Gotta hand it to SNL for occasionally posting a quality Digital Short (I would say Andy Samberg has about a 50% success rate with these). I was impressed by this short because it was pretty subtle and on Hulu.com, the word “Jizz” is excluded from the title (objectionable content).
This digital short is a parody of a Pet Shop Boys song called West End Girls.
Interestingly enough, this was also recently parodied by my all time favorite Kiwi band; Flight of the Conchords.
(I have to give credit to Amir from Jake and Amir for turning me on to the similarities in his Being Famous blog)
Last week Mark Wahlberg was on Jimmy Kimmel live and he reacted to the Mark Wahlberg Talks to Animals sketch on SNL two Saturday’s ago. He seemed pretty pissed on Kimmel about the whole situation (which is understandable, but sort of ridiculous at the same time), and mentions that he wanted to punch Samberg in his big nose. Here is the clip.
Well, he must have been given a stern “talking to” by his publicist after that appearance, because he was on SNL this weekend, and actually did a good job of showing a sense of humor on the show. Way to turn a negative into a positive Marky Mark! He even got a few Max Payne plugs in!
My favorite line:
“Josh Brolin. You were in the Goonies movie, right? I produce Entourage. Say hello to your mother for me”
OK, so I”m a little late on this one, but it’s still worth showing (especially because of this week’s response from Markey Mark). Here is Andy Samberg’s impression of Mark Wahlberg talking to animals. I’d say it’s fairly accurate! Marky Mark was not very happy, though, and took offense (more on this in another post), which lead to him appearing on SNL this week in a pretty funny follow up.
