Songs I would never sing at karaoke due to unacceptable mispronunciations, an occasional thread. 1. Natasha Bedingfield - These Words “Hyperbole”

The main issue that its vibe is staying too close to the US original. I mean, even though my entire personality is basically “liking Mean Girls”, I don’t think Tina Fey was a good choice for debut host as it needs to find its own identity, and will be better once it does. #snluk

SNL UK is definitely on a par with the US version, i.e. Weekend Update is the best bit, no-one ever knows how to end a sketch, the audience are the worst, and it is basically fine. #snluk

I bow to no-one in my love for Wet Leg, but this is promoting an album that came out last year, so doesn’t exactly demonstrate a finger on the pulse booking policy. #snluk

Cilla Black, Princess Diana, and a run of catchphrases from pre-millennial sitcoms… For a live, topical sketch show, the references aren’t exactly up to the minute. #snluk

I see the Josh Widdecome impersonation is doing double duty for both Keir Starmer _and_ David Attenborough. #snluk

Oh good. A joke about the Scottish accent being hard to understand.🙄 Nice to know that’s still a thing in 2026. #snluk

The equivalent of the “Live from New York, its Saturday night” shouty thing is even more cringey in the UK version than it is for the US one. And that was already _really_ cringey #snluk

Not sure why they’re doing an impression of Josh Widdecombe for the cold open. #snluk

The cold open for the new Saturday Night Live UK is a lot more football based than I was expecting. #snluk

Robel would clearly rather be doing musical theatre.

Just finished reading - well, listening to - Ruth Crilly’s How Not To Be A Supermodel, a very funny look back at her life as a model in the noughties despite all the, well, everything that was expected of models in the noughties. Would thoroughly recommend!

@fesshole Amazing to find out that gaslighting someone isn’t a successful flirting technique. Whoever could have guessed?

Early 90s, working in IT Support for a national company, I really fancied a girl who worked in the sales department. Ensured her computer would fail every week so I would have to go to her desk and fix it. Did my plan work ? Nope, she hated me.

@fesshole I hope you get exactly the level of respect you deserve for almost - but not actually - winning a medal at the Temu Olympic Games.

I once finished fourth at the Commonwealth Games. I was fucking proud of what I did but the reaction of friends has always been either pity or mocking for missing out on a medal. What's your greatest life achievement Dave? Middle management at B&Q?

Excuse me?!

Amazing to think that it’s possible to get grey, the most basic of all the colours, wrong.

Brian himself was completely oblivious to her disdain, however, and presumably has remained so until the article was published this morning.

Jeanette clearly absolutely _hated_ spending time with Brian for this week’s Guardian Blind Date.

Pleased to confirm that I am still word perfect on the lyrics to Bring It All Back. Amazing that I’m single, really. #totp

I really regret chucking out my collection of S Club 7 dolls during a flat move. I can only imagine how much they’d be worth nowadays. Likely priceless! #totp

Amazing to think that the Cartoons were exactly how people dressed in 1999. Exactly. #totp
