I had never seen him nor heard his music before (all I had heard was something about Bill O’Reilly).
He is funny, all right.
Heard his name, never his music. I’ll tape it.
Seems last week and this, the writers woke out of their stupor. Its funny. They even did a O’Reilly segment.
Not to mention bitchslap.
I didn’t see the SNL tonight, but Ludacris was in the movie Crash. He can act pretty well.
I wonder if the great flaw of SNL is that the studio audience these days is too stupid for the humor. I thought Weekend Update was great, but the crowd didn’t get most of the jokes, especially the Bobby Knight one.
It took them about 5 seconds to get the “terrorism” line, which was the best of the segment.
Until he started shouting, I thought he was supposed to be playing Gilligan.
Was that really one of his songs? Hell is Home? wo.
I guess you gotta remember the Indiana days with the red sweater. Thinking about it now, it was out of context.
My sense of humour is too lowbrow, apparently. I’m only two sketches in, but the only thing that made me laugh was, “It’s like Beyonce’s ass moved up north, built a house and painted it white, yo.”
Weekend update:
Last tuesday Microsoft released its version of the iPod called Zune - as in “Hey, your Zune isn’t as cool as my iPod.”
feh.
The comedy wasn’t entirely terrible, but I could have done with a hell of a lot less Ludacris and his noise.
Wow, that’s an awful joke.
Too many sketches built around rap and rap culture. In his defense, Ludacris did an amazing job of not staring at the cue cards, and was more at ease in a live setting than most full time actors. So give him a thumbs up, but thumbs down to the writiers for making almost every sketch about rap, when he clearly could have done different types of characters.
The last scene of the pool sketch was kind of funny.
“Mouth to mouth? I ain’t doin’ that!” splash
“Memories…”
“He’s recollectin’ yall”
I was very suprised at how funny he was, two good SNL’s in a row.
Didn’t the moustache falling loose in the last sketch seem planned? Ludacris seemed to deliver the last line, about the moustache, a little too confidently. And the camera pulled back and went to commercial as he said it, as if it were meant to be the last line. There didn’t seem to be any other closure to the sketch.
I seem to recall a similar situation with a piece of loose facial hair not so long ago. The audience laughed at the mishap all the way through the piece, at the expense of the actual dialogue. That time it seemed accidental. Watching last night, I couldn’t help but wonder if this time it was intentionally done to get cheap laughs. God knows, as has been mentioned above, the studio audience seemed oblivious to some of the topical humor I thought was pretty funny.
Both times I wondered why the actor didn’t just reach up and push the errant hair back into place.
Anytime a black host is on the show it means plenty of Kenan Thompson. That is always a good thing.
Espcially considering one of that the show has a character with a similar sounding name that could mnade a better joke.
well that post… was all messed up… oh man gotta go!
Not too bad, overall. Ludacris did a decent job.
They’re rerunning Hugh Laurie and Beck on Nov. 25, BTW.
