Then I might as well review. :)

Address by Arafat: I think I would have to agree with the guy who said I overcomplicated this. Anyway..it looks fine on paper, but I think some of the jokes might be awkward if one was to see this skit performed.

Monologue: I feel like an awful lot of the cold openings and/or monologues go for this "behind the scenes" this...I think it's better as an occasional thing. That aside...I agree with the people who say that the self-deprecating (in terms of SNL) humor doesn't work. Since we're pretending this is actually SNL, that would be awkward on the show. I think seeing Darrell Hammond come on instead of the real thing would be quite funny. I didn't get the quoting of "Imagine" at the end...otherwise this is okay.

CFI Care: I feel like I'm missing something really obvious here, but I have to say that I don't know what "CFI" is. From what people are saying, it looks like an offensive acronym...Wait! <i>Now</i> I get it! I understood it when I read the part that said "C-F-I Care"...hopefully, if this was being performed, and the audience was slightly more on the ball than I am, this would be really funny. Very clever.

Employee Evaluation: Short and sweet. I don't get the last line, however.

Trump Condoms: Can't say I like this very much. It's a little too blunt to be funny. Bluntness can be funny, but it usually has to be put in perspective by contrasting it with, for example, a person who is very tactful.

Paper Bag: The lines are very funny. Actually, the sketch in general is very funny. I don't quite get the thing with the blindfold, either. It seems a little weird to have a young guy like Seth hanging out at a bar with Donald Trump, who looks pretty old.

Man + Dingo: I actually thought the concept was kinda cute. And SO WEIRD. I really love the creativity. I feel like the ending might be a little awkward, it's a little too nice and happy. But in general, I thought this was funny and clever.

WU: I didn't get the Nader joke...did Nader drop out of the race or something?
Props to whoever came up with the "MAS" joke, the Clinton joke, and the Ashton Kutcher joke.
The accent in the Pope commentary was funny, but a little weird, since I've never heard the pope speak. When they show him on TV, he's always just being an old man and blessing someone. I didn't like the Kerry commentary, a lot of the jokes were just confusing or awkward.

The Marionettes: This is creepy. It's funny, but in a pretty dark way. I guess it just seems uncharacteristic of SNL.

Snakes: This is also a bit creepy, but I can see it being funny in the beginning. The formality of Bob's language is a little odd, and the ending is a bit confusing. I don't quite get the earthworm farm having to be in the buggy thing. It might work better if there was more setup about Bob's life in the beginning, because he and his mother seem quite odd.

Meeting with Bob: Doesn't quite work. Mrs. McDaniels switches from being aware of Bob's disgusting behavior and being oblivious to it, and this is confusing.

Dracula Brand Tampons: EWW....I think if I saw this on TV I would be scarred for life. What you might not know is that the, er, products involved in menstruation aren't entirely blood...anyway, it's just really gross. But kind of amusing, too. (I thought menstruation was supposed to make guys really uncomfortable. Maybe not?)

Road to White House: The idea of John Kerry reciting poetry is rather amusing. However, I didn't think all of the Bush humor worked, and he's not hard to make fun of. Overall, it seemed a bit short, and a little childish for political humor.

Casino: I don't get this...at all. I've never enjoyed watching people gamble, however.
