SNL’s Dead Poet’s Society Parody [SNL Rewind]
Last night wrapped up Saturday Night Live's 41st season! While overall I thought it was a pretty good season, I definitely think that the show went on a bad note. I'm not terribly surprised, as the show was hosted by my all-time LEAST favorite cast member in history, Fred Armisen. I don't know what it is about Fred that bothers me. When I hear him interviewed or in spontaneous interactions, I don't dislike the guy. But throughout history on SNL, even when the rest of the audience is laughing at Fred, I stare at the screen confused because I just never find him funny.
Combine that with a musical guest I've never heard of and thought was really annoying (Courtney Barnett?) and it was a pretty lousy way to wrap up a season. But hey, it wasn't all bad. This parody of "Dead Poet's Society" called "Farewell, Mr. Bunting" has a huge laugh in it. It takes a few minutes to get there, but it's worth the wait I assure you. See for yourself below!
