State Meeting - SNL 

And what's wrong with this? I don't get it. I belive it is a USA thing...

@@mirthy8219 Lol!!! Good one there... God... I hope you're joking.

Mirthy White the fact that you said It is a “USA thing” leads me to believe you understand the historical significance in which you should then understand that It is offensive and is unacceptable no matter where you are in the universe. If you so happen to be at a Martian party and are wearing blackface It is not funny or flattering, so please no black face Ms.white...

@@shab90 Why? I don't. I really don't get it. It won't be offencive back where I live. It would be awsome costium. That's why I think it's about USA's history with slavery.

@@LGRamirez nah, it won't work like this. If something is wrong there, it doesn't mean is wrong here. Offcorse it will be wrong for you because you are from USA culture, if I guessed corectly, but not for me. We didn't enslaved anyone. So for me is a funny thing to watch.

I'm gonna miss him

He learned from his grocery store days with his friend Kel

Sean Murphy 🤣🤣🤣

Keenan is the best! He should not leave!

@@gfunk63901 Wait, what? Is he leaving?? D:

🤣😂🤣best part of the entire skit.

AM I IN HELL!?

Ikr

they see you rollin they be haitin

Someone actually shouted Oh. My God.

I wouldn't be surprised if ANY of these questions were actually asked! 😂

JMH The audience always does. I miss the live audience with COVID-19 going on now

it was barely audible

See he's getting mad 🤣

Vince Fl I scrolled through so many comments to find someone else who found that funny

I forgot Halsey was the host because I don't know who Halsey is.

I think it’s because she didn’t talk until the end

she had 2 lines dude

I thought the same about Chance the Rapper

No, that means the host isn’t funny so they just put them in a sketch with barely any lines.

As a non-american, I was super confused. Googled it. Fucking lost my shit at the joke. People like shitting on SNL, but the clips I find on youtube tend to be fucking fire.

Thank youu. ❤

Even more ironically, Jolson was actually quite supportive of civil rights causes for black Americans and pushed for greater integration of the entertainment industry for pretty much his whole career. And of course his most famous blackface performance in the Jazz Singer is really a skewering of the minstrel show and the way Jewish vaudeville actors couldn’t find mainstream success if they didn’t put on blackface.

Hephzie Berry I saw that he struggling lol

2:22 [spit take]

😁😁

Jimmy Swenson Complicated, hummmm, Tell that to the fine “dress up” folks wearing “War paint” in Washington DC on “Football Sunday.” as they “honor” As they pretend to “scalp’”their opponents As The Aboriginal Peoples of America. “I’m not mad,” . . . just tired.

I have said that same thing to someone in the meeting. It made them madder. Then it all became a game with everyone to see how mad we could make that person. It sounded just like this skit.

So you are retarded

Hilarious joke

LoL. “...That is an Awesome idea !”

*Pauses* *Pauses* "Okay...offensive. But hilarious..."

I did that when I was like 11 and this black dude gave me a buncha candy soooo

I should do that next year

It wasn't funny in the eighties

But what if it was part of a costume of a black person?

Lmao

That's what I ask myself everyday. 😏

Yes, but we have cookies.

Jasmine Matthew has to look him up, Oh god 😂

audience had an r/whoosh moment

i had to look him up. oh my god can you imagine your legacy being the most popular minstrel performer?

@@jakelieberman2455 one of the best jokes in the whole skit, and like 2 people laughed. Very disappointing.

​@@nelle5339 I had my doubts that you didn't refer to "minstrel" as a ménestrel, a medieval musician So I checked for other definitions... And now I only hope I've never said something along the line of "I'd love to see a minstrel show reenactment" to native english speakers

No one has a logical answer to that question...

@Jim Dandy Then you probably weren't looking.

1981. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-ViM_TtVrFUc.html

@Jim Dandy "These Democrats?" Cult45? 🙄

miapdx Because they’re all Democrats that did😂 Someone’s a triggered Liberal and I like what I’m seeing!

@@anthonyl.9059 All Democrats? Do you WATCH the news? The two main people this is about are a Democrat AND a Republican. Don't try and take the moral high-ground. Also, not all liberals are Democrats. Not all liberals even _like_ Democrats.

And also when he says Yes! Remember Black Jeopardy with Tom Hanks?! Lol

Jim Dandy thanks grandpa, things today are allowed to be funny too.

Jim Dandy comedy is subjective gramps, so you’re idea of funny back in the Jurassic park days may be a lot different from how us millennials see funny.

Keenan Rick rocks it. Agreed lol

Black Jeopardy when Kenan is so thrilled with Tom Hanks he rushes to the podium to shake his hand and Tom backs away thinking he's coming to assault him. Hank's reaction is so brilliant.

Conny Mac right?!

Who is he?

Habiba Duval he was an extremely popular singer and film star in the early part of the 20th century who routinely wore blackface while singing (he was white). His most notable role was in the first ‘talking picture’ in 1927 called ‘The Jazz Singer’ where his character wore blackface (he was basically playing a version of himself as an entertainer, and not playing a black man directly). That his style was so accepted at the time is very telling about white culture at the time. In the 40s two biographical films were made about him, and the blackface was in those as well. I saw them on VHS in the 90s (my dad was an Al Jolson fan-I couldn’t stand him) the blackface was still treated matter of fact (like there was no disclaimer on the box or anything to put it into context). Quite shockingly It’s only been relatively recently that the tide has turned (and there’s still a lot of work to be done unfortunately).

I adore Jolson

I'm not sure if this is a good thing or a bad thing.

Lmao gonna have to give that one another 100 years.

The one that's the opposite of beta male, nasally, dweeb voice

Deep,stern,with soul and emotion😂

@YourNatureBoy27 ding ding ding.

His expression and hand gesture when he says "Big'ol Black Booty" give it a perfect delivery that would break anyone lol

Yeah pete is lame!

Trucking Lane's I like Pete as an stand up comedian but he’s a shitty actor

What you expect from a drugee

Just like Jimmy Fallon and Jones 😢

Pete is just not made for sketch comedy.

What does the voice mean? I'm not from the US and I don't understand. Is it about the tone (higher or lower voice) or the vocabulary and pronounciation? I would guess it's about people imitating soul stars?

Generally, they have different pronunciations of words and a unique dialect SkylaSternenlocke

@@dougiejones5719 They? Careful buddy. That was a little racist.

@@SkylaSternenlocke By voice they mean dialect.

@@MarcoPolo1299WOAH WOAH WOOAAHH... PRONOUNS!! now skeeter, he ain't hurtin nobody..

Omg your channel description is awesome

So you left out dialog that occurred in between the commentary...nice way of fudging the truth. Have to leave shit out to be cool? Yay..you're a tool

@@v10dodge87 you didn’t even spell dialogue right lmao "tHiNk yOUR cOoL hUH?"

I can't agree more - he's the only reason why I tune into SNL and I fast forward to his skits

Kenan's the funniest. We have the same sense of humor 😂😂😂😂😂

Kenan and McKinnon

Is and has been for a very, very long time.

Every sketch is basically the same 4 people

jordan secrist ...oh dear.

lol

I'm surprised they didn't think of that! 😘

Omg that's funny..😂😂😂😂...

You win

4:07

Why does he look like Aaron Tveit?

Nain Martinez , SNL proves once again that it is a totally Safe Space for anyone offended by humor.

TriState Forestry Service lol that’s what you took out of that line? 😂 you must be fun at parties...

atmosvere , what do you mean? SNL hasn’t done anything funny for over fifteen years. Too much liberal butthurt politically correct whining to “push the envelope” with any actual comedy.

TriState Forestry Service You sound like the very people SNL make fun of. Congratulations buddy lol

Grace Coleman , you just proved my point perfectly. Thank you man.

Yeah, NO.

u have extremely low standards, ms. npc

@@phiwei3734 Its a joke in reference to her being biracial. Halsey is half black

Then you're ALLOWED to destroy the country, and everyone will be afraid to call you on it since they don't want to appear racist.

@Jim Dandy: The only thing I thought was stupid was Kenan not going off...

He seems to just be getting better...like he's just having more fun.

I read somewhere he’s been offered his own sitcom which he’s accepted. That’s usually when they jump ship. I’d be surprised if he isn’t gone by 2020.

@@qbizm I'd definitely check it out if he does.

qbizm it seems like the sitcom is a go but it will be done by NBC. I wouldn’t be surprised if the sitcom was shot during snl breaks and he pull off a double duty.

@@bigdinlaca That'd be great.

Scott Hopkins And yours will get way less

Blackface boi

This comment is about as funny as this sketch! Dude, you should write for SNL!

Oh God. Now I kind of wanna see that.

Listen to my Lil Pump Diss song or your kid will turn out to be gay

It really doesn't lol. (gene wilder)

Or during Halloween 😏

@@yattaguru with a klan member is bs

@Jim Dandy We are old, because SNL hasn't been funny in a loooonnnng time.

Jazz Singer (1927)

probably because most people didn't get it.

Sad because it's probably a predominately white, liberal audience. They know what blackface is yet they don't know who Al Jolson is.

It was our reality a lot more recently than the 80s on "Saturday Night LIve" with Fred Armisen and Jimmy Fallon both appearing in blackface on SNL....you know, in the current millennium!

Mark Ellsworth exactly!

Francis Smith please don’t make this about politics

Francis Smith sorry didn’t know 🤷🏽‍♀️

I agree, this is our reality and it is very very sad😔

I haven't heard of Halsey before (except the Admiral). New cast member?

Gr8 comment. Two 👍

No shit! But if it's a white man, ranting; oh he's just expressing himself...😩

That's because all you ever do is complain

@@npvols4321 Thanks for making more point more poignant country-mate =].

" they're so aggressive, why can't they complain about racism in a nice way 😢 "

Go watch Night School with Tiffany Haddish and Kevin Hart there’s a whole skit where the principle does black voice

Possibly the character "Frylock" on "Aqua Teen Hunger Force".. or any man who can sing R&B well?

Phoenixx Trih I really couldn’t tell you bro

Scott Martin I believe that’s what he meant maybe

You can just look up “ minstrel show” and see how we are imitated

I have an anus.

Emily Rose "biracial" isn't even a scientific term 😂😂 humans are 100% African, 99.9% identical 💯🇺🇸 The eldest Europeans are African by tens of millions of years then Hispanics by tens of thousands of years. Hispanic African (Denisovan) dna is atleast 400k years old and the Hispanics have been in the Americas for atleast 60k years. Modern ethnicities didn't spread African depigmentation genes until 5-8k years ago 😂 "When it comes to skin color, the team found a patchwork of evolution in different places, and three separate genes that produce light skin, telling a complex story for how European’s skin evolved to be much lighter during the past 8000 years. The modern humans who came out of Africa to originally settle Europe about 40,000 years are presumed to have had dark skin, which is advantageous in sunny latitudes. And the new data confirm that about 8500 years ago, early hunter-gatherers in Spain, Luxembourg, and Hungary also had darker skin: They lacked versions of two genes-SLC24A5 and SLC45A2-that lead to depigmentation and, therefore, pale skin in Europeans today." www.sciencemag.org/news/2015/04/how-europeans-evolved-white-skin "You and I, in fact everyone all over the world, we’re literally African under the skin; brothers and sisters separated by a mere two thousand generations. Old-fashioned concepts of race are not only socially divisive, but scientifically wrong." "Explain that genetic evidence shows all humans are 99.9% identical and do not fall neatly into physical categories some people call races. The differences among us-like skin color and hair texture-evolved as humans adapted to different environments. They account for less than one tenth of one percent of our genetic makeup." www.nationalgeographic.org/activity/all-africans-under-the-skin/

@@mikerod9555 Stupid isn't a scientific term either.

Electric Sheep brainwashed people like that don't live in reality so most will deny facts and cry lol I've talked with some of those trolls before 😎💯🇺🇸

@@mikerod9555 you prove my point. You hate black so much, but yet you study so much about our culture, just so you can insult someone. Just show how much a racist person is truly miserable and insecure about themselves. 😂😂😂 which is why I don't take insult to the heart. Bullies are really insecure and insensitive miserable people. Who have no life, but to down grade other people, so they can feel smart. When all reality, they have no heart or no soul. Just a one way ticket to hell.

I had to look it up and DEAR GOD lmao

You can tell no one got it. Low Jolson though

That was smart!

look man it was just a goof it was a joke it was 2018 it was a different time i didn't do anything wrong

Obnoxious.... apparently people can't change, can't make mistakes.... Well, no, not true.... It depends on what end of the political spectrum your on.... That's what decides if it's a forgivable mistake or not.

@@ladyweasellou3367 Oh STFU! When you have changed you hold yourself accountable, don't complain about hypothetical others.

VioletteOrdinaire YOU ARE AWESOME FOR THIS RESPONSE

LadyWeaselLou being racist is NOT a “mistake”. ESPECIALLY within the older generations in 2021. yall should know being racist is wrong. be mature and own up to your ignorance.

Acts17Apologetics it was the 80s!!

What if we all just stopped being so sensitive to stupid shit ?

*356 people lol

It’s cool if you’re jimmy kimmel and it was just a few years ago on tv tho right? That should’ve been in this sketch lol

Exactly

whitenoise i hear u that was because people liked them, not to mock them though.

MacyLouWho ...hahaha thank you needed the laugh...

And I bet you never imagined when you saw those Tina Turner and MJ Halloween costumes that future generations of pseudo-"woke" college students would decree that the choice of wearing those costumes to impersonate a contemporary pop music star was the most important and defining moment of the accused's lives! And that having worn those Tina Turner and MJ costumes 35 years ago the only act of contrition sufficient for the offense is to slink into the shadows for the rest of their lives!

@@whitenoiseihearu4018 What are you saying? The MJ & Tina Turner costumes WERE NOT mockery, they were adulation.

Do you live in MS to?

This state was a lot worse in the 80's and 90's. Michael Jackson had to fight to have his videos shown on MTV in the 80's. Even in the 90's it was hard to find black music if you did not have BET. A lot has changed. If you did things in high school and college is should not matter as much. People do a lot trying to impress others. We make mistakes when we are you and hopefully we learn from these mistakes.

You’re competing with my state now ... (North Carolina).

Try being a woke person in Georgia. I get being a minority, it sucks!

It is sad that Northam has told people he will not resign because he does not want to be knowm as a racist for the rest of his life. All governors should put their state ahead of themselves. Not going to happen though.

@Aesthetic Medic Ummm....no. Why did you think you had to go there?

@Aesthetic Medic so.....if a white woman dyes her hair black, then what. Engage critical thinking before ignorant comment next time, please.

@Aesthetic Medic Why are you deliberately practicing willful ignorance on here? Can you pretend to be enlightened?

Lol, thank you for the gift of levity in these trying times, when so many of my white "brothers and sisters" are so fucking ignorant it hurts...😂😭😭

@Aesthetic Medic You're kidding right? People dye their hair all different types of color. Most of the time when you see black women wearing wigs and weaves is to protect their hair from heat damage. They aren't trying to emulate white people. Seriously Becky, not everything is about you.
