The Nerds: Nerd Prom - SNL 

I’m not sure how many times they’d played these characters up to this point. At least a couple, so they had time to flesh out their roles. Perfect vibes for sure.

Agreed 💯! I noticed the way she shuffles over to and up the stairs after Todd rings the bell. She’s totally in character. Warmth and joy indeed!

I can say is, my sons grew up on SNL, and watch to this day, as I've been watching from the first!! 😂❤

Gilda's the bar by which all other SNL females are judged by, one of the original Not Ready For Prime Time Players. RIP GR.

She was amazing and my comedy hero. So sad when she died.

Forever Gilda Radner.

Oh, yes! There's a certain special something in the air whenever they play off each other.

Legend has it, Bill, Gilda, and Gene Wilder partook in three ways

Weren’t they dating then.

Yes. They were in love. Look at the other clip of Lisa' felt sweater.

Didn't he abuse her in their relationship?

The guy who invented the smiley face in Worcester during an advert convention ma never trademarked it so someone else did and he got zilch..

True Story...

And her love for Gene Wilder😊

Like Chris, and the 2 John's, she left us too soon

I don’t like her

I read once that John Belushi was on record saying that women can't be funny. Working with Gilda Radner should have shown him that that's not true.

We need them now in quarantine!

The Not Ready for Prime Time Players would out-do the prime-time players of any generation.

I noticed the old snl comedians never looked at que cards to deliver their lines. Quality man.. Quality...

@@khairiledzhamismail1029I don't think Lorne made them look at the cue cards all the time like now. Because some of the SNL alums said Lorne made it mandatory to read from the cards to get a better camera angle sometimes after the show started, he simply did not like the idea of ​​the actors facing each other and not the audience. You know, Lorne got to that point with the trial and error method and Murray & Radner were the first generation of SNL, you can't just say that memorizing is the best way to make a sketch better.

as a 17 year old i second this I wish I had easier access to older snl sketches

I'd watch that sitcom

Thought the same. The ending left the tone not of laughing at, but with the characters. There wasn't malice. The characters are total dorks but instantly likable and relatable.

Pot was never involved. :)

I was a child then but my older sister and I would stay up and watch it on her small black and white TV.

Yes. Same.

Yes! Order pizza,make some nachos,and SNL.

Same here, I had the only TV on my dorm floor and had a full house every Saturday night. Alcohol was never involved either....

If you watch how he maneuvers to sit down it is quite obvious that he is quite uncomfortable.

Because they loved each other. 💖

That was my favorite part.

me too 😢

Wow, I felt it too. ❤

"You're so immatuuure" cracks me up.

3rd Rock From The Sun

Definitely a different kind of humor. I really like vintage humor, but this skit I just didn't get.

She was one in a million, wasn't she?

She was remarkably funny, sure miss her wit...

"only 40 years" okayy

What do you think has changed the most? Based on this skit.

I prefer the original Not Ready for Prime Time players.

@@elizabethcosslett8937 Remember kissing hello? Shaking hands? Standing close together? :) I miss those things!

@@BeLoud13 The kissing hello thing always got me in trouble with strangers ;)

The Not Ready for Prime Time Players were waaaaaaaaaay before their time

Not so sure what is so wholesome about band-aids on mosquito bites.

@@MickSupper how old are you ? if you're young the joke flew over your head like a jet plane if older you lack a sense of humor

@@michaellorenzen8200 I never said anything about it being funny or not, I said there's nothing wholesome about it. And no, it wasn't funny.

She's probably in heaven in a hot tub with Hugh downs and now Henry kissinger can join them and it can be reported on 20/20 my Bad that's Cheri Oteri

and gorgeous!

She still is.....Great Art never dies...😸✌

willminkorea2010 ya

willminkorea2010 -My favorite on S.N.L.

willminkorea2010 Hahahaha

THANKS! I was scanning comments to find his name mentioned. OMG Buck Henry - I wonder if he's still alive. Nope - he died @ 89 in 2020. A long life.

She dead?

Alex Marquettiukn. she died in 1989

"...here's special those prom nuggies you ordered!"

Yeah. Though if a guy were to do that in real life to a girl, they better be ready to get a punch in the nuts. Peanuts. Geddit? Ha-hah! (snorts + shoulder heaves)

Alex Thomas Yeah sexual harassment is so hilarious

It wasn't sexual harassment; it was just harassment. Didn't you watch the goofy sexless relationship between those two? It is part of the joke of them being nerds.

I have to agree -- in this instance, it's really just two friends (who probably like each other) screwing with each other. This is a long running skit series, and these two characters are close. They have an understanding about physicality.

You must mean Bills "Muray-Pants"! I've had 3 pair! A lot of people thought I was Bill Murray! LOL

So does Sally Acorn, whom Jane should really voice.

Foodisgood its 40 years old now

@Andrew Brunnette yes it is

Its gonna hit its midlife crisis soon lol

Andrew Brunnette not that “old” how about 60 yrs old You: not that old

I forgot how cute these sketches were.

The late Seventies were full of disco too. Don't tell me you didn't like disco, EVERYBODY loved disco.

Me too, as my name is Lisa and my amazing boyfriend Todd should be asking me to marry him soon. 🤞👍😃

@@lisahartlaub5485 Congrats on the future engagement.

@@lisahartlaub5485 prob just get a noogie 😂

70s pants!

No offense, but what was so funny about this?

geekymelanin None taken... to each they're own. Everyone has a different opinion of what they think is funny and humorous. I prefer comedy that is not so vulger and offensive. I happen to think this is funny. Have a good day.

Todds man bulge for starters.

It’s a sad parody of what it used to be

geekymelanin you don’t find the way Gilda’s character talks funny? I was rolling over in tears. Look at Bill Murray’s pants. “No new developments” (goes for breasts) “guess not”. Don’t you get the ‘providing the mayonnaise’ reference when she refers making babies to making egg salad?

Piemaster927 he’s lived up to that name hahahaha!

A lot of the old people weren’t Travolta fans.

I remember we wanted to drink Tang because that's what the astronauts drank in space! LOL

My husband still does lol

Uncle Roy!!

Oh wow! I forgot about uncle Roy! Sshhh! Don’t say it too loud though. They’re canceling folks all the way back to the caveman era right now.

It was the turning point between the way things pretty much always used to be to the new greedy repugnicon era with their first feckless leader, ron reagan, the actor.

Innocent? W t a F...

@@paintinganimalsonrocks7633 “Okay, Future Boy, tell me this: WHO is president of the United States in 1985?”

Pity for nerds perhaps :/

It makes me think of a simpler more innocent time.. idk what it is but a prom today seems more fake.. is it just me?

me too, no one could be sweeter than Gilda by a long shot

Valerie Young Go Fuck yourself snowflake

Thomas Schneider Shut up.

my mother and father and I would huddle around our little black and white TV and watch SNL together those were great times all 3 of us ROTFL our butts off then repeating the best lines all week long until next weekend

Trenten Phillips I didn't even realize that, but I like this a lot more. It can be distracting watching Snl when they don't make eye contact.

I KNOW RIGHT. IT'S SO MUCH BETTER WHEN THEY MEMORIZE THEM

Truth.

Not to mention when they actually had strong, natural talent.

To be fair, there was a lot of improv too.
