Peyton Manning Went On SNL And Absolutely Destroyed Once Again

Umm hey Peyton, ever heard of spoilers, bud? I'm glad you were able to binge the whole season in one sitting. Not all of us have the luxury of working one night a week, most of us have these things called 'jobs,' bucko. Thought I was safe living my life, waiting for some down time so I could catch up on Emily In Paris on the 'flix at my own leisure. Didn't know I couldn't just get my weekly news from Colin Jost without the last decent Broncos quarterback dive bombing into my living room and ruining everything for me. Tom Brady wont even spoil his own retirement and you got big head over here spilling the tea on everything and anything he damn well pleases. What an asshole. 

But the real reason I wanted to write on this was to talk about Saturday Night Live in general. SNL truly becomes must watch the second they run these Please Don't Destroy sketches. I've long said that the way they find success in this new era is to be as random as possible. There's too much #topical #humor in everyone's hands every minute of every day. It's actually unavoidable at this point. So by the time Saturday night rolls around every joke and take has already been made, the best they can do is just regurgitate the best the internet already offered. Like with that Elmo-Rocko skit they ran a few weeks back that everyone alive hated. I get that they have to hit on certain topics, and it's certainly easier to write about what's going on in the world around them in order to fill that hour, but the more random and bizarre they get the better. What's NBC gonna do, kick them off the air? They're a goddamn institution, they can do whatever the hell they want with that time slot and still draw an audience. So I'm glad they have these three doing exactly that.
