May Flowers, Patricia Clarkson

May Flowers, weeknights @ 11:00

It's the last Mother's Day post of the year. Hope you had a great day or chat with your mom.

Patty Clarkson and Susan Sarandon were already personal heroes of mine. And now co-starring in this "Mother Lover" digital short opposite Andy Samberg and Justin Timberlake? Priceless... especially given that Susan has always been viewed as a saucy minx, no matter what her age (I suspect it has a lot to do with those "Damnit Janet!" origins) and Patty is a saucy minx in real life (trust me, I've seen her in person twice)


I especially love Patty's frumpy skipping with a single daisy in this video. Patty as frumpy mom. Now that's ACTING because Patty is anything but frumpy.

sigh, I Patty so hard!

Do not watch this video if you are easily offended.

It was hilarious to watch. As I'm not at all a Timberlake fan I was ready to switch the channel when they started this number. And I couldn't believe my eyes.Exceptional.

haha...perfect choice! a friend sent this to me and i've seen it like 15 times.

I think i had a little pleasure stroke when i noticed that the moms in the video were Clarkson and Sarandon. The video/song is as disturbing as it is funny. I think my favorite piece is:

"It would be my honor to be your new stepfather.
While you're in my mother, make me another brother and while i'm in your mother, i'll never use a rubber."

I can't remember the last time i cringed and laughed at the same time.

Props to both of them for appearing in the video. I can imagine alot of different actresses who would've instantly denied such a request.

It completely took me off guard to see the two of them in that video! Hilarious! Their appearance only makes my love for them grow ten fold what it already was. The chrous has been stuck in my head all day.

Also, Timberlake has been a host like 3 times I think? He's definitely one of the better ones to return (and certainly one of the better hosts recently...) I think last night's Mother Lover was even better than Dick in a Box (Loved how they threw away the iconic boxes in the beginning!)

My favorite part was when Patty flips down Justin's picture and then Andy flips it back up!

That was a perfect way to end mother's day... I sent it to my bother...my real brother, don't get any sick ideas!!!

And I've seen Patty too, and she didn't seem like a minx at all. Maybe I've been to the wrong party. She just seemed like the coolest person in the room and I'm sure everyone wished that they were her friend. I know I did.

It was so funny but I have to say it's weird!

OMG those hot mitts - love love love it! Two of my favorite actresses (STILL both hot) - thanks Nate, this made my morning!

Could anyone link me to a version that's playable outside the US?

SNL digital shorts are some of the funniest things ever, especially this one. i've watched it about 47,000 times since saturday night (hyperbole, apologies). 'Mother Lover', 'Dick in a Box', and 'I'm on a Boat' are pretty much tied for the number one spot at this point.

*sigh* Isn't it totally awesome that she's gonna be Academy Award Winner Patricia Clarkson in a matter of months?

we can dream...

I'm just saying it now (just in case) that by this time next year, she'll have an Oscar.

Nate Tyson said...

I feel like Timberlake and Samberg have become the modern Dean Martin and Jerry Lewis.

Their comedic chemistry is just off the charts.

Timberlake and Samberg I think you are a comedy artiest.And Your video is like a little story of two girls and 2 boys.There are many action,romance,comedy and Suspense.
