“And the slaves sir, what of them?”
“You asked about the temperature.”
“I did not.” 😂😂😂
That got me too...lmbo
:D
😂 💀 that killed me
Keenan's face!!!
the best part
This is the best SNL skit in a long time.
"And what about the slaves, sir?"
"You asked about the temperature."
"I did not."
Where would SNL be without Keenan Thompson, he is absolutely brilliant!!
Kenan’s delivery is a cheat code
@@IM1deadMONEY Seriously. He's up there with Phil Hartman as the utility player everyone needs to make their sketches better.
That killed me. Kenan was trying so hard not to break character. He's got that grin that gets me every time. It was one of those funny but realistic dialogs between races. But that's a subject for another time.........
Bwahhhhhhhh
“There’s a little kicking” is the funniest line of the season.
I watch this weekly for that line
Watched this a bunch and i don't get why that line gets such a laugh. There is not much kicking in football. Does that have an extra meaning for New Yorkers? It just doesn't strike me as funny as the rest of the skit.
@@evilhobbes (GREAT name, btw...I think Hobbes was just misunderstood...lol) That IS the point....there is NOT much kicking in a sport called "FOOTball"! The whole sketch is about the absurdities of words/names, and the differences therein...even when BOTH are "English" (And our desire to be SO different from our Euro fathers...even when it's ABSURD!!)
He says the game is called "FOOTball"...a name which they've NEVER yet heard...but logically assume to be a game where you KICK a ball. But then he describes it as "a game where you throw the ball with your hands.? But it's called FOOTball?? Absurd. (Truly...I say that as someone who doesn't like football and has always asked that question...) This description sets up the rest of the joke brilliantly:
Then the obvious next question..."So...in FOOTBall...there is NO kicking?" (That makes no sense...does it? Because that would be absurd...right?)
And finally the reply - "There's a little kicking..." (And what a BRILLIANT read on this line, as perhaps only Bargatze could give...which leads me to believe this sketch was written only this week FOR NATE, - Sometimes old, un-used sketches are recycled for a different host...but this seems to be TAILOR-MADE for Bargatze's style and tone...he's perfect!!)
Because in the sport that ALL of America adores...which is a brutal game where men battle each other, and march down the field to invade the opponent's endzone (Thank you, George Carlin...on THE FIRST "SNL" almost 50 years ago)...in that war-like sport of pushing and shoving....if you CAN'T make it into the endzone...you can just kick the ball between some sticks and that will get you points. I've always thought that was silly. What if instead of making it to home plate to score, we just let Derek Jeter see if he can toss a ball into a bucket from...oh....let's say 20 yards away...
@@evilhobbes because it's called "football" but it's a game that's mostly throwing and running, and when he says "kicking" it doesn't make sense, especially when he says that there are 2 different ways to get points (1 for an extra point and 3 for a field goal)
@@evilhobbes It's funny for the reason the rest of the skit is funny. It's an answer the audience knows already, the answer doesn't at all address the absurdity of what he's proposing, but he says it so deadpan and confidently like it settles the matter.
“5,280, of course. It’s a simple number that everyone will remember.”
Nobody remembers it is 1760 yards to a mile... ok I vaguely remember it but I wasn't sure so I had to verify by dividing 5280 by 3. I am free to divide by 3!!!
A statute mile...nautical mile is longer..😊❤
@@danielgregory3295 how may chains is that
everyone does remember lol
This is low key one of the most “out-of-nowhere” best sketches out of SNL in awhile. 😂😊
Those are the best kind.
I love your guys' Gen Z slang 😂
"Frfr ong low key okuuurrr, yeet!"
It's one of those skits where the writers were probably like, "why didn't anyone think of this 30 years ago??"
@@Dan-cj9yg as the OP would say, "bet"
nate wrote it. snl isn’t funny anymore
Nate’s dry delivery is perfect 😂
"You asked about the temperature"
@@mc9723 “I did not.” 🤣😂🤣😂🤣
5280 of course! A simple number everyone remember 😂

“…..I did not”
🤣😂🤣😂
😂😂🤣🤣🤣
5280
@@Regs-sk4rwspell that for me?
The way Nate just ignores Kenan's questions with a little pause and a contemplating stare is just genius...
He did that because he didn’t know the lines and has no acting ability so it was very uncomfortable, but yes it was really funny.
@@realityislost7052 did he say that was the reason in an interview somewhere?
You're missing the true genius, Kenan asks "How many feet to a mile" and Nate answers him correctly, meaning he DID hear and understand all of Kenan's questions
@realityislost7052 They have cue cards at all time, he wasn't forgetting his line. He was pausing because people were still laughing.
Nate’s comedic timing in this skit was impeccable.
Nate's ability to not break character or a smile is super amazing.
didn't know about this guy just that he's a proper comedian. Goes to show how good SNL can be. No disrespect to other hosts but damn it's good when they get a pro on
the fact that he's a comedian and not an actor is why it impresses me. I didn't expect him to be able to do it so well.
I’ve never even seen him laugh lol
@@aaronsinger blame fallon and sanz
comedians are good at delivering punchlines
"There's a little kicking." May be the most well delivered line in SNL history.
Agree - best delivery in the skit. Not sure how Nate doesn't break. Good thing Fallon wasn't hosting.
Or the “you asked about the temperature”
LOL!! Yes!@@sydgrim
We were dying lol 😂
Sometimes 1 and sometimes 3 😅
Nate not breaking during or after "you asked about the temperature..." dude is a killer.
I would’ve lost it after “there’s a little kicking”
Jimmy Fallon would've ruined it
@@tonyhall3365😂
Is a killer... As seen in "A Stab at Love"
💯💯💯💯@@tonyhall3365
“There’s a little kicking…” makes me laugh so hard every time I hear it. His delivery is perfection.
It really is. So many different ways that line could be delivered. Nate’s is by far the funniest way possible
“Sometimes one and sometimes three”…. That cracked me up!
This is probably the best explanation I've heard for our system.
The moments of honesty like "Impossible" and "Nobody knows" were accurate. 😂
We were correct to drop all those illogical and unnecessary “u”s from words.
@@nickfury6434 Except for glamour!!! :D
@@nickfury6434 That was Webster. He wanted to simplify the language. Didn't completely work, but its better.
Surprisingly interesting book called "Whatever Happened to the Metric System?" that goes into the history of how and why each system was adopted.
@misterdarwin or, watch this sketch and it perfectly explains anything you may ever need to know.
I think Nate was heavily influential in this week's sketches. This was the best SNL I've watched in years. His timing and delivery are perfection. Brilliant comedian.
yes!
He has to be, because I have not watched in so long due to the stupidity of previoius SNL's. This one was by far one of the funniest!
They need to hire him as a writer. This episode blew the last two out of the water. I haven't seen SNL this good since the Tina Fey days!!!
@@bloodbentvessels3254 they couldn't pay him enough.
I agree. Last night's SNL was one of the better ones in recent memory along with Pedro Pascals guest hosting.
This skit will stand the test of time as one of the best in snls' history
Agreed, mikev! I've been there since 1975, and this whole EP might easily make my top 10 or 15....arguably the best in MANY, MANY years. The B2B2B2B quartet of Chef Showdown, Stab at Love, LAKE BEACH, and Washington is one of the strongest sequences EVER in SNL history...they just got funnier as they went on ... "Airplane" later in the show was pretty solid too....Nate put himself on the all-time SNL great hosts list...
Yes
As long as this great nation stands we will know what they fought for. Freedom, Liberty, Units of measurement, and sometimes kicking. 😂
Agreed! There are so many people trying to revise history and pointing out that famous people were actually real human beings with period-thinking and that is something awful rather than revealing of the true (and slow) maturation of the country. Stuff like this can be funny and insightful and uneasy. No need to pretend our "heroes" weren't actually human beings.
It’s not a skit, it’s a sketch. Learn the difference.
I've watched this sketch 30 times at least. I still laugh out loud at every "Nobody knows."
You and me both!
@@gomist2018and me!😂
And, "There's a little kicking." 😂
Dear SNL, whoever wrote this sketch, PLEASE let them write many many MANY more!
Yeah, except maybe on the next ones, they write something where the premise isn't dumb as fuck. The measurements we use are the BRITISH IMPERIAL SYSTEM. According to the premise of the sketch, Washington was fighting for independence so he could keep using the same system they'd been using for over 100 years ...
It really seems based off a bit that Nate Bargatze would do in his stand up.
Streeter Seidell & Auguste White wrote this skit.
@@calebdecoteau1shocked but happy. I honestly believe Nate gave them the premise. It’s too funny to organically come out of current SNL writers. If it did though, I’m super jazzed.
@@Reality_CStreeter said they’ve been sitting on this for a while, stop simping for Nate
"there's a little kicking" made me genuinely laugh out loud
"Sometimes 1, sometimes 3" lol!
I was crying laughing through this entire sketch!
I laughed so loud there and it’s an underwhelming joke on paper! Just the way Nate said it and the set up, I howled 😂😂
@@GDRaptorFan13 that's his talent :) glad the world got to see it
I haven't really thought much about it until this skit, but I bet football is confusing to somebody that is new to the sport. lots of strange rules if you stop and think about it.
4:14 "......only GLAMOUR!" hahahahhahaha. Brilliant. Knee grab completes it.
Chef's Kiss! 🤌🏾💋
That's my favorite part too!
But Americans spell it “glamor.” Only the magazine is “glamour” - even the Fergie song is G-L-A-M-O-R-O-U-S.
@@originalcyn I'm from the US - it's spelled glamour here. Glamorous in both countries.
One of the cleverest sketches I've seen on SNL in a long time. Kudos to the writers.
Mikey Day was the main writer.
The way Nate Bargatze changes from dramatic tone to flat tone is genius.
@@repentandbelieveinJesusChrist1 Cool story bro.
He really does have one of the best cadences for comedy
There's a little kicking.
Nobody knows how tho

OK this was a solid sketch. More of this, please, SNL.
Solidly written. Not solidly performed.
Neither@@johnjones3813
@johnjones3813 you're right the performance lacked but still was funny
@@johnjones3813 I was impressed with how Nate Bargatze kept a straight face throughout the sketch, and did NOT look like he was glued to cue cards. I think it was very well performed, by SNL standards.
Ted Kennedy driving off the bridge at Chappaquiddick was funnier than this skit, what a huge heaping pile of excrement 💩
This is such a perfect Nate Bargatze skit. Right in his wheelhouse. So well written and performed!
wheel well
@@evanfinch4987 Nice.
I was thinking he must have helped write it.
I had never heard of Nate before I saw this skit. Just absolute brilliance in the writing and delivery. Keenan knocked it out of the park too.
He has specials on Netflix and Prime. I love his humor
@@jakemorrison548 I watched his prime special after seeing this skit. Funny dude.
The skipping of Kenan’s questions has me on floor crying. 😂😂😂
Feels like a missed opportunity to bring up 3/5th.
You asked about temperature.
@@B0eing787Ooh…the fraction…you are so right!
You're easily amused.
with laughter? 'cause, ya know... a whole bunch of emotions would seem to fit here. if ya know what I mean? but yes lol it really makes the whole sketch better. LOL
I’ve watched this 3 times. This is one of the best sketches I’ve seen in a long time. Nate Bargatze killed it! “You asked about the temperature.” Hahahahaha
Try 10 times for me... fucking genius sketch.
Try 20, 5280.. of course
“Nobody knows.”
“I did not”
I sent to my friend who's immigrating. I said this explains how we measure here 😂
Kennan always plays off of whoever is hosting so perfectly. His comedy style fits every situation
yes,this. Kenan is one of the best comedians ever on SNL, every sketch he's in comes up because of him.
he's one of the greatest 'glue' players of all time
@@TJMoolTricia Agree to disagree. Mostly disagree. LOL
@@ToddChaddingtonEsq Oooh.....scotch tape, maybe. Please don't insult the great Phil Hartman...
Do you mean KENAN? SP...
Absolutely an instant classic for SNL that will hold forever. Nate was brilliant for first time on tv
can you imagine the writers watching this, knowing what's coming... how the hel did they keep straight faces, and how could we not hear the writing staff crying laughing in the background as nate and the guys delivered these lines so perfectly. Highlight reel with Nate will be on constant repeat forever, he's cemented his place in SNL history with this one. If i'd written this i'd have shit myself watching it.
This was absolutely brilliant!! Perfectly written and performed, and Keenan's facial expressions were the icing on the cake! 😂😂😂
Keenan is a national treasure
Keenan's facial expressions have been the best thing about SNL for quite a while now.
Keenan is GOAT. Is he the longest running cast member on snl yet? And one of the only child actors who seems like he made it out with all his marbles and dignity into a fully realized and well adjusted national treasure of an actor/comedian. Long live Keenan
surprised they didn't mention "ounce" is both (insanely) maybe volume OR maybe weight
@@khaightlynn5295Yes, he’s been the longest running for a few years now. I think he’ll see the show out if it ends during the 50th season (that’s the rumor). I have been watching him since my girls watched Keenan and Kel when they were little. He’s always been hilarious. Love him!
I’m not lying when I say I have watched this sketch about 10 times and laughed just as hard every time.
Right 😂
Me, as well!
It’s a perfect sketch.
There’s not a wasted , unnecessary word. Pauses and turn of direction is good too. Darn, this one is good. I watched at least 20 times now 😂
This was like the first time I've laughed at SNL in like at least a decade
As a former competitive swimmer, I loved the line (and the disainful look on his face when he said), "But only in certain unpopular sports like track and swimming."
Nate Bargatze's delivery is so good. Glad to see him getting good gigs.
Nate's timing here is so hilarious. His pausing and dead pan delivery is so good. You can tell he is reading the cards at times, but his timing and pacing of it is brilliant. His eyes are so serious too. The way he says 'there is a little kicking' it is just perfect, and his shoulder pat at the end is absolutely hilarious.
Nate has the most expression-less eyes I've ever seen. lol. Same in his standup.
It’s so brilliant!
Wait, so this was not pre-recorded but acted on the stage?

Literally the best sketch in over 10 years
The best sketch SNL has aired in years. Laughing so hard I had tears running down my face. Nate almost broke Kenan, which is nearly impossible.
When? I've watched it twice and can't spot it.
Kenan breaks all the time

One of the best SNL skits I've seen recently - impeccable timing by Nate and Keenan's part was icing on the cake. Well done!!
I can envision them starring in a sitcom together. They play off each other well.
Not to mention the stirring music in the background.
You must not be very old, because it was mildly amusing at best, and not even in the same league as some of the best skits in SNL history.
@@tinyrogerts6449Boomer alert 🚨
That’s because it was clean comedy which is still the funniest!
At 63, I recall HS in the 70’s where we were implored to learn the Metric system. “It’s gonna be here soon!”, all the teachers cried.
This sketch covered 50 years of cynicism, skepticism and sarcasm. And was funny. And also had a message. Nate is VERY FUNNY!
I'm 68, thomaskessler....do you remember the colored rods they used to compare centimeters, etc.???

“One will make sense to the entire world and one will be super random. Our great nation will use the random one.” 😂😂
His hand gesture during this phrase made it so much more funny and idk why 😂
F=1.8C+32. but the opposite calculation is a damn thing OTL
i wish he would have mentioned the actual F temps for freezign and boiling. it truly is random
@@retz119 I'm a very pro-metric American, but I do see the benefit of Fahrenheit. Its range of 0-100 incorporates probably 95% of the air temperatures we have on Earth. Plus with 180 degrees between freezing and boiling, it's more precise of a measurement than Celsius is.
@@CraigKostelecky1000%. People seem to lump Celsius in with meters and kilometers like it’s part of the same package, but it’s not. What makes the metric system is good is easy unit conversion, but no one has to convert millidegrees to kilodegrees. It’s a single, self-contained scale. And with Celsius you end up throwing away 60% of the scale and squishing everything we need temperature for down, so you end up needing fractions to set an air conditioner.
I’m also not sure why everyone thinks using the states of water is such an obvious thing to do. We don’t even reference the boiling point of water when we’re boiling water. You just set the burner to high.
As a European in the US… this had me *dying*. Twice! Nate’s delivery totally made this one.
"As a European...."

This sketch is so good. Nate’s monologue is also really good. Thank you SNL writers for this sketch!
This was all Nate. SNL writers aren't this good!
@@petes.7967 Doubtful. And you can't know that...since this information is rarely public. Probably a (perfect) combination of both. The writers came up with the idea and pitched it...probably wrote it....and then they, along with Nate, punched up the jokes...and made the style/tone/voice much more "Nate": A brilliant combination!
An instant classic!! This sketch was one of the best in the last few decades. Good to see Nate finally getting recognized for his comedic talent.
Literally one of the most accurate and funny skits in a long time. Dry, intelligent humor. I love it.
I showed this video to the science teacher at my school in the Bronx. She said that only the honors kids would get it, but I disagree. We have a lot of Dominican students who think in metric.
Accurate? The metric system didn't exist yet
@@gokartninja1 Accurate as in it does not make sense
It's very funny, but it isn't accurate. England did not adopt the metric system until almost 1970. Also, Gridiron football (American football), Rugby football (rugger) and Association football (assoccer/soccer) were all named football back in the day because they were played on foot rather than on horseback like polo.
@@Doug_Hannon You do know accurate can mean different things depending on the context don't you? You ate going way more deep than my comment. What's accurate to me is how ppl question the measurements. You obviously are coming from a different perspective.
I have no measure for how many times I have watched this.
If it were only so simple
You are man of Free 😂
Nobody knows 😂
2 yards?
Sometimes one, and sometimes three. 😂
It used to be "more cowbell." Now my fav SNL skit is "there's a little kicking." 😂
Right when Nate said " Where we choose our own weights and measures" you knew it was gonna go off the rails! Can't say how many times I've watched this one, so funny. His dead pan presentation is what makes this skit so good. And the way Kenans questions are never answered, priceless!
He has the face for a great dead pan delivery. Or it is a learned skill, I don't know but it works!
Keenan’s stare had me dying 😂
Really? Dying? Was it that great?
That's all he ever does
@@johnjones3813It may or may not be great, but it doesn't need to be great for someone to enjoy it.
Kenan achieved his childhood dreams. He is one of the greatest comedic actors of all-time. He can captivate and kill with a look, a pause, a phrase. Sometimes even less than that! Sometimes he can do literally *nothing* and somehow steal the scene. He is truly a master of his craft.
I miss the What's up with That skits... very funny and it demonstrated his overall talent .
LOVING how many people just got introduced to Nate!!!! He truly deserves it!!!👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

Not only was this the best sketch of the night, but it's by far one of the best SNL has put out in years.

I would pay good money just to be a fly on the wall with Nate Bargatze and Gary Gulman just randomly chatting. Between this sketch about measurements and Gary's standup bit about state abbreviations I can only imagine what hilarity would ensue.
Absolutely!!
The silent response at the end is like jazz, the notes that aren't played
“You asked about temperature.”
“I did not.”
I watched it 10 times, and my brain starts releasing dopamine in anticipation every time I'm getting closer to this bit again. The whole thing is a masterpiece.
This skit is an instant classic. I think people will be referencing it as one of the all time best SNL skits for years.
I already have forwarded to several teachers I know, to use in lesson plans for various subjects...English, Math, science and of course history. This skit touches on so many great "why do we.." questions that pop up in those classes.

Ive watched this like 20 times. 😂
Ditto!
He really is set apart as the cleverest comic of our time. His delivery and timing are flawless
I’ve watched the skit so many damned times. I wish there were more sketches with Keenan and Nate together. This sketch and “Chef Show” are masterful. They play off each other so well.
Just finished rewatching them both. Pure genius
I think Nate will get THE JACKET!❤
The funniest thing is there's an episode of Chopped with 3 black chefs & 1 white. They did NOT show the white Chef AT ALL .....till he won. So the Chef skit was especially funny to my bf & I.
Yes!
"Yes.... Im sorry..."
Nate delivery of " there's a little kicking" has me weak.
When I’m having a bad day I just think to myself “There’s a little kicking” and I laugh to myself.
The delivery and the timing are spotless.
Entire sketch is a laugh out loud riot, but "Where all men are free" followed by the no response shoulder rub is when I ABSOLUTELY LOST IT! 😂😆🤣
I love that, and when he grabs the guys leg on Glamour. Its those tidbits that sell it.
Soldier: How many liters are in a gallon, sir?
Washington: Nobody knows.
He really was our greatest president.
For anyone who is curious, 3.8 Liters is the same as 1 Gallon, or 1 Liter is 0.26 Gallons.
Thank you! Cuz, for the life of me, I figured it had to either be 3 liters or 4. Turns out- both wrong!! Yaayyyy America!!!
Look at Jesse showing off.
@@justmejenny7986: I used to work at a water heater plant in Central Texas & since we shipped industrial water heaters outside The U.S. they were always measured in Liters, so I had to memorize the conversion rate for Liters & Gallons.

this might be my favorite SNL skit of all time. The writing is so dang funny, and Nates timing and delivery just kill. So many little cherries in this one... Little kicking is just perfect. Nice work SNL. Nate, where the heck did you come from?
"You asked about the temperature" "I did not"
This sketch is so smart and brilliantly delivered. I’ve watched it a half a dozen times and have it downloaded for anytime I need a laugh. “There will be a little kicking.” 😂😂😂
Me too! It's the hand on the shoulder for me!!😂😂 I will listen to the sketch without even watching it and then I'll pick up my phone just to watch the part where he puts his hand on his shoulder and walks away.😂😂
Sometimes two and sometimes 5 or what is it 😂🤣
@@mv1362 it’s three and one. Two points is for a safety or a 2pt conversion.
Far and away the best episode this season, and maybe in years. Almost all the sketches were funny. Brilliant monologue. "Down on a lake beach" short was hilarious. I had never seen Nate before. Great, likable talent. "I use the word jump loosely."
LOL....Ummm....close. "There's a LITTLE kicking....". Shows you how truly the writing can be in comedy....just a little word difference here or there adds so much!!
The writing of this is pretty good, but the delivery is impeccable. I've watched this more than ten times since it aired. Bravo Nate Bargatze.
:) dude me too!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I saw him in Chicago the following week. It was priceless
My kids know this skit by the word.
Me too. I've returned to this video over and over. I had just discovered Nate a few months before he was on SNL. Best comedian I've seen in a good while.
DUDE, the writing in this is freaking SHAKESPEARE level; WHAT are you Smoking?
Easily one of the best skits on SNL ever!!!
This may be my favorite sketch ever. This is absolutely brilliant.
....I'd go with "in quite awhile."
This was great… (was an ex pat living in Denmark for a couple decades so have lived both sides of the coin… and MISS the metric system) already rewatched it multiple times… but a couple others I go back to repeatedly include the one with Scarlet Johansson and her talking trump loving dog 😅. Also Black Jeopardy with Tom Hanks.
“Ever”?? How old are ya, if I may ask?
It was okay, but not great
“Nobody knows”
"There's a little kicking" is way funnier than it deserves to be 😂😂😂😂😂😂
“Sometimes 1 and sometimes 3”….
One of the best lines 😂
This is probably the 40th time I've watched this. I die laughing every time. His timing is perfection.
Same!
I keep watching it too. Fantastic.
I’d never heard of Nate until y’all announced him as host this past week. I love this guy. Thanks for the introduction!
Same here! Never heard of him. He’s hilarious!
You will be busy watching videos! And, you won’t be disappointed!
same! now I'm obsessed!!
For a second I thought you said thanks for the indoctrination and honestly I'm cool with it
Netflix has 2 of Nate’s specials. Prime had another - enjoy getting to know Nate !!
This skit will be remembered not only for being hilarious but for being timeless - in the sense of unconnected to contemporary events and personalities. That's tough to do on a weekly schedule and have the confidence that the audience will "get it." I'm amazed SNL can still come up with a classic.
Nate immortalized himself on SNL with this one sketch alone. I'm sure he's gonna be welcome back whenever he wants.
That is one of the reasons that US students are always scoring lower in math. LoL..
No joke learning both systems is very hard to teach. Conversions.. oh my Especially since we educate everyone. Most countries don't . Another reason why our math scores are lower. Vs most other countries that after grade 8 , you can work if u don't make the cut.
@@I_WANT_MY_SLAW The one on the airplane (debating which is the second best job) was great too!
@iwantmyslaw3967 yes. He nailed this. Delivered the lines with perfection. That first "nobody knows" 😂
Gotta assume he wrote the sketch himself.
Just brilliant! Don’t know how many times I’ve rewatched this!
SAME!! 🤣
I watch this video once a month. it's so good.
Me too!!! lol! Watching this is like some kind of ritual that I'm drawn to occasionally, like a horse to the water.
"Two scales of temperature... our great nation will use the random one." So hysterically spot on.
“What’s it called?” “Fahrenheit.” “Can you spell it?” “Impossible.” 😂
This is comedy gold right here, like the old days. I wonder if Nate wrote this one.
It certainly sounds like something Nate would write
It was either him or another writer.
@@thejimbruce4004 Gotta be him or someone else
It was either him or not him
@@brockmeade4450 That's gotta be true
This is the smart level of writing I used to love at SNL, like back in the day with the Devil in People's Court. Great work to the writers and Nate made me laugh here.
Ahhhh...a relative old-timer like myself....I I LOVE Mephistopheles on the People's Court. Lovitz and Hooks at their absolute best!! "WORSHIP ME...WORSHI.....no..wait..I'm not done..." "I am a barfly...."
Love me some KENAN. With just a few words, a couple of looks, and perfect timing, he adds to any sketch.
Makes the best ones (which this was) even better.😂
This is one of SNL’s best sketches, ever.😂
I absolutely agree, I’m so glad i caught this because I really don’t think it’s that great anymore but this was literally the best sketch EVER
Are you mentally handicapped?
This was one of my favorite sketches in some time. I'd never heard of Nate until this episode, he nailed it. The deadpan delivery in this is perfect
Our son told us about him during Covid. His specials are great, all clean, too.
I wish I were you so I can watch him tell the Cape Fear Serpentarium - Wilmington, NC bit again for the first time...
His comedy is very very similar, i was glad to see he was still able to keep a straight face on snl, but he is very good at that in his standup
I had never heard of him either, and was skeptical, but he was an excellent host✨❤️ I thought of this sketch tonight at trivia when they asked how many meters were in a marathon 😆
I’m so glad so many people have discovered him from this, he’s genuinely so talented and a nice guy. I was lucky enough to meet him at a small club show in 2016.
I have seen this several times, more than I am comfortable admitting, and laugh every single time.
Born in England, raised in New Zealand, and living in America since 2016... This video is equally funny to Americans and non-Americans alike. So clever. Bravo!!
This HAD to be written by Nate Bargatze. It's absolutely his style of humor.
Ithink i saw there were three people that wrote it. Mikey Day is one and I don't remember the other two.
He said on the Spade/Carvey Fly on the Wall podcast that they wrote it for him, tho it’s certainly in his voice.
@@mleiblie0513 Mikey Day, Streeter Seidell and Auguste White.
often the hosts are involved in the writing process, sometimes even pitching sketch ideas, so def plausible
He was on Carvey and Spade's podcast talking about it. SNL's writers wrote it and absolutely nailed it.
Best skit in 5 years.
I was calling out lines before the happened and died at every punch 😂
Sad if true
@@MrTsiolkovsky call ur mum, she was there m8
It was legit. "Where all men are free, right?" 😂
I loved this one!
How is that sad if true dude? This was literally the funniest sketch in the last 30 years
This gets funnier every time I watch! 🤣🤣 Keenan's questions and Nate's non- response, responses 😂😂😂😂
“We’ll use gallons pints and quarts, god willing” Gold delivery.
"Nobody Knows." 😂 "Impossible."😂 "There's a little kicking..."
George just walks away quietly... BWAHAHAHA!!
Cracking. Up. Nate DELIVERS AGAIN!😂
Nate is hilarious. I am a new fan now. As a teacher who had to teach BOTH systems to 10-year-olds, I feel vindicated for my failure at it. Still, nobody knows. Including my students.
+1!!!!!!
"Nobody knows" haha
Did you remember how many feet are in a mile before he said it? I sure didn't! XD
Thank you for your service 🎉
You are doing the Lord’s work Karenfromkansas! 😂😊
This is the most BRILLIANT sketch on SNL, ever ! Perfectly performed and in classical form... every moment. I can't get enough of it, for in every comedy or joke, there must be an element of truth. This skit takes them all... beyond whatever the previous greats Ackroid, Belushi, Gilda, Jane, Chase ever did.
Truly CLASSIC
..hmm..I don’t know that he’s “beyond” all the people you mention..just my opinion. However he’s most certainly heading up there with them.
Love this guy. Absolutely Hilarious. 🙏❤️🌏🌎🌍😂😂
The SKETCH WAS great....the MOST??? That's a bit of an infinite...and have you been watching since 1975, kc?? Something tells me probably not. Also...it's SKETCH...NOT SKIT. Dont' use both...
I literally have been watching since the beginning of SNL and I have never been amused by a sketch as I was by this one. It's packed with gems. And I get such a kick out of Nate's delivery.
And what about the slaves, sir?
- You asked about temperature.
I did not.
😅🤣🤣🤣
i think this may be my favorite snl sketch. like, ever.
This might be the funniest SNL skit of the past twenty years.
Agree, non political and genuinely funny
I'd say the past 5 or so. The "Worlds most Evil Invention" was amazing
@jculbrethj non political 😮
SNL has always been political. People just weren’t 🐱 like you.
Absolutely not.
