It would have been better if they just did 45 seconds of “if you think [number] of judges is tough, try [bigger number] of judges” with no further skit.
The game Last Epoch came out with a "Falconer" class recently so I went back and watched the Will Forte sketches of "The Falconer" that were on TH-cam. One episode involved time travel and they kept having everyone who failed to stop an event go back in time to stop the event again, which meant new people had to play their original selves every time, and it was amazing how by the end it may have had the entire cast playing one guy. 🤣🤣🤣
@@ROBYNMARKOW Bowen seems made for this type of sketch but at the same time you almost expect a bit from him so it’s kinda better without. Horrible misuse of Kenan though.
Thank you! I thought it was just me. Two weeks in a row of already done, boring skits. They need a prayer at this point. The Latin guy is not funny. The norm Mac wanna be is dryer than my moms turkey, Sara is too loud. The only reason I watch is for weekend update and the music. U can tell Heidi is not feelin it anymore. Mikey Dey isn't even funny anymore.
SNL often has good themes and (mostly) good actors, but could really use an extra writer or two who can write funny jokes. "I'm a gay judge," etc. aren't jokes.
I hope that they let the terrible writers do this whole episode as a “test” to see if they need to be fired. The answer is yes - they do need to be fired.
@@tattoofthesunn795 Agree. What the hell is up with the amount of dog time in this episode? Did they have access to a dog and think “yep, this is what we want to go all in on”??
The way to make this funny would be to do it as a preview for a new tv show. “You love tv judges, and you loved when we brought three judges together for hot bench, now coming this fall, we’re turning up the heat. the judges bench just… got… bigger. 17 judges, one bench”
@@fafster6439 They didn't have time; once they decided to do an actual courtroom case AND introduce so many judges there was no time for anything else.
I saw that too and was like "did he just flub his line or something"? Looked like he was not in the right headspace there or in the part where they are banging their gavels around 0:31
What bugs me, about me, is that it bugged me that they only had 16 judges in the courtroom scene. That includes the dog. I embarrassingly invested too much time to this mediocre skit

The chicken wings skit did that hilariously and I would love it for an ever increasing judge panel

Where’s Bowen?
And then at the end it would be like 700 people all talking over eachother

Are the writers on strike again
lololol
I felt that one 😂
Either that or they’re on drugs
No, and that's why the writing is so bad.
Tv across the board is horrible!!
I feel like this sketch had so many opportunities to be funny, but they managed to foil it every time.
exactly
Just like me drunk at 3am. Coincidentally, that's when they wrote this
I agree
If it weren't for the cleavage I woulda stopped watching...
You have to wonder how bad all the other sketches were that were pitched at the same meeting, that they selected this one 🤷♂
It’s my theory that they used ChatGPT 3 to write this entire episode tonight and no one showed up for rehearsal.
Tbh whenever a comedian isn’t hosting the sketches are mostly horrible.
I thought it was funny..and itnis amatter of opinion to some extent right? But sorry you didnt like it snd I respect your opinion.
@@firstlast9846guess they don't want to "waste" their favorite sketches on people who may not be able to perform them well
nah i heard it was michael che's writing lmfao
I think they used the Google Liberal White Woman version of AI.
Dude wtf is this lmao. The funniest thing about this video is the comments.
Facts
Some parts were laughable ngl
I don’t know what’s going on here
They had the whole cast and a dog in this sketch and still couldn’t make this funny.
Thank you! I thought it was just me. Two weeks in a row of already done, boring skits. They need a prayer at this point. The Latin guy is not funny.

Shane Gillis was sick though.
This is shit
@@MoneyGrip70 He only stated that THIS wasn't funny. Go watch the Please Don't Destroy skit.
I died. :)
@@MoneyGrip70 Last week with Shane Gillis was awesome.
The dogs budget was bottomless tonight.
My mom wrote this episode!! In the Amazon jungle, right before she died. . . .
It's madame time
This comment is funnier than the sketch! 😂😂😂😂
Okay, George Santos. 😂
💀 was she also researching spiders?
How did this get on the air? I’m assuming Lorne Michaels died and they haven’t told us yet.
This feels like a cut for time sketch.
Lmaoo wow
I’m not impressed with Sidney Sweeney. I thought she was a good actor.
lol! 😂.
conspiracy theory: lorne michaels is losing his mind but cant be dethroned and that's why the sketches are getting worse
How was this not 'cut for time'..?
Slow week lol
only good stuff is cut for time for some reason
@Niberspace Your pic is wayyyy funnier 😂😂😂 got me blowing and rubbing my screen!!!
Thanks, most people are running "dark theme" these days so it's rare to get anyone anymore@@kitcobain444
Or just cut for other reasons😅

I think it would have been funny if they'd played into it more but they didn't.
I think an extra comedy writer could really round up their dream team of (1) comedy writers.
Its funny cause they’re unique characters
The main Judge talking was ok, the rest were ignorant. The dog was insulting to our intelligence.
Fine, you think they have good themes. But the 1500th courtroom show skit isn’t one of them.
I honestly thought the dog from the Air Bud sketch was going to be Judge Wood.
Agreed, it was a missed opportunity
Ego & Marcello be carrying all the sketches.
Yes, but carrying them to where? Oblivion
Looks like ChatGPT fired off a response to "17 judges skit for saturday night live, but make it unfunny"
Gay dude offended
I hope that they let the terrible writers do this whole episode as a “test” to see if they need to be fired. The answer is yes - they do need to be fired.
The Air BnB sketch was pretty good, best was the Police precinct cold cases sketch. 100% made me say "YES, finally-- this is quality"
@@tattoofthesunn795 Agree. What the hell is up with the amount of dog time in this episode? Did they have access to a dog and think “yep, this is what we want to go all in on”??
There is no excuse for not ending this by bringing in dancing lobsters.
Glad I'm not the only one that got that vibe lol
Hadn't heard that in over 10 years, but at the end it just came back to me. Was hoping to find this in the comments.
We always hear about all the hours the SNL guys work and this is what they come up with, week after week?😂
It really is sad. SNL is much worse than K&P
SNL needs to pop that beanie back on
😂😂😂😂😂
What a time to be alive
This literally made me laugh out loud. My people!
Judge Woof's shake off during the wave was the most entertaining part of the skit
I like how he looked at everyone like “what the heck are all of these people doing?”
Remember a few years ago when it was still funny and Kyle and Beck were still on?
Judge Woof looks good in a silk robe 👘
I can't forgive myself for laughing when the puppy judge showed up
Its was dumb n too fake
@@donnellcoleman7784 just like u?
Now it time to do the wave! What? 😂
This episode is really...uh..unique
Unique? U are too nice. I say at least watchable or okay.
And not funny
This was the only one I saw that who wholly unfunny, which is pretty good for SNL
That's just the usual trashy writing of SNL, nothing new tbh.
@@002nl This episode was exceptionally bad. They need to fire Bowan Yang.

AND THEY'VE DONE THIS BEFORE. WHERE ARE THE WRITERS.
You're hired!
I don't care how terrible this sketch is. Sydney looks amazing in that outfit.
I'm guessing that was the writers' thought process as well.
Its just cleavage
Mighty fine.
exactly 😍
Oh God,yes.
I love how the comments trashing this sketch are making me laugh more than the sketch itself lmfao
SNL ... blurring the line between comedy and irony since 1973
I feel bad for Sydney because these writings are so bad
she adds nothing to the scenes, bad writing only highlights that
Have you seen the writers? They’re too young!
Eh, it wasn't even that bad. I've never heard Sydney doing southern accent before, that was funny asl 😂
@@002nl, that was a southern accent?
Your writings r bad
Snatch game when everyone has the same character and nobody wants to use their alternate.
“The wave” at 4:26 had me cracking up laughing! I don’t know why I found that so hilarious! 😂
The dog was the best part of this skit. And he is wondering why he got sucked into it.
Set designers and decorators really did amazing.
except for not building it big enough for 17 judges!
The pitch meeting: "We do a Judge Judy sketch but only with A LOT OF JUDGES!"
"Brilliant!" "Yes!" "Let's do it!"
They should have used the air bud dog in this one. It would have been a funny callback
There's no rule that a dog can't be a judge
Marcello with “Chipotle” 😂
written by chatGPT
Missed opportunity to have one of the Judges as Judge Dredd
Don't acknowledge it, address it or even give them a line, just have them there
I would watch this series as long as there were plentiful bong hits and tasty snacks nearby
I’m glad I was alive to watch snl when it was funny
nostalgia 😔
*the extra behind Sydney, on our left, with the black hair and stuff is cuuuuuute*
Kenan saying everyone should kiss reminds me of that one Kate McKinnon bit where she keeps going "kiiiiiiiiiiiiiss"
SNL is testing out AI written skits...
This sketch gives me hope. I now believe that I can be a professional sketch writer.
"Habrá justicia Bebe..." 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🤭🌟👌⭐️
"Habra justicia bebé..."
🤣🤣🤣
We do talk like that, when trying to score at least.
Great ChatGPT sketch
The dog was not present in the closing logo frame... GOTCHA! CONTINUITY CHECKMATE! IN UR FACE! and also hilarious.
This is one of the worst sketches in SNL’s 50 year history.
Agree. This whole episode sucked but this was by far the worst skit. Didn’t laugh once.
I was thinking the exact same thing. How did this skit get picked at the planning table?
Marcelo being hot can carry things only so far...
Anyone hear a random whisper at 2:08 or am I buggin
“We changed it”?
Yeah, I heard it too.
lol the dog arms doing the wave at the end totally disconnected from the doggy hahah
Maybe one day they'll remember they're supposed to add jokes to their premise.
Comment section is more funnier than the Sketch!
Suddenly it's apparent SNL only has one week to write... and they spend 5 of those days absolutely staring at the ceiling.
The Deal or No Deal version of Justice.
If a sketch has every comedian cast member, but nobody laughs, is it still comedy?
the dude behind Sidney is trying SO HARD not to laugh, it is the funniest bit😂
Dogs were gettin' PAID tonight.
The dog shakes his head to start the wave! 😂😂 Was that planned?
If Clarence accepts John Oliver's offer, there's plenty of room for him on Big Bench!
🎊💯😆😂🏆
The Verdict: Guilty
And The Sentence: Panera
Worst sketch of the night in an episode filled with really bad sketches.
This sketch was....Woof. And I'm not talking about the adorable dog.
What was supposed to be funny about this sketch?
Someone thought it would be funny to have 17 'Judge Judy' types all bickering about what to do but then they forgot to write that sketch.
@@flast9020I think so too. It had potential in the beginning but they didnt give the judges much to do
@@fafster6439 They didn't have time; once they decided to do an actual courtroom case AND introduce so many judges there was no time for anything else.
@@flast9020 HAHAHAHAHAHAHA, lol. *Man,* now see, *that* was actually funny! $:^ b
OO
This is all over the place but had some funny bits
I don't know how this sketch makes it through the pitch meeting.
I love it when its a big cast
Omg. It can’t get less funny.
Why do people who think the show isn't funny continue to watch it?
@@AmandaFromWisconsinhoping one day it will be funny again
Bring back last seasons crew they where funny as heck. I havnt found any of this season all that funny
So I basically just watched an ad for Panera
That wasn't even a little funny but Sydney is fire.....
What Exactly was the pitch for this sketch?
calling it a discovery card was a good touch, i did that when i got my first discover card lmfao
god there was not a single joke
Alejandro was disappointed in himself 😂
So after the writers strike, did they just .. give up? These sketches are absolutely terrible.
4:06 *“Chipotle”* 🤣🤣🤣
How can I get my time back after watching this?
I called customer service. The lady I talked to was very helpful. She apologized for the skit and I got a full refund!
That zoom past all the judges' heads in the intro... kind of cool looking.
The cast is great! The writing for this episode had… issues. The actors/comedians did the best they could with the material.😢
I correctly guessed she was going to accuse him of "stealing her heart." We even said it at the same time. Guilty of predictable dialogue, LOL.
1:23 why is no one bringing up Marcello's face after he delivers his line lmfao??????
Right? Kinda crazy.
I saw that too and was like "did he just flub his line or something"? Looked like he was not in the right headspace there or in the part where they are banging their gavels around 0:31
There were only 16 judges on that panel. What mockery of justice is this?!?
Why did Ego have all the lines? This should have been an ensemble sketch
I honestly feel bad for Sydney, she tried so hard but was given nothing to work with
They forgot to be funny tonight. Even PDD wasn't funny.
The biggest injustice in that courtroom is the lack of judge Woof on the logo.
Yikes. This is embarrassingly bad. 😢
you cant lie, that was a really smooth wave at the end
This is what happens when you have the Props Department write the entire sketch too
😂 sounds about right
There weren't 17 judges in the court room, unless you count the dog's PUPpeteer
Still looking forward to laughing
Incredible what I'll happily watch when they've got Sydney Sweeney up there like that
Wow… what happened to the writing..?
Honorable everybody 😂😂😂
What bugs me, about me, is that it bugged me that they only had 16 judges in the courtroom scene. That includes the dog. I embarrassingly invested too much time to this mediocre skit
why does the opening graphic of 17 judges not match the live 15 judges?
Judge tootie and judge woof are my favorite
Having the judge explain each joke was really a bold strategy! It almost felt like really bad improvisation.
This was a great premise that fell a little flat
This season has been mostly let downs. I think A.I. would be better at writing funnier sketches.
