He acted out a lot of lines, played different characters and got his female fan crowd screaming for him throughout the show -- love it or hate it -- kept the pulse of the show going.
Bieber's Monologue: Just a perfect, coincidental and easy opening for Bieber. He's a heartthrob with the girls, and he happens to host SNL around on Valentines day.
You can tell those girls who part of the monologue were real fans, and not actresses. I noticed how deeply they were breathing with Bieber holding their hand.
Then at the ending with Whoopie Goldberg being his Valentine, was cute.
The Californians: What makes the "Californians" so great and funny, the combination of sounding like a goofy Vally person, and the cheesiness of a soap opera.
Bieber looked good with blonde hair. Although, you can tell it was a wig. And that's rare, because if you watch SNL daily, you know how authentic they make wigs look. It's amazing work to whoever does them.
Bill Harder ending the skit with multiple face shots was made for him to break character. Lol. They know he'll have trouble keeping a serious face.
Glice: (Gl-Ice) Meaning a person being glad and/or nice at the same time.
Synonym: Content.
Didn't Taran Killam look like his McDonalds character "Andrew" (which you can see a poster photo of, in my wall background).
Taran and Jason Sudekis are big dudes. They look like a tag-team. I met Sudekis in person once and he was about 6'3; which I was shocked how tall he was, and Taran looks about the same.
This is the genius of SNL writers. They pick up on the littlest things people do, and make it big.
It's not annoying when people do this, or talk to us like this, it's just funny seeing it made fun off.
The SNL writers bringing in the most real human actions -- like this -- will give the viewers something to allude with their friends, about other friends and co-workers. It's a perfect sketch for that early 30's demographic.
"The one black that's in every commercial" -- fucking hilarious.
Keenan Thompson seriously looks like a black guy one of those T-Mobile commercials. Again - SNL making the little things bigger than what they seem.
I would guess this would have to be favorite skit, since they didn't post the "Stand-by Biebers" video on NBC.com, with Bobby Moyihan dancing his ass off. Thanks a lot, assholes.
Now I have to talk about this skit, which I couldn't stand and really wanted to avoid - lol. But I have to talk about it because Cecily Strong was a big part of it, and wanted to avoid it because I had to see Bieber play lovey-dovey with her. It's disgusting! Lol.
They couldn't pick any other girl, but they had to pick Cecily! Unbelievable...
