SNL Spoof on ‘The Walking Dead’

Posted March 5th, 2013 by Haleigh Williams

SNL is known for poking fun at all things culturally important so they made no exception when they came out with a parody skit on ‘The Walking Dead’. Its nice to take source material that can often times be very serious and poke a little fun at it. I mean, where would we be without ‘Shaun of the Dead’ and all of its hilarious zombie moments? Not laughing, that’s where!

My favorite in the skit is Carl (played by Nasim Pedrad), and how he’s “totally fine and has no emotional issues” with killing zombies or his mom… even though he’s 12… and wears his fathers sheriff’s hat like a little girl playing dress-up. Kevin Hart is an awesome addition to the group as he tries to weasel his way in by pointing out their ‘racist’ comments (chicken, watermelon and swag. hilarious.). Highlight for this one is the Thriller dance at the end and the bumping of the chests by Hart and a fellow zombie.

For a small taste of comedy relief, enjoy this clip!

1995: Slumber Party Birthday celebration is where we lay our scene. What started as an average night became the start of a love so great, it would forever change the course of one girls life forever. That girl, was Haleigh Williams. One would think that showing a horror film at a child’s birthday party would be a bad idea, but that 11 year old girl was adamant about watching one on her special night. The film was Poltergeist, and even though it was the scariest thing she had ever seen and almost peed her pants, she knew that this was the start of a beautiful friendship. That love grew and continues to this day, as she watches, reads and geeks-out over all things sci-fi and horror. She has extensive escape plans if the zombie apocalypse should ever hit and always checks behind the shower curtain for serial killers.
