For some bizarre reason, I decided to watch an entire episode of SNL on Hulu the other night while gaming. I guess it’s because everyone was talking about the Ambiguously Gay Duo bit that ran… I don’t know. Whatever it was, I’ll stab it in the face next time it accosts me. The clip (embedded below) was OK… I guess, if that’s your thing. There were a couple other bits that were OK. But the rest…. tERRible. So unfunny they were boring?
Does this show still make money?
I get that it has funny bits every so often that go viral (most of which seem to be cartoons or Samberg songs) but WOW, what a bunch of dreck you have to sit through to get to those gems, eh?
Note: According to Gabe, of videogum netfame, Hulu cut out many of the sketches. This makes sense, as I wondered where the hell the host of the show (Ed Helms) was during most of the sketches that ran. He was barely there! So, maybe there was a bunch of funny hidden from internet viewers. Also, Gabe apparently liked this episode, while I wanted to stab my eyes. And he evidently found the Garth & Kat stuff funny !?!?!?!? EXCLAMATIONPOINT!?
Is this actually funny? Is there something wrong with me for finding it so obnoxious? I suppose I wouldn’t be surprised if there was just something horribly wrong with me….
Aside: Evidently Hulu feels teerrrrrrrible that their commercials do not play on my systems. I do not feel terrible about this at all Hulu. In fact, I am quiet pleased. I would have stopped watching at the first commercial if they had been working. WAIT. That would have saved me from sitting through this crap. I take it back – please fix your commercials so I can be dissuaded from ever watching anything on Hula again!
ALSO: There are a lot of commercials (like 2 60 second pauses where a commercial would have been every 5-10 mins for me). Like. More than on real TV, maybe?
Of course, there are also commercials on youtube (!) now, so hey, we knew it couldn’t last. On to the next thing….
