VIDEO: Taylor Swift on the scourge that is bad parent drivers
Taylor Swift hosts Saturday Night Live - Click above to watch the video
Allow us to make a couple admissions. It's our opinion that with the notable exception of Celebrity Jeopardy, Saturday Night Live hasn't been funny since Belushi. Before she got upstaged by an apparently off-his-meds Kanye West, we thought Taylor Swift was a dry cleaner. That said, it's understandable that we had extremely low hopes (like, none) for a SNL sketch involving the young Miss Swift to be watchable, let alone funny.
But guess what? Us old dudes was wrong, way wrong! She's not only funny, but apparently installed a camera in our little sister's bedroom circa 1991. Talk about the perfect ensconced in misery, unhappy to be alive 15-year-old girl. And her reaction to the dangers of driving during the birds and the bees speech, well, just watch for yourself, after the jump.

You need to watch more SNL then. I know its cool to hate new SNL episodes but they still have plenty of funny skits.

The Chris Farley, Adam Sandler, Rob Schnieder, and Mike Meyers stuff from the late 80's early 90's was the best by far!!!!

And this isn't really funny.
I know its cool to hate but its really the truth. Golden years were tim meadows, ferrel, etc. Now its just no-names. I mean the dude from 'keenan and kell' is on snl? Give me a break you young whipper snappers!

Since Autoblog is on the internets, and thus reaches a worldwide audience, wouldn't it be more prudent of you guys to use a video service that allows itself to be viewed by said worldwide audience? Just sayin'...

Thing is, they used the source that they grabbed the video from.
It would expose them to legal trouble if they rehosted the video without permission.

It's a network copyright issue. But there's a 2nd-gen copy here:

There's a YouTube version but it's crappy visuals...some dude recording it off his monitor. I like how they made her look so short in the car, considering she's 5'11".

If you need a Canadian link Global's got you covered (if this doesn't work outside of Canada I'm sorry but at least there will be an irony about the name).

Also I must say that while I found Swifts performance in almost every other sketch unwatchable, I have to say I have enjoyed SNL these past years (I believe its in its '5th golden age') and the cast (Fred Armisen, Will Forte, Bill Hader, Seth Meyers, Andy Samberg, Jason Sudeikis, Kenan Thompson, and my personal favorite: Kristen Wiig) is top notch

Indeed. Hulu is saying Im not American enough... they might have a point there.
Anyway, Autoblog has had no issue with posting Top Gear scenes before so...

Driving while Kanye West:
"I'm gonna let you finish your left turn but first I gotta drive through this red light and LiL John threw one of the best parties of all time!!!"

I understand it's an autoblog and all, but you guys really hadn't heard of Taylor Swift before the MTV awards?

I imagine most people over the age of 15 don't really care much about the latest Disney sock puppets.
