I saw part of this episode. I came in having no opinion of the actress, since I haven't seen 50 shades and have no intention of doing so. I liked it for the most part, a part from the skit with the broken arms.

 

I felt so bad for that "character". Someone being Bullied is NOT funny!  . The skit started out okay with slightly mean people being dumb, to a horrible gang up bullying scene. Now I know that I am overly sensitive to this but my boyfriend was also offended by this. We both agreed to turn off the show at that point. That skit ruined what was a funny episode that far!

Seriously

 

Who is watching the ISIS skit, and thinking... "This show supports ISIS recruitting teenagers"?

 

Well, I mean, let's just say if you made a Venn diagram of people who thought the sketch endorsed teenagers joining ISIS and people who unironically watch Fox News, you'd get some pretty significant overlap.

 

The drill Bobby used in that deleted sketch is going to haunt me for at least a week.

Still can't believe how shit Weekend Update is now. Even the Ruth Bader Ginsburg bit wasn't great! 

This show goes as Weekend Update goes, I think.  With a strong cast they might have had single seasons with a bad Update host, but that person inevitably got replaced by the next season.

 

The key is that even aside from good delivery, the Update person writes most of their own material.  So you can't harp on them being cheated by the writers or anything like that, since they ARE the writers.  if they can't deliver jokes, they might drag down the desk a bit but might still be able to do skits.  If they can't WRITE jokes, they deserve to be off the desk, and maybe off all of SNL, period.
