Urg, retro graphics and arcade gameplay. Not my thing at all.
 
But it's free! And it would make The Number go up.
 
I'm so torn.
 
Internet, tell me what to do!
 

Internet: Get a Life!  :P

It's very rare SNL is funny even with its cold openings. SNL is 50 (dang!) now.
Even its season premiere was weak. :(

Well back in the 70s and 80s there was no other way to get something
like SNL except broadcast TV.  They pushed the limits of what could be
broadcast which made them fun to watch and "edgy" I guess.

But with the internet, a plethora of content creators, and cable and
streaming services not under the constraints of broadcasting
regulations, means they're neither edgy or fun anymore, adding in woke
stuff doesn't help either.

And frankly a lot of their people are just plain not really funny.

Another case of they don't make em like they used to.
Belushi, Chase, Radner, Carvey, Miller, and so many others, I don't see
any resemblance to that level of talent in the new crew.

They're mostly just not that funny, woke comedians with woke writers =
something utterly forgettable, utterly determined to not offend anyone
at all, no one can take a joke anymore without pitching a hissy fit all
over social media and trying to cancel someone.


Hell they're still talking about "Get a Life" decades later, will
anything made now even be remembered a month later unless it blew up
into an internet controversy because they managed to offend some Trans
Lesbian Nazi Abortionist Witchdoctor Migrants or somesuch?
