- comedyhype.com/ - In 1994, Martin Lawrence would land his first hosting gig on 'Saturday Night Live' but the moment will be his last on the series because of a raunchy opening monologue. Instagram: @ComedyHype & Twitter: @ComedyHype_ Beat by Yondo Co-written by @mr.dominicsmith & Jon Williams.
Bro don't mention Kevin Hart in the same breath as Martin. Kevin doesn't compare.
Kevin is not funny at all
Martin is on a whole different level
Exactly💯
He only compared the work ethic...Kevin is a work horse of u don’t agree u just hating
He only said Kevin Hart and Martin Lawrence had the same work ethic he never compare them... black people are always comparing everything SMH everything is not a comparison
@@chieft798 Either way, Kevin still isn't on Martin's level. And Kevin isn't funny anyway😒
"Are you still banned from SNL"
"I don't give a damnnnn" 😂😂😂😂😂
nymsaj😘 quote of the decade! 🤣🤣🤣
Soon as I saw this video title I said “I don’t give a damn” 🤣🤣🤣
Classic 😭😂😂
sccall1024 on god I did the same shit
nymsaj😘 😂🤣🤣
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
Russonda Holley wow that's dope.
Facts!
That's true
Facts
I Love MARTIN!!
That terrible narration of Martin’s monologue still made me laugh.
I thought the same thing, trying way to hard with the accent.
Thx saved me from writing that
Lol, but it made it funny because it didn't sound like him at all!
the croissant part definitely had me laughin
LMAO but can I give you my IG so you can HMU?
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
Actually, he's quite the opposite. He's terrible.
@@burns1210 lol what? Nah..please explain. Dude literally had the highest rated comedy show in the 90's and made a handful of great movies over the years.
@@FreshPrincex4, he was in Friends?
@@johnnymcfake he had one of the highest rated shows during the time..dude's show was Carrying Fox throughout the early to mid/late 90's
Friends is just in a league of it's own
@Enrico McClendon don't include me in that group. He peaked with van down by the river. The rest was just lousy fat jokes.
Martin Lawrence didn’t need SNL they needed him. He was already an established comedian.
@Tp L that show was the highest rated n watched in snl history.
Martin was fantastic!

romaleshawn Exactly. They hate Black Men who have backbone.
Wait wait wait. Is this the same SNL that did. “Dick in a box”
right...
That very one....
This was the 90s.. a lot of stuff gets passed on tv now a days
Sure is
Wipipo is ok...
Boomerang was heavy underrated
Yup
It was kinda weird
Still my favorite. John Witherspoon's, "We ate that pig from the rooter to the tooter." is the best line ever.
All Eddie Murphy's movies are. Including Harlem nights
Very heavy, I loved this movie
When Tom Dubois from Boondocks reads a Martin Script
Leo Lion 😂😂😂
Okay!?!!! Lol
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Great comparison.
Cynthia H he took all of the edge off Martin.
Martin is bigger than any show on NBC! Thank you Martin for being you!
Hes a drop in the ocean compared to SNL
"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!
This nigga’s enunciation & Martin’s dialogue is like oil & water
😂😂
🤣🤣🤣
@Theme Fresh nah hes a brotha. I seen him before lol
Lol yea could have just straight read it with no emulation.
Omgeee 🤣🤣🤣
Wish we got the actual clip of the monologue
Yeah, kinda cringeworthy how he did it.
I tried posting it years ago.....but of course the copyright police got me.
@@hustleman85 wait, so the original audio is out there some where?! I thought it was lost forever.
It's on Saturday Night Live's page via NBC. The part where he went into feminine hygiene was replaced by a graphic by one of the writers of _SNL_ stating that it was a frank and lively monologue, and it cost everyone their jobs. He actually parodied the incident on _Martin_ in the cold open of an episode where he could not get work, as he even try to find work at NBC, joking "it's like I've been banned." followed by "they can kiss my ass."

The actual (unedited) transcript: snltranscripts.jt.org/93/93nmono.phtml
Honestly with the way the current SNL is now, he's ban was a blessing for him.
This guy reading Martin's monologue is a hell no
All you can say is he read it well. Lol
he did it 4 context
not tryna audition..lol
@@thegrandcanyonisegypt2489 Yeah but he read it with the intonation as if he was on stage. He should have just read it.

😩😩😩😩
Martin: women need to wash themselves
NBC: we don’t agree with Martins views
Lmfao wtf
My thoughts as well lol
🤣🤣🤣🤣😭😭😭😭
Except thats not how he said it.
Lmao
Their explaining was worse than the joke..jive turkeys🙄
He still thought he was hosting Def comedy Jam i could only imagine the crowd face when he said wash your ass dooooouche lol
That kind of raunchiness isn't done on the Saturday Night Live stage. if he had any sense he would have looked back on shows of people who did it before him to look and see the level of edginess that was acceptable. Martin has always been a dumbass he was never very funny to me either
😂😂😂😂
@@leeroberts4850 Facts.
And if they had looked back at his work they would have known what to expect. Thats like asking too short to throw your husband a bachelor party and wonder why hes now thinkin twice about marryin u
monica webster they literally made dick in a box & jizzed in my pants.....
I bet when Martin said it, it was funny 🤷🏾♀️
😂😂😂
Nikki SoVain him reading this was 🗑
@@darkcocoakiss He definitely ruined it
I'm reading the transcript and the audience laughed at it. SNL is notorious for banning guests for not following their rules. Martin was told not to tell those jokes and did it anyway.
Why TF is he reading it. Stop corny guy🤦🤷😠😡
Talkin Dirty after Dark was his first starring role by himself

Facts I think 91
Yeah...him reading martins monologue was worst than nails on the chalkboard
facts like why not just put the real clip on there
@@joshprice7527 im guessing copyright
@@joshprice7527 The only clip I've ever seen from that episode involves the NBC response. I don't think I've ever seen the uncensored rant online, just a transcript.

Bruh I was like damn never heard that before
The pajama jammy jam is the name of the actual house party in the movie
Yeah but, where im from we always just say house party 2🤷🏾♂️
Right like wtf??😂😂
The cold part is he did this bit in "You So Crazy" and the crowd roared
Squ...skwaaaaash...lol
FAKTZ
You’re right. The crowd was largely black, though. We don’t wince at subject matter like this.
@@fedoramcclaren4294 "don't bring the shit to the clit!!!!" 🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣
@@HelloMsSongbird true Sis. That's why although I have mixed feelings about the term: "Black-Famous", instances like this give it more credibility. Everything is not for everybody and the folks @ SNL were mos def not ready for that but I LMAO🤷🏾♀️
Redd Foxx said the same thing. Wash yo azz!!!!😂
Sure did
I still have the 8 track to that and I used to say that a lot. "You gotsta wash yo ass" Wow Martin beat me to it
That monologue was funny asf ! Wtf wrong with people 🤦🏽♀️ guess all the stinkies were upset 🤣🤣🤣
I saw nothing rogue but what do they say an empty wagon will squeak
Lol, right!
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣👍
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.
Martin was on" what's happening now " TV show. Y'all never mention that.
Thanks, I went strait to the comments to get this 1987 fact
I remember seeing him on there acting proper 😄😅😋
Yes, he played Maurice, & that was his first real exposure. So sad how it constantly gets overlooked.
Sure was 🤣
The great thing is Martin never forgot cause he had mostly all the main characters make an appearance on his show Roger was the African prince, Shirley was Mr. Claus wife and Rerun was himself. I love that he always showed hommage to those before him!
Martin lawrence is tupac in comedy form
Nah Dave Chappelle is, and I only say that cause people do refer to him as the greatest, even though I disagree
@@Foxxsilver101 ur wrong...dave chapelle is snoop dogg in comedy form
I agree brother✊💯
I don’t know how you came up with Martin is the Tupac of comedy, it just doesn’t make sense
@@kareemhailey9585 he just reminded people of pac cuz of what he did for comedy the same way for what pac did for rap
You butchering this was more offensive than the joke 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Wow I thought so too! 😂😂
😂😂😂
Right! This also taught me that delivery is a major part of telling a good joke.
I'm sorry but he's butchering it.. every time EVERY TIME. BLACK PEOPLE. TRY TO HAVE A GOOD TIIIME
They banned a legend then came back begging for forgiveness.
I don’t see Martin returning to SNL. His response says is all, and I wouldn’t blame him if he doesn’t.
If you’re reading this, you’re awesome. Keep pushing!
Joshua Otusanya ☺️
First off thank you also lol this is the third video I’ve came across one of your comments!
Boy I needed that I was struggling at work today.
Appreciate YOU 2!!!
likewise
Martin never sold out and so I'm proud of him for that!
But he put on a damn dress!!!😑
The man habitually put on a dress, that was his decline
@@FreddieBlaze Facts
What does "sold out" even mean these days. Sound like "keeping it real".
Sorry but he sold out a long time ago. Still the 🐐 though
"Anybody got any butter?"
OMG I'm dead 😂
But for the record, do not douche!!!
Lol 💯
Why just curious?

Sour dough yeast infection lol 😂😂😂
@@Ms_T_Perfectly_Imperfect my ex was a prostitute and she stunk.no matter how long she bathed or douched she had this kinda sour sweat smell so Martin's set while too raw was accurate
That’s just how Martin was back in the day. He was and still is a comedic genius
"Talking Dirty After Dark" was a good Martin Lawrence movie too.
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
Fuck SNL! They swear they are the shit.
Facts ssss
Keenan Thompson is pretty consistent. Everyone else either rides on the coattails of the guest (especially if they’re a comedian like Eddie Murphy). The most dryest, “unfunniest” cast members are assigned to “Weekend Update” 👎🏾. That skit hasn’t truly been good ever since Norm MacDonald left in the late 90’s.
TETCOM Facts.
When we gon get one last Eddie and Martin movie
Another
LIFE WAS A PERFECT MOVIE, I REALLY WISHED MARTIN WAS IN 'MY NAME IS DOLEMITE'
Go CPNG
yeah ANOTHER
@@tdilla4606 Right?? They had every body else. But if they work together again they probably want to as two lead roles.
Eddie Griffin and Martin in a movie would be dope!
Boomerang wasn't underrated. It's a classic!
Facts
They don’t know, his line about the pool table is the earth and the white ball knocks off all the balls.....isis papers
It more a cult classic white people wasn't on that back then and that player stuff wasn't popular in the mainstream.They thought it was some trash womanizing movie and dismissed it despite it being funny
That really was Eddie’s Murphy peeve about women. It was part of Charlie Murphy monologue
SNL is overrated and corny. I can't stand that show.
Mad TV was better
SSG Squidward Facts.
The Era when Will Ferrel was a cast member was the last time SNL had a chance of being an actual comedy show top to bottom outside of the rare guest appearance by Dave Chappelle, Dwayne Johnson and Justin Timberlake.
@@pastoryoda2789 the first era of mad tv was funny the 2nd iteration of it sucked ass when it was on the wb
Really, Eddie Murphy, Dave chapel, kenan just Reunioned on that show week ago, and now Eddie is back to hosting, but nobody watches if you say so, honestly Martin is not funny, only on Martin the TV show that's it, heck Kat is ok, to me the only funny comedians are DC, Lavelle, etc and Kevin
He deserved to be brought back for Eddie’s recent monologue. SNL and NBC have forgiven far more offensive behavior.
True ...
The almighty stank vagina must rule! Cue brainbug from Starship Troopers
Hey, he encountered some funky fish and was spreading the message.
LOL, HAHAHAHA OMG
It could be called... funky wisdom.
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
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.
Sellouts are not good men
Martin was the dude in the '90s. His best stand-up was One night only. He killed it 👏🏿
He needs to do the “ white Bob character “ and he will be back on SNL
I would die 🤣🤣🤣
Lmfaoooo me to @jb
"I'm Outa Control, Gina's Outa Control, This Whole Party's Outa Control!!!..."
That’ll make a good return for the SNL show
@420 Everyday can’t forget the boots and pizza 🍕
Nobody ever talk about his star search performance🤷🏽♀️
Nay Dorsey or the fact he was in the tv show What Happening Now!
OMG RIGHT
Coiffio the Evil Controller of Cats aw man you took it back 😂
Why his voice over sounded like Micheal rapaport in higher learning
lol--- You are so right
I love the Martin commentary voice over with the fake cheers. Took me TF out 😂😂😂
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!!
Martin doesn't need SNL or NBC. He's fine without them.
He is now. He was on the rise back then. Big difference
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!!!!
David Richardson What did Richard Pryor do?
@@Wowitzkay He accidentally blurted out "fuck" or "shit", during his monologue (co-written with Paul Mooney) and similar to his guest hosting stint on the season 4 finale of _Soul Train_ (the only time _ST_ had a guest host while still in the DC years), executives were nervous about his style of comedy. He also pulled a similar stunt when he was a recurring guest star (and writer) on _The Flip Wilson Show_ and Flip was trying to tell Richard to tone it down for network television, Richard pulled out his man piece and said "everyone can suck my dick." 💀💀💀💀💀
That shit had laughing even with the white boy reading it ML is the🐐
Vincent Harris get the fuck out of here with grouping all of “us” together. No doubt, there are some tight-assed white people out there, but odds are they were mostly liberal women. I found that funny AF! Damn near choked on the tic-tac line.
@Vincent Harris The man was funny, but some blacks didn’t care for his type of humor.
It sounds like he did it on purpose 😂😂💀 as if he didn’t give af about a ban or not lmaooo thats Marty Mar!! 🤷🏾♂️
Jarrel Ely he was never a star . Only black stars get to host . DL was never a star he wasn’t even the funniest on kings of comedy .
YO!! YO!!YO!! YOOOOOO!!! NEVER & I MEAN NEVER!!!! COMPARE K.H TO M.L!!! EVER!!!!!
BOBBY NORRIS. 2 facts big bro
He was comparing the two hustles so people who wasn't around back then can get an idea of his work ethic
Right . That's like comparing Michael Jordan to Mike Jones "WHO?" , you'll lose everytime.
You gotta relax
BOBBY NORRIS, I agree 100%!! Kevin Hart wishes he could be in the same league, as Martin!!
Martin ripped off Redd Foxx's bit, "you gotta wash yo ass.," old skool 70s routine.
Pretty Much....!
His style is like Richard and Redd Foxx. Edgy, sensitive hardcore jokes. It didn’t work for him
“Anybody got any butter , I like jelly on mine !” 😂😂
Nick Jagger that’s what she said
He said he was banned from NBC on the breakfast club yesterday.
It’s not like he was lying. There’s women til this day who needs to hear his monologue.
Big facts half the bitches at my job need to take this advice
J B, Half of the Bitches at your job are probably “Men”!!!😂😂😂
Gatt damn. Martin was the MAN . Imagine if internet was out in 92. Damn
His jokes wasn’t even offensive. Many of have these conversations all the time
This is my new favorite CZcams channel. It's really informative.
Man I kno u didn’t say Martin is like Kevin hart -Kevin wishes he was Martin -nah bruh
That's actually a bit from his stand up. This looks like a good place for a stick up....
Yep, that was on his 1st comedy cassette, Talkin' Shit...and he did them jokes in the You So Crazy movie...
Lol...
I wanna actually see the video of him on SNL. Not some Random narrator trying to sound like Martin Lawrence
There was a video of it online somewhere. But it's probably taken down by now
Martin is one of my fav shows. I love his acting. So natural and real.
An example of when keeping it real goes wrong.
I didn’t know he was banned from NBC and he hosted SNL?
NBC studios.
Kayshawn Simmons
Gotcha❗️👍🏽 I just made the correction.😁
I didnt eva kno ..lol
Kenny MacHuh
Right?🤔
Boomerang wasn't underrated.
Right! That’s my favorite Eddie movie, behind Coming to America
I would consider it to be. A star-studded Eddie Murphy film that didn't get the proper recognition it deserved.
Definitely Not, but this guy is a Fake ass Jew and miss the real standard of our culture
I was lookin for this comment
@@aovers where were U at the time? Cause Boomerang was all I heard about at the time
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.
I don't know where all this Kevin hart not funny hate coming from but he was funny as fuck to me and I have a great sense of humor just like Eddie is funny martin chris tucker etc the only person I'll say is not funny is chris rock
I don't find Hart remotely funny or talented.
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 🤧
He was probably talking about a member of the cast or an exec. 😂
Yes I love him. He is a big part of the culture.
I'm 2 minutes in and annoyed that he just saying words at this point
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 said he was banned from nbc
Man screw SNL lol it's not really for us anyway it's like the oscars.
Us? That ain't shit for nobody!
@@ghoulinthegraveyard399 It's for Esau.
The oscars suck anyway.
MARTIN FAN 4 LIFE ... KEEP YOUR HEAD UP MY BROTHER ... ✌❤🙏
All those jokes were from "You So Crazy"
And he was banned from NBC and SNL
Omar Scruggs that’s what I’m saying
Martin, Chris Rock, and Chris Tucker had the 90s on lock.
Chris rock wasn't that funny I'll say martin and tucker had it on lock
Who idea was it to put a young Martin Lawrence on SNL 🤦
He was the hottest comedian out at the time. How can you not book him?
@@KtotheG he was very raw & uncensored. Martin wasn't made for a white audience on live prime time TV. Def Comedy Jam & Saturday Night Live is 2 different audiences.
@BM32 it was like when they put Dave Chappelle on SNL, It wasn't funny to that audience. Some white people look at black comedy as Bafoonery.
Akbar The Gangsta Prince A younger Eddie Murphy was THE STAR of SNL
@@jonmatrix3153 white people loved Eddie & Richard Pryor. Martin Lawrence was to hood for the SNL crowd. Eddie & Richard was considered obseen but not Hood like Martin.
I remember that monologue...I knew he was gonna be in trouble 😅😅😅
At least he was able to get the audio of Martin's monologue
Come on he never needed SNL
Definitely Martin Lawrence was the man in the 90s
I LOVE how every black comedian that were considered to be 'too much' for SNL went off to have successful careers.
Martin had everybody doing that "Read The Hand"! TODAY it's the "Neh-Neh" dance! That "Jerome" STILL cracks me up - a GENIUS
I don't give a damn in my Martin voice 😂😂😂😂
I don’t like this guys voice I want the other guy
Exactly
yes i really hate the direction this channel has turned. I missed the old vibe of this channel. They should of left it the way it was
Lol everyone kept telling the other guy to drink a red bull!! I liked the deeper voice guy but people kept complaining!!
@@BlackGoldSoul I agree. I see me unsubscribing very soon if they don't get it together.
Woow for some reason i thought you said I don't like Martin's voice
Why narrate the monologue instead of just playing it?
Copyright I guess
*Eastside Low Bottoms shit !*
I was on CZcams 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 !
@Perverted Alchemist
*Eastside Low Bottoms shit !*
That sounds about right...
I was surprised to see THAT one. It just came up in my feed snd i was like 'CLICKETY- CLICK !'

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
Wow, I remember that monologue from "You So Crazy", I had no idea he did that on SNL. That was way too hot for TV, he probably did that on purpose to see if he could get away with it. Fucked up him gettin' banned, but that wasn't for tv.
Being edgy was a big part of Martin's brand back then so NBC should've known he was gonna do what he was known to do.
I see you using the seo bb! much respect to the hustle, that breakfast club interview had a lot of info we never got the answers to from Martin!
Martin shows are old as dirt but still funnier than any other comedy sitcom as of TODAY, you go boi!!!
HERES THE UNCUT VERSION : streamable.com/atgms
I didn't hear any wrong with what he said I heard worse on SNL
6:59 when did nbc send ML an apology letter for banning him?
Yeah, like an apology 20 something years after the fact is gonna make a difference. And it would be people on the east coast to do the complaining
Wtf does coasts have to do with anything?
