In a lively shoutout to Saturday Night Live, Liam Gallagher has once again showcased his irreverent humor and feisty personality. This morning, the iconic frontman of Oasis took to X (formerly Twitter) to share his thoughts on a recent SNL sketch that poked fun at his ongoing feud with brother Noel Gallagher during the “Weekend Update” segment.

In a straightforward, yet cheeky remark, Liam questioned the comedic merits of the performers, writing, “Are they meant to be comedians?” Comedian Sarah Sherman, who impersonated him in the skit, quickly responded with, “LEGEND 🙌 !!!!!!!!,” celebrating the playful take on their sibling rivalry.

The sketch, led by host Colin Jost, hilariously depicted the notoriously contentious relationship between the Gallagher brothers, who remain at odds over most topics except for their shared adoration for certain cartoon characters and their favorite "Sex and the City" boyfriends. The comedic narrative humorously referenced their long-standing feud, which has historical roots dating back to a memorable moment in 1993 when Noel made a jibe about Liam's “crooked nob” during a performance in front of the Spice Girls at Wembley Stadium.

Throughout the three-minute parody, the two actors engaged in comedic antics, including playful mock fights and tongue-sticking, while also delivering a humorous twist on the lyrics of Oasis's monumental hit “Wonderwall.” In a comedic twist, Johnson's exaggerated portrayal of Noel sang, “We said maybe, if Liam doesn’t act like a baby,” a line that resonated amid whispers of a potential band reunion.

Adding to the humor, Jost chimed in with a humorous plea for the brothers to reconcile, stating, “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.”

The buzz around an Oasis reunion has been rampant since late summer, following 15 years marred by discord and a dramatic fallout in 2009 after a physical altercation prior to a concert in Paris, which led to Noel's exit from the band. The notorious feud has captivated fans, with the brothers trading barbs in interviews and social media for over a decade.

Oasis, which took the music scene by storm upon its formation in 1991, is credited with ushering in the Britpop era with their record-breaking debut album, “Definitely Maybe.” The band’s legacy continues to thrive, as evidenced by their 21 million listeners on Spotify and a recent surge in ticket sales that has overwhelmed Ticketmaster.

Just last month, excitement swelled as Oasis announced a North American leg of their worldwide tour, “Oasis Live ’25.” Fans are now hopeful that the comedic banter is a sign of mending fences and that a long-awaited reunion could be on the horizon.
