Waffle House - SNL 

If I were president I'd play this at State of the Union, instead of a speech.

Barbs?

Hi Barby!

what's that even mean? "Amercia"...you're an unoriginal hack

​@@virginiathornton hahahahahaha!!! Same here...

Yeah, though I was waiting for the Avenger chair-catch 🤣🤣🤣

@@aus2908 lol yea i thought the skinny one was her at 1st

This is the best one yet!!!!! 😂

This skit was freaking hilarious!

This skit was genius! 😂

Lol😂

"ready to go babygirl?"💀💀

I thought it was an old lady…

Good eye! You may be right. I can't tell now.... @@lanafrank6086

There is so much going on, it's easy to miss the killer soundtrack...

True statement

Except for the ethnicity of the people trashing the place

Yup!

Real life is always funnier.

Yep airline highway in Louisiana

Ahahaha! Nice!

BAHAHA

🙏

Hilariously accurate 😂

Dude same. That cracked me up the first time I saw the empty wheelchair rolling

That joke’s one of my favorites

Def one of his top tier jokes for sure!

Yessss and then her dancing on the counter and then falling off 😂😂😂

I lost it at this part 😆😆😆

The accuracy 😂😂😂

We just opened a bistro bar in our Mathis Brothers store couple months ago and within a week had our first bar fight... it started with a lady putting her dog on the bar (im not even joking) and by the end of the argument a drink was thrown at said lady with dog followed by yelling across the store over furniture as she ran out with her dog. All the sales people just watched as it all went down xD

Her falling off was so funny

But what happened to the dog? If it belongs to the dad, why isn't it going home with them? I've watched this skit too many times...

​@@rfresa The dog was on its lunch break, he was working a double. He's a good boy who knows how to get home.

I lost it when she said that. My son came in the room to see what was so funny.

Heidi is awesome ❤❤

I had flashbacks to the time that I was on a bus going back home from the beach. Some methhead brought his dog on the bus and it became a thirty-minute standoff between him, the bus driver, and eventually the police. LOL

Yeah you see the cook saying:OH H$&@ NAW!

“Bad mistake” “Yup”

Is it though? Or you’re just making shit up? Bet you’ve never been to a Waffle House

It’s really not.

Which one was the crackhead 😂 so many of them were wildin

No shirt, tats and cornrows!

@@TiaraG413 right? I’m tryna figure out who wasn’t a crackhead at this point 😂

I tried and i couldn't do it😂😂😂😂😂

Same here.

I heard the conversation more the. The background fight

I get it!

Oh so the dog can't be on the counter?? 😂😂

I died laughing too , instant classic

bro how was this funny 😭😭

I concur, three votes for pay raise.

Amen

Another classic from actor, director, writer, polymath George Santos.

That wheelchair had me done for!!! 😂😂

The nipple rings and the cornrows had me done already 💀

@@anxiousscribe 😂😂😂😂

That was the best scene of the skit!

Yes, the arm cast sealed the deal. Spot on.

They used a green screen.

@@jackheris687 That definitely makes it easier to avoid breaking, at least until the point where Mikey Day crawled up just below camera at the end. Still, Jenna and Marcelo deserve praise for their performance. If you took out the Waffle House footage and Mikey Day's appearance at the end, you'd never know this wasn't an actual drama. They committed to those characters.

I'm shocked she didn't change the diaper up there

😂

😂

Haha…

@@DMC-rs3up She might as well have, which is why babies can't sit on the counter.

Lol I love Waffle House

My roommate in college worked at waffle house. I was working in testing center at my college and I would ask her why she won't come and work with me since they hired student and it was an easy gig. She was like " nah man! Waffle house is fun as hell"

@Skyfall Deadpool yup and people don't believe me when I tell them that you can easily make 300 dollars in tips working Friday and Saturday night. The 3rd shift is 10 hours, you get the dinner rush, the bar rush, and part of the breakfast rush. It is super busy on Friday and Saturday night. People leave you big tips for dealing with them while they were drunk.

They don't have a Waffle House where I live and I've heard too many things like this happen, and I'm really trying to believe that this isn't just a skit. You seriously telling me this kind of craziness happens?!

​@@claytonzaugg no lie. I once went to a Waffle house where all the employees were high as a kite. Took them about 40 mins to make my order. I didnt leave cause it was a show. I couldnt believe what i was seeing, It was surreal. Waffle House has good food and most of the time service is ok. But if visit Waffle house a few time you will....see things

I genuinely did not see that one coming 😂

im pretty sure he's the new boyfriend

And she like is beyond accepting the kind of Brad he is lol

RIGHT DOWN MY PANTS!

@@MsDudette21 He's her Dad, but it IS Waffle House...

Even the blinking faulty light of the Waffle House sign was mastery!

Oh and the cinematography! It was the best movie I’ve seen in decades! Can’t wait for the sequels! Bravo!!!

TV Shows don't get Oscars they get Emmy's lol

This was BRILLIANT!!

@@drphot6050 But……But…… it’s the best plot for a movie EVER😅😅

I mean that's like a slow Tuesday night experience. On the weekends it gets crazy!

Fuck yea

I lost it when that chair hit the wall 😂😂

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

True dat

There is still hope for this show. Maybe.

Right on. I'm Sharing with alot of people. One of my fav ever.

I don’t think you’ve been watching the show. This is one of many memorable skits

@@cxroxmxe in fairness I haven’t watched a ton lately so I’m sure you’re right.

The suplex caught me off guard big time! Lmao

I think most of the Waffle House shenanigans were on a green screen.

that was fantastic peripety to have Mikey Day emerge from the squabble to reveal himself as a key role in Jenna's life

Best part ever!!!

They deserve the Emmy, but it was done on a green screen. You can see this clearly at 1:46 and 1:57

I was in tears like yoooo wtf lmao 😂😂😭😭

And getting tased 😂

Plaster arm? Could it be…Tishie?

How about the pierced nipples 😂😂😂

And the awesome Dukes of Hazzard tattoo!

So, we're just going to ignore the cornrows?😂

Isn't that basically the Zucker Abrams Zucker comedies?? Airplane, Police Squad, etc.

Same 🤣🤣🤣

You're very beautiful, laugh more, smile more.

Same. With real laughing tears!🤣

How do you find this shit funny

Hi Aubrey Plaza ❤️

Punkie's wheelchair rollin off-screen followed it lol

Oh God-me too! “Oh what-a dog can’t be on a counter?” 😂

@@drphot6050 LOLOLOLOLOOOO Yes!!! 🤣

That was great. I got a kick out the little old lady tottering away with the the cop's gun.

Me too.....I was done

Wheelchairs, rednecks, A DOG!

Awww I miss Stefon😂😂😂

It's the minute detail... effortlessly hilarious!

She made this sketch 10× funnier with her few seconds on screen

plus she’s a writer so no wonder why everything she’s in is good

She's so great. Any time I see her on Comedy Bang Bang I know I'm in for a funny episode.

I was hoping to see some chairs flying like the viral waffle house fight

Over Mario or the Jake from state farm. I don't know what's going on over there. But they are actually funny again

Don’t forget Lisa from Temecula…that was gold

And no overt leftist political garbage either

​@@richardjames1812Cry harder.

Maybe because they went back to the basics instead of trying to forcing woke propaganda ,TDS BS and fake political scandals , the government gives them enough to make fun of without making up fake scandals , make fun of the real ones oh wait then they would have to admit they support a traitor

Green Screen

​@@ultimantwarrior5005 🤣🤣

She did

and Mikey Day never fails to deliver.

She probably been to Waffle House plenty of times.

Freebird gotta fly, son

That moment is definitely underrated 😆

"You HOPE it was a miracle . . . but probably not." -John Mulaney.

I just watched this with high def headphones for the first time and you can hear Mikey say "Not so tough without your chair, are ya?" 😂

smothered and covered

@@adumb1985 Chopped and Scattered

The patrons usually deserve it.

that was a suplex.

This is the way🧇

Kenan is the new Phil Hartman. The “glue” in every sketch.

Phil Hartman was an incredibly diverse, serious talent whose range was talked about by acting coaches, producers and fans of nuance-- a rare actor who could handle dramatic heavy material, nail impressions, and slay at comedic portrayals. Keenan is a guy who reads/shouts lines that are given to him by talented writers. He doesn't act and plays the same style in every one of his countless skits-- just a guy snapping out lines and making goofy eyes, every time. No more, no less. He does have good timing. Every cast member ever on SNL has good timing, tbh. But his talent basically starts and ends there. He speaks every word trying not to laugh, breaking in many scenes, tho I can't blame him-- some of the writing is truly hilarious. Keenan is not nor has he ever been the "glue" holding it together. He's the weak link among actors who turn in sometimes Oscar-worthy performances (Hader, Cecily, Aidy, Wiig, Armeston) and other contenders with serious comic talent (Forte, Punky, Sudekis). He's the guy who has the job despite not being in the same league as those he works with, and the actual actors carry the scenes while everyone laughs and fawns over him because it's popular to do so with Millenials and Gen Z'ers. Anyone can do what he does-- try it yourself. Stand in front of a mirror snd bark out his lines with buggy eyes and barely contained laughter. You'll be able to do that just as good as him. You may like him, whuch is cool, but he's not holding any scene or cast together.

Right!!!

Same!!! I'm like shhhh background people I can't hear 😂😂😂

She literally had nothing to do with the funny part of the sketch... all she did was like a practice scene for actors. The SNL cast worked around her lack of any comedic presence brilliantly to make a kickass amazingly hilarious sketch

@@BooBuKittyPhukyou completely missed the point of the original comment

@@gabehardy-fowler8126 no i got it but there was no way she could smash the _sketch_ (not skit) so hard because the writing and acting was high school melodrama at its blandest... the only way she could've done well was if she did have a funny part, but they got this sketch to be hilarious despite her not being good at funny at all throughout the entire show. The OP was giving her way to much credit for reading boring ass lines mildly well, while people are being funny af behind her. Its a long standing traditional snl workaround when they get a sucky host.

😂😂😂😂😂😂

Damn, for real? what state do you live in? I live in Kentucky and I'm so glad that the Waffle Houses that I patronize didn't break out in violence or fight.

You must go to ghetto waffle house, don't have these problems in my area because most of us are armed and roaches don't survive long here.

@@butterflysmile348 Late night Waffle Houses (frankly Denny's, IHops, or non-chain breakfast diners that are open late at night) are basically drunk tanks without bars.

@@chillwill5080 lol you shoot them, do you? how many kills ya got?

You're really clever!!! I didn't notice that!!

💯

I see this exact comment on every single skit lmao

You have very low standards

But what happened to the dog? If it belongs to the dad, why isn't it going home with them? I've watched this skit too many times...

Well this and Jake from state farm

They used a green screen.

It's mentioned in the background but we don't see it

Hmm...could've sworn I saw a chair flying, but not gonna search through it to confirm.

That’s why they don’t have many chairs in the Waffle House. Less to throw.

...and the waitress catching the chair with one hand because she's tough like that lol

That waitress was wiping chairs off her face like napkins

Two seconds later, you see her empty wheelchair.

“Not so tough without your chair!”

Oh I thought that was supposed to be her new boyfriend... I was way off.

@Double Guitars The lines were, "Do you need a ride home?" "No, my dad drove me." _crash_ "You ready to go, baby girl?" Her saying my dad drove me was to indicate he was about to enter. When she said that, I knew it was going to be the man with nipple rings 🤣.

@@PlayaP69 ah I missed that completely, I was still concentrating on the background.

Him having a cast on his arm was perfect!

You never, ever mess with the cook at the Waffle House. Dude just got out of the pen and is not up to your crazy

Waffle House is basically a military branch at this point.

2:53

It's the end of the world when the cook gets pissed off.

"Big mistake!" "Yep."

It does hit. I miss Waffle House and Golden Corral.

Tell me is Jenna a good actress?

I was paying more attention to the background than them bahahaa

@@jus_sanguinis So good its scary

I've never been to a Waffle House, but I heard stories. Sounds frightening and hilarious at the same time.😂😮😅

First Maximum Overdrive, then Hunger Games, and now this? I could cry if my family had been born with tear ducts!

Facts! There’s some Waffle House where this is happening right now.

Where is it located?

@@OvSpP right?

@@RaymondHng American south, i think it’s as far west as Texas and as far north as VA (though I’ve heard some may be in Penn.)

That's the thing about the Huddle House is you don't have to get body slammed to get free waffles.

Truth

Wow i am moved by this comment😮

Such a beautiful comment to the chaos 🥹

Damn! I'm betting that fella's books ain't got no pictures anywhere! 😀

Are you an English teacher searching for more symbolism?

You got no life, posting a novel in the comments section.

Yall often don’t get commended for your service. Thank you for all you do 🫡 . Y’all have built different

Same, i worked the 9-7 overnight shift 4 times a week/weekends back when i was a kid, and because im bigger than everyone else the staff/management always expected to break up fights and calm people down and shit. It got to the point where i just quit and went to go be a bouncer at nightclubs, at least then i would get paid more to do the shit i was already doing at waffle house, and no more grease traps to clean either lol.

@@blaccbeard funny how that plays out, I’m a vet and they threw me on every Super Bowl weekend night stuff even had me movin round town to other ones, plus they paid in cash only and you had to catch the cash boss at the right time, crazy.

You watched a man being tazed stick the electrodes into his pants? 🤔 I need to go to a Waffle House.

@@henrytawnn8694 I had to stop a pimp from beating up a stripper… twice, oh I forgot all this but another time a homeless guy reached in his pocket when the cops where talking to him and they tased him and he was just getting peanuts.

It's a rip off of an In Living Color Sketch called Background Guy w/ Jim Carrey

Forreal tho, even with all that shit going on, she was perfect 😂

Was she even in this sketch??? Lol

@@ddduh5158 🤨

Lol no

Fr kinda reminds me of those scenes with Trevor Moore Rip from WKUK

If you are from Kentucky, why would you overgeneralize and help perpetuate a disparaging stereotype that is actually a very small minority of people? 😒 Most of the rural populations have some of the most kindest, genuine, caring, friendly, hardworking, and give-you-the-shirt-off-their-backs people you will ever meet. Every state in the U.S. has its share of lower class...nor just Kentucky.

@@VintageRose75 lol. Why do you assume they are lower class? I come from a very small town in upstate, earn an upper middle class salary and I've been tased twice for the same drunk incident. Sure folks will give you their shirt of their back but this is a pretty accurate sketch in my opinion.

​@Vintage Rose 😆 😆 🤣 😂 you've never seen upper-middle class behave this way?

@@VintageRose75 Waffle House culture is separate from lower class or rural culture. You're literally the only one making that connection and that's awful stuck up of you.

Was thinking the same thing

That was an important part of the authenticity of the sketch for me.

Maybe they'll save it for future compilations on either break-up skits, teen drama skits or college skits.

Its easy when its added in post

For those that couldn't tell, those two were standing in front of a green screen. The waffle house and the two people talking were shot separately.

​@@NendoNow but then how did they have Mikey's character break through the window?

​@@rfresa So the actual set is real, as is the windows. But behind the windows is the green or blue screen. You can see the weird outline over the characters. At 2:11 look at the varsity jacket shoulder and how it flickers. You can actually see it flicker around every part of him that's in front of the window, but not around the real parts of the set like his lower body. For Mikey getting thrown out the window, just throw him out like normal and time the background to match with the throw since it's recorded separately. It's way easier to film both scenes separate and just put them together then to film it all at once since there is so much chaos in the background.

@@rfresaretty sure them throwing him out of the window was part of the green screen footage filming, then they just had him staged in the correct spot where the discussion filming was happening and had him stand up at the right time. Final walk off was filmed on the same set as the green screen footage.

Words he literally lived by
