The Killer Bees: Home Invasion - SNL 

Man, SNL was really something back in the 70s

Me too! 😂

Saw this with Mom she loved it it's actually funny

@@phatman8986 it's not funny

This skit aired in 1976, not 1975.

@@damachine3 still season 1

@@dildonius I know, but that wasn't my point. My point was that he saw it in 1976, not 1975.

Bees are a buzz

Doesn't this just encapsulate the seventies.

@Big Bubba Whether they knew or didn't know, the skit still had an ending. I like the fact that the joke goes on so long as to annoy its own audience, regardless if that was their intention.

Big Bubba it was the 70s. Writing was different then jesus your brain

This shit ain't funny though.. Belushi wasn't funny at all.. people think just because something is old it's better.. Chris Farley, will Farrell , Richard Pryor , Tracy Morgan, horatio sanz , Kate McKinnon.. Those ppl are genuinely funny..

😂 🤣😂 🤣

aif Sandy Duncan was blind one one eye, she had a glass eye. A Viewmaster was a toy you looked through like binoculars to see an image on a disc. Without both eyes the image isn’t clear.

I did, " is this some kind of joke"?? The eyes have it

Hello Anna.

Ikr😂😂😂😂😂😂

This was not unusual for SNL with this talented cast, but Belushi stole whatever scene he was in. Chevy was an actor playing a bee, John WAS a bee.

I mean its better to laugh at things than complain at things! So many people have such thin skin

Nobody asked if you were offended.

@@Dan-nt2yb nobody asked if you were a douche?!

@@Dan-nt2yb I asked him. He was able to answer the question.

I'm Italian and I feel the same way when I see depictions of Italian Americans as stupid, badly educated and part of the mob, it's hilarious. We have become much too over sensitive to everything. Not to mention there is a great difference between humor that is mean-spirited and humor...that is not. This is clearly not mean spirited.

thats not john

Yea and The narration twist he explains almost make this skit worth it

@@yolovideos8084 yeah it is

that was the point.

YoLo Videos , yes, that was John Belushi speaking..... about Lorne hiring an alcoholic and giving him a second chance.... who happened to be his father....... lol.... this was when comedy was truly funny.... Everyone knew how to take a joke back then!

Looks more like Jim Croce than anyone.

That was not Paul Simon. Paul Simon is like 5'4" and that dude was taller than Morris and Belushi.

Neil Levy and Tom Schiller are the background bees playing guitar. You can see them behind Chevy at 5:29. Levy was a production assistant, Schiller a writer. Schiller is shorter and looks a little like Simon. He directed some short films on SNL, including the one where Belushi dances in the graveyard.

it stil is.

SNL when it was creative, funny and relevant......well maybe not this skit unless you are an insect of some kind.

So you stopped right when chris farley started? Fckn lame

TheTeacher1020 dude seriously that might have been the funniest part to me along with the classical song playing in the background which I can't think of the name to.

theteachers: It was a fad for a short time in the late seventies to early eighties, some people actualy wore those. I had a job once selling them on the street. I dressed like a bee. I still didn't sell many, though. I think the fad was already passed.

The rumor back in the day was that Belushi really hated the bee outfit. He knew how to work those antennae though, usually when he was saying something serious.

They were called deely boppers

I love them

Garret Morris isn’t dead

@@somebodyiguess5969 don't know why he'd think garret dead

@@somebodyiguess5969 RIP Jon Lovitz, too.

John Doe no. Simpson's is based on El Chapulin Colorado, a Mexican "superhero bug". Which is actually pretty good comedy (still rerun in Hispanic networks)

Dios Mio!

@@ernestogasulla7763 In the 80s you'd see the bug guy practically every time you flipped to the Spanish station. Maybe it's still that way.

@@e11aguru nowadays, not every time... but I've seen it in one of the hispanic channels.

It was marijuana that went into making this sketch. Lots of marijuana.

nah, they definitely couldn't do this now(2018'). people would complain that they're portraying bee's in an negative way!!!

+The Legendary Lurch Logan Bee ' is as stu ' pid doe ' s!

+DrFruedienslipJr the human colony is Gaia collapsing, butthead at a slightly slower rate than the dominion over animal tragic kingdumb

They’re sketches not skits*

Yes they can do this today. Especially with the present cast. Go for it SNL!!!

How come?

@@katieviolin3621 he was the drunk director that got “fired”. It was just a little Easter egg

*anymore

maybe because it's not funny?

@@sillygoose635:I feel sad for you.

@@johnperrigo6474 i don't need that

They look ridiculous...that's hilarious...Elliott Gould in those stupid boots in a bee suit...fucking royal walking joke.

@@sillygoose635 I get it. Humor has changed really. I mean Jerry Lewis was hillarious when I was a kid. Not so much now. I found this skit very funny in such a bizzare way when I was a teen. Why? Because it was so different. One has to realize this deconstructive humor was brand new then. And very bizzare to see on TV. It was so new in fact that the drunk engineer building up and the camera "malfunction" was thought to be really happening. I know, I know, weve seen so much now that its hard to imagine anyone would think it real and not part of the skit. Then when we realized pretty quickly that it was part of the skit the punchline was on us. The slow build laugh. Hard to describe. And one doesnt have to think its funny now. Its old school now. But at least understand that it was very creative this deconstructive type comedy and much of what one sees and relates to now has its roots in this type skit. It was completely different than anything else of its time. Very creative and interesting. If only SNL could be as creative with a new type of comedy and the chemistry of this first cast now.

Seeing him young and before he left is pretty cool

And not for the better!

She's blind in one eye but doesn't have a glass eye. But you're right, that is the point of the joke!

+dakgeo1 a couple of surreal geniuses turd from

@@BrianSmith-ix3ns hey, look everybody a troll.

@@danielstewart7163 hey look, a moron

You have Sandy Duncan hair

Can you imagine them pulling this off today? I think not.

It would be stupid if made today. They have the worst cast in their history and racial jokes are now banned.

I wonder who wrote it. It's very creative and it worked out great.

Candy-gram.

it still is.

I'm with you and the commenter below. The first couple of years, we would stop almost everything ;) and roll through show every week. It went through A LOT of years struggling, but the couple have been superb

@@sillygoose635 😬😬😬

The mustache. Lol

Radio crap, a tandy(candy) company 😁

and nobody cares

@@BrianSmith-ix3ns well, not you.

Yes! Television history!

Jewish?

they turned the joke on it's side

Nothing (@ least since the 80's crew) has topped the simple hilarity of SNL Classic. Ain't cause I'm several years down the timeline. It's simply true! B'ware of, Los Killer B'zzzz😆😅👍!

err, the new era says otherwise.

YUP, GUILTY!!!

me

I posted it on fb as the answer to murder hornets🤣

I do not watch the News (with the exception, of, "Huey Lewis and") nor do i read my Hometown's Daily Newspaper. If you could Mail me the Page# and Date, (Month, Year etc.), of my Hometown's Daily Newspaper, containing the "Hurder Mornets" Article, then, i could Mail a Letter, to said Newspaper, requesting a Clipping of the aforementioned Article. Should my Hometown's Daily Newspaper return my request, requesting i should Mail them a "Postage Stamp", lest they Gmail me a "Middle Finger;" how much does a Postage Stamp cost? A "United States of America" Stamp, preferably, as My Hometown's Daily Newspaper is not located, in South America, lately, although, one can never Bee to sure. I should Call them, on the Telephone and ask.

If I remember correctly, I'm 66, there were some so called killer bee's back in the 70's. Don't hold me to that.
