yes, children, i know we all loved betty white's performance on snl. you know i'm a huge lover of all things golden girls, especially rose, and have appreciated her talent since childhood. but i have to make one slightly predictable debbie downer statement:
isn't this betty white phenomena just a little...overboard?
it's like people ranting and raving about how good a chocolate chip cookie is. they've been around forever, they're a classic treat, no matter what they're in they're always still so, so good, and we look forward to them at all times.
there's no need to be totally gaga just because someone started a trend. the betty white trend. who knew? i've been raving about her for years (yes, i just trumped all of you, total bitch move, i know it well) and have even dedicated a few blog entries to BW. but everybody else? GA GA! no surprise from the gays: gaga over gaga, gaga over white, gaga over glee, gaga over their own reflection. oops!
they love to go gaga.
anyway, betty white gave a solid performance, yes. her comedic timing was as impeccable as ever. and i truly love that she didn't read the teleprompter, too. class act. but at the same time - she's been acting all of her (long) life. her memory is top notch even at the age of...well, we all know her age by now.
in reality, snl was just kind of funny. i must admit that with all of the AMAZING comebacks of snl-yore...i was hoping for much, much, much more and unfortunately it wasn't, well, more than i had hoped.
it was less. it was something, but it was less.
wahh, WAHHHHHHHH.
okay the one hilarious part for me was amy poehler's "really" part when she was commenting on how a manager should of had to approve that billion dollar transaction mistake because she can't pass off a $50 at starbucks without it becoming a 4 man operation. HILARIOUS. i laughed pretty hard. and i of course laughed at everything kristin wigg did and said because she's amazing, always.
at any rate i'm glad betty white was a part of snl, kudos, but yall here's a ryan sumner reality check: that's like saying OH MY GOD CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES ARE DELICIOUS!
uh, we know. we get it.
