Remember The Ambiguously Gay Duo, the most popular recurring bit on TV Funhouse, an animated interlude on Saturday Night Live? The Robert Smigel-written cartoon starred the voices of pre-hitting-it-huge Stephen Colbert and Steve Carell as Ace and Gary, two crimefighters who made the subtextual sexuality of spandex superheroes surprisingly explicit. On the latest episode of SNL, TV Funhouse returned, bringing Ace and Gary with it. This time, though, the duo ends up in live action, as played by Jon Hamm and Jimmy Fallon. Carell and Colbert even show up in unexpected roles, along with Ed Helms. Dally no longer. Watch it now, friend of friends.
Hey, it's a Daily Show correspondent reunion between Helms, Colbert, and Carell.
Interestingly, The Ambiguously Gay Duo actually started out on the short-lived The Dana Carvey Show, on which Smigel was a writer, along with co-creator J.J. Sedalmaier. Also fun trivia: Robert Smigel is the man behind Triumph the Insult Comic Dog.
This should provide a tiny bit of relief for everybody desperate to see Jon Hamm playing an unexpectedly effeminate Superman in Man of Steel. Or maybe not. Either way, hope you enjoyed the sight of Jimmy Fallon's buttcheeks knocking people unconscious.
