S50.E07: Charli xcx

[Pete Martell]

I meant to post this a few days ago, but as soon as I saw the set and who Marcello was playing in the acting class sketch, I thought of this Phil Hartman sketch (he did it both times he hosted). I am not saying he ripped off Phil Hartman, as the idea wasn't new then either. Still, it reminded me how much I miss Phil.

I  hadn't seen that before. So good. "This isn't Scent of a Woman. You're not blind."

I'm starting to feel bad for Jane Wickline. She appears in almost nothing, and when she does, she's so stiff and unconvincing. 

She strikes me as that kid who wants to be part of what's going and the other kids don't dislike her, but when they try to let her join in the fun she just brings the whole thing down.

I can't see her lasting more than one season.  She looks petrified almost every time she's out there, which is weird for a comedian.  If you hate being on camera then wow, did you choose the wrong career.

Another CFT:

I am not sure why this was uploaded. Bowen being in Wicked and the show wanting promo, an apology to Mikey fans for him being shut out, the last cut sketch [Cayden] getting over a million views, the show being on break, wanting Charli's fans to come to their page...? Either way, I am always glad to see more cut sketches, and I would have put this in the episode over a few other pieces, even though it's nothing special. It's a bit more lively than the original with Issa Rae, due to Charli having an actual part. She seems to be enjoying herself. Maybe her most fun performance of the night. Bowen is OK too. Mikey and Chloe...eh.

Chloe's French accent is better than Kate's was in the original, but the dynamic between Kate and Bowen was better I think. Charli was fine but I think I actually preferred Issa Rae because Drake Watch was so absurd and she sold it to me. Also I was distracted thinking that Charli sounded more European. 

I am still thinking about the Lonely Island snitching song. It doesn't all work for me but Andy's joy and Charli's malice are delightful. And the cake bit makes me laugh even though I wish that the joke could have been made in a way that actually reflects the correct meaning of having one's cake and eating it too.

Oddly invested in how they continue this Domingo saga. Maybe next time it's the twins' birthday party and Domingo hooks up with Matt's mom??

Any other ideas? What other occasions would your friends do a cringe music number?
