    I was going to say this. I don't get how people think it's funny anymore.

    I tried really hard to watch it until the second Black Keys set, but I just couldn't.

    It was like I could feel my brain cells getting increasingly necrotic with every skit.

    I don't get the whole fascination with the Khardashian family. I don't get that at all.

    I'm still confused as to who that family actually is. I've seen them....but not sure how they got famous...or ever seen them do anything besides be in photographs?

    Jim Carey. What is the big deal? I'm watching him right now on "Saturday Night Live" and...

    I
    Just
    Don't
    Get
    It.

    What is the big attraction?

    Please explain, and then share what you Just Don't Get.

    Go.


    Jim Carey the former Hockey goalie and Vezina trophy winner hosted SNL or do you mean Jim Carrey? That's who i saw last night, ;)

    Seriously I like him in a few things. Loved him in In Living Color. Eternal Sunshine was great. Liked him in 40 Year Old Virgin and Liar Liar. However I didn't like Dumb and Dumber, The Mask, and ace Ventura. Heard he was good in Man On The Moon and The Truman Sho, but I never saw them

    Probably my fav Jim Carrey moment :lol:

    I didn't know Jim Carrey was in 40 Year Old Virgin?

    And I have to agree that because of him, Dumb and Dumber is THE funniest movie of all time. Nuff said.

    It's been bad for a while, but it had many glory years. Early on with Jim Belushi and the early 90s with Adam Sandler and Chris Farley.

    It can have it's glory again, they just need funnier people and better writers.

    I'm not a big fan of "juvenile" humour either, but for some reason Jim Carrey cracks me up all the time. Maybe partially because it seems he's made of rubber. I don't know. But I enjoy him. One of the only actors in existence that I can appreciate in both comedies and dramas.

    I don't get Tom Cruise. :? Or vegemite. Who would willingly eat something that smells like death :shock:

    Vegemite is awesome. It is it's own food group - very good for you, and tastes awesome too - yes, I have been known to eat it straight from the jar on occasion. BUT, I will grant you it does seem to be an acquired taste. I have yet to meet anyone who was born in Australia who doesn't like it - I'm sure those people exist, but I haven't met them - and it's usually one of a child's staple foods here - vegemite on toast, or vegemite sandwiches. It's great in meatloaf, and casseroles, and other dishes, can cure coldsores, and is also great for freaking out Americans, haha! ;) A useful tip for non vegemitans is to start slowly - put a very very small amount on a piece of bread AFTER buttering, then work your way up to slathering it on. But seriously, it's like our national food - it's awesome - what's not to get?

    But I'm with you on the whole not getting Tom Cruise thing. He doesn't do anything for me personally.

    My husband sent me some back when he was still in Oz - as soon as I opened the package I smelled something horrid and thought he must be a terrorist. :lol: I tried to give some to my cat who eats everythingand she ran away. :? :lol: But he is an Aussie through and through so we have a bunch stocked in the house. But he's not allowed to kiss me unless he brushes his teeth thoroughly after eating it...twice :lol: It's a taste you have to be born for I think...you just can't acquire one for that stuff.

    I don't get Cameron Diaz, dreadfully overated creature. Carey I find him quite funny at times.

    That's right, CBG! Don't let anyone tell you different. I divorced my ex aussie wife because she tried to feed that shit to me one time... Unconditional love, my ass. No vegemite!

    SNL has a great cast right now and this year has been good so far. Jim Carrey was hilarious. I don't get how you don't get it. But we're not all going to laugh at the same stuff.
