Monologue: Charlton Heston is Captured by Apes - SNL 

Ikr? I wonder how they could play in those masks. They make you blind, essentially.

Yeh, helluva high-production sketch!

Lotta expense went into this sketch!

And the audience!

Yeah, they went all out in this. Every cast member in the opening was in costume!

I miss apedonald so much bros.

He was great in Wayne’s World…

thought the same thing lol

The Simpsons haha

I LOVE YOU DR. ZAIUS!!

"He can talk He can talk" "I can siiiiiing!"

Not even close. Just a random, updated orangutan make up.

Only on SNL man

Super right wing is bad ? I'm happy my father put a gun in my hand at 10 years old. Super left wing fathers are telling kids they could ✂️ their Wang off and be a girl.

Nothing wrong with being right wing

His scarves made up for the right wing macho element by making him look kind of fay- it was an effective balance. They made him leader of the NWA! That should say SOMEthing about his success.

Those evil conservatives with their morals and values not conforming to the satanic woke agenda. 😂 You make me laugh fella.

@@WayfaringCuriosityReviews "morals and values" derived from narrow, exclusive religious beliefs that the constitution is SUPPOSED to protect against, but the constitution as well as the Bible seems to be something hidden behind by people still yet to read either text- or maybe you're just there to rewrite it to serve your own needs over the needs of others . Keep laughing, clown. Jesus LOVES guns and HATES women, apparently. Equality isn't for EVERYONE, is it?

Tim Meadows. And they also did an ape version of Rob Schneider's copy guy skit, jesus I forget the name.

😂

I think that's on another website, or at least the transcript is available.

Sure cap 'n

I can SIIIIIIIIING!!!!!

Ohhhh help me Dr Zaius

That's because he's some kind of mutant.

yeah, back when it was ok to have one token black guy, where women were property and you could put a woman in her place and... there was zero gays to be seen or heard at all lol

Beez Saz Not true.

@@cozmorobotshow1767 exactly

Jayce Neal but now... the gays demand to be in everything, if you say something that offends too many snowflakes and sets them off they protest outside the tv station, the blacks have to be in everything and if a woman decides you did something too sexual they don’t like you get fired, oh and if you ever put anything on social media that too many people don’t like you saying or doing they also get you fired from your job

@@cozmorobotshow1767 ain't that the truth brother we have to return to tradition

Those aren't even close to the original applicances, these are far more stylized to amplify the comedy. These were obviously all made for the this performance.

@@generalyellor2187 When I said copies I was thinking of the upper-end commercially sold prosthetic masks they were selling in the 1970s. Don't know if they were made from original molds, but they were sweet. Wish they were still available. If SNL can make something even close from scratch, they have a very good makeup department.

@@generalyellor2187 not true. The costumes were borrowed from a collector who purchased them from the film in an auction.

@@psilva2462 Just listening to Gilbert Gottfried's Amazing Colossal Podcast with Guest David Mandel who at the time was a young SNL writer and pitched/wrote this bit. According to him you are 100% correct, they flew the collector to NYC with all of his purchased original costumes for the show. Cool stuff.

Yes, I have the whole skit at home. Recorded it back when NBC would air old episodes along with the music acts, that was awesome. Remembering seeing George Harrison and Paul Simon singing "Here Comes the Sun" along with many others.

@@Berkner80 Very nice! I too had it recorded on VHS but I lost it. Would you post the whole skit on RU-vid?

@@Lorax4good I have it but may take some time to find it. I'll see what I can do.

I do hope you can find it. I actually played the stage manager ape (“HUMAN!!”) and would love to see it again.

@@Lorax4good Been a while to find it but I posted the full version on my channel.

I had it ready to post , but RU-vid said it was in violation and I could not post it, and they removed it. Perhaps it will be posted some day by this channel.

thanks me from 2 years ago.

Take your paws off me you dirty ape...

1digitalwatcher He's nothing because he's dead. He's waiting for judgement for the lake of fire.

Da'Yan Yisrael so is your mom

Da'Yan Yisrael ha ha mission accomplished 😈😈😈

Da'Yan Yisrael oh pooh... If that makes you feel better... Well gotta go. Buh bye

Da'Yan Yisrael ha ha ha ha

It's a downplayed humiliation ritual.

ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-_oJs8-I9WtA.html comparison of VHS with Betamax, video sample at 3:54 Betamax was used for studio recordings, so I'd assume that's what this is.

And yet the content is crap so we trade quality for junk writing

Remember.."Soylent green is made out of people!!"

He did say that in the cold opening after someone throws a net on Charlton.

Stupid-funny, that is.

I was looking for that, also!

I have that one also, I will try and post that later tonight.

@@Berkner80 Did you ever put it up?

@@matthewlevy51 Yes, I did, but It got blocked and I am not permitted to post it, sorry. Too bad cause the full skit is really funny along with the other skits from that same show.

@@Berkner80 Can you make it unlisted and share it?!

Working on it but my video is being blocked right now. Sorry but my videos keep getting a copyright flag when I try to post them. Will try again later. Anybody know why my videos are being flagged when they have tons of SNL videos out there?

My full version got blocked but I will keep trying. It is much funnier with the full version.

@@Berkner80 any luck?

@@00002129 sorry, but no luck.

Heston was fine. He played the straight man here reacting off of the crowd. The "madhouse" line did fall a little flat, but I'm not sure that' was his fault.

It probably fell a little flat because he wasn’t a young man anymore at this point and couldn’t shout it like we’re used to hearing from the iconic movie.

SO WHAT?!

so?

Are you going to shut me down on my first ever first comment. I guess that what they say is true.
