Black Jeopardy with Tom Hanks - SNL 

luggi lu it’s the cold fusion of comedy

I'm triggered, I just have to come up with a good reason why... I'll think of something.

because it was blacks making fun duh..

Yet

We need more triggers

HAH!! Exactly...United Arab Emirates: I know who they are in this soap opera but I had a blank spot the other day. I was watching a commercial and Jennifer Anniston was doing a commercial for Emmerites Airlines. She never or I hardly ever see her do commercials. It was just one of those weird things that just didnt sit right. Isnt that airline owned by Saudi Arabia? It didnt sit right, weird.

My take away is that people are 90% the same but the rest of the 10% really start defining who we are, in a lot of ways. This is why all the contestants were equally picking off the answers throughout the game show and why, when it came to Final Black Jeopardy, Doug was clearly going to lose and the host and other contestants clearly took issue with it. Black people feel marginalized and the single white guy couldn't see it from this perspective. But, I definitely agree with you that this was hilarious and ballsy.

David Lor Let me ask you something. Since the installment (or election) of the countless black aldermen/women in the black neighborhoods, how much better have those neighborhoods fared economically, safety, and crime wise? Was there the improvement that was supposed to have been seen? I havent seen it. It just looks to me that the only blacks that had an improvement were those elected and their own inner circles. The rest stayed the same.

David Lor your comment just goes back to Berk's original point that people are actually separated by class and not by race.... If a black person feels marginalized it is largely because of some notion instilled into them from this idea of being part of a "black community" that is separate from the mainstream American culture at large. The political class both fosters and utilizes this exactly so that it can create the conditions where we believe ourselves, as a society, to be separated by race. So in a way we really are separated by race, at least apparently, but this separation is artificial and contrived having been created so that we don't become wise to the fact that it is only class that is separating us, naturally, in truth, in our so-called "classless society". This is why working class people of all races intuitively understand that the game is rigged and they are being conspired against. The real conspiracy is, of course, nothing like they imagine, but what they imagine has been fueled by the unconscious awareness of what is really happening to them.

I see the same change in other communities as well. What do you suppose is the culprit to this lack of change? And how can we address it?

But I did not understand what does it mean?

​@@PrinzpolkDoug is a homie dawg common cuz

​@@Prinzpolkwhat it meant was that he was clowning on skinny women, and all the fat women love that😂😂

@@chelsealavaya7263 except Sasheer isn't 'sturdy' so her reaction doesn't make sense.

@@Prinzpolk A thin skinny princess isn't going to go Mow the Lawn when you are sick. You need a woman who got some meat on her bones.

Um, no. They are pointing out black people and southern conservative white people have more in common than society will admit.

​@@labountisure but they usually are in the same tax bracket. Coincidence?

Only color that matters is green.

Imagine if people realized the truth.

@@labounti have you ever been to the south before? the majority of the ppl there are black lol

Exactly. Cultural divides are much more about class/income than they are about color. It's a beautiful thing really.

FACTS!! "

Fuck yeah. I was trying to think of what to say and you did it.

I preach this every day. The media is brainwashing people to think that black and white is the issue but in reality it's rich vs poor.

@@robulmer8387 yep

"lives that matter" my jaw dropped

Boner Jamz oh everyone’s favorite comment: bad sarcasm

Will still be relevant in 50 years. Americans can be relied on to do the right thing, after they've tried everything else.

my jaw dropped once it got to lives that matter

Well said Roy✌👍

One of my favorite lines.😆😆😆

Like joe bidens speeches!!!! Absolute joke of a president. Worst in history. Forces everyone to pray that we survive it!!!!! Arrest Joe biden already!!!!!!

AFK Rynoz keenan: yesssss! YESSSSSSSS! YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!

lol

The whole skit revolved around reactions. Darnell's reaction when Doug gets the first one right, the awkward handshake, and the "Not a damn thing" reaction. Of course, the "What Lives Matter" had the best reactions of all. They KNEW where it was about to go!

Kenan makes this bit work, tbh.

:0

Yes! I was just about to make that comment everyone else did. I’ve been watching the skit for a few years, it’s funny that you beat me to this comment by 20 hours

I dunno about that he felt like he's getting robbed, more like he didn't know exactly what was going to happen, and was skittish It was very relatable

I love watching Shanice trying to keep it together right after

@@zimriel he put his hands up

Tom Hanks lol don't hit 😂

I saw it. I'm observant.

Second...after Matt Foley

I'm not sure if that shows how great a sketch this is or how bad SNL has been for the last decade or so.

I agree

Slow your role. It was funny, but of "all time"? Not hardly.

Church lady jimmy swaggert

I had to watch that part over and over again. It was perfect. I also like, "My guys name is Jimmy."

@Him Him Thin women don't necessarily like the pressure to be thin or skinny women. There is always someone skinnier.

@Him Him Actually, women are having plastic surgery to enlarge their rear ends.

@Him Him It depends on what you call fat.

OMG right 😂😂😂😂 Sturdy gal

And how much nonsense each had been told about the other

Thank you, James! I'd like to bring you over a banana puddin' for that answer :-) If you listen to the news, you'd think the South is in a full on race war.

I know a lot of people that support trump and they are nothing like what the media and Hollywood claim.

I’m in Alabama they nailed this skit he act exactly like he’s from bama I’m born and raised down here in Mobile

TheMg44563 ok then, yeah our southern dialect thick down here some thicker than others...

YES!

@ShaQuala Davis I watch the whole skit specifically for that part 😆

So sad im not a native speaker and I didnt catch this point:-(

I hurt myself! 🤣🤣🤣

@@shas150 It’s just basically saying that generally people don’t like “skinny” women. Which the 90s were all about being crazy skinny but not anymore (thankfully).

was it spicy?

I can’t stop laughing really I have never seen these skits before. Lmao @ Tom Hanks

😂my fav part. the only thing they can do is disappoint!

@robert campbell I am writing this as tears run down my face. I needed a good laugh tonight so thanks! You are spot on about Walmart!

How did we become the black soda

Tom Hanks IS THE MAN.

Yeah that's what happen when you mow the lawn and raise the AIDS

@Joe Schmidl r/woosh

@@chadlinnel5290 r/woosh return

@@TLcool4 r/woosh return? Are you some sort of child?

It's so damn good. The quick timing and the look on his face will always be one of those comedy bits I can start laughing about just thinking of it.

I think its great I feel like the audience suddenly understands the bit

Absolutely! It's like he's reacting to playing spades with his white friend for the first time, and they know what they're doing haha.

Kenan lifts it to another level of excellence. There is no down-time in this skit.

Keenan is really hard not to like

lol

Final Jeopardy All Lives Matter. Doug "I have a lot to say about that." Darnell "I'm sure you do."

I was about to click off the video when I saw Tom Hanks' hat but then I remembered that the cast are democrats so I hope it was a meme...

Aidan Morris he’s just portraying a hick 😂

@@mindyschocolate What cracks me up about that word "hick" is that most of y'all have no idea what livin in the rural south is even like. Go to the barber shop and see black and white folk sittin around shootin the breeze. Go to the river, pond or lake and you'll see white and black folk fishin and knockin back a few beers together shit talkin each other seein who's gonna catch the biggest. It's actually a shock for most of us when we venture out of our little neck of the woods and head up north or west for a vacation to places like NYC, Chicago, Cali & etc and all we see is black and white folk at each other's throats. It's not lost on us down here that whenever someone wants to portray a racist they immediately dawn a terrible southern accent but what's funny is all these hate crimes, police shootings and etc seem to be taking place in primarily non-southern areas..... more often than not they're in Democrat/Leftist controlled areas. Places where "hicks" aren't located.

I'm not gonna say "Duh", I'm gonna go with Nick Cage You don't say!? :o

@@demonicruins7413 Damn right man. The south is villified for no reason.

You're spot on. Long before he was a dramatic actor, Tom Hanks was part of the new up and coming generation of comedic actors.

The way you phrased the start of your sentence made it sound like you going to say he was a bad comedian. I'm glad it didn't end that way

@@thatoneguy7024 Oh hell no. That man is one of the greatest actors of all time. Always respect that🙏

Tom Hanks is a damned good EVERYTHING! Comedian, dramatic actor, husband, father, nice guy! He could do a 2 hour movie of him doing shadow puppets and eating baloney..... and I would pay money to see it!

He is always being somebody else, but as well as if he really was. He started his career passing as female, here he is passing for black, sorta, passed for airline pilot, ship's pilot, and always as well as if it's really him. Wishing they could clone this man. Scared the bejeezus out of me when I heard he caught covid.

Yep. Plenty of shit was lost. I almost collapsed on the floor with that part.

I lost it at “You know Cecil?!”

"What is NOT A DAMN THING" i say Amen to that.

every one did...

That was improvised by Hanks. Kenan is a pro and went along with it.

Andy Sunderland Cause he has her approval

But she still probably has some junk in her trunk.

Nah she weighs more than that. I weigh 127 and she looks heavier than I am.

Andy Sunderland I am from Wisconsin so all the women are fat I can appreciate a skinny one🤣

@@JM-fo2qn r/woooosh

Well it was good while it lasted lol

Well the reason why its funny is that it focuses on class rather than race. Poor whites are the same as poor blacks.

Sentirion Beats well I’m white and black but haven’t experience any poor livelihood

@@ReedBoi-tv2se well in the south there are a ton of poor people, white and black (a few hispanics too)

Thank you, I guess the SNL's writer didn't know how to do this type of comedy without you layin'-out the whole skit, so happy you approve!? Not!!🙄 (Sarcasm) 🤨

Sentirion Beats whoosh

Amen. My friend Austin is my Doug

Yaaay! :)

right man. flip flop here but same. common ground. and dont have thin skin and get butt hurt about stupid stuff. its good to see folks take a joke and laugh at themselves to. ✌

Blissful Breeze You okay m8? Everyone was having a good time before you came.

Released about three years too early

It is funny, even I had a good chuckle. And I hate SNL. But it is not intelligent.

@Dick N. Uranus Could not agree more. This video makes white people out to be ignorantly racist. Which is a simply false. The reason Trump was elected was bc we are tired of the establishment controlling this country. He is calling out the Globalists and the establishment. #DrainTheSwamp is in progress. And the best is yet to come.

@@jdfisher333 I have a low IQ due to being dropped on my head as a baby. To me, this is the comedy equivalent of Schrödinger's Cat (alas, poor puss). However, I'm willing to compromise. Would "clever" be more acceptable? When I use clever, I mean snakes in a can clever, not Sponge Bob Square Pants clever. Let me know. I'm willing to work with you here, Joey.

@@jdfisher333 Globalists? The people who still think the earth is sphere. Yeah, they're nuts. N, U, double T. Nuts.

Longest time I thought he said fixed my car

@@kevin2400 at first I thought that too

the first 2 are almost the same thing. the cat probably broke it.

You know it's just shit when top comment is a quote from the vid...

and he kept twitching after... and the look on his face when he first sees "lives that matter"... comedy wizard.

Yup just a good example of how biased Snl has gotten.... Good reason not to watch anymore

don't mind the troll. he just wants the attention

Doug lives on within Tom Hanks. :)

That’s the whole point of acting

I always forget if I'm watching something of his made after 1999.

There is probably a guy like Doug out there.

RONI There is definantly a guy like Doug out there somewhere in America.

And the super skinny girl is over there laughing to this 🙃

Facts tho

That was so freaking funny

Sure, who doesn't love chunky, sweaty women...

Skinny women are far more attractive. Thin people in general are more attractive

Reference this whenever somebody mentions a Tyler Perry film. haha

That’s a great way to live life

@@soulblock I totally agree with this comment.

@@jjd3hner544 jm

that was very wholesome

It's a tie between him and Eddie Murphy for the goat of SNL

The end is golden. Well Doug it's been fun

Yay pdx!

That first response to Doug when he says "YES!!" is amazing

Like it supposed to be my friend...

I rewatched it today just for that line lol

@@KG-zz8ik lol Same...just now

"Welllll ... it was good while it lasted" along with the looks from Leslie and Shasheer bring this one home perfectly. As good as it gets.

😂

@@yannickomani7382 Yep. Total stink eyes.

Fr fr

And also the "we gonna play the national anthem just to see what the hell happened" was brilliant

😂😂😂😂

LMAOOO

Shut up, plain Jane ass clout chaser

This video should be in a museum. And I like how he said I got a lot to say about this because people that boil things down to a slogan aren't your friends.

The best comment yet

I have a feeling Tom Hanks had some input here.

This skit was from the pre-Trump era. I think a lot of it has to do with the fact we weren't having cheap shots at each other like we do now.

@@JJohnston4Life I don't think that's accurate. He's wearing a MAGA hat and the skit is 4 years old, which would be Trumps first year. This was right in the heart of Trump era, and fully within the time everyone was taking cheap shots at each other, which is what makes this skit so beautiful by not stooping to the level everyone else was at that time. This skit is a masterpiece of comedic professionalism.

It has Tom Hanks....he makes everything good

Yeah he’s great lol

“Lives that matter” could not have aged any better Omg thanks for the likes

@@sergioortega5679 ?

@@shubydoobydoo3212 lmao

He’s my overall fave of current cast.

cmz8706 he just delivered the whole show !! good acting

Can't forget good burger

Ooooh weeeee....what up wit that?

I must also add that the dude doesn't age!!

Dude has transcended race. He can literally play any role and absolutely kill it. National treasure. 😎🤘

When he leaves I don’t think I can’t watch anymore

Ray Gordon Teaches Chess look back Tom hanks has killed it on SNL for 30+ years

True. But is that really a shock? ☺ Hasn't he run off with the title of nicest man in Hollywood for DECADES now?

@@wall91nutz my favorite is the Mr. Belvedere Fan Club sketch-

As an actor, I say without a doubt, they were all great artists in the sketch; SNL has been one of the top performance shows for decades, run by legendary Lorne Michaels. Everyone that gets to perform on it, is either at the top or on their way to the top of their game. Of course, the very top is hardest to reach, unless you're an idiot, like nick stix

@@sace2616 Suck-up. It's so pc, it's must-not-see TV. Nicholas Stix, Uncensored

Not near. It is spot on perfect.

Nah he was just born with a funny looking face.

Demontriell Flippins 😂😂😂😂

perfect at validating anti-black stereotypes

***** Well they should do that without including all the black stereotypes that many Americans accept as factual

Noodle person he’s also Florida, I’ve seen about 5000 people just like him

True I’m from Oklahoma. Pretty much

Manic Monday Podcast Those are injuns.

Parts of Oklahoma in Human form, the other part of the cast is the other parts of Oklahoma in Human form. 😂 there’s so many black folks here... 😂😂

I'm a native Okie, still live here and Yep lol I know Doug.

I know, I came here for the comments and found where all the decent Americans have been hiding :-D

mrgoo113007 I know right why these Americans don't come out more tho

Cloneme12 honestly, because I don't think we have a voice anymore 🙁

first

TOO funny lol

Rural carrier, 31 years, yeah, they DO!

@Clu Rosencrans Of Course. It's "My dog doesn't bite" we hear, over and over!

Bro, we have this little min pin, tiny little shit, if anybody that works for a living kicked it in the head it would die. But it thinks it is a holy terror. It is doberman min pin, like two and a half feet long tops, thirty pounds if.. but we have to wait until carriers leave the yard completely to even open the door. It's like he thinks every mail carrier is Satan.

As a dog groomer back in the day, too damn relatable hahahahaha

@@beckytraster3729 And then it is ALWAYS, "Not MY dog!". Every, every time!

Yeah, they took a different angle than I was expecting. Made me laugh. Great skit.

FilmsFor SMARTpeople Kenan was killin' it too.

FilmsFor SMARTpeople reminds new of when comedy was a craft and not a predictable idealogical dig

eblalgen ya damn right

ya the writers for this were on point. What's funny is where I grew up it was a kind of blue collar neighborhood and Tom Hanks is exactly on point

TheEmbessyNetwork you guys are really fun.. ahha

GriZz cool

🤣🤣🤣

🙏🙏🙏

AMEN!!!😍😍😍😍😍🙏🙏🙏🙏

GogL0L this happened as soon as I read this

That was the only issue I had with this skit lol.

I'm surprised you see that. It seems in the real world thinness is measured by runway models who are wraiths in many instances. Regular sized thin women are still big to people. And ppl want women to be absolutely flat. In front & in back.

She can say go Doug if she wants

Volition Spark Eh not sure anyone, even fashionistas, would say Keeley isn’t thin.

I thought he meant it as like “not a damn thing they can’t do”

Whoda thunk it

Well we're all from the south.

American black culture is rooted in the south, so yes

M. Rathbone Exactly. I’ve pointed this out many times before. If they let go of the racist shit we’d get along very well.
