In reply to: Patrick Lonergan 's message, "REVIEWS: Lindsay Lohan 04/15/06" on 17:54:00 04/15/06 Sat

Oh, I am proud of that line. Though I must confess that a friend of mine at school came up with it. But who knows, maybe it motivate more people into leaving feedback. Anyway, here are the reviews.

Mexican Border Patrol: Patrick shared the idea with me earlier this week, and I thought it was quite funny. There was great banter between the guards, particularly regarding the one's relatives and their green card status. I enjoyed their interactions with the illegals trying to cross, and their comments after offing the aliens ("We should be jumping their borders," great line.) And of course, they gave Lindsay Lohan exactly what she deserves in the end, capping off a perfectly wonderful cold opening.

Monologue: This started out with good potential, with Lindsay upset over the comments on the message board and freaked out by what people said about her. But when it denigrated to mimicking parents dealing with a troubled teen, it quickly went downhill. I didn't find that part that amusing, sorry.

Sylvan Learning Center: A so-so piece, I believe I've seen the premise done on South Park already, so for me it was nothing new or creative.

Pushing It: Loved this piece. It was marvelously absurd; the actors getting their cues from the doctor and director mixed up, the improvised dialogue for a horrible movie, slams at Scientology... priceless. Reading this makes me cringe when I think about what dreck the retarded frigid cows writing SNL will churn out for the actual Lohan episode.

Bird Poo-Poo: I'm not that fond of gross-out pieces, and the disgusting premise of this sketch diminished its humor for me. Sorry Jason. Oh, as an interesting bit of trivia, did you know that if the excretion is only white, then it's actually the bird's urine? They have to solidify their urine to remove it. So perhaps "Bird Pee" would have been a more appropriate title.

The Dude Show: First let me say, and this is not a criticism, but for a piece that is completely written, mentioning songs that are playing do nothing for the piece. We can't hear the songs, so there's no real reason to mention one is playing. That's just my opinion though. I wasn't too fond of this sketch, there were too many pop-culture references and sexual comments in place of humorous material.

The O'Reiley Factor: Didn't like this, it was kind of the same berserk, idiotic "I hate all liberals" Bill O'Reiley parody I've seen too many times before.

Mastermind: I didn't even bother to read this. I'm sorry Mark, but your Bush sketches are predictable. They contain the same rehashed "Bush is a moron" jokes that have been tossed around for years, and those that tone down on the dumb jokes are filled with hostility. I apologize, but I don't come to this site to read political rhetoric.

Not Exactly a Routine Checkup: It was kind of predictable, a slew of Mario jokes that fell flat.

My Ex-Girlfriend: This was incredible. It's the ultimate awkward date situation, and the characters incredibly handled it in a calm manner. There were also a lot of killer one-liners and some nice visuals that would have been great to have actually been seen.

I hope I didn't upset anyone if my review of their sketch was too harsh. I don't want to cause animosity, I'm just presenting my point of view. Catch you all later.
