These cold opens have been terrible. Stop trying to cram 9 people and all these guest spots into 8 minutes.

I lost it at Joe Biden putting on a cardigan, singing the Mr. Roger's theme song, and the camera cutting to the audience singing along with blankets and warm milk. xD

I only watched this cold open because people on Twitter are offended by Jim Carrey’s impersonation of Joe Biden.

Really? After watching the clip, I think that Jim Carrey is good at playing Biden. Sure, Jim’s personality bleeds into the role. And yeah, Joe Biden isn’t that manic. But I can definitely see traits of Biden throughout Carrey’s performance.

I agree that the other actors who are better at playing Joe Biden. That being said, SNL’s jokes about Biden have been relatively tame. It’s seems that the people who are outraged on Twitter are just annoyed at the slightest criticism against Biden (and Democrats in general).

Really don't think Carrey plays a good Biden. He's just playing himself in Biden makeup.

Jim Carrey plays Biden well.

That was pretty bad. I didn’t laugh once. Jim Carrey as Biden is pretty bad because as funny as these “Biden is losing his mind” jokes are, he’s not THAT forgetful. I’m also kinda tired of Baldwin’s Trump at this point. This was just very unfunny.

I like Jim's version of Biden. It's zany and yet somehow manages to still evoke some Biden stuff in there. It's a lot more funny than any other version we've had. Glad they didn't let go of the woman in the background during the Trump town hall. When I finally watched the real thing on my dvr, I was hoping SNL would throw some shade to that shady person.

Do the writers of SNL know that no one is entertained by this shit? Donnie dipshit is a caricature of a human being and you can't satirize him because everything that comes out of his mouth is patently idiotic. The season premiere was decent, but the subsequent two weeks have been tired, slow and so very unfunny.
