Mark Wahlberg clearly not "the funny one" in his family
Did you see Andy Samberg's spot-on impersonation of Mark Wahlberg on "Saturday Night Live" recently?
Well, Mark Wahlberg did, and he's not happy about it. Earlier this week he complained publicly that the show hasn't been funny since Joe Piscopo was on it (um, really?) Then, last night, while on the Jimmy Kimmel show, he threatened not once, but twice, to punch Andy Samberg in his "big nose."
Oh, Mark Wahlberg. You think your little tirade is going to make the mean bullies stop picking on you? Your last few movies were "Shooter," "We Own the Night," "The Happening" and now "Max Payne." Me thinks someone needs to be happy the cast of "Saturday Night Live" finds you relevant enough to parody.

Hey Heather, say hi to ya mother for me.
I'll say this:
Dick in a Box > Anything Mark Wahlberg has been in that's not "Entourage."

Geez, and I thought I was uptight.
Poor tough Boston guy has to prove how tough he is by pouting and threating to hit some kid in the nose.

That was a spot-on impression of Marky Mark in Fear.
Why is he so uptight?
Ever since he got kicked outta George Clooney's secret club he takes himself way too seriously.

I don't understand why the hell he is so pissed. That skit was hilarious, and it has given him even more publicity for this stupid movie.

One more thing: I might understand Wahlberg's annoyance if SNL spoofed his Marky Mark days, but this was nothing close to that.

Actually, he's right if we think about it. Well, I wouldn't say it hasn't been funny since Piscopo, I mean there were the Farrell, Farley, Hartman days (Classic).
Aside from the "new" Sarah Palin stuff, this show really is weak! I mean, granted, Mark Wahlberg doesn't cry out funny nor does he warrant this type of attention.
At least his acting is better than his singing/er..rapping! Andy Samberg might just catch a "Departed" from old Wahlberg, you never can tell...

And I always thought he would have been a nicer guy in person.

"you eat apples right? i produce entourage."
that was a damn fine sketch. i think samberg nailed his mannerisms, cadence and tone perfectly. someone show this to frank caliendo because that's what a good impression looks and sounds like.
but, i don't know, it seemed like wahlberg was annoyed, but i also think he was joking around a bit with it as well. i mean, he throws in the say hi to your mother line, and then he'll ask him for forgiveness.
it also might be nice to see the whole interview, because wahlberg seemed a little out of it, perhaps a few too many cocktails before coming on.

SNL=teh suck! Sure, they have about 2 or 3 funny skits per year but as far as consistency? Nada. And it's good to see old Marky Mark shine through the "big actor" facade a little. Feel the vibration, Samberg!

Uh oh, where's Aundrea/Shannon/UFO? One of HMac's posts broke the 10 comment count!
Are there balloons dropping from the ceiling at anybody else's place?
Congrats HMac, you've gone multi-platinum.

Don't worry, Adam. The troll will be soon enough. I don't think junior highs get out until 3 or so.

For some reason I'm not going off topic, shocking I know.
I just saw on cnn.com that Marky Mark will be on SNL this weekend. Course they are also saying that about Paylin.
