Unless you’re a huge fan of the American late night comedy show, Saturday Night Live (SNL), you might have missed a skit called Mark Wahlberg Talks to Animals. The skit features Andy Samberg talking to animals as Mark Wahlberg. The concept might sound a little strange but the skit is hysterical. Samberg is both the perfect sound and look alike to Mark Wahlberg.

Here’s a transcript of the skit:

Don Pardo: And now: Mark Wahlberg Talks to Animals.

[graphic]

Mark Wahlberg: Hey! I’m Mark Wahlberg. You guys know me. Let’s go talk to some animals.

[walks over to a dog]

Mark Wahlberg: Hey, dog. How’s it goin’? I like your fur, that looks really great. So you’re a dog, right? What’s that all about? [dog just stares ahead, oblivious] Okay, well it was great to meet you. Say hi to your mother for me, okay? [stands up] Now I’m gonna talk to a donkey.

[walks over to a donkey and bends down]

Mark Wahlberg: Hey, donkey. What’s goin’ on? You’re a donkey, I like that. You eat apples, right? I produce Entourage. [donkey just stares ahead, oblivious] Okay, talk to you later, donkey. [stands up] Now I’m gonna talk to a chicken.

[walks over to a chicken on top of a crate]

Mark Wahlberg: Hey, chicken. How’s it hangin’? A lot of people wanna eat you, but I just wanna talk to you, okay? We should do a film together, whaddya think? [chicken looks around uninterested] Hey, chicken, I’m not joking around, okay? This is the real thing, I mean this could be huge! [chicken continues to look uninterested] All right, well, think about it. Say hi to your mother for me, alright? Now I’m gonna talk to a goat.

[walks over and squats next to a goat]

Mark Wahlberg: Hey, goat. It’s good to see you. I like your beard. I had a beard like that in The Perfect Storm. Did you see that movie? [goat stares ahead oblivious] Did ya, did ya see The Perfect Storm, goat? [goat still stares ahead blankly] Say hi to your mother for me, okay?

Don Pardo: This has been: Mark Wahlberg Talks to Animals.

Mark Wahlberg isn’t a big fan of the skit. He had this to say in a NY Post interview he did while promoting Max Payne:

“Someone showed it to me on YouTube. It wasn’t like Tina Fey doing Sarah Palin, that’s for sure. And “Saturday Night Live” hasn’t been funny for a long time. They’ve asked me to do the show a ton of times. I used to watch it when Eddie Murphy was there and Joe Piscopo and Bill Murray. I don’t even know who’s on the show now.”

Wahlberg also threatened to slap Samberg when he was a guest on the Jimmy Kimmel Show.

But everything all worked out in the end. Wahlberg came on SNL to do his own version of Samberg’s imitation of himself a week later:
