Title: SNL- Livelier and more Yo La Tengo
Post by: Gilly on November 17, 2007, 05:50:22 PM

Who's going to the "stage show"? I'll be missing it since I'm not exactly in driving distance. Is it impossible to get tickets?

• WILL PAY $300 FOR SNL TICKETS AT UCB THEATER (http://newyork.craigslist.org/mnh/tix/480008743.html)
• $250 FOR TWO SNL TIX AT UCB/ ALSO $250 FOR 2 30 ROCK TIX (http://newyork.craigslist.org/mnh/tix/479915340.html)
• Looking for SNL UCB Tickets - $200 (http://newyork.craigslist.org/mnh/tix/479699691.html)
• I WILL PAY $50 MORE THAN WHATEVER ANYONE ELSE OFFERS FOR SNL / 30 ROCK - $350 (http://newyork.craigslist.org/mnh/tix/480054560.html)

I'm sure none of these people have been groaning about how lame SNL has been since around [insert years person was a teenager].

Yeah, upon revisiting this show lately, I realized it's totally for teens!  Hadn't realized that before.

Is that sarcasm?

Does video of this exist anywhere online?

Michael Cera is great.  Yo La Tengo is great.  SNL probably works great in this format.  I really wish I was at this.

I'm not sure it works as sarcasm if you have to explain that it's sarcasm, so, uhhhhh, no.

Whatever dude, I loved the "political satire" of Bloom County when I was 12 years old.  When I was actually old enough to understand what they were talking about, I realized it was completely unfunny.  But when you're a teen, anyone saying "Conway Twitty" is instantly hilarious because he's, like, old.
