I love Kevin Nealons smug demeanor when he say "Brocktoon". He already knows everyone will love the nickname
Cousin to phantoon
It _is_ a very good nickname.
He knows Brocktoon is straight up cash
@@mathewalden9277 Spoken like a man that would kill Brocktoon and then masturbate after
That wasn’t a smug demeanor. Were you even watching the video? Watch his face. Tf is wrong with you?
The delivery of "NAY! The "nays" have it, he lives, but the vote shouldn't have been that close." is genius and may be Tom Hanks' greatest performance.
Phil Hartman played the ultimate psychopath perfectly. So talented.
What he exhibited was not psychopathy (what psychopaths have, formally called Antisocial Personality Disorder), but schizophrenia. Schizophrenics usually have delusions and hallucinations, and psychopaths basically don't have a conscience, so they infringe on the rights of others.
He was great. I really miss Phil
He did marry a psychopath who unfortunately murdered him though.
We were robbed when he was killed.
@@mpm1125 one of the most shocking moments in showbiz history
This sketch is included as a bonus feature on one of the Mr. Belvedere DVD box sets.
Fan club member here^
Haha! No way! That is hilarious!
“The nays have it. He lives!”
The casual delivery of that line had me rolling.
"...but the vote should not have been that close!"
"He is one of a kind and I think about him all the time. Well I'm wondering, should we kill him?"
"For god sakes, no!"
"We usually vote, Mr. Chairman." 🤣😂🤣😂
I wonder, "Should we kill him?" Fucking hilarious delivery by the late great Chris Farley
He died of liver cancer.
This is a pretty accurate representation of a lot of fan clubs.
No, fan clubs are creepier.
And Internet fandoms
really? I wouldn't know.
And cults
The beauty is how Phil is in character and looking crazy from the first second. A lesser cast member would wait until their closeup to be “on.”
He really was the greatest.
The cast at that time was spectacular
This is my era of SNL. Everyone says that.... but seriously this was the best era. This and In Living Color, was a good night for TV.
5:13 High point of an already-great sketch. Brilliant writing, brilliant acting. “To tear the flesh, to _wear_ the flesh…” LOL
6:22 Also, nice touch: the stand-up comic’s breath _is_ fogging up the glass! Doug was right!
Such a nice little touch that Tim Meadows's breath fogs up the glass jar at the end, as foreshadowed by Chris Farley.
Probably my favorite SNL bit. It's so weird and twisted!
I mean normal! It's totally normal! It's a totally normal and perfectly appropriate tribute to Mr. Belvedere. ❤️
Yeah, who wrote this!
I *should* want to like Mr. Spreitzer's comment. I *shouldn't* want to... cut into him...
@@jsf209 Good question? Its creepy enough to be Micheal O Donohue, but wrong era.
You mean Brocktoon.
@@douglaslowe5 Jack Handey? Most of the time I find out my favorite sketches from this era were Jack Handey.
Phil Hartman was just the best
This sketch is so full of legends.
well his wife knew him best and she disagreed so i'm gonna default to her on this one
@@lunchbag_larry well his wife murdered him so..... She may not be credible
Agreed
I miss him so much man. Everytime I watch a Simpsons episode he was in , these SNL clips, or small soldiers , it's all the more devastating what he was taken so cruelly by his own wife no less
I like how being a member of the Mr. Belvedere Fan Club qualifies you for a handicap spot.
Is that legal?
There shouldn't be handicapped spaces
@@KimberlyBishh OK Karen.
I forgot how insane this sketch is. Good stuff.
It's so sad/scary/funny/lonely that so many fandoms are like this exactly, and they usually experience it alone. At least these guys have each other. 😆
And for things this mediocre.
The vote shouldn't have to be that close 😂
Like the 2020 election.
Biden baby✊
@@meflove YEAH DEMENTIA!!! Right?!?
@@meflove If Biden wasn't also a horrible candidate it wouldn't have been that close.
Almost spat my dinner out at that part 🤣
About what is the best SNL sketch? Agreed
5:11 "I, I should just want to cook him a simple meal. But I shouldnt want to........ cut into him; to tear the flesh, to wear the flesh; to be born unto new worlds where his flesh becomes the key."
There's NOBODY better than Phil Hartman.
@@rogerbrodniak5644 r.i.p. to the legend
Only Phil Hartman could have pulled off that line so perfectly.
Disturbing line
LMAO 🤣 🤣 🤣
Legendary cast members in one sketch right there....oh and Tom Hanks.
This should have millions of views. Always fun to find a hidden SNL gem.
I appreciate that this skit had a real funny premise, had a strange twist on reality, some really funny lines, but most of all... had an actual ending instead of just running out of gas.
Now crazy fans interact with each other on the internet.
Hopefully that results in fewer people in jars.
"Now"? More like steadily for at least the past 26 years.
@@krewgarr Fans interacting on the internet dates back to Usenet newsgroups, which were established in 1980.
The monologue Chris Farley starts at 1:59 shows his talent as an actor.
This is such an insane sketch that's right in my humor wheelhouse, terrible crowd but maybe they weren't down for the absurd at that time
I know this sketch was an instant classic to me and my circle of friends at the time. Plus, I actually LIKED the show Mr. Belvedere, so that made it extra funny.
I think it’s a bad crowd night. You’d figure they’d be in a good mood based off Tom Hanks alone. Every line of this is hilarious.
@@NoellaScott This is super dark humor. Really was not the style at the time of 1992. I don't exactly find this gut-busting now either. But I do admire how well-written it is.
I remember loving this sketch the night it aired, and I would have been around 10 or so.
Chris Farley's character is making fun of Jody Foster's stalker.
@@pashadyne Yes but it's still a reference to John Hinckley Jr.
And I like to think Phil Hartmans character is a homage to Buffalo Bill from silence of the lambs.
One of the best SNL skits of all time.
I like that it’s “The Man Who Plays Mr. Belvedere Fam Club” but that no one says his actual name. I also remember this was when SNL had good skits after the news.
Because no one in the audience would know him by his real name. Mr. Belvedere hadn't even been airing new episodes for 2 years by this time.
That's what makes it even MORE absurd. Are they fans of Mr. Belvedere, the CHARACTER??? Or Christopher Hewett. Granted...the people in this fan club are not likely very acquainted wtih the difference between actors and their characters....
Thank you, Soren and Daniel for reminding me of this comedic gold.
That is why i am here!
3:18 a "dig" at Jodie Foster (the object of obsession of super-fan and attempted assassin John Hinckley Jr.) who at the time was rumored to be gay but had not confirmed it.
TY! I can't believe I didn't put that together! This sketch just keeps on giving!
This is in my top-3 SNL sketches of all time. It's so brilliant. (Did Smigel write this one? Probably Tom Hanks, Conan O'Brien, and others in the crew had a hand, too.) I start laughing before it even begins, when you see the concept and name of the club. Then, when it does start, it's very 'WTF??" for the first two minutes or so. But once Farley finishes his aimless comment, the laughs start coming fast and furious. I lose my sh** with Tom's, "He lives! But the vote shouldn't have been that close!" every time. And possibly the funniest moment in SNL history is Phil Hartman's psychotic ramble about "to wear the flesh.... so that his flesh becomes my key", complete with that moment when he finishes speaking and suddenly shifts his eyes to the side. Tim Meadows' sober outrage at the end is the capper.
Pure genius start to finish, and the best satire of cult-like, obsessive fan-worship in the structure of rationality that I have ever seen.
According to Fred Wolf, this was the first sketch he got on the air as a writer for SNL.
@@ianwallace3082 Oh, thanks! I didn't know Fred Wolf wrote it.
@@ianwallace3082 I am now a member of the Fred Wolf Fan Club.
By 1992 O'Brien had left SNL for The Simpsons.
I love that this sketch ends like a David Lynch short film
I miss 90's SNL so much.
To tear the flesh... to wear the flesh.
A little Ed Gein for you.
And to be born into new worlds where his flesh becomes my key.LMFAO!!!
@@michaelparylak5649 The nays have it and it shouldn't have been that close!
Buffalo Bobs cousin Belvederes butcher...
@@michaelparylak5649 Mr. Belvedere's flesh is the key to all of this.
adam sandler all quiet and random "the man who rides alone." haha
They all reflect some broken part of themselves. I'm unsure what Brocktooon stems from.
EL STINKMEISTER being some kind of deranged cat lady "cutesy" clever thing for a cat... like "Mr peppers"
@@tonyteiger3514 It just sounds like a name a child would make up if he was told to make up a name for a character on the spot. Like when Homer Simpson came up with the fake name Joey Jo-Jo Junior Shabadoo.
@@tonyteiger3514brocktoon= brockton ma. That part of mass is ephraim. Aka salem. Its where BEL derives
@@jedijonesa child huh? Almost like when christ asked children to gather by him. Christ is ba’al if you havent figured this out yet. Kill him and wear his skin” alot of these jokes in this skit went over your head if you missed why they called him brock toon
Now I recall , thru the medicinal haze .... where I got my Nephew Brock’s nick name
It’s been nagging at me over three decades. 🤘
Chris: I’m wondering, should we kill him?
Hank: For God sakes no!!!!
😂😂😂 I died
“Uh, we usually vote, Mr. Chairman.” 😂😂
One of my all time favorite skits from SNL.
This sketch is gold and I had not even seen it before now.
and this is exactly why good bodyguard services for celebs cost so much
The lack of cue card reading takes this perfect 100 to somehow another incredible level. Even Tom kept it subtle.
Still miss Phil Hartman. His characters are sorely missed on The Simpsons and he was an underrated actor. He really was great at playing demented characters (Sprockets).
Mike Myers played Sprockets. Otherwise, I agree with everything you wrote.
@@FatalChaz33 Hartman played crazy characters on Sprockets. The one I remember the most was him playing a woman saying "house on fire house on fire"
@@FatalChaz33 Hartman played a very unattractive German transvestite on Sprockets.
to be born into new worlds where his flesh becomes my key
SNL was among Tom Hank's best work, he had a true comedic flair
The first Mr. Short Term memory was best and hard to find.
Had?
@@DCfromBC RIP
This and Sabra Price is Right. Tom Hanks always knocks the sketches out of the park.
IS Sony guts!
disco disco, good good. wish i could watch that one.
Is Zohan guts.
One of the best sketches ever in anything
Nice of Chris to let the new guy in on the mood, what a welcoming group
I was thinking about the funniest thing I've ever seen, and forgot about this. I don't know how it's not recognised as one of the best SNL sketches ever. My old best friend and I had never laughed so hard, and it still holds up all these decades later.
Agreed and the Forte Sudeikis NASA sketch would be a close second.
Ummm...because there are MANY other sketches that are better than this?? Of course, "best" is awfully subjective. This is weird....but probably not "best".
This sketch stayed with me for decades until CZcams came into existence. Brocktoon!
NO ONE LAUGHED AT THE WINE AND CAT FOOD JOKE?!?!?! Man how times have changed.
Terrible crowd
My name’s Brock. If I ever start an animated production company, I will call it “Brock Toon”
When you do, you need to produce "The Animated Adventures of Brock Lesnar".
@@chim-choo-ree suggestion noted. However, not a big fan of his personality. Think the cartoon would be a dud
Like
You would likely run into copyright problems. A tattoo shop in our town called themselves Wayne's World Tattoos, shortly thereafter changed to Wayne's World OF Tattoos.
This is one of my alltime favorite snl skits. Gosh I miss Phil.
Tim Meadows' breath fogging up the glass is a pretty excellent call back.
Mr. Belvedere: We made My Two Dads look like Empty Nest
I don't get it.
@@jedijones Late 80s/early 90s mediocre television.
Damn this like a Mr Show sketch! Love it
Was Bob Odenkirk writing in this era? I'm too lazy to google.
@@mrconancat i think this was written by Adam McKay
@@samchampionlives I like the cut of his jib.
@@mrconancat Fred Wolfe wrote it.
This is one of the few SNL skits that I still think about. So odd and hilarious. One of the best.
I feel like a dope for apparently missing this episode back then even though I was in high school then and a huge fan of this cast. 😭 Unless I forgot this, I never saw it until today.
I never thought about the connection with Jodie Foster. Amazing comment... Hinckley's attempted assassination of Reagan was in 81 and The Silence of the Lambs premiered in 91. This was performed in 1992.
Misery came out in 1990 and the sitcom star Rebecca Schaeffer was killed by a deranged fan in 1989.
I forgot all about this sketch. Laughed way more than the audience did.
I was actually in the Mr Belvedere Fan Club.
I wasn't even a big fan of the show, and I played outside most days. We didn't have cable so we had like 4 channels.
Anyway, must have been a rainy day and I was watching it and seen the info for the fan club, got an envelope and ask for a few $ to join.
JRE and the Black Keys brought me here. This is amazing.
3:38 "the votes shouldn't have been that close"
well we all learn a little something about our fellow "classmates" at some time or other
Ahh... the comedy stylings of Mr. Fred Wolf.
I wonder if Christopher Hewett ever saw this. And if so did he double up on security?
Phil Hartman's face from 1:59 until the end of Farley's speech, when he gives that psycho "Mayyyybe?!" quick take turn is the quintessence of character commitment.
One of my favorite skits ever! Thanks for posting this 😂
I randomly thought if this the other day ...it's funny the more obscure snl sketches are starting to make the rounds now...
The immediate subtle Brocktoon callback is so funny to me
I like how Sandler also wanted kill mr. Belvedere and Hartman's face when Chris suggested it is priceless
I love that there's no climax it just gets more and more extreme and funny
6:02 Chris Farley almost breaks character 😂.
2:30 serious Mark David Chapman vibes there. 😳
HOW HAVE I NEVER SEEN THIS. IM IN LOVE WITH MR.BELEVEDERE
I love that Tom started the fan club and the crazies just instinctively latched onto it. Any fan community starts with noble, normal intentions (usually). But always get taken over by absolute psychopaths just because of their sheer force of will. Don't wanna make brocktoons skin into a key to new worlds? Sounds like a you problem pal.
This is the greatest snl sketch of all time.
Hyperbole, anyone?
Just looking at this cast is a delight ❤👏👏👏
Wow I had not seen this sketch until now. It's brilliant.
People get freaky! It's amazing how the Tom Hanks character is the sane guy in the room.
One of the BEST skits ever.
Ultimate cast!
6:00 I love how Chris grimaces anticipating disapproval at the end of his statement. He was such a great natural actor.
😂It's crazy I actually remember this one when
it came out, the part at the end when he says,
"should we kill em?" 😂 That brought it all back😂
Capture moment of SO many new Stars on SNL.
Nailed it.
This HAS to be a Jack Handy sketch.
Various sources say it was written by Fred Wolf.
Ahhh I love the show mr Belvedere my favourite show
One of my all-time favorite sketches. Phil Hartman's unhinged Lovecraftian psycho is sublime! *CHA'ALT*
Tom Hanks is the reason I've watched this over 30 times..It wouldn't have been nearly as funny if it were someone else.
I remembered a skit where a guy ended up in a jar... Then I came across the "Mr. Belvedere Fan Club" reference on a Norm MacDonald interview... Glad I checked it out...
...Ever think about the fact that this sketch inadvertently predicted the Rainbow Dash Jar?
What a cast 🙌🏼
Because of the greatness of this sketch, I’ll name my firstborn Brocktoon.
underrated sketch, I've been a fan of Brocktun since I saw this one live years ago
As a huge Mr Belvedere fan myself, I found this very disturbing. ;) 😂
Maybe you should do the exercises
I should like to write him a letter telling him how much I loved his back and forth with Bob uecker. I shouldn't want to watch him read it while naked and holding a knife to Bobs neck...
I never saw this sketch before. Hilarious.
I love this!
Chris Farley making the guests laugh live lol
Probably the greatest thing ever
The skit is pure gold
Rest in peace, Christopher Hewett.
*Christopher "Brocktune" Hewett
The Norm McDonald story on Howard Stern about Bob Uecker describing Christopher Hewitt was hilarious.
Sandler had me laughing.
Adam Sandlers Norm McDonald interview brought me here
me too
Is that the story about Bob Uecker on Howard Stern? I love that one.
The one where he talks about the time Christopher Hewitt sat on his own balls during a rehearsal?
One of my favorite SNL skit. So weird. Really dated now since most people don't know who Mr. Belvedere was.
I did too.
I do,
the butler
Doesn't matter, can be any celebrity obsession.
In terms of predicting fandom, it was prescient
@@williamshelton4318 It’s Christopher Hewitt, and the show was basically an 80s rip off of A Family Affair.
Fred Wolf’s SnL writing debut!
Awesome to hear the story behind it on Carvey and Spade’s podcast!
