Video: Taylor Lautner Karate Kicks Kanye West in Saturday Night Live Spoof

Entertainment December 13, 2009 AT 11:36AM

Taylor Lautner sure got a kick out of hosting Saturday Night Live.

In the New Moon actor's opening monologue, he used his years of martial arts training to behead a Kanye West mannequin for heckling "really close" friend Taylor Swift as she accepted her Best Female Video award last summer.

Will the two Taylors last? Find out what our body language expert says about their relationship.

In the skit, Lautner, 17, says he wished he'd stuck up for Swift, 19, on the VMA stage as he presented her with the award.

Revisit the most talked-about MTV VMA moments.

"What I really wanted to do was this," Lautner deadpans, as he starts wielding a sword and karate kicks a West mannequin, beheading him.

See how Lautner bulked up for his New Moon role.

"You are the bravest man I've ever known," a high-pitched voice intended to be Swift's, says before Lautner goes in to kiss her cardboard likeness to close the scene.

    kanye needs help with dealing with whatever demons he's dealing with but his head is getting to big.

    i read that the unlikely pair share the same management ties as howard stern and eminem... insiders know it was staged but the participants never publicly admit it. that's too bad for Kane... since his Mom's death & fiancées departure, he hasn't been right.

    Wow! some of you are really stupid. Do you really think Taylor wrote this for the show. He is the host and he has to do the skits. Stop being so ignorant as far as Taylor Swift goes. She is a real person, not some persona. She is down to earth, and guess what? She can sing! They make a beautiful couple and I hope they keep making music together.

  • December 14, 2009 - 9:37am Ashlee

    Kanye is a joke! His music suks and so does he. I wouldnt listen to his garbage - thats just what it is - garbage!

  • December 14, 2009 - 9:33am Jenene

    People really need to get over the Kanye/ T Swift thing. It really wasn't that big of a deal. Some people act like he backhanded her in the mouth. He acted inappropriately, not criminally. And the real gotcha is...Kanye did have a point.

  • December 14, 2009 - 9:23am just saying

    i said it fifty millons times taylor got all of her awards from pity votes, yes that was messed up by what stupid azz kanye did, but for the country singers to stoop as low as kanye makes them look like azzholes. i am not a fan of kanye at all, but i'm getting real sick of the pick nicking, and to dushawn do you know the difference between real and not real. kanye won't need a sword to kick this young boys azz.think about it!!!!!!! give kanye a couple of shots of hennessy and he may go balistic on that little boy!

    For all of you defending Kanye, f**k all of y'all. He deserves this and more. This was not the first time he does this and he is bound to do it again. I hate Kanye and his music. He sucks Ba*ls..

  • December 14, 2009 - 4:06am dushawn mandikk

    Kanye would get his a** handed to by this dude. This you see him wielding that sword?

  • December 14, 2009 - 3:36am jill

    Lol this is getting ridiculous. That show was not good at all. A blind man can tell that show was not funny since it did not get laughs. Poster look so stupid saying that show was great lol. Really you guys are starting to make your self look stupid. Too bad you didn't know when to stop.

  • December 14, 2009 - 2:51am Jennifer

    3 months later and Taylor is still crying about Kanye's outburst. LOL! Pathetic.
