The First Three Way - Saturday Night Live 

This felt like a pilot episode for a doomed, raunchy sitcom.

I thought the premise of this was going to be that they invented the threeway, as in the first to discover it, which would have been funny.

This isnt a comedy skit, it's post-nut clarity personified.

This was practically just like a scene you’d see in a sitcom today.

That punchline: "Do you want to watch the tape?" 😂😂😂

Less than a comedy skit and more like a scene from a play.

Chris Parnell walked so that Jason Sudeikis could run. Some you might think it's the other way around, but chronologically, that would be incorrect.

The youtube algorithm has finally started giving me new Chris Parnell sketches. Yay!

The dude just jumping past the door in the beginning spooked me

This was awesome. The acting was top notch awkward. It displayed Ana G. acting talents. She is a very talented character actress, in many movies.

This scene is so fucking true to life especially when he says “well it was nothing like my fantasy” I felt that

Just remember the golden rule. It’s not gay, when you’re in a three way. With a honey in the middle, there’s some leeway. I’m sure somebody has written this exact same thing.

On the other hand, the skit itself was... slow an uncomfortable... like an actual post three-way conversation might be.

He's playing Jerry Smith years before the character existed.

The fact they all came down full dressed was the funniest part to me 😂😂

The on-deck circle 😆

I wasn't laughing, but the last line put a smile on my face.

"A sucret & a nickel" 😆😂😂

Heather Graham, always... amazing.

Did anyone see that crew member walk past the glass door

Way to ruin a perfectly good three way, Cyril

"You want to watch the tape". "yeah just fast-forward when I tell you to". LMFAO!!!

0:22 surprise stalker in the front door window

2:36 - now that's an unfortunate choice of words

"If I'm ever in a three way, I gotta be honest, one of you might NOT get a turn." -Felipe Esparza

0:20 Mike Myers peeping through the window?

and the award for most awkward skit in the history of SNL goes to.........

0:23 is that a crew member outside? Or a ghost?

Neighbor creeping in the back yard

0:22 Notice the stage hand on the other side of the door...

This isn’t how porn videos depict it.

Dude ducking down in the window 😂😂😂

Well written, kinda insightful!

Love Heather Graham during that time period. Always came across as cute and playful.

I’m pretty sure this is exactly how most people feel after their first three-way 😂😂😂

Heather Graham, always liked her look.

This takes on a real ''Of course...'' perspective when considering that he's Jerry.

To think that this was just a stage that was put together in seconds. You totally buy that it's a house.

This doesn't go over so well in 2021.

"oh come on yourself" and no one noticed a great zinger

It's not gay when it's a 3 way - golden rule

The moral of the story don´t do Threesomes if you aren´t comfortable with your own sexuality already.

Cold and uneaten ....

Hey, they actually memorised their lines, rather than looking at cue cards for the entire sketch!

The roller girl that I like!

Lol the random person ducking through the door at about the 20 second mark

@0:23 is that Dracula in the window?!

That stage hand in the door window at 0:23 though. LOL

This is one of the most depressing skits ever. Like when you find out that sugar makes you diabetic. Or that Santa isn't real.

Great throwback! I need more guys! MORE INPUT!!!!

Heather Graham could turn a flamboyant man straight 🐕🎸

"She's practically family" one of the worse things to say unless you live in Alabama

These never end well lol

The very best part of this video, and the comments is appreciating how good I have it. Yes my wife and have played that game, more than once, and it’s always been a great experience!

The "on deck circle" comment is on point

Did not see the video tape bit coming...excellent ending.

Fastest way to ruin a relationship is to ask for an "open relationship" or start experimenting w/additional partners.

All I could think about is his tiny arms lol

This is why Jerry Seinfeld couldn't go through with it in-universe on his sitcom.

I had no idea Heather Graham had host...

For all those in the comments section that haven't experienced it yet, it's best when all 3 of you are single but interested in each other. If 2 of you are dating then there will def be those awkward moments from my experience.

iS hE tHe VoIcE oF mOrTy'S dAD?

omg that is outrageous

Oh my goodness!..... Lol 😂

They had me at Roller Girl.

"Oh come on yourself". slipped that one in lol.

Sounds like whoever wrote this skit had some issues.

It's nice to see a skit where they're not reading off of cue cards.

Heather Graham in Boogie Nights was awesome..

Yea this was like a video exhibition of healthy communication through awkward feelings and moments. Rather than a skit. You and your wife had a three way. You and you wife tried to spice it up and it went awkwardly.

That went a lot better than I suspected.

This would’ve worked perfectly in a sitcom or something of that nature. Still enjoyed it though. I miss this kind of SNL

never knew people who engaged in such things who didn't end in disaster... it's not healthy

my wife and I always felt a little closer afterwards- We ALL enjoyed ourselves!

The live studio audience was a little comfortable with this sketch. 😂

This is EXTREMELY on the mark. It's very healthy to sit down afterwards and talk about things. It's more common than not for a threesome to be disappointing, lame, or upsetting. They can be good. But for them to have a threesome with their babysitter probably wasn't a great decision as they already had a positive business and "almost family" relationship with her. That's putting a lot of good stuff at stake. Having said all that, a threesome can be super fun. As unspontaneous as it may seem, you have to talk out limits, protection, etc. ahead of time so no one's feelings get hurt. Make sure everyone understands the meaning of consent. But if you've got all that, everyone is feeling the vibe and excited, go for it. Mistakes will be made no matter what, so learn from them, like the people in this skit.

that was awkward

My favourite line - “Come on yourself!”

Man I love Ana Gasteyer. Totally unfair she didn't seem to have as much of a movie career as her SNL alum from that era.

"Cold and uneaten"

She SPRINTED out of there

SNL cast people you couldn't imagine actually doing it. Heather Graham and any other two people sure.

We don’t want to lose you as our babysitter.. lmao

The punchline was the only funny part. Agreed it was more like a scene from a play than a comedy sketch.

little boat 😆

1:37 Well that's just canon

Chris Parnell was awesome. The babysitter. Hahahah

Those crazy 80's sitcoms

If I've learned anything in life, it's don't include a good babysitter in a three-way. It just gets weird and you lose the babysitter.

LMAO, this is about right. I wouldn't know but, this sounds like par for the course.

He's effortlessly Jerry at all times.

0:22, they have someone snooping outside :D Is it that hard for the crew to stay away from windows? :D

Heather Graham. Hottest Woman Ever!

The guy in the window scared the hell out of me

Ana Gasteyer is underrated.

This is why you have a three way with two girls you're not in a relationship with!😁

I read this as the first three ways to save

"On-deck circle" 😭

Fred and Sheila Shay hey!!!

I’m pretty sure this is a riff on a movie that Heather Graham did with Robert Downey Junior. So for people saying it’s awkward it’s supposed to be because that’s what the movie was like.
