I'm glad somebody else shares the same views I do on Kristen Wiig. She's funny, but gosh I get so tired of awkward humor. A lot of people seem to say she's the best part of the show. I don't agree. I disagree with you on Fred Armisen. I think he's a lot more versatile than you give him credit for.
I agree that he's a versatile performer, and I love some of the things he pulls off. The Thom Yorke impression had me in stitches, and I always love his Prince, but 95% of his screentime comes from:
- A terrible Obama
- Lawrence Welk Show (w/ Kristen Wiig)
- Weekend Update skits as part of a pair who can't sing, a guy who can't tell a joke, and a bunch of other ones that I have blocked from memory (props for David Paterson, always hilarious)
- Manuel Ortiz show or the one where he takes over the women's talk show
- Retired characters like Ferecito or the Native American comedian
- And pretty much any new skit he does
Like, Bill Hader can balance too many game show hosts with an onslaught of things he does incredibly well that are hilarious, but Armisen... it doesn't help that Wiig's at her most obnoxious in some of his worse skits.
