Video: 'SNL' Alum Cheri Oteri Tries Out For The Luvabulls In Mockumentary

Cheerleading is hard. Just ask Sage McMurphy, an "intrinsically-trained dancer" played by former "Saturday Night Live" cast member Cheri Oteri in this mini-mockumentary featuring the Luvabulls.

Oteri's McMurphy describes her dance style as a mélange of "hip-hop/dubstep/salsa/merengue/ballet hyper fusion," emphasis on the hyper. McMurphy changes her tryout number from 300 to 300,000 because she wants to stand out. (That's in case her utter lack of dance ability already doesn't achieve that for her.)

In the end, McMurphy's je ne sai quoi leads to an unexpected decision by the judges.
