VIDEO OF THE DAY: 'SNL' renders garments to spoof 'The Cape'
Last weekend, NBC's superhero drama "The Cape" -- in which the cliched "honest cop" Vince Faraday (David Lyons) becomes the titular masked crusader, fighting crime in Palm City -- debuted to mixed reviews and nearly 9-million viewers. This weekend, it was "Saturday Night Live's" turn to render judgment.
"SNL" spoofed the cape itself as standard superhero garb, imagining what other garments -- from sleeping masks to Spanx -- might imbue their wearers with quasi-superpowers.
Comic Riffs' favorite is "The Smock," in part because Bill Hader -- who has co-written a Spider-Man story with "SNL" head writer Seth Meyers -- is such a big-time fanboy himself.
Here 'tis, the internecine NBC spoofage:
