Funny or Lame: Taylor Swift's SNL 'Twilight' Spoof

Funny or Lame: Taylor Swift's SNL 'Twilight' Spoof

By: Erik Davis on November 9, 2009 at 2:44PM Comments (10)

If you managed to catch Saturday Night Live over the weekend, then you probably watched this week's host, Taylor Swift, poke a little fun at Twilight in a parody trailer for a film called Firelight. Here, instead of a girl falling deeply in love with a vampire, Swift plays a girl who, aside from biting her lip, like, a lot, falls for Frankenstein. Oh yes, when "The Franks" invade a small town high school, things take a drastic turn for the weird as our heroine does all she can to keep her relationship with Frankenstein going without being accidentally strangled by her one true love.

I thought the spoof was cute, and Swift definitely deserves kudos for turning out a pretty hilarious performance – not just in this video, but throughout the entire episode. But what do you Twi-hards think of the video? Was Swift funny enough to star in her own spin-off spoof movie called Firelight, or was this video simply too lame to deserve any kind of attention?

Watch the video below and sound off in the comments…

    perfect - while reading NEW MOON, you half expect other Universal monsters to emerge in Forks, Washington and start chasing after Bella - it reads like an SNL parody when she says, "it's bad enough when your best friend turns into a werewolf, but why does he have to be a monster too?" so kudos to SNL for picking up on the solemn absurdity of the entire concept
