![]() The stiffly-animated corny fight scene is very funny. T randomly throwing in out-of-place educational tips throughout this. ![]() T-starring TV Funhouse, in the style of a typical 80s animated series, a style that Smigel is doing a dead-on emulation of. Robert Smigel must be very busy, as we’re more than halfway through this season and this is only the fourth TV Funhouse of the season, which is a small number compared to the amount of TV Funhouses that appeared in the preceding three seasons. T” by RBS- Ibsen play is a chance to work Overall, this has always been my personal favorite of the Boston Teens sketches. Some laughs from Ben’s character and Sully listing off the goofy names of their friends. Denise: “Don’t hurt him! He’s got a haht murmuh!” However, this sketch can be pinpointed as the official point in Jimmy’s SNL tenure where his frequent breaking started becoming noticeable. Now Jimmy has begun cracking up again, this time in response to Ben just saying “Bro” over and over to him, which I can forgive, as I’ve been enjoying Jimmy and Ben’s chemistry throughout this sketch. I love the parts with Rachel and Ben acting out rewinded scenes, especially the slow-mo scene. After exclaiming the word “Irregahdless!” in a Boston accent, Jimmy cracks himself up. I can see it he looks eerily Sandler-esque at some points of this sketch. I remember an old SNL review from 2000 pointing out that Ben seemed to be trying to emulate Adam Sandler in this sketch, right down to the Happy Gilmore-esque jersey he’s wearing. ![]() Overall, one of the better Mango sketches, mostly helped by Ben’s performance, even if his demeanor came off a little more smiley and jokey than his role required.ĭonnie Bartolotti’s (host) attentions toward Denise make Sully jealous The stripping scene in the dark is pretty funny, as is Ben losing control and assaulting Mango on the floor. Ripley turn, with Ben trying to pass himself off as Matt Damon. At least this season managed to go through a month (January) without resorting to a Mango sketch, which is a big feat considering how much they’ve been overusing Mango this season. Host pretends to be Matt Damon in order to get close to Mango Good bit with the deep-voiced talking butt (or was that a crotch?) trying to interrupt, only to get cut off by the talking boobs. A silly but funny parody of real Victoria’s Secret ads from around this time. And like Gwyneth’s last monologue, both her and Ben are proving themselves to be good sports. A lot of fun barbs between Ben and Gwyneth, especially the whole bit about winning an Oscar. A nice callback to Gwyneth Paltrow’s monologue from the preceding season, in which Ben Affleck made a cameo from the audience. Gwyneth Paltrow comes on-stage & steals spotlight from host A pretty good laugh from the off-camera Nightline producer’s voice being represented by the “womp womp womp” voice that the adults in Peanuts always speak in, even if SNL already used that joke in the last Charlie Brown sketch. I love Rachel-as-Marcie’s scream while raising her head, after saying Peppermint Patty didn’t reciprocate Marcie’s feelings towards her. No one wanted to take the time to do the shading.” Franklin: “Back then, it was hard for a brother to get in the funnies. I love the visual of Horatio’s Pig Pen. Good to see another sketch with the cast playing Peanuts characters, after the classic Charlie Brown parody SNL did in the preceding season. Feels like we haven’t seen Darrell’s Ted Koppel impression in a long time. Peanuts characters mourn the passing of Charles Schulz Segments are rated on a scale of 1-5 stars
