Census Taker - Saturday Night Live 

Paul Mitchell Chris Walken is awesome, crazy guy!lol

, took time to understand this walken guy. I think he is quite natural.... good.

I thought Tim Meadows was the star here. Anyone can say crazy things in a reasonable way. Meadows had the harder task of keeping a straight face, and patiently trying to make sense of the crazy.

These are "old" to you?

@@alukuhito yeah 20 years ago seems kinda old to me dude. Anyway I love these wacky Monty Python-esque sketches

Not only the sketches were gold but anyway ...

OLD TO OLD PEOPLE IS ALREADY THERE..... OLD TO NEW, YOUNG AND OLD MAKES SENSE ALL THE TIME..... GREAT SKIT....

Gold jerry, Gold!! 😂😂😂

Yeah these two are great together. Total deadpan brilliance.

And you never paid for drugs.... not once

Legend

how tf did Tim keep it together for this, im dying every line chris says hahahaha

He's just reading his lines off cue cards. He keeps the acting to a minimum, and yeah he's killing it even though he's never seen his lines before. That's confidence.

@@Okinawatrip "never seen his lines before"? You know they rehearse these sketches, right? The staring is a bit weird, but not unusual on SNL. Still one of my favourite videos ever this one.

@@DOSkywalkR I'm sure there was a rehearsal. I'm a lot less sure that Christopher Dead Zone fucking Walken felt the need to attend. And if he was there, he surely didn't try to memorize his lines. SNL is probably his idea of spending a goofy afternoon as opposed to actual work. It would be a waste of his time and his talent to spend more time than he did preparing for these sketches. He could be reading an average recipe of chicken masala off his cue cards and he would still be more entertaining than all of the rest of the cast combined. Not that he cares either way.

@@Okinawatrip it’s true, many of the sketches show the characters looking off in weird directions! It’s a bit odd at first if you’re new to SNL , and I didn’t get it either until I read a reply here in the comment section that explained it about a year ago 😅

​@@DOSkywalkR Same one of my favourites as well. The writing is brilliant!

Tina Fey wrote this sketch, of course it's good!

It's rare to find great writing these days! Love this sketch! 😂😂😂

It is, which is why it’s so strange that he’s clearly reading off cards. It’s off putting but he nails every line

Delluvian Don't push your politics on me man

Delluvian ..... I was gonna say .

People are fucking with you because these surveys are ridiculous

I used to respond like this if TNS Gallup called 😇

Tbh in the UK, a lot of government stuff (especially welfare/benefits) you end up panicking and overanalysing questions/answers because people are terrified something will be considered in a different way by them and they'll use that as an excuse to make you destitute.

Absolutely! The script is 💯% original. Love wacky brilliant writing! And 🚶‍♂️ Walken is the perfect person to play this character! 😂😂😂

Tina Fey wrote this one and said it was her favourite ^^

NINE NINE!!!

WHAT?!?!

Hooohh.....it is caleb...!so he was stressed eating after this job huh...

🤣

Haha

I don't know, I'm so bad at guesstimating

He’s so good!

*pal

FerretBarret politics 😂😂😂

Coincidentally, this sketch was the same night/episode as Cowbell.

​@@TaylorTrask I gotta have more cowbell. I need more cowbell.🐄 🔔 😂😂😂

This and the Cowbell one most definitely. Its impossible to find nowadays though

Agree

Yeah he has dual citizenship!! 😂😂😂

Check "Balls of fury"

Wayne's World

More cowbells

The walkens

His first acting gig as a child was in a Martin and Lewis film.

Blaaarrrrffenngaarr

Oh yeah, killing funny.

Me doing homework, reading/writing or talking to people:

It certainly does!! 😂😂😂

Hahaha 😂😂😆😅😂

I don't know, I'm so bad at guesstimating

Love this skit! Seen it so many times & still cracks me up every time! 😂

I disagree it's written perfectly. That's the genius of it. The best writing many times seems simple! The writing on this skit is brilliant. Almost every line is hilarious!

Hey, Tim Meadows was the star, here. Walken had to listen to straightforward questions. It was Tim Meadows who had to listen to the hilarious answers, keep a straight face, plus the most puzzled expressions I've ever seen.

Written by Tina Fey.

I love finding video game sound effects in other things.

So now you know who is making that noise. It's Christopher Walken's wife, a bobcat! ^^

Yes indeed they were, all previous generations. They worked hard, and worked til they died, jobs weren't "fun" and they usually stayed in that same thankless job forever

Old Generation walked 50km to school and back everyday

@@all_about_ches7600 MONTY PYTHON 1970s: "Why I lived in a hole in the ground with my brothers and sisters. We just had scraps of metal to eat!".

Tim Meadows had the more difficult part. He had to keep the straight face. Walken was just being Walken.

😂😂😂

You know this sketch wasn't from the 90's right?
