Jimmy Kimmel had Marky Mark (aka Mark Wahlberg) on his show last night and played the clip from Saturday Night Live of Andy Samberg’s impersonation of him.
Well, it seems that Mark’s more than just a little pissed off.
“You know what? When I see that kid… I’m going to crack that big f#king nose of his. That’s what I’m going to do. And then I’m going to tell him ‘Say hi to your motha for me.’”
He said this while picking particles off of his shirt.
With all the buzz around Tina Fey’s Sarah Palin impression, a ‘Saturday Night Live’ skit involving Andy Samberg imitating Mark Wahlberg was highly overlooked a few weeks ago … but not by Wahlberg himself. Let’s just say he’s not very entertained with the spoof.
In an interview with the New York Post, Wahlberg talks about Samberg’s “Barky Bark and the Donkey Bunch,” in which Samberg does a stellar impression of the former rapper-turned-actor discussing life with a mule. Despite Wahlberg’s claims that “it wasn’t like Tina Fey doing Sarah Palin, that’s for sure,” the impression is flawless in our eyes.
Wahlberg goes on to further slam ‘SNL,’ saying it “hasn’t been funny for a long time.” He even says that he’s been asked “to do the show a ton of times,” but turned the offers down.
“I used to watch it when Eddie Murphy was there and Joe Piscopo and Bill Murray,” he said. “I don’t even know who’s on the show now.”
Yahoo has debuted a brand new trailer for the upcoming video game adaptation Max Payne this afternoon, but first, some news you can use.
In an interview with MTV, Payne star Mark Wahlberg jokingly issued a challenge to the man at the center of the second highest grossing film of all-time, The Dark Knight. This from the interview:
“Take off the suit and if you want to go one-on-one, two-on-one, and put a couple of you guys together – they all like to put the comic book characters together – come at me,†Mark Wahlberg laughed, issuing a challenge to the Dark Knight to put his fighting skills where his mouth is and face off against his character, Max Payne.
“I’m not talking about financial box office, I’m talking about one-on-one with these (puts up fists).â€
Of course, while his jovial tone and obvious sarcasm may have some brushing off Wahlberg’s comments, we believe it to be important that we take all threats against our favorite superheros seriously. That said, we think Batman, or more specifically Christian Bale, would kick the shit out of Wahlberg’s Payne.
We would present some sort of scientific proof, but that won’t be necessary — Batman is just that much of a badass. As for Max Payne though, he seems to be doing alright for himself… and it was one of my favorite PC games.
