I don't think they're all that close, but there is a slight coincidence here of stupid comedy style and costume. So I chalk it up to coincidence. There aren't too many jokes out there that someone else isn't also using cuz they thought of it independently.
But see if you agree with Alex...
Its Always Sunny On SNL
Saturday Night Live returned from hiatus last night, with Tina Fey as Sarah Palin (as Lorne Michaels wanted) and Michael Phelps hosting.
Still, there was one skit—this week’s digital short—that gave me a sense of déjà vu. I couldn’t quite put my finger on it until this morning.
The short features Andy Samberg, singing a song about the 3022 “Space Olympics.” Yeah, it is pretty funny, if not bizarre.
I couldn’t shake the feeling that I had seen Samberg’s look, his costume, hair, and voice, somewhere before. It hit me a little while ago. Electric Dream Machine.
See for yourself, below is last night’s digital short (courtesy NBC via Hulu), and a clip of Electric Dream Machine from Its Always Sunny in Philadelphia (courtesy FX via Hulu). Be advised, Its Always Sunny probably isn’t for kiddies.

So, what do you think? I think Alex has been watching this Sunny show too much.
