SNL Gets Into Software Spoofing With Sir Mix-a-Lot's Photo Shop

GeekSugar — Mon, 16 Feb 2009 10:02:56 -0800

This weekend's SNL satirized Facebook and the Wii, but my favorite skit was Sir Mix A Lot's new endeavor - his Photo Shop, where they retouch photos to enlarge womens' assets, because as he said, he "may have stopped making hits, but I never stopped liking big butts!"

SNL on Social Networks: MySpace at the Learning Annex

GeekSugar — Mon, 12 Jan 2009 10:00:42 -0800

As social networks rise in popularity among older and older crowds, this clip from Saturday Night Live from a couple seasons ago seems ultra relevant. As a mom tries to learn to use MySpace at the Learning Annex, SNL speculates what kind of other people want to learn.

SNL to Get Its Own Video Website!

GeekSugar — Tue, 14 Oct 2008 09:00:25 -0700

I love my video websites like YouTube, Vimio, and Hulu, and even though it's fun to watch hilarious viral videos, they're indispensable for TV clips; before when you forgot to watch or DVR something, you just missed it. The end. But the rise of websites with clips on them ensures you're never out of the loop; can you imagine living in a world where you missed "D*ck in a Box"?

I can't, and it seems that Saturday Night Live doesn't want you to ever imagine such a fate - the legendary show is launching its own website!

My crush Seth Meyers slipped the news recently, and I think it makes so much sense. Say goodbye to scouring Hulu, YouTube and NBC.com for the skits you want to show your friends, because now you'll have a one-stop shop. You know what else you can say goodbye to? Many, many hours of your time. Hello, classic Chris Farley!

SNL Has Some T-Mobile Fave 5 Fun

GeekSugar — Mon, 15 Sep 2008 11:45:00 -0700

In case you missed the big season premiere of Saturday Night Live this past weekend, you definitely have to check out out the brilliant Sarah Palin impersonation done by Tina Fey. Then you have to watch this skit which features SNL host Michael Phelps in a hilarious T-Mobile Fave 5 commercial. Too funny! I can't help but dare to ask. . . Who's in your Fave 5?

Nick Burns: Fixes Your Computer, Makes Fun of You

GeekSugar — Thu, 24 Apr 2008 09:00:52 -0700

Oh, Nick Burns, or "Your Company's Computer Guy," is one of my favorite SNL characters ever - he would fix your computer, and then degrade you as only a bored IT guy can. Sadly, I have to say that Nick Burns is a too-often true stereotype. What is it about that job? I have had an IT guy treat me like I was a luddite, but luckily, the Sugar HQ computer guy is nice and respectful and has never told me to "MOOOOOOOOOVE!"

In this clip, Nick and his scathing impatience face off with Y2K and a 2000-era Jamie Foxx. Have any of you had a Nick Burns experience?

Ellen Page & Wilco: Texting Machines

GeekSugar — Sat, 01 Mar 2008 07:05:36 -0800

Dear SNL, I love you. Love, geeksugar.

Not only did SNL bring back ultimate geeky girl Tina Fey for their first show back from the strike, tonight's host is going to be Ellen Page (whose Juno hamburger phone was a big winner in Oscar Season), along with Wii-lovers and all-around bada**es Wilco. Either SNL is a huge geeksugar fan and trying to seduce me with this promo, or they just got the memo that Ellen Page = young, and young people = texting.

Paris Hilton Learns Computer Skills

Yes, it's true, Paris Hilton does know how to use a computer! Check out this funny video created by the team at Saturday Night Live. With the catch phrase, "You Have To Learn Computers," the Rafael Alonso I.T.F Technical Computer Institute is quite the techie school. Gotta love the way Maya Rudolph types on the keyboard, it reminds me of a Barbie doll. Check it out!
