SNL aired a sequel to the sketch on Dec. 19, 2009.

SNL slams the iPhone

Is Apple’s reality distortion field starting to wear off for the iPhone?
Apple’s popular smart phone has been hammered for its poor 3G wireless coverage in commercials by Verizon attacking AT&T. Those ads certainly have tarnished the iPhone’s image. Here’s a sample ad, where the iPhone is relegated to the Island of Misfit Toys from “Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer.”
On Dec. 19, “Saturday Night Live” took a swing at the iPhone in its Weekend Update segment. Check it out up top.

Patrick Swayze - Chippendale
Uploaded by tressage. -

In memory of Patrick Swayze, here's a classic sketch from "Saturday Night Live" in which he auditions with Chris Farley to be a Chippendales dancer. Unfortunately it's a shortened version of the original sketch, which was hysterical.

MacGruber the movie coming soon

The big news out of Hollywood this week was the announcement of a movie based on the recurring MacGruber sketches on "Saturday Night Live," which are a parody of the 1985-92 action-adventure show "MacGyver." (OK, maybe "big news" is a stretch.) The MacGruber skits, starring Will Forte as MacGruber, have been running on SNL since 2006.
The Hollywood Reporter wrote about possible casting news today.
Here are some MacGruber sketches from SNL.

Julie the Operator Lady

Saturday Night Live: Surprise Party

SNL cast member Kristin Wiig can be either really annoying or freaking hilarious depending on the sketch she's in. Here is one of her best characters, Sue, a woman who gets overly excited about surprises.

Suggested rating: G



And here's a follow-up sketch featuring the same character.

Saturday Night Live: Wii Guys

Nintendo's Wii video game console has been a phenomenal success. And it's become part of our pop culture as well. The game device, with its motion-sensing controllers, was mocked in this "Saturday Night Live" sketch with host Alec Baldwin. Warning: the humor is pretty adolescent.
I thought Baldwin's sketch for "First Coughs" was funnier, but Hulu didn't post that one. (In that sketch, Baldwin was selling a series of acting lessons on video. They included one on "first coughs," the movie cliche where a character's first cough signals their coming death.)
Originally aired Feb. 14, 2009.
Suggested rating: PG-13

Saturday Night Live: Taco Town

A "Saturday Night Live" commercial for a restaurant called Taco Town. "Could tacos get any more kick-butt than this?"
Originally aired October 2005.
