SNL skits were always a mixed bag, and as previously stated, never improv-forward. Weekend update has historically been the consistent oasis of the show.

Purely subjective take, mind, but I feel like the rare occasion I watch more than the cold-open and weekend update, maybe one in ten skits ever seem funny and paced well. Most drag on for longer than they should given the density. And admittedly, I am getting old.

Hell yes. I still have my (formerly white) COC shirt somewhere. I saw them like 33-ish years ago in SF. It was everything I hoped it would be. Plus, they never strayed from the act, which is great and why people getting all upset about it completely miss the point of the show. Oh well. Sucks to be someone who never gets to enjoy a show in person.

They don’t really get GWAR, I gather. Fucking ignorant snowflakes. It’s telling as they attach so much of their personality to someone who is as equally fragile.
