Sarah Palin’s Weekend Update Gangsta Rap with Amy Poehler

October 19, 2008 by  

Sorry but it’s not like SATURDAY NIGHT LIVE is funny ever week.  There were a lot of moments to share…including this Weekend Update bit featuring Sarah Palin and her Alaskan gangsta rap.

Sarah Palin herself bopping along was funny, but Amy Poehler rapping in the “terminal phase of her pregnancy” was hysterical.

    I thought this skit would have been a lot better if Palin would have attempted to perform the rap instead of just bobbing her head.

    Travis: I think Governor Palin went about as far as a major party candidate could under the circumstances. I think it was wise of them to give her a chance to show some humility, but remain dignified. As an added bonus, we got Amy Poehler’s last musical number before leaving SNL. Not a bad trade off…

    i understand that she still must maintain a certain amount of professionalism, but at this point, the McCain/Palin ticket needs a game-changer. i know that when president clinton played his sax on tv that it really appealed to the younger generation. i just feel that at this point, they don’t have much to lose. might as well let it all hang out.

    Risky lyrics for a game-changer. Conservative themes and liberal connotation do not mix well. Personally wrote down the lyrics at my site:

    Wow. Amy is pretty terminal in her pregnancy. Didn’t enjoy the rap, but, oh well. Still was cool to see Amy

    Sarah’s got some moves. The rap was hysterical, and Amy getting down in her terminal phase of pregnancy was awesome.

    aside from political motives and trying to trick people into thinking shes something shes not, that was pretty damn funny.
    other than that, both parties are a joke. and youre all sheep, arguing about shit that is never going to change under either party, because both tickets are controlled by the same corporations. and that is who runs our country.

    Too funny. I love Amy Poehler, so to see her perform the Palin Alaskan Rap in “her terminal phase of pregnancy” was pretty hilarious. And I agree that Sarah Palin made the right choice – while it would have been even more funny for her to perform the skit, it was probably the reasonable choice for her not to.

    That’s actually way funny. I don’t know how you wouldn’t think so.
