I remember when Arizona was the only state not to recognize Martin Luther King day.
Comedian Chris Rock said, “how racist do you have to be to not want a day off from work with pay?”
Never got that day off with pay, but I did see a half black man only get half the day off. Lol
@@stephenhodson9459 lol wuuuut
I think Chris Rock said that.
@@macmacreynolds8712 , I believe you are 100% correct!
I thought that was Alabama?
The speed and grace of Sandler noticing the black guy behind him and switching gears literally makes this whole skit XD
Old school style sandler is untouchable. Id love a billy madison or happy gilmore 2
best is hey here's a wallet oh there's cash in it.
Lies again? Moscow Love King
Lol yep 🤣
You're joking right? Adam barely got his lines out when entering the scene.
He admits he's no actor. You must be high, or a totally idiot
"You're not jazzin' me, are ya?" That line delivery with his dropped expression got me. Lol
FACTS!
jazz, get it? get it?
classic sandler. "you lucky bastards" LMAO
Seriously that was the funniest line in the sketch!
They made a mistake firing him.
“I’ll make a call and rustle up one more ticket”
“You’re not jazzin’ me are ya?” 😂
if only Sandler would stay in his voice and not migrate to falsetto singing and speaking
"I got rid of all those Kwanzaa books everybody gave me." That line is too freaking funny
Just from your name here I knew I would see a guy w an acoustic guitar 🎸 nothing against it but the whole emo songs and read alongs isn't that super dark and sad?? My kids went thru that phase and when ppl my age did we were called goth we were emo w some violent tendencies lol 😆
I dream of the day when people of all colors can just go to Atlantic City and get drunk together
I don't believe that's how it goes but good dream anyways. :)
I may not get there with you.
*On MLK day
Ill drive lets go! Lol
There’s a lot to do here!!!
“Hey uh I went in on that so that’s kinda from both of us.” Lmfao
That's sooo Adam S.
Lol love adam sandler
Yo man how you doin brotha.... stayin motivated I hope.... 💯
😂
I'm gonna remember that one. LOL
Sandler was so good. The way he was like no seriously and turns his head and immediately says but that speech thing sounds good too
With nary a pause nor change in tone.
This sketch was ahead of its time
Ahead of it’s time? I don’t think they could pull this off now with the ever increasing cultural melting pot of a cast anymore. I’m glad SNL is changing with the times but a lot of folks are not about that at all.
No, it wasn't. Shit just never changes.
@@aaronburratwood.6957 Agreed
You're so right
Sadly racism and the comedy of it has lasted for centuries.
An amazing glimpse into a dimly remembered past, An era when a laptop computer had the mass of six modern laptops bolted together.
May we never forget the struggle... of carrying such a thing
@@annagrace4226 Amen to that, Anna Grace! Don't ever let The Man sell you a used Dell or Commodore computer! Tote that keyboard, lift that monitor!
@@TheStockwell 😂😂😂
@TheStockwell Eh, more like 2-4 times the weight. I have a mid-90s laptop next to me at the moment. Although I'm sure this doesn't help the case for them being lightweight.
Hell PCMCIA cards were beefier than most phones
“Got any more tickets?”
“No we snagged the last two”
“You lucky bastards!”
🤣😂😅
Jeff Daniels is highly underrated.
Because of winn Dixie
He can too!
He should get more love!
@R C We don’t think he can act. We know he can.
As Is Tim Meadows! The Ladiesman is comedy GOLD, A true classic.
Back when the actors on SNL didn't stare at cue cards off-stage for the entire sketch.
Steve W haven't watched SNL for many years and may their producer catch Gonnorhea and burn in hell.
@Steve W. THIS. I don’t know why they do that
@@AugustusFloop Almost every actor since 1975 have used cue cards. They're using them here - some timestamps below. You just don't notice because of the old, small stage. They moved to the current stage in 2003, which is like twice the size of the original.
So the people with cue cards probably went from standing 10 feet away in 1975, to twenty or even more in 2003 with a lot more cameras in the way. I'm guessing they went from being able to stand pretty much where an actor's line of sight should be, to being stationary where ever they fit. Some people couldn't even read them before which probably got them booted off - like Farley. Nearsighted, dyslexic and color blind. He couldn't read them at all and did improve, which often didn't end well - like when Spade almost abandoned the sketch in the van by the river sketch. So most people use the cards, even if just to help them.
Timestamps:
0:16 - he reads his line right from a card and only looks away to interact with the scene at the end
0:38 - Daniels looks past Elliot offscreen for 2 seconds, right before his line
1:40 - Sandler's eyes keep darting away from them to his right, and even his head moves a bit
1:48 - Daniels looks over Sandler's head for a couple seconds
And I'm tired of looking, but it's easy with it full screen and top resolution. The skit is great, but they do use cue cards quite often. Meadows seems to be the only one who memorized them, which I don't understand how, considering how fast and rushed the writing process is.
@@Cris-em9tn Long answer for something I wasn't asking lol. The OP is referring to actors facing the front camera the entire time instead of facing each other like here
They did
Not only is Tim Meadows one of the most underrated comic actors ever, but he was a good lookin’ dude back in the day!
Ok “Tyler Gear” aka Tim Meadows’ burner CZcams account...
@@friendlyfrog8837 I wish I had that sweet, sweet improv money
@@TG-ld8hl Lol! Nice. 👌
Well he is The Ladies Man
He looked good in his Shirt In A Can
Jeff Daniels' mullet flying around like Kelsey Grammer's. Ah, the mid '90s.
Looks like a friggin hippy.
He looks like the real father of the Home Improvement kids
Not a mullet
@@morgangrant5180 Chris elliott rocks the shit out of a mullet in Schitt's Creek tho
@@morgangrant5180 close enough
You could see that ending coming a mile away, but still funny.
I saw it Km away
The Quanza books tho 😂😂😂
I didn't see the end coming but he had a smirk on his face the whole time so I was wondering what was up 😂 I'm dumb though
😂😂😂 swear to God I didn't
Facts 😂
“Ya not jazzin me are ya” lmaooo
This is an underrated scene. You can tell the crowd was too uncomfortable to laugh 😂
It was the season ('94-'95) that was terrible and the crowds weren't laughing much.
SNL crowds usually sound like this making good jokes feel flat all the time. This is why I preferred Mad tv back in the day
@@DV-ou1yu ...don't you mean _In Living Color_ ? lol
you can do what you wanna do
@terryq5150 ...& that is the answer to what? 😜
@@favoritemustard3542 ??? Nope, I meant Mad tv in its prime.
"I can do what I wanna do?" You sound hurt....but about what???
I've never met anyone who treated mlk day like a holiday😆
it is one. i just celebrated it.
@@marcyfan 😮💨 I know its a holiday. I was saying, its not a gift giving, parade style, or barbeque and fireworks type of holiday. Its more like Presidents day. People just either dont go to work or they sign up to get that overtime.
Same
@marcyfan I did to
This one was so funny and they did a pretty good job of hiding their guilt. Jeff Daniels is one of my favorite people on this planet!
Bluff
And Chris Elliott
@@philosophicalactions9376 That's who that is!, I always recognize him but can never remember the name. He is one of my favorites. His part as the cameraman in (Groundhog Day) was so good too!
@@velikovskysghost yes indeed but did you see Cabin Boy?
And the little hand guy from Scary Movie LOL
Not only does this skit not get old, it's more true today than ever lol
Lol
True? How?
@@gmmakesmehurl white guilt at an all time high
@@brownjatt21 Right right. I got that.
I was thinking king how black people actually feel that way
This shit was perfectly written. Resolve and unexpected ending
*skit
Who wrote it?
I was wondering the same. I would guess Franken, Downey or Smigel. @@haydenguenther14
I don’t care how old this skit is, those laptops are ridiculous.
@Asher Schmutz If I could get a whole room full of them, I would be very happy. '90s laptops are awesome. What did you not like about them?
@@inspectorlunge3887 Don't worry about Asher. Those look like Mac PowerBooks 100 Series. I just sold my 165c on eBay. Such cool machines!
If you like those , you should see the ones we had in the 80s seriously like carrying a small suit case around
Pull the front off to get the key board and use the handle as a stand to prop it up they were awesome with their 5 inch screens lol
White people still dont care
And..they were about 10 times the price you paid for your most current one.
I forgot about this one, Tim Meadows had a bunch of great one-off sketches. That Weatherman one was awesome too.
Princess and the Homeboy
I didn’t realize the mayor of Schitt’s Creek was on SNL!
His daughter was on it for a bit too. Chris Elliot is great. First saw him in "There's Something About Mary."
@@Swanny2294 oh, who’d he play in that film. I love it
Wow people are so young. Look up "Get A Life" one of the first shows ever on FOX...
Chris Elliott has been around forever
I forgot he was in There's Something About Mary. I always remember him from Scary Movie 2 lol. And How I Met Your Mother (Lily's dad)
I am just mesmerized by the laptops....and I owned one just like it. Best 3K I ever spent. 🤣
brah u know its ancient times...when the lappy looks like a briefcase...lolz
That thing will heat up your sandwich like a mothereffer!
Saw the first portable computers. To large to call laptops. Weighed 50 pounds, and had less memory and storage than your cellphone, with a screen not much bigger than a smart phone. And they cost over $5,000.
I still have one of those from 1995 in my basement. Windows 95 still on it. Except the floppy disk got warped and no longer works.
i wrote my college thesis on a “Compaq portable”. DOS operating system, before Windows. Green screen. It was neither compact nor portable, though it had a case with a carrying handle. It was the size of what today would be a large desktop PC.
When I was a child it was the really ancient times-we didn’t have computers at all.
I dream of the day...where SNL can go back to being funny like this
It is Karen.
Drean of a day when none of this shit came true.
I dream of the day… when people will finally stop saying “bAcK wHeN SNL wAs FuNnY” on social media comment sections
@@silverdrumvideo see, even YOU will be happy when SNL is funny again
Their acting was much better than today, not looking directly to the teleprompter, real acting you know, it feels real...
I think they spend way too much time on re-writes today than back then. Back then movies were also often made faster. Now that doesn't mean it's always good, a lot of old sketches could have used more work, but it would have compromised their acting. Still, I think it's a good trade since a bunch of actors doesn't make it too obvious that they're reading cue cards and I think more sketches work as a result
These people were better at improvisation too. Later stars like Kristen Wiig, Will Ferrell and Bill Hader were brilliant at this
Real
@@JachAnen you nailed it. Current show is literally rewriting on the fly just before dress.
there never was a teleprompter
This is the first time I've seen this. Hilarious. I'm from the 90's but I still think the 90's were the best years for SNL.
You lived thru the 90s or were born in the 90s?
@@willbecker3437 Born 82.
The 80s and 90s were both great decades for SNL. No PC bull. It all went to hell when Will Farrell left.
Yeah but having former president Blowhard in the white house
allowed SNL to make the most recent 4 years a little more tolerable.
no the 70s
Great skit! Everyone was made fun of, no one got offended. The cast was lighthearted, practically laughing.👍
Tim fart. Ok
I miss those days, those skits!
*sketch
Things were different back then, people were much happier too.
@@Rob-to4mu Yep. Way less racism in every direction back then. It's been more and more ridiculous ever since Obama.
Why does young Adam Sandler seem so unbelievable as a business man
Maybe it's because his shirt is four sizes too big. Or maybe it's because he claims to read on the weekend.
The irony being he's pretty savvy in real life
Because at the time he hadn't even finished first grade yet.
Dude couldn't keep a straight face, even for unfunny lines
I can think of one other guy who is even more unbelievable
This is classic Tim Meadows and fun to see all the greats in this skit. As much as I enjoy the original cast, this era was the best for SNL.
It’s important we all understand how thoughtful it was to fire up that laptop before gifting it. Those toasters took forever to boot.
“You lucky bastards!!” Lol
yes, that latest laptop of 1990 has MS-DOS, WordStar and Lotus 123 and few latest games like Pac-Man, Tetris installed on it.
and it only cost $6,200
It's actually a Macintosh Powerbook.
@@zaphenath6756 lol
Lotus 123 haha. We still use Notes. Notes 11
My god I actually use all those... 🧐
It's neat seeing Adam Sandler, Chris Elliott, and Tim Meadows together
So good when the actors were actual actors and didn't keep reading signs
Back when they walked to the set in the snow uphill both directions?
This is so relevant even today haha
How
@@MypronounIsKing Trump supporters as of 11/8/20 looking to perpetrate some racial violence on some minorities, as revenge....
@@manaharav 😂😂 what the fuck are u talking about 🤣
@@MypronounIsKing Minorities capitalizing on white guilt. Still works today!
@@reredrumuoy Aslong as the media keeps trying to make white people feel bad for being white , that will be a thing.
Is the library even open on MLK day? Sure sign someone is lying. haha
Exactly! 🤣
That’s how you make fun of both cultures right there.Now everyone’s feelings get hurt.
Lol
Yes. We were allowed the stereotypes and to laugh at our differences. Now everyone is butt hurt
I'll take Skits That Cannot Be Made in the 2020s for $500...
...Potent Potables...
SO, WE MEET AGAIN TREBEK!
TELL ME, IS YOUR MOTHER STILL A BLM COORDINATOR?
Hey that’s offensive because Alex trebek just died! Have some respect!!
Just kidding lmao good lord for reals though
This was so much fun!
These classics show how it is REALLY done!
Now that was funny
Tim Meadows was the token black guy for a long time, now they have Keenan
Keenan was funnier than the white cast
Don’t forget Chris Rock was on there too.
There was also some dude Teddy Murphy, something or other.
LexiCat Keenan just looks like fucking Fat Albert. They need a new token black guy. I sure hate Keenans entire look. Looks like a fat kid that just grew bigger.
@@frankmorris6765 when Rock was there there were 2 token black guys. Progress..
All i could watch was Jeff's hair.
Reminds me a little bit of Eddie Murphy’s sketch “white like me”, lol. 😂
white like me with Eddie was genius
Wow. Another vintage SNL skit that reminds us how enormously better it used to be.
“You’re not jazzing me are ya?”
I've got the Great Kings of North America book and that's gold! It's got them all! Martin Luther King, King Keppard, King Diamond, Rodney King, Stephen King, B.B. King, Billie Jean King, Elvis Presley, Michael Jackson...
Next I'm buying the Queens of San Francisco.
I saw that ending coming. Also laptops in 1995? That means he just casually handed over like a 1500.00 gift
I'm literally in tears. This is probably my best sketch I've seen so far.
Pull yourself together
2:50 - 1995 laptop!!! Good times
@John Doe God those things weighed a ton.
I miss the venerable trak ball. **sigh**
/sure they were a nightmare to keep clean, but they were so perfect
I remember my dad bringing one home for work, we thought it was so awesome. All we had before that was an old MS-DOS desktop that you turned on then went and did your chores while it warmed up.
I was born and raised in Atlantic City. I’m sure plenty of people still get drunk on MLK day but many also volunteer. I’m a social worker and it’s a popular day to give back. Love this skit though. Adam Sandler actually visited AC about two years ago and played basketball with a group of local kids. He’s awesome!
Best summary of white guilt exploitation I've seen in a long time.
Yep. Sad and funny
The "woke" community
Unfortunately this was from a while back in “95”, so yeah, one day people will live and let live... so we don’t have to constantly hear about it. 🇺🇸
@@SpiritsOfAnotherDay It's strange how we could've laughed about it then but now it's taboo to have such a sense of humour. Have we digressed as a people?
@@elijahwilliamson3623 Really believe that too many have managed ways to use it as a divide, rather than a common unity. That has to be restored 🇺🇸
"Grab my strong hand"
I was 15 when this aired. So great, a great bunch of actors too. All of them.
I’m willing to wager that Norm wrote at least some of this sketch, if not all of it.
7AM but runs past midnight.....haha
LOL! That's a long day!
This is pure poetry OMG!!
Old is gold
"Great Kings of Africa" LOL
Why is that so funny 🤣
Probably considering almost the entire continent was colonized
You know when people say; " That joke did not age well."?
I think this one marinated just well enough.
Didn't expect that twist at the end 😆
This sketch is so relevant today.
It is just me or they know their lines? it is really hard to tell if they are reading cue cards or not.
They always used cue cards, but just as backup. The actors always learned their lines. Nowadays, they use cards as the prime source of their lines; that's why they're always staring into space when they're supposed to be talking to each other. People are just more lazy and hubristic and spoiled rotten divas these days, blaming their hectic schedules for their lack of talent.
The beat goes on.
Half way through I was waiting for it turn around. And it did!
This was actually light hearted and fun.
It's too bad we can't do these any more.
Adam Sandler's Flip flop at 1:50 made this episode for me..
Why can't we do this???
This couldn't be aired today.
Very timely
I haven’t seen this before, but I totally saw that ending coming! 🤣🤣
This is hilarious! Man definitely can’t see 2021 SNL doing something like this...
Man, I forgot Chris Elliot was on SNL for a time. And I always liked Ellen Cleghorne.
Ellen Cleghorne was the worst. YUK
When i was a kid a had a major crush on her
Never heard of her before.
I loved her. 🤩
That was a great era #90s
Before the tragedy of 2000 & after.
That was awkwardly Awesome! 🤣🤣🤣
That’s actually what’s going on right now 😳😂😂😂
King was a pervert and a comnunist so screw him
Yeah. And this white vs black, black vs white BS is just as juvenile and rudimentary now as it was then.
My first laptop looked just like that. It weighed seventeen pounds and you had to load Word Perfect from DOS.
Dos still good
No viruses
Just saw this on tiktok so now have to watch the full version
i love these guys
This sounds accurate haha
Jeff Daniels not long after his success in *"Speed"* (1994).
That was PERFECT!!!!!
"Hey, I went in on that, so that's kinda from both of us". Way to get out of it Sandler.
Never underestimate the power of white guilt.
There shouldn't be any guilt or whatever
The lesson is never lie LOL
good one !
jeff daniels looks like bill pullman.
Ooo I thought that was Bill Pullman. Haha.
@MainSail 201 lol he looks nothing like Bill Paxton. Bill Pullman is the president in the movie Independence Day
This is one of the few SNL funny sketches that let the writing do the heavy lifting. Too many sketches rely on the cast's outrageous performance to get laughs.
Jeff Daniels' mullet was swinging back and forth every time he turned his head
That's entrapment, LoL so real . Lmao 🤣😆😆
Man those three actors never age!
So true!! All points are even more exaggerated in 2021!!!!!
Lmfao the ending is perfect
These performers were all terrific! I miss Tim Meadows. Lol. Thanks for sharing.
I'm an 80s baby and never watched an episode of snl before. I always watched madtv and in living color. I'm missing out
It's hit and miss. Maybe 2 out of 10 sketches per episode are good.
I'd suggest that you stick to old school SNL. The new stuff is really corny.
I only watched based on who the musical act was.
Thanks for the tips!
I watched MADtv from 10 until 10:30 and then I would switch to SNL so I would get the best of both shows. In Living Color what's the best, Jim Carrey was hilarious. It's funny that all the best black comedy used to be on Fox.
This is great comedy. You probably couldn't do a sketch like this today in 2020.
Hell no there would be protest and burning the building to the ground. Ppl are not wanting 2 be happy and in good moods or wanting to laugh and that in itself is very very sad.
This is so amazing
This was just perfect lol
I can 100% see every one of my black friends pulling that shit on me lol. Let's just ALL go to AC and get drunk!
THE WAITING GAME SUCKS. LETS PLAY HUNGRY HUNGRY HIPPOS
