Not sure I care for where the rest of this sketch has been going. Judge’s cop being overly accepting towards Victoria’s profession is fairly funny so far. Decent ending with Jon as a preacher touting a bible. Good part with Jan’s stewardess character suddenly tearing open her blouse when flirting with Judge. Some really good visuals in this sketch. This kinda reminds me of the tobacco-spitting airline sketch from the previous season’s Garry Shandling episode. (host) flies on a filthy, crime-ridden post-deregulation airline Whitney and his daughter each coming up with a lie against his wife. Whitney doing an analysis of each of this year’s presidential candidates, where I can already tell there’s going to be some good lines. Excellent sight gag with Al suddenly getting struck by lightning. Nice addition of a neck brace on one-man mobile uplink unit Al Franken. Musical guest performs “Like the Weather”Įlectrical storm cuts one-man mobile uplink unit ALF’s Florida report This overall sketch as a whole didn’t work for me, despite some laughs early on. This sketch is too slow-paced for my likes. I got a laugh from Judge sternly ordering his soldiers to give Phil a ride home. I liked Judge’s modest “sorry” after angrily yelling “SILENCE!” In the preceding season 12, John Lithgow had that Reverend Dwight Henderson, World’s Meanest Methodist Minister sketch, and several years later, Tim Robbins stars in a (terrible) sketch titled Sweet Jimmy, The World’s Nicest Pimp. They seem to like doing this type of sketch in this late 80s/early 90s era. The “If You’re Happy and You Know It” number was an okay ending to the sketch.Ībsolute power hasn’t corrupted Jorge Garcia, Nice Guy Dictator (host) The back-and-forths between Robertson and Swaggart are cracking me up. Some really great lines from Church Lady towards Swaggart. Very funny entrance from Phil as an over-the-top crying Jimmy Swaggart. Pat Robertson: “Hitler’s brain is being kept alive in Paraguay.” Good to see Al Franken’s funny Pat Robertson impression back. Televangelists Pat Robertson (ALF) & Jimmy Swaggart (PHH) This overall commercial has always been one of my absolute favorite SNL fake ads of all-time, and is usually one of the first things that come to mind whenever I think of how great the fake ads in this era were. Great ending with Kevin, and I absolutely LOVED his scream when falling down the trap door. This commercial is freakin’ hilarious so far. I also love how Jon angrily bangs his fists on his desk during that part. Excellent part with an innocent guy suddenly crashing leg-first through the floor while he was casually walking towards Jon’s desk. Dana’s scream when falling down the trap door was very funny. Love Jon’s nervous smile when Phil looks at him after noticing his failed trap door attempt. I must’ve seen this in one of the “SNL Goes Commercial” compilation specials. Even though I’ve never seen tonight’s episode before, I’m very familiar with this fake ad. They reliably remove unwanted people from your office Some of the brief stuff Judge is doing in between the whistling is fairly funny, though. This whistling song kinda has a charm, but it’s going on far too long for my likes. Interesting turn this has taken, with the home base stage being darkened and stagehands putting up western-like set pieces as Judge describes a story. Did we need to see these one-note characters so frequently this season? After a few installments, you start to realize that their shtick isn’t all THAT funny. Until doing this SNL project of mine, I never realized how one-note Hans and Franz are. Overall, not too bad in itself, but to be honest, I’m starting to get kinda tired of these characters. (last screencap above) I’m assuming that’s for copyright reasons, kinda like how when some of the fake ads from the Ebersol era would use real brand names, they’d spell it slightly differently (e.g. I got an unintentional laugh from how the box of “Weaties” is noticeably spelled without the “h”. Memorable part with Hans and Franz’s chests moving in unison. During their simulated pummeling, I like how Hans and Franz are rapidly repeating “pummela pummela pummela” over and over. Pumping Up With Hans & Franz- USA Olympic skier (host) isn’t very pumped Segments are rated on a scale of 1-5 stars
