12 Years a Slave Auditions - Saturday Night Live 

Wait when did he say that, didn’t catch it!

@@Jonathan-qz9td it's not in the video

Cool

didn't destroy leo's in, django...

Was👷‍♀️🙄🙄🙄🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌

Right I can imagine the actors looking at the script 😳

THIS RIGHT HERE. I. never. even. THOUGHT about it HAHA

There's nothing uncomfortable

It wouldn't get casted at all today. All the "white" actors would be black guys wearing whiteface.

@@JohnSmith-pe6wo and you know this, how?

Yeah... What if you end up getting typecast that way? Huge possibility, considering it's probably not a popular part among actors. Typecast as a racist, yeah no thanks.

My boyfriend went to a HS where he was one of the few white people. In every play they performed that had a racist white character, he played the part. He was good, but people who didn't know him thought he was sus AF.

@@megerber How's is he did he pursue acting?

It’s called acting that’s the craft! That’s what they get paid big money to do! And great actors can pull off very uncomfortable parts

That's only because people are super sensitive these days, they really don't separate the art from the artist either.

That's Jay Pharoah

And thats just a black jean jacket.

@@decembersveryown5935 The black beret is a symbolic part of their uniform

He wasn't wearing a mask though? R.I.P Chad Boseman.

Frfr

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

He just wanted to be friendly field guy 🤣🤣

😭😭😭💀💀

😂😂😂😂😂

🤣🤣🤣

That was hilarious

He was reading for Brad Pitt's part maybe?

That part and when he seen the words on the script and just decided to ball the paper up🤣🤣🤣

Friendly How?

@@danielabilez3619 watch the film…it’s terribly sad but Brad’s character was friendly

Right! He got that stare down packed!

And him pointing to his eyes 😂

Hahahah got that Black Panther uniform on

say it to the camera !

OMG!!! He was giving me ‘87 Robert Townsend “Hollywood Shuffle” nostalgic vibes 😆😆😆

Makes me want to burn down half of Alabama or Mississippi when I watch it.

Oh i never noticed that was Michael fassbenders early work

Dude was fire 🔥🔥

Exactly! He is one of my favorite actors and all throughout the movie I hated him but I also wanted him to protect Lupita (forgot charac name) from his Karen wife but I had to tell myself this was a movie based on a real life experience.

@@magicscoolbus3834 How about Paul Giamatti's character?

Lies again? Sex Slave

The word is 'rein' not reign.

@@ShahidKhan-ke8fe thanks 🙄

As he eyeballs the camera guy. LOL LOL LOL

😂😂😂

Ashleigh Yup, one....and Brad Pitt's already got it.

😂😂😂😂😂

Ashleigh I’m crying lmao

Why North ?

Dania most of the north wanted the slaves to be free

They say it while listening to Gangsta rap in their Car, so what's the difference; still getting paid!

Leonardo DiCaprio in Django is one of the greatest performances ever and it doesn't get talked about much for obvious reasons... 😂

Yeah, so challenging. They get paid hundreds of thousands, to millions upon millions of dollars, to dress up and pretend. Gtfoh with that nonsense.

@@cbrreezzyy69 If it was that easy yo goofy ass would be up there making an Oscar acceptance speech next year lol.....

I think Timmy Chalamet or someone said that in order to really act you have to kill the part of your brain that feels shame.

@@dawb86 i think lego once broke down during a take. sam jackson talks about, where leo went to tarantino and was talking about how uncomfortable he was with how many n words was in the script. so sam jackson pulled him aside and told him not to worry about it. i mean jackson didn't use those words but it's a funny story.

🤣🤣🤣

It would have been fun if he started channeling Indiana Jones.

@@timbuktu8069 Or his great-grandparents.

@@timbuktu8069 in high school I had a pretty sweet Indiana Jones costume for Halloween, complete with the bullwhip. I was running late for class and all the other kids were inside the classroom except for one… the only black kid in my class! I was wondering why he was staring at me so intensely until I looked down and realized I had the whip in my hand just casually swinging it around. I’ll never forget the look on that kids face. I felt so bad.

@@GrizzlyTank That is what's wrong today. A lot of people have a very small lens through which they see the world. You say whip and some people can only see slavery, not Indiana Jones, not wagon trains or stage coaches. These are the same people who get triggered by words like black board, black holes or Black Friday. As a result conversation ends. It's sad really.

He's Sheldon even here

That's what I used to tell my baby sitter

🤣🤣🤣🤣

hahahahah

@Marcus-Aerilius Maximus don't like DT in the slightest, but there's literally no reason to ham-fist politics into someone elses comment like this. If you want to make political commentary, make your own comment.

I saw Steve McQueen in The Magnificent Seven and he didn't look or sound like that at all!

@@cloud5buster 😂😂😂

I'd love to be in a room with him and some cast members as they watch this skit.

barbaro267 some of the live sketches aren't funny but their digital stuff is always good.

barbaro267 h

One laugh every 3 minutes.

Robert Beauregard Blanchette < Progress sucks, doesn't it? Now get back to your horse cart, whale-oil lamps and "conservative" humor.

Funny af that part was boooy

😂🤣🤣

How much you want to bet it took a while to make this skit.

😂🤣😂... I'm so dead

@@deandremoore8451 $20..🤝

Funniest line of the skit lmao

😂😂😂😂 Exactly my thoughts.

nah, he's a pro, maybe his first time but after that he was good

@@poundtrader1414 Sam Jackson apparently had to take him aside and give him a speech that amounted to "Look, man... for you, this is a vile day that you'll remember and deliberate over... for us this shit's just Wednesday. Not like any of us haven't heard this shit before." That's what finally got him in the Calvin Candy zone, apparently.

I sincerely doubt there was any audition involved

I don't think that he went to a casting.

I like Leo lol I hope he found it difficult.. Hard to tell by the Amazing job he did 🤦🏾‍♂️.. but I hope it wasn't that easy to pull off 😄😄

Right!?

Lol

Wdym? I didn't get that part.

@@destituteanddecadent9106 he was suppose to say the N word… but said nothin because he’s not a comfortable racist like a lot of white Americans

@@BrooklynDaDon1 Ah I see thanks. Are a lot of white Americans confortable with saying the N word? I mean I haven't been around the rural areas much, and I haven't been in very white situations either (I'm Asian), but the N word seemed to be a big no-no.

that was rich man...made my day

Like a lot

a lot.

Jim legit looks so uncomfortable

We all watched the video, original comment next time please. But you can't coz you're unoriginal and will quote something in the video everyone is watching. God I hate RU-vid now

I’m yelling 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

@@beejay8854 I was too! 🤣 Here's the link. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-EkpZTRUkFYI.html

@@ericsesame6321 this was good ! I’ve seen that black guy before he’s hella funny

Creed was damn good though, I bought it bootlegged when it hit theaters and bought the DVD when it came out I liked it so much

So...if you think ut must've been hard fir them to act these roles...how come that for the rest of american socuety it is assumed that they arr all bigotted racusts who have to be halted from expressing it. Why do you think a hollywood actor us any different?

@@markaplier1261 Woah there. Aren't you being a bit presumptuous? All I said that it must have been hard for the actors. That shouldn't imply anything.

@@gumballfan13 yeah, I know, and I'm not blaming you for not interpreting it how I did. I am simply making you aware of the fact that there is a double standard when it comes to assuming who is racist. I assume that you are not racist, so it is hard for you to utter these words. The question then is, do you also assume that other people find it hard to utter racial slurs (excluding actors)? Because so it seems to me, if you are only a tat representative of the attitude on racism in us society, then you would see racism everywhere in the public sphere; interpreting everything which has to do with African Americans which is not extremely positive towards them, as racist. My point is that if so, there is hypocrisy in assuming racism in others in the society, but not towards actors. as if because the people are leftists (which most of them are) and Hollywood stars changes anything about their inner believe system. Maybe I assumed too much of you, but I still am interested to know what you think about what I postulated, this double standard when it comes to who is assumed to be racist and who is not.

😂😂😂😂

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Lmao me too 🧇

Omg yessss🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Definitely a Waffle House reference

best skit

right..lmfao

Then he snatched the script from the chick they want him to read lines with and says “don’t look at that..” Too funny

2:55 😂😂😂😂

Same

Cali Livin damn 1k likes and no replies

You ruined it

Cali Livin HOLLERING lmao

Cali Livin I would say those lines of that meant I got a decent part in the movie

"You have any north parts?"

i bust out laughing for that one

Same

As a southerner, almost no one gets our accents correct...but that shit was spot on!

I just came to like this comment but it looks like I did that the last time I was here.

😆 he sounded exactly like Jeff foxworthy.

"Keep your eye on that camera" 😂😂😂

I thought the camera would reveal an actual dog because that would've been the only way to get him to say that.

It should have been longer I think

Haha

Gummie Worms it is. There’s a video where they show all the outtakes from Terry. Best 3 minutes of SNL in a long time. Think they deleted it

@@nick-dq1hh yeah i think they did too. Was looking for it but considering the political climate in the US, I could see it being removed for sure 😄

Why did you die??? It was funny!!!

The camera mans face, That had me in stitches. LOL

You ever seen Roots? The first one.

I’m sure I could rustle up some good ol boys who would love a free N-word pass. If anything just so they could sing the lyrics to their favorite songs 🤷🏼‍♂️

They say it while listening to Gangsta rap in their Car, so what's the difference; still getting paid!

Sofia Hernandes they could just pay to be a slave owner in real life

If only they could have done it as a voiceover or used an avatar to block their faces so they won't get jumped in highschool or by their moms black boyfriend.

Earl Lemongrab I think a lot of those yt commenters would also be into method acting 🤔

Leo Scarpoli Well it isn’t real so that would be a strange reason to assault someone. Which would also serve to back up negative and untrue stereotypes really.

Nah most of them wouldn't want to actually be seen in person talking like that lol

Mia Dowd XDDD I couldn't stop cracking up!

Mia Dowd 666th like! 👺👹

Mia Dowd yes the i wish you would look

@The Bloodbender Yes girl. Haha

Your cute little baby face.

Underrated comment too

Damn straight the waffle bit had my dying

A whaffle. 🧇🧇

TOTALLY AGREE!!! Drunk uncle is, MASTERPIECE!!

*WOULD YOU LIKE A... A HWAFFLE???*

That's one of the functions of comedy, good comedy enables people to say/confront things they'd never say otherwise. Think of All in the Family... purposely intended to get us all talking about race.

While I think D DiGiorgio made a good point, I'd also like to add that SNL has a largely liberal (meaning anyone left of center) audience, the same demographic which has been more willing to acknowledge these things. There aren't as many conservatives watching this, and maybe they wouldn't be laughing as much.

@@ddigiorgio8438 Thats a good (and very true) point. The only problem is, that approach to topics like racism tends to remain in comedy and rarely spills over into real life. So its like we can talk about it as long as humour takes the real sting out. But when its time to discuss 'the sting', its a problem to talk about.

Excellent question. Comedy is often like philosophy. It interprets and reflects life back to us, and often points out what is absurd. This is what makes us laugh. Here, the absurdity is having a white person of today saying the horrible words that historically were spoken so easily.

never been a massive moynihan fan, but when he's good, he's fuckin good

yzzi gross

omgoodness he was the best jfc!!! lollll

yzzi he reminded me of danny McBride

yzzi SAME

Who is the actor by the way? He and the plaid shirt.

Me too😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 I almost chocked on water

I havent recovered 😂😂😂😂

WOOOOW. How do you know his name is "Jerome" Mr racist pants?

@@kalobpowers9907 they very clearly call him jerome

I laughed so hard at that part I was crying 😂😂😂😂😂😂

+Lauren Conrad I wonder why they didn't have him in the short.

+mogden42 maybe that's why

YT PAHR

I think Uncle Ruckus would've been good in that movie too.

😅😅😭😭👍

@@battle-techs 😅😅😭

Oh shit......I laughed at this.......Clayton would played the part for free.... lol

Right?! Lol dressed up like a Black Panthers leader 😂

I swear I saw this as it happened

😂😂😂😂

Ur white aren’t u lmao

@@maybellemasone8018 yes i am!!! Youre quite obsevant!!

@@jmeshox2730 yea it fucking shows when u say such stupid shit about race

@@maybellemasone8018 im guessing you didnt find it funny?! Oh well...everyone is different, have a great day!!

Eh, you're kinda reaching with the respect for all human beings part. Not wanting to say taboo words doesn't mean you don't harbor any biases or anything.

i think it's much easier for a well established actor then a upcoming actor

🤣🤣🤣

😂😂😂

YES LAD

Michael Weldon oh keep digging. The new cast is actually one of the best ensembles in awhile, just took them a bit to get going. They’ve already got a ton of classic sketches now. Anything with Kyle Mooney, Beck Bennett or Kate Mackinnon.

@@Bruceybaby2009 Cecily is real good too! And easy on the eyes..😍

I think current SNL always looks worse because you look back and only remember the better bits. If you actually watch whole episodes of whatever you consider peak SNL, there's lots of crap in there too.

@@jaywinner328 Now everything is a stupid woke joke.

@@franknuzzo2576 I mean...not really? The whole concept of something being "woke" is just an individual self-reporting that they can't handle anything to do with, y'know, how society works - in that it's always moving forward. Go back 50 years and the shit you wouldn't find acceptable then is what you would call "woke" today. So, no, you don't have any problems with anything that is "woke," what you have a problem with is not being able to say the insensitive, bully-shit you want to say that's never been acceptable. It just now has a label, so you can easily thrown that label around and pretend as if society is on some SJW kick. Which none of said "woke" or other BS is true. It's just in your head.

He was in twelve years a slave??

Shut up

yeah he was

He was one of the 2 guys who abducted and sold the protagonist.

Ohhh shit, didn't even catch that at first. Knew he looked familiar tho

bishop420able LOL

sameri tarrer he channeled McQueen very well

He’s pretty bad

His English accent is really good. Normally you get a shit Dick Van Dyke cockney accent or a generic posh Hugh Grant, which are the only two accents in England according to American actors. Keenan was great.

@@bansheeofinisheerin he's one of the best ever

Kenan kills it in every sketch he does.

Keenan's always a champ! As a Brit I was honestly impressed by his accent too, not perfect but waaaay better than most.

HighSpeedNoDrag “jumps back”

Bruh 😂 I was laughing so hard I was crying this is one of the best SNL skits I've ever seen

Wait, really?

+kittypie Yes, he was.

I know, right? But maybe that's the reason. A comedian would be glad to have a serious role, so it's understandable that once Taran got a chance like that he didn't want to spoof it.

MRVEGAS oh my, who did he play?

One of the two seemingly nice gentlemen who trick Solomon into slavery.

heyyy how are youu hows it been with you over there in cleveland

You butchered that quote...

@@juliiouus96 piss off trash

@@jsm530 Calm your tits

Best line in the skit.

Lmao

Try finding a new word used of "cringe" you sound like a child.

@@niceone4370 And you sound like a brat.

@@niceone4370 Cringe isn't a new word.

Michael Fassbender really nailed that role .

Yep, they got the Brit actors in for that.....They´ll say anything!
