When do you think it stopped being funny?

Season 39 - It didn't take long to notice the quality of the show had departed. It wasn't just me that noticed, by the end of the season the ratings plummeted and haven't really recovered since.

Right on WEstEndNiceGuy. These discussions make me puke. I have been watching SNL since the beginning (I'm 68) and it has always been funny. If you don't get the humor then it is your fault. It is like the idiots who complain that the new music sucks and the only good music was made when they were 17 years old. Get over yourself.

Yep, if the shows has twelve sketches a night on average maybe four hit, three miss and five are somewhere between. I enjoy it but I can't think of any program that is more improved by on demand viewing. Also, asking about when the show changed implies that there's a through line which in some ways is accurate but not the complete picture. For example there aren't any actors on the show currently as good as Ferrell but Che is the best weekend update host in the last decade by a pretty wide margin and Mooney and his crew are the best filmmakers to be on the show in awhile.

It has never stopped being funny. I am 44, and having been watching it as long as I can remember. I have watched religiously since the 81-82 season. I watched it before that if I was up late with my parents too. It has had its ups and downs some sketches are a hit, some are a miss. It is one show I have never given up on. If I didn't think it was funny, I would not be watching. And if I was not watching, I sure as hell wouldn't be hanging out on the SNL board.

The show stopped being funny after Wiig, Hader, Sudeikis, Armisen, and Meyers all left and were replaced by the unfunny Kyle Mooney, Sasheer Zamata and Colin Jost. Also, the writing started getting much worse around that time, so acutally funny castmembers like Taran Killam, Kate McKinnon, Bobby Moynihan and Jay Pharoah couldn't keep the show funny all the time.
