@Rock You Like An Iracane: weekend update suffers a bit for me; I'm going through Amy withdrawls...

@Invisible Circus: Meh. I liked Fleet Foxes as a sort of wintry, slow-paced symphony, and I found myself really digging their voices. This was also probably partly because I just flipped it on to whatever their first song was and watched Weekend Update, so I missed most of the (crappy) episode.

the gitmo bit was funny, this whole new version is priceless but the gitmo part has a HUGE error. There's a very noticable Puerto Rican flag in the background. The colors of the Cuban flag are the reverse of the Puerto Rican flag but still...they're two different countries and flags.

Fleet Foxes bored me to tears.

Oh no, that means that “Whole New World” could get huge at karaoke. As it is, I get people singing that every week.

The dig at Vassar was quite amusing.

@Maura Johnston:

I thought the only part of the episode that was funny was that Gitmo bit. Everything else was really, really unfunny and borderline unwatchable.

I dunno what it is about "A Whole New World," but it seems ripe for parody: back when it was a hit, my sister and I composed our own parody entitled "The Same Old Shit."

("The same old shit/The stuff I've done a thousand times/I'll do it all again/There'll be no end/And when I'm done, there'll be more shit to do.")

Oh, and: word on the Samberg clip, and on the whole episode. What a drag. Actually, the only video I did enjoy was the fake ad for the bank that rejects everybody -- not ha-ha funny but incisive/satirical.
