Say hi to your mother for me, okay?
Aw, look who doesn’t have a sense of humor about himself. Good old Mark Mark (formerly of the Funky Bunch) has been in too many Academy Award-nominated movies and has produced too many Emmy-award winning television shows and lost his ever-lovin’ sense of humor in the process.
You see, on a recent episode of Saturday Night Live hosted by Anne Hathaway, everyone’s favorite digital shortmeister Andy Samberg does a skit where “Mark Wahlberg Talks to Animals.” And he does a pretty good imitation of Walhberg and …. talks to animals. I thought it was a pretty funny skit in an episode that had several pretty funny skits. Here, check it out for yourself:
Funny, right? Maybe not old-school Saturday Night Live funny like The Bees or Mr. Robinson’s Neighborhood or The Judy Miller Show. Heck, not even as funny as the “Narnia” digital short, or Natalie Portman as a gangsta rapper. But pretty funny for a toward-the-end-of-the-show sketch. But here’s what Mr. Walhberg had to say about it.
Someone showed it to me on YouTube. It wasn’t like Tina Fey doing Sarah Palin, that’s for sure. And “Saturday Night Live” hasn’t been funny for a long time. They’ve asked me to do the show a ton of times. I used to watch it when Eddie Murphy was there and Joe Piscopo and Bill Murray. I don’t even know who’s on the show now.
Whatever, Marky Mark. You know you want to be in a digital short with Andy who must have a big old man crush on you if he’s willing to imitate someone who apparently has no sense of humor about himself. Either that or he was angling for a guest spot on Entourage and the whole thing massively backfired on him. Still, I suspect that Marky Mark actually has downloaded this video to his iPod and secretly watches it over and over, maybe silently crying for the days when he didn’t take himself so gosh darn seriously.

Hey there, you’re a blogger. What’s that all about? I produce Entourage. Say hi to your mother for me.

Marky, that’s the best comment we have ever gotten. Thank you!

Did Mark Wahlberg actually post that comment? Any who, I personally did not find that sketch funny at all. I have to agree with Mark Wahlberg, SNL has not been funny in a long time. I love you MARK!
