I'm sure someone will provide a counterpoint but I've never found Armisen funny. I'm sure he has talent, but the way he's utilised is just 'he has weird face/voice' and will give awkward answers silences.
Him and Kristin Wiig I find unfunny on an existential level. Like, it makes me angry at the universe that these completely unfunny people have managed to make very successful careers out of doing "comedy."
Keeping Fred Armisen as Obama even when Jay Pharoah was on the cast was ridiculous
fucking donald glover auditioned for the role and they chose armisen over him
Did Glover a favor.
i mean yeah, but donald glover is actually funny

His bit in Parks n Rec is gold.
where he showed up with Venezuelan military officers as the one in charge?
Yes. Its stupid politics, but the delivery is great.
I loved the sketch where he was a Brit Punk rocker who loved Margaret Thatcher
Pharoah sucks though
