I would think that the more recent reruns are even worse than that as far as making things look bad since you have sharper writing, and then edit out the weakest bits so you have a better show doing riffs on a lot of the same material with a lot of the same cast members so it's a direct comparison and you can't just say that the cast was better or it was easier to be funny before recent events or whatever else a viewer might think. 6 hours ago, JakeyJokes said: Usually there's a rhyme or reason with the choosing of the vintage episodes, no?

It's not like it's so long ago to be excessively dated or that they don't have a lot to choose from.

cleo May 2, 2018 Share May 2, 2018 I've been watching some eps from around 2003-ish as I missed most of 2000-2010 or so. They're pretty awful. Jimmy Fallon's recurring skit in the dorm room with Horatio Sanz is terrible. Fred Armisen is even worse. I remember reading people complain about him and I didn't get it. I do now. The drummer with the 'adios mio!' tagline or whatever it is, and the aging drummer in the las vegas skits where he hits the drums on the wrong note are just terrible. I can't bear watching the 'adios mio' one. Nails on a chalkboard. It does remind me a little of Kyle(?)s routine with the bad comic, but Kyle's is not so excruciating. On the other hand, Tina and Amy are always pretty good, and I don;t mind Maya Rudolph. Will Forte also has moments I like. Also Chris Parnell will always be Dr. Spaceman to me.
