Zach Galifianakis on SNL 3/6/10

VERDICT: NOT CRAP

SUMMARY: Although there were more CRAP bullets than NOT CRAP bullets, the quality of the CRAP bullets dominated the NOT CRAP bullets.

NOT CRAP BULLETS:

• 60% of skits were funny
• Galifanakis' stream-of-consciousness fake-out monologue appeared spontaneous and self-written (and it was funny)
  
• The Zach on NBC Sets was memorable
• Vampire Weekend's first song ("Cousins")
  

CRAP BULLETS:

• The skit about people who inappropriately kiss
  
• As usual, Weekend Update as hosted by the King of SNL Crap, Seth Myers
  
• The totally forgettable final skit. I can't even remember it and I just watched it five minutes ago
• Vampire Weekend's second song
• Bidet skit would have been funny if Andy Samberg had not been in it

TO BE DETERMINED CRAP OR NOT CRAP:

He apparently shaved off his beard, off-camera, some time before that last sketch. (NBC hasn’t made video of the last sketch available.) Galifianakis’ parting words were, “Thank you to the magic of life!” It certainly was a magical SNL — strange but vastly entertaining magic, a uniquely peculiar evening. Source: EW
