SNL pokes fun at Jobs and the iPod

Speaking of SNL and Apple... surely someone else has to remember their McIntosh Jr. and McIntosh Post-It Notes parodies from long ago. And here are links to those, just for the record, found via Google: http://www.flamingmailbox.com/maccomedy/movies/powertocrush.html http://www.flamingmailbox.com/maccomedy/movies/postitnote.html

I'd love to see more parodies of His Steveness. I'd just prefer to see them well-acted.

Kind of funny. But if I was a network exec I'd cancel that show in two seconds. It sucks. I don't understand who watches it anymre.

I'm all for mocking Steve. Hell, the guy has it coming. And I think the origal point of the blog is pretty interesting, too: Steve Jobs has obviously made it to the mainstream if the writing staff at SNL has decided to mock him. But it wasn't all that funny. I mean, there are a couple moments where they nail him. And those made me smile. (or was it a chuckle?) But Xenedar's got a point. Many of us think that SNL usually isn't funny. Lots of people think that their skits take a funny idea and then beat it to death. I certainly think so. I'm not suggesting comedy sketch writing is easy. Nor am I suggesting I could do better. I'm not even suggesting that these opinions are held by a majority. But for those of us who find it hard to laugh at SNL, this skit was par for the course. But as they say in the theater biz: if they're laughing, at least they're paying attention!

>SNL mocks Steve = SNL is crap. Not being in the US, I have no idea about SNL. But many of the posts here specifically mention that people didn't like the program already before this Jobs skit ever came along. I don't know how you could jump to the "SNL mocks Steve = SNL is crap" judgement regarding the comments here.

It wasn't very funny, but he pretty much nailed Jobs' mannerisms (but not his voice). It doesn't really surprise me, though SNL has always been a pretty big posterboy for being an all-Apple show (and hell, Ferrell did a commercial for Apple).

i personally can't wait till i have "ever picture ever taken" on my "floating" ipod. "you can listen to music, synch up with ical, watch movies--fantastic." --very steve, very funny.

Doesn't make sense to me that they're bad just coz they tried mocking Stevie... I was on the couch, at first I thought the actor wasn't really getting a hold of 'Steve's way' of talking/introducing things, but when he stood between the two ladies and pulled the ipod ... (don't remember what he called it) then just said "It's faaahnnntastic" I laughed my a$$ off, he sure did say it pretty much the same way Steve does, then the iPod invisible that was funny too, all in all good job SNL

Oh men you're such a bunch of suckups! SNL mocks Steve = SNL is crap. Cmon this was funny! Just relax!

It was funny to see, but it was lame. SNL has been crap for a few years now. I used to tune in more, but I mostly ditch it for re-runs on Discovery since those are usually better.
