![]() To be fair, Aquaman’s water is off at his building.Įven Batman’s reasons for accosting Gordon get flimsier. This doesn’t last as Batman keeps showing up in more intimate places, including a moment where he brings Aquaman with him to sneak into Gordon’s shower. Gordon’s freaked, but he’s still on board with what’s going on. Gordon tries to get some late night ice cream from the freezer and Batman’s there to tell him that he thinks the Scarecrow is up to something. Unfortunately, that’s not the only place Batman does that. As expected, Batman vanishes when Gordon isn’t looking and Gordon makes a crack about it. Gordon meets Batman (Andy Samberg) on the rooftop, next to the Bat Signal and talks shop. Steve Buscemi plays the role of Commissioner James Gordon to perfection in this pre-filmed parody of the Christopher Nolan Batman movies. Season 37: Episode 8 (2011) – Hosted by Steve Buscemi To Emanuel’s delight, the super-strong Obama proceeds to casually terrorize the Republicans. His voice sounds like Obama’s enough already, but he mixes the Shatner-like inflections of the president with the caveman speak of the Incredible Hulk. He’s labeled “The Rock Obama,” a pun that hits stronger since this was during the days when Johnson was trying his hardest to distance himself from his wrestling career. His suit begins to rip and after a ghastly transformation sequence, we see Dwayne Johnson sitting in his place, clad in tattered clothes. After a verbal jab from Senator McCain (Darrell Hammond) breaks the camel’s back, Obama goes into a fit. Between the antagonizing of a trio of Republican senators and the egging on by Rahm Emanuel (Andy Samberg), Obama starts to give in to his negative feelings. President Obama (Fred Armisen) is known for his calm demeanor, but even he has his limits. ![]() Season 34: Episode 17 (2009) – Hosted by Dwayne Johnson Really, the highlight of this bit is Ferrell hitting all the right notes of a relative trying to carry an empty conversation purely out of politeness. Like a father on the phone, Jor-El gives the conversation over to Superman’s mother, Lara (Maya Rudolph), who is trying to hide her panic over the possibility that her son is gay, what with him wearing bright tights, insisting that Lois is not his girlfriend and that he likes to hang out with a teenager named Jimmy. They end up asking each other how they’re doing, but neither has much to add. The two really have nothing to talk about.

The disembodied head of Jor-El (Will Ferrell) appears to him and dramatically explains that this phantom version of himself will give Superman all the answers he needs. And boy, oh boy, "Fallon and Hamm hilariously perfected the two superheroes," says Kathleen Perricone at the New York Daily News.In this skit, Superman builds the Fortress of Solitude and readies the special Kryptonian crystals. While not exactly a laugh riot, "give it credit for trying something so conceptual - and packing so many great stars into one sketch," says Adam Markovitz at Entertainment Weekly. Indeed, this was "the most surreal thing to air on SNL this entire season," says Mike Ryan at Movieline. The reaction: In an otherwise "subpar" episode, this segment, packed with the usual parade of double entendres, was easily the "most attention-grabbing," says Mike Vilensky at New York. (Carell and Colbert voiced the original "Ambiguously Gay" cartoons, which date back to 1996.) The video: This weekend, Saturday Night Live resurrected Robert Smigel's long-running superhero cartoon, "The Ambiguously Gay Duo." (Watch the clip below.) But in a big twist, the animated short morphed into a star-studded, live-action video when a "flesh ray weapon" turned the the 2D characters into real people - namely Jon Hamm and Jimmy Fallon as the crime-fighting, can-can-dancing title characters, along with Steve Carell, Stephen Colbert, and Ed Helms as villains.
