Don't everybody thank me at once. Here's the Saturday Night Live skit featuring Obama and Jintao.

Have you heard? The Democratic National Committee Services Corporation (DNC Services Corporation or, Corporation) is “considering” revising its Presidential nominating rules. http://politicalticker.blogs.cnn.com/2009/12/05/democrats-consider-new-presidential-nominating-process/ ... “We need to improve a little bit in spite of the fact that we got a great candidate out of the process,” Clyburn said Saturday at a meeting of a DNC working group tasked with drafting a new plan. “It was not very comfortable at various points along the way.” (Emphasis added by jbjd.) Ya think? ... Both the movie “Jaws” and the television show “Saturday Night Live” debuted in 1975. The hysteria – which Merriem-Webster defines...

SC Governor Mark Sanford, Nevada Senator John Ensign and John Edwards talk about how the media is treating them, and their affairs compared to Tiger Woods..(Video from Open)

"Saturday Night Live" is making headlines for featuring a skit over the weekend, which parodied domestic violence. On Saturday night's episode, the NBC sketch comedy show made light of Tiger Woods' scandalous week, satirizing reports - denied by the golfer - that his wife, Elin Nordegren, attacked him prior to his early-morning car accident on November 27 with a sketch featuring Keenan Thomson and host Blake Lively. However, the show's musical guest was Rihanna - a victim of domestic violence earlier this year from then-boyfriend Chris Brown -- prompting concerns from several media outlets that the show's humor was insensitive...

SNL: The Salahi's show up while Obama is giving a press conference, Secret Service and Biden show up and start taking pictures with them..(Video from open)

Here is video from Saturday Night Live last night, where they spoofed the Party-Crasher story. They had Obama speaking in Pennsylvania, where he was followed by the Salahis - the couple who crashed the White House State Dinner. In the spoof, while Obama drones on about the economy, all kinds of things go on behind him, without him noticing - until the very end. . . . (VIDEO)

Saturday Night Live's take on the State Dinner party crashers

NASA Potato Chips — Holy what the f***? This was the most out there skit of SNL I think I’ve seen in years, and that includes the digital shorts. This was so absurd that it must be based on something that I haven’t seen before…? I’ve gotta say, though, I thought it was pretty freakin’ funny in just how weird it was, even if I almost threw up in my own mouth a little at the thought of what happened.

This past weekend, SNL goofed on the 2012 disaster film by mocking up a fake movie trailer to make the film's title be about Sarah Palin running for president with Glenn Beck as vice-president. I can't find a clip online, but it was amusing. Anyway, today Politico writes:

When Saturday Night Live turns on a liberal president, you know he's in trouble. Also - Two of the most deceitful partisans On MSNBC are Keith Olbermann and Chris Matthews. They constantly slime and attack conservatives while putting positive spins on everything and anything liberal politicians do. Along with the SNL skit, this dialogue from Chris Matthews seemed especially significant. Obama is even losing some who have been most committed to him.

CHINESE "LEADER": "I'M NOTICING EACH OF YOUR PLANS TO SAVE MONEY INVOLVES SPENDING EVEN MORE MONEY." For the second time in two months, Saturday Night Live performed a skit mocking President Obama. Last month's SNL skit featured the president's lack of accomplishments. The most recent Obama skit ridiculed specific Obama policies such as "Cash for Clunkers," huge deficit spending, debt owed to the Chinese, and the stimulus plan's lack of tangible results (jobs).

Nov. 23) -- It's always been a good sign for "Saturday Night Live" when people are still talking about the show on Monday morning. That's happening more often now that the venerable comedy program is sharpening its satire of President Barack Obama. This weekend's show opened with a parody of Obama's news conference with China's president that included jabs at the administration's spending on economic stimulus, health care reform, bailouts and Cash for Clunkers. America's $800 billion debt to China was the butt of many jokes. "Remember this moment, folks," Andrew Breitbart's Big Hollywood announced. "One year after Obama's election...

Here is 'liberal' Palin hating SNL video Laying into the disaster Obama. FUNNY!!!

...I dunno, maybe Jon Stewart comes next. I don't accept the proposition that liberal comedians who aren't funny are somehow arbiters of popular culture, let alone public policy. Still, the fact that Obama's actual policies (not his failure to be a liberal messiah) were lampooned in this vulgar, sometimes-funny skit on SNL last night does seem significant:

Here is the joint press conference skit with Jintao thinks he is entitled to at least a kiss, a movie and dinner before Obama "does sex to him". This is begging for a CNN fact check. Fred Armisen's impression is not improving much but this opener is still pretty funny:

One of SNL's all time best!!

Saturday Night Live, the comedy show that famously mocked Sarah Palin last year (ala Tina Fey) turned the tables last night on President Obama. Focusing on U.S. relations with China, as well as the absurdity of government spending, they performed a new skit that was both timely and humorous. Humor is of course in the funny-bone of the beholder so I've included the video for you to make that decision for yourself.

"Saturday Night Live" opened its show last night with a comedy sketch that scorched President Obama over his economic policies including health care, "Cash for Clunkers" and borrowing billions of dollars from China. The NBC program featured comic Fred Armisen portraying the commander in chief at a news conference with Chinese President Hu Jintao, played by Will Forte, who spoke through an interpreter, comic Nasim Pedrad. Jintao began by asking Obama about the success of his economic stimulus. "I'm curious. How many jobs has it created?" asked the Chinese leader. "None," answered Obama. "But our health-care reform plan, we're confident,...

Okay, I was planning on doing a special DUFU edition today about my recent trip to the island paradise of Culebra in the Caribbean. However, I will write that up in the near future because I have to SHARE with you one of the most HILARIOUS SNL episodes ever as you can see in this VIDEO.I can't get enough watching it. The skit portrays the press conference with Obama and Chinese President Hu (Hu's on first?). I must have seen it at least a dozen times today and still can't get enough of it. It is falling down laughing...

Video clip of the liberal reaction to Sarah Palin becoming President of the United States in 2012. LOL.

SNL Bashes Obama, Stimulus, Healthcare and Cash for Clunkers By Noel Sheppard Created 2009-11-22 10:38 NBC's "Saturday Night Live" really went after President Obama in its opening sketch Saturday evening. Not only that, his policies involving economic stimulus, healthcare reform, and Cash for Clunkers were also exposed as having absolutely no positive or future impact on unemployment. The setup was Obama, played by Fred Armisen, doing a press conference with Chinese President Hu Jintao, played by Bill Hader. As Jintao, through interpreter played by Nasim Pedrad, realized how much money the United States owes China, he questioned how we were...

Not only timely and topical, but genuinely funny. And unlike the last time they hit him hard, this attack comes from the right. Who knew they had it in ‘em? Actually, spending is only a secondary concern here. The chief target is The One’s disintegrating credibility in selling his statist agenda. Never would I have guessed that the great orator’s inability to explain cost savings in ObamaCare would be the subject of late-night mockery this late in the game. No wonder his numbers are at new lows nationally and in the swing state that propelled him to the presidency.

Very funny mock news conference concerning U.S. debt to China between Obama and Jin Tao. Swallow all liquids before watching.

This weekends SNL poke at Pres. Obama actually had me laughing out loud for the first time in a long time. Basically, Pres. Obama starts off like he would normally until Pres. Hu starts to get upset and calls Obama out for cash for clunkers and the amount of debt China owns. President Hu asks Obama at one point to kiss him. Obama asks why. Hu says because he likes to be kissed when someone's trying to make the sex with him. Here's the clip

The obnoxious Tina Fey, at the "Ad Council Annual Dinner" repeated the only shtick she is known for and showed her gutter-level sense of "humor". Tina Fey: "Mrs. Palin and I continue to have so much in common," - "They recently made a porn movie about Sarah Palin and then this same adult actress, Lisa Ann, played me in a porn parody of '30 Rock' ... And weirdly of the three of us, Lisa Ann knows the most about foreign policy."

Great SNL skit! Watch the video.

"Yes the Mexicans are coming...and they're here to stay."

You know the old saying "while the cat's away, the mice will play." With Obama safely bowing his way through Asia, Sheriff Joe Biden sneaks into the Oval Office and plans to fix all Barack's problems. I saw this Saturday Night Live opener last night and thought there were parts that were very funny. The end tends to fall a bit flat but the Biden commentary on the "stimulus is working," and "we're going to cave like crazy on health care," make this clip worth a watch.

Saturday Night Live took a break from bashing FOX News and doing half-assed Obama impressions. While the voice and face are not perfect the actor does capture a bit of Biden's gaffe-prone personality and let's say slower than average mental skills. The premise is Obama is overseas so Joe Biden breaks into the Oval Office to take care of at least one issue before Obama gets back. Click here to watch the SNL making fun of Biden clip.It makes you think. What in the world would the country do with a President Biden and Vice President Pelosi? Can you just...

Saturday Night Live mocked FOX News and its pundits last night for their coverage of the 2009 elections. They included Glenn Beck, Greta Van Sustern, Juan William, Karl Rove and more. Personally, the lady imitating Greta bothers me. She is making her lips resemble Greta's. The Karl Rove imitator is a bit insulting also. Infact, they all are. Here's the link to the video

The Obama Do Nothing skit Video continues to be true of the Obama presidency. SHAW

Hahahahahahahahahahahaha! Love this sketch! SNL Jane you ignorant sluthttp://www.hulu.com/watch/2306/saturday-night-live-point-counterpoint-lee-marvin-and-michelle-triola

Tina Fey, who only recently confessed before David Letterman's national television audience that she didn't have sex until she was 24, is outing herself again: she admires and respects the woman she imitates, Sarah Palin. And is teetering toward voting for Palin should the former Alaska governor run for president in 2012. "Those who can, do. Those who can't, mock those who can," Fey said.

For the third week in a row Saturday Night Live has opened their 'show' with a skit about Barack Obama. Last weeks show was barely funny if funny at all. This weeks may be worse. Barack Obama gets angry about the health care debate and transforms into The Rock Obama.. played by ex-wrestler & actor The Rock. Barack The Rock is played as an idiot being controlled by his administration. I embedded the Saturday Night Live skit here.

"You've made Barack Obama angry, now he has turned into The Rock Obama"....the angry side of Obama....Barack talks to Olympia Snowe and Biden comes in at the end...

That sketch was the worst in the history of the program, by far. Armisen is so awful and unfunny they've given up on him and brought in a wrestler who hasn't been relevant in ten years. Who's next? Stone Cold? Armisen doesn't even try to imitate Obama beyond some halting speech pattern. He was on the show for 5 yrs and never played a black guy before Obama. You're telling me SNL can't find one black guy out there in the whole country? Moreover, they had the Rock who's perfectly capable of speaking english do some Tonto-esque accent that was...

Big Hollywood’s Alexander Marlow has written a spot-on assessment of “Saturday Night Live’s” skit about Obama. This video clip of Chevy Chase on CNN bolsters Marlow’s claim and reveals the truth behind “SNL’s” political parodies: VIDEO: Chevy Chase Admits SNL is a Left-wing Show To paraphrase Groucho Marx, a child of five could improve on this immensely. Anyone could make these parodies of Obama funnier. Obama’s mannerisms, speech patterns, physical oddities (ears) etc. are ripe for satire. Add Michelle Obama and Joe Biden to the mix and it only gets better. The audience would be rolling in the aisles. Obama...

"Last week I wrote an article on how Glenn Beck “One-upped Obama,” which received many comments praising Obama’s handling of Fox News and Glenn Beck. I used to just go after congress and give Obama the benefit of the doubt, but how can anybody give him a pass now? I cannot believe that people still defend Obama."

October 11, 2009 Another Fine Mess: Comics Whack Obama By MARK LEIBOVICH WASHINGTON — Is President Obama in trouble with his late-night comedy base? It’s likely he hasn’t noticed or doesn’t care. He is, after all, in the midst of his oft-invoked “full plate” of supposedly “defining moments” in his presidency — a “defining” decision on Afghanistan, “defining” legislative battle on health care, among other “defining” things. But there is perhaps another more subtle set of "defining” episodes playing out for Mr. Obama in the televised comedy salons that had previously, by and large, been relatively gentle spaces for him....

Last week's SNL opener was a hopeful start for those of us who believed the crew at SNL would never find anything humorous about the Obama presidency.   This week they were handed a golden  premise on a Nobel Prize platter and fell flat.  Just Karl of Patterico and Green Room fame saw it coming 13 hours before air time.  That alone was funnier than anything in the skit.  After a long look around conservative websites, I have come to the conclusion we know how to spot humor and how to write it.  Here is a top ten list that I...

For the second week in a row Saturday Night Live has gone after President Obama. This time they lampoon him for winning the Nobel Peace Prize. Here's the link to a video of it. http://storyballoon.org/videos/saturday-night-live-makes-fun-of-obamas-nobel-peace-prize-win/

This is the open, SNL pokes fun of Obama winning the Powerball,...it's not quite as hard as last week, but it's definitely a shot at him winning the Nobel Peace Prize...(Video)

See the video below of the Saturday Night Live (SNL) skit mocking President Obama, fresh off the surprising announcement that he'd received the Nobel Peace Prize. The announcement was met by "shock and awe" by both the Right and Left of the political persuasion.

SNL is having some fun with Barack Obama, The One. Tonight it's a spoof about his Nobel Rhetoric Prize. (I wonder if CNN will fact check this one?) Last week, Saturday Night Live spoofed his complete lack of accomplishments. In case you missed that one, here's the video: Video: SNL Spoofs Obama’s Lack of Accomplishments

He won the Nobel because he's not George Bush He's not been George Bush for 9 months He also won the $70M Power Ball .. 1st ticket he ever bought. Important decision to make .. does he take a lump sum or annuity .. meeting with his financial team. Kinda lame .. so far

Her first chapter, in national politics, exploded then fizzled when the former Republican vice presidential candidate unexpectedly retired as governor of Alaska in July. Now, Palin is back, as her memoir, "Going Rogue: An American Life" has been moved up by the Harper imprint of HarperCollins Publishers, according to The Wall Street Journal. (Harper Collins and The Journal, like MarketWatch, are units of News Corp. The book has been moved up to Nov. 17 from next spring. The publishing house said it is distributing 1.5 million copies of Palin's book -- an enormous commitment -- and it will cost $28.99....

"After reviewing hundreds of hours of 'Shark Week' footage and consulting with leading ichthyologists, CBS News can now confirm that the so-called 'Land Shark' made famous on 'Saturday Night Live' is a hoax," Katie Couric assured viewers. Meanwhile, over on MSNBC, the crack news team continued its in-depth exposé on "SNL's" faked assassination of the Little Rascals' Buckwheat. Sleuths working for The New York Times revealed that not only was John Belushi not an Olympic decathlete, but his touted regimen of cigarettes and "little chocolate donuts" was, according to experts in sports medicine, "not even remotely nutritious." Meanwhile, a report...

The most popular headline at the Real Clear Politics Web site the other day was: "Is Obama Becoming A Joke?" With brilliant comedic timing, the very next morning the Norwegians gave him the Nobel Peace Prize. Up next: His stunning victory in this year's Miss World contest. Dec. 12, Johannesburg. You read it here first. For what, exactly, did he win the Nobel? As the president himself put it: "When you look at my record, it's very clear what I have done so far. And that is nothing. Almost one year and nothing to show for it. You don't believe...

Good satire never dies. While months ago comedian Tina Fey vowed to deep six her celebrated Sarah Palin impersonation, now she says it's likely bound for a resurrection. The Palin wig will soon will soon have to "come out of the closet," she vowed to Harper's Bazaar. The hook? The soon-to-come publication of Palin's quickly written autobiography "Going Rogue." Fey also talked to the fashion magazine about her own famous glasses. She insists she doesn't sport the signature specs all the time. "I don't wear them when I am dressed up, because then I would look like Tootsie," the Emmy-winning...
