SNL: Just The Funny Parts: Anne Hathaway Kills

thumbnail: SNL: Just The Funny Parts: Anne Hathaway Kills

Whoa, leave it to a pro like Annie Hathaway to host the best episode of SNL since her Get Smart co-star Steve Carell showed us how it was done in last spring's season finale. Looking around the internet, everyone's all "Tina Fey as Sarah Palin at the debate!" and "Mark Wahlberg talks to animals!", both funny sketches. But my favorite sketch from this episode isn't even on the internet (well, it is now.) The top five after the jump.

The Vintage Alec Baldwin SNL Commercial Parody We Need Right Now

I was just messing around on the NBC site and noticed that the SNL people just put up this classic commercial parody for "Reliable Investments" starring Our Dear Alec Baldwin. The reason they put it up last night in particular is, uh, obvious and kind of comforting. Alec will always be there for us!:

Someone at SNL is figuring out how the internet works! Good job, that person.

SNL: Just The Funny Parts: Sarah Palin Wants To Phone A Friend

thumbnail: SNL: Just The Funny Parts: Sarah Palin Wants To Phone A Friend

Eek, another weak Saturday Night Live propped into respectability by Tina Fey as Sarah Palin. Anna Faris didn't "suck", per se, she just wasn't in any good sketches. Here were the two funny parts, plus a fun CNN clip analyzing this week's Palin-smashing. I'm still patiently awaiting the next T-Mobile commercial parody. Get on it, Sudeikis!

If Pretty Woman Happened In Real Life

Pretty Woman is one of those movies where, if you see that it's on on a Saturday afternoon, even if it's on the USA Network, you just have to watch it. Okay, I have to anyway (other movies like this include Top Gun, Ghost, and the Clooney Ocean's 11.) This happened last weekend, and I thought the same thing we all think when we see that movie now: that it is completely and utterly ridiculous, even by romantic comedy standards. So I was reminded of this great clip from the late, lamented Chappelle's Show that shows what would happen if just one of Pretty Woman's ridiculous scenes happened in real life:

They could have done that with the entire movie, starting with the part where Vivian doesn't do drugs.

T-Mobile's New Commercial Is Just Begging For An SNL Parody

thumbnail: T-Mobile's New Commercial Is Just Begging For An SNL Parody

Check it out gang, I know what's going to be on SNL this weekend ahead of time! Remember during the premiere they had a funny parody of that T-Mobile commercial with Jason Sudeikis playing the dad who called his daughter's friends hot (the video is #2 here)? Well there's another messed up T-Mobile commercial, and you've probably seen it because it's literally playing all the time instead of anything else on TV this week:

SNL: Just The Funny Parts Part: Cat And Chicken

Well, it seems that even the overwhelming comedic power of James Franco (and inexplicable cameo-guest Cameron Diaz) wasn't strong enough to make this week's SNL funny. From the Al Franken-assisted oddly dogmatic McCain ad cold open to the weird digital short, this week's show was just a total wash, thwarting my efforts to post "just the funny parts" each Monday morning. So today there's just one short clip, from Weekend Update. Presenting the only part of this week's SNL worth watching on a website instead of doing work: Amy Poehler's cat and chicken joke, and Amy Poehler's Facebook joke:

So true! It reminds me of calling bullshit on a goat and buffalo friendship last month. (And if you still want to see the sketches NBC deemed clip-worthy, they're after the jump.)

The First James Franco SNL Promo Just Came In Over The Wires

And it's an SNL promo, what do you expect? Have those ever been funny or needed to be? This time he's outside with Bill Hader and there's a volcano for some reason. But Jamesssss Frannnnco you guys:

Did you know that James Franco is currently attending Columbia University, where he's getting a Masters in creative writing? To paraphrase a classic Mr. Show sketch: "Well, it should be a very good episode of Saturday Night Live, then."
