Mark Wahlberg, a Dorchester native who has gone on to star in a slew of big-budget Hollywood flicks including the upcoming "Max Payne," slams the "Saturday Night Live" sketch called "Mark Wahlberg Talks To Animals."In a feature in yesterday's NY Post, Wahlberg says:
"Someone showed it to me on YouTube. It wasn't like Tina Fey doing Sarah Palin, that's for sure. And 'Saturday Night Live' hasn't been funny for a long time," he bites. "They've asked me to do the show a ton of times. I used to watch it when Eddie Murphy was there and Joe Piscopo and Bill Murray. I don't even know who's on the show now."
In the sketch, comic Andy Samberg mocks Wahlberg as he chats with a barnyard of animals including a chicken, a goat, a donkey and a dog. The skit, which has gone viral here, labels the bit as "Barky Bark and the Donkey Bunch."

UPDATE: Wahlberg threatened to beat up Andy Samberg on Jimmy Kimmel's show on Thursday, Oct. 16. The Boston native tells Kimmel he would track down Samberg and "crack that big (bleep)ing nose of his."
On Saturday, Oct. 18, Wahlberg made a cameo on "SNL" where he confronts Samberg while mocking the "Mark Wahlberg Talks To Animals" skit. Of course, Wahlberg used the on-air showdown to plug his new movie, "Max Payne."
