SNL: Punched! (via hulu)
Saturday Night Live is doing impressive things with Hulu so far. The decision to go with only clips works much better for SNL than it does for other shows, and I think that a focus on individual skits can only be good for the show. It also allows them to appeal more to the 18-25 range that typically isn’t watching tv on Saturday nights and uses video on demand more than any other demographic. I’d also imagine that advertisers must love the opportunity to attach a 10-15 second ad to clips that average only 3 minutes or so.
Short but scripted clips are really Samberg’s specialty, too. Even when they’re kind of stupid (like this one), I can’t help being amused. Much better than watching Jimmy Fallon try to smirk his way through a skit with some forced celebrity.
