'Pawnsylvania' actress offers to be Jake Tapper correspondent, Eagles hype clip and more Super Bowl videos
With just days left until the Eagles face off the New England Patriots, a series of videos are getting fans hyped up for the big game.
Comedy Central's Kroll Show may be over, but the internet can still get a dose of its popular "Pawnsylvania" sketch.
It looks like actress and producer Christine Nangle, who played Philadelphian Teresa on the segment that starred comedian Nick Kroll as pawn shop owner "Murph," is bringing back her thick South Philly accent to tell the internet just how excited she is for the Super Bowl.
Nangle posted a series of videos with the accent on Twitter Thursday, giving her thoughts on median parking, the King of Prussia mall and her Super Bowl plans. She then delivered a personal message to Philly-born CNN anchor and avid Eagles fan Jake Tapper. Her request? To assist CNN in Super Bowl.
"I highly respect you," Nangle said in the spot-on voice. "I put you in the same category as like, a Jim Gardner or a Monica Malpass or Ukee Washington or even like a Hurricane Schwartz, so that's like high praise coming from me."
Nangle, a Philly native and a writer/producer for Inside Amy Schumer and The President Show, flashed her 2014 Peabody Award as proof that she could help Tapper with his "journalism." The video has been viewed more than 100,000 times — including by Tapper himself. Apparently, the request rendered him speechless.
"This is so fantastic I don't know what to say," he tweeted.
Nangle's video isn't the only one showing off Philly's hype for Sunday's game. From fan-made clips to the Eagles' official video, there are plenty circulating online.
Take Haley Parks, a 21-year-old Rutgers University student, who was terrified that she missed the match between the Eagles and New England Patriots when she woke up from wisdom teeth surgery.
Luckily, her mom caught her hilarious reaction in a three-minute-long clip that's now been viewed nearly 2 million times on Facebook.
"I don't remember what I was actually saying, but I remember being there," Parks told the Inquirer and Daily News on Thursday. "When I watched it back I was just like, 'Oh my gosh.'"
Speaking of fans — 23-year-old St. Joseph's graduate Matt Conlin captures the authenticity of Eagles pride following the team's win against the Minnesota Vikings in the NFC championship game.
Conlin told Philadelphia magazine that he wanted to shed some light on the excitement that he felt instead of "what everyone sees negatively portrayed in the media."
"That was the biggest driving factor behind the video — giving a real look of what it means to tailgate," he told the publication.
His two-minute-long compilation has been viewed on YouTube more than 40,000 times.
The Eagles released their official hype video Thursday, which combines B-roll from the season, fan reaction and scenes across Philadelphia to get the blood pumping. Does the voiceover sound familiar? It should. The clip features the sweet sounds of Philly's own Bradley Cooper, according to For the Win.
Former Phillies Chase Utley is joining the hype train and bringing a few stars from It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia along for the ride.
In a short clip posted to social media on Thursday, Kaitlin Olson, who plays "Sweet Dee" on the show; Rob McElhenney, who plays "Mac;" and Utley himself are seen flapping their wings to the "Rocky" theme before "Fly Eagles Fly" appears at the bottom of the video.
