Hambone H SNL isn’t even funny it needs to end at least mad TV pushed boundaries Rated 0.5/5 Stars •  Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 03/31/25 Full Review Birithivy Y SNL50: Beyond Saturday Night - 8.5/10. SNL continues to put out so much material for people to watch in celebration of its 50th anniversary. Beyond Saturday Night is a fun and actually hilarious look at how some of the greatest cast members got casted, how things work behind the scenes, and how the magic of the show is created. Its really cool to see what got the show going behind the scenes, and how the show evolved and was conceptualized with each person that joined. Whether you love SNL or not, you have to understand and take in that this show is an establishment and entity of comedic gold. Its a place which has created many of the comedy stars of past, present, and near future. So, if you’re a fan or if you just love comedy, this is a fun and cool watch to get even more of a sense of how SNL has become a touchstone of comedy! Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 03/16/25 Full Review Phillip D Fantastic. Makes me proud to be a fan. Very well done & most importantly… funny. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/24/25 Full Review Joseph C For the love of Pete! Is there no one else who instantly thought of the lead singer for Iron Maiden? Upon first watching the skit back in the day, I heard the name Bruce Dickinson, and immediately thought is the lead singer for Iron Maiden going to walk outta that control room for a cameo? They have a whole episode devoted to the skit. They even have an extended discussion about how they arrived at the name of Bruce Dickinson. It seems frankly improbable that with the breadth and depth of all the people that have worked on SNL, with their immersion in all things pop culture, that no one had a least a causal knowledge of heavy metal? I know it is far from a lauded genre, but no one else? (Fine . . . Snap off the “Okay Boomer.” I got it coming. ) Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/14/25 Full Review Curtis L If you're a fan of SNL you'll really enjoy this. The Cowbell episode was probably the funniest but the whole thing is worth a watch. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/12/25 Full Review Harrison B This is SO niche and nerdy but for sketch comedy writers it should be required viewing. One of the biggest disappointments of my life is I never became a sketch writer on SNL. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/31/25 Full Review Read all reviews
