What Sucks Too Much For Even Saturday Night Live?
Yesterday I saw a Saturday Night Live Best of 2006/2007 DVD, which contains "two unaired skits that were cut after the dress rehearsal." That is an absolutely terrifying thought. How unspeakably awful, how jaw-droppingly wretched, how mind-numbingly atrocious does a skit have to be for Saturday Night Live producers to say "Nope, doesn't meet our standards." On those unfortunate occasions when I watch the show, I'm actually embarrassed for the performers, as they read cue cards containing the lamest comedy material imaginable.
I mean, I guess deep inside I knew that some skits didn't make the final show, but I just can't comprehend the sheer level of suck that must be required for a skit to go unused. Does anybody volunteer to check it out and report back?

Gleefully Macabre Tales had a great first day of sales (if they hadn't boosted the print run literally the weekend before it went up for pre-order, they'd be gone, baby, gone). If you haven't placed your order yet, do so quick, so that a) you don't miss out, and b) I don't repeat the "Socially Awkward Moments With An Aspiring Lunatic" madness, where I almost sold out in two days, but then those last few frickin' copies took three more days to move. Shane at Delirium doesn't need any more "Are they gone yet???" e-mails.
Also, I didn't mention this before, but you can get your copy of Gleefully Macabre Tales personalized! There's no extra charge for this, but it does require payment up front (otherwise, no prepayment is required) just in case I sign it "To My Sweet Pooky Lovey Bumps!" and you cancel your order, forcing us to scour the globe for somebody named Pooky Lovey Bumps. Just choose that option when you're ordering, right here:
