Anal Retentive Chef: Cajun Style - Saturday Night Live 

“Make a train take a dirt road” 🤣🤣💀 I will use this as soon as I have the opportunity

Phil Hartman and John Goodman had great chemistry during this skit.

Sometimes this character plays in my head when I'm cooking & cleaning.

"Some things just won't be organized and we have to accept that now, don't we? No we don't!"

Phil was BEYOND talented. He could bring a smile to ANY room. Too bad his wife didn't see that. R.I.P. Phil, you are definitely missed.

Hartman and Goodman were superb in this!

The caliber of the acting in the 90s with people like Phil made the show legendary. It elevated the writing, and the writing elevated them.

"she had a face that would make a train take a dirt road"

John Goodman got that Cajun accent down pat.

to give john goodman credit, it really looked like he got mad when pushed all that stuff off the counter top! fine performance if i must say.. and i really miss, phil. he is a legend.

As a chef, I can identify with both the host's particular organization and the guest's temper.

The "centering of the tape" always gets me!

Phil's face is priceless while the Chef talks about the spit!

Phil Hartman, what a great talent he was. RIP Mr. Hartman.

Phil Hartman absolute legend.

John Goodman does a real good job getting into character, his acting is so brilliant and spot on with the personas he plays as. Phil did a really good job playing as someone you would just punch in the face for trying to control how you normally cook a meal from home. nice chemistry between the two

Funniest skit I've ever seen. When Goodman cleared of the counter I lost it!

I love Phil, it does bother me he left the cleaner next to the food. Lol

Sometimes I wonder if these are the actual thoughts that went through Phil's head that he doesn't act on in real life, but then realized how funny they were and turned it into a comedy routine

My niece works in a restaurant in New Orleans, and Goodman and Malkovich dine there frequently.

His potpourri was to die for. A light sage cinnamon with a touch of oleander.

I have this on VHS on a "best of SNL" video somewhere - I still miss Phil Hartman to this day

The acting is so well done - they actually know their lines and aren't staring at the cue cards the entire time...or breaking character trying to be cute. Best era of SNL.

Reminds me of myself. Could be why i am single and live alone😅

John G's perfect Cajun accent with just alil bit of french humor combined with Phil Hs ocdesque act makes for the Perfect blend of Funnny with cap-F skit!

This would now be called "The Obsessive-Compulsive Chef".

1989...wow seems like so long ago and sometimes it seems like yesterday. So sad what happened to Phil.

I'm trying to decide if the bloody band-aid on Goodman's finger is part of the sketch, or if he cut himself in rehearsal...lol

Love this!!! Can’t believe I never saw this one with John Goodman! Phil is hilarious as this character.

Phil Hartman would have been one of the greatest actors ever.

Watching this, Phil's prissiness made me think that maybe he and Church Lady should have cooked together. Her food would probably involve Miracle Whip and a lot of gelatine.

What great actors!

The trash bag isn't evenly creased.

This is one of the top 10 greatest SNL skits.

I remember this skit like it was yesterday! As funny now as then!

This brings back so many great memories! I miss you 90s!

This remains my favorite sketches in SNL history, actually all of the Anal Retentive Chef sketches are tied for first place with all of the Mr. Robinson's Neighborhood and What's Up With That? sketches. 🤣😂🤣

The writing for this has to be award winning. The two actors are beyond fabulous. Completely amazing

Hartman and Goodman… the dynamic duo.

I would never cross John Goodman, ever

I am so so glad that I got to watch all of these new. Phil is my favorite.

I really miss the genius of Phil Hartman.

John Goodman here is doing a masterful mashup of 3 famous cajun chefs: Paul Prudhomme, Emiril Lagasse, and Justin Wilson.

Brilliant. Goodman has the persona down pat.

I watched this when it was first broadcast. At the time I didnt get it, right up until Goodman did the 'right..to LEFT' part. That murdered.

This skit is comic genius

Now, we fold over the bag neatly and carefully center the tape!🤣

The older I get, the more I relate to Phil's character.

The Justin Wilson / Frugal Gourmet crossover we never got

Back before everyone thought they had OCD. Hell, back before anyone knew what OCD was 😂

I'm watching this, imagining Adrien Monk going undercover on a cooking show... and the hot-tempered murderer is the guest chef...

These two are pure magic! Been watching righteous gemstones and John Goodman is still just as good!

Another Gene character 🤣 Phil is a legend for sure!!

Nobody could make a person laugh quite like Phil Hartman. And such a nice human being too. RIP

Where's the tape dispenser cozy?

6:03 I lost it there lmao! I would so do that too

I've eyeballed a lot of butter sticks, and that was not 5 and 3/4 tablespoons, that was about 2 tablespoons.

John Goodman and Phil Hartman ate funny 😂🤣 together.

You dun put a hat on my feesh 😀

Go get’em Johnny! Lol

Ok... 0:57 - he moves the plates again - but they are not spaced EVENLY again till 1:08 🤔 Does it bother me? No, not at all - but it bothers me that it doesn't bother him... 🤣

The word genius is overused in terms of comedic ability. Not with Hartman. No one could emulate that character. Pure genius.

It's like my inner self trying to get my outer self to make things right...

I love my wife. She is just like this guy. It is a blessing and a curse.

I miss when actors on SNL would shout and you’d wonder if they were genuinely angry and feel a bit scared.

The “I’ll mix up my own bleach solution” is my mother right now. For a self confessed germaphobe, COVID has been just terrible. For me and her....also, if left up to her own devices, I suspect she would happily bag onions before tossing them.

Goodman here is like a mix between robin Williams and Charles daddy in the simpsons 🤣

For a college English class we had to write a lot of different things and one of our assignments was a short story. I wrote a fictional tale of me driving on the way to college and witnessing an accident. At least that was the pseudo main theme. What I did to tell the story was go through the thought process in my head as I drive. How I checked my mirrors, how I left enough space to stop behind another vehicle just in case it stopped suddenly. How I tried to keep my car perfectly centered in my lane. Oh no, I am coming to a large hill and I can't see over the other side, what if there is a truck coming head on in my lane trying to pass another car? Do I have enough shoulder room to pull out of the way? What evasive move would I make? Oh gosh, I am coming to the wooded area of the road, where we know the deer are and many have been hit before. What if one jumped out in front of me right now? What if that car in the left lane with its left blinker on suddenly decides to turn right instead and pulls into my lane? After I was done reading the story for the class everyone just stared at me for awhile. The professor didnt' even say anything for a little bit. I started to wonder if I did something wrong or mixed up the assignment and wrote a story that I wasn't supposed to. Then the professor smiled a bit and started to walk the class through what I did. After the class was over I had people coming up to me, "Is this really how you think when you drive?" Yeah, this is how I think when I drive. I am hyper focused on everything. Some would say they were kind of the same and thought they were the only ones. Some would ask if that drove me crazy and I explained that it actually calms me down, that it gives my brain something to focus on.

I didn't know Mr Monk could cook...

My grandmother was Cajun. She didn't speak like this but her cousins did.

Your in the drivers seat 🤣😂they are both Hilarious

LOL Herbal Bouquet!!!

How colourful! These two! Lol😂

FROM RIGHT TO LEFT!

PBS extreme!

Obviously a nod to Justin Wilson. That’s awesome.

As a person with Type A personality (undiagnosed OCD) I get it!! 😅

God he was awesome.

AR Chef , Frozen Caveman Lawyer, Phil Donahue...he was so good and so was SNL back in the day😂😢

tante is german for aunt

Another remark by the best Cajun chief. Always piss on the dish.

Love John Goodman!

As someone who loves to cook, I have to admit I'm a bit of both sometimes...

This is GREAT!

P Allen Smith?! 🤣🤣🤣.... I bet he’s real particular like that.

"I don't want no hat on my fish!"

You know what they say about too many Chef's / cooks in the kitchen - one or more is going to end up tabbing someone!

It’s amazing how this era everyone remembers their lines

My friend's roommate needs to dry each lettuce on paper towels 1 by 1. They were not friend's after a few months

Genius

darn I was hoping they would have fun cooking together

I know someone else recognized that as exactly 1.75 tablespoons of butter.

This is before the term OCD

She'd make a train take a dirt road. lol.

Makes a whole lot of difference now that I know how to make fish stock, the bouquet garni should go, and NO salt and pepper in a stock! Also a roux, where's the flour?

Carefully center the tape 😆

God I miss Phil Hartman

I'M applying for a grant from the CHUBB group.

6:03 😂

Death of Phil Hartman changed the trajectory of television
