If you liked this morning’s stories about “Saturday Night Live’s” Brett Favre commercial and “South Park’s” plagiarism of an Internet video, good news: “Saturday Night Live’s” Brett Favre commercial may have been stolen from an Internet video.
In the Funny or Die video below, a Brett Favre impersonator plays pick-up football in Wranglers Dickhole Jeans, much to the chagrin of the other guys on the field with him. They use a dildo that’s MUCH too large to be Favre’s penis, but other than that it’s pretty much the exact same joke as “SNL’s” Open Fly Jeans commercial starring Jason Sudeikis.
So was “SNL’s” version stolen from the Funny or Die video? The FoD video was posted last Wednesday, which is enough time for the “SNL” staff to see it and make their own version. However, Wednesday is also close enough to SNL’s air date for the writing staff to miss it completely, and given that Favre’s Wrangler commercials were obviously ripe for parody the instant his dick pictures hit the Internet, I wouldn’t be surprised if the two videos were made independently of each other. But hey, who knows. And who cares? I’d rather see a full 90 minutes of plagiarized skits than one more Gilly sketch.
SNL’s version:

this is my first ever post to warming glow, but im a big fan and longtime reader.
also, im good friends with Tom Vrab, the comedian who is on the wrong end of the dickhole jeans dogpile in the original video, and this is an outrage.
cuz SNL sucks lately, now theyre copying skits? fuckin a…
just give up already.
also look up Tom Vrabs standup comedy, hes pro.
I’m sure I’m one of thousands of people who thought of this as soon as the first post c(r)ock-shot Wrangler’s ad aired.
It’s an easy joke to make.
The brand “open fly” is far more funnier than “dick holes”….just sayin’
yes nelson, this is an OUTRAGE
Darfur? merely a footnote compared to the injustice of SNL thinking of the same joke as your friend
Multiple people came up with the same lame joke and want credit for it. Hey, I was the first one that asked people to pull my finger!
Has anyone claimed the rights to a joke about Favre hobbling around a Sears shaking his dick at people? CUZ I GOTS DIBZZZZZ!
also go to youtube and look up Megan Fox bigtitsupskirt
GUY #1: Well, he’s an ex free-base addict, and he’s trying to turn around, and he needs a place to stay for a couple of months.

GUY #2: Normally I wear protection, but then I thought, “When am I gonna make it back to Haiti?”

BRETT FAVRE LOOKALIKE: So she’s turned me down so far, but if she only got a good look at what she’s missing, I’m sure that skank would come around…

Bad Idea Jeans also available in special Three-Legged Santonio Holmes edition.
Fuck it. Low-hanging fruit or not, Adam thought of it, produced it and published it first. He wins.
Here’s the thing – SNL shouldn’t have to make an excuse like, “Well it’s a common joke.” Because SNL shouldn’t be making common jokes. They get paid good money to put together a one-of-a-kind show and instead they keep churning out bullshit. There are hilarious comedians and writers out there who could run circles around Seth Meyers.
I hope Seth Meyers becomes a burn victim…..with that said, FoD wins…..
Someone needs to call Oliver Stone to write a movie about this conspiracy. I bet Lorne Michaels shot JFK too.
What are the odds that this video and Open Fly Jeans have left handed Brett Favres?
If there’s any more proof needed, I don’t know where to find it.
Boom.
When did Carlos Mencia start writing for SNL?
