St. Peter: Can you tell me, uh.. how was your childhood?
Rodney Dangerfield: Oh, I tell ya’, I had a rough childhood, alright? When I was a kid, my parents moved a lot – but I always found ’em. I’ll tell ya’, I got no respect as a kid. I worked in a pet store; people kept asking how big I would get!
St. Peter: Did you have any pets?
Rodney Dangerfield: I had a dog. Apparently, his favorite bone was in my arm!
St. Peter: How was your luck with the ladies?

Denise is the other black woman that works here. By 10 a.m., someone in the copy room makes a joke about Kobe Bryant, and everyone looks at me to make sure it’s okay. And I smile like it’s okay, but, really, my head and neck are starting to throb. Then I spend the rest of the afternoon training my interns and answering their questions, like, “Yes, black people use shampoo,” and “No, I don’t know any good reggae clubs around here,” and “Yes, Condoleeza Rice is very articulate, why do you sound so surprised?” And, “No, I can’t tell you where to buy weed!”

Announcer: From Studio 8H in Rockefeller Center, it’s “Weekend Update,” with Tina Fey and Amy Poehler!
Tina Fey: Hi I’m Tina Fey
Amy Poehler: I’m Amy Poehler, and here are tonight’s top stories.
Tina Fey: Last night in St. Louis, President Bush and Senator Kerry squared off in the second of three presidential debates. This time, the candidates took questions directly from the audience, and then said whatever the hell they were going to say anyway.
Amy Poehler: After being criticized for sulking and grimacing from the first debate, last night, President Bush employed a much subtler way to express his distaste for some of Kerry’s comments: Morse code. (clip of Bush blinking rapidly)
Amy, voice-over: Beep, beep, beep beep! Carl Rowe, Carl Rowe, get me out of here!
Tina Fey: President bush did however show that if he loses the election he can always go back to being a law professor.
(clip from debate)
Bush: The Constitution Of the United States says we’re all–you know–it-it doesn’t say that.
(back to weekend update desk)
Tina Fey: In one of the strongest attacks of the night, John Kerry ridiculed the President’s Environmental Clear Skies Initiative.
(cut to clip of debate)
Kerry: The Clear Skies bill that he talked about, it’s just one of those Orwellian names you pull out of the sky, slap in on to something like No Child Left Behind, but you leave millions of children–
(cut back to Tina)
Tina Fey: No, no, no, John. You lost us at “Orwellian”.
Amy Poehler: Kerry further separated himself from the audience by later mentioning that he, President Bush, and Moderator Charlie Gibson were the only people in the room rich enough to benefit from a Bush tax cut, prompting this (photo of woman) woman to jump out of the audience and yell, “Bitch, you don’t know my Life!”And that concludes our Presidential Debate Roundup.
Tina Fey: When Martha Stewart reported to prison yesterday, she was subjected to an invasive strip search, that included a squat-and-cough (audience laughs) during which she laid two perfect blue speckled eggs.
Amy Poehler: And here now, live, via satellite from day two of her prison term, is Martha Stewart.
(applause)
Martha Stewart: (monotone voice) Hello Amy, How are you?
Amy Poehler: Uh, I’m fine Martha, how are you? What’s it like down there at Camp Cupcake?
Martha Stewart: Amy, I have to be honest. It. Is. Awesome. I’ve made more friends in the past twenty four hours in prison, than I did in all my life.
(Prisoner enters and peers at camera while smoking cigarette)
Amy Poehler: Martha, Martha, who is that behind you?
Martha Stewart: Oh, Amy, that’s my cell mate, Kenyatta Williams, who goes by the name “Death Giver.”
Amy Poehler: Did you get a prison name, Martha?
Martha Stewart: Yes, I have several.
Kenyatta: Yo, the girls call her Martha, but I call her Blair, portly because of the “Blair Witch Project” and portly because she all fancy, like Blair from Facts Of Life. (hugs her head)
Tina Fey: Martha, Martha, is that a teardrop tattoo on your face?
Martha Stewart: Yes, Tina, it is a teardrop tattoo. It’s a very funny story. I woke up this morning to find that it had been burned on to my skin overnight, thereby initiating me into the prison gang.
Amy Poehler: You know, Tina, I thought prison gang initiation required killing someone.
Martha Stewart: Yes. (audience laughter)
Kenyatta: Yeah, now ain’t nobody gonna stort with Martha, cross my hort!
(Kenyatta keeps on hugging her)
Martha Stewart: (chuckles) I haven’t had this much human contact since I was an infant.
Amy Poehler: Wow. Martha Stewart and Death Giver, everybody. We’ll see you in five months, Martha.
(applause)
Tina Fey: A CBS news poll of the vice presidential debate feels that 51% feel that John Edwards won, 28% felt that Dick Cheny won, and the remaining 21% feel that the black lady won. (graphic: Gwen Ifill)Jennifer Aniston and Helen Hunt have taped public service announcements urging single women to vote. In a Weekend Update exclusive, we have obtained scripts to these spots.
Amy Poehler: “Hi, I’m Jennifer Aniston.”
Tina Fey: “And I’m Academy Award-winner Helen Hunt.”
Amy Poehler: “And we are here to remind you single women to not leave to voting booth as empty as your womb.”
Tina Fey: “Even if you are currently alone, there is one box you can stuff– the ballot box.”
Amy Poehler: “So remember ladies: Vote or die – alone.” (putting down scripts) That went great.
Tina Fey: Yeah.
Amy Poehler: One of the topics discussed during the debate was Afghanistan’s first free election, which was held today. As expected, The winner by a landslide was chaos. Utter chaos.
Britney Spears is recording a rap song about the recent controversies in her life. “I can’t wait to hear that!” said no one.
Tina Fey: Howard Stern announced Wednesday that when his contract is up in 15 months that he will join Sirius satellite radio in a deal reportedly worth a hundred million dollars. Now the question is: Will Americans pay $13 a month to hear a bunch of guys throw bologna at a stripper’s ass? (looks offstage) What’s that? Yes, they will.
Amy Poehler: The New York Times reported this week that citizens of Denmark have begun to challenge the country’s strict law on personal names. A law that allows the government to veto any name a parent chooses for their child. Here to comment, our own Finesse Mitchell.
Finesse Mitchell: Hey… how’s it goin’? Thank you, Amy, thank you. Citizens of Denmark, here me when I tell you: Do. Not. Change. That. Law. In fact, I think it’s time that our own government recognizes that some women need some serious help naming’ their babies here in the United States. Especially young black women. I’m speaking up for all the Laquayquay’s and Calamari’s of the world. Now don’t get me wrong, white women give their babies jacked up names too, like Romer, Frances-Bean and, Apple! But those are rich, famous people kids. they’ll never have no Kinko’s manager telling them Jermekalalisha isn’t gonna fit on a name tag, so they’re just gonna call her Jerky for short. That’s not gonna happen. Now, see the real problem is that I think that a lot of single black mothers will be mad at they baby’s daddy, and then take that out on the Child’s name. Like I know a girl named Mistakealina. And I dated a girl named Condombuster. I couldn’t even say her name in church! this stuff has to stop. Now, take my name. Now, Finesse was cute when I was four years old, but my career options were limited. It was either rapper or hairdresser. And it seems, the younger the mother, the more messed up the name! My mother had me when she was fifteen years old, and we never got along when we were growing up. I’ll tell you that. Every Saturday morning, we would fight over who got the remote control, she liked the Super friends; I liked The Smurfs. I remember sitting’ at the kitchen table with my homework, and she’s on the other side doin’ her homework; I couldn’t help her, she couldn’t help me, and neither of us could go outside until we were finished. I went to four high school proms, two were hers because she couldn’t find a baby sitter, two were mine. But that’s okay, because that’s at that last prom where my daughter was received. Hey, Promisha!
Amy Poehler: Finesse Mitchell, everyone!
Tina Fey: A man who had a heart attack while he was alone in his house was saved when his dog brought him the phone so he could call for help. However, it should be noted that for every one of these heartwarming stories there’s a million others where the dog just sits there like a moron and watches you die. (muttered) Dogs.
Amy Poehler: Stupid dogs.
On Thursday, more than 7,000 sites took place across the country in National Depression Screening Day, which screens the public for depression related illnesses. A spokesman for the group said, “I don’t know…uh.. turnout was okay, I mean I guess… just wasn’t as great as I thought…but, you know… it was a stupid idea anyway…so… I guess I’m just gonna go back to bed….”
Tina Fey: The newest trend among students at Brigham Young University are T-shirts that read, “I Can’t. I’m Mormon.” Which have been countered with T-shirts reading, “You Will. I’m Kobe.”
Amy Poehler: For “Weekend Update” I’m Amy Poehler.
Tina Fey: I’m Tina Fey. Goodnight, and have a pleasant tomorrow.
Head Scientist…..Chris Parnell Dave “Zinger” Clinger…..Seth Myers Sheila “Snaps” Alsnape…..Queen Latifah Scientist 1 (Roz)…..Rachel Dratch
Head Scientist: Okay, everyone, listen up. We’ve got a code blue irrigation malfunction in reactor four. As of now, it has been contained, but we are risking a full-scale meltdown in the next five minutes if we don’t locate the leak.
Dave “Zinger” Clinger: Bad news, I couldn’t locate the leak, but I did locate the geek. You just got zinged. (Mimed shooting “zing” guns.) Zing!
Head Scientist: I think you all know Dr. Dave Clinger, otherwise know as Dr. Dave Zinger.
Zinger: Clinger’s my name and Zinging is my game. Seriously, though, let’s find some hazardous material. Speaking of which, if that cologne was any more toxic, all our kids are going to be born retarded. Huge zing! Can you hold that for me? (Mimes handing the head scientist a board, punches it karate-style and bows.) Zing!
Head Scientist: Please listen. If this radiation leak is not contained, everyone in a fifty-mile radius will experience their hair falling out, teeth falling out, skin blistering.
Sheila “Snaps” Alsnape: Let me see if I’ve got this right: hair falling out, teeth falling out, and skin blistering. Were you talking about the meltdown, or were you describing your girlfriend? Oh, snap!
Head Scientist: Allow me to introduce the final member of our team, Dr. Sheila Alsnape.
Snaps: My friends call me Sheila Al-snap on account of my snaps.
Zinger: Hello, Snaps.
Snaps: Hello, Zinger.
Head Scientist: Do you two know each other?
Zinger: Snaps and I went to school together – nuclear school. I finished at the top of the class. She finished on top of the class. (Mimes marching band with “zing” cymbals.)
Snaps: Yeah, yeah right. Good one, Zinger. Look, we should just get to work. Okay?
Head Scientist: My goodness, Zinger, you’re completely irradiated.
Snaps: Oh, hold on, false alarm. This was my virgin detector. (Mimes snapping a huge rubber band.) Aah, snap!
Zinger: What can I say, Snaps, you still got it. And by it, I mean hair on your butt. (Mimes guitar playing “Wild Zing.”)
Head Scientist: Yeah. We got it. Wild Zing.
Snaps: At least I got hair, Zinger. You’re so hairless Michael Jackson still invites you to sleepovers. Ooh, that one was so good I got to start my Snap Mobile! (Mimes a hard start of her snap mobile.)
Head Scientist: Doctors, please! The core reactor temperature is redlining. There isn’t time. That’s why I respectfully request that you hold a best three-out-of-five zing-slash-snap-off to determine a champion.
Zinger: He’s right. He’s right. We need to do something. If we don’t this radiation will spread faster than your thighs at a frat party. Zing pong anyone? (Zinger and Snaps mime playing pingpong.) Yeah! Game! Set! Match! Zing!
Snaps: Alright, look Zings, let’s just finish this fast. And from what I hear, nobody finishes faster than you. Aah! Mousetrap. (Miming setting a mouse trap) Cheese. Mouse, mouse, mouse. Aah, snap!
Scientist 1: Doctors I’m getting an alarmingly high Geiger reading of 120.
Head Scientist: Will you shut up, Roz! Can’t you see the zing-off is tied one-to-one!
Snaps: Hey Zinger, she’s getting a 120. Isn’t that what you got on your SAT’s? Oh, baby, it’s cold outside. Put on a coat. (Mimes putting a coat on Zinger and then snapping it.)
Zinger: SATs, hunh, well the only SAT’s I know about, listen to this one, Roz, you’re going to like it. The only SATs I know about is when your mama S-A-T on my F-A-C-E.
Snaps: (Punches Zinger in the face.) Don’t you ever talk about my mama.
Zinger: That was not cool on my part! I was way out of line! I am sorry! I am sorry! But to be fair, we were just joking around.
Head Scientist: Okay everybody, cool out. Now we’ll get to the meltdown in a minute. But first, I need to know where you two stand.
Zinger: Are we cool?
Snaps: Yeah, we’re cool.
Zinger: Alright, so we can call it a tie?
Snaps: Yeah, it’s a tie. Your face is exactly as ugly as your ass!
Zinger: No!
Snaps: Aah snap!
Zinger: No! That is not fair! I should have done something!

Peter O’Toole: We’d like to thank our sponsors, Walker’s Crisps and the planet Mercury.
b>Michael Caine: Can anyone here direct us to the nearest gentlemen’s club?
[Gary stands.]
Gary: Uh, actually, uh…I know I’m going to regret this, but I’m headed to one right now.
b>Peter O’Toole: Othello!
Gary: Look, man, my name is Gary, you know what I’m saying? But wegotta get going, because after ten o’clock it’s a twenty dollar cover.
Peter O’Toole: Twenty dollars? Then we’d best hurry, for we arewithout money and have been so for ages! Exeunt!
[Peter moves toward the door, as Michael picks up a napkin dispenserand puts his hand on Gary’s shoulder]
Michael Caine: So, is this your first time in Kingsbridge?
Gary: Uh…dude, you’re in Detroit.
Michael Caine: That’s what you get for letting O’Toole drive.
[Michael staggers off as the title graphic reappears.]
[Opens with the trendy inventor with gray hair in a lab. He has a strong English accent.]
James Dyson: Hello there. I’m James Dyson. Inventor of the Dyson Vacuum….the first vacuum that doesn’t use suction.
[Cut to the yellow vacuum with a transparent, plastic, dust bag. Signature is written beside the toilet. James Dyson]
And now I’ve applied the same technology to another household necessity, the common toilet. You see, I was visiting a friend one weekend and after taking a particularly difficult Sunday-morning squat on what I thought was a pretty good commode,…
[Cut to James, pants around his ankles, taking a dump]
I was amazed by the lousy suction.
[Cut to James flushing, he is intrigued by the flush]
I realized there must be something terribly wrong with this design.
[Cut to James wearing protection glasses with his face in the toilet bowl making an examination]
I took the toilet apart and discovered the problem.
[James puts his hand deep in the toilet bowl]
A small amount of my discard was hopelessly clogged.
[James back in the lab]
So I decided to design something better. And a few thousand prototypes later I had it….the Dyson Toilet.
[The toilet is exactly like the vacuum but with a toilet bowl attached to it]
The first toilet that doesn’t use suction.
[Cut to James with his face next to the toilet bowl holding a pan filled with ravioli]
Just look at how it handles this massive load of pumpkin ravioli.
[James deposits the raviolis in the toilet bowl. A hard flush takes the raviolis into the transparent dust bag. Its a mess of water, meat, pasta, tomato sauce all smeared in the see-through bag.]
And those ravioli were quite dense. It’s brilliant, isn’t it?
The Dyson Toilet….the first toilet that doesn’t require plunging.
