What I've Been Watching Pt. 1

Here's to new beginnings and the first installment of "What I've Been Watching". That sounds like such a catchy title, so I'm sure there will be millions of viewers just peering in to see what Ryan's been watching over the past week. I know, I know. This is a little bit of a rip-off from EW.com's "Sound Bites of the Week", but I'm actually providing full clips instead of just little, teeny bites. Their sound clips are like bite size candy bars while mine are the KING SIZE. You get it?

Well no more rambling. Lets get to wait you have all been waiting for. This is What I've Been Watching:



This is a clip from SNL featuring Adam Samberg. In this clip, Samberg is acting as Mark Wahlberg in a skit called "Mark Wahlberg Talks to Animals". Why is it called that? I have no idea. I don't really get the relevance, but it is still pretty funny.



This is a clip from Jimmy Kimmel Live in which Mark Wahlberg is responding to the skit from SNL that parodies Wahlberg himself. Wahlber says he is going to go to NYC and confront Adam Samberg. Not really confront... more like DESTROY! Is he really going to do that?



Who actually thought Mark Wahlberg would go all the way back to NYC to confront Adam Samberg? Well it looks like he has from this clip. This is actually a hilarious skit. Wahlberg finally shows some acting talent that has been hiding during his last three movies. Oh yeah, "Say hi to your mother for me!"



Three SNL-related clips in a row?! Yeah I know. The show has been lacking in recent years, but I have to give it to them. They put on a few good shows in a row and ratings have not been higher in the last 10 years than they are right now. Gov. Sarah Palin is actually in this clip. Not much range as an actress, but hey, she looks good. Who cares?



Here is the trailer to "Zack and Miri Make a Porno" which debuts Oct. 31. Seth Rogen and Elizabeth Banks come together in this hilarious-looking (wording?) movie. And writer/director Kevin Smith looks like he may have finally put together a good movie again after a few years of bad material. I guess we will find out next weekend if this movie will be gold. I can't wait!

Well, there you have it. This has been the very first edition of "What I've Been Watching"! And what do you know. 80 percent of the clips were from SNL. It won't be like this every week, believe me. It was just actually a good week for the show so I had to give them credit where credit is due. I hope everyone enjoys the clips as much as I have. Tune in next Wednesday for "What I've Been Watching PART TWO".
