Why did Uncle Jesse change his name from "Jesse Cochrane" to "Jess Katsapolis" in the middle of the series? Why were mullets so rampant in the Tanner house? How did a tool like Danny Tanner get so many dates? How come DJ was friends with a dork like Kimmy Gibbler? So many questions left unanswered from "Full House"...they're asking for a sequel.

"What's in a Name?"

Empire State building "joke" is laaaaaaaaaaaaamarino. So is the "penis me up Scotty joke." Are you asking for groans? Uh, what's up with the "trip" to Ottawa? I don't get this premise at all. Is everyone on the show an idiot? I honestly can't tell if you're intentionally writing lame jokes to make them seem lame, or if you are just writing lame jokes. This was just a terribly unfunny, weird, bizarre sketch that probably belongs somewhere, but certainly not a site which purports to feature comedic sketches.

"Rumsfeld Holds a Press Conference"

Brokaw's commentary before the press conference doesn't seem to make any sense. It doesn't have any connection to why Rumsfeld would have a press conference. And its not very funny, so I'd say scrap it. This seems like a cold opening, and perhaps it was intentionally meant to be one. If Rumsfeld makes the rules, why does he capitulate and decide to answer questions? That was an awkward transition. I do like that he calls the reporters "fools." I like that he calls the man "missy." This was way too short. And besides, we've seen the "Rumsfeld is a mean guy and hates the press" angle before, so this was particularly creative. It had its funny moments, but I think you need a different, fresh new take on it.

"Double Trouble"

Ugh, Van Helsing was awful...awful, awful, awful. Good use of the hosts. "Nermal sauce" is a pretty obscure reference. Just too short, underdeveloped...I think we've seen the "twins switched to surprise everyone else" thing done before countless times on sitcomes "Brady Bunch" comes to mind...so this is not new ground. Very underdeveloped and the jokes need to be punched in.

"The Jay-C Show"

Who is "Greasy Guy from Pedophile Weekly" - is there really such a guy?

"What�s the best thing about 28 year olds? (Skips a beat) There are 20 of them!" - I don't get it"What�s worse than having sex with an 8-year-old girl? (Skips a beat) Flippin� her over and pretending she�s an 8-year-old boy!" - 1. I don't get it (why would you flip her over if its worse?) and 2. no way any audience laughs at that

Okay, I'm not reading the rest of it...I'm not conservative Christian, but its obvious this is too immature, and filled with meaningless sex drivel...and worst of all, its not funny. I can't see any strip clubs running this kind of material, much less SNL. If you really want to write comedy, learn that it takes more than alluding to cum and erections to make people laugh.

I rank the sketches accordingly:

1. "Time After Time"
2. "Weekend Update"
3. Monologue
4. "Team Morale"
5. "Smiles and Frowns"
6. "Donald Rumsfeld's Press Conference"
7. "Double Trouble"
8. "What's in a Name"
9. "Out of the Frying Pan Into the Fire"
10."Spike TV's the Jay C Show"

I'd recommend for some of you to clean it up a bit. Crude for the sake of being crude ain't nearly as funny once you hit your 21st birthday. There's a right way to do crude humor (see the Farrelly brothers) and a wrong way. Choose...wisely.
