The last few weeks I have caught several hilarious SNL Digital Shorts. Now usually the way I catch them is either seeing information about them on the internet: as will the I Ran So Far (found here)
Or by my husband recording SNL for me, as in the case of Punched in the Face Before Eating. It delivers exactly what it promises: punches. You can see it on YouTube, of course I have provided link.
Hope you are having a great week!
This provides hope for the SNL future, perhaps they will come out with more funny skits like these. However I'm not holding my breath and still will be watching 30Rock for my laughs.

I'd rather see it later on youtube - as would most of the world. what's wrong with NBC that they don't want people to watch SNL - that's what you have to ask!!
Posted by: 10lees at October 23, 2007 02:16 PMThe reason NBC doesn't like it is that if you're not sitting through the hour long show on their site or through their station, you're also not sitting through the commercials. If it's on YouTube, they get no advertising money. The networks don't care that you watch a show, just that the ratings for a show are high so that they can get companies to advertise during it. The arguement is that YouTube cuts into their ratings. Yes, in theory it should help, but are you really going to go watch SNL now that you've seen a few snippets on YouTube? No, because it's lame. But they want you to tune in through the whole thing even if it is lame.
Not saying I care, just explaining.

Oh yeah, I suppose commercials are 'good' - that's why they should work them into skits (what brand of cupcake could they have advertised during the Chronic of Narnia?) I'm just saying that I have a DVR and never watch commercials - bwahahaha!
Just search for it on youtube though, it's on there somewhere...
