Martin Luther King Day: White Co-Workers - Saturday Night Live 

Never got that day off with pay, but I did see a half black man only get half the day off. Lol

@@stephenhodson9459 lol wuuuut

I think Chris Rock said that.

@@macmacreynolds8712 , I believe you are 100% correct!

I thought that was Alabama?

FACTS!

jazz, get it? get it?

Seriously that was the funniest line in the sketch!

They made a mistake firing him.

“I’ll make a call and rustle up one more ticket” “You’re not jazzin’ me are ya?” 😂

if only Sandler would stay in his voice and not migrate to falsetto singing and speaking

Just from your name here I knew I would see a guy w an acoustic guitar 🎸 nothing against it but the whole emo songs and read alongs isn't that super dark and sad?? My kids went thru that phase and when ppl my age did we were called goth we were emo w some violent tendencies lol 😆

Old school style sandler is untouchable. Id love a billy madison or happy gilmore 2

best is hey here's a wallet oh there's cash in it.

Lies again? Moscow Love King

Lol yep 🤣

You're joking right? Adam barely got his lines out when entering the scene. He admits he's no actor. You must be high, or a totally idiot

I don't believe that's how it goes but good dream anyways. :)

I may not get there with you.

*On MLK day

Ill drive lets go! Lol

There’s a lot to do here!!!

That's sooo Adam S.

Lol love adam sandler

Yo man how you doin brotha.... stayin motivated I hope.... 💯

😂

I'm gonna remember that one. LOL

With nary a pause nor change in tone.

Because of winn Dixie

He can too!

He should get more love!

@R C We don’t think he can act. We know he can.

As Is Tim Meadows! The Ladiesman is comedy GOLD, A true classic.

Ok “Tyler Gear” aka Tim Meadows’ burner RU-vid account...

@@friendlyfrog8837 I wish I had that sweet, sweet improv money

@@TG-ld8hl Lol! Nice. 👌

Well he is The Ladies Man

He looked good in his Shirt In A Can

May we never forget the struggle... of carrying such a thing

@@annagrace4226 Amen to that, Anna Grace! Don't ever let The Man sell you a used Dell or Commodore computer! Tote that keyboard, lift that monitor!

@@TheStockwell 😂😂😂

@TheStockwell Eh, more like 2-4 times the weight. I have a mid-90s laptop next to me at the moment. Although I'm sure this doesn't help the case for them being lightweight.

Hell PCMCIA cards were beefier than most phones

Looks like a friggin hippy.

He looks like the real father of the Home Improvement kids

Not a mullet

@@morgangrant5180 Chris elliott rocks the shit out of a mullet in Schitt's Creek tho

@@morgangrant5180 close enough

Ahead of it’s time? I don’t think they could pull this off now with the ever increasing cultural melting pot of a cast anymore. I’m glad SNL is changing with the times but a lot of folks are not about that at all.

No, it wasn't. Shit just never changes.

@@aaronburratwood.6957 Agreed

You're so right

Sadly racism and the comedy of it has lasted for centuries.

I saw it Km away

The Quanza books tho 😂😂😂

I didn't see the end coming but he had a smirk on his face the whole time so I was wondering what was up 😂 I'm dumb though

😂😂😂 swear to God I didn't

Facts 😂

Steve W haven't watched SNL for many years and may their producer catch Gonnorhea and burn in hell.

@Steve W. THIS. I don’t know why they do that

@@AugustusFloop Almost every actor since 1975 have used cue cards. They're using them here - some timestamps below. You just don't notice because of the old, small stage. They moved to the current stage in 2003, which is like twice the size of the original. So the people with cue cards probably went from standing 10 feet away in 1975, to twenty or even more in 2003 with a lot more cameras in the way. I'm guessing they went from being able to stand pretty much where an actor's line of sight should be, to being stationary where ever they fit. Some people couldn't even read them before which probably got them booted off - like Farley. Nearsighted, dyslexic and color blind. He couldn't read them at all and did improve, which often didn't end well - like when Spade almost abandoned the sketch in the van by the river sketch. So most people use the cards, even if just to help them. Timestamps: 0:16 - he reads his line right from a card and only looks away to interact with the scene at the end 0:38 - Daniels looks past Elliot offscreen for 2 seconds, right before his line 1:40 - Sandler's eyes keep darting away from them to his right, and even his head moves a bit 1:48 - Daniels looks over Sandler's head for a couple seconds And I'm tired of looking, but it's easy with it full screen and top resolution. The skit is great, but they do use cue cards quite often. Meadows seems to be the only one who memorized them, which I don't understand how, considering how fast and rushed the writing process is.

@@Harley-and-Her-Ruff-Riders Long answer for something I wasn't asking lol. The OP is referring to actors facing the front camera the entire time instead of facing each other like here

They did

It was the season ('94-'95) that was terrible and the crowds weren't laughing much.

SNL crowds usually sound like this making good jokes feel flat all the time. This is why I preferred Mad tv back in the day

@@DV-ou1yu ...don't you mean _In Living Color_ ? lol you can do what you wanna do

@terryq5150 ...& that is the answer to what? 😜

@@favoritemustard3542 ??? Nope, I meant Mad tv in its prime. "I can do what I wanna do?" You sound hurt....but about what???

it is one. i just celebrated it.

@@marcyfan 😮‍💨 I know its a holiday. I was saying, its not a gift giving, parade style, or barbeque and fireworks type of holiday. Its more like Presidents day. People just either dont go to work or they sign up to get that overtime.

Same

@marcyfan I did to

Bluff

And Chris Elliott

@@philosophicalactions9376 That's who that is!, I always recognize him but can never remember the name. He is one of my favorites. His part as the cameraman in (Groundhog Day) was so good too!

@@velikovskysghost yes indeed but did you see Cabin Boy?

And the little hand guy from Scary Movie LOL

Princess and the Homeboy

That thing will heat up your sandwich like a mothereffer!

Saw the first portable computers. To large to call laptops. Weighed 50 pounds, and had less memory and storage than your cellphone, with a screen not much bigger than a smart phone. And they cost over $5,000.

I still have one of those from 1995 in my basement. Windows 95 still on it. Except the floppy disk got warped and no longer works.

i wrote my college thesis on a “Compaq portable”. DOS operating system, before Windows. Green screen. It was neither compact nor portable, though it had a case with a carrying handle. It was the size of what today would be a large desktop PC.

When I was a child it was the really ancient times-we didn’t have computers at all.

*skit

Who wrote it?

I was wondering the same. I would guess Franken, Downey or Smigel. ​@@haydenguenther14

@Asher Schmutz If I could get a whole room full of them, I would be very happy. '90s laptops are awesome. What did you not like about them?

@@inspectorlunge3887 Don't worry about Asher. Those look like Mac PowerBooks 100 Series. I just sold my 165c on eBay. Such cool machines!

If you like those , you should see the ones we had in the 80s seriously like carrying a small suit case around Pull the front off to get the key board and use the handle as a stand to prop it up they were awesome with their 5 inch screens lol

White people still dont care

And..they were about 10 times the price you paid for your most current one.

Lol

True? How?

@@gmmakesmehurl white guilt at an all time high

@@brownjatt21 Right right. I got that.

I was thinking king how black people actually feel that way

His daughter was on it for a bit too. Chris Elliot is great. First saw him in "There's Something About Mary."

@@Swanny2294 oh, who’d he play in that film. I love it

Wow people are so young. Look up "Get A Life" one of the first shows ever on FOX...

Chris Elliott has been around forever

I forgot he was in There's Something About Mary. I always remember him from Scary Movie 2 lol. And How I Met Your Mother (Lily's dad)

You lived thru the 90s or were born in the 90s?

@@willbecker3437 Born 82.

The 80s and 90s were both great decades for SNL. No PC bull. It all went to hell when Will Farrell left.

Yeah but having former president Blowhard in the white house allowed SNL to make the most recent 4 years a little more tolerable.

no the 70s

Maybe it's because his shirt is four sizes too big. Or maybe it's because he claims to read on the weekend.

The irony being he's pretty savvy in real life

Because at the time he hadn't even finished first grade yet.

Dude couldn't keep a straight face, even for unfunny lines

I can think of one other guy who is even more unbelievable

Tim fart. Ok

I miss those days, those skits!

*sketch

Things were different back then, people were much happier too.

@@Rob-to4mu Yep. Way less racism in every direction back then. It's been more and more ridiculous ever since Obama.

and it only cost $6,200

It's actually a Macintosh Powerbook.

@@zaphenath6756 lol

Lotus 123 haha. We still use Notes. Notes 11

My god I actually use all those... 🧐

I think they spend way too much time on re-writes today than back then. Back then movies were also often made faster. Now that doesn't mean it's always good, a lot of old sketches could have used more work, but it would have compromised their acting. Still, I think it's a good trade since a bunch of actors doesn't make it too obvious that they're reading cue cards and I think more sketches work as a result

These people were better at improvisation too. Later stars like Kristen Wiig, Will Ferrell and Bill Hader were brilliant at this

Real

@@JachAnen you nailed it. Current show is literally rewriting on the fly just before dress.

there never was a teleprompter

It is Karen.

Drean of a day when none of this shit came true.

I dream of the day… when people will finally stop saying “bAcK wHeN SNL wAs FuNnY” on social media comment sections

@@silverdrumvideo see, even YOU will be happy when SNL is funny again

Exactly! 🤣

How

@@manaharav 😂😂 what the fuck are u talking about 🤣

@@MypronounIsKing Minorities capitalizing on white guilt. Still works today!

@@reredrumuoy Aslong as the media keeps trying to make white people feel bad for being white , that will be a thing.

white like me with Eddie was genius

Keenan was funnier than the white cast

Don’t forget Chris Rock was on there too.

There was also some dude Teddy Murphy, something or other.

LexiCat Keenan just looks like fucking Fat Albert. They need a new token black guy. I sure hate Keenans entire look. Looks like a fat kid that just grew bigger.

@@frankmorris6765 when Rock was there there were 2 token black guys. Progress..

@John Doe God those things weighed a ton.

I miss the venerable trak ball. **sigh** /sure they were a nightmare to keep clean, but they were so perfect

I remember my dad bringing one home for work, we thought it was so awesome. All we had before that was an old MS-DOS desktop that you turned on then went and did your chores while it warmed up.

Back when they walked to the set in the snow uphill both directions?

Pull yourself together

LOL! That's a long day!

Yep. Sad and funny

The "woke" community

Unfortunately this was from a while back in “95”, so yeah, one day people will live and let live... so we don’t have to constantly hear about it. 🇺🇸

@@SpiritsOfAnotherDay It's strange how we could've laughed about it then but now it's taboo to have such a sense of humour. Have we digressed as a people?

@@elijahwilliamson3623 Really believe that too many have managed ways to use it as a divide, rather than a common unity. That has to be restored 🇺🇸

Lol

Yes. We were allowed the stereotypes and to laugh at our differences. Now everyone is butt hurt

...Potent Potables...

SO, WE MEET AGAIN TREBEK! TELL ME, IS YOUR MOTHER STILL A BLM COORDINATOR?

Hey that’s offensive because Alex trebek just died! Have some respect!! Just kidding lmao good lord for reals though

They always used cue cards, but just as backup. The actors always learned their lines. Nowadays, they use cards as the prime source of their lines; that's why they're always staring into space when they're supposed to be talking to each other. People are just more lazy and hubristic and spoiled rotten divas these days, blaming their hectic schedules for their lack of talent.

Why is that so funny 🤣

Probably considering almost the entire continent was colonized

King was a pervert and a comnunist so screw him

Yeah. And this white vs black, black vs white BS is just as juvenile and rudimentary now as it was then.

Why can't we do this???

Ellen Cleghorne was the worst. YUK

When i was a kid a had a major crush on her

Never heard of her before.

Ooo I thought that was Bill Pullman. Haha.

@MainSail 201 lol he looks nothing like Bill Paxton. Bill Pullman is the president in the movie Independence Day

It's hit and miss. Maybe 2 out of 10 sketches per episode are good.

I'd suggest that you stick to old school SNL. The new stuff is really corny.

I only watched based on who the musical act was.

Thanks for the tips!

I watched MADtv from 10 until 10:30 and then I would switch to SNL so I would get the best of both shows. In Living Color what's the best, Jim Carrey was hilarious. It's funny that all the best black comedy used to be on Fox.

THE WAITING GAME SUCKS. LETS PLAY HUNGRY HUNGRY HIPPOS

Dos still good

No viruses

Hell no there would be protest and burning the building to the ground. Ppl are not wanting 2 be happy and in good moods or wanting to laugh and that in itself is very very sad.

There shouldn't be any guilt or whatever
