Gourt Home::Gourt :: The Boston Teens
The Boston Teens are a group of characters from Saturday Night Live featured in a large amount of sketches.
Denise "Zazu" McDonough (Rachel Dratch) and Pat Sullivan, or 'Sully' (Jimmy Fallon), were a pair of Boston teenagers in love. The sketches are presented in the format of home video footage filmed by their unseen friend, Tommy. They have a torrential relationship, often arguing and making up in the same sentence. A prime example of this is Denise's tendency to say, "You're retarded," to which Sully replies, "You are" and immediately starts making out with her. Denise and Sully are featured in all twelve sketches. Frankie Hilbert (Horatio Sanz), a long-haired, bespectacled burnout was in all but the first. Donnie Bartalotti, played by non-cast member Ben Affleck, appeared three times (though there were plans for more). In the final Boston Teens sketch, he got married to Michael Smith, or 'Smitty' played by Seth Meyers as a response to the fact that Massachusetts had recently legalized gay marriage.
The characters are very devoted fans of the Boston Red Sox, and used the name of former star shortstop Nomar Garciaparra as a catchphrase, though with a highly affected Boston accent, pronounced as "Nomah!" Garciaparra had a cameo in one of the skits.
