Skit featuring Ducks on SNL
It's rather late notice, but at the moment there's a sketch featuring mention of the Oregon Ducks in the Rose Bowl. Link added now.
Addendum: It really wasn't funny at all.
[Ed. Note - dvieira] I didn't know people still watched SNL but apparently they do. I liked the clip initially because of the shots of Autzen but it went into typical SNL drivel after that. Watch at your own risk

Maybe it's almost 5 AM,
and maybe The Impact has had too many Jager Bombs, but The Impact found that funny.
I will see your Jager Bombs and raise you two red cups of Tucker Max Death Mix and will attest that I failed to find humor in that.
I laughed once out of immediacy when Bill Hader said something.
Otherwise, that skit had way too much Taylor Lautner to be at all funny.

Now with even more vitriol.
You really changed your name to "The Impact",
Wow. Thats all I can say
Our collective lack of productivity has clearly paid off in the grandest of fashion. We are going to Pasadena. Yes, let that sink in. WE ARE GOING TO PASADENA. To be honest, this has not yet hit me-WE ARE GOING TO PASADENA. Wow.
Juju, We applaud your devotion and pure decency throughout the season.
I didn’t change my name to anything, what are you talking about?
It's spelled "T-H-E-I-M-P-A-C-T"
I support inroywetrust in his support of The VD Special in his support of me supporting Roger Kieschnick in his quest to becoming the best Kieschnick ever to play professional baseball.
Well then who the hell is "The Impact"?
Who commented above?

Sigh.
From anicpation re: ducks on tv in any situation, to recognition re: ah, one of those dumb skits they do to try, somehow, to get the unfunny guest star a few seconds of air time.
Whether he be met by rain, sleet, or DB's, the Maehlman always delivers.
I did appreciate a couple of elements of the clip. Taylor Lautner appeared to look similar to Nate Costa and getting the number 7 jersey was a nice touch. Also, nice work on naming him “Phil”

I think that was happenstance that he looks like Nate Costa.
All the same, I did notice the Phil thing. That was about as good as it got during the sketch.

the buckeyes?
so….snl’s quality of humor is a direct reflection of oregon’s football?

I take it as a boost for us. Regardless of how stupid the skit was, we were still on SNL, which is bad-ass to a degree.
SNL hasn't been funny since I was in college.
And that’s true regardless of who’s making the claim.
those who do not remember history should read my blog...
I thought it was funny from about July 2008 to November 4, 2008.

Wow,
I was not a fan of that myself. They probably had something funny earlier, but it involved our mascot…So they had to replace it with something dumb very quick

They didn't even sneak an LGB referrence in there?
That’s what I though they would do.

They clearly are not connected in any way with ESPN,
Or else it would have been a 5 minute montage of the Blount punch

Nor did they make fun of our uniforms
Phil, our crazy fans or any of the parts of our program that are actually mockable.

Is the Epic Fail for the skit, or the last 15 years of SNL?
The shot of Autzen at the start was the best part of the skit, and somehow the funniest as well. It made me smile, the rest, not so much.
I think the reason they didn’t talk about LGB was because they tend not to make fun of non-professionals — especially kids. The uniforms are probably also not good SNL sketch material, since so few people across the country would get the reference.
However, none of that is an excuse for the sketch being unfunny, which it most definitely was. Like a few of you, I laughed out of reflex from Bill Hader’s / Andy Samberg’s antics, but for the first sketch after the opening monologue, it was pretty weak.
Let’s cleanse our palate with something funny from SNL. Presenting: the BCS song (1:06 in).

First he does New Moon
Then he dresses up like a back up back up QB at Oregon (which, by default, makes you the starter by year end)
What else could Taylor Lautner do to be a bigger douche bag?
by The VD Special on Dec 13, 2009 12:37 PM PST reply actions
He freaking disappears, shows back up, disappears again…like the Beavs in the top 25. I had to do it, VD.
He can run, he can pass, he is sicker than e-coli. Jeremiah always keeps things rolling.

Words do not describe the badness
This post is dedicated to the brave brain cells that died in the viewing of that clip. We salute their memory.

I don't get it
Even if Christian Lautner was a good comedic actor, I just don’t get the joke. Was there a joke in there other than the fact that this guy can’t act?
christian lautner
i believe you are confusing a former duke all american with a pretty boy underage vampire

Yeah, one Christian Laettner.
And didn’t Lautner play a werewolf?

Isn't that your Generation's movie?

nah its the movie for 10-14 year old girls mostly
i consider our generations movie to either be remember the titans or dodgeball

kellen clemens won today as the starting QB for the jets. anyone have a clue when the last time a former duck QB won in the NFL (its gotta go back to Joey cause preseason doesnt count)

Didn't Kellen win at least one back in 2007 when he was the starter briefly?

Sounds right
Wasn’t there an Oregonian article then about Clemens, Joey and Anderson all starting on the same day? All Oregon Boys.

Clearly they spent all of 30 second writing that sketch.
The Nate Costa look-a-like is purely a fluke, though he has been absent from practice this week so maybe it secretly was Nate Costa, or Nate is hiding in a closet somewhere crying over the fact SNL made fun of him.
But yeah, not much time spent…There is no #67 or #15 on the current roster, and I’ve never seen a TE wear #67 anyway.

Nate is on a secret mission
Chip Kelly sent him out to buy the proper materials for the Rose Bowl. To give proper respect to SNL for their Ducks skit all players will charge onto the field sporting gift-shaped packages on their, er, packages.
Somebody Photoshop THAT! :P
It would have been funnier if they were USC players doing intro’s for the Emerald Bowl.

That was painfully unfunny...
I am never getting those two minutes of my life back. Eff you, SNL.
"KENNY WHEATON'S GONNA SCORE!! KENNY WHEATON!!--Jerry Allen, 1994"
That was pretty funny. I liked it.
Of course, the only thing funnier than that is all you Oregon fans doing this in depth analysis of the skit. “Well, it appears that they tried to get a Costa look alike for #7 and why would they have a TE with that number, c’mon SNL, rookie mistake, man, rookie mistake!”

Yeah, I don’t think Oregon’s role was really anything more than “some football team,” probably “whichever one is in the Rose Bowl.” But the skit just wasn’t funny. Unless it’s a reference to his acting in Sparkly Pre-Teen Vampire Fest Part Two; I freely admit that I wouldn’t have gotten that joke.

TJ Ward has spoken: "It wasn’t funny regardless. I’m waiting for the punch line or a joke or something.:
--AddictedToQuack, SBNation's Oregon Ducks blog
What I have a hard time understanding is… this isn’t funny even if I were to toss my fandom to the side.
It isn’t Oregon pride. They aren’t cracking jokes at Oregon, any specific player, or anything. They just picked a team going to the Rose Bowl for pop culture reference for their skit. It felt like a Mad TV skit… I hated Mad TV.
its spelled "S-h-u-t-t-h-e H e-l-l-U-p-F-E-L-T"
It felt like a Mad TV skit.
That was my exact reaction.
