Watch Pete Davidson, Gunna, & Dirt Nasty Rap About Short-Ass Movies On SNL
Pete Davidson returned to Saturday Night Live this weekend after taking a break to film a new movie, and he came back with a rap song about short-ass movies. Alongside musical guest Gunna, Simon Rex reviving his Dirty Nasty persona, and cast member Chris Redd, they celebrated the joys of watching an under 90-minute film. There are thumbnail recreations of shorties like The Lion King and Austin Powers, and jokes about famously long movies like Amadeus, Once Upon A Time In America, and Heat. Davidson goes to see the new 3-hour The Batman and pisses his pants. Rex plays Ernest P. Worrell. There’s even a joke about the Davidson-starring Judd Apatow flick The King Of Staten Island, which clocks in at 2hr17m. Watch below.
Here is Gunna performing on the show, with an appearance from Future:
