In protest to France’s opposition to a U.S. war on Iraq, the U.S. congress’ cafeteria has changed French Fries and French Toast to Freedom Fries and Freedom Toast. Afterwards, the congressmen were so pleased with themselves, they all started Freedom Kissing each other.

Tina Fey: In a related story, in France, American Cheese is now referred to as Idiot Cheese.

Jimmy Fallon: Trust me! They’re laughing at us! French fries aren’t even French! They’re Belgian. Some American guy named thm wrong, to begin with. Also, Americans – they’re pouring bottles of French wine down the toilet. Stop it! You already paid for the wine, you dopes! Pee in the wine, and sel it to some French people! Then, you’re doing something!

Tina Fey: Yeah! And, you know, don’t think that by eating Freedom Fries, you’re being patriotic and helping the war effort. Use less gasoline! Read a newspaper! You know? How about you cool it with the Freedom Fries, anyway, you fat asses! We’re the fattest, country in the world! Have you ever walked around an American mall? It’s nothing but Chick-Fil-A’s and Lane Bryant track suits busting at the seams!

Together: Do something!!

Don Pardo V/O: This has been Jimmy & Tina Yelling At America.

Lupe: And I’m Lupe!

Fericito: Say, Lupe.. isn’t it wonderful to be here on Sabado Night Live! We have the most comfortable dressing room! I must have spent an hour on the toilet!

Lupe: Fericito, there is no toilet in our dressing room.

Fericito: [ bangs a rim shot on the drums ] Oh, Dios Mio!

Lupe: [ shakes caracas ] Ay, pipa!

Fericito: Look! Himmy! Excuse me. Doing comedy is like making love to your wife, okay? You sweat a lot.. you make funny faces.. and.. if you’re bad, the audience demands their money back! [ bangs a rim shot on the drums ] Oh, Dios Mio!

Lupe: [ fuming ] Fericito, this is not funny! Why do you talk about this things on television?

Fericito: Oh, Lupe.. it’s just a yoke, it’s a comedy show..

Lupe: Oh, no, Fericito.. These things are passionate. Our mothers are watching. Sometimes you just make me want to scream! [ angrily drops her caracas on top of the drums and folds her arms ] I’m just KEEEEEDING!!!

Fericito: [ bangs his drums with joy ]

Jimmy Fallon: Fericito, Lupe, everybody!

Tina Fey: It’s been reported that more and more Americans are using search engines like Google.com to locate and contact their ex-girlfriends and boyfriends. This is no use to me, however, because everyone I’ve ever dated has ended up dead!

Avril Lavigne: I’m MAAAAD!! I have a paperclip! And put it in my ear!! I don’t give a F! ‘Cause I’m pissed!! And I’m a punk!

Tina Fey: Okay, time to go.. time to go..

Gollum: I’m bringing my mother! But, God, I’m not gay!

Tina Fey: Gollum, everybody! He’s not gay.

ABC’s “All My Children” will break a daytime TV taboo, when it features the first-ever lesbian love scene. Hoping it’s a success, other soaps are ocnsidering gay spin-offs, such as: “The Bald & The Beautiful”, “As The World Turns Over”, “Pork Charles”, and, of course, say it with me: “Genital Hospital”.

Tina Fey: St. Patrick’s Day is on Monday. Here with some thoughts on the celebration of all things Irish, is our own Jimmy Fallon!

Jimmy Fallon: [ holding guitar ] St. Patrick’s Day is coming up, and I can’t wait! I love it! As you know, you don’t have to be Irish to celebrate St. Patrick’s Day. Last year, I went to my favorite Irish bar, and I was the only Irish guy there.

[ singing to the tune of John Mayer’s “Your Body Is A Wonderland” ]

“There’s a rabbi with a shillelagh
There’s a McCormack named Sean.
There’s an Indian dude playing bagpipes
There’s a Chinese leprechaun.

Nobody’s here from Ireland!
Nobody’s here from Ireland, that’s for sure.
Nobody’s here from Ireland!
Nobody’s here from Ireland!”

It’s fun, uh.. people dance, they sing.. they drink. Uh.. and I have a favorite drink, uh..

[ singing to the tune of Christina Aguilera’s “Beautiful” ]

“St. Patrick’s Day, I think it’s wonderful
The day is here, for Guinness Beer.
Guinness Beer, you’re mysterious
I pour you out, then wait an hour
You are beautiful, I drank a case today!
Now I weigh 300 pounds
So won’t you drink one down?
Won’t you drink one down?
Today?”

Of course, there’s a big parade that goes up 5th Ave., but there’s still this controversy about not letting everybody march.

[ singing to the tune of Coldplay’s “Clocks” ]

“Bagpipes start to play
You can march, unless you’re gay
Singing many different shades of green
Don’t mess with an angry queen.

Singing let them march, and you will know
Gay guys make better floats.
Singing coo-oo-oo-ool float.
Coo-oo-oo-ool float.”

Please remember that, uh.. this holiday can be a lot of fun, uh.. don’t drink too much, okay?

[ singing to the tune of Eminem’s “Lose Yourself” ]

“Look!
You only have one shot!
After 6 pints of Amstel, 3 Budweisers,
2 beers I never heard of – microbrews.
Plus 1 Seagram’s wine cooler you stole out of some girl’s backpack.
Then you ate everything you saw at the parade.
Could you digest it?
Or lose control of your bodily functions.

Yo, my palms are sweaty.
Corned beef, canned confetti
Falling on my sweater already.
Green confetti I’m bupring, But on purpose I keep forgettin’ to throw up

I don’t think my brain will let me hold it down.
Now, I’m bending over, it won’t come out
Time’s up! Over! Blast!
And back comes the cabbage
There goes shamrocks
Some wasted sandwiches
I hope there’s no cameras
Oh, a weak bladder
I won’t until it don’t matter
I’ll clean it next Saturday
Puke yourself in the bathroom..”

Tina Fey: For Weekend Update, I’m Tina Fey! And that’s Jimmy Fallon! Good night and have a pleasant tomorrow.

[ Jimmy continues to play his guitar, and a gangster sneaks up behind him and steals his pencil ]
