If you're dumb enough to be running in snowy (and icy) conditions and a news reporter stops you for an interview, you should do one of two things: 1) do the interview and emphasize about how much of a doofus you are for running in such hazardous conditions or 2) tell that news lady to kick rocks and continue your inevitable path to cold, winter hell. This couple did neither and paid the costly price.

BEST OF SNL MUSIC VIDEOS (FALL SEASON '13)
Hey!
I told y'all I'd be back here more often. Don't look so surprised, sucka.
My busy schedule (which really isn't that busy but I say that because it makes me feel important) doesn't allow me to watch too much TV. With 'The Office' (one of my fav shows ever) ending its run recently, I've been left with even fewer options.
One mainstay has been Saturday Night Live, which the cool kids simply refer to as SNL. Been watching the show for years. However, SNL hit a complete slump about 2-3 years back. Frankly, it was painful to watch. The shame was there was tons of talent on the show. Kristen Wiig, Jason Sudeikis, Bill Hader... all potential stars who struggled making the sub-par material laughable. And to make matters worse, they all bolted before the summer.
That left SNL in complete rebuilding mode. Safe to say, my expectations for this season were not particularly high. Halfway through the season, amazingly, the show has found its mojo again. The writers deserve a bulk of the credit, as they have kept things simple when in past seasons, it just seemed like they were trying too hard. Also, SNL has hit home runs with a lot of their hosts. From expected funnyman Paul Rudd to surprisingly humorous Edward Norton, the celebs visiting for the week have held their own.
One painful omission that left once Andy Samberg took his talents to 'Brooklyn Nine Nine' was their mock music videos. Whether it was the Lonely Island-assisted 'Jizz In My Pants' to the memorable Justin Timberlake holiday duet 'Dick In A Box', these clips were generally great successes. This season, SNL seemed to put some focus on this much-needed element and, just like in the Samberg days, knocked it out the park.
Here are the three that stood out. I've watched each of these clips way too many times, but I know they're good because I'm not sick of them yet. Which is the funniest? I'll let you decide... but these videos deserved to be highlighted here.
'Twin Bed' (feat. Jimmy Fallon)
OK, I think this one is my favorite. This clip made me realize that A) I don't hate Jimmy Fallon nearly as much as I thought. B) I don't hate him at all. C) Actually, I think I love him a little. And D) I am oddly attracted to all of the female SNL cast members. I especially have a thing for that sexy Cecily Strong. I don't know what it is about her. She's not the prettiest out the bunch but something about her makes me go aaaahhhooooggggaaaa!
'Boy Dance Party' (feat. Bruce Willis)
If there was a dud on this season, it might've been the Bruce Willis episode. This one video salvaged some of it, though. Even though he's past his prime, when you get a star as big as Bruce to dance around foolishly, laughter will ensue. Biggest reason I love this clip: This is how 97% of my bro gatherings end up going. And yes, I am the one usually swinging that sack.
What Does My Girl Say? (feat. Kerry Washington)
If you read my 'Favorite 40 Songs of 2013' blog, you know that I absolutely loved Ylvis' 'The Fox' song. Totally ridiculous but freakin' hilarious. So you could imagine my joy when SNL decided to mock this already insane song and add the yummy-licious Kerry Washington to the mix. We all win.
Here's hoping SNL continues it's hot streak when they return on January 18th. It would be no shock if they attempt another one of these as the host (and musical guest) is Drake.

Kevin Hart SNL
I'm a big Kevin Hart fan. Hilarious dude. Love 'Real Husbands of Hollywood'. Brilliant stuff.
Knowing that now, you could imagine how excited I was to hear that he would be hosting SNL. I was hoping that the show's inconsistent writing would be insignificant because Kevin would be able to turn any shit they put down on paper into comedy gold.
Boy, was I wrong. Another lackluster episode that was unfunny enough that I think it hurts Kevin's sky high stock a lil. In a lot of instances, you could tell Kevin was over-compensating for the lack of material he was given, causing him to look uncharacteristically uncomfortable. Just not a good look.
For some reason, the show's best skits were left for the very end. If you missed the show, I will post the two clips that tried, but ultimately failed to salvage the night. Still a big Kevin Hart fan (and you'll see why below) but the show was terribly underwhelming.
