Derek Jeter / Bubba Sparxxx, Shakira
December 1, 2001


......Oh where to begin.  This show came in like a lion and left like a lamb.  Other than that; i cant spell to save my first born childs life.  I just hope that it never comes to me spelling for all of humanity in some bizarre alien gameshow. That said ill get to the review.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------
DubYah - Jeff Foxworthy
-----------------------------------------------------------------------

Although this was a good idea i think that the analogies they used were pretty weak and lacked the usual ferrel punch.

B+
----------------------------------------------------------------------Monologue - Foul Ball
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Well to tell ya the truth I wasnt expecting much from jeter, but this caught me off guard.  I loved how fake it looked.  No real reason, but this made me laugh.

A-
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Commercial - Hemroids
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Kinda funny.  Not the best. Some good points were the fact that it actually fooled me at first.  Maybe im not getting enough potassium...

B
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Inglesias Bros - new cd
----------------------------------------------------------------------

NOT FUNNY IN THE LEASED BIT.  At best this deserves a C-, just because it had katan as the scrappy latino.  But, fuck it they get a:

D
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Yankee Wives
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Well this was pretty bad, especially how it went on and on... and on and on and on.  I wanted to be shot with some enfedimines before this was over.  Just to escape from this skit into a wonderful world of light and color.

F
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Misuse - Enya
----------------------------------------------------------------------

I liked it personally.  Made me laugh just cause he was talking about Enya in the begining.  A little predictable, but still worth seeing.

B+
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Puppy Trainer - Dissin your Dog .aka. DAWG
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Oh i love cruelty to animals.  Well actually i dont but i thought this little commercial was very funny.  It was obscure and made up for the lack of and independant film by MY favorite, Adam Mckay.

A
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Taco Hole
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Not the best.  I get sick of stars playing themselves.  Makes me want to blend a jalapeno pepper, 150 proof vodka, and single malt scotch up, drive to their house and throw it in their eyes.  It seriously does.

D- (the singers saved Jeters ass in this skit)
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Dealing with mom and dad
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Well this started out by pissing me off again as jeter played himself.  Then it took a turn for the better when they beat some people with baseball bats.  Katan is good at hitting stuff and looking like a girly idiot at the same time.  No offense to him or course, its just good acting.

B+
----------------------------------------------------------------------
SHAKIRA
----------------------------------------------------------------------

I FOR ONE AM GOING TO GIVE A GRADE FOR MUSICAL GUESTS.  THIS WAS A VERY GOOD PREFORMANCE IN MY MIND.  HUGE BAND, ALRIGHT SONG.  IT LOOKED LIKE IT TOOK TIME TO SET UP.  HATS OFF TO YOU.

Oh yeah, those were the tightest pants ever....what the hell?

B+
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Weekend Update - "you suck!" (and it did)
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Jeter you son-of-a-bitch!  Stop playing yourself! its not funny anymore.  The whole "you suck" thing was boring and made me take a bathroom break here.  Tina and Jimmy were pretty good.  I wish Tina would be in some other things besides Weekend Update.  Its sucking the life force out of her.

C+
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Osama Pep Talk - 25 million
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Repetitive, got boring quick.  I did like the harry potter thing at the end.  No idea why.  Guess i was expecting this to get even worse, but it was over fairly quickly.  Not THAT bad.

C+
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Perm - REO Speedwagon
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Well thank god Mr. Jeter wasnt playing himself in this one.  Not all that great.  I couldnt force myself to give a damn about his hair.  I thought the comments about REO speedwagon were good.  Some Ferrel stuff was funny

D
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Bubu Sparks
----------------------------------------------------------------------

I AM REFUSING TO SPELL HIS NAME RIGHT FOR ONE FACT.  THIS SUCKED.  IT WASNT EVEN A REAL SONG.  IF YOU CONSIDERED BUYING HIS CD AFTER SEEING THIS, PLEASE DONT.  WE DONT NEED MORE INBREAD HICKS SHOWING IT OFF.
THIS IS ONE OF THE WORST STINGS EVER TO COME FROM SNL.  I WOULD RATHER SEE SHAKIRA PLAY THE EXACT SAME SONG THAN SEE THIS PIECE OF GARBAGE.

-F (not F-.  This was so bad that it went all the way down the alphabet and then started over in negetive numbers)
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Holliday Song
----------------------------------------------------------------------

I liked it the first time, i liked it the second time, but its going on a little too long.  Still better than "bubu sparks" by a lot.  I still like traceys dance in this.  Made me feel alive again.

B
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Jack handy
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Well i didnt exactly get this one, but i loveJack Handy segments no matter what.  Hes great in my mind and im not going to badmouth this "not as brilliant" piece of work.

On a side not: those babies in this little piece scared the hell out of me.  Currently i am sleeping with a night light.

C

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Well thats it folks.  Another episode of SNL gone by.  this weeks overall grade was a

B-

It had its moments. but it also had its shamefull, shamefull sketches that made me projectile vomit upon seeing them.
