“Are they meant to be comedians,” the musician wrote, which Sherman quote-responded by writing, “LEGEND 🙌 !!!!!!!!” in reference to the skit’s heavy usage of the word.
The bit, introduced by host Colin Jost, featured the two notoriously feuding brothers, who can’t seem to agree on anything but their favorite cartoon characters and Sex and the City boyfriends. The origins of their feud supposedly trace back to when Johnson’s Noel Gallagher made fun of Sherman’s Liam Gallagher’s “crooked nob” that was “bended like Beckham” in front of the Spice Girls in 1993 at the Wembley Stadium.
Over the course of the three-minute-long sketch, the two play-fight, stick their tongues out at each other and parody lyrics from Oasis’ smash hit “Wonderwall,” with Johnson belting that they’ll possibly go on tour: “We said maybe, if Liam doesn’t act like a baby.”
“Listen, I really need your tour to work out ’cause I already bought tickets, and I’m about to mosh out so hard that I win White Boy of the Year Award,” Jost said.
Chatter of an Oasis reunion began in late summer of this year, after a 15-year split following a physical altercation between the two brothers in 2009 ahead of a concert in Paris, which led to Noel Gallagher’s departure from the group. Since then, the feud has been famously documented, with frontman Liam Gallagher having sued guitarist-songwriter Noel Gallagher and the two lobbing insults at each other for years in the press.
Oasis, formed in 1991, pioneered an era of “Britpop,” with their first album Definitely Maybe becoming the fastest selling debut album ever. Their popularity remains undimmed with 21 million listers on Spotify, with Ticketmaster experiencing a slew of issues following surges in concert ticket demands.
Last month, the group announced a North American leg to their worldwide tour Oasis Live ’25.
