous canadian characters from SCTV, a famous canadian sketch show airing at the same time

How people look at snl is how people look at vine. Now that vine is gone we think it’s some amazing content but in all reality we only think that because we only remember the good stuff through the youtube compilations but if you had the app back then it was just a mess of unfunny lele pons with a few gems

and even some of the "gems" weren't even that funny either looking back.

i disagree with the vine thing. i remember enjoying %90 of the content back then, sure, there were some really embarrassing people and content were there, but even that was ok because everything was original and people weren't trying to be funny and horribly failing at it (removing sone exceptions of that) there was no pushiness, just fun. also it was the comedy sense we had back then, now it's old but gold. so looking at all the fakeness and cringeness and the absolutely disgusting thing that brings this horrendeousness to us called tiktok now, vine seems like a legendary thing.

Honestly. I went back to show my cousin some old vines and sadly I just cringed at them 😅. Of course my sense of humor has evolved but yeah agreed.

The fuck? Vine was garbage, and everyone constantly made fun of it, like people make fun of tiktok now.
