I didn't think I was going to enjoy the Benigni monologue but I quickly warmed to it/him. It's really well done (improvised?) and escalates nicely with a handful of funny moments.
I like some SCTV but this clip just took the superficial aspects of great sketch shows like Python and SNL and forgot to make it funny.

I still remember rolling on the floor laughing uncontrollably the first time I saw that Begnini bit. Pre Life is Beautiful he was so over-the-top in just how far he'd go for a joke. The best bit is decribing the lamb's voice. And if it's improvized, all the better - it's pretty amazing how non-stop it is, but it still made me laugh even after all this time.
SCTV is one of the funniest shows ever, but that's far from their best bit, and once you know the premise it offers no surprises. Glad they're here, but disappointed that it's not a better bit. They have dozens - maybe even hundreds - better than that.
An easy A

I was really hoping for some Pingu.
Oh well.

A is wonderful, a tour de force that piles one absurdity onto another. I struggled to maintain interest in B. I've never heard of SCTV so wasn't really sure where it was coming from.

A is the weakest story on 'night on earth' but it raised a smile. unlike B AI thought the Winona Ryder part was the only one that was actually weak. I mean, fucking Gena Rowlands - I know. And Winona was good in it too. Just not much story there, unlike the other four.

I didn't think the Beatrice Dalle Paris one was very good either. In fact only The Begnini and Helsinki ( which I really enjoyed) stories were any good.
