Changing Channels

Standing alone against a black backdrop, Darren explains that the network wants the show to win over casual channel-flippers, so the next bit is a deliberate grab for attention. A breathless blonde anchor in a laboratory then teases a scandalous presidential tape, while a masked man with a bow and a lab-coated scientist loiter behind her and a purple ticker and countdown timer pile on the hype. The tease abruptly gives way to a bargain-bin spoof of Saturday Night Live's opening, with mock cast credits such as Andy Samberg, Adam Sandler, Sandy Sandbirds and Colonel Sanders, before Darren returns to point out that the viewers are now stuck with the show.

Third segment of the fourth season's second episode, which aired on IFC on June 18, 2010 and was directed by troupe members Zach Cregger and Trevor Moore. Its closing montage spoofs Saturday Night Live's opening credits.
