‘SNL’ praises “short-ass movies,” speaking up for all us tired folks

A new Saturday Night Live video praised “short-ass movies,” the types of films appreciated by those of us too tired to stay awake for a 3-hour epic.

The pre-taped video — featuring musical guest Gunna, actor Simon Rex, and cast members Pete Davidson and Chris Redd — sang the praises of films with a run-time under two hours for “a simple man with no attention span.”

The surprise appearance by Rex, who plays a rapping alter ego named Dirt Nasty, is a funny twist, which results in the actor suggesting folks watch the Ernest movies for their tiny runtimes alone.

And be sure to stick around for the end of the song, during which Davidson compares Sex and the City 2 and Jurassic Park — you’ll never guess which movie is longer.
