67. "not a wire parody but the lazy & pointless shootout at the end" In response to Reply # 4
actually creates a better space for calling it "wire in 2015" than snl's original framing, which is just- "random black guys that also are murderous felons"
there were 2 "black sketches" on the whole show (this and the rapper in the studio) and both involved black ppl getting shot at the end

75. "they had to throw people off" In response to Reply # 12
i'm pretty sure i know that block and its technically on the border of ridgewood/bushwick but still a mostly quiet neighborhood
i think it was mostly an effort from blowing the spot up from tourists, SNL fandom and instagramming folks

the store itself is also the size of a closet so while artisanal mayo isn't what i'd expect to be there that's about all you can fit in there
i've also never been by when it's actually open. they keep limited hours
and Sam Mason is doing it right. he had a failed resto and was like 'eff this. i'm going to sell artisanal mayo and ice cream (OddFellows in Wburg) and get paid'.
55. "lol @ don't believe in mayo" In response to Reply # 54 Tue Jan-20-15 10:25 AM by teefiveten
i like mayo but you can make it yourself for pennies. even with fancy ingredients
this is getting more attention that it should b/c he's got a brick and mortar. but it's not like it's some vast mayo emporium. the spot is tiny. if it wasn't mayo they'd be selling some other wackadoo ish in there. or it would be like a taxi dispatch
57. "nah. i live so close to vanderbilt but when its cold" In response to Reply # 56
i rarely venture over there. too far to walk when it's freezing. which sucks because chuko ramen is the perfect thing to eat when it's that cold. lol.
it's pretty warm this week so i should venture over there. i don't like most of the spots on vanderbilt honestly. mainly because of the prices and the food isn't that impressive. like that R&D 606 place or whatever it's called. i basically only fool w/ Chuko, Vanderbilt (not cheap but I always enjoy the food-the pork belly w/ the grits!), Le Gamin and Mitchell's for an old school diner breakfast
58. "i dont leave bed stuy if i dont have to LOL" In response to Reply # 57
it's sad but it's real i had to go to atlantic center the other day i was so annoyed it aint even far but still... i'll have to try chuko...i hadnt thanks
the food on vanderbilt isnt good at all i used to go for ice cream but i'd rather trek to oddfellows now the hubs likes pequena for breakfast for some reason but luckily he hasnt mentioned them in a while im trying to keep it all stuy all the time LOL gonna make my way to emelines soon, so happy to possibly not have to travel for breakfast decent enough reviews

31. "Yes, that would have helped" In response to Reply # 30
It needed a stinger or a tag or something. a grunt, crazier eyes, something. Kevin with a Mayonnaise Boutique bag on ( Apple Store backpack type bag.)
Still not sold on Kevin Hart - I think he's pretty bland. He's kind of always "rushing" things. If he'd slow down a little more I might connect a little more.
Didn't like the rap song at the end either - great concept, but the execution that could have been better. Maybe if the hook got shorter as it went on? It's the difference between an okay sketch and a best of sketch.
Except the James Brown sketch - he nailed that one.
I was kinda shocked when I saw zero skinny jeans in Williamsburg and all the skinny jeans in Bushwick. Went to a dive bar there and it reminded me of Dallas :/
62. "still pretty polish. its probably not going to look like bedford ave" In response to Reply # 61
ever
but they have restaurants and bars that are edging out some of the old businesses just like everywhere else. and im sure some renters got screwed but it's hard to tell b/c it was always pretty white. lol.
its still pretty much a family neighborhood and i think once they saw that williamsburg turned into a campus for throw up drunks they were like hell no
and i dont blame em
bushwick by the factorys is still throw up drunks party town unfortunately ridgewood is holding out like greenpoint coincidentally also polish landlords
but there really is a difference in the neighborhoods in actual houses (history of strong community reps) vs converted factory spaces and how bad the kids think they can trash it cause trust they are grafitii- ng spaces like its still the 80s and sometimes i'm like why? thats was a perfectly nice building take the bridge for example perfectly nice bridge fixed up nicely but no the kids messed it up ~~~~ When you are born, you cry, and the world rejoices.

especially over by the grand ave stop i think there were/are some factories/distribution centers for restaurants and stuff. there's one dumpling "factory" i liked to visit
i mean there's def asians now b/c of gentrification but as far as old nyc chinese there are/were some there
72. "there was a small korean comm as well" In response to Reply # 52
