"Was Maya Rudolph ever really that funny?"

This clip got me questioning why I ever found her funny. Bridemaids was a classic and she had her moments on SNL. But I can't remember a hilarious character she played on SNL. Beyonce? Versace? Oprah? All of these were one-note and overrated. Besides Bridemaids what did she do that was hot? Nothing stands out to me. Some of these SNL women get graded a generous curve.

I only asked if she was that funny. Seems like all her sketches had to do with singing or making a one-note weird voice. She wasn't that funny and that's fine.

she's one of my favourites from SNL, I think she's incredible. Bronx Beat and this Whitney Houston sketch really kills me for some reason:

who though you have to say was really talented....the mama's family character..and she had a hit record as a singer too.... everyone on Carol Burnett's show was like crazy talented...

Maya's cool though...she didn't get too many chances to shine on SNL but she was super versatile...
