Saturday Night Live. Leave it to Bieber.

Alright, because it must be discussed, let’s talk about SNL.  Tina, of course, was hilarious.  Brownie Husband was a perfect example of KNOWING what she had a hand in, and also a fun foray into Liz Lemon fantasyland.  Loved the Sarah Palin Network, enjoyed Weekend Update (minus Kristen Wiig, of course), and the teacher skit made me laugh really hard.

But Tina’s always funny, and she’s always lovable, and any time she (or Steve Martin, or Justin Timberlake) wants to pop up on SNL, I’m game.  But I’m less interested in discussing Tina and much more interested in discussing the bane of Twitter’s trending topics, Justin Bieber.

Dude, Justin Bieber totally came out of nowhere, like one day he didn’t exist and suddenly he was all fucking Twitter talked about, and he was on the cover of Tiger Beat or whatever the kids like these days, and I didn’t know much about him, just that he looked like a lesbian and seemed like a huge douche, a feeling I authenticated with John Mayer tweeting about seeing Justin Bieber at a party walking around with a white tiger cub.  I mean, for fuck’s sake, when I read a tweet by John Mayer and he’s NOT at the forefront of doucheitude, maybe you should just reconsider your life.

Oh, and let us not forget about him whining about people throwing bras on stage.  I mean, hello?  Isn’t that kind of what you sign up for when you’re a rock pop star?  And isn’t that one of the more AWESOME things about it?  Do you think that Slash complains about having bras thrown at him?  Hello, do you think Justin Timberlake complains about bras?  NO!  So why don’t you just shut the fuck up and quit being a little bitch?!?!

Okay, but then one night, I fell asleep with the TV on and when I woke up, MTV was on and they were playing MUSIC, and I was like, WTF?  But I’m blind as a bat without my contacts, so I just kind of laid there listening to the song and I was kind of liking it, so I got curious and went for my glasses and … you all know what’s coming here.  It was Justin Bieber.

So basically, I was forced to confront the fact that I might not think he’s so bad, even though I still thought he was totally lame.  And then on Twitter, I saw an EW article that was like, “Why Justin Bieber might not be so bad on SNL”, so I clicked it and it made some sense, like … maybe his fans are more annoying than he is, and he CAN sing, and he has a sense of humor so it might be okay.  Well, alright, fair enough.

So there I was, all trying to keep an open mind about Justin Bieber on SNL, and then he has to fucking get on Twitter and bitch about his picture on the cover of People Magazine.  OH MY GOD YOU FUCKING LITTLE DOUCHEBAG BITCH!  I can’t DEAL with it.  Oh, you’re upset because they took a picture of you laughing?  FUCK YOU!  What a spoiled brat.  You are on the cover of People Magazine, how about you get your life in perspective, bitch?  UGH!

And you know, I’ve gotta think it’s really rough for publicists and handlers in the Twitter age, and with a kid who basically got his start on the internet (You Tube, from what I hear), but someone needs to teach that little asshole to keep his mouth shut before he goes full Miley (and everyone knows, YOU NEVER GO FULL MILEY).

As for the episode itself, and the Bieb in it, he really wasn’t bad.  I can see the appeal–he’s cute, and he CAN sing, and dance too.  He’s a little Justin Timberlake, a little Joey McIntyre … I can see it.  And Tina pushing him in a baby stroller was HILARIOUS.  You guys … I really do WANT to like him.  I just need for him to not talk for awhile, or at least to be such a jackass when he does.  Or at least to be a funnier jackass (a la John Mayer, king of the douches, but he really does make me laugh, so I forgive him a lot).

What did you guys think?  I feel like this is the first mainstream, adult-venue view of the Bieber for those of us who aren’t 13.  Feels a little like a coming out party (and Justin Bieber was definitely the prettiest girl at the dance).  I want to know what you all thought on this.

Also, does anyone else get the feeling that there is an entire generation of young actors who wants Tina Fey to Mrs. Robinson them?  I mean, I can certainly understand that, and congrats to Tina on being the go-to fantasy cougar, but seriously.  First it was RPattz having a crush on her and then Justin Bieber being kind of a little weirdo with her.  Tina is PIMP.

Comments, bitches!  We’ve got things to discuss.  I must know what you think.  Go go go!

    I think that Wiig is just boring and her characters are really stale. Same 2-3 with a little variation depending on the sketch. The worst part is that the current crop of ladies on the show are extremely talented and they’re trotting her out on WU to a character that may have been funny the first time only.

    Nice of Tina to bring out Steve Martin, again. Not sure what the deal was with the show. It was a solid “B”, but felt like they were riding on Fey’s big name and history to make the show.

    I haven’t watched it yet. I saw some tweets about it while I was at a REAL rock concert Saturday night (you know you love the Bon Jovi bitches!)

    I love Tina Fey and think she hilarious. The Bieber? Not so much. As an old lady, these days I am blobbing all the tweener peeps into one big shut the fuck up group. Miley, Heidi and her douchey boyfriend although i know they are older but they have the brain of a 14 yr old, any of those Twilight shits or HSM shits – well, pretty much anyone I think is stupid and famous for no reason. While I understand this Justin punk might have some talent, I don’t want to know anything about it because he screams douche so I will wait until he’s 30 and jump on the Bieber train then. if he hasn’t OD’d by then.

    Oh, yeah, Tiger Beat. I used to love that mag! Back when it was cool with Leif Garrett and Andy Gibb on the cover.

    SNL! I’m a huge Tina Fey fan, and have been since her days on SNL (remember way back then??), so to have her back was glorious! Brownie Husband was fucking hilarious, and it totally reminded me of something Liz Lemon would be all over. I also loved the hot-for-teacher (or I guess hot-for-student in this case) skit, it was hilarious.

    Justin Bieber? Ok, it’s time I admit this. I like the kid. I do. His hair is pretty, his eyes are pretty, and his singing is kind of pretty. I’ve known about him for a while, but I’m claiming it’s because he’s from Small Town Canadiana, and he was on W-5 or something with Wendy Mesley where they went to his hometown, and watching his Grandpa talk about him, and cry over him … it was fricking heartwarming. So yeah – he was totally on my radar, and I don’t hate him at all. However, that doesn’t mean I own all of his albums (that’s right, I said ALBUMS!) … I don’t even have any! But I wouldn’t turn off the radio if one of his tunes came on.

  • Patty

    You still have radio in Canada?

  • Kimber

    Patty – ha ha ha! No, seriously. We have pretty kick ass radio up here. Including a new station called GleeFM, playing Glee hits (and hopefully more, since that would get old fast). Wait, is radio dead in the US?

  • Patty

    Dallas radio sucks giant dog balls. Plus I only live 5 minutes from work. I would rather just sit in the quiet than listen to the crap they play. Or commercials. No fair you get Glee Radio!

  • Kimber

    Radio’s not so cool now that I’ve got Hodgepod (my iPod. Yes, he has a gender/name). But still fun for the morning shows. Also – Glee radio rocks. Glee songs, super hyper-techno songs, and Glee quotes. Love it!

  • TBA

    There was FAR too much Bieber in that episode. I mean, they usually put the musical guest in at least one sketch, but I feel like he was in about 8 – 10 sketches. (Ok. That may be a slight exaggeration…)

    Did you guys see funnyordie.com on April Fool’s Day when it was beiberordie.com? Even though I can’t say I really like or dislike Beiber – the funnyordie videos that he did were fucking high-larious.

    But, I get the whole Beiber thing. My kids like Beiber so I turn off his songs when they play on the radio in the car just to piss them off. But, I have to admit, his eyes do sparkle a little when he smiles/sings. Seriously. JUST LOOK AT HIS EYES WHEN HE SMILES. **SPARKLEY**

    He is just a teeny-bopper obsession right now. In my day it was NKOTB. Fuck Yeah NKOTB. I had thier sheets on my bed and taped up the centerfolds from Bop and Tiger Beat on my wall. I’m not ashamed.

    Also – Tiny Fey rocks. She is my idol. Seriously, my biggest dream is to do Weekend Update with Seth Meyers. Someday. I loved the brownie husband and the Tiger/Nike commercial. The golf skit and the teacher skit were funny too….but I think the rest of the skits kinda sucked.

  • Patty

    NKOTB! Step by Step!

    Now that was some talent.

    (and I will not mention who’s face is on one of my pillow cases RIGHT NOW)

    Alright, I really like Justin Bieber. I’ve downloaded a couple of his songs – most recently the collaboration between him and Sean Kingston called Eenie Meenie. The kid is barely 16 and still has a lot of puberty to go through, so I would say people need to withhold judgment for now. I remember when I was 16. I hated me too.

    I’ve had a crush on Tina Fey since back when she first came on SNL. It was mostly the scar on her cheek that did it for me.

  • Kimber

    HA! Nikki, thank you so much for bringing back NKOTB. That can’t be beat ever. I still have the tapes (yes, cassettes!), the clothing, and the doll! Jordan was my guy, and I still have the Jordan doll – rat-tail and all!
