MTV reviews Bobby's Snooki From 'Jersey Shore'

Snooki From 'Jersey Shore' Gets The Business On 'Saturday Night Live'

We've talked a lot about the shortcomings of this season of "Saturday Night Live," but this past weekend's show was as funny and provocative as the series was at its peak. It was helped along by host James Franco, who has experience with comedy and improvisation. But the writing on Saturday night (December 19) was also top-notch, with a delightfully deranged digital short, the return of Andy Samberg's Mark Wahlberg impression and the funniest "Weekend Update" in ages, thanks mostly to Bobby Moynihan's turn as Snooki from "Jersey Shore."



As Snooki, Moynihan discussed "Jersey Shore" with "Weekend Update" host Seth Meyers. He was dressed in a terrible poof wig, was covered in orange make-up and was exposing his chest hair for the duration of the interview, which made for a very funny physical gag. But the jokes were great too, including the incredible kicker, which saw Snooki suggest that Meyers call her "Garfield" because she's orange and loves lasagna. The segment also featured a cameo by the Situation (played by Bill Hader), who showed off his "back abs" in another surreal moment.

They say that you're not really famous until you've been spoofed on "Saturday Night Live," which means that Snooki has finally arrived. Perhaps her new reality show "Snookin' For Love" (which she pitched to Conan O'Brien on "The Tonight Show" last week) is just around the corner.

These are from Bobby's first season on SNL:







Enjoy!

Bobby Moynihan in The Manuel Ortiz Talk Show

The music is contagious.



Bobby plays Luke's father.

I don't know, it's amusing, and the dancing is funny, but I would have liked more drama between the characters (and a bigger bang) instead of fizzling out down to the water and dancing gags at the end.

Enjoy!

Bobby Monynihan - in Christmas Tree Lot

Each Christmas tree has a story.

It's Christmas Eve! Merry Christmas!



Bobby plays Tommy, who brings the trees to the cars.

I couldn't help but expect Jason and Kristen to do their A-Holes skit where they shop for a Christmas tree.

Enjoy!

These frat brothers sound out their letters.

Bobby Moynihan in Tizzle Wizzle (SNL Digital Short)

Jammies, pills and knives!



Awesome! This was one of the best digital shorts this year! I laughed harder than any other one this year, and I had to watch it several times.

I also appreciate that this short features all the newer, featured cast members who aren't used as often (or as well): Nasim Pedrad, Jenny Slate, Bobby Moynihan, and Abby Elliot.

Enjoy!

Bobby Moynihan - as Liam in A Very Gilly Christmas

Saturday Night Live presents a holiday compilation hosted by the troublesome Gilly.



Starts with a Gilly skit (which includes Bobby Moynihan), then a choir intro with Gilly, and then on with the skits. Gilly doesn't really introduce the skits since she doesn't really talk.

Features Steve Martin introducing his own "Christmas Wish." And Gilly sprinkles rat poison on him.

Enjoy!

And Fred Armisen had this to say about Bobby in that episode...

"Bobby was next to me in [the Family Feud sketch]. He was making me laugh, from the table read all the way to the live show. Something about the way he said "POTholders!"

Enjoy!

Bobby Moynihan - behind the scenes of Mystery Men

Bobby Moynihan was in this 2009 film before he started on SNL in late 2008.

This shows a bunch of behind the scenes clips of Mystery Men.

Bobby's on (with full beard and longer hair) at 1:10, 1:18, 1:48.

Enjoy!

Bobby Moynihan - in New Doorbells

A custom ring for every occasion.



Bobby's on right at the beginning and comes back up to ask for one about cars.

This is Jenny's skit. She got another one for the last episode (she was featured in this one and the Twilight debate). So she's pretty funny here. She was very nervous at first, but she got a little more relaxed as she went and the jokes got funnier as they went. I didn't like it at first, but by the time it ended, I thought it was hysterical.

It's obvious that they're pulling Kristen out more. They have gotten a lot of heat by featuring Kristen too much and now that they have a few different solid female players, they're trying to save Kristen for the big gun sketches and feature her as the lead in a sketch or two rather than put her in 7 sketches like they used to. So she only appeared in Surprise for this episode (and her voice was in the monologue).

Fred Armisen also only appeared in two sketches this week. The big players were Abby Elliott, Kenan, and Jason Sudeikis (each with 5).

Enjoy!

Finally a new Jenny Slate skit. Amusing character, but not hilarious.

Bobby pretty much is a background character here.

Carter and Sons gets played again!

SNL played Bobby Moynihan's commercial, Cart and Sons, for the second time! This week is the second time the commercial has been played on SNL. SNL often repeats recent commercials when they have time to fill or think that it fits with the right mix in a show. It's the cheapest way to fill time in.

Commercial - Carter N' Sons BBQ

Fred Armisen ... patron
Bobby Moynihan ... Ronnie Carter
Nasim Pedrad ... patron
Andy Samberg ... patron
Jason Sudeikis ... patron

Enjoy!

Amy doesn't think Bobby Moynihan needed to be in the JGL monologue

Monologue - Well, best monologue of the season and actually as far as the season goes, we've had some pretty decent monologues. Here, Joseph Gordon-Levitt recreates the classic "Make 'Em Laugh" dance number from Singin' In The Rain. Now, I know some people were like "Boo! It's not as good as Donald O'Connor!" and it wasn't, but what is? But JGL did all of this LIVE and in ONE TAKE. It's a pretty amazing feat & the boy can dance for sure! I know it left me with a big stupid grin and pumped me up for the rest of the show. Only gripe - why was Bobby Moynihan even there? Unnecessary!
