Rick Moranis Monologue - Saturday Night Live 

This super-funny monologue was even funnier *in context*. The week prior to Rick Moranis, the guest host was Bruce Willis, who insisted on playing sax with the band and being a jack-of-all-trades. Bruce performed well, but many viewers thought it was a bit much: a bit too much of an ego stroke. So the Moranis monologue was a direct parody of Willis' monologue.

He is so adorable! Especially when he's all bouncy like this!

This is the greatest SNL monologue ever. Change my mind.

I had forgotten this. What a pure delight to rediscover. I’ve always had a massive crush on this adorable little man.

I'd forgotten that I'm in love with rick moranis...Yelp I remember now

Rick Moranis is one of the many reasons the 80’s were the golden era of comedy.

Rick actually plays guitar left handed and upside down so it’s perfectly natural for him to grab a right handed guitar and play it without restringing it. He’s got a lot of hidden talents!

Definitely one of the most fun I’ve ever seen someone have in their SNL monologue. Probably took a lot to make that happen actually and they seemed to be doing most of it live. Definitely live guitar & sax playing - but there’s a lot going on here so maybe all of it was done fully live and real. This was one of the most memorable monologues, maybe ever. A lot of fun.

What an incredible man. I love Rick Moranis :)

Funniest monologue ever! He did this cuz the previous week Bruce Willis hosted, and just started playing harmonica with the band and singing. And Rick thought it was dumb. So he mocked it. Extremely. Lol.

Rick is amazing. What a incredible entrance. Definitely one of the best ones ever. I can’t wait for the new Honey I Shrunk The Kids movie

Late 80s/early 90s was my favorite SNL era. Phil Hartman, Mike Myers, Chris Farley, Jan Hooks, Chris Rock, Adam Sandler, Rob Schneider (when those two were funny) Tim Meadows, David Spade, Ben Stiller, Norm McDonald, Kevin Nealon, Ellen Cleghorne. The jazz band was phenomenal, too.

this is so fun, a monologue without the dialogue

Rick Moranis is the only one who could make this work so well.

I have a huge crush on Rick Moranis ever since I watched Little Shop of Horrors (and I cant even remember how old I was when that happened) and since then I will watch anything he is in. I will be heartbroken if anything happens to him.

Ladies and gentlemen we have reached PEAK MORANIS with this epic monologue. I loved this one.

dude....this is one of the best monologues ever..

See, when you give an SCTV alumni the keys to the studio things will happen.

I’m glad he’s living a happy life outside of Hollywood with his family and I respect him for his decision however he’s such an amazing actor who I think one day will have to make a comeback into Hollywood sometime in the future and they should do little shop of horrors again but with him playing Seymour as well as the original cast being involved, that’d be amazing!!!

He looks like he has always wanted to be there.

Rick Moranis is a LEGEND.

For a man playing a guitar upside down while also blowing into a sax he didn't do too bad

I was just thinking how many guild rules Rick broke by operating that camera. lol.

Kids today will never know the love of Canadian Sweetheart Rick Moranis

Beautiful boy, come back!

What a fucking legend

Rick Moranis seems like an all around great guy.

Man this guy took my girl and now I'm raising his baby.

0:48 G.E. Smith polishing Dark Helmet’s....Umm.....helmet! 😂

This is the funniest thing I've ever seen on SNL. What a legend Rick is. Bless him.

I love Rick moreanus

POV: You have to do every part in SNL

god what a 90s shirt, rick's place is now immortalised in history

now THAT's how you do a monologue

He never left. He started a band called Weezer and later on he developed his alter ego called Fred Armisen. Many great faces this guy.

This is when SNL started to enter into it's renaissance. 1989 - 1995 was the best.

Omg the guy from honey we shrunk the kids..... Ryt?

I love how Rick made his opener a SNL band music video.

The awesome monologue.

Moranis, in the nicest most diplomatic way, was saying f*** you to Bruce Willis

GE Smith was such a legend.

How has this not hit a million views? I was today years old learning of this and how this extravagant opening. Truly a jack of all trades

Man! He does it all!!!

Omg haha that was fun

This is the most original SNL "monologue" I've ever watched in over 30 years.

The best entrance ever

Who else was sent to see this gem from Drew Gooden's video🤣🙌

Playing that guitar lefty too!! 😂😂

Production: OK guys, when Rick Moranis comes in, we’re gonna let him do literally whatever he wants to do. Cast,Crew, Camera men: Anything? Well ok… Rick: rides a $250,000 camera system like a theme park ride ^_^

Seriously this guy is amazing.. apparently he has a picture of my home town Southport in Merseyside in his home what a guy ❤

the helmet himself !

Happy B-day Rick Began. Your a legend. Brother Bear 1 and 2 was amazing and great, seen part 2 in middle school field trip. Honey I Shrunk the Kids and Honey I Blew Up the Kid is awesome and hilarious. I seen Honey I Shrunk the Kids on Cartoon Network, maybe Friday movies, when I was 10, I guess. Good times. Cartoons kick ass. Seriously, incredible. Love comedy. And yeah, don't forget Ghostbusters 1 and 2. I love Science. It's kind of funny, when Louis was possessed by that demon dog. Worship Gozer. Ghostbusters is awesome. Science is so amazing... pretty kool. May the Peace be with u Rick Began. From Harlingen Texas. April 18, 1953 April 18, 2023 through April 18, 3023

Now that's Canadian comedy

he was just a silly lil guy 😔

Love that he's playing the guitar upside down lol

Incredible

Man the band back then was fuckn great. Not saying that bad now but holy shit man

T-Bone Wolk!!!!

Damn, this takes me back, I remember the 15 year anniversary logo preceding some of the absolute best sketch comedy of that era.

Best intro ever

0:44-0:53 Puffy: *Talking To Usher* "You Want A Record Contract And Makes MILLIONS Of Dollars? Come To Me Real Quick......" No Questions Asked Just Went Down On Him😏🤣

Man! I surely would like to have that camera man with dolly job

I get why Moranis retired, but wow was he ever a one of a kind talent.

Miss him. It's crazy too because I said as if he died but he just retired. I'm happy for him at the same time.

SCTV strikes again. He did a bit of his character Gerry Todd in the control room. Perfect.

Wish I could see the Rickie Lee Jones performances.

The 80's and 90's were the best

Conan O'Brien at 1:52

Even if it wasn't a race thing-punching this sweet amazing man would still be a hate crime

baby🥺

You could call Rick one neat guy.

He needs to host SNL sometime again.

And that man never used that saxophone again and it’s now on display

Starz's The Lovelive Show Bought Me Here

THE PANTS

If this ain't the best of SNL I have seen-

this is so funny for what!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! lol

He could've been a great Late Night host

Big shirt 👕

He's a lefty...at least when he holds a guitar

The leader of the band on snl always reminded me like a bad guy that would be from diehard

Weirdest Intro for SNL I have ever seen...

0:48 wow Rick Moranis really gives 0 fucks

Before the dark ages

i never thought of rick moranis as a coke man but yeah

30-20-10

HELLO BARNEY

Where the hell did he go i never see him again in the movies :(

He has kind of a Peter Scolari look going on! :-)

We miss you Wayne Szalinski

Geez not even a hand wash after delivering a baby

It was definitely a much better time to be alive

Louis Tully himself!

Sadly due to COVID, such a saxophone move will never happen again.

please welcome: Louis Tully!!

And that was fcking live.
