Sadly they didn't actually have Hader on this time but when they were live he would have a good grasp of Lindsey's various mannerisms and facial expressions. Sure, not the funniest sketch they've ever done, but for an LB fan the fact he had clearly studied the real character along with the idea that LB being shut out of speaking had a certain humor to it.
No, I GOT it. I thought the entire thing was just stupid.

I read comments from "average Joe's" on FB that are funnier than that skit. For me, it was far more annoying than funny.
