weekend update.

I'm not a huge SNL fan, but after watching Tina Fey's genius for the past couple of months, I've started recording it just for the openers and weekend updates.

And last week's update was great - Seth Meyers literally told four different punchlines for the same setup - you could totally see the writers all sitting around creating one hilarious line after another, and rather than choosing between them they just went for it:

Police in Germany arrested a man with no arms for stealing a television. Man, how lazy are employees when they don't stop a guy from kicking a tv out the door.

Police in Germany arrested a man with no arms for stealing a television. Ah, the old no-finger-discount...

Police in Germany arrested a man with no arms for stealing a television. They said it was an easy arrest, as the suspect was unarmed.
