Tina Fey and Amy Poehler opened the 27 September episode of Saturday Night Live with a Sarah Palin and Katie Couric interview spoof. Click above to watch the full HQ video [Website – Amy Grindhouse].
This is the second Palin parody done by Fey and Poehler, on SNL, in as many weeks.
The first video took a satirical look at the relationship between Sarah Palin and Hillary Clinton. This new video features a spoof on the sit down interview of Governor Sarah Palin and CBS network news anchor Katie Couric.
Although it has its merits, I find this new skit far less funny than the first.
I found myself waiting for the clip to get funny. I clicked play and then I sat waiting until the bloody end credits rolled. I actually finished watching this clip about 5 minutes ago and, you know, I am still waiting for them to tell an actual LOL.
As well as feeling like I missed the joke, I also feel far less inclined to pee myself with laughter and/ or LOL so loud that my windows vibrate.
And, after all, that is what SNL, or SNLOL ™ as I call them, is for. If I’m not so excited I could just poop*, or so excited I almost spit my Ribena all over my PC screen, SNLOL has FAILed.

boy I wish you’d put the text before the video, I just watched the whole thing and was un-funned and then read you weren’t impressed either!

Dude, first things first… outstanding use of the word ‘un-funned’.
Second, interesting to see that I am not the only one who thinks this is nothing like as funny as the first vid. Maybe I should add a warning above the clip saying ‘this video may totally blow’, rather than moving the text up?
I agree. Not too funny. But Tina does a great imitation of Palin and the woman interviewing her has Katie’s eye lash blinking down to a tee.

Welcome Meg. Funnily enough you are not the first person to have picked up on Katie’s dead-eyed, maniacal blinking!
