    @Foster Kamer: It was a quaint slice of life that illuminated the moral ambiguities of the talk show world while asserting an undertone of fertile insouciance? I don't know. If it doesnt' have a talking pig, I don't get it.

    Does anyone here watch SuperNews on Current Tv? They had episode that dealt with clam jamming which is like the female equivalent of cock blocking.

    When I was watching it, I thought this should have been written by SNL. The problem with SNL is that their humor is dated. Like kids today really get Vincent Price implementations.

    @worldgreatestgirl: Exactly. Take that Password skit. I just wiki'ed it - the last version of Password went off the air in 1989. The original went off the air in 1975. Pretty much all of the skits could easily have aired fifteen years ago, with the exception of the musicians and a few of the Al Gore references.

    @Atilla the Bun: Not only is the joke is a repeat. The sketch is repetitive. It follows the same formula : tension, arguing, someone attempts to leave and more arguing. It's like the this sketch is so bad the writers and actors choose not to remember but they writers are so bad they create the same bad sketch.
