Why Martin Lawrence Was Banned From 'SNL' - Here's Why 

Bro don't mention Kevin Hart in the same breath as Martin. Kevin doesn't compare.

Wait wait wait. Is this the same SNL that did. “Dick in a box”

"NBC won't even talk to me Gina... It's like I've been banned.. So I told them them they can KISS MY ASS!

That terrible narration of Martin’s monologue still made me laugh.

When Tom Dubois from Boondocks reads a Martin Script

"Are you still banned from SNL" "I don't give a damnnnn" 😂😂😂😂😂

I bet when Martin said it, it was funny 🤷🏾‍♀️

Boomerang was heavy underrated

Yeah...him reading martins monologue was worst than nails on the chalkboard

SNL is overrated and corny. I can't stand that show.

Martin Lawrence didn’t need SNL they needed him. He was already an established comedian.

This nigga’s enunciation & Martin’s dialogue is like oil & water

On the breakfast club he literally said he was not banned on SNL, he was banned from NBC. Which NBC later apologized in a letter, which he read on one of the night shows years back. You know your the ssshhhhh when a whole HUGE network apologizes to you! Which they have NEVER done for any other comedian/actor black or white! 💯 💯#Martin#LivingLegend#OneOfAKind

This guy reading Martin's monologue is a hell no

Sorry Kevin is good, but he’s like the kid at partys people tell to do the dance🤣🤣🤣 it’s cool for a min you know. Good man though.

If you’re reading this, you’re awesome. Keep pushing!

Martin: women need to wash themselves NBC: we don’t agree with Martins views Lmfao wtf

Wish we got the actual clip of the monologue

News flash: Martin Lawrence didn’t need SNL to be a solidified comedian....🤷🏾‍♂️ Martin was killing shit in the 90’s💯 HES A LIVING LEGEND

Martin is bigger than any show on NBC! Thank you Martin for being you!

Who the hell calls House Party 2 "The Pajamajam"? ....it's House Party 2

He still thought he was hosting Def comedy Jam i could only imagine the crowd face when he said wash your ass dooooouche lol

You butchering this was more offensive than the joke 🤣🤣🤣🤣

That monologue was funny asf ! Wtf wrong with people 🤦🏽‍♀️ guess all the stinkies were upset 🤣🤣🤣

Honestly with the way the current SNL is now, he's ban was a blessing for him.

Redd Foxx said the same thing. Wash yo azz!!!!😂

Martin was on" what's happening now " TV show. Y'all never mention that.

Martin lawrence is tupac in comedy form

Talkin Dirty after Dark was his first starring role by himself

They banned a legend then came back begging for forgiveness.

If he was really banned from SNL, who cares. He's funnier than all of the comedians that do that show anyway(respect to Eddie Murphy for his brief stint anyway

The cold part is he did this bit in "You So Crazy" and the crowd roared

Hey, he encountered some funky fish and was spreading the message.

Although RED FOXX WAS TWO DECADES BEFORE HIM... and “You Need To Wash Yo Ass” was the name of his HOUR LONG COMEDY SPECIAL and one of his most NOTED specials

He deserved to be brought back for Eddie’s recent monologue. SNL and NBC have forgiven far more offensive behavior.

When we gon get one last Eddie and Martin movie

Martin never sold out and so I'm proud of him for that!

It sounds like he did it on purpose 😂😂💀 as if he didn’t give af about a ban or not lmaooo thats Marty Mar!! 🤷🏾‍♂️

I don’t see Martin returning to SNL. His response says is all, and I wouldn’t blame him if he doesn’t.

I wanna actually see the video of him on SNL. Not some Random narrator trying to sound like Martin Lawrence

"Anybody got any butter?" OMG I'm dead 😂 But for the record, do not douche!!!

YO!! YO!!YO!! YOOOOOO!!! NEVER & I MEAN NEVER!!!! COMPARE K.H TO M.L!!! EVER!!!!!

Boomerang wasn't underrated. It's a classic!

Man screw SNL lol it's not really for us anyway it's like the oscars.

"Talking Dirty After Dark" was a good Martin Lawrence movie too.

Some of that monologue was a little too _real_ for that almost white primetime audience. Had he did it on _Def Comedy Jam_ it would've been a whole different story. They almost censored Richard Pryor when he hosted _SNL_ in its first season. He caused the network to have a seven second delay. Long live Marty Mar!!!!

I'm 2 minutes in and annoyed that he just saying words at this point

Why his voice over sounded like Micheal rapaport in higher learning

HERES THE UNCUT VERSION : streamable.com/atgms

Martin, was on that Richard Pryer level, when it pertains to his story telling skills. Y'all, I miss Def Jam. Martin, is still awesome!!

I don’t like this guys voice I want the other guy

Nobody ever talk about his star search performance🤷🏽‍♀️

Martin ripped off Redd Foxx's bit, "you gotta wash yo ass.," old skool 70s routine.

Martin doesn't need SNL or NBC. He's fine without them.

Man I kno u didn’t say Martin is like Kevin hart -Kevin wishes he was Martin -nah bruh

Boomerang wasn't underrated.

He needs to do the “ white Bob character “ and he will be back on SNL

Martin lawrence is a legend haha. A complete great. Kevin Hart looks up to all of those ogs like carlin, harvey, murphy, lawrence, mack, cedric, etc. The greats 🤧

The narration was cringy but I still laughed out loud 😂... I love me some Martin...Kevin Hart could never, he's on top now because white America loves him. Their sense of comedy is different than ours.

He wasn't banned from SNL, he was banned from NBC altogether until he received a letter from an NBC head letting him know he was welcomed again to be on NBC.

I didn’t know he was banned from NBC and he hosted SNL?

Come on he never needed SNL

His jokes wasn’t even offensive. Many of have these conversations all the time

An example of when keeping it real goes wrong.

That’s just how Martin was back in the day. He was and still is a comedic genius

It’s not like he was lying. There’s women til this day who needs to hear his monologue.

That's actually a bit from his stand up. This looks like a good place for a stick up....

*Eastside Low Bottoms shit !* I was on RU-vid recently tryna find any remnants of sketches from whn Ol' Marty-Mar hosted. I only saw one with him and Chris Farley whn they played prisoners in a 'scared straight' type of scenario. I'd love to see the whole episode if possible. And WHO CARES if nbc banned him. He should wear that like a badge of honor !

This is wrong, Martin was first role was what's happening now not do the right thing.

Martin was the dude in the '90s. His best stand-up was One night only. He killed it 👏🏿

Who idea was it to put a young Martin Lawrence on SNL 🤦

He said he was banned from NBC on the breakfast club yesterday.

Yes I love him. He is a big part of the culture.

Why narrate the monologue instead of just playing it?

I don't give a damn in my Martin voice 😂😂😂😂

Y’all must’ve knew when we heard them say he was banned from SNL yesterday on the breakfast club we all wanted to know why 🤣🤣🤣

He was probably talking about a member of the cast or an exec. 😂

Almost stopped watching when he mentioned Kevin Hart😒

Dont ever mention hart and MARTIN IN THE SAME BREATH

Martin Lawrence's humor was different in so many ways. Kevin Hart is different from Martin Lawrence. Richard Pryor,Bill Crosby,Red Fox,& Flip Wilson started comedy so that the comedians of today can continue the tradition of black comedy.

Martin is one of my fav shows. I love his acting. So natural and real.

Gatt damn. Martin was the MAN . Imagine if internet was out in 92. Damn

All those jokes were from "You So Crazy" And he was banned from NBC and SNL

😁😂😁🤣😂🤣😁🤣😂😁 he wasnt lying tho. But they knew his style of comedy.... shouldnt have invited him...

Man You Can't compare No Kevin Hart to Martin Lawrence. Yes Kevin is doing his thang but he's no Martin .

To be kind of fair, as far as him not coming up to the stage at the rest of the black comedians he's just not really that relevant anymore. Not to say his work should be forgotten but he just hasn't really been constantly in the game with comedy and whatnot as much as the others.

Definitely Martin Lawrence was the man in the 90s

I love the Martin commentary voice over with the fake cheers. Took me TF out 😂😂😂

MARTIN FAN 4 LIFE ... KEEP YOUR HEAD UP MY BROTHER ... ✌❤🙏

Only 0:56 seconds in and gonna pass on this when you actually said Martin and Kevin Hart in the same sentence... #StopItFive

SNL's garbage anyway. Who cares?

I’m sure ol’ Marty Mar don’t wanna have to “Apologize” while on his knees. That’s why he don’t give a damn about hosting SNL. IMHO

My man.. wth you didn't just play the audio.... you reading his lines is wack... smh

Martin, Chris Rock, and Chris Tucker had the 90s on lock.

“Anybody got any butter , I like jelly on mine !” 😂😂

It wasn’t just the monologue. It started there, he was cursing during skits too. I watched it live cause I love Martin but he had me cringing, he was doing the most. I knew it wasn’t gonna go over well. The cut his scenes back and it seemed to me that maybe Lorne Michaels or some one pulled him to the side and I guess check him. It became apparent to me as the show went on he was just becomig more belligerent with the cursing, like he was being defiant like f*k SNL. He was the Mannat the time and maybe thought he was bigger than SNL. After that is when everything went downhill for him and he was humbled. His first movie after being humbled is Black Knight in which he was taught a great lesson.

"The only one missing from this moment was Martin Lawrence AND Chris Tucker....." There Fixed.....

I LOVE how every black comedian that were considered to be 'too much' for SNL went off to have successful careers.

When did Snl become the king maker? No one even watches Snl since .....damn I can’t even remember 🤔

Living Legend 💯
