GTA4 Niko and Vlad on Saturday Night Live

62
GTA on SNL? Well, if a movie did a $500 million opening week, bet your ass there'd be a skit on it the very next show. Here Niko Bellic and Vlad Glebov appear on Saturday Night Live's "Weekend Update" to complain about the negative image the game gives to Liberty City.

SNL's in a bit of a slump these past few years, but at least they're trying something different here. Still a terrible skit, though...

Yeah at least they tried but the hand and head motion crap is lame. Like they just wanted to mention GTA IV but couldn't think of anything funny so they threw something really physically goofy out.

Even though the skit was lame its still cool that they mentioned it.

Pretty awful.

I grew up on the SNL of Phil Hartman, Chris Farley, Adam Sandler, and Dana Carvey (among others). The stuff they do nowadays doesn't even compare to the old days, even when Will Farrell was peaking several years ago. I think it's been at least 5 years since I've bothered watching it, and at least 10 years since I've been a fan.

Adam Samberg skits are the only reasons to watch SNL. D!ck in a Box was the funniest skit ive seen on SNL since Jinglehiemer Junction with Tim Meadows.

10 - Why did this get approved?
That was garbage. SNL needs a complete overhaul or simply just cancel the show. I stopped watching years ago. Every once a in while I turn it on for a few minutes and I am quickly reminded why I stopped watching when all you see is garbage skits like this one.

It might be a bad sketch but that doesn't mean it shouldn't be approved. Your personal taste isn't a factor in deciding whether or not to approve it. As long as it follows the rules I see no wrong in posting it.

not funny.
The last funny group of cast members on SNL was Jimmy Falon and assoc.
The Clinton era will be the funniest cast ever.
This is just not funny at all. If they had kept them as normal people dressed and voiced as the characters voicing their opinions it would have been funny enough.
SNL is just trying WAY too hard for laughs now and the show sucks. MadTV also isn't as funny as the past, but they're much funnier than SNL.

SNL is weird like that. They'll have a good cast for a few years, then everyone leaves and the show goes straight to hell for a while. They always manage to recover after a few years and get good again.

BTW, what the hell happened to Fallon? That guy was funny on SNL. He's just bloody awful now.

No it's just Kotaku displaying their favoritism for their love child the 360 again. They always do that, nothing new, but it's getting so lame and unfunny now.

Not funny in the slightest. Garbage American humor, about as intelligent as those who claim GTA is a "menace to society".

That made me cringe..I didn't even watch the entire thing..what's with the hang movement? Maybe they trying to make fun of game or imitate a game character but this is 2008 not 1980..games aren't like that anymore, just shows how much disconnection these guys have with the gaming industry..No wonder they still think games are for kids.:(

It's funny that this was the least funniest bit of last night's entire Weekend Update.

I think Jason Sudeikis should have come out and done a little Richard Bastion for us if they were gonna do something GTA related.

Watching water drip from your sink faucet is waaaaayyyy more exciting than watching SNL.

They should make a skit of their sorry a$$e$ getting fired and begging on the streets for money. Now that's hilarious!!
