When you start with a score of like 1/100 ... a score of like 12/100 is really a lot better Hugh_Lebowski Apr 2021 #3

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.

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.

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