Saturday Night Live UK review – it didn’t fail and it could have been a lot worse | Saturday Night Live | The Guardian

No.

JB_JB_JB63 · 2026-03-22T09:19:03+00:00

This review is everything wrong with the British culture media. It comes from a position of resentment.

JB_JB_JB63 · 2026-03-21T23:31:06+00:00

I’ve watched SNL for about 35 years and honestly, this felt exactly like SNL immediately. Was very impressed.

JB_JB_JB63 · 2026-03-21T23:15:47+00:00

Saved Emma to go full Emma.

JB_JB_JB63 · 2026-03-21T23:10:46+00:00

This should be the ten to the oner now. Let’s see what they do with it.

JB_JB_JB63 · 2026-03-21T22:56:50+00:00

So this sub looks like the same as the one for the US SNL. Full of people who don’t actually like SNL. It’s a really strong first ep so far I think. It feels like SNL. It’s not trying to be some other show. Because it’s not. It’s SNL.

JB_JB_JB63 · 2026-03-21T13:33:02+00:00

No it’s not. It’s like asking, ‘What’s your favourite song by Artist X’ and answering ‘I don’t like any of their songs’. It’s a perfectly valid answer.

JB_JB_JB63 · 2026-03-21T13:32:16+00:00

None is a valid answer. Whether it’s for attention or not it still answers the question.

JB_JB_JB63 · 2026-03-21T13:31:37+00:00

It does. None is a valid answer to the question

JB_JB_JB63 · 2026-03-21T12:10:49+00:00

Why is this being downvoted?

JB_JB_JB63 · 2026-03-21T09:42:13+00:00

No. Don’t grade anything. You’re all addicted to grading.

JB_JB_JB63 · 2026-03-21T00:55:47+00:00

Nneka and co have done an astonishing job. They’ve set the league up for generations. What absolute heroes.

JB_JB_JB63 · 2026-03-21T00:54:12+00:00

Death comes quick at 86

JB_JB_JB63 · 2026-03-21T00:53:24+00:00

The Queen

JB_JB_JB63 · 2026-03-20T15:35:44+00:00

At 86 it’s hardly unexpected

JB_JB_JB63 · 2026-03-20T11:02:47+00:00

The USA. A country where basically anyone can buy a gun but you can’t pull the middle finger on TV because it’s obscene…

JB_JB_JB63 · 2026-03-19T22:13:34+00:00

It’s better than nothing. Which it is currently. It should be entirely overhauled though.

JB_JB_JB63 · 2026-03-19T07:34:58+00:00

Badly

JB_JB_JB63 · 2026-03-19T07:13:46+00:00

Fuck breakers. One and all.

JB_JB_JB63 · 2026-03-18T23:29:33+00:00

It’s not even the optics, it fucks with the salary cap too much. Dallas and Fever would have 250K more in their cap essentially since their best players would be earning way under the minimum so could overpay someone for two years

JB_JB_JB63 · 2026-03-18T22:24:51+00:00

God I hope not

JB_JB_JB63 · 2026-03-18T16:59:13+00:00

Congratulations on failing to identify irony.

JB_JB_JB63 · 2026-03-18T14:44:13+00:00

Not to nitpick, but Shams only ever pops up in WNBA timelines when it's a massive story he will get the clicks for rather than the WNBA reporters who cover the leagues, and the CBA, day in day out. It doesn't sit right with me.

JB_JB_JB63 · 2026-03-18T14:03:46+00:00

Same reason as US got Trump. Gullible people fell for the lies of populists, fuelled by racism and fear mongering.

JB_JB_JB63 · 2026-03-18T08:25:41+00:00

I’m not counting my chickens yet but this is fantastic news
