Oasis stars Noel and Liam Gallagher invited Prime Minister Andy Burnham to join the band in a Russian phishing scam sketch on Saturday Night Live UK.
The comedy sketch show returned to screens with Chicken Shop Date Amelia Dimoldenberg as its host.
The episode’s opening featured George Fouracres as Burnham who strutted into No 10 North for a meeting with Housing Secretary Angela Rayner, played by Celeste Dring.
During their meeting, Ms Rayner told the PM that some “local lads” were waiting to meet him before Liam and Noel Gallagher, portrayed by Freddie Meredith and Jack Shep, stepped into the room.
Dressed in the Gallagher brothers’ trademark style, Liam’s khaki Parka and Noel’s leather jacket, the two musicians swaggered in.
“Noel and Liam Gallagher, what are you lads doing here?” Mr Burnham said.
“I am a huge fan of Oasis, and not just the good albums.”
The sketch later made a swipe at the Gallaghers’ football club Manchester City, which was found guilty on virtually all counts of breaching Premier League financial rules.
Liam said: “We got a gift, tickets to our next gig at the Etihad, the home of Man City, assuming the stadium don’t get repossessed before then.
“Only problem is we need someone to come and play guitar. You wouldn’t know anyone like that, would ya?”
Mr Burnham exclaimed that he knew how to play guitar and was invited into the band on the condition that he adds his details into a website.
As he adds his password, national insurance number and the name of his first pet, the lights dim and the Gallagher brothers transform into Russian agents.
Swapping his Mancunian accent for a Russian one, Noel said: “You have fallen for classic Russian internet phishing scam.
“Oasis is and has always been Russian psyop.”
The two revealed that with the Prime Minister’s passwords, the UK will become a Russian puppet state but Mr Burnham proudly stood up to them.
He said: “For too long Russia has tried to spread lies, stoke fears and on occasion convince prime ministers they were joining Oasis.
“But I’m asking you now lads, pack it in. Just because you have the power to do something, doesn’t mean you should.
“I for example could hold a general election tomorrow, and easily smash it. But as I announced yesterday I won’t do.
“I could. Maybe I should? But I won’t.”
Saturday night’s show also featured performances from musical guest, singer-songwriter Rachel Chinouriri.
Saturday Night Live UK can be streamed on Now TV.
