    Originally, I hated The Rock for ruining "Escape To Witch Mountain", which I have some very fond memories of. Why a childrens' movie would have the word "pimp" in it ("Don't go in the pimped out fridge") just shows how terrible childrens' movies are nowadays. (Cf. "Coraline", the first childrens' movie in years to not have a single poop/fart joke.)


    But The Rock's opening monologue/dance number got me to watch and every sketch was pretty decent.


    Personally, I think The Rock should be a regular cast member - possibly replacing Kristen Wiig.

    By the way, I'd like to point out how much of a fucking sack of shit HULU is for playing the WHOLE AD before telling you that the video isn't available. That's just goddamn underhanded.

    That's a darn good impression for a wrestler.

    I only turned on SNL to see The Rock, never again...the show was horrible and turned it off after this skit. But it did prove my theory, that not only has Obama killed the economy, Obama has killed comedy.

    @BertinaAethalides: Yep, I totally elected my President on the basis of how funny jokes can be made about him.


    Crawl back into the hole you came from.

    Did anyone else see the "Game Time with Greg and Steve" sketch? I seriously can't remember the last time I laughed so hard during SNL.

    Hilarious. The Rock and Samberg were both terrific, but my favorite moment was McCain barely containing his glee as he tells the meek President that, "my friend... you are not up to the task."

    Oh my gosh, it's Dick Cheney reincarnated. SNL can't find a black actor to do the non-scary Obama?! Sheesh.

    @raysanni: Sorry, he has connections to NZ through his Samoan side, so over here he's mostly known as being Pasifika, rather than Black.
