![]() ![]() The use of infrared night-vision is interesting and unique for a live SNL sketch. (host)’s flatus is mistaken for sign of paranormal activity Great ad-lib from Hugh after his Shakespeare joke doesn’t go over well with the audience. Not only are there lots of funny lines, but Hugh is handling this so damn well, with tons of charm, expertise, and genuine funniness. Hugh, in one of the many things he says he is: “I’m the yelp of a puppy freed from the microwave.” I love Hugh naming the audience collectively “Sweetcheeks”. They continue to use it to this day, I believe. I really don’t understand SNL’s need to use a fake applause track during the opening montage, and this gaffe tonight should’ve led to SNL finally stopping their usage of it, but nope. ![]() A big gaffe right at the beginning, in which SNL’s fake applause track accidentally continues to play long after the real audience has stopped applauding and long after Hugh Laurie has begun speaking. Host tells how he’s unlike House & says what to expect from an Englishman Borat even manages to make his “Live from New York…” funny, by throwing in “home of the Jew”. I like the Wayne’s World reference with Borat occasionally saying “Shwing?” I’m getting so much of the usual “oh, so wrong” laughs at Borat’s juvenile-and-offensive-but-funny comedy. The “human pubis” that Borat displays is hilarious, as is him saying “This bale took over three women to make.” And now we see who the audience was wildly applauding for earlier: Borat! Charming to see Lorne make a gaffe like that. An unintentional laugh from Lorne’s genuine difficulty in pronouncing “Kazakhstan”. Coincidentally, we actually do end up getting a Tina Fey cameo (and a certain other SNL alum/30 Rock cast member) in the monologue of the very next episode. That would be probably the oddest form of a cameo in SNL history, though you have to admit, it IS amusing to imagine Tina Fey making a hand cameo. Pretty silly to think Tina Fey would make such a brief, off-camera “cameo” in which the only thing we can see of her onscreen is her hand. Some of those SNL fans not only wondered if that person handing Lorne the sandwich was a famous person, but they even assumed it might’ve been the recently-departed-from-the-show Tina Fey, because, upon being given his sandwich, Lorne says what sounds like “Thank you, Tina!” (it’s hard to tell what name Lorne is saying under all the wild applause from the audience). This is presumably because off-camera, a certain special guest who we’re about to see onscreen was spotted by the audience (the set he’s standing at was probably lit up at this point), but I remember a lot of online SNL fans back at this time in 2006 speculating if the applause was for the person who handed Lorne his sandwich, a person who is mostly off-camera, except for their hand holding the plate with the sandwich. Right before Lorne is handed his sandwich by someone, the audience suddenly breaks out into WILD applause out of nowhere. ![]() A laugh from Lorne taking the time to pour himself a drink while telling us about the drastic budget cuts NBC has had to make lately. A message from Lorne? I see we’re already starting off with something different. Segments are rated on a scale of 1-5 starsīorat (Sacha Baron Cohen) promotes Kazakhstan during paid announcement ![]()
