Opening skit was tedious. That woman does not do a Hillary impersonation. She just wears a blond wig.

The weird 3 word responses of Obama were NOTHING like he actually talks. The main joke (that the media slurps Obama) is not that original or funny. ONe he got talking, I liked the voice, but the mannerisms were off. He’ll have it nailed by next fall.

The digital short was pretty funny (“that’s not your phone grandpa. It’s in the movie.”)

I liked the monologue (“now say it like a drunk chinese woman.”) and Tina Fey’s politcal bit. She’s a genuinely funny writer.

The Plainview/Chigurh must have happened after update, but that sounds funny to me.
