It feels a bit late for Argo-related jokes, but that’s okay, because seeing Fred Armisen play Ahmadinejad playing Ben Affleck was lovely. In this sketch, Ahmadinejad, miffed about apparent falsehoods in Argo, releases his own film called “Bengo F— Yourself,” and casts himself as the star, Ben Affleck. He wears a Red Sox hat the whole time, and insists on repeating “pahk the cah in Hahvahd Yahd” before all of his lines to acquaint himself with the Boston accent. The real Affleck plays a sound guy, and explains, “Why would I agree to appear in this movie? Well, to be honest, I’ve long been looking to appear in a movie worse than Gigli.”
