For those who weren’t watching SNL, or didn’t watch (can’t blame you, since its so fucking bad these days), they just had a music video of a young Chuck Norris, going around learning karate and figthing bad guys in the 70′s. Sound funny? It wasn’t. And I’m sure I’m in the minority.
First off, I find this current Chuck Norris craze far from funny. It was great when when Conan O’Brien was showing Walker clips, and yeah that site with the thirty Chuck facts was initially humorous, but it has long run out of steam, perhaps because people have been repeating said facts ad nausea. I know people want to be part of whatever’s popular, but hearing the same joke over and over again has become grating (anyone who’s been on a message board, any which one, might perhaps know the high number of folks doing just this). People I don’t think even care of the joke itself is funny, so long as they get to say the name Chuck Norris.
And now this SNL sketch, which I just knew while watching, it will have everyone going go “OMG, Chuck Norris! LOL!!!!” for days now. The thing is, its not funny! I mean, for starters…
- the song was not great
- the dude hardly looked like Chuck
- why is Chuck eating out of a garbage can?
… But no one is going to question it because OMG, its Chuck Norris! LOL! LOL!
I guess its hardly surprising, since SNL has been such shit for the past few years now.
Oh God, I’m so worked up over this that I was foolish enough to leave the TV on Weekend Update is on! If I hear Tina Fey’s cackle for more than a few minutes, my head will explode.
BTW, I’m probably the guy who didn’t find the Narnia rap from a few weeks back all that funny. Actually, it was, but no where on the scale in which everyone else seems to think it is.
