Weekend Update
by Jason Dignard, Jack Farrell, MJR, and Prateek Srivastava

Arbor Day: good joke, but should have ended after "same tree"
Stan: A much better terrible Stan joke might have sold this. Perhaps something referencing Eminem's "Stan"? We need to grimace to laugh.
Zell Miller: Could make a good sketch, makes a weak WU joke though.
Mayor of LA: Alright concept, but the phrasing seems confusing.
Harry Reid: Eh.
Slashdot: Perhaps a tad too graphic.
Yankees: The structure of this joke confuses me. If we're just making fun of the Yankees, then why does The New York Post come into this? Wouldn't it be funnier if you picked something more respectable? The faux adlib doesn't make much sense here either.
William Bell: Awesome.
Star Wars: This reminds me of that Barenaked Ladies song, "It's All Been Done (woo woo woo)"
Slashdot again: Eh.
Amy's response to Slashdot again: Gah. This is the epitome of everything that's wrong with WU right now. Why don't you go add in the giggles and a Jennifer Aniston Barbie doll while you're at it?
Sinatra: Decent obvious sarcasm joke.
Joe Perry: Seems an awful lot of writing for a joke that ultimately doesn't go that far. I'm also fo the opinion that identity confusion gags are often DOA.
Tom Cruise: People, let's stick to the real news and not Seventeen.
Bill Hemmer: I don't know who you are, but your respectability as a CNN journalist just sank like the U.S.S. Maine for commenting on this story at all.
Bobby Brown: It'd be nice if he were arrested and sent to jail so we wouldn't have to hear anything about him.
Seacrest: Seacrest gets a star and this is the best joke we can do?!?
Dr. Phil: So he listed a bunch of songs with love in the title. Why? I dunno. I'd have to see it performed. On paper though, it's nothing.
Cybill: "I'm calling your mother, telling her you're a whore!" heheh, good times on Letterman.
Wilbanks: Funny and well-timed.
Wilbanks follow-up: Not so much.
Blood Donation: Anonymous blood donations? That sounds like a recipe for disaster no matter who is involved. Anyway, the joke strained a bit too hard to find a stereotype to rely on.
Apostrophe: Right, right, geekdom means a decreased likelihood of copulation. Bit fresher than the Star Wars joke, bit still a tad past the sell by date.
Pepper Spray: SNL would so do this, especially with a bad-ass bandana photoshopped onto the baby's head.
Pepper Spray follow-up: Interesting angle, it took a second reading for me to pick up on the joke here. You'd have to test this in dress to know how many would get it.
Burrito: Good joke that would be all in the delivery. I like the use of "In the meantime," as we get enough "in a related story"s to build an ark that would last us 40 days and nights of rain.
Montel: He's still on? OK joke.
Vitamin C: I'm confused. "Effects of unborn babies"? Like, post-abortion troubles, or morning sickness or what?
New Zealand: Smart business move, but you pulled this joke out of the "science experiment" drawer of the fridge.
Ze Germans: Eh. I think you'd be surprised by how ze Germans have been running their country as of late.
Frosted Flakes: Good joke, but I can't help but feel you missed a whopper. It's just this joke intuition I delude myself into thinking I have.
Bangladesh: Kind of a silly punchline. Not bad, but once again I wonder what else could have been done.
Hilton: Whatever.
Cheerleaders: Wasn't there a bit on this on The Daily Show? Not sure if they used the same joke or not, the clip I saw involved one of the correspondents (Helms? Corddry?) pretending as if the school administrator was a prepubescent unaware of the body changes in store for him.
Snails: Good, funny.
Sanz: Completely worthless. And that's a judgement on him as a performer in anything as well.
