Cool Videos: The Rock rocks it as Bambi in this live-action SNL spoof

Over the weekend Dwayne Johnson hosted Saturday Night Live for the fourth time, and one of the best moments from the episode was a live-action take on Disney's BAMBI ("From the director of FURIOUS 7") starring Johnson as a revenge seeking buck. Bambi teams up with his woodland friends Thumper, Flower and Faline to take on the hunters who killed his mom (spoiler alert?) in this hilarious parody trailer, and it features some absolutely fantastic one-liners from Johnson.

This is why I would love to see Dwayne Johnson do more comedic work. Sure, he's good at looking mean and kicking ass, but he is also a very funny dude with great timing.

"What's the matter? Never seen a deer in headlights?"

Dwayne Johnson's FURIOUS 7 hits theaters on April 3, 2015.
