“If by play you mean drink deep the aura of the game.”
Lol
As someone who's seen George Will talk in person in the last couple of years, I can say this is an accurate representation and that he has not changed.
Also accurate of any time he appears in a Ken Burns documentary
The joke that this skit was built around has an audience of dozens, and I love it.
@@toddchatterly9310 just watched Ken Burns’ Baseball where George appears several times and thought of this sketch. I’m absolutely rolling but I can’t think of a single person I could show this to other than r/baseball.
'It was not unlike watching Atlantis rise again from the sea, the bones of it's kings new covered with flesh' to describe Willie May's catch is just sublime....it's too clever really because so many people wouldn't know who George F Will is or ever heard him speak but still brilliant....
This is a master class in specificity. While I'm sure it's passable as a generic jock vs. ivory tower game, the mimicry of Will's style and the placement of of the "piffle or not piffle" line are just perfection.
This analysis is a couple of big words away from being a George F Will quote itself.
Nowhere near enough labored aphorisms or mentions of obscure trade laws from the Taft presidency. @@seminiferousbuttnoid
It's funny today, years later, to hear George F Will get interviewed on some radio show, and a caller will invariably get through and say, "Throw the ball, George!" It's like Howard Stern fans yelling "Baba BOOEY!" back in the day.
How in the world does this not have more views. This is funnier and better written than anything SNL has done in years.
Because few know who George Will is, and therefore, would not get the joke.
Much like the studio audience.
@@danthemankhan well… that and… do people even remember George Michael’s Sports Machine? It was like a 2 AM syndicated show here in Cleveland.
This really is a skit for like fifty people who find it hilarious. I mean, I’m one, but it’s not hard to understand why this skit is pretty much the definition of “not for everyone”
Sam screaming "Throw the ball" gave me an asthma attack I was laughing so hard.
Emphatic stroke of Byzantine whimsy is going in my rotation.
lol
That was smart writing.
I love how they chase after him at the end like a Revenge of The Nerds scene.
This was the golden age of SNL to me, so many great comedians and to me carvey
Was above all them
"Throw the ball George!" 🤣😂😂
“What was in not unlike “
So good. Never understood why he wasn't wearing the bow tie in this
George really drunk the aura of the game at the end.
Try using Byzantine whimsy in a conversation during a first date.
Buy Me A Rogets And Crackerjack I Don’t Care If I Ever Come Back… Lol 😂😂😂
Throw The Ball!!! 😮😮😮
if I *never* come back. That's the joke, that "never" is more proper than "ever." That's why he emphasizes it.
Everybody needs to watch this
I'm glad they have the Sam Donaldson stuff on here. It was edited out on the best of Dana Carvey DVD. :)
Yeah, I was just about to post this. Sam Donaldson was one of Nealon's best impressions and the sketch isn't as good without him. Editing him out was inexplicable.
Really? That's a complete bite in the ass! I get that the DVD was "Best of Dana Carvey", but to edit out Sam Donaldson is to gut the sketch. That's just asinine!
How in the world is Carvey-as-Will not wearing a bow tie?
Brilliant skit! Ahead of its time.
Remember that Plato's allegory of the cave is merely a metaphorical representation of baseball's dugout.
Ahh, it's missing the intro, with Kevin Nealon's Sam Donaldson doing the voiceover!
"THROW THE BALL, GEORGE!!"
"He's getting away!"
Throw the ball! Throw the ball!!
THROW THE BALL GEORGE!!!!!
"He's getting away!"
One of the great bits of 10-‘til weirdo writing of the entire era
"Mmm! Choco-Whip!"
The audience isn't laughing as hard because they're genuinely intrigued by the intellectual discourse
This is too good. 😂😂😂😂
Funny!!! If people know who George F Will is ???
This clip is an emphatic stroke of Byzantine whimsy.
Hilarious
Like listening to Dennis Miller during his stint on ABC's MNF but much drier.
Aristotle and Comiskey
That was magnificent.
Classic.
I thought that was Mike Schmidt for years.
😢The actor who plays Mike Schmidt really looks like him. I thought it was the real Mike Schmidt when I first saw the sketch.
Pretty sure that’s Corbin Bernsen of LA Law as Schmidt
@@ElBrooklyn1 Yes, it is.
Oh, come on!!!
I always thought it WAS Mike and that he’d worked really hard on it, ‘cause he’s good and doesn’t mess up….
There goes another childhood illusion of grandeur
@@ElBrooklyn1 Yes. Bernsen was the guest host of that episode. It featured an "LA Law" spoof, too. Bernsen is being sued by a neighbor for a zoning violation from some remodeling on his house. So he represented himself, based on his "LA Law" experience, assisted by several other TV lawyers, like his co-star Susan Dey (Jan Hooks), Perry Mason (Jon Lovitz) and Matlock (Phil Hartman). It was pretty good.
I didn't realize that George Will was a gifted player.
As a philosophy nerd and sports fan I talk like this.
I thought it was Mike Schmidt, too!.. I was like: "Why in HELL would he have agreed to do this?"..
PFT sent me
Same
He kind of sounds like Dennis Miller
This is great, and they capture Will a good bit, but Will is not a baseball romantic. He said that Men at Work was the anti-Field of Dreams book. It was about the hard work of baseball. The long-winded romantic quotes they use in this sketch were lifted from Bart Giamanti writings, I think.
Hi, George.
For one hundred dollars, is @brewer921 comment piffle, or not piffle?
Um...piffle?
Hey! What's with this piffle crap?
Throw the ball!
Mmm… Choco-Whip Fuckin’ Fluffy LOL 😂😂😂
Lovitz? Dana? Yes
This is exactly how gamers, desperate to present their choice of hobby as something more than mere entertainment, talk about video games now.
No doubt, that is a man who has had many swirlies from many jocks in his lifetime. 😆
RIH Tommy Lasorda.
Classic skit .:. Ofc Will throws like Fauci 😂😂😂
(crickets)
George F. Will is boring as hell.
You wonder why most intelligent people stopped watching SNL 30 years ago.
God you dudes are the worst. I bet you aren’t nearly as smart as you think you are
@@jujuonthatqueef5043 What kind of racist statement is that? Who are "you dudes"?
@@alg11297 the dudes who think they’re too smart and that snl isn’t funny anymore. You guys sound like literal idiots
@@alg11297 how is that racist lmao
@@Al-eh7zt Apparently, everything is racist. Lol....it's so stupid, fake online outrage.
