I can just picture Farely giving Norm a giant bearhug when he greeted him at the pearly gates.
Awww
That’s a lovely thought.
@@Keaks_ it's the truth.
Chris and Norm are funny as hell, so they actually went to hell.
Only those who believe in the Lord Jesus make it there. I know Norm MacDonald confessed Christ.
That audience was so much volleyball.
Mr Dictionary
What happen im not wearing my 👓
Who are you? The mighty Thor?
You’re a book filled with word meanings.
I like how they realize that their sketch is bombing and they don't give a damn, just roll with it.
In an interview Norm said that he wrote it and he made it bad on purpose because it was the last sketch Farley and Sandler were in before they needed to leave the show.
This aired in Season 20, They were probably used to Sketches bombing
@@JustinCoasters they weren't on it for 20 years just because it's season 20, it was pre filmed anyway so it's not like they improvised on the spot due to audience reaction
@@commentperson9036 I doubt it was pre-filmed. Also Season 20 was a well know BAD year for the show.
@@commentperson9036 cry and nitpick more ffs
This sketch was the last sketch that Chris Farley and Adam Sandler were in before they left the show.
Gibson42a they were fired from the show, they didn't leave at their choice
it wasn't a sketch
@@kiertavasirkus really??
@@ianrjm969 yes
Ha. You think you’re so smart. MR. Dictionary.
Funny thing, Norm wrote this for the season finale, as a way of killing himself and his friends off the show, cause they all thought the were about to be fired. But Farley, Sandler, and Mohr were the only ones the got the can
@Dougie J the same way most people on the internet do; by pulling it outta their arse
well....i didn't know you wanted in on the discussion mr. helper . you talked to norm huh ? aren't you a big shot . shut up.
@@lyricmannixon1793 why are you so angry? 🤣
@@lyricmannixon1793 Found the Kinison fan!
@@lyricmannixon1793 lmao why u so mad?? 😂
"Like so much volleyball" has been stuck in my head for years. This skit wasn't a crowd pleaser, it was purely for the writers/actors.
Nothing from that season was a crowd pleaser.
I think the season did have one truly great sketch that I can think of, the sketch where Chris Farley is somehow put on a Japanese Game Show and only knows English was from the 94-95 season, but it was early in the season before Mike Myers quit the show. Also the Zagat's sketches were from this season.
It was a swan song. This was the season finale and all the actors were fired in the offseason.
Just the assholes in the audience that night didn't like this
How is that Ironic?
Mr. Dictionary.
This is so McDonald. Ridiculous non sequiturs and literally no punchline.
A lot of sketches in season 20 were like that. It was a bad time for the show.
@@canaisyoung3601 Not all jokes need punchlines.
@@zztopz7090 This one did. It doesn't work as a sketch.
Trumpdumper don the con shut up
@Trumpdumper don the con thats the idea
The fact that they're playing caricatures of themselves makes this even better.
what are you talking about? David just said it wasn't a sketch and was real
Look at Farley almost crack up after Norm says polar Gaige
3:01
4:04 - ...and Norm flat out laughing when Farley says it just right.
I love how Chris Farley made Norm laugh before he jumped in. Farley was just hilarious with great energy.
cocaine
@@criztu the only one that is always sweating lol
@@criztu It's from 1995, so Chris is clean and sober at this point.
@@fetchmeastorm3670 no sorry --- Chris was pretty heavy into coke in '95
@@fredwerza3478 According to his official biography, Chris stayed clean and sober for three years straight, '93 through '96.
This sketch was more of a comment, really.
Yeah, okay Mr. Dictionary.
You both sound racist.
Who wrote this? Did you write this sketch?
Dude wtf lmao the interent that you know of did not exist during this time.
This comment was pretty much a full sketch.
This has to be written by Norm, right? He probably laughed his ass off. Making them all be in the worst sketch ever.
Um, have you seen the Alec Baldwin\trump skits? Worst of all time.
@@benbaer4697 Nah, Trump is a dumbass anything bringing that to light can't be the worst.
@@JustinR941 Are you sure you understand the meaning of the word "worst?"
@@JustinR941 I'm not sure that's true.
@@JustinR941 You should follow your own advice
One of the most brilliant sketches ever. A huge middle finger.
Written by Norm for those with the same absurdist sense of humor as Norm, which is a lot of us. "I've gotta say I'm sick of you, and I'm sick of that polar bear. I'm going in."
This sketch hits so much harder now that Norm and Chris are no longer with us.
WHAT?! FARLEY TOO? OH NO, MAN!
Farley? I didn't even know he was sick.
@@gibicaseiro8497 Farley passed away in 1997.
@@bhunt799 Gibi and Eric were propably born after 1997, so it's understandable they didn't get the memo :)
@@epicon6 That could be true.
Such a funny sketch. The audience not laughing makes it even funnier.
They’re bombing on purpose because of how cut throat SNL was and still is. This was their way of saying, “Goodbye!” and “Good riddance!”
It actually wasn’t SNL that was the problem, it was the execs and higher ups at NBC.
I thought it was because SNL's 20th season was one of their seasons that was so bad that NBC was seriously considering canceling the show (see also: Jean Doumanian's sixth season in 1980 and season 11 where Lorne Michaels actually had Joan Cusack, Robert Downey, Jr., Anthony Michael Hall, Randy Quaid, and a pre-In Living Color Damon Wayans as cast members) and the writers decided, "Hey, let's kill off the male cast members. Nobody will care because we won't be on next season."
@@canaisyoung3601if they were considering cancelling back then, why the hell haven't they cancelled it yet? Oh yeah... They still need to push the woke agenda.
@@themonsterunderyourbed9408
A wise man if ever I've seen one. I'm sure the world would be a much better place if they the Elon Musk episode over again and again every week!
Maybe (if the break from the familiar doesn't startle the anto-woke crowd too much) they can even try dubbing in a few bonus racial slurs for special occasions and replace the ending credits with photos of dead refugees intercut with soyjacks and rare pepes.
I would say no need to credit me, but that would be intellectual communism and therefore "woke".
Coming here after Norm's passing. Such crushing news man. This sketch just became emotional. He's gonna be up there with Farley now.
Yup, the polar bear has them now
Have you seen Norms Corona virus sketch? It kills.
yea, okay Mr. Dictionary
At least Norm and Farley are together forever
For real Rajith💯
Crazy, this was their way of leaving the show.
Considering how much people wanted them gone by that season, this may have been a surreal format of self depreciation.
Because this season was widely derided for it's poor quality, the "Bad Boys" (as they're famously referred to) being the main source of it- there was a definite feeling they were becoming, metaphorically, fat, dumb, and happy when it came to their sketch writing and acting. Many sketches were one note, repetitive jokes that rarely landed. Norm is one of the only exceptions, his Weekend Update being one of the only positives of the season.
Tim Meadows was still on years later. Until recent years (do they have tenure now?) he had one of the longest SNL careers ever. But yeah, this seemed like Adam and Chris's farewell to the show since they were starting their movie careers.
The polar bear killed the remaining talent of the show... literally.
Not literally, metaphorically.
Just dont use that word. Its clear nobody knows how to use it.
@@michaelsrite822 Okay Mr. Dictionary
Haven't seen the rest of that season, have you? It was a mercy killing. XD
After Farley left, I didn’t watch entire episodes regularly anymore. For a while I’d tune in and just be disappointed shortly after the cold openings, which gradually became the peak highlight of the shows. Then when they’d drag unfunny skits into the ground repeatedly, like the cheerleader skits in the late 90s, I would just turn off the TV for the night.
Thankfully I moved away from dial-up since then, so if a rare modern skit happens to be funny, I can just watch it and not endure the rest of the show. Or I can just pull up the good old known classics whenever they happen to re-release them. (Please bring back more Eddie Murphy, Dana Carvey, Phil Hartman, Chris Farley, et al online SNL!)
Except Norm... He doesn't have any talent.
This was how they "killed themselves off the show". Just like writers do all the time with your favorite characters to your favorite show(s). No difference. This was thier very last episode on SNL. So once you get that, then you understand the skit lol. *shrugs*
They did not know they were fired yet
@@JRAFF145 .....I'm sure the writing was on the wall.
Yes this was their middle finger on the way out. Its been discussed publicly, Norm gave no fucks!
You're a perfect example of the old saying "those who can't, teach."
Cept.....Tim Meadows remained on the show for several more seasons.
You can see Norm really enjoyed Chris and Adam. The way Chris cracked Norm and Adam up was really sweet to see. RIP Norm and Chris, 2 comedy icons forever.
Honestly, the lack of a laugh track makes this funnier.
@Ryan McFarlane Yeah this one was a little too funny for the moronic live audience. Me at home as a 15 year old, I was fucking losing my shit
@@teddypantbongaram2865 Yeah, it's like comedy all stars up there. Farley + Sandler + Norm = magical magic.
Hey OP moron. There never has been a laugh track at snl. They've always used a live audience.
I think he was joking.
@@teddypantbongaram2865 this is just wasn’t funny.
I think they should re-create this skit every time a cast member leaves the show.
Was like the end of the 3rd season give or take wherer there's a fire in the studio and the cast all dies except at the last second lorne runs in ad saves John Lovitz?
@@noneofyourbusiness43 it was actually the end of the 11th season; or as Madonna nicknames it: "a horrible, horrible dream" of a season.
I love that Norm was always sort of a loveable old man, even when he was barely 30. RIP Mr. Dictionary.
It is a differently viewed skit, now. Knowing Norm & Chris are now together... it's sad Norm's gone, but, knowing Chris(& Phil Hartman)was at the pearly gates saying: "What kept you, Mr. Dictionary?"makes me smile.
One of my favorite skits. So classic. RIP Farley and Norm, your comedy lives on forever!
I'm going thru all his SNL years too, such a shame man. Norm was great.
really this one?
@@rockmyballsplease Yeah, I guess it is nostalgia and there's some things that get funnier if you watch it multiple times. Farley is just so great here.
This sketch suked. Had funny people but it was bad, probably on purpose too
@@_Romans10.9_probably cause they knew it was their last skit together.
Explain to the folks at home what a polar bear is.
I was hoping he'd explain what a polar cage is.
Hold on I’ll grab my dictionary
Ok come on now, there’s no need to be filthy.
Why do we need to explain everything?! If someone explains what a polar bear is, I'm leaving! Best NML episode ever.
Hahahahahah
Alright. Now, on to I'm Not Norm videos and commenting Mr. Dictionary.
Sounds about right. Looking forward to reading them.
alright, Mr. Dictionary.
Hope to see you there :D
This is, hands down, my all-time favorite SNL sketch.
This sketch is brilliant also layered with inside jokes from the boys.
I like how there is absolutely no emotion in regards to their friends dying. Just the remaining friends cutting each other down.
It's so funny watching Norm trying to contain hysterical laughter watching Chris. 🤣🤣🤣
The second Farley put on this glasses, I was instinctively expecting something "van down by the river"-esque.
Rest In Peace Chris and Norm 😢 two comedy legends who left us too soon.
I know R.I.P 😔🥺 but at least they get to see each other again 🙏🏽
It all makes more sense when you realize the bear is a metaphor for Lorne Michaels.
Lol
And a metaphor for Jay Mohr's career.
Sandler says it was new execs who wanted him and Farley gone, and says Lorne didn't want them gone (Lorne seemed to specialize in saying he couldn't stop execs from doing things, judging from Norm's exit also)
I can watch Farley make Norm laugh 1000 times! Farleys lines before he jumps is so poignant! He went to any length for a good laugh and for the next beer! Such a haunted, talented and beautiful soul!
"Would you just put on your glasses? We shouldn't have to tell you every time the bear eats one of us."
Man, that audience is just about to go to a funeral.
It was a pretty bad sketch
Bad sketch, aye. Tim Meadows last words were kinda funny though
This would kill today tho, back then crowds were stiff as f*ck
Well, when the jokes are all dead...
@@kevinr.3542 nah this one is a dud, even the Beatles put out a song you can skip, it happens to all the greats.
After reading the comments I realized this is a metaphor for the entire show itself, and how people hear of what happens to others but jump in anyway enthusiastically, and still end up being eaten alive
This sounds exactly like my marriage!!
One of the rare instances when they used their own names in a sketch. Opening monologue, hallway bits and Weekend Update are pretty much it for actual names. The Chris Farley show is an exception.
Its such a awkward and hilarious sketch. I don't know how they didn't lose it every time Farley did his thing
One of the funniest and most underrated sketches in SNL history. Right up there with Dr. Poop.
"Well... You know what I'm gonna jump in there because I'm sure the bear is full by now. Then I'm gonna stick my finger down its throat and let it throw up at least one of my buddies... If the buddy that comes up is too digested already, I'll throw him back in! It's the perfect plan." LOL RIP Norm you will be missed
I don't care what anyone says, I LOVE this sketch!
Underrated sketch. I heard this was written because they all felt like they were about to be fired so they killed themselves off lol. Don't know if true but that's hilarious. God damn Farley was great!
Can't get enough of Chris Farley 😂😂😂😂
Hilarious. And Sandler, Farley and Jay Mohr didn't come back the next year? Norm and Tim Meadows survived a polar bear attack!
+Scott LaMont
I always thought Chris Farley died of a drug overdose. Now I know the truth.
Much like how Dennis Miller and Nora Dunn “survived” the 1985-86 cast fire (while Jon Lovitz was spared).
Tim Meadows was the one that got regurgitated and saved by Norm
@@bscrazycrew358 While Michael McKean and Chris Elliott (who weren’t in the skit) thought one season was enough.
And of course, Mike Myers and Kevin Nealon decided to move on after this season.
@@johnnyballenatl Ok Mr Dictionary
When Norm got to the Pearly Gates, Saint Peter said, "hmm, I don't see you on the list, Mister DICTIONARY."
Shocked I never saw this. Norm and Chris as the last 2 standing. . . Brilliant.
What better way to announce to the SNL audience...see ya!
Rest in Peace Norm. Truly a comedy legend.
As soon as Chris Farley puts on the glasses, he turns in to Matt Foley. lol
I feel Farley's "Adios" was him really saying goodbye to the show.
There is a level of brilliance to this.
There's a level of brilliance to everything
Without a doubt easily the best sketch of Saturday night live
RIP Norm and Chris Farley
2:20 mark is classic SNL of this era. Sandler drilling Farley was not in the script. They both have genuine chuckles over it. Love this shit. Then again at 3:04 "Polar Gage" Farley does his best not to lose it.
I thought one of them was supposed to fall or get pushed in there.
They entered the zoo and to the bear cage which is SNL. They fed their talent to it to the show going, and the bear kept eating them and finally finished them off. But after eating all the talent the bear is FED. A FED BEAR IS A DEAD BEAR!! Showing the SNL is dead after these talents are gone. Just my interpretation of Norm :)
One of my favorite skits!!
RIP NORM MACDONALD ♡
This sketch is hilarious why is the crowd not laughing
Because it was incredibly stupid?
Ok Mr. Dictionary
Norm: *"Hey hey Adam you go into that cage you know be careful, Cause uh that bears still in there!"* 🤣 RIP Norm and Chris.
Holy crap. Jay Mohr’s hair is……….something. Lmao.
Im surprised they used their real names. Oh , by the way Chris Farley was wasted.
You beat me to that comment.
Yeah, Chris was trying hard to make it funny, but idea of the sketch was tasteless. You're not going to get laughs about people being mauled to death and blood splattering everywhere. Damn, I miss Chris Farley. The last great slapstick comedian. No one can, or is, following in the footsteps of Oliver Hardy, Lou Costello, and John Candy.
@@josephconsoli4128 The polar bear was them all being fired from the show. It was a middle finger on their last day of work. It's a pretty great sketch in context.
Well, it was Farley
@@josephconsoli4128 I totally laughed at the sounds of them getting mauled to death and the blood splattering on completely indifferent faces
This actually got better in it's second viewing. This gets better after each viewing. High rewatchability
Friggin Hilarious 🤣
Who was REALLY the first one to jump into the polar bear's pool??
You guessed it- Frank Stallone!!!!
Wolfdragon92584
I don't get it???
@@rondy702 Check out Norm's Weekend Updates. Imnotnorm has a lot of videos of it as well. It's kind of a Norm MacDonald inside joke.
Or so the Germans would have you believe
That polar bear was a real jerk.
But not as bad as Mussolini
Great comedy of this type, at its peak, is literally like the 5 high school kids who all missed the bus after school and couldnt find rides home so they're all just standing there riffing and cracking on each other to pass the time until some car shows up to give them rides.
This type of great comedy is child-like.
Holy Lord, when Norm said a sketch could bomb on SNL, he wasn't kidding.
Norm macdonald always just plays himself
That's because his 3rd wish (to the genie) was to always play himself. He came really close to wishing for a giant pumpkin head.
Most overrated comic of the last 3 decades, by a country mile.
What the h?!?!
h d This man is for the birds!
@@hd-xc2lz i'll bet your reasoning has to do with politics.
RIP NORM. What a brilliant man
Chris, Adam, Tim & Norm - how I miss those days. My youth, Chris Farley, all of their sketch comedy... God Rest Your Soul Chris!
RIP Norm
This is the pinnacle of SNL and Norm MacDonald. I think about this sketch every single day of my life. I repeat the phrase "That bear ripped off his head like so much volleyball" every single day in my head, and then of course the immaculate reply "Like so much volleyball? Who are you, the Mighty Thor?" I don't know who wrote this one, but Its fucking insane how perfect every second of it is, and it couldn't have been that way without Norm playing the straight man.
I think you hit on something though. It's genuinely NOT FUNNY...it's just strange...but christ, do they do it service. I was not as familiar with this sketch as others on this thread, but it genuinely has me laughing, and asking "what did I miss?" - with zero expectations of an answer, cause that's Norm...and Chris...physical but cerebral...how fun to se..
How are they all not just laughing hysterically at this?!?!?
Jay Mohr's hair and Sandler saying arse gets me every time
“You’re very stupid Norm, but you know that.” As he jumps into a Polar Bear cage.
This sketch was meant as a send off for Farley, Sandler, Mohr, & Meadows, as Norm was the only one of them to be coming back for season 21. Meadows did get rehired after the fact, but this was Norm writing the most ridiculous send off for his friends at the end of the 1995 season. This is a time capsule of when SNL was amazing because while the writing might not have been great, the players involved made it amazingly funny. It was all downhill from here.
@Classicmoviefan92 That was when Colin Quinn was doing the Weekend Update, something that he was completely wrong for!
@@DreFromMaine8472I remember watching Colin do weekend update and I thought he was an awful comedian because of it. I was just a kid, but it was unfortunate that it tainted my view of him.
You are 100% correct about it being a terrible fit!
Everyone has their own opinion on which SNL season started "the end of SNL" and they're all wildly different.
Lol. I can just imagine all the laughter the staff was dealing with in the back room. Hahaha!
One of the greatest films of all time.
LOL @ 1:22
"You better hope that nickname doesn't stick; 'Mr Dictionary,' (insert cackle here)"
Hahahaha lmfao!👋🤣👍the way Chris Farley jump into the water cracked me up!👋🤣God rest ho soul!🙏
Man, this sketch is gonna be unbearable when Sandler goes.
What about Tim Meadows?
Unpolarbearable, MR. DICTIONARY!
Poor Jay
@@idiotidiot5821 you deserve the likes 😂💜
Boy, David Duchovney looked and sounded like he just didn't give a fuck and that he would rather have been anywhere but there, hahahahah!
All throughout high school I said like so much volleyball, but forgot where it came from. Lol. Chris Farley is my favorite SNL cast member. RIP.
Rest in peace Mr. Dictionary
I remember watching this live on TV as a child and it stuck with me forever cuz it was so funny!
And nobody comments on the sign after Norm jumps in and says do not feed the animals😂😂😂😂
Classic fuckin skits from the best SNL generation
1:15 Rip the both of them
Only 40 seconds in and can already tell this a classic sketch, I'm surprised I've never encountered it before
same.
R.I.P. Norm Macdonald October 17, 1959 - September 14, 2021 SNL Cast Member, Weekend Update Anchor, Writer, Actor and Stand-Up Comedian. We will miss you! 🤣😃😪😥😥😪
brilliant sketch
norm is a legend
I can't stop watching this skit....the more I watch it, the more I laugh at it.
The way Chris Farley screams can be enough to make me crack up, but this bit is also absurd in a dark and satisfying way 🤪
Rest in peace, Mister Dictionary...
Without you, words have no meaning.
😥
3:58 farleys little laugh cracks me up!
Oh man I love it. Watching a young Norm jump over that handrail like so much spry young manliness.
Which reminds me, you ever notice Gary Oldman is a young man?
And 15 days younger than Gary numan.
I noticed Henny Youngman is an old man.
And Sarah Silverman is a woMAN
Can you imagine the fun Norm and Chris are having up there? God bless them❤
Phil John etc
"up there" that assuming allot.
I can’t believe the lack of laughter, this sketch is fucking hilarious
I miss you mr. Dictionary :(
I love this sketch... what a way for the “boys club” to exit the show 😂 speaking of polar bears I love David Spades monologue about the man jumping into the bear pit at the zoo
This is my all time FAVORITE SNL sketch! It's so dumb yet brilliant!
I'm so glad it popped up on my algorithm!🤣🤣
