Featured review
Funniest episode in at least 2 years
I used to be an SNL regular viewer, but got tired of being clobbered over the head with sexism and racism, and thus became much more selective in the episodes I watch.
Along comes Adam Sandler to provide one of those rare episodes in which the humor is actually based on... funny material acted out in funny ways.
I could see Ché and Strong aching to lead the cast back into the racism and sexism... a bit of a bummer, as Ché is actually funny. I was delighted to see the rest of the cast take their cues from Sandler, bringing their best efforts to create comedy by being funny.
The present episode reminds us that Adam Sandler loves a good sandwich. Looks like the schedule has placed him in an Emma sandwich. I didn't waste my time watching the first Emma episode (18), and it's unlikely (though possible, if my sources advise me otherwise) that I will watch the next one (20). I'll probably just toss both slices of industrial Emma bread, and stick with the more substantial Adam in the middle ;-)
In summary, this rare and unique episode 19 worked: It had me roaring with laughter from start to finish, with zero distraction.
