Ke$ha on SNL (The Thrilling Conclusion)

Last we left our tone-deaf heroine, she had just successfully pulled off the weirdest tribute to laser tag, Predator, and glow-sticks that anyone has ever seen.  While strangely riveting, it just didn’t show off enough of Ke$ha the performer.  Luckily, earlier in the evening she performed her giant number one hit, “Tik Tok.”  I’m going to warn you now that you should be seated, because there will come a point where she will blow your mind.

Now follow me down into the abyss which is Ke$ha – Part II.

Ke$ha on SNL (Part 1)

It’s not every day that you get to witness an abomination.  No, it’s a rare thing, like a comet shooting across the sky, a classy girl from Piscataway, or a double rainbow.  See, the Ashlee Simpson thing was an isolated incident; she Milli Vanilli-ed her SNL performance but that was more of “she got caught” while others get away with it.  Every now and then you’ll get a musician artist performer person like Ke$ha, who is so astoundingly bad at her job that one has to stop, pause, think to themselves, “holy shit, is this really happening?” and then analyze just how, exactly, someone has come to this point in their lives.   So come, let us analyze Ke$ha’s agonizing performance of “Your Love Is My Drug” on Saturday Night Live, which is more offensive to me than any Sinead O’Connor ever did.

“Potato Chip”

I’ve tried writing about this sketch in a couple different ways.  First, it was going to be about the “last sketch of the night” tradition on Saturday Night Live, and how they’re always weird, and because it’s a bone Lorne throws to the writers after making them write the 45th “Mango” sketch, it’s almost always my favorite.  Then I was going to try and analyze this like my post on the grape lady, analyzing the video point-by-hilarious-point on why this is such an awesome display of comedy. But really, your appreciation of this clip has the same odds as a coin flip.
