(Score: 7 out of 10 for the VP debate; 1 out of 10 for the pointless, unfunny Jim Carrey as Jeff Goldblum as The Fly asides). (Think of her as the mafia’s Candace Owens.) And, the best part about it, is that Bill Burr breaking stuff on SNL was cathartic as hell.. I guess this is what they wanted Carrey for? (Watch Here) (Score: 4 out of 10), Sam Adams Commercial — A Bill Burr Octoberfest ad is basically the spiritual successor to Casey Affleck’s Dunkin ad. Contrast them with Bill Burr! Or about how Black people are always complaining about cops killing them. But I am here for a performance-driven piece about social awkwardness in the workplace stemming from same, and Burr does fine work backpedalling sweatily as his trash-talk deflates into a desperate series of lies concerning his awareness of the killing that his Black colleagues have been so affected by. Comedian Bill Burr hosted SNL on Saturday night, marking his first time on the long-running sketch series. I grew up in Massachusetts at around the same time as Bill Burr. Because that would be tasteless. Even though SNL’s pared-down pandemic audience (no jokes about the pay-for-laughs revelation last week) made reading reaction harder than usual, Burr wound up wrapping his set with a “Well, that’s my time” of the type usually reserved for a comic who just bombed.

This is probably the funniest SNL Monologue in a long time and it is no surprise that it offended the Twitter community. The Story So Far Saturday Night Live premiered season 46 last weekend, with Chris Rock … Kenan Thompson does stellar underplaying as ever as the host who sees just what a hornets’ nest everyone has just stepped into, but it’s Burr and McKinnon’s all-too-relatable, Frankenstein’s monster social ineptitude that makes the sketch run. (Not to cast aspersions, but tossing some middle-aged white jocks into the deep end of having to fill four hours talking about Black Lives Matter protests reveals some personal and institutional blind spots.) (Pete’s Long Island vs. Burr’s Boston.) Beck Bennett’s Mike Pence is an interesting enough creation (thankfully the tired “noted homophobe Pence is in the closet” gag took the night off), his soporifically sonorous Vice President showing off a little more active, Trump-ian evil in his biggest spotlight to date. The worst: I really don’t have a clunker to pick out this week, but the low-key Mafia sketch perhaps could have used an ending, so I’ll go with that. The mask jokes? Kate McKinnnon as Dr. WeKnowDis offering a second opinion on Trump, on the other hand, is terrible right up until Kate McKinnon completely loses it, strategically breaks character, and turns the whole segment on its head. A recap of Saturday Night Live’s October 10, 2020 episode, featuring Bill Burr and musical guest Jack White, replacing Morgan Wallen. Damnit. Burr put on a hairpiece for a sketch about police brutality and poorly-timed pranks. All of our TV reviews in one convenient place. And, sure, the veep debate didn’t have the bottom-of-the-barrel sludge of the farcical presidential one to fashion into something, but there was certainly more of substance to be done than having Biden hop into a Cronenbergian telepod and fly-barf onto Pence’s snowy hair-landscape. The addition of Jim Carrey’s Joe Biden is completely unnecessary and idiotic. (“Could actually mobilize his base? It has a Jason Momoa cameo. And it worked, none better than in the opening cookout scene, with Burr and Kate McKinnon (much more later) finding an angle on pandemic lockdown madness that hit over and over. Comedian Bill Burr raised eyebrows with his "Saturday Night Live" monologue. Che and Jost going for broke here, telling jokes like this is their last season. F*ck off, Burr. Viewers may know Burr for playing Patrick Kuby in Breaking Bad, although he has also fronted comedy podcast The Monday Morning Podcast since 2007. The comic, who hosted the sketch comedy show for the first time, gave a … Jost and Che did this well. (Some online have praised this as McKinnon breaking character but, bless your hearts.) As it turns out, that’s just what SNL needed. Cold Open — The nice thing about a Vice Presidential debate that does not involve Donald Trump is that it’s actually not parody-proof, and Maya Rudolph and Beck Bennett do a terrific job of parodying Kamala and Mike Pence. !” coupled with a side order of shut-in shutdown cabin fever makes for a feast for Burr and McKinnon. Because The Fly. His Canton and my hometown of Saugus were within high school rival egg-chucking distance (if you had a car), but, while we never had the pleasure, I still have a sense that he would have at least made fun of me. Boston-area Massachusetts is a tough place to navigate. Burr’s godfather, just released after 20 years in prison, finds his welcome home dinner repeatedly interrupted by his capos correcting his outdated (as in 2000s) Sopranos-style offhand bigotry. Comedy flash-bangs hurled into the clearly wary audience included wishing death on the families of those still not wearing a COVID mask, cheering on the recent New York sucker-punching of beloved, long-absent Rick Moranis, and a run about “cancel culture” that began with Burr announcing, “I don’t want to speak ill of my bitches” when talking about white women. But it’s when her gabbling, softly accented doctor started manhandling Jost under the pretense of giving the co-anchor a blood pressure test with her squeak-toy sphygmomanometer that the real joke burst out from inside the dopey setup. To Trump’s steroid-fueled brag about him catching the disease he’s done exactly nothing to prevent (calling it “a blessing from God”) Che quoted God as saying, “Hey, we tried guys.” And speaking of Trump’s gasoline-on-the-fire “leadership” on COVID, Che got his biggest groans (and my highest scores) for claiming that, while he’s not glad Trump died from the disease that’s killed over 210 thousand Americans on his watch, seeing Trump up and about is like “a car crash where the only survivor is the drunk driver.” One more. Riding on their transgressive momentum, Jost and Che just kept nailing jokes, which is a rhythm that, when they find it, is as confident and funny as any team of Update anchors ever. Mat, who probably has 5 or 6 year-old pumpkin-flavored beers sitting in his fridge that he’ll unload at someone else’s house at the first opportunity after the pandemic, will also like this one. Nope. Wearing a grey face covering, the 52-year-old comedian hosted the second episode of … Hearing Burr spit out the term “woke culture” prepares you for some hacky bigotry, but instead pivots to a run of unlikely allyship—that turns its comic derision instead on privileged white women inserting themselves into the cause of racial justice. Burr’s is a boldly unlikeable act, one that teases those prepared to burst out in whooping agreement-laughs before clanging both those he’s suckered in and some nearby unsuspecting targets over the head. Yeah, no. That he and adult son Mikey Day ultimately get into a fistfight over cereal choices and some clearly unresolved issues just cements the Massachusetts spirit of it all. As was the vibe in most of the material all night, there wasn’t the feeling that SNL was lowering its standards as much as leaning into what they know they can do well. Burr is such a strong personality (both in his stand-up and his popular, homemade podcast) that it’s a little odd to hear him in tonight’s monologue explaining that hosting Saturday Night Live is “a lifelong dream.” Like everything else Burr shows up in, tonight’s show tingled with an undercurrent of comic tension, in this case from the incongruity that Burr was hosting SNL at all. Che, on conservative hypocrisy about Trump being treated with stem cell therapy derived from aborted fetuses: “They do a comp, Burr’s monologue steered hard into audience unease as his jokes about white, Same goes for Burr using Gay Pride Month to stick up for Black History Month (“. And while it’s a false comfort taken from unlikely white males actually being on the right side of something, it’s still all the funnier when Davidson’s stoner little brother comes right out and slams the formerly beloved children’s author for “go[ing] all Mel Gibson on us.” He also delves into some shady stereotyping in the Harry Potter-verse concerning the “little giant-nose Jew-goblins” she made the wizarding world’s banker class.

Her name/catchphrase bit was going over about as well as could be expected—there were generous laughs, because it’s Kate. Funny, right? Jost got his gasps, appropriately enough, by describing the learned-absolutely-nothing spectacle of a COVID-stricken Trump speaking to a live, equally unmasked White House crowd being like watching someone smoking through a hole in their neck. Pop culture obsessives writing for the pop culture obsessed. →. I mean, look: If you like Bill Burr, this is exactly why. Even here, though, Burr anchors the proceedings with a nimble subversion of expectations. It’s really about the strange times we’re living in! (And here comes the autobiographical element once more—ride it straight to hell, Perkins.) Comedian Bill Burr pissed off a lot of people with his “Saturday Night Live” monologue Saturday night. If there’s a beneficent Masshole, Bill Burr is, begrudgingly and rewardingly, it. (Pete Davidson and Alex Moffatt, too—just some nice, lived-in acting. (I was—and remain—one of “the people we all cheated off in high school,” as Burr describes COVID experts and other eggheads in his monologue.) What can I say—Kenan makes a funny fly.) Privacy Policy / Advertise And it’s only just begun. The character of the told-you-so COVID expert “Dr. The Blitz saw Burr’s persona getting a fine workout once more, as his professionally boisterous sports commentator’s traditional mockery of Black colleague Kenan’s failed football pick explodes in the face of Kenan and co-host Ego Nwodim’s public sorrow over a racially-motivated police shooting. Burr is such a strong personality (both in his stand-up and his popular, homemade podcast) that it’s a little odd to hear him in tonight’s monologue explaining that hosting Saturday Night Live is “a lifelong dream.” Like everything else Burr shows up in, tonight’s show tingled with an undercurrent of comic tension, in this case from the incongruity that Burr was hosting SNL at all. SNL host Bill Burr made some controversial jokes during his opening monologue. Don’t bring that sh*t to my house, bro. Cancel culture: F**k you. The best: Burr’s a character actor (when he’s an actor), something that informed much of the cast’s performances and the sketches tonight. Maybe it’s that—apart from the cold open and Update—the show mostly ditched politics, a move that, considering SNL’s wobbly track record in that area of late, freed everyone up to just be funny performers. Burr plays the ugly “I’m just saying what everybody’s thinking” white male cis comic card, but flips it over (and over again) to usually reveal a better joke than you’re expecting. Stand-up comedian Bill Burr played an ignorant sports commentator unaware of a tragic police brutality incident on the latest episode of “Saturday Night Live.” Oh lord. Comedian Bill Burr caused a bit of a commotion after delivering his “Saturday Night Live” monologue on Saturday, Oct. 10. This is exactly why. And while it’d be easy to mock celebrities in politics as a concept (my local senate race sees Republican Susan Collins demonizing opponent Sarah Gideon for having support from Hollywood types like—gasp—Zach Braff! Plodding and obvious, for 12 minutes. A fly landed on Mike Pence’s head during the debate. Wenowdis” (it’s Greek) smacked of a true loser of a one-joke premise, even if Kate looks striking in a wiry wig and late-period Groucho mustache. By Dustin Rowles | TV | October 11, 2020 |. (Daru Jones, with his forward-leaning stand-up drum kit, is a spectacular, on-point sideman.) Watch here. It’s not really about race, see? Here, Burr, having forgotten the name of the (this time) fictional Black man killed by white cops, tries to save his bacon by exclaiming in a moment of inspiration, “There are so many guys to name—that’s the problem!” Sadly, his elaborate setup to humiliate Kenan over picking the Buccaneers includes on-set delivery of their wagered steak dinner and an inappropriate camera filter dutifully played by the boys in the booth over Kenan’s sincere plea for justice. (“Unpresidented” for “unprecedented,” “the noon normal” for “the new normal.”) Steeled for that to be the one and only joke, the laughs came, instead, from Burr and McKinnon’s layered, escalating, crazy-eyed fury at being corrected, their day-drinking quarantine brains emerging as so buffeted and bruised by their nine-months of packed-together isolation (and 20 COVID scares) that their neighbors’ innocuous corrections cause repeated eruptions of faux-sincere, glass-throwing repentance. Those sound like setups for truly shitty jokes, and, depending on your tolerance for sneering Bostonian disdain, they might stay that way for you. (“I can say that, because I’m half-goblin,” Davidson reassured everyone.). Saturday Night Live guest host Bill Burr has attracted criticism for opening the show with a tired monologue about Pride Month.. Here's why. The joke, once again, is on privileged white folks (in this case, celebrity variety) trying—and failing, to often eye-rolling degree—to insert themselves into a struggle they’re far too removed from to truly understand. With just the right combination of subject selectivity and “fuck it” attack posture, Jost and Che delivered a much better Update this week. https://nypost.com/2020/10/11/bill-burrs-snl-monologue-causes-twitter-firestorm Trumpdates: We Will Never Live Down 'Basket Full of Deplorables' | “It was the worst SNL monologue I’ve seen in years.” “@Nbcsnl, please don’t ever leave this person hosted again. “The one thing that we do know is,” she begins forcefully before holding for an exquisitely prolonged pause, “that—no we don’t know dis.” All-star stuff, born of all-star performer confidence. I kid, I kid: But for real, the Trump jokes at the top of “Update” killed, especially Che. Burr’s persona is all over this sketch, with his don espousing a retrograde sensibility that’s as objectionable as it’s rightly confused about the moral gymnastics his associates are engaged in as they attempt to conform to the new normal. The whole monologue has some very, “I have a Black friend, so I can sh*t on women and gay people” energy. Are people working from home? During the latest episode, the actor, who stars in "The King of Staten Island," gave a stand-up segment that addressed topics including cancel culture, anti-maskers, marginalized groups, and … That this is the first skit of the night does not bode well for the rest of the show. SNL is bad at these. SNL: Why Bill Burr’s Shocking “White Women” Joke Worked Burr presided over a great episode of Saturday Night Live , featuring Maya Rudolph’s martini … Send up a flare. One example of glancing off of current events without diving in over your head was the TikTok filmed piece, with Beck Bennett’s marginal actor (he’s on something called The Buddies on Nintendo TV) going for some of that viral “Imagine” internet heat. !” Watch here. His Irish, working class gruffness makes his turn as the patriarch of F Is For Family’s working class clan the quintessential Burr role—a Masshole (although the Burr-co-created animated show takes place in Pennsylvania) whose vulgar disregard for decorum and other people’s feelings comes yoked to an unexpectedly deep well of self-loathing and bad influences. And there were a few funny throwaway lines, as when Pence refers to the “Macho Man Randy Savage amount of steroids” Trump is taking. I don’t think I’m going to count tonight’s late-sketch appearance as a full Biden outing for overall evaluation’s sake, what since Carrey spent a third of his time as the fly on Mike Pence’s head, and another third as Jeff Goldblum. White, with his stripped-down three-piece band and signature lyrical and guitar virtuosity, was, no pun ever intended, electric. For featured players, it’s a matter of biding your time and counting your screen appearances, but I can’t imagine anybody’s happy come the final sketch lineup at this point. Comedian Bill Burr has come under fire for his monologue on Saturday Night Live this week. “So, the idea is this: A white guy is giving a Black guy shit because he lost a bet, and the Black guy is upset because cops keeping murdering Black people, but the white guy pretends to feel bad, but he’s mostly just excited that the Bears won and he’s gonna rub his Black colleague’s face in it! (To be fair to Page, nobody short of character actress Margo Martindale in [pick a role] could be expected to get this bad-faith political theater into shape.) Bill Burr received mixed reviews on social media for his controversial opening monologue during the most recent episode of “Saturday Night Live.” … Pete Davidson looks good. Bill Burr took the reins of “Saturday Night LIve,” kicking off the night with a very topical and edgy monologue that carried through the rest of the evening.. “I’m making fun of toxic masculinity!” Are you, Bill? For the second week in this new, admittedly screwed-up season, no Melissa—not even in the goodnights that I saw. Yeah, there are plenty of topics in this utterly preposterous election cycle that SNL could be digging into–but, honestly, do we really want that from this show as presently constituted? No thanks. Like Burr, Pete’s spotty progressivism comes couched in townie matter-of-factness. I don’t know what dummy who blew his big TV break for mask-free Bud Light Lime Morgan Wallen was going to bring to the table, but all-freaking-hail Jack White for blowing doors tonight. With nobody leaving the show after last year and Lorne packing in the new faces, there just isn’t enough room on this lifeboat. His acting in live sketches was more confident than it’s been, and, since he joked about Mental Illness Awareness Week (“We out here and we crazy—go Giants!”), I’ll just say it’s nice to see. Great. Are you? Performing in shifts? )—Bennett’s take is much more targeted, and inhabited. When fellow professional Bay Stater Casey Affleck hosted, it was only right that he appeared in a Dunkin’ Donuts ad whose premise was that the regular denizens of that ubiquitous (Canton-based) coffee chain greeted commuters utilizing Dunkin’s new order-ahead app by hostilely demanding, “You think you’re better than me? They just can’t help themselves, can they? Sure, he has the Pete Davidson connection, but, as his monologue showed in its typically uncompromising willingness to piss people off, Bill Burr on Saturday Night Live is a constitutional mismatch. “Bill Burr can fuck himself. Contributor, The A.V. Here, the premise is micro-targeted at this one guy, nodding as he repeats his roommate’s reasonable objections. This weekend, comedian Bill Burr will host Saturday Night Live. This is parody! (Score: 6.5 out of 10), ← Burr has a way of making you think he’s going to say something truly awful, then swerving to say a completely different awful thing, without ever letting the first awful thing dissipate completely. It didn’t look that way, to be honest. Pete Davidson, meanwhile, tackles J.K. Rowling’s transphobia, and it’s pretty great, too. McKinnon is money as ever as the second ineffectual moderator of this ongoing shitshow, Susan Page. The Moranis joke? Maybe it was the lack of talk show sketches, game shows, or recurring bits in favor of some original, moderately ambitious conceptual stuff. I mean, how did this pitch go?

(Score: 5 out 10), Weekend Update — How do you make Colin Jost and Michael Che funny? If anyone’s listened to any sports talk radio in the months when COVID had essentially shut down all sports, then Burr’s inept attempts to come to grips with something other than the daily scores will sound awfully familiar. Carrey spent more time on his good-but-not-great Goldblum than he did on the Democratic candidate tonight, and it’s probably just as well. So that’s the joke. Host Bill Burr does stand-up about the COVID-19 pandemic, cancel culture and the "woke" white women. Answer me! In theory, having an absurd 20 cast members on hand gives SNL more to choose from, but holy cats, this is ridiculous. Bill Burr didn't hold back in his controversial opening "Saturday Night Live" monologue.. But it was Kate’s Update. Host Bill Burr does stand-up about the … The Pride month vs. Black History month? If you don’t? But, in each case, Burr’s swerve comes in turning that “You think you’re better than me? types” and more about how (mostly white) people latch onto something they think absolves them while still engaging in the systemic behaviors actual activists are protesting. But her broadcaster-smooth extended aside about Trump’s health (“Oh, I wasn’t asking out of sympathy, Mike, I was asking with a simmering rage for his incompetence and a sadistic hope that he is not well”) comes from her and nothing in the debate itself. On the heels of a lackluster season premiere, comedian Bill Burr is hosting “Saturday Night Live” this week. Decent. I love having Maya back in the house, I truly do. Okay, somebody tell me that Melissa Villaseñor is okay. Like Burr’s monologue joke about oblivious co-opting, the target here is less about “those P.C. Davidson, incredulous, on Rowling: “She creates a seven-book fantasy series about all types of mythical creatures living in harmony with wizards and elves. Again, I don’t have all the faith in the world for this show to do a hard-hitting comic dissection of systemic racism in law enforcement. Burr didn’t bomb, except in the sense that a comedy hand-grenade can be said to bomb. If there’s one way to sum up the last episode of Saturday Night Live, it might be to quote the immortal words of the Limp Bizkit song “Break Stuff.” In not one, but two sketches, guest-host Bill Burr was breaking glasses. Not all of the skit is successful, mind you. “I have a lot of wigs and mustaches at my disposal.”. Yes, the boss rails variously against “Mexicans” and “queers,” but his outbursts are gingerly condemned by his underlings because he hasn’t internalized the superficial wokeness of language that they have—while they continue to kill, steal, and do all other traditional mob things. By Abigail Covington Raw, live, and visceral just feels really right right now, you know? It’s not as good, but aside from “Update,” it’s the best skit of the night. “Trump surviving COVID is like the drunk driver being the only one that survived a car crash.” Exactly. #SNL “ “I … ), The rest: It’s odd looking back. What substantive political comedy there is sneaks in around the edges of these creaking, laboring, applause-bait celebrity showcases, as when Kenan pops up as a fly-reincarnated Herman Cain to remind everyone that Donald Trump effectively killed his one Black friend. It’s not enough to save it. !” Burr’s comic style hews closely to that hair-trigger, defensive offensiveness, only for Burr to veer into a more—dare I say?—liberal lane, without ever losing the tone that suggests he’s prepared to punch you in the mouth if you agree with him the wrong way. (Or noon normal.) And Jim Carrey’s Biden—exists. I fled Massachusetts to go to college out of state and never went back, while Burr headed to Emerson without, like I did, ever suppressing his bluff, confrontational, very imitable accent the world has come to dub, “the Masshole.” (I guiltily retrained my “r”s once I left, although that old bullying Masshole voice still tags in when I’m really angry.)
