Annoying: SNL's Not Funny, and Now It's Ripping Off My Stuff

Several people told me that my Apprentice parody was funny enough for SNL.

I guess SNL agreed. Just got done watching an unfunny version of the parody, featuring Bush as Trump, grilling Colin Powell, Condi Rice, and Donald Rumsfeld.

Not even a hat tip, either. Lorne Michaels needs to learn netiquette.

Do I really think that they stole? Eh, not really. It's a fairly obvious premise, I guess. Just annoyed that a crap version of the sketch can get on TV, whereas I'm lucky to be featured on Nasty Ned's Humor & Boobies Chat-Room.

Will whine for food.

You'd be a bastard to complain about SNL stealing your material after you had the cowbell thing going for months.

Well, okay, sure, I'll give you that.

That's a bullshit comment, #1.

When Ace started the whole cowbell thing, it was expressly acknowledged that the skit was from SNL, and those of us around at the time had a lot of fun with Will Farrell and Christopher Walken comments as well. Ace never pretended to be original with that bit. He disclaimed it and used it as a fun sight gag. He even referred to the site that he got the animated gif from as well.

SNL may or may not have ripped off Ace's premise. (It is an obvious one, so I'm inclined to think its just a coincidence anyway), but to attack Ace in this instance is unwarranted. Trust me, there are plenty of other things to dog him about....

This post is from Senator Philabuster, in the event the name doesnt show up.

Thanks for the defense, but whoever wrote that first comment wasn't really attacking me, Senator. He was probably just joking a bit.

Even if he wasn't joking, it's still the case that I did use their material. Acknowleged, yeah.

I'm being very self-indulgent and whiny. I need a smack in the face.

Um. . .interesting changes to the comments. Otherwise, I LOVE IT. Now, come here and I'll kiss you.

Oh, you didn't mean THAT kind of smack? Oh well.

i think it might have been funny if you directed it as for how they did it i say blah another skit by those suffering from BDS

This Valu-rite's for you, Ace.

SNL has definiely gone down the crapper. Over the years they hit patches where they suck and they're in one now. I understand Tina Faye is one of the writers. Maybe that's it.

P.S. Ace, I wish SNL would hire you as a writer.

Posted by: on November 22, 2004 11:11 AM

Uh, I'm having trouble locating Nasty Ned's. Are you sure about the spelling?

Tucker Carlson Network
@TCNetwork

The people in charge [Jews, of course -- ace] don't want you to know this, but Muslims love Jesus.

Islam reveres Him as a major prophet and messenger of the Lord, believes He performed miracles, and states that He will return to Earth to defeat the Antichrist. That's why Donald Trump's painting depicting himself as the Son of God offended the president of Iran. It was an attack on his religion as well as Christianity.

Trump's trolling tweet was ill-advised, but Tucker is just lying when he claims the Christianity-hating President of Iran was "offended" by this.
He's one step away from announcing his official conversion to Islam. He literally never stops praising Islam. Well, he suddenly became Christian two years ago, there's not much stopping him from converting again.
You can track Tuq'r's official conversion to Islam with this Bingo card.

Podcast: CBD and Sefton talk Orban losing, but is it the end of Hungary? The Irish start a brawl, but is it enough, Pope Leo wades into politics, Trump calls Iran's bluff and blockades Hormuz, Artemis II! Swallwell is scum, and more!
People say that the bearded man in the video of Fartwell molesting a hooker looks like Democrat Arizona Senator Rueben Gallego, said to be Swalwell's "best friend" and known to take vacations with him.
@KFILE 21m

Politico is reporting that multiple people have abruptly resigned from Eric Swalwell's gubernatorial campaign: "Members of senior leadership have departed the campaign, including Courtni Pugh, a strategic adviser who served as Swalwell's top liaison to organized labor groups."

So the campaign is collapsing due to the truth of the sexual harassment allegations.
That hissing sound you hear is the air going out of the Swalwell campaign. UPDATE: No it wasn't, it was just Swalwell one-cheek-sneaking out a fart on camera
Eric Swalwell more like Eric Farewell amirite

I wouldn't click on it, it's not interesting, it's just stupid clickslop. I just want to share my annoyance with you.
Oil prices plunge on bizarre realization that Eric Swalwell may actually be straight. A rapey molester, allegedly, but a straight one.

Now twenty people will tell me it's not obscure, it was huge in their hometown and played at their prom. That's how it usually goes. When I linked Donnie Iris's "Love is Like a Rock," everyone said they knew that one and that his other song (which I didn't know at all) Ah Leah! was huge in their area.
