Andy Samberg - Gets threatened by Mark Wahlberg (Mark Talks to Andy)

Mark Wahlberg Backstage



Mark Wahlberg talks to Andy...





So Mark Wahlberg's appearance on Jimmy Kimmel was a setup for this skit. I'm not sure who instigated this, but it certainly seemed that Mark's attitude had changed from previous interviews of "It wasn't funny" to "I'm going to kill Andy Samberg."

Check out Mark Wahlberg on the Jimmy Kimmel show:

My guess is that Marci Kline thought of it (or someone like Andy or the Lonely Island dudes mentioned the idea to Marci Kline), and then she called up Mark Wahlberg and sold it to him. I think she then handed it over to the SNL writers who basically wrote a very SNLy skit where Mark denounced the impression whilst re-enacting the impression. And then, Andy probably threw in his gags of his fear of Mark Wahlberg.

This is cute and mostly a solid publicity stunt for Mark Wahlberg, Andy Samberg, and SNL in general. However, this is not nearly as funny as the skit itself Andy did two weeks ago that caused this contravery. Check it out...

Andy Samberg is Mark Wahlberg Talking to Animals:

This "Mark Wahlberg talks to Andy" skit includes appearances by Amy Poehler, Josh Brolin, Kenan Thompson, and a donkey while Mark essentially recreates the skit whilst saying the impression was way off.

"Sure. Sure. It's big and beautiful." The audience didn't laugh, but I thought that was funny!

"Never again, okay?" Aw, come on! Andy has to do the impression again, especially after all this publicity that came as a result of it!!!

Also, this makes Andy out to be a total wimp (acting scared, not making eye contact, trying to excuse the skit as "silly," running away, etc.). Come on, Andy, Mark Wahlberg hasn't been buff for 10 years! You could take him! Especially with the donkey.


Enjoy!
