Taylor Lautner Tries to Roundhouse Kick Kanye on SNL

Taylor Lautner  hosted SNL last night, and as a bookend to Taylor Swift’s opening monologue last month, boy Taylor also decided to take a stab at Kanye West….

…And it was the lamest lame of lame lameness ever, and I’m a little angry at all of you for liking Taylor Lautner so much and indirectly forcing me to watch that.

  • this kid bores me to fucking tears. i really don’t get what all the fuss is about.
    and i can’t tell if it’s lautner riding swift’s coattails, or if the SNL writing staff is so hard up for material that they just keep beating a dead fucking horse.

    • I’m going to go with the latter. SNL totally sucks these days. Over the weekend, my Mom and I watched the best of the late 1970’s SNL, and it’s amazing to see how truly awful it has become. It’s morphed into something terrible, unfortunately. It was once something fantastic…

  • I’m pretty sure that was just T-Lautner just trying to show off his ass-kicking, back-flipping, jumping, skills, which I must admit were damn pretty impressive, but the actual script during that part was not so great.

    Really he should have just stopped it after the Matthew McConaughey joke, because that was fucking funny.

  • well, the kids career is not in comedy. i think he did alright with the script he had. stick to staying shirtless, taylor.

  • I don’t think that was as lame as you made it out to be. Age appropriate. He’s a kid. Everyone is so jaded, blase, and unimpressed these days that nothing is good enough anyway. That was one cool back flip. Used to do them as a kid into the pool. Aaah, to be young and unafriad of a spinal cord injury.

  • have any of you ever gone on SNL where you have to do a monologue in front of thousands of viewers at home? yeah..i dont think so. he was amazing in front of the camera and he was more confident than any of you idiots are

      • yeah, i love the plethora of comments on here goin’ “YOU GUYS HAVE NO IDEA WHAT THESE PEOPLE HAVE TO DEAL WITH, BLAH BLAH BLAH” seriously? these people are rich & livin’ a freakin’ *charmed* life because of their profession, so they better deliver to us common folk a FANTASTIC product. we keep them afloat. give us somethin’ goooooooood.
        so many half-ass talentless tards in the industry these days, i swear……………….

    • actually, I HAVE. Have YOU?? Yeah, janblan, I don’t think so. He’s an actor, he’s SUPPOSED to be confident in front of a camera. It’s our JOB. Don’t give him credit b/c he’s some punk young kid who can deliver lines (that he didn’t even write) in front of a room full of people. It’s not like he can see the thousands of viewers at home. And he’s not improvising or writing. it’s like saying “OMG he was able to act in a movie that was viewed by millions of people without freaking out!”

      • Thanks for that, anonymous. I can’t tell you how annoying it is when people seem to think that the only way it is acceptable to judge something is if you’ve done it yourself (I can only imagine what these people have to say about professional critics. Eesh!). Of course the majority of us have not had to deliver a monologue to a live audience, but that doesn’t give Taylor Lautner an excuse to suck at it. (I’m not saying he did or he didn’t, because honestly I’m too lazy to watch the video. I just like to see what the commenters have to say sometimes.)

  • The Matthew M. joke was funny. It would have been funnier if he had come out in a wet t shirt or something; made fun of the obsession women have with him. I think everyone is over the Kanye thing.

  • SNL was lame overall last night. Bon Jovi was good but I tuned out a third of the way in. Taylor the boy is not a looker and not very entertaining, so I have no idea what all the fuss is about either.

    • THANK YOU!!! I feel the exact same way. Makes me truly miss the days of Gilda Radner, Chevy Chase, and John Belushi….

  • I’m channeling Wendy: Get. Over. It.

    On a side note, I can’t stand performance “martial artists” like him. Dancer would be a better term.

    • He missed the head on the mannequin twice and finally had to knock it off with his arm. Not that I could do any better, but it’s like the writers just went, “Ah well…we’re out of ideas and this kid can’t deliver comedy, so let’s just have him do some punches and talk about how he’s dating Taylor Swift.”

      • Kelly, I believe that what we have here is a failure to communicate. My barb was aimed at him, not you. As in, the Taylors need to get over the Kanye event.

        “it was the lamest lame of lame lameness ever”

        We’re in complete agreement. Can we still be friends?

  • I never understood the Taylor obsession but I must admit I was impressed by his backflip. Sorry, but I have never seen anyone else do that in their SNL monologue. And that stick thing-wow! It’s rare that SNL monologues are hysterical. Most are lame. The three cheaters/Tiger skit really sucked, and that opened the show. I did think that there were some funny skits last night.

  • I don’t know why I torment myself by tuning into SNL almost every Saturday night. I guess I keep hoping I’ll get maybe one laugh out of it. One of the major problems I have with many of the skits is that they do not know when to quit with a gag. A good example was on this episode in the one they did where Kristin Wiig (the cast spaz) plays the aunt who can’t keep a surprise to herself. That skit was about 5 minutes in length — about 4 minutes longer than it should have been (Hint: Listen to the audience during this one and see if you can catch a mild or nervous chuckle or two.).This show suffers from two main problems: 1) It should be 60 minutes, instead of 90 minutes, 2) The writers are horribly unimaginative. Combine these two factors together to create a scenario where the producers and writers are incapable of filling that time slot with any quality entertainment and you have an almost guaranteed complete disaster. The only saving grace is Weekend Update, and that has become hit and miss. Many are asking where are the good ol’ days of SNL from the 70’s through 90’s…hell, I settle for some MAD TV.

  • LOL……………….. me and my sister watched this vid and thout wtf? Theres nothing more excating then a happy little gay dude trying to fight a mannequin ha ha . This is kinda weird… I am a very huge fan of kanye west and i belive that jus kicking a head off a mannequin is actually going to only cause more drama so i only have to words for you TAYLOR FAGNER! FUCKKKKKK YOUUUU!=D
