The curious case against Kristen Wiig
Kristen Wiig is everywhere, and I can't take it anymore.
No offense to the woman. She might be a nice person. But I can't take another SNL skit or low-budget, throwaway farce with her face in it. I can't watch a trailer for an Apatow comedy or anything that might even have a few chuckles in it without seeing her face or hearing her voice drop in that low ironic way in which she only knows how to speak.
Just when you thought it was safe to watch a trailer for the new Superbad-esque comedy Adventureland, Wiig shows up in the trailer, pushing me over the edge. That's it. Something needs to be done. I would like to build a case against Kristen Wiig and argue how unfunny she is.
After her "retirement" from Sarah Palin, Tina Fey said that she thought Wiig would be a good contender for future SNL impersonations of the Alaskan V.P. candidate. Really? You be the judge of whether I'm right or wrong. The future of Saturday Night comedy depends on it.
First, I would like to submit exhibit A into evidence of Kristen Wiig NOT BEING FUNNY:
Ladies and Gentleman, Exhibit B:
I don't get it. I didn't laugh once. I only felt uncomfortable, like one feels at amateur comedy clubs when someone is bombing on stage.
So what is it about her? Is she not given good material or am I just lacking a grasp on this style of comedy? Do I need to get on the Wiig Wagon? Did you not laugh once at either of these skits? If you did laugh, I can submit dozens of other tragic examples. Just ask me. I could go all day.

I loved Caitlin too! hahahaha
Maybe a new girl could be Palin. Like Chris Elliot's daughter on the show! She's pretty funny!
I have to agree. She is the most underwhelming performer on SNL I have seen in a while. She may even herald a return
