Saturday Night Live
From Uncyclopedia, the content-free encyclopedia.
“Well what else am I supposed to watch when I'm flogging my dong...at midnight on SATURDAY NIIIIIGHT!!!!!!?”
Saturday Night Live, or "SNL" (Still No Laughs) is a washed up comedy show created by Lauren Michaels that is remembered for its mediocre comedy. The show is based on lies since the majority of the show airs on Sunday morning. Today it is nothing but a rusty old trophy of a show that NBC has yet to retire. In fact, if it weren't for the guest celebrities and lip syncing recording artists, then the show would almost certainly be canceled. In more of a fact, if it weren't for the quality nose candy that SNL provides, the guest celebrities and recording artists would cancel their appearances on this show.
It's common knowledge the the lukewarm comedic world ended when John Belushi died; therefore, SNL has no hope. How about a legion of dubya impersonators? Michael Richards saying the N word? Well I guess if you really wanted to watch something funny you would change the channel to Comedy Central instead of watching the only late show on Saturday nights, a wishy washy whitewashed funny station which gets more laughs as an NBCnews corporation than as a comedic wannabe. I mean, seriously, how fucking drunk do you have to be to laugh at this 9th grade Theater 101 stupidity? I'd say "rolling around on the floor drunk is of no use whatsoever. I know, I tried. Seriously, man, passing out is more fun than watching this excuse for a comedy.

[edit] Content
Before the election of Obama the show mainly consisted of unfunny sketches of George Dubya Bush impersonators and Senator Palin rapping. Now in a post-bush world the show has once again ran out of ideas for sketches. But nonetheless SNL has plenty of original sketches like the Comedic News team right? Oh yeah I just remembered if I wanted a comedic news I would watch the Colbert Report or John Stewart. The Sean Connery/Celebrity Jeopardy days have ended, and now there's shit. But the George Bush thing that original right? RIGHT? No! The joke is on you now! They lied! But it's still running because celebrities like fucking and pretending they're funny. And we just oblige.
[edit] Premiere and Run
The show debuted Monday October 39th 1975 from Michaels' imperial palace (known only as 30 Rockefeller Center) and became a success from the beginning, mainly due to the infighting that created sketches (such as Chevy Chase's blatant Anti-Semitism, Garrett Morris freebasing accident that led to him being severely burned, and Laraine Newman's brief stint as King Henry VIII of England). The Brothers Gibb, a barbershop singing trio, made numerous appearances, launching their career.
Beginning with the second episode, fans began complaining that Saturday Night Live wasn't as funnay as it used to be. This was the beginning of a slow decline (marked, unfortunately, by Chevy Chase's suicide in 1976 after leaving the show, probably on the realization that he wasn't really that funny), due primarily to Michaels' paranoia (and an affair with Carrot Top, which led to a considerable loss of talent on his part).
To counter this, Michaels started to book more obscure celebrities in an attempt to have more free will to make fun of them. This led to Buck Henry holding the record for most times hosting at thirty-seven (though only two were put in records as actually "funny"). He also convinced the cast to start joining him in drug binges. However, this backfired as Akroyd and Belushi (after a good LSD trip) saw the light and (with the help of "Snake" Pliskin) escaped from New York and moved to Hollywood, where they made The Blues Brothers (considered to be a major religion now).
[edit] End
In May 1980, as the show finished its fifth season, the drug use by the cast made it open to attack at any time. It was at this point that Harry Shearer led a coup d'etat on the island of Manhattan, helped by other, even less funny comics such as Gilbert Gottfried, Charlie Rocket, and Joe Piscopo. The coup was successful as all the cast was killed by the guillotine. However, the "new cast," as they called themselves, were revealed to not be funny after putting on an episode at the end of the season. The group committed mass suicide in June 1980, and the show was disbanded. Inexplicably, knitting needles had been run through the eye(s) of all cast and crew. The NBC peacock developed alopecia and lost its feathers and Oscar Wilde lost his virginity that very night.
Today, the remains of Michaels' palace lay in ruin on Manhattan, and much memory of the show is forgotten by today's generation. Saturday Night Live did have a spin-off called Saturday Night Dead, though. It debuted in 1980 after Saturday Night Live ended, and is supposedly still on TV, but no one really knows because no one has ever actually watched it, possibly because it isn't funny... Except for Blizzardman-- thats funny.
In a parallel universe SNL's counterpart, Friday Night Live, is currently in its twentieth season.
