Taurus women in entertainment age pretty damn good, and that includes their appreciation for the young whipper-snappers - they're the eternal sophomoric jokesters with superb cheekbones, outrageously good looks and figures, and an insatiable hunger to yuck it up with the guys - make her yuck and you've got a buddy and maybe even a wife - make her cringe or frown, and she'll lay verbal haymakers on your soul until you adjust to her sensibilities -maybe that's how they stay young. Cher, Katharine Hepburn, Ann Margret, Carol Burnett, Toni Tennille, Bea Arthur, Valerie Bertinelli, Kirsten Dunst, Gal Gadot.
I use the simile "like a feisty young Ann Margaret" whenever possible. Example: "Yeah, can you have someone come over to fix my dryer? It's shaking and shimmying like a feisty young Ann Margaret."
Hilarious skit by Kirsten Wiig 😂. Her portrayal of Ann Margret in this movie scene is spot-on, yet not degrading. Although poking fun at Ann Margret, I feel this is actually a tribute to her and her movies of the 1960s.
sorry she did not nail it... Ann Margaret did not just stand there shacking her arms . This is an attempted imitation of the red top black tight dance scenes Ann did in Viva Las Vegas. One scene with a dance crew behind Ann on a stage and the other scene directly opposite Elvis . For anyone interested check them out on You Tube. This girl in this vieo doesnt even come close . Her hair is the same colour and length as Ann's , her cloths are similar in style ... But that is it
@@andrewmiller4885 ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-XH2K9N16VMY.html Sorry andrew but you can´t be more wrong. The original dance, looks like a parody! It is a horrible dance, Ann Margaret moves like an amateur and Kristen nailed it perfectly. This is just my opinion everyone can judge it themselves in the original video.
People have RU-vid. Ann Margaret movie clips are on RU-vid. We may never have heard of her, but I searched for movie clips of her dancing immediately after watching this. Then I watched this again to compare. It was funny both before and after. Only thing that changed was realizing just how talented Wigg was to pull that off.
@@barbarawebb7185 I thought so. It was mostly done futon the inside to fix bone injuries as opposed to facial cuts. I think this happened around the early 70’s.
@@aarondavid5866 "do all the facial gestures that ann did".... right. Go look in the mirror and try to perfectly impersonate 'all the facial gestures' of an actor of your choosing, and see how easy it is to imitate someone on the spot or even after a few days of pratcice. Then try doing it while vigorously dancing, in front of a massive crowd of people. Actually instead of doing all that, just try to think before you type stuff
@@AtypicalAdventurer It *did* bomb. I've seldom heard so little laughter for an SNL skit. By the way, doing Ann-Margret's facial gestures isn't *that* difficult. Some performers are difficult to mimic, yet Ann-Margret? Come on, her facial expressions were pretty simple.
Obviously Kristen is amazing, but can we take a second to appreciate the production design of this era of SNL? A lot of the sketches have sets better than high budget movies.
I think it was “Viva Las Vegas”, around the early 1960s, that Ann-Margret did this dance routine. Kristen has all of those dance moves down to a science!
For realz tho. Such a spot on caricature that at the same time isn't a caricature at all. It's not mean in any way. Actually, it's highlighting what Ann-Margret did, which was pretty groovy. And it's danced so well. Wiig has such delicate control. She juuust gets her message across, while still being funny and tightly on pace. Impressive.
I can't find it but there was a skit with Melanie Hutsell as Monica Seles at home grunting in the kitchen when she did simple things like open the fridge door or open a can of Coke. Hilarious.
Pre-spandex era, but she filled the theatre seats and drive-ins. A tried-and-true formula that gave the elasticity of LEVI'S worn by many a young male of that era (and their elders, in Daxs, Sansabelts, or.... whatever) quite a test. Adam bought into it first, and we're still still weak, but in a good way!
The real Anne Margaret was such a fireball of energy, there sure weren't too many like her around, but this lady came as close as anyone can - and it was very funny too I might add
I’ve always LOVED Ann-Margret and I thought I’d be upset seeing her mocked…. but this is funny! Wiig totally nails Ann’s kinetic dance moves from the ‘64 era.
Is there ANYTHING Kristen can't do??? OMG she is the QUEEN of COMEDY!!! She is a brilliant actor too. And the way she can morph into any look...she has never failed to not only entertain, but impress me every time.
@mplight294 I hope you will reply to this did you see that movie she was in called Bridesmaids????...if you did did you like it????!!!!!!...cause I want to see it one of my favorite girl groups was in it Wilson Phillips they sang their smash hit Hold On
Aw, this was so great; but I bet it went over the audience’s heads. “Viva Las Vegas” was before most of our time, but I happened to catch it on tv when I was a kid and just fell in love w/ it, Ann-Margret, and her dancing. Loved it enough to learn that particular dance routine, myself.
This is one of my favorite underrated Kristen wiig sketches. Because she not only looks like her, but if you have ever seen viva Las Vegas, she nailed her dancing.
Dana Carvey and Kristen Wiig are the only Two who were "hired on spot" after the first auditions... That alone should tell you that this woman is the queen of all sketch.
I didn't even know who Ann Margaret was and this wouldn't have been funny if I hadn't just watched "Ann Margaret Bill Bailey Screen Test" on here for some reason. Since I did, this is gold
Oh god. I did look up Ann Margret. I watched the scene where she's dancing in the stage and man, she's nailing it. But of course the original is much more polished. HAHAHAHAHA.
My point exactly. A generation from the previous generation of the disposable society, with only spirits of the previous generations before her! Not a put-down, please. We just discard, like our elders, not preserving anything, or to have the discards SOLD BACK TO US!
Yes, again, pre-spandex era. I do recall a scene with Miss -Margret a bit more revealing, but who can forget the hilarious creativity she staged in changing clothes in BYE BYE BIRDIE?
She got Ann-Margret icon moves down to a tea. I just enjoyed watching the whole dance sequence. lol! Thanks for sharing and blessing to you and all in the days to come.
Kristen Wiig is easily the best comedienne of her generation. Nobody comes even remotely close. Her take on Ann-Margret was totally accurate. Anybody who has seen the real-life character with Elvis, in "Viva Las Vegas", will smile at this brilliant impersonation. It must have taken many hours of practice to get AM's moves, but KW is a true professional. That's why she is at the top of her game.
She was spot on and it solidified how much Ann_Margaret made an ass of herself in the movie. She acted like a bitch in heat. Didn't get her what she wanted in the long run because he married someone else.
I think there might be stores that sell retro-furniture and décor from various periods, including the early-1960's. Although if there are, they're probably all online.
Kristen Wiig has everything in her. She can play a huge range of characters. She can be funny, serious, rough, sweet... and of course, she's so lovely!
Whenever I watch Kristin I know I will laugh. She's so talented and hot that it's obscene. It's close to being criminally prosecutable. And right before she says, "let's make this happen" the musical horns combined with her facial expression are pure genius. At 63 I was around watching her during her prime and this hilarious imitation is spot-on. Cheers
Agreed. I think she should have been cast as Lucy (not Nicole Kidman). She is hilarious, I love watching her and she seems like a very sweet person in real life. She's a comedy dream come true.
