SNL Highlights: Jon Hamm

Jon Hamm hosted for the second time, and again brought the funny. The episode definitely had some low points - the court stenographer for example, but Jon Hamm used his sex appeal in the best way, to be hilarious. Below are a few my favorite bits from last night.


SNL Digital Short: Sergio

Finally a digital short that isn't some funny rap! I loved when the therapist turns into him and especially when his wife gives birth.

New Senator


Weekend Update: Snooki

Oh no, we're in quite the predicament!

Hamm & Buble

I wish they'd used Buble more. I loved him singing his plea for help.

Overall, it was uneven but had more really funny moments than most of this season.

The Rundown Drinking Game


I love a good movie drinking game. You get to watch a fun movie, hang out with friends, and make a game of it so it's not just idly sipping your drink. Last week, my friends and I wanted to watch The Rundown, a highly underrated action film, but couldn't find a drinking game for it. So we made our own! I really recommend the movie, so check it out if you can and enjoy a few beers in the process!

Take a sip when:
There's a cameo (athlete, notable actor, govenator, etc)
They show a gun
Say "gatto"
There are wrestling moves
The Rock is awesome and Sean William Scott acts like an idiot
Walken is being clever
There are explosions
Cows show up
They use whips
When there's slow motion


Chug When:
The Rock shoots a gun
Sean William Scott does his "thunder and lightening" move

Finish Your Drink When:
Bagpipes show up

ABDC: South Regional Crews


America's Best Dance Crew is back! It's got a new format, a new judge, and I'm really digging it. Omarion was a good judge, but I definitely need to see more to see if he can live up to Shane Sparks' level of excitement and level handed criticism. So let's see what the South had to offer:

Jungle Boogie - Cranking
Stone Mountain, GA
Bounce by Busta Rhymes
I loved the full body snake type motion, but it did get clumsy towards the end. The floor bounce in the beginning was a great opening move. They had great energy and I loved the ending. i still don't quite get what cranking is, but I really enjoyed their performance.

Ghost - Smooth
Houston, TX
Android Porn by Crady
Very creepy with the smooth moves and the contacts. They did a great fan type motion. I agree with JC that it was a dramatic performance, but slow at times.

X-Treme Motion - Bucking
Houston, TX
Wow, those outfits...
They were very high energy, but it seemed a bit frantic at times. I could definitely see their dance team background.

Swagger Crew
Atlanta, GA
Ice Cream Paint Job
There was a really poor camera angle on a cool trick. The beginning of the routine didn't engross me, but they killed it after it went into the Ice Cream Paint Job song. The random white girl was really good! Loved the ending gag. Overall, the best routine of the night.

Royal Flush
Atlanta, GA
Wasted by Plies
The tricks were awesome! The back flips straight into the forward flip, the double person forward filp (flying flush), the 360 around flip - all very memorable moments. However, the dancing was just alright; their choreography definitely needs work.

Swagger Crew and Jungle Boogie make it through to the finals! Swaggar Crew was definitely the best. I thought Ghost and Jungle Boogie were both up there, but Jungle Boogie definitely had more presence and energy.

Sudden Death to Outta Control by Pit Bull
I love the fast pace of Sudden Death - very exciting and fluid instead of stopping and going to give each crew a whole dance. I liked this format last season too. Royal Flush's tricks were stand outs, but again their choreography leaves something to be desired. I hope they learn to step it up a notch now that they've made it through.

I'm definitely looking forward to this season, the crews we've seen so far are great! I hope the East is just as strong.
