We doubt MacGruber will be able to get out of the mess that will be his movie.
It’s official: MacGruber is set to be the first Saturday Night Live character to get a movie adaptation since Tim Meadows’ The Ladies Man flopped in the box office nearly a decade ago. Will Forte’s cinematic spoof of the non-violent, survivalist MacGyver character is still a ways away, but we’re already cringing in anticipation. It’s not that we don’t love to see good SNL skits turned into feature length films (see: The Blues Brothers and Wayne’s World), it’s just that most of the time five minutes of funny doesn’t stretch into 90 minutes of hilarity. More importantly, a lot of these skits weren’t that hilarious to begin with (cough, A Night at the Roxbury, cough-cough, Superstar, cough).
To be honest, we haven’t watched SNL live on the boob tube since we discovered how much more entertaining vagina is on a Saturday night, but if we’re gonna have to see more sketch characters given the Hollywood treatment, we’re confident we can pick far superior ones. Not only could we make some bangin’ movies, but we also might save a few careers in the process (you’re welcome, Eddie Murphy).

Andy Samberg as Ras Trent, seeing the world through white I’s.
It’s nearly impossible for a white boy with dreads to have credibility ‘pon lock. No matter how many drum circles they drum in, or how many spliffs they spark to heal the nation, some smart-ass like Saturday Night Live comic Andy Samberg will laugh at them and make a hilarious skit about their misguided appropriation of Rastafarian culture.
In honor of all the white dreads who are taking abuse and putting off the eventual haircut and embrace of white privilege on Wall Street, Complex rates the realness of 11 famous dreadlocked white boys. Dread it (especially if you made the list)…
