come on everybody let's make cocaine cool

SNL used to be one of the funnier network shows out, but lately (past 4-5 years?) it seems like the show has completely fallen off. You all remember it, "Live from New York, it's Saturday Night!" That opener used to ilicit expectations of laughter but now, most of the skits are mediocre and unfunny. It seems like the only thing keeping SNL afloat to Joe Public is Tina Fey's impression of Sarah Palin.
In case you missed it:

Most people have said they like the Fey/Palin bit but I think the funniest part is Jason Sudeikis' (Conan interview) impersonation of Joe Biden.

Other than these skits, which SNL has already started to beat to death, the only things worth watching are the musical acts (they've had some pretty dope people on as of late), some of the digital shorts, and MAYBE Weekend Update. I'm not sold on WU 'cause I'm not sure if it's actually funny, or if it's like the girl that's hot because she hangs out with ugly girls. Is WU funny or are the other skits that bad?

This is my favorite digital short by far, Andy Samberg's spoof on the Iranian President, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad. Adam Levine with the children's choir is classic.


A Boldin-less Cardinals squad beat the Cowboys to go 4-2 heading into the bye week. Let's get it.
