Wow, my first review. So as not to make a total ass of myself, I will try to be as vague as possible so as not to deeply worship or offend any sketch. Plus, I'm not a great reviewer. But the idiot will give it a shot.

And The Oscar Goes To...: Great cold opening. I loved how the whole skit was mostly stand-up/monologue-type stuff with David Spade, and that we could see castmembers' impressions instead of hearing them.

Monologue: I thought it would be nice to see the Chris Farley ghost until I thought how good Horatio Sanz would do as him. The monologue really didn't seem to go anywhere, but I was sure the dialogue would have happened like that.

Unstar: Excellent commercial parody. I especially enjoyed there not being any castmembers in the skit, giving it more credibility as a commercial that SNL does often. If only there was something like this in real life; the possibilities for ME!!!!

David Spade-The First Man To Give Birth: Incredibly corny but hilarious. I can picture something like this becoming a sitcom.

Zynor: Seen it done many times, but applauded at the effort of naming so many side effects and symptoms.

Weekend Update (will do later with actual ratings of 1-5 for each segment)

Be Cool-Just Say No: Who would of thought Rob Riggle would play Robert De Niro twice? Loved seeing the No guy try to threaten De Niro and Pesci to not go to California and beat up Travolta and company. Only bad thing was too short.

Shower? I Hardly Know Her: Impressive sketch. Love the lengthening of struggle as Spade's character couldn't get into the shower without ending up in annoying banter. Favorite sketch of the night.

Bad Planet: I think this is one of the most well-written sketches I have read so far on this site. The amplification of different words and unabridged dialogue helped it look more and more like an SNL skit. I didn't seem to get the plot at first until the reverend mentioned her religious theory. Then, I realized that it was an opinion piece with a pretty funny ending.

It's Called PMS: Another well-written sketch; this with a boyfriend aggravating his girl with talk of PMS. The ending sort of ruined it for me because it was going so well. The final punchline, if you will, of someone shooting another person has been done so many times, it just gets to me.

A Trip To Blockbuster: Strange sketch with recurring character (I think) just talking about movies like Be Cool and Napoleon Dynamite with late-night video clerk. Moose blood?

Anyway, not much of a review I guess. Also, I apologize if I was mistaken with anything like plot, or jokes, or characters because I watch TV and listen to music while reading them. Right now, instead of rating them, I will list them from BESTEST TO DON'T WANT TO SAY WORSTEST. And by listing the last sketch does not necessarily mean it was terrible. Don't get me wrong, people!
