Awkard title, but normal review. Well I said I�d review this episode so I will. After wards I�ll finish the Carrell review and then I�ll get to work on my nominations and post
them by Monday.

Bigger Fish: Saw Big Fish loved it. Read the sketch and I loved it. Wow Pat you�re really giving it to the SNL establishment and I respect that. But the ending was an excellent twist. Jason Sudeikis popping out was a perfect example of comedic randomness. And it�s probably the only time he�ll say the phrase.

Monologue: I have to say this is an excellent parody of The Island. I planned to do something like this for Willy James, but yours was better by all accounts. I love it when somebody besides the host says we�ve got a great show. I think it may have been a bit too much with Steve Buscemi getting all crazy, but that is how he talks so it was okay.

Hard Times: Prison Sketches� let the anal rape jokes fly. I only find it funny outside of a prison setting. It�s too predictable in a prison sketch. But the premises for this was okay, Ewan basically is THE MAN* in the slammer. So yeah... the ending was okay, not as powerful as your others. But it was still a solid sketch.

What�s Eating You?: I really want to do an old style hygiene type sketch. MADtv did a lot of those and they were okay at first. Not a fan of cannibalism, and it did get a little gory but I think you really managed to pull off a decent sketch Jim. Loved the communism comparison and the standard high school setting used in all hygiene films.

Let it Out: Loved the whole premises of this sketch. I always wanted to do a funeral sketch that was in good taste. The concept was great... because it�s so crazy when seeing all the emotions run wild at funerals. Once again Jason... your endings are killer, Stanley questioning the number of relatives. I must commend you on a job well done, good sketch!

WU: I won�t do a joke by joke this time. But I think this was one of our better updates. We had 5 writers so it was pretty diverse group. The Yahoo serious bit was clever, though I didn�t like hearing about getting fucked by a kangaroo. The Island Review was short but it was worth a laugh. Joke-wise loved the BTK Killer joke and the Iraqi Constitution joke

Chit Chat: Perfect sketch� and more subtle than my bathroom sketch. I think I went overboard with the vomit. But I found everything well times, and the ending was hilarious with his mother walking into the bathroom like that. I just love when 2 random people come together and hilarity strikes. Good start and finish. I just hope this wasn�t based on any real experiences with crab cakes.

Before I end I just want to thank Mark and Jason for letting me co-write their sketches. These were two awesome ideas and I was happy to help. So that concludes this review.

*I�m all for subliminal movie plugs, but THE MAN doesn�t deserve to be plugged. Eugene Levy, you failed me! You�re better off just doing that Levitra commercial, and appearing on the OC.
