That’s what they all are

 

From their podcast it sounds like they’ve had a lot of songs for a while but haven’t decided what to do with them, and then him getting back on SNL was an easy way for them to get the music videos produced for free. Which, they’re a group whose songs don’t work half as well unless there’s an accompanying video tbh, and I think they know that too

Though I wonder if this one is brand new for them too, or if it’s an older song that they just had Charli pop on to tie it into this episode

 

Tho this new song has nothing on Sushi Gloy Hole

 

Marcelo is a god damn star. He’s absolutely killing it.

 

Thought Charli was really impressive, acting-wise. Lots of charisma and great Adele.

 

Alec Baldwin’s multiple appearances are absolute season lows. Lorne’s love of him remains baffling.

 

No Mikey Day and only one Kenan sketch last night. Weird!

 

I feel like Mikey wasn’t even there. Was he at the goodbyes?

 

Marcello has taken the step to the next level. The video at the concert was very cute, very funny.

There should be a 3rd DOmingo sketch, and final, when the babies are bordn, and he shows up. But it should end at 3.

Perhaps Mikey fights him, and kills him or something so the Domingo sketch ends for sure. But there has to be a 3rd.

Charli XCX was terrific, open to everything it seemed. She couldnt have done better, IMO.

PDD and TLI sketches were right on money. The cake sketch, used again, and you knew how it would end, was a good one. Nice to see Kyle back for the show.

Wicked AUditions was great - auditions (with Alan Alda, but not this time) are always good

Peanut the squirrel was typical Sara, playing with COlin (and the tail! OMG)

I Thought Shrek sketch was going to be much more sexual, but it was mediocre.

Solid B+ for this one.

 

Charli episode ruled

 

Very fun episode, Charli was truly as good as any other cast member. Would love to see her back on come the next album cycle. The musical performances I could take or leave - they felt improvised kinda? And not really in a good way? The purse thing was really distracting haha

The podcast and acting class sketches were my favorite. Marcello had a great week

 

First thing I’m gonna do is fire that little snake.

 

Yeah he was on stage at the end - I didn’t even realize he wasn’t in the episode til I saw him there

 

Ashley Padilla feels like a natural to me. Something about her evokes the comfort of vintage SNL. Reminds me of like… Ana Gasteyer maybe? I really hope she continues to get at least a moment or two every week

 

I am neutral on Chari's music, but those performances stunk. She was alright in the actual show.

 

Charli missed an opportunity to capitalize on Apple having a viral tiktok moment. also just two weeks after Chappell, Charli's performances felt really lackluster. just looking at how they decorated the stage i felt this huge contrast between Chappell's drag-inspired aesthetic and Charli's minimalism

 

She’s Groundlings, so def has that classic vibe

 

Chappell is a once in a generation performer so it’s tough to compare to anyone

I thought 360 was pretty lackluster, the stage looked cool for a second but didn’t do anything, and the song is pretty low energy for a live performance. Knife was a lot better tho, one of her better vocal performances on the album.

I saw her live on this album cycle and she was great, but it is a set up less focused on the live show compared to Crash especially. It was just her up there, very intimate feeling which tracks with the darker more introspective songs. Hard to translate to a two song performance.

 

Sarah might’ve come through with one of the all time worst impressions with her Rachel Sennott

 

that’s fine her bernie is one of the best

 

It’s true, she does have a great Bernie, and an appropriately horrifying Gaetz

 

Oh my god this will be great lol

 

Yeah, they did two impressions sketches only to realize like three cast members can do them.
