Cheese and\u00a0<em>Family Guy <\/em>character Peter Griffin dunking a basketball. The cast of characters mainly consists of Peter Davidson as the student portraying rapper Eminem dressed as Batman\u2019s sidekick Robin, Chris Redd&#8217;s Morpheus from <em>The Matrix<\/em> franchise, and a hapless &#8220;man with a mop&#8221; \u2014 played by musical guest Jack Harlow \u2014 who provides the most succinct explanation of the tokens.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Non-fungible means that it&#8217;s unique,&#8221; he rapped. &#8220;There can only be one like you and me.

The billionaire and Tesla CEO posted a video clip playing a song\u00a0which featured a pair of diamond hands underneath the moon with Shiba Inu dogs circling. Musk later <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/elonmusk\/status\/1371969967176957956\">said<\/a> he didn&#8217;t &#8220;feel quite right selling&#8221; it as an NFT.<\/p>\n<p>In the final seconds of the Saturday Night Live sketch, the three characters as well as &#8220;Yellen&#8221; are cut out of the still frame and pasted into a background of the Abbey Road crossing from the Beatles\u2019 album, revealing an NFT selling for 420 Ether (ETH) \u2014 roughly $718,000 at the time. <\/p>\n<p><template data-name=\"subscription_form\" data-type=\"defi_newsletter\"><\/template><\/div>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
