i am so glad ashley is definitely in the main cast next season

 

that was something i guess

 

Coworker sketch was great. Song was decent. Karate sketch was okay with a few laughs.

 

oh wow this might actually have been tailor made for jack

 

I had to start a bit late but took notes lol

Fun cold open, I liked the different approach to the political opening for once

I will never stop fucking loving Jack Black lol, great monologue. Nice to see Jonah Hill again even though he had kind of a weird energy

Lunch sketch was maybe slightly long but I laughed a lot

Words to Live By was clever but again maybe a little too long for a pretty one-note premise

Self-Defense Class was a lot of fun, there's such a fun looseness to this episode so far

Husbands sketch ruled lmao

I'm caught up now

 

I feel like she is in like 95% of the skits this season

 

This is certainly a Jack White song lol... but that is not a complaint

 

no it is not

 

The applause break for the "president at the theater" joke was pretty great

 

this snape looks nothing like jack white

 

Great Update, that was probably Kam's best work on the show so far

 

I love how JB has just been wearing his glasses all night

 

300 was pretty weak imo

 

Random thought but I wonder if there are any other episodes where I've seen both the host and musical guest live before or if this is the first one (besides Donald Glover and Childish Gambino)

EDIT: Two John Mulaney episodes lol, the one with Jack White again and the one with the Strokes

 

The Sum 41 shirt lmao

 

it's all i can see

 

better closing sketch than usual, i'd say

 

not everything was a winner but i'm not sure i hated anything tonight if i'm being honest

 

This whole episode felt very loose and fun, which I think Jack's last episode did too. The best hosts are always the ones that bring a different feel to the show just by being there

That being said though there were some lulls for me so I wouldn't say it's one of the best of the season but I did have a lot of fun

 

I read there was a sketch cut from update re: a couple where the wife is always cold and the husband keeps giving her layers of his own.

Then at the final clothing, his shirt, gets taken off to show a tattoo of sca-Jo, without Colin knowing that part.

 

I’m really loving UK’s version of Weekend Update. The most savage joke was “Happy Easter to Jesus, the only murdered Palestinian we’re allowed to talk about.” Brutal but so fucking funny.

 

We talkin’ tech?

 

saw someone tweet that ashley's presence on the show made it feel more like groundlings, is that accurate?

 

Yes. She was a Groundling and is very Groundlings. A lot of the humor there comes from character behavior and the performance, so that lines that aren’t technically jokes or don’t read funny on the page hit like joke lines. UCB is more of the writer side of things where the humor comes from the writer, through a funny premise and lines that are clear written jokes.
