I have to admit, I totally agreed with Samberg's spoof - periodically Wahlberg's jerky speech and urban persona ruin roles for me (The Happening). However, I have also enjoyed his other, more believeable acting parts (The Italian Job). Despite my opinion of his work, the skit was just plan ridiculous - but hilarious! Just about everyone else I know enjoyed it and has been using &amp;quot;Say hi to your mother for me&amp;quot; every chance they get. I was afraid that because of his poor attitude reported intially that Mark Wahlberg would forever be a jerk to me. I'm happy to report that he has totally redeemed himself in my eyes. I'm just hoping that Max Payne is more convincing than The Happening...</description></item><item><title>OK, OK, Mark Wahlberg can take a joke</title><link>http://testpattern.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2008/10/20/1570572.aspx#1572262</link><pubDate>Mon, 20 Oct 2008 19:18:40 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:1572262</guid><dc:creator>wray</dc:creator><description>it wasnt even funny when mark does it. it was really bad</description></item><item><title>OK, OK, Mark Wahlberg can take a joke</title><link>http://testpattern.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2008/10/20/1570572.aspx#1572311</link><pubDate>Mon, 20 Oct 2008 19:30:50 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:1572311</guid><dc:creator>Marti, Beavertom, OR</dc:creator><description>It was very funny! When both did it! I love Mark Wahlberg. I've loved him since Marky Mark. (Yeah I know he hates being called that) but it was at one point a persona that he portrayed. I think what people don't understand is he's a very private person who loves his job and tries to be respectful but he's not an actor who &amp;nbsp;schmoozes and kisses ass all the time like some others do. It should be about his talent, not his personal feelings on anything one way or the other...</description></item></channel></rss>
