Title: Anyone catch The Killers last nite on SNL ?
Post by: davepeck on January 18, 2005, 08:51:37 pm: never heard of them before i saw this thread, so i hopped on an SNL torrent from the other night to check them out.. i gotta say, i kinda liked them.. leith, i definitely see what you\'re saying about the old-oasis energy.. they\'re not half bad, and they\'re some snappy dressers. :)

yes SNL blows now, but i can\'t get enough of the Chris Matthews skits.. they\'re really DEAD on!

and for anyone who thinks comedy on tv is dead, you need to tune into Arrested Development and Scrubs.

1. MadTV for the most part is horrible, but they do have the rare great skit(usually from either Stuart or Miss Swan).

2. Comedy on TV is very prevalent on this day in age on Comedy Central(Chapelle Show, Reno 911, South Park) and the Cartoon Network(adult swim).

Thanks for the wake up call!

Neither is funny. MADTV is probably the worst attempt at comedy I have ever seen. Come on Mark, you\'re smarter than that stuff. Dumbed down toilet humor for 10 year olds.

I found the lead singer to be soooo FLAT and they sounded amateur at best. None of them seemed to be on the same page.

I guess it just goes to show that 2 people can watch the same performance and walk out with completely different opinions

Straight Rock and Roll w/ that \'80\'s feel of early new romantic rock (synths)mixed w/ the energy of early Oasis. Their performance on SNL was awesome. I look forward to hearing more of these guys.
