    "Also, that all female aliens have huge racks."


    If you saw the latest episode of Astronaut Jones, the female alien was played by Andy Samberg, and he stated that the females on his planet actually have larger than human penises. His rack wasn't that large either.

    @teamlouish: Really? I was fairly certain Andy was sporting a good-sized rack in that sketch. But since the powers that be at NBC.com and Hulu don't seem to have the ability to share that sketch, and since I'm too lazy to queue it up on my DVR just this minute, I'll have to take your word for it. (Most alien females do have large racks though—just ask Captain Kirk.)

    on behalf of myself,


    I would like to thank you for space day Giz. Today has been one of the most entertaining days here at Giz that I can remember. I also feel it brought out a lot of great comments from some of the veterans who may have been a bit rusty lately,(not going to mention any ponies)


    thanks again and Hasta manana amigos para cinco de Mayo! or as I like to call it, "amateurs invading downtown making life miserable for us that live in the city" However I am looking forward to the turkey legs and grilled peppers.

    Robot insurance? With a $1000 deductible, you might as well had it pay under the insurance and avoid raising your premium.

    I swear that NBC's studio has only one robot suit and its been shared by SNL and Conan O'Brien liberally


    which is not a bad thing because that robot head has come off on SNL during a live taping twice, and once on conan with hilarious results

    Here's the original translation.

    Can't people outside of the boundries for videos just use proxies?

    That was the most un-funny collection of videos I've seen in a long time.


    Every SNL has ~ 8 minutes of genuinely funny stuff in it. These clips do not belong in those 8 minutes.

    @Dancing Milkcarton: There's a reason they keep moving around when "Weekend Update" is aired. And why all the truly horrible sketches get aired after the second musical performance.


    For over a decade, I've sort of imagined Lorne Michaels standing by the camera giving the "cut" sign to every sketch. Personally, I think that every sketch should have a hard limit of 2.5 minutes and the order of performance should be randomly drawn from a hat.

    @OMG! Ponies!: Honestly, the funniest thing I saw on SNL was when I tuned in and Amy Poehler was saying goodbye. Not her saying goodbye, but that whole Weekend Update was chock full o' funny. Especially the Patterson sketch. I'm so pissed they got yelled at for that, b/c I still laugh when I think about it. Now if you will excuse me, I have to go pay for 50 dollars worth of circus tickets.

    So what's the alternative?


    Thanks to DVRs, people fast-forward through commercials. Thanks to YouTube, many people don't even watch the show when and where it's originally shown.


    The shows still cost money to make but because people viewing habits have radically changed, the ability to sell commercial airtime through traditional means has waned. And no, smirking referential product placement is not funny. It was a cute gag in Wayne's World. It was overhyped and mistaken for clever writing on 30 Rock. It's an old gag and proof of weak writing.


    Keep laughing, keep whining. It won't be long until the annoying TNT-style bottom-third popup ads become the norm.

    @OMG! Ponies!: Those Outback Steakhouse references in 30 Rock this week were disgusting. NBC is the biggest culprit of this kind of sellout. And network television wonders why they're losing viewership. I'll take the TNT style lower pop-ups any day as they're easy to ignore. Stitching that effluvium into show dialogue is however not easy to ignore and only serves to aggravate.

    @HDC: That's the vicious cycle. They throw in product placement and drive away viewers. Which lowers ad rates. Which leads to more product placement. And worse writing. And worse viewership.


    The solution to getting people to watch ads is simple - make better ads. Here's one of my favorites, with Peyton Manning, who is consistently in well-written ads.


    And here is another ad, from Verizon, also funny.


    Make good ads and people will watch them.
