...Those ain't fo' real.

Well, everyone <i>else</i> was making jokes!

Bush Address: Good! A little short, and the ending could have been a little stronger, but overall very good.

Monologue: I don't get the Nigerian guy either, but I would probably laugh at the randomness anyway. I don't get the "Unless I'm nasty" part. (Apparently, I should.) The idea of Janet coming onstage topless and not realizing it is very funny. So is Horatio's chest being blurred out. It confuses me a little to have Jimmy being starstruck. Jimmy taking off his shirt and causing girls to pass out is hilarious. (Sadly, I would probably be one of them.) I thought this was funnier than a lot of the real SNL monologues.

Baby Food: This is a bit crass for my liking. Also, going from the complaint that the food is too bland to the idea of it being predigested by animals is confusing (until the idea is explained.) On a side note, many wild animals do feed their young pre-chewed and semi-digested food...without it going through the excretory system.

Archie: This isn't bad, although I'll have to second that the "let's put A-A culture in a place it doesn't belong" idea is overused. "We just started on slavery, so you should feel right at home." This line is so offensive it's funny. However, I think the blackface at the end might be edging a little too close to the line...I notice the real SNL tries to be subtle in makeup when they need to make Maya Rudolph look darker than she is. I think the Spokesman at the end is unnecessary.

Life Today: This is entertaining, although I feel like it would be funnier if the target were different (or more specific) than stupid people.

WU: "Silly voters..." Okay, I'm assuming you haven't seen this movie (<i>But I'm A Cheerleader</i>) but the movie did this joke better ("Silly faggots, dicks are for chicks.") Also, the setup doesn't work.

"Fishing for WMDs" and "Tyco Juror" Good.

"Mr. T" Who is this?

"Severed head" Good!

John Kerry + botox = old joke.

"Walking Short" Don't know who Vern Troyer is, but okay anyway.

"Asteroids" Good.

"Eating chocolate" LOL.

Flag: This is great, and timely, since there has been a movement to make a constitutional amendment prohibiting flag desecration, which picked up speed after 9/11. Incorporating the ROTC was an interesting twist.

Gum: The initial concept was promising, but the focus ended up being on the guy hating his wife...I think this is more disturbing than amusing, it went a little too far.

Spike TV: Starts out fine, but after the promo (which was hilarious) it kinda goes downhill.
