SNL UK Skewers Oasis Brothers as Russian Spies
26 Sep
Summary
- UK Prime Minister Andy Burnham was depicted on SNL UK.
- Oasis brothers Noel and Liam Gallagher were revealed as spies.
- Burnham was asked to step in as Oasis's guitarist.
The recent episode of Saturday Night Live UK opened with a sketch featuring Andy Burnham, played by George Fouracres, in his role as UK Prime Minister. Following a speech where he confronted Russia, Burnham was approached by Noel and Liam Gallagher, portrayed by Jack Shep and Freddie Meredith respectively. The brothers, depicted as the band Oasis, invited Burnham to be their guitarist.
This offer quickly turned into a reveal that the 'Oasis' members were, in fact, Russian spies. The sketch humorously suggested Oasis's music was created by Kremlin scientists and critiqued the band's dynamic ticket pricing. Burnham ultimately ordered the spies to cease their activities and return to being Oasis.
