Nicolas Cage And Nicolas Cage Appear On SNL Simultaneously, Tearing Hole In Fabric Of The Universe

video
» 17 comments

“Get In The Caaaaage!” This is one of my favorite recurring “Weekend Update” segments, and it was twice as good this week because there was twice as much Nicolas Cage! There was the one we normally see, played by Andy Samberg, and then original recipe Nicolas Cage, played by the man himself. When Seth Meyers expressed bewilderment that there were two versions of the same man at the desk, one of the Cages explained that this was made possible due to the success of a recent cloning experiment (done to help Cage achieve his goal of appearing in every film ever made).

Cages 1 and 2 were promoting “Ghost Rider 2: Spirit of Vengeance,” all of whose dialogue is “either whispered or screamed,” and in which everything is on fire. I would comment further on the quality of this sketch, but I’m actually too busy quivering with delight. Who did Cage better? There is no wrong answer!

    Ghost Rider 2?

    Uh, sorry, I’m busy volunteering myself for experimental dental surgery next weekend. And every weekend until it goes to DVD.

    Nicolas Cage used to be in some  good movies though. A looong time ago. We’re talking, so long ago, Republicans winning California was still in living memory.

    He also has owned some fabulous properties, the best being a “haunted” house in New Orleans.  Exquisitely decorated place.

    He’s been fending off bankruptcy of late and might not own it now.

    My friend just met a chocolate man on Blackwhitemeet.COMit’s where for men and women looking for interracial’ship for a fabulous lifestyle
    It’s a nice place for black white sing’les, to interact with each other…no bounds or extremes in front of true love.

    Finally: a reader comment with that unusually inside take that Mediaite fans thirst for.

    You mean, back when California still belonged to the Union and everything was beautiful, and prosperous? Before the illegal parasite infestation and the ongoing unbelievable drain on California’s economy….that living memory?!

    The very fact that the real Nicholas Cage was present made this sketch very funny!  He did not smile once even while the audience seemed to be enjoying every minute of it.  Great way to plug his movie. There was a trailer for his movie right afterwards.  Nick was probably the highlight of the show!

    Illegal parasite infestation.??  what are you talking about… Mexicans?   Asians?  How pompous and selfish are Americans now?  I think you are a piss poor American if you let crap like illegals bother you.  In fact I will submit,  You aren’t a real American at all.  Just another fat nasty slob that was born here.  and hates on anything and everything that isn’t just like you.   Cowards. 
    As an American I think its time we started culling the herd of weak garbage people like this..  You know the ones that bitch and moan and cry about everything yet do or suggest nothing positive to correct this corrupt nasty police country.   The same ones that flap constantly about their tax money and people that need welfare to feed their children.   This is NOT the land of opportunity anymore.  All the opportunities have been stripped and raped by corporate America.  and if by some outrageous coincidence you do find a way to succeed in this lousy wanna be society.  There will certainly be some rich prick coming along to buy out your idea.  If you still won’t sell,  they will just use their money to crush your head and stamp out any chance of success and leave you in a ditch. Or they will just steal it.   We don’t do anything to Rich people that steal from poor people.   They set up our justice system to disallow poorer Americans from utilizing the courts system of this county.   The golden rule of law in this country is if you can’t beat them with the law you beat them with the rules.   
    And boy will a rich company slam you with rules if you dare to think counter to what they think.   This country is corrupt and destitute of ethics and compassion.  Thats what you get from a capitalist bull*hit society like ours..   
      Illegal Parasites…. you are a parasite brother.   One that hangs in the wings and prevents any move toward improving this country cause it will mess with your bottom lines.   Selfish sorry bag of American excrement should be eliminated and used for something positive like fertilizer or glue maybe.

    Thanks for underscoring my remarks. It’s not just the illegal alien parasites (all of them) that’s a major problem in this State and the Nation as a whole, it’s people like you who lend support to people who have absolutely no right to be here, and who are killing, raping, along with putting the economic stability of this State in peril. You do this under the guise of some pathetic misplaced attempt at making yourself look like the unselfish good guy, when all you are is hapless fool who has no problem turning his back on his fellow legal citizens and their children. You are, everything that’s wrong in this country. I strongly suggest you rethink your priorities, and your loyalty. And, if your not a legal citizen, GET THE HELL OUT!!

    Yes, because no Americans ever kill or rape or bum off the system, and of course we should get rid of all immigrants, lets just send all the Indian and Asian doctors and engineers back ,oh wait we are! We are educating them (because student visas are OK) and then sending them back to their countries to become competitors and to use their skill sets to help their economy and their country.
    Well, that scum, they are talking all the jobs, you know the ones we want to do so much, janitorial was always little Bobbys aspiration but now he can’t because that dang mexican will work for cheaper than him to send money back to his family, you know, so they can live on more than 1 american dollar a day? That really blows, poor Bobby cant work on a farm picking tomatoes either, you know that was his second option.

    America was built on the backs of immigrants coming here to look for opportunities, a better life. If we really want to get rid of all immigrants we should give the U.S. back to the Native Americans.

    Why don’t you just get absurdly stupid!! Did I suggest anything other than ILLEGAL ALIEN PARASITES, be rounded up and deported?!! Hell no, I didn’t but, without that little bit of lying-ass absurdity on your part your argument circles the toilet-bowl, doesn’t it! Why don’t you tell your family they have to get in line behind ILLEGAL ALIEN PARASITES, and let’s see how much they want to give up to appease your corrupted bleeding heart crap!
    We are not the world Welfare Dept.!

    Actually Ghost Rider 2 looks kinda cool. The first one stunk due to them taking the source material way too seriously. This has a more grindhouse-y feel to it which might make it better.

    I mean, it’ll probably suck, but maybe not as much as people are expecting it to.

    Good on Nic Cage keeping a straight face the entire time. Good skit.
