The fact that belushi rehearsed this infront of his cat only makes this whole sketch more hilarious 😂
Bahahhahah
hahaha
That depends. What did his cat think of it? 😆😂🤣
Do you mean cast 🐈
@@deewop2632 no he really practiced his character in front of his cat
"YO MAMA SAN!" It only works because Belushi has been entirely incomprehensible so far through the sketch. Brilliant.
NewhamMatt / Funny, that's just what I said.
I wouldn't say that's the "only" reason it worked. I do agree Belushi AND Pryor were brilliant....
@@rosss1959 lol
That was funny as hell
It looks like Belushi is imitating a random samurai, but he has studied the movements and mannerisms of famous chambara actors like Toshio Mifune in Yojimbo. GENIUS.
Honestly having watched that stuff I could tell and it made it way better.
Oh yeah, absolutely. I could totally see that, especially slipping his arm out of his sleeve to scratch his face.
He obviously didn't study how to sheath a katana properly though 😁
Zatoich the Blind Swordsman.
Yeah I was like "obviously he's imitating Japanese Samurai movies
Best line from Belushi at the end: "Yeah, I can dig where you're comin' from."
The only time his character spoke plain English.
thanks for spoiling the pun
The way he scratches the beard with the arm pulled out of the sleeve and coming inside of his kimono is the signature move of Mifune's samurai. John must have watched Kurosawa.
Yes, you are correct. Belushi's "Futaba" samurai character was inspired by Mifune's characters.
Exactly! It was suggested by Kurosawa for Mifune to adopt as a habit, to have some sort of visual signature for the character. This, and the shaking with the shoulders, so the audience would recognize the main character even when faced backwards. It's a nice surprise to see Belusi doing exactly these things.
@@cacauldr If memory serves, Belushi and Mifune appeared in "1941" in the late 70s.
@attymarco, I didn't know that, so I had to search and watch it. Glad I did. What a ride. Insane and hilarious. And what a great cast. So many of my favourites all put together.
Thank you, attymarco. You connected the dots in a great way! 👏
I was just watching 'Yojimbo' and it made me think of this sketch 🤣🤣🤣
Belushi was infamous for never stepping out of the Samurai persona when he was in it which makes the ending all the more funny.
"funnier"
tripjet999 that’s makes literally no sense
Carrot Slow, aintcha?
Chalwa when was the last time you heard someone say “all the more funnier”
Carrot just now...
Another good memory from my youth! John Belushi and Richard Pryor were hilarious!
R.I.P to these two amazing legends.
Chevy is still alive
#BelushiAndPryor.
Classic. Never gets old. R.I.P John Belushi
And Richard Pryor.
42 years later and this still cracks me up.
That's because it's so darned near perfect that people will *still* be laughing at it 42 years from now, or 142 years from now. there are very few examples of timeless comedy, done by a pair of gifted geniuses. This is one of them.
@@rocistone6570 exactly
Dopey me forgot Richard Pryor was in this skit.LOVED IT!!! WITHOUT A DOUBT TWO GENIUSES!!!!🤣🤣🤣
wow is this skit that old? I wasnt even born yet.
John Belushi & Richard Pryor should have been in multiple movie together.
The world lost some seriously funny movies by this not happening. Although Pryor and WIlder did make some excellent movies.
Tell it to their mutual coke dealer.
It was even funny how he sorted mail! With the shouts!
Amazing that they learned fluent Japanese just for a sketch.
Really?
@@jamesroodhouse8812 I am Japanese. His YAAAHs are perfect.
Is it fluent?
Belushi and Pryor were perfect choices for this type of slapstick comedy
I just seen this skit for the first time in years I forgotten how outrageously funny it was God how I miss them days Bellucci Chase and Pryor doesn't get much better than that
Who is Bellucci?
*Belushi
Love how at the end John breaks character.
Belushi was infamous for never, EVER breaking character when dressed as the samurai. Both the fact that he did here and that LOOK on Pryor's face makes this priceless.
I can dig, where you're coming from.
If you ever watch the early In Living Color scenes many famous actors are guilty of this as well
3:27 “Well, I can dig where you’re coming from.”
Anyone else feel like the phrase "And then Richard Pryor showed up." Happenes in alot of epic stories?😂
It doesn't happen in enough of them.
Amen!👍🤓
It’s a German legend there’s always going to be a mountain in there somewhere
So around the guests on the show, Belushi would act completely thrashed and get them totally worried that he was going to blow scenes... and then he would turn stuff around like this.
Omfg that random golf stroke with the katana, my sides ;D
CLASSIC.
Yea and using the samurai sword as a pool stick.lol
As a Japanese person I say this is a hundred percent accurate about us.
Pls translate
@@9965paul we don't speak Belushi, though.
Of course, it's well known the '70s were famous for the care they put into understanding other cultures
😂😂😂
Even the golf and the pool thing???
That's What I Call culture!!!!
The audience knew they were in the presence of greatness with these two.
"yo mama-san"!
MY MAMA-SAN??!!! AAAAAAAHHHH 👹🥋🗡
@@lion037 😐 .........
😅 "Well, I can dig where you're coming from."
When he use the sword as a pool stick 😂
John Belushi's audition for SNL was a Samurai pool player.
That's culture appropriation #cancel70sSNL
Priceless episode of SNL.
So nice seeing Ricard and John do this but. Perfect! Yo mama-san gets me every time!
Lol 3:07 Chevy had to hold his hand after the paper ball fell on it 😂
The great Belushi together with Pryor so great 😂
It's too great for words
Even as coked up samauris working in a hotel, you gotta love Belushi and Pryor
Comedy genius, both Richard Pryor and John Belushi.
And, don’t forget Paul Mooney wrote for that week’s show as well.
Actually it's Chevy chase and Charlie murphy
It is amazing how John Belushi can be funny when he isn't even saying real words
Except at the end:
“Well, I can dig where you’re coming from.”
It was incredible what he could do with a simple raised eyebrow
Yo Mama-san! LOL
My mama-San!!??? AHHHH(destroys desk)
Yo Mama SAN!!! LOL
Belushi was so great, not a day that goes by that I don't miss his him!
He devised so many things to be funny in this skit.
RIP John Belushi & Richard Pryor 😭
This will ALWAYS be funny
DutchComedian is your picture grouco
John Belushi was incredible and so brilliant, he stole the show so many times on SNL.
He and Ayckroyd were always my favorites. And Gilda.
Agreed
They really killed it with the samurai deli though
Wow, Belushi's an absolute GIANT here. Amazing.
Belushi was a treasure. This is side splitting.
He was unbelievably funny damn I miss him!
3 Great comedians in one sketch.Funny as hell.
Well, two.
3?? lol...
@@johnperrigo6474 Ha! Yeah, really only two. Two straight up geniuses and a dude who was sort of funny.
@eggboi Minus one!
How TF U Morons say there are only 2? I see 3 GREATS in this sketch! If ur trying to down grade Pryor or Chevy than ur a F'n MORON! 3 GREATS In this sketch, NO LESS
I cannot believe I am seeing Richard Pryor in this sketch!
Belushi's character is really a parody of Kurosawa films, not Japanese people.
yojimbelushi
To be honest, who watches Kurosawa films anymore.
Though part of me wonders if it would work with Jojo Bizarre Adventure or anime today (not just offensive issue, just would be cringe-y). Same with Mikado since it was trying to ride from 19th century equivalent of Weeaboo culture.
powerist of course people watch Kurosawa films.
powerist lol what? People that appreciate art perhaps? He’s not Dreyer. Even though people still discover the art of silent film today.
powerist his movies are amazing and the last movie I saw was Yojimbo two days ago.
John Belushi.. yur gone too soon..RIP
My cousin knew him. They got along well.
Now THAT is comedy. "Your momma san". 🤣
RIP John and Richard: Two comedic geniuses
Still some of my favorite sketches. John Belushi really went the extra mile to get the act just right, which makes the character break at the end all the better! Him cutting his finger was pretty good too, probably unintentional but he ran with it.
I so remember this back in 1975. Almost died laughing. Can't tell if this or the Steve martin King tut skit was the funniest. Good memories. The original cast were never duplicated. The best !!!!
To this day SNL has not come close to the original cast. In short, SNL went downhill from 77 on.
@@jerrymoloney4273 exactly and well said 👏
Belushi and Pryor....classic!!
Belushi Rocks!!!!
The only thing funnier than Belushi as a Samurai is Richard Pryor as a Samurai!
God, this show used to make me howl with laughter! It’s still funny all these years later.
Classic SNL with the original cast. The first five years were incredible! It was live comedy without a net every Saturday night and it was exciting because anything could happen.
And the bands back then were great too! I must get the DVD box set!
Thanks for reminding me CZcams and whoever uploaded this clip. 👏😆😂😁😎🍾
Awesome! I’ve watched this a million times. I miss the 70s.
almost half a century later, still funny and amazing
John Belushi and Richard Pryor is comedy gold in this skit.
Richard Pryor as the host of doing SNL in the 70s. He was sweet. Rip. Richard Pryor.
❤ John Belushi was a genius of comedy. I wish he was here now.
Belushi and Pryor duel 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
John B. We MISS you Samurai Brother!!!🤘
Hey, wanna best COVID-19? Inject yourself with these classics...you'll laugh yourself to health!
Amazing what was found funny back in the day 😂
Still one of the best comedy sketches I’ve ever seen 👌🏻
This is the true art of the comedian: Belushido!
Absolute classic. This is when SNL was a reason to stay home on Saturday night.
Arthur Shatz Yep!
Stay home to watch then go to the bars after
@Jerrol Hale today's SNL is a joke it's like there trying to hard to be funny but there not
Definitely. I loved to stay up late and watch SNL. The early years were epic!
so many memories from way back then. and real good days too.
2:15 OMG I was not expecting Richard Pryor. I just about died LOL Your mama-san
still a great skit, holds up well...HIYAHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!
3:28 I love that moment
We have replaced the hysterical with PC hysteria.
That's not nice stay in your assigned box
@@Ginx-pe4si What are you talking about?
watermelonbeast - Well said :)
pussy
Best 70s sketch in the Saturday Night Live library!!
This is some funny stuff that I am glad I saw as a kid Chase, Belushi and Pryor we're all too funny in this. Wow.
i wonder if he did cut his thumb when re sheeving that katana at 1:28
This never gets old!!!
3 legends, unfortunately 2 of them gone.R.I.P. John and Richard. Thanks for the laughs!!!
The Original Man Bun. This was on TV before my husband kids or life. Now I'm back to being 17 when I watch this. The ex is dead the kids are grown and I'm by myself. But not really. I have John to laugh with. RIP my buddy....
That sketch never gets old. Both Belushi and Pryor as Samurais. "You're Mama-san!"🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Tidbit: This was written two days before the show aired.
Shocking.
Still greatly funny & surprised Chevy didn't manage to break & ruin it
Actual representation of my last two brain cells
何を言ってるか分からないんだけど、笑っちゃうんだよね(^-^)
日本好きだったのかな？間違ってる部分もあるけど、演じるジョンベルーシ大好き❤
機会があればぜひ黒澤明監督の「用心棒」で三船敏郎演じる主人公をご覧になってみてください
Thank you for putting all these skits online. I truly appreciate it. 🥰
Hands down, one of the best SNL skits of all time.
Chevy Chase's costume got me thinking *Le Samouraï*
This must be a fun sketch to do, all you had to do was swing a sword around and yell gibberish.😃
Imagine this being done NOW!!!!
ok i can imagine it
now what
whitey
It just wouldnt. There would be "twitter outrage" and media would be all over the "racist" SNL skit.
Priceless
Pryor and Belushi, genius stuff.
I understand this sketch was ahead of my time but My God this is a classic!!!
Jim went to my HS. Wheaton Illinois. Great talent.
this is one of my favorite vids. still cracks me up
racist
A Legend
2024 ❤ We are still here missing you Mr. B...
CLASSIC COMEDY FROM THESE TWO LEGENDARY COKE HEADS... RIP )))
"I can dog where you're coming from" 😆😅😆😅😆😅🐺🤣😆🤣
They don’t make ‘em like they used to..! THREE classics! Wa pissin mesen!😂
Lmao when he chalks the end of his katana to take a shot.
When I asked a kid, Saturday night was staying up late and hearing the SNL band with a pizza with my brothers.
日本シリーズわかりやすくていいわ
うまいね
確かに日本の昔の時代劇はそんな感じだわw
Love to see again " Samurai Gynaecologist" 😃
