"What if the black face was just part of your costume of a black person" that was probably asked at the real press conference LOL
And what's wrong with this? I don't get it. I belive it is a USA thing...
@@mirthy8219
Lol!!! Good one there... God... I hope you're joking.
Mirthy White the fact that you said It is a “USA thing” leads me to believe you understand the historical significance in which you should then understand that It is offensive and is unacceptable no matter where you are in the universe. If you so happen to be at a Martian party and are wearing blackface It is not funny or flattering, so please no black face Ms.white...
@@shab90 Why? I don't. I really don't get it. It won't be offencive back where I live. It would be awsome costium. That's why I think it's about USA's history with slavery.
@@LGRamirez nah, it won't work like this. If something is wrong there, it doesn't mean is wrong here. Offcorse it will be wrong for you because you are from USA culture, if I guessed corectly, but not for me. We didn't enslaved anyone. So for me is a funny thing to watch.
"What if the costume won a contest?"
"What was the contest?"
"Blackest face."
Got me rolling!
🤣😂🤣best part of the entire skit.
AM I IN HELL!?
Ikr
they see you rollin
they be haitin
Someone actually shouted Oh. My God.
2:57 That person who yelled ‘oh my god!’ when Beck said the contest was for blackest face 😂😂😂 the live audience definitely added to this sketch
I wouldn't be surprised if ANY of these questions were actually asked! 😂
JMH The audience always does. I miss the live audience with COVID-19 going on now
it was barely audible
"Al Jolson" made me laugh so hard.
For those unaware, Al Jolson was one of the most popular blackface musicians in vaudeville
As a non-american, I was super confused. Googled it. Fucking lost my shit at the joke. People like shitting on SNL, but the clips I find on youtube tend to be fucking fire.
Thank youu. ❤
Even more ironically, Jolson was actually quite supportive of civil rights causes for black Americans and pushed for greater integration of the entertainment industry for pretty much his whole career. And of course his most famous blackface performance in the Jazz Singer is really a skewering of the minstrel show and the way Jewish vaudeville actors couldn’t find mainstream success if they didn’t put on blackface.
Keenan is so good at playing the disappointed, lovable authority figure.
I'm gonna miss him
He learned from his grocery store days with his friend Kel
Sean Murphy 🤣🤣🤣
Keenan is the best! He should not leave!
@@gfunk63901 Wait, what? Is he leaving?? D:
“What was the name of the contest?”
“Blackest face”
You can hear a lady scream “oh my god” in the audience 😂
Lmao
The best SNL hosts are the ones that blend into the sketches seamlessly. Watching sketches like this I forgot Halsey was the host and not just a cast member. She did a great job with this episode.
I forgot Halsey was the host because I don't know who Halsey is.
I think it’s because she didn’t talk until the end
she had 2 lines dude
I thought the same about Chance the Rapper
No, that means the host isn’t funny so they just put them in a sketch with barely any lines.
“Are you gonna get mad...?” Keenan’s face cracks me up
See he's getting mad 🤣
"BIG OLD BLACK BOOTY"
Pete is dying in the background lmfaooooo
Hephzie Berry I saw that he struggling lol
2:22 [spit take]
😁😁
"I'm not mad, I just didn't think this would be that complicated." Yep that pretty much sums it up lol
Jimmy Swenson
Complicated, hummmm,
Tell that to the fine “dress up” folks wearing “War paint” in
Washington DC on “Football Sunday.” as they “honor”
As they pretend to “scalp’”their opponents
As The Aboriginal Peoples of America.
“I’m not mad,” . . . just tired.
I have said that same thing to someone in the meeting. It made them madder. Then it all became a game with everyone to see how mad we could make that person. It sounded just like this skit.
So you are retarded
Cecily said "I mean for next time", I spit out my drink .... hilarious
Vince Fl I scrolled through so many comments to find someone else who found that funny
I dont mean biracial, I mean one year I was both Micheal Jacksons..omg 😆
Hilarious joke
LoL. “...That is an Awesome idea !”
*Pauses*
*Pauses*
"Okay...offensive. But hilarious..."
I did that when I was like 11 and this black dude gave me a buncha candy soooo
I should do that next year
2:19 when SNL goes meta and includes Pete in the shot of the most breakable joke.
"what if i dressed in black booty?" "how could anyone tell that it was a black booty?" "because i had shoe polish on my face" SDFGJGFDSFG THE BEST PART
So you left out dialog that occurred in between the commentary...nice way of fudging the truth. Have to leave shit out to be cool? Yay..you're a tool
@@v10dodge87 you didn’t even spell dialogue right lmao "tHiNk yOUR cOoL hUH?"
‘What if the blackface was part of a costume of a black person?’ 😭😭😂😂
No one has a logical answer to that question...
“Who’s your hero”
“Al Joleson”
OH MY GOD
Jasmine Matthew has to look him up, Oh god 😂
audience had an r/whoosh moment
i had to look him up. oh my god can you imagine your legacy being the most popular minstrel performer?
@@jakelieberman2455 one of the best jokes in the whole skit, and like 2 people laughed. Very disappointing.
@@nelle5339 I had my doubts that you didn't refer to "minstrel" as a ménestrel, a medieval musician
So I checked for other definitions...
And now I only hope I've never said something along the line of "I'd love to see a minstrel show reenactment" to native english speakers
"BUT IT WAS THE 80s!" 😂
@Jim Dandy Then you probably weren't looking.
1981. czcams.com/video/ViM_TtVrFUc/video.html
@Jim Dandy "These Democrats?" Cult45? 🙄
miapdx Because they’re all Democrats that did😂 Someone’s a triggered Liberal and I like what I’m seeing!
@@anthonyl.9059 All Democrats? Do you WATCH the news? The two main people this is about are a Democrat AND a Republican. Don't try and take the moral high-ground. Also, not all liberals are Democrats. Not all liberals even _like_ Democrats.
"Am I in hell?" lmao
That's what I ask myself everyday. 😏
Yes, but we have cookies.
“I’m a take a 2 week lunch” 😂😂 me every time I go to work
*"BUT IT WAS THE 80ssssss!!!!"*
It wasn't funny in the eighties
But what if it was part of a costume of a black person?
I always love how Keenan says no
And also when he says Yes! Remember Black Jeopardy with Tom Hanks?! Lol
Jim Dandy thanks grandpa, things today are allowed to be funny too.
Jim Dandy comedy is subjective gramps, so you’re idea of funny back in the Jurassic park days may be a lot different from how us millennials see funny.
Keenan Rick rocks it. Agreed lol
Black Jeopardy when Kenan is so thrilled with Tom Hanks he rushes to the podium to shake his hand and Tom backs away thinking he's coming to assault him. Hank's reaction is so brilliant.
Pete can never keep a straight face 🤣🤣🤦🏿♂️🤦🏿♂️
Yeah pete is lame!
Trucking Lane's I like Pete as an stand up comedian but he’s a shitty actor
What you expect from a drugee
Just like Jimmy Fallon and Jones 😢
Pete is just not made for sketch comedy.
"we are elected state officals we can't keep having this pop up!"
"BuT iT wAs ThE eIgHtIeS!!!!!!"
I died there Lol🤣😂
Omg your channel description is awesome
"We can still do the voice?"
WHAT VOICE!?!! 👀
Lmao gonna have to give that one another 100 years.
The one that's the opposite of beta male, nasally, dweeb voice
Deep,stern,with soul and emotion😂
@YourNatureBoy27 ding ding ding.
No one in that audience had any idea who Al Jolson was.
Conny Mac right?!
Who is he?
Habiba Duval he was an extremely popular singer and film star in the early part of the 20th century who routinely wore blackface while singing (he was white). His most notable role was in the first ‘talking picture’ in 1927 called ‘The Jazz Singer’ where his character wore blackface (he was basically playing a version of himself as an entertainer, and not playing a black man directly). That his style was so accepted at the time is very telling about white culture at the time. In the 40s two biographical films were made about him, and the blackface was in those as well. I saw them on VHS in the 90s (my dad was an Al Jolson fan-I couldn’t stand him) the blackface was still treated matter of fact (like there was no disclaimer on the box or anything to put it into context). Quite shockingly It’s only been relatively recently that the tide has turned (and there’s still a lot of work to be done unfortunately).
I adore Jolson
I'm not sure if this is a good thing or a bad thing.
Kenan is carrying this show
I can't agree more - he's the only reason why I tune into SNL and I fast forward to his skits
Kenan's the funniest. We have the same sense of humor 😂😂😂😂😂
Kenan and McKinnon
Is and has been for a very, very long time.
Every sketch is basically the same 4 people
I lost it when she said “oh, for next time?” 😂
I love Keenan so much, he is so great in every sketch lmao
"But we can still do the voice?" ..Oh hell no! 🤣🤣🤣
What does the voice mean? I'm not from the US and I don't understand. Is it about the tone (higher or lower voice) or the vocabulary and pronounciation? I would guess it's about people imitating soul stars?
Generally, they have different pronunciations of words and a unique dialect SkylaSternenlocke
@@dougiejones5719 They? Careful buddy. That was a little racist.
@@SkylaSternenlocke By voice they mean dialect.
@@MarcoPolo1299WOAH WOAH WOOAAHH... PRONOUNS!!
now skeeter, he ain't hurtin nobody..
What if ur half blk? Ok Halsey killed it
Yeah, NO.
u have extremely low standards, ms. npc
@@phiwei3734 Its a joke in reference to her being biracial. Halsey is half black
Then you're ALLOWED to destroy the country, and everyone will be afraid to call you on it since they don't want to appear racist.
@Jim Dandy: The only thing I thought was stupid was Kenan not going off...
Pete couldn't keep character to save my life lol
4:17 Alex Moffat's little smile when he raises his hand 😂
4:07
Why does he look like Aaron Tveit?
That feeling when satire and reality are not so different.
This skit was funny until it ended and I realized this is our reality 😂 😭
It was our reality a lot more recently than the 80s on "Saturday Night LIve" with Fred Armisen and Jimmy Fallon both appearing in blackface on SNL....you know, in the current millennium!
Mark Ellsworth exactly!
Francis Smith please don’t make this about politics
Francis Smith sorry didn’t know 🤷🏽♀️
I agree, this is our reality and it is very very sad😔
4:06 Alex's creepy smile as he raises his hand
2:24 Mikeys delivery is so good, Pete and even Kenan are breaking
His expression and hand gesture when he says "Big'ol Black Booty" give it a perfect delivery that would break anyone lol
It doesn’t count if it happened in the 80s 😂
Listen to my Lil Pump Diss song or your kid will turn out to be gay
It really doesn't lol. (gene wilder)
Or during Halloween 😏
@@yattaguru with a klan member is bs
@Jim Dandy We are old, because SNL hasn't been funny in a loooonnnng time.
so what if you dress up as a Virginia state representative wearing a costume of a black person from the 80s?
jordan secrist ...oh dear.
lol
I'm surprised they didn't think of that! 😘
Omg that's funny..😂😂😂😂...
You win
pete davidson losing his shit in the background is my religion
Halsey is awesome. If she joined the cast I would not be unhappy. Her timing and sense of the room is on point.
"See, he's getting mad"
America's response to any complaint the black community has ever made lol.
Gr8 comment. Two 👍
No shit! But if it's a white man, ranting; oh he's just expressing himself...😩
That's because all you ever do is complain
@@npvols4321 Thanks for making more point more poignant country-mate =].
" they're so aggressive, why can't they complain about racism in a nice way 😢 "
On the bright side, all the politicians who resign can have a second career as song and dance group called "The Blackface Boys."
Scott Hopkins And yours will get way less
Blackface boi
This comment is about as funny as this sketch! Dude, you should write for SNL!
Oh God. Now I kind of wanna see that.
czcams.com/video/ViM_TtVrFUc/video.html
"yes, glenn?"
"you gonna get mad?"
Alex's smile is so funny when he raises his hand, after Kenan asked "Or the 90s".
I hope Keenen never leaves Saturday Night Live. Well unless he really wants to of course. I'll never get tired of him. So funny.
He seems to just be getting better...like he's just having more fun.
I read somewhere he’s been offered his own sitcom which he’s accepted. That’s usually when they jump ship. I’d be surprised if he isn’t gone by 2020.
@@qbizm I'd definitely check it out if he does.
qbizm it seems like the sitcom is a go but it will be done by NBC. I wouldn’t be surprised if the sitcom was shot during snl breaks and he pull off a double duty.
@@bigdinlaca That'd be great.
No , not biracial
I mean, one year my costume was to be both Michael Jacksons so I only did half black 😂😂
I have an anus.
Emily Rose "biracial" isn't even a scientific term 😂😂 humans are 100% African, 99.9% identical 💯🇺🇸
The eldest Europeans are African by tens of millions of years then Hispanics by tens of thousands of years. Hispanic African (Denisovan) dna is atleast 400k years old and the Hispanics have been in the Americas for atleast 60k years. Modern ethnicities didn't spread African depigmentation genes until 5-8k years ago 😂
"When it comes to skin color, the team found a patchwork of evolution in different places, and three separate genes that produce light skin, telling a complex story for how European’s skin evolved to be much lighter during the past 8000 years. The modern humans who came out of Africa to originally settle Europe about 40,000 years are presumed to have had dark skin, which is advantageous in sunny latitudes. And the new data confirm that about 8500 years ago, early hunter-gatherers in Spain, Luxembourg, and Hungary also had darker skin: They lacked versions of two genes-SLC24A5 and SLC45A2-that lead to depigmentation and, therefore, pale skin in Europeans today."
www.sciencemag.org/news/2015/04/how-europeans-evolved-white-skin
"You and I, in fact everyone all over the world, we’re literally African under the skin; brothers and sisters separated by a mere two thousand generations. Old-fashioned concepts of race are not only socially divisive, but scientifically wrong."
"Explain that genetic evidence shows all humans are 99.9% identical and do not fall neatly into physical categories some people call races. The differences among us-like skin color and hair texture-evolved as humans adapted to different environments. They account for less than one tenth of one percent of our genetic makeup."

@@mikerod9555 Stupid isn't a scientific term either.
Electric Sheep brainwashed people like that don't live in reality so most will deny facts and cry lol I've talked with some of those trolls before 😎💯🇺🇸
@@mikerod9555 you prove my point. You hate black so much, but yet you study so much about our culture, just so you can insult someone. Just show how much a racist person is truly miserable and insecure about themselves. 😂😂😂 which is why I don't take insult to the heart. Bullies are really insecure and insensitive miserable people. Who have no life, but to down grade other people, so they can feel smart. When all reality, they have no heart or no soul. Just a one way ticket to hell.
“Are you going to be mad?” = “Am I going to be held responsible?” I understand the mindset I have children 😒
the al jolson joke wasn't appreciated enough
Jazz Singer (1927)
probably because most people didn't get it.
Sad because it's probably a predominately white, liberal audience. They know what blackface is yet they don't know who Al Jolson is.
2:22 lmfao at Pete he couldn't contain himself 😂 and Kenan was about to laugh too
Keenan losing weight ? looking good my man
The way Alex Moffat, creepily raises the hand when he mentions the 90s💥😂😂
The double entendre question fooled me. Good one Halsey.
I'm gonna stop you right there Phil
Nain Martinez , SNL proves once again that it is a totally Safe Space for anyone offended by humor.
TriState Forestry Service lol that’s what you took out of that line? 😂 you must be fun at parties...
atmosvere , what do you mean? SNL hasn’t done anything funny for over fifteen years. Too much liberal butthurt politically correct whining to “push the envelope” with any actual comedy.
TriState Forestry Service You sound like the very people SNL make fun of. Congratulations buddy lol
Grace Coleman , you just proved my point perfectly. Thank you man.
You watch this and think, "There's no way real people are that stupid."
Then you read facebook comments on any Blacface article.
Jesus.
look man it was just a goof it was a joke it was 2018 it was a different time i didn't do anything wrong
Obnoxious.... apparently people can't change, can't make mistakes.... Well, no, not true.... It depends on what end of the political spectrum your on.... That's what decides if it's a forgivable mistake or not.
@@ladyweasellou3367 Oh STFU! When you have changed you hold yourself accountable, don't complain about hypothetical others.
VioletteOrdinaire YOU ARE AWESOME FOR THIS RESPONSE
LadyWeaselLou being racist is NOT a “mistake”. ESPECIALLY within the older generations in 2021. yall should know being racist is wrong. be mature and own up to your ignorance.
2:37, the way Keenan says, "Yeah, _whaT_ ?" IDK why, but it's just so dang funny!
I am laughing so hard it hurts...this gets right the intelligence level of politicians.
"I'm doing that next year!" 😂😂😂
I LOVE Halsey's hair in this skit!!
I haven't heard of Halsey before (except the Admiral). New cast member?
Halsey is the most beautiful state rep ever!
How does Kenan not have an Emmy? This man is comedic gold. His skits are one of the few things that help me smile in this dumpster fire of a society
1:56 “Who was your hero?” “Al Jolson” 💀💀💀 I don’t even know how he delivered that with a straight face 😂
I had to look it up and DEAR GOD lmao
I love the subtle reinforcement of "angry Black man" stereotype threw in the segment to show how out of touch the state representatives were 😂
"I'm doing that next year!" 🤣🤣🤣🤣
A lot of times the dialogue on snl can feel really stilted and unnatural but I love the way the coversation moves in this skit
Jeez.... now I'm curious as to what "Blackvoice" sounds like.
Go watch Night School with Tiffany Haddish and Kevin Hart there’s a whole skit where the principle does black voice
Possibly the character "Frylock" on "Aqua Teen Hunger Force".. or any man who can sing R&B well?
Phoenixx Trih I really couldn’t tell you bro
Scott Martin I believe that’s what he meant maybe
You can just look up “ minstrel show” and see how we are imitated
the fact that these were probably real questions asked by people kind of hurts, but I suppose the laughter helps ease the pain
This is actually hilarious, I keep laughing. Love the skits that do that! The timing and delivery is great.
2:23 I was watching Pete because I just knew he’d break there 😂
Great al Jolson reference. Appreciated
You can tell no one got it. Low Jolson though
That was smart!
This shoulda been the opening sketch. Best sketch of the show!!
"to be BOTH Michael Jacksons"
It's over for me 🤣🤣🤣. For those who'll come have fun at my funeral: I died laughing!
Nobody has ever laughed louder than at 2:57 for any SNL sketch before.
If i had a dollar for every Tina Turner and thriller mj costume of the 80ds..
whitenoise i hear u that was because people liked them, not to mock them though.
MacyLouWho ...hahaha thank you needed the laugh...
And I bet you never imagined when you saw those Tina Turner and MJ Halloween costumes that future generations of pseudo-"woke" college students would decree that the choice of wearing those costumes to impersonate a contemporary pop music star was the most important and defining moment of the accused's lives! And that having worn those Tina Turner and MJ costumes 35 years ago the only act of contrition sufficient for the offense is to slink into the shadows for the rest of their lives!
@@whitenoiseihearu4018 What are you saying? The MJ & Tina Turner costumes WERE NOT mockery, they were adulation.
Kenan killed it this week!
Well I'm gonna take a 2 week Lunch break before I lose my damn mind. Lol
omg that al jolson one went over everybodys head😭😭
Kenan is like a teacher who has to confront his students about any upcoming problems at the college. I love it
My state is a national embarrassment! But hey, this skit was funny tho.
Do you live in MS to?
This state was a lot worse in the 80's and 90's. Michael Jackson had to fight to have his videos shown on MTV in the 80's. Even in the 90's it was hard to find black music if you did not have BET. A lot has changed. If you did things in high school and college is should not matter as much. People do a lot trying to impress others. We make mistakes when we are you and hopefully we learn from these mistakes.
You’re competing with my state now ... (North Carolina).
Try being a woke person in Georgia. I get being a minority, it sucks!
It is sad that Northam has told people he will not resign because he does not want to be knowm as a racist for the rest of his life. All governors should put their state ahead of themselves. Not going to happen though.
This looks like our debrief on cybersecurity during ransomware period lol...all of the employees clicked the drill link
I definitely chromecast the previous nights snl every time I wake up hungover Sunday 🤴🏾blunts n laughs with scrambled eggs on the side is the recipe
"Am I in Hell?!" LMAO
89 people who wore blackface in college disliked this video.
Acts17Apologetics it was the 80s!!
What if we all just stopped being so sensitive to stupid shit ?
*356 people lol
It’s cool if you’re jimmy kimmel and it was just a few years ago on tv tho right? That should’ve been in this sketch lol
Exactly
Pete laughing behind Mikey is great 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
i could've sworn halsey was about to say "not biracial, bisexual"
in the 80's a character did that on the film trading places. it was the 80's
Both Michael Jacksons is hilarious
Tbf, the micheal jackson one sounds like a pretty sweet idea.
3:34 legend has it... She won then costume contest
That was so well-written and delivered. Bravo..I laughed my ass off the entire skit...
literally my favorite snl sketch ever
When he said I’m not mad every black man in America felt that lmao
So bizarre really. I mean it never crossed my mind to create a blackface costume ever.
Well, you would have to be Prime Minister. Justin Trudeau to understand.
As a young Black Male, I have never once wore "White Face" in my entire life... Well... Umm... Actually, now that I think about it... Back in 2011 there was that one time I applied for a substantially sized bank loan... And well, you know... It worked out pretty well for me 😉
J/K everybody, it's still okay to laugh and simply goof around sometimes, I hope? God Bless You and Take Care! 👍🏼 ✌🏼

Sincerely,
A "Brotha" with a sarcastic sense of humor 🤷🏽♂️
@Aesthetic Medic Ummm....no. Why did you think you had to go there?
@Aesthetic Medic so.....if a white woman dyes her hair black, then what. Engage critical thinking before ignorant comment next time, please.
@Aesthetic Medic Why are you deliberately practicing willful ignorance on here? Can you pretend to be enlightened?
Lol, thank you for the gift of levity in these trying times, when so many of my white "brothers and sisters" are so fucking ignorant it hurts...😂😭😭
@Aesthetic Medic You're kidding right? People dye their hair all different types of color. Most of the time when you see black women wearing wigs and weaves is to protect their hair from heat damage. They aren't trying to emulate white people. Seriously Becky, not everything is about you.
3:44 "I'm doing that next year"
*waving finger*
"NO MORE BLACK FACE."
I haven't laughed that hard and often at an SNL sketch in a good while. So many hilarious punchlines, all the actors totally nailed it. Kenan is so funny in this he elevates it honestly. I wish the show was this good more consistently. Not hatin just sayin.
Hilarious !!! Great writing, perfectly executed.
I am rarely awake for these releases and I need to sleep but they're so good
"I'm doing that next year" was it for me 🤣😂🤣
2:16 Pete does not want to break, but he gonna
