My mom loved this skit . I always watch it to feel closer to her. RIP Momma 1978-2019
May she rest in paradise
I was born in 78 as well. She was so young. I'm sorry for your loss. Accept condolences of this stranger from Pakistan. May she rest in peace.
💕😓

"no captions available for this video"
You got that right
idk what the hell he sayn? lol
@@jamex98 apparently so does CZcams, that's why they can't generate a subtitles for this video
Captions can't transcribe incoherent southern dialogue.
🤣👌🏻
Nonsense, the court reporter managed just fine.
Also, Molly Shannon's contribution to this sketch is perfect.
This felt like To Kill a Mockingbird but Tarantino directed it
Loved it
@@SStupendous I'd definitely watch that.
10 sec screen time, priceless expression.
She made the skit with her read back.
Her expression when called upon to do it was perfect.
@@richardlecomte6839 - I agree with you and the OP 100%
Chris Kattan's "Southern lawyer" is a stereotype we have seen too many times. Perfectly done.
Chris Kattan is amazing, this skit was great, the expressions on the judge, priceless!!
Too much yelling. My cousin Vinny is more realistic.
It's Super Duper country. You can make it out if you've been around it. lol
Oh please. This guy sucks. He couldn't be funny by accident.
@@TheSmittel Nah. He absolutely nailed it. It's less realistic and more caricatured. That's what makes this so absurdly funny
"Could the court reporter read back the question?" - priceless expression!
Took me a moment to work out where I recognized her from!
i nearly died when the camera focused on her
She is gold. That expression of sheer horror, lol.
The best part of the skit.
Tight T T go ahead!
The hair and walk alone with he got up was enough 🤣🤣🤣
yeah i dont care what that dead catholic nazi Norm Macdonald said about kattan always playing a "gay guy", i think chris' work stands on its own
What accent is that ?
He looks like from 1920 or something
Kattan was all-in on every sketch he did. This sketch seems so well-rehearsed and everyone delivers amazing performances; even the extras. Molly Shannon has only a few "words" and she slays.
After watching this clip, I was going to comment on how Molly Shannon was everything here, but I thought I'd check to see if it had already been brought up. Imagine my joy to learn you've got the top comment for saying exactly that.
She's got the least silly role, but she's got the most funny delivery.
Baba beeza bop.
@@slicksmith856Bada do….Dohsey doh.
@@MontagZoso Sabaaza!
I love Tim Meadows' expressions, and Molly's delivery. And I love the Suel Forrester character, I wish Chris had done a few more sketches with him in it (I believe he did three).
I'm a court reporter. Molly Shannon nailed the read back 🤣😂
I'm from Alabama. And I'm ashamed that I understand 90% of that
Noooo!😂 Likewise

From mississippi. I understood most of it too.
Glasgow, UK here...100%%%%%%%, checkout the Glaswegian accent, you'll see why.
Haha
Me too.
The fact that this is a well thought out performance not just gibberish is mind blowing! I see some country folks understand what he said over here 😂
Yeah, all this time, I thought it was just gibberish! Is Kattan a country boy?
No lol, he’s a Jewish boy from SoCal. No Jews in the south except for maybe metro Atlanta.
@@mattnorcia5593 dems be de wry day like bee keeping it too
@@mattnorcia5593 My Jewish family and many friends are in every Southern state. Take care. They have done well. Thousands of Jews and other groups were helpful during the civil rights era in the 1960s. They are in every state. If you lived in the South you would know. Well take care.
I got a friend who is a part cajun. Normally you would never know, unless he gets mad, and then he sounds like this.
This is an absolute classic! The 90s SNL cast was the best in my opinion. A rendition of this sketch with Chris Katan returning host would be a great episode!
Totally agree!!!!!
@@gambitwilsonbillyho953 Agreed 👍
Joan Allen is HOT
and much better writing
In my opinion, the original Not Ready for Prime time Players were the best the show had to offer, in ANY decade.
Tim Meadows was severely underrated straight man back in the day. Respect.
Yeah hes good at straight man but they had him do impressions too and he cant do impressions and accents very well, his michael jackson was pretty funny though
Totally agree. He’s so good.
anyone is straight next to kattan
Who did the underrating? Who was saying this?
I have watched this skit so many times that now I can actually understand most of what Chris Kattan is saying!
I need a life, I know.
Same
+Billie Jennings 2019?
To be honest most of it is pretty easy to figure out by the syllables and the context.
Prerita sen what is he saying
Same :)
"Did you just call me a chicken?....No Juggs" lmao
Chris Kattan is by far the best-animated actor. I just felt so bad when I heard he was in an accident and cost him to stop being so animated. I still love watching his movies.
Sadder because he got hurt playing my favourite role. Peppers the clown
yeah i dont care what that dead catholic nazi Norm Macdonald said about kattan always playing a "gay guy", i think chris' work stands on its own
John Goodman is every man’s actor. He doesn’t need awards of some Hollywood elite to know that he is deeply loved by many people. He has been is many films, shows and one of most relatable actors of our time
He'll always be the coach in "Revenge of the Nerds" to me....but seriously, he's a great actor.
He was sooo good in " The Big Lebowski " and really good in " What Planet are you from?"
Linda Tripp! 😅😂😭
“I will prove here today, beyond a shadow of a doubt, that my client is an innocent man. Can you execute, an innocent man?” Lol
You speak the language of Gods..oh the great one 🙌
You sir have earned your suspenders and shotgun
I thought he said idiot, LoL
@@purpleflametarot39 / he did 😆. .
@@purpleflametarot39 that’s what I heard!
i'm from arkansas and this is what i got from the skit :) ( "Ladies and gentlemen of the jury, I'd like to start off by thanking you for being here today. We really appreciate it. Now! I will prove today, without a shadow of a doubt, that my client is an innocent man. So, ask yourself can you execute an innocent man? (prosecutor asks barnett her question then kattan says) "Objection your honor" (then when it's kattan's turn to ask the questions) "Care to tell us another diddy about the defendant excuse me your friend. it's a simple question tell another diddy go ahead. So you dont sincerely know do you? (John Goodman asks do se do) Did I just hear you say you dont sincerely know? Not do se do but Don't sincerely know. (Prosecutor asks john goodman if he saw defendant kill the person he says yes) I object your honor on the grounds this prosecutor is leading the witness! (Prosecutor complains being called prostitute) oh my god oh my god I did not call you a prostitute, ok now mr. barnett Is it true that you have a bit of a drinking problem? (Um um) you know? I've got a drinking problem (no no...yes?) Need I remind you that you are under oath. (then he draws the picture and says) is it true you got so jealous, so jealous you DRUGGED & FRAMED YOUR PARTNER! SO JEALOUS SO JEALOUS YOU DRUGGED YOUR PARTNER!?) as far as gaggiti bo is concerned i am thinking that is "gets to go free boy" or just gibberish for comedic effect as some of what he said in skit was but if he was really saying words during it then what i said above is probably close according to some people's southern speak lol great sketch either way!
From Arkansas too and I have to concur. Sounds like every single lawyer in Washington and Madison Counties I ever heard.
I had to watch the skit again whilst reading your transcript. Everything made sense. 😂😂😂 Thank you from South Africa
Im from Arkansas,pulaski county,I didn't understand a dam thing he said🤣🤣🤣 But that interpretation is FLAWLESS,thank u!!!
Wow Thank you that was amazing!
Awesome!! 😁
Is it weird that I understand Chris perfectly? As a Georgia native I’ve actually heard ppl talk like this including members of my family. He accidentally nailed it.
Are you able to give translation? I got southern roots and I can't understand nothing.
@@crazykenproductions606 ur roots gotta be from the dirt poor country.

PFFF!
best judge ruling ever: "Overruled. I think."
I feel like we're not giving the extras in the background enough credit. Their expressions are priceless!!! 😂🤣
For me , the best part is the face of sheer terror when Molly Shannon has to repeat the transcript. Like a student not paying attention who has to repeat the last sentence of the teacher .
i didn't make the face, but woulda...
one day in high school i ran into some guys that i knew that got me high before first period, and when the teacher called for me to read out loud, i went mr forrester.
thankfully, the teacher cut me off pretty quickly.
@@toddinthemiddle reminds me how I was watching a Star Trek episode and Data was saying , with his robotic head bobbing : "Slang - colloquial jargon ." Next day in literature, the teacher asked us what slang means and I repeated Data's line and needless to say everyone was impressed . Not very similar to your story, but just another rare case of television helping out in real life .
This skit could have eaily bombed but Kattan and Molly made it absolutely classic.
Molly made me laugh the hardest lol
John Goodman? He nailed this.
I enjoyed Molly but this sketch was hard to get through
@@rsh650 better than anything in the last 20 years of SNL's DNC/CIA-approved mockingbird shit
@@rsh650 Lol, you just got no fucking humor. This was better than the presidential owned snl like today.
I just discovered this skit this week. It's like finding a hidden track on a favorite record.
same lmao!
Its actually spelt weak
Does.. is that a thing? Hidden? Is the point that discovering this skit is like something that’s never occurred? Very meta. Unless you’re talking about hearing a B-Side that didn’t make the record?
@@insanecow24 It's just a skit. There will be no test or pop quiz. It was just my anology.
How did this guy get this far as a lawyer?
Chris kattan is crazy😂😂😂😂
Court reporter's facial expression: "They don't pay me enough to do this job!'
I remember watching this live as a kid not thinking it was funny because it sounded like he's just saying gibberish, but as I'm rewatching this decades later, it's hilarious now that I realize it's actual words
"Did you just call me a chicken?" 😄
"No jugs" 😂

Ohhhh, I finally got it:
"Mr. Barnett, is it true that you have a serious drinking problem?"
Ha! A few more decades and I'll have it all completely deciphered.
When SNL were true comedic actors
How the hell did nobody break in this skit?
4:30 I finally figured it out. "I object your honour. (Unknown). This prosecutor is leading the witness."
How

Hell
Can they keep their faces straight?
old actors :D their humour was internal :D
You control your emotions.
Talent and training.
They may have found it more annoying? I honestly found this sketch more annoying than funny.
That’s the talent
Molly Shannon omg. And Chris kattan is brilliant. Everyone really brought something to this skit 🤣
This is one of my favorite skits! Back in the day when they did long skits, no one was reading a que card. Chris Kattan is brilliant. I would love to know who wrote this skit. He left the cast too before he should have!

Just wondering, Who is the guy who everyone cheers for at 1:53?
@@walterzamalis4846 john goodman
I have such an affinity for John Goodman. He's such a good actor and so adorable.
This has to be on the list for best SNL sketch ever.
Everything about it is great and performed so well. It tastes a simple idea and fleshes it out hilariously.
It's a shame Kattan doesn't get the credit he deserves. He was the backbone of SNL from 96-03. Exhibitay issin thishay vidyeo!
As talented as the current cast is, I doubt any of them could pull off Mango. Such is Mango!
The problem was he was a drug addicted a-hole.
Funny as hell infront of the camera. But a real PITA to deal with.
@@I_like_turtles_67 Not sure where you are getting your "facts" but that isnt 100% true. OK, um, aside from the fact that pretty much every cast member did and does drugs on a daily basis - Kattan did not at first. He was actually the clean ones.
Sadly, during a skit LIVE on SNL, he had an accident and broke his neck. He was in immediate an excruciating pain but, a true professional, he continued throughout the skit - and the show.
Afterwards he was taken to the hospital and endured several operations. Naturally he was given opioids from the pain. THAT is when he, as you so eloquently put it, became a "drug addicted asshole". Although he is an addict and no excuse and he needs to get clean - I have much more respect for someone who is addicted to drugs, as opposed to those who do them out of recreation. One doesnt choose to be an addict- but they do choose to use and abuse. Kattan needs to get his shit together and get clean.
Read his autobiography. You'll understand then.
@@CSBTelevision
Could you give us a summary? Or at least the title?
« ...Simple question ; tiatitty go ahead! » 😂
John Goodman is one of those hosts who was basically another cast member. He nailed it everytime he hosted.
His Wilford Brimley commercial for "diabeetus" is gold.
@@bdwaggoner I've been rewatching Community since the movie announcement, and John Goodman may be the best cameo he's SO good in that show!
Although my fave Community cameo isn't exactly consistent. Yesterday it was Luis Guzman, but today I saw a John Goodman episode and that was that.
He really is hilarious! Great physical comedy, great delivery.
Truly Hilarious
Chris Kattan was highly underrated as a comic genius.
Chris Kattan achieved mediocrity.
He was one of the funniest on snl back when I was a kid watching it, I remember this sketch lol very funny
If you don't have a sense of humor, he can be pretty funny
@@coolguy2418 I disagree, “Mr Peepers” was a balls to the wall character.
@Equinsu Ocha! Not even close - he's brilliant
The look on Molly Shannon's face when ask to repeat what was asked 😂😂
Classic! Excellent acting and delivery. SNL NEEDS this level again.
Didn't realize how much I missed Chris Kattan until now. Great approach to comedic acting.
Why Hollywood hasn't given John Goodman an Oscar by now is beyond me.
maybe he wasn't good enough at kissing ass
@@Dubbsteppa21 You don't need to be good at kissing ass. You just have to bribe the right people.
Oscar's aren't about talent. They are more like politics and running for mayor or president. If you don't put yourself out there, and run, you're not gonna win. It really is about talking to the right people and connections, and less about 1talent and who earned, or deserved it.
Just look it up. Google how the Oscar's actually work. Its really interesting to see how little they actually mean, and how they don't really reflect the general public's, or critics' opinion at all.
IKR?!
@@kari7403 what does the general public know about film?
The general public sittin at home while theyre being violated, despite the fact they all voted trump.
This guy never got enough credit. He was one of the best cast members EVER.
The best thing about Suel Forrester sketches is that he is actually saying real words if you listen closely. Poor writers could have easily copped out and just had him spew gibberish, but they didn't.
Translation Example: Do-Si-Do = Don't Even Know.
this is how a new pseudo language is created, for spy stuff n shit
Today's SNL writers would definitely have copped out. No originality, no effort, and too PC
It’s way easier to write the words and get him to improvise the slurring than it is to come up with so many brand new words for him to memorise! That’s a really millennial comment. Not the ignition through and completely wrong only serving to gthe ve the writer a ego boost for trying to sound smart as usual. It’s so much more in line with creativity to give him a script with actual dialogue and let him improv the slurring.
There are a bunch of nonsense words which were improvised by Kattan.
Chris Kataan was one of my all time favorite cast members. ❤️ So freaking talented.
I have a friend who was in a funny or die sketch with him.
Same he was amazing
One of the funniest people I've ever seen.His physical delivery is unparalleled
Easily my best of all time, but severely underrated.
But he doesn’t have a dog house.
Once in a great while SNL has a worthwhile hilarious skit.
Kris and this character are genius together. Molly's part to this sketch was utterly brilliant as well.
Court reporter's facial expression is priceless.
Now I have the need to watch me some “Maine Justice” 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Just came from there
I just went and saw Chris Kattan's stand-up comedy show last night in Royal Oak michigan and was able to have a picture taken with him afterwards. Such a nice guy.
Chris Kattan was a master! So unappreciated!
I just visited family in Kentucky. An older gentleman that lives over the hill stopped by to chat. He sounded a lot like this. Later my kids asked me if he was speaking English. LOL
"Did you just call me a Chicken?"
"No juggs"
😂
Overruled...I think!!
One of the best sketches ever.
I have watched and laughed at it so many times.
But I am still trying to decipher some of the words. Which makes it even more funny.
I'm from the Savannah area, a transplant from up North. When we first moved here we couldn't understand some rural people. They'd run all their words together. Half dozen words would sound like one huge compound word. Not quite like this, but in a different accent. Now, we understand them perfectly.
So CZcams just decided to recommend this sketch to all of us NOW?
Yes, yes they did! 🤣🤣🤣
Yelllllp....force it..
Baffling
Lol
No they almost certainly took a bunch of sketches off of being region locked, theres tons of old sketches that are being recommended now to everyone, they probably weren't available to the US before
One of the best SNL skits ever made.
The 90's was by far SNL at it's peak. It was the best show on television back then.
Yep! And now I wouldn't watch it if you paid me. It's more interested in being woke than being funny and none of the writers or actors have any perspective or personality. It's a zombie show now.
TOTALLY AGREE!! 100 % !!
You must have missed the first decade
I just love how proud Forester is every time he makes a point.
More Suel to the people PLEASE !!
Yeah, and bring back the Festrunk Brothers too!!
This and the teacher you couldn't understand that Chris Kattan did had me in tears as a kid. My stomach would hurt from laughing so hard
"Pahp kizz! Pahp kizz!!"
Chris Kattan is one of the most underrated SNL alumnus, he was always 100 and even his movies are hilarious, he was hilarious and Undercover Brother, practically made the movie, and when he played Corky Romano, is it called classic, somebody better tell you
“Did you just call me a chicken?”
“No,jugs.”
i love how he slam the wood each time like he said something crazy loooool
I slam the wood too. A lot.

Damn! I still got my VCR!!! I remember back in the early 90s (Especially with The Sandler, Rock, Spade and Farley Days), I would tape the shows. Ahhh I don't know what happened to the tapes but I am glad SNL were able to upload some of the sketches on the YT!

This is truly one of the GOAT’s in SNL History. It never dulls. Funny as the first time I remember when it first aired.
I have to watch this at least 2 or 3 times a month!! One of the funniest skits since the early 80s days of SNL.

The talent on this skit is amazing. The serious parts of the skit was some great acting.
This sounds like my .Mississippi grandpa. I never understood a word he said, Mom told me to mimic what he did. If grandpa smiled, I was to smile, if he looked angry I needed to look sad. That deep Delta tongue was hard to understand.

As soon as Goodman confesses and he wins the case, Suel is able to speak just fine. "I rest my case!"

@The Anthropologist _Forensic that is SOOO cooool!! I would have been so star struck! It's so nice when celebrities embrace their fans, and treat them as equals. I understand they can't do that with everyone all the time (there are stalkers) but how neat is it when they are nice to you. I met Rick Ross at the airport, and he took a picture with me and my mom....oh and Steven King at a book signing. Both were very nice
Molly was and is my crush
@The Anthropologist _Forensic Seth, a jerk? You don't say?
Kattan was brilliant. He, Oteri, and Meadows are underappreciated.
