SNL 10/17/09 - Gerard Butler and Shakira

Updated: Added the full episode and the promo videos. Originally posted 10/18/09.
=================================

Andy Samberg wasn't in this episode???

What's an Andy Samberg blog to do??? =^(

Cry, I guess.


Full Episode:




Here's the deal. I'm not sure if Andy was up to something else (preparing for an album, preparing for the Taylor Swift episode, or maybe just taking a break?)... but Andy had two full episodes in a row, and we know he's going to be a big hitter in the coming Taylor Swift episode. So we can understand if they wanted to devote this episode to showing off some hilariously manly skits... including:

- The Rock Obama (he's back)

- Ninjas and Warriors (the monologue)

- Beauty and the Beast

- 2 gay military guys

- 300 (I knew they'd do it)

- Daveheart


So kudos for them finally doing some hilariously manly skits (and squishing them all in one episode like that). I'm not sure how that happened, but maybe Gerard just pointed to all the manly action skits and said, "I like those." Maybe something like that.

Just as an example of how "manly" this episode was, Bobby Moynihan was in five sketches. In three of them, he was "a warrior." And in one he was Cogsworth. (Then he also did a voice.)

Here are the individual clips...


Promo with Gerard Butler and Will Forte




Promo with Gerard Butler, Jason Sudeikis, and Shakira



Hahaha. Jason's pretty funny!


Cold Opening: The Rock Obama

Dwayne Johnson ... The Rock Obama
Fred Armisen ... Barack Obama
Will Forte ... Mitch McConnell
Bill Hader ... Max Baucus
Nasim Pedrad ... Katie
Jenny Slate ... Olympia Snowe
Jason Sudeikis ... Joseph Biden



Unfortunately, although I found this funny, I feel like they have to resort to gimicks like this to make Fred Armisen's Obama sketches funny. Fred just isn't willing to make fun of Obama the way Jason does with Biden, Darryl Hammond did with Bill Clinton, Amy did with Hilary, Tina Fey did with Palin, Will Ferrell did with George W, and Dana Carvey did with George Sr.

Second round for "The Rock Obama" skit.

Very bummed about no Andy, that being said, this entire episode was absolutely hilarious! Gerard was great! Also, The What's Up with That?! Skit had me laughing into hysterics. Kenan has made me laugh much more this season then he ever has (great!) and the background dancing, especially Jason, was too funny! I hope they keep pulling out all of the stops, this really has been a great season so far.

Anony,

Agreed. They did a good job pulling out funny sequel skits and sticking with skits that really plug into culture more than usual. I can't help but feel that Bobby Moynihan is helping ignite that with his writing.

any guesses on who was the voice of the baloon?
because i think it might have been andy. i can't quite say, what do you think?

Ed Price said...

Anony2,

Definitely not Andy Samberg's voice. I have no idea. My best guess is Bill Hader (because he has some amazing voices and could totally do this voice).

Thanks!

Yeah I also wonder why Andy was absent from this episode. I was bummed about that!
