No question about it -- this Funny or Die Obama video is at least five times funnier than last night's riff on SNL. (Thanks to heybub1 for the tip.)

Obama Reads Bush's Letter - watch more funny videos

SNL needs to quit airing. The show stopped being funny about 2 decades ago.

I think they just need better writers.
and..comedy is so weird now.
It's not a performer's venue anymore.
funny isn't funny now.
It's funnier to be laughing at something that's not funny and actual funny isn't funny so much anymore unless you are really trying to be funny.
and that's the weird thing about snl now.
it's in New York and all those comics are about what's not funny. the more painful and unfunny the more funny.
look at laser cats.
that's horrible.
it's funny if it wasn't done by snl.
I'm sure most of you would watch it if it was on youtube, but not SNL.

I thought a few of the bits last night were very funny: the edible diaper bit with Wiig and Bernie Madoff trying to invite people to his super bowl party. The Obama bit just made me feel sorry for Obama: no one should have to deal with cleaning up the enormous mess that he has to deal with. Bush was lucky to have left office when he did (Calvin Coolidge probably heaved a similar huge sigh of relief when he left office at the beginning of the Great Depression).

DeafBrownTrashPunk you are the one millionth person to make such a statement on HE. You should get a watch or something. Actually, I think it's been a lot funnier since Tina Fey left as the head writer. And now that Amy Poehler left, I can watch a whole episode without puking.

really?
It felt like an eternity halfway through the show.
When the digital short came on, I was praying for the show to be over.

What is this "author profile page" business? I never used to see it, and now it's everywhere. I feel like a Luddite for asking, but what the hell does it mean? If you want to quote someone, why not just copy and paste their comment with quotation marks? GODDAM IT, SOMEBODY TELL ME WHYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!

That's an improvement over the Fey years. Under Fey, last night you would've had three skits making fun of parody proof reality shows and a Lindsay Lohan skit and Poehler doing one of her piss-poor "characters". With Fey at the helm, it was like reading US magazine without the laughs.

After being energized and inspired by the
political races, SNL has fallen back to its old
massively unfunny self.....

Big problem.....they have no critical persectiive
on Kristen Wiig's schtick. They haven't figured
out yet that just because she can do weird faces and strange voices...that doesn't automatically make her funny. So they stand back and let her pound her goofy characters into the ground, much the same way that Billy Crystal would repeat one of his not-so-funny catch-phrases 25 times in a single skit.
And the skits have gone back to the same bad
blueprint they're been using for years....take one
unfunny premise and strangle it to death by sheer repitition.
Once again, you'll notice that the only big audience laughs they're getting come from
Kenan Thompson's silent reaction shots.....which
doesn't say too much about the writing staff.

Try copying and pasting you will, author profile page, you'll see. Brought to you by Yoda, this comment was.

As someone who has actually liked SNL of late (the Neil Patrick Harris and Rosario Dawson episodes were great, and John Malkovich was funny even if the material wasn't), I thought both of those sketches were pretty weak. Just my thoughts.
