That's the funniest thing I've seen in connection to Bond. They should've had this trailer trash guy (who is he anyway? He's HAWT!!!) in CR. Would've made it better.

That would be Mr Tim McGraw from the most recent episode. That was funny.

For some reason my region won't allow the clip to play. Must be Canada's strict border security at work.

This is a fine example of why I stopped watching SNL 13 years ago.

Well, I'm not gonna lie, it didn't have me until Kristen Wiig showed up.

"Hello James."
"Hello Pussy."
"What?!?"
...
"What you'd say your name was?"
"Pussy Galore."
"Are you kidding me?!?"

I laughed out loud there :(

Probably just as well I can't view in my region.

Unlike most other SNL skits, this one was long on laughs and short on running time (which is a good thing). Normally their bad skits drag on and they dont' know when to quit.

Back in the late 80's or very early 90's (when Jan Hooks, Nora Dunn, and Jon Lovitz were all on the show) they had a very funny sketch with Steve Martin playing a very frugal, tightwad 007 in "BULLETS AREN'T CHEAP". After a PTS between M (Lovitz) and Moneypenny (Dunn) in which Moneypenny tells M that Bond is actually a very cheap secret agent, we see Bond (Martin) stroll across the screen in the famous gunbarrel scene, only to stop and pick a nickel off the floor. He later takes the Bond Girl (Hooks) to a casino, where he stocks up on free chips and beer before tangling with Goldsting (played by Sting), who sits at the casino tables stroking a pet rabbit. Later Bond takes the Bond Girl on a romantic vacation to Disneyland. On the train Bond seduces the girl, and she says something like "I don't need champagne to fall in love with you James". As they start to make out on the bed, he pours her glass of champagne back into the bottle.

Unfortunately, it looks as if NBC has done a pretty good job of policing YouTube and very few SNL clips, if any, have made it on there.

Now if they’d just put up Lease with an Option to Kill.

Very funny. :( Much better than the CR one, I'm afraid.

Now if they’d just put up Lease with an Option to Kill.

Which one is that? At the moment, the only other Bond spoof I can remember from SNL was the one with Chris Walken as Zorin and Phil Hartman (I think) as Bond. I think the premise was that Zorin was still in the process of constructing his secret lair (complete with blue collar New Yorkers) when Bond shows up.

There was another one about six years ago with Darrell Hammond (I think) playing a VD-infested Bond who had to call all his previous girlfriends and warn them they may be infected.
