New England Patriots Fans Will Love This SNL Skit
It is always funny when SNL pokes fun at New England!
Over the weekend, comedian Bill Burr hosted the first Saturday Night Live episode after last Tuesday's election.
After a long, stressful, never ending campaign, everyone was ready for a good laugh.
During a "commercial" for Buffalo Wild Wings, that claims it is NFL headquarters, Burr plays an angry, swearing Pats fans, with a thick Boston accent.
This makes sense, because Burr is a native of Canton, Massachusetts, so he pulls off the dialect pretty easily.
Also, it's much easier to laugh at this, after a nice New England Patriots victory yesterday.
The Pats beat the Chicago Bears 19-3, with their impressive defense holding the Bears offense to just 142 total years.
It’s always cool when Bangor, or for that matter, anyplace in New England gets mentioned in a movie or television show.
One of my favorite fake SNL commercials ever, is this 2016 Dunkin Donuts Christmas commercial, with Casey Affleck doing his Southie Boston accent that he perfected years ago in "Good Will Hunting"
If you have never seen the movie "There Will Be Blood," you really should. It’s easily one of the best films of the last 20 years, and it features a brilliant performance from Daniel Day-Lewis. Speaking of brilliant, the incredible Bill Hader does a spot-on impression of the Lewis character, Daniel Plainview.
In this sketch, he travels the country with his son looking for the best milkshakes, for their Food Network show "I Drink Your Milkshake” which is the iconic line from the movie. In the video, they visit the fictional McGarrity’s Dairy Parlor, in you guessed it, Bangor Maine.
This skit is from 2012 when actor Jamie Foxx hosted. It is about a reality show set in a Bangor courtroom and it's called “Maine Justice” It really doesn’t make much sense, considering the judge played by Jason Sudeikis, seems to have a Southern accent that either sounds like Colonel Sanders or Matlock.
The first thing you will notice in the video is the WLBZ Channel 2 logo, and a shot of Downtown Bangor and the Penobscot River.
The bit was so popular, that they did it again when Justin Timberlake hosted!
