Monday Afternoon Diversion: Bjork, Economist

And this is another why we love Kristen Wiig. When the sketch first aired, I was in another room and only heard the audio. My first thought was, "My God, they actually landed Bjork for this bit." Whatever you think of SNL these days, this sketch is proof they can still churn out some good stuff.

oh, my, this is hilarious. thanks for sharing.

Thanks for sharing this. I saw this this weekend, and felt the same way you did. She doesn't look anything like her, but the voice similarity freaks me out.

My favorite part:

"Worse than the Reindeer Uprising of 2012...it's coming."

to a longtime bjork fan the SNL impressions of her are painfully infantile and crass. (i think there was an earlier one, maybe it was somewhere else.) reminds me of yoko ono syndrome, which is a thinly veiled misogyny/racism/xenophobia cloaked in a resentment for anyone who acts in a less than socially conformist way. fuck off and die, SNL.

1234567890's comment is so much funnier if you imagine Kristen Wiig reciting it as Bjork.
