b,121No joke if you ask Mark Wahlberg about the days when he was Marky Mark & the Funky Bunch he goes ape shit. Similar to the whole Vanilla Ice shit. Both hate people mentioning their past.

b,121The fact that their pasts are embarrassing to them gives me hope for them. If I asked Mark Wahlberg about the Funky Bunch and he was like "Funky Bunch? Fuk yeah! That was the greatest time of my life! We were running shit, son! In fact I'm bringing the project back so that we can tour with NKOTB!" I would be really frightened.

font class="post"1b,121b,121Truth. I worked on a few photo shoots with him back in his heyday, and he was a huge asshole then, but he was having the time of his life. Money, girls, and no worries whatsoever at 20 years old. I'd remember that shit fondly if I were him. b,121b,121Or maybe he does secretly but the wife hates it? Maybe he's got a secret room in his house full of groupie polaroids and used panties that he retreats to when he gets depressed about stuff like the SNL skit?
b,121Mark Wahlberg gets a lifetime pass for the genius that is So What Chu Sayin. That would be the b-side to the epic Good Vibrations 12" for you non-Wahlberg completists.

Shots rang out on the regular and murders on the 6 o'clock news. Wahlberg gets a tough guy pass for growing up there.

not that i ever post in that thing no more, but my blog BITCHES LIKE TO SUCK IT is in fact a quote from the marky mark autobiography in which he talks about his third nipple.

b,121b,121What douche. Get a sense of humor. I half liked him in that movie "Fear".b,121b,121That samberg skit is hilarious. Up there with al pacino checks his bank balance.
Ha ha, the sketch is quite funny but Whalberg's reaction totally elevates it to a whole new level. Marky Mark comes across as the school jock who's just found out one of the nerds has been mocking him at recess.

b,121b,121b,121Oh shit, that was pretty funny. I hadn't seen it before so I had to google it. I liked how he kept doing the "checking the waistband of the pants" thing Pacino always does.
doesnt he realize this asshurtedness is just going to result in a lot more skits making fun of him? They should bring back Piscopo since Mark mentioned him and have Andy do a "Whiners" sketch with Piscopo...
they better have a new one this week. What a poor sport. Can't take a joke and acts like a little baby about it. They should just recreate that Jimmy Kimmel interview word for word, but have Kimmel played by a goat or a chicken. b,121b,121If you reads this Andy Samberg, do it!
the proper way to play out this situation would be to be a surprise guest on SNL and have wahlberg talk to wahlberg, but he ain't having that. There is so much potential for future laughs.
I don't know. Now it seems like the whole thing was a put on. b,121b,121Do a bizarre but funny sketch about Wahlberg, then Marky Mark outrage in the week between, then appearance pimping Max Payne. In all, people are talking about Wahlberg. It has all the earmarks of a viral campaign for a movie.b,121b,121If that is what happened I don't think it played out as well as other put ons, like the brilliant "I f**ked Matt Damon" from Kimmel/Silverman and the writer's strike inspired Conan/Stewart/Colbert insult fest.b,121b,121At least the Conan/Stewart/Colbert culminated in a finally that was truly funny, unlike Wahlberg's performance on SNL.
my impression is that he was really pissed, probably still thinks it's dumb, but his agent and his friends were probably telling him that he was looking like a jerk. This way he makes good and gets in a promo. Maybe it was all set up, but I don't get that impression. b,121b,121either way, the "you were in The Goonies...I produce Entourage" line is funny.
Ahh, stop with all the asshurtness, dude clearly has some sense of humour.b,121b,121b,121b,121b,121b,121If he was faking 'playing along', SNL should have wound him up some more, to see if he would snap. Now that would've been gold.

b,121b,121That was my thought when I saw it. It felt to me like his publicist and people were like "Mark, you have to do this to turn it into good press" and probably pushed him to do it. b,121b,121"Amy, you're pregnant. What's that all about?"

Nah, I think the plan was in place to have him appear on SNL by the time he appeared on Jimmy Kimmel's show. His delivery when he told Jimmy he wanted to punch Andy was too forced and didn't seem to represent any real anger.
