Even if they blogged about it a minute after it aired it still wouldn't have been funny.
I think Josh was on to something.
Now, if we could only get rid of the /b/ references in the comments...
And why are these guys doing the robot?
Kotaku is a self-enabling cesspool of whiny Internet trolls, and the bloggers themselves resemble that description, too.
Oh, yeah, there are some good folks at Kotaku, but the bad ones out-shout them, and generally ruin the place. Kotaku is great if you're a 4chan retard or a fratboy who thinks being a douchenozzle is funny, but it's not exactly a place for intelligent discussions or exchanges of ideas. If you introduce an idea that runs opposed to the ideas of the bloggers themselves, they'll cut you down and block you.
Childish.
Joystiq is just fine for those of us who don't idolize Maddox and who want to have decent discussions rather than fanwank circle-jerks.

The googly eyed gardner still makes me laugh.
The recent Walken family reunion and googly-eyes-gardener skits were awesome though. I think of it whenver I go to the nursery.
I think it would have been funnier if they had a Jack Thompson imitation flaming the crap out of the game.
this is just bad comedy but at least they tried.

I haven't watched SNL for years... and I don't think I'll start again anytime soon.

I'm more surprised that people were apparently having a great time in the studio.
Anyway, I laughed initially and then just waited. That happens a lot with SNL skits.
You ever see a show where a kid is playing a video game and all you hear in the background are generic beeps and bloops? It's as if video game audio has not advanced since the Atari 2600.
I mean of all games to mock the movements of characters, they choose the one that is the first to run on a new engine?

I'm not saying I expect Ivy League research from SNL, but thinking that video game graphics haven't moved beyond the blocky characters of the Playstation, is like thinking that there is no difference in special effects between the new and old Star Wars trilogies.

People who read instruction booklets are a rare breed. But you read the credits in the booklets. You must be one in a million.

Craig Fergusson's monologue was much funnier. It actually had a point and an ending, not just an eject when they realized that they had no real ideas for the bit.

SNL went downhill since Will Ferrel & Jimmy Fallon left. Mad TV is just so much better IMO. BTW, Tina Fey & Amy Poehler have never been funny, ever!
