I think everyone got used to SNL being so terrible that no one was able to notice that it got a lot better. Fred Armisen, Amy Poehler, Andy Samberg, Kristen Wiig. It isn't the best it's been, but it's plenty good.

You are fucked in the face.

they were funny?

no, they weren't.

Are we talking about the entire history of the show, or current cast?

Awful. The worst Weekend Update anchor ever. No one's been really good after Christopher Guest set the deadpan standard, but Colin Quinn set a new low for blow.

Will Ferrell has always been fucking intolerable.

Chevy Chase: overrated.

i'd say he's rated. every time i hear him mentioned it's that he's a hack and not funny. sounds about right. is he worse than a hack and so not funny that he's a brilliant dramatic actor?

I've never found Rachel Dratch to be any kind of comedic genius. She has her moments, but not too many of them, and she can be incredibly annoying. Is she still on the show?

Jimmy Fallon corpsed enough to make Danzig blush and never made one funny joke on the show, as far as I can tell. Why did they ever hire him? Colin Quinn wasn't hilarious (at all, really), but he was way better at Weekend Update than Jimmy fucking Fallon.

Most of the '80's cast has been forgotten for good reasons.

Some Chris Kattan stuff was pretty overrated. Mango got old really fast.

Aside from that, who am I missing?

never heard of him.

never heard of him.

Did Tim Meadows make anyone laugh in the ten years he was there?

Does anyone remember that Janeane Garofalo was on the show for a season?
