SNL Digital Short: A Couple of Homies



Two good friends take it to the next level.

Fred Armisen
Will Forte
Andy Samberg



I believe this one is several months old and didn't make the cut. But my guess is that Andy and Fred thought it was still funny so they kept pushing on it until it got through.

I can see why they didn't think it was funny. It looks like Will Forte wrote it. Will has had some hilarious songs, but this isn't one of them.

Unfortunately, you can't help but compare each Digital Short to the great Andy Samberg shorts from the past, and this one falls short.


Gilly

Every class has a special student.

Rosario Dawson ... Cindy
Will Forte ... Mr. Dillon
Bobby Moynihan ... Liam
Kenan Thompson ... Sam Jeffers
Kristen Wiig ... Gilly

Kristen Wiig pulls out another classic character. Go Kristen!!! Kristen, you should write more dual characters that you can dow with other cast members (like your A-holes characters).

The pencils bit was too disturbing.

Kristen Wiig ... Judy Grimes
Andy Samberg ... Larry The Goose

Update: Judy Grimes

Update's travel correspondent is totally just kidding.

Hahahaha! Andy Samberg is hilarious as Larry the Goose!!! He really cracks up Seth. Why does he make so many references? Because he's got Netflix, that's why!!!

Jason Sudeikis ... Caller (voice)
Kenan Thompson ... Robert Cyclone
Kristen Wiig ... Host


Update: Ann Coulter

WEB EXCLUSIVE: Ann Coulter stops by for a chat with Seth.



Similar to Andy's Rahm character a few episodes ago, my guess is that Michaela's take on Ann was too harsh for NBC to want to air it. Fortunately, we do get these bits as Web exclusives.


Overall: Hmmm. I wasn't really into this episode. The only parts I loved were Judy Grimes (always impressive) and Andy Samberg's awesome goose. Go Andy! Next time, give us a solid Digital Short instead (I'm still waiting for a music video parody of Britney Spear's work).

Enjoy!
