    I don't know who he's impersonating, but it isn't Eddie Vedder. That might be the most horrible impression I've ever seen.

    The video doesn't work for me but is Samberg just saying a bunch of nonsense words like "Cubs...it is all about the Cubs...Rizzo...Bryant....Series...bats....hot dogs....sing it for Harry....Cubs....Billy Goat....curse is broken...Old Style....bleachers....clark....waveland...Sheffield....Addison Russell....Let's play two...Someday...Bartman....Moises Alou...Wrigley....never tour in October..."

    That was funny. Fred Armisen is great.

    And I was right...the Cubs were mentioned!

    My brain is still trying to figure out what I just put it through watching that.
    This is painful for all involved.

    20 years ago i thought the Adam Sandler impersonation was terrible...This makes Sandler's look Emmy worthy.

    I was just talking to a buddy the other day about how awful Pearl Jam karaoke tends to be because people try to do an impression v. singing the song.
    This strikes me as further proof of that.

    Crappy (played out) impression - it might have been funny in 1994 - and kind of an insensitive topic, no?

    Weird thing to do in 2017.

    Yeah he said I'm Eddie Vedder and I love the cubs.

    Was he confused with Yel led? :lol: and I did hear a lot of Sandler in that one. Not very creative and yes weird. :lol: he did apologize to PJ. It was just supposed to be fun right?
    Oh please let it rain today.
    Those that can be trusted can change their mind.

    Taking his impression a little too seriously no?

    Samberg even made fun of how bad and ridiculous it was during the skit....twice.

    You guys are way too serious. It was supposed to be a bad imitation. Lighten up people.

    So the funny part is not the skit but that his skit is bad and ridiculous? Sorry, still don't get the humour.

    I hear you. I don't get it at all.
    I think he got drunk and decided to do some improv.
    Fail.

    Lighten up. It was an over the top (meant to be bad) Ed impersonation and I thought it was a funny bit satirizing the sappy In Memoriam segments of award shows and leading up to a hilarious finish with Fred Armisen "dying".

    Agreed, apology accepted.

    Like Samberg's humour, my "sorry" should not be taken at face value Mookeywrench. It's a Canadian thing =)

    He even says "Apologize to Pearl Jam".

    (The opening monologue was great btw)

    It was funny enough...anytime someone imitates Pearl Jam is better than hearing some crappy music imitated!
    Also, Sandberg has been growing on me with Brooklyn Nine-Nine. I think that if you don't like him, you are not going to like this impression.

    He wasn't trying to win a contest, he was trying to be funny. He succeeded cause that shit was hilarious I think we take ourselves a little to seriously here

    poor impersonation. you can tell he didn't rehearse it. either that, or he's just not very good at this sort of thing.
