Announcer.....Chris Parnell Buddha.....Horatio Sanz Wife.....Maya Rudolph Chef.....Fred Armisen Follower.....Will Forte Announcer V/O: From Mel Gibson, the acclaimed director of “Braveheart,” comes a film about one of the greatest religious figures of all time. That’s right…Siddhartha Gautama, otherwise known as the Buddha. Throughout his life, this larger-than-life man had to make several difficult decisions… [Cut to the Buddha and his wife in their bedroom] Buddha: I’m sorry my beautiful princess but I must leave you now. Wife: Leave? What do you mean by leave? Buddha: Listen sweets, we’ve had some good times but the road is calling me. Wife: The road!!! Will ‘the road’ put food on the table? Will ‘the road’ pay your son’s tuition? Buddha: There’s nothing I can do about it, this is my dream. Wife: So, basically, what you’re saying is that you’re ditching your family for some crazy fantasy? Buddha: Yeah. Wife: (sarcastically) Good luck with that, hope it works out for you. Announcer V/O: And many great sacrifices… [Cut to a kitchen] Chef: Hey Buddha, you want another bowl of steamed vegetables? Buddha: Must resist…must think of all the poor people who go to bed hungry every night. Announcer V/O: All to achieve enlightenment… [Cut to the Buddha meditating under a tree] Buddha: I finally see the light!!! Follower: Silly Buddha, you’re staring directly at the Sun. Buddha: Ha ha ha ha…my eyes!!! Announcer V/O: “The Passion of the Buddha,” now playing in Tibetan Monasteries everywhere. Rate or review this sketch | Prior comments |
