B8's Favorite Sketches:
Ryan Gosling: Papyrus
Gal Gadot: First Date
---

a lot of duds this week... like just painfully unfunny, but Kellywise was great

but Kate McKinnon is always great
---

First SNL that I have seen most skits for in many years. Bank Breakers was amazing.
---

Yeah, pretty so-so episode

Kellywise was fantastic

Hotel Check-In and Bank Breakers were both funny, and neither really outstayed their welcome

Baldwin's Trump cold open was fine, although it's pretty predictable at this point

McKinnon as Debette Goldry is always 10/10, although they tried making a real point with her, which kind of fell flat because it's a character you're immediately not supposed to take seriously

Office Halloween Party was the worst sketch so far this season. Was literally any thought put into it at all? It was honestly pretty painful to sit through
---

Man this poll is one-sided

Also, they really have made no effort to capitalize on the featured players aside from Alex Moffat and Mikey Day, which is honestly kind of hurting them since they just lost three big cast members

Melissa Villasenor has been there over a year now and she's still rarely getting more than a line per sketch. I like her but I don't really know if she's gonna last

Heidi Gardner and Chris Redd are getting barely two lines per episode and I don't think I've seen Luke Null do anything
---

I liked the Melania sketch at the end but otherwise this was a pretty weak showing, a few okay ideas but they never nailed the execution. Must have been worn out from doing three weeks in a row, writing was much sharper in the first two episodes.

Why am I still the only vote for Bank Breakers?

Why am I still the only vote for Bank Breakers?

because McKinnon wasn't in that sketch and she's 90% of the reason anyone watches the show
---

Cecily Strong was in like 90% of the sketches yesterday night

Melissa only got like a line that was ignored at the end of Halloween Party and a "hm" or something. Waste of potential here.

Heidi is fine with what she's getting so far, she's been a lot more visible than the other newbies
---

Not a sketch, but the monologue was my favorite part of the episode

These last couple cut for times have been funnier than half of the actual sketches
