1. Well ... it was way better than last week's weirdness, I'll give it that (nt)

2. I'd say just marginally

At least we could understand them this time. At least Pepé Le Pew was a little amusing. I'd almost rather that they brought back Jim Carrey as President Biden. At least those openings had a political message.

3. When you start with a score of like 1/100 ... a score of like 12/100 is really a lot better

4. You're probably right

It's just that I didn't "get" any of these characters at all - except for Pete Davidson's which was tough to distinguish from his recent impersonation of Governor Cuomo.

5. I started to watch last week's episode and shut it off after a few moments.

I'm not sure it's worth seeing this week's either. What happened to funny?

[Rhiannon12866]

6. I agree it hasn't been as funny since they came back last week

But I think Weekend Update has been consistent.
