Jack Sparrow - SNL Digital Short

[@ericjamieson]

Michael Bolton popping up into frame with his little pirate hat and singing "Now back to the good part!" is one of the funniest things ever filmed.

[@remychase]

Literally read this comment just as Michael Bolton popped up into frame with his little pirate hat and sang “Now back to the good part.”

[@12mountain]

1000% yes 😂👏🏼

[@francescaa8331]

Major props to Michael Bolton for actually being hilarious!!!

[@cf-4233]

Honestly, this song is what turned me into a 100% Michael Bolton fan. And I know I'm not the only one. This one song basically gave his career a huge boost, and he's been riding that wave ever since. And good for him.

I love how his "Pirates" parts just devolve into naming the characters and ends with "Giant squid." lmao.

[@NerdLifts]

Lol. The way he describes all the movies is how a moron with zero attention span would.

[@LikeUntoBuddha]

HUGE PROPS to anyone that goes with making fun of themselves.

[@ATJ253]

I agree, but I don’t think anyone was making fun of Michael Bolton or themselves?

[@ATJ253]

frank bonini I understand what you’re saying conceptually; however, I don’t think Michael Bolton has been mocked for being a cinephile? He’s been made fun of for going from a rock band to making love songs, his long flowing Fabio hair, his lyrics in aforementioned songs, but I’ve never seen/heard anyone say Michael Bolton is a cinephile, nor seen anyone privately or publicly perceive him as such. I agree with you that Michael Bolton is a very cool guy and is able to laugh at himself, I just don’t think he’s doing that here.

[@dr.aisaitl7439]

I love the "close enough" 'cause Scarface is at least almost in the neighborhood of what they wanted.

[@noelgreene2848]

I have a new respect for Michael Bolton. He has a great voice and he is such a good sport. His hooks are great with the Lonely Island's rap. I've lost count on how many times I've listened to this, but it never gets old!

[@SDXStudio]

He also might be tangentially responsible for the murders of Nicole Brown and Ron Goldman! Fun!
