My favorite part? That the Ghost just immediately disavowed having anything to do with the fracas. "They can't see me -- you look like a psychopath!" Dickens surely would have approved of this!
It cost 51251510 pennies amounting to a total of 48621512 eyeballs gouged out. But it was worth it. Even the last one which blinded my left eye. But it's okay, because I'm still able to watch this video with my remaining eye.
At it's best is appallingly awful. This was stupid and embarrassing and the perfect proof that I have missed nothing since I stopped watching this garbage years ago.
Martin Short and Steve Martin never fail to bring a smile to my face and make me laugh. Thanks guys. There should be a Comedy Hall of Fame - with both of them in it!
The beauty of Salad Days is that it was succinct and unexpected. As soon as he threw the coin in the air I knew where this was going, and it went on far too long.
@@kylestubbs8867I saw that episode. That’s what I thought of when I saw this. 😂😂😂 Unlike Sarah, Duck Guy deserves it for being a dick throughout the entire episode.
Classic. An absolute classic. Whoever wrote this, congratulate yourselves. Not only is this going to be on the Christmas reels, this will be on the top 10 reels. Hysterical. You made my evening.
Yes… I was laughing but somewhat under control until that point, and then that followed by Tiny Tim being knocked back down into the sewer… I had to roll the video back because I couldn’t hear anything over my own laughter.
Every skit with Martin Short and Steve Martin in it for this show was on point and hilarious. Their monologue was spectacular. They always been a great team and I’m proud of SNL of having them work together and ensure the skits they have were worth it. Shout out to the other original Kings of Comedy. 😂
@Christopher Dorrough - The joke's on them - I don't think London had a sewer system back then! They used wooden septic Tanks. So, what DID Tiny Tim fall into?
I've watched this 15 times at least over the past week, and EACH and EVERY time I'm laugh-crying so badly... OMG these two rock. WELL DONE to the SNL writers of this skit!
What I love about this sketch is the twist. I know that sounds basic, but there have been SO many takes on A Christmas Carol, that when you see it, your mind immediately goes “Okay, what do YOU have to say about this” and boy, did they have a new take 😂😂😂😂
Have not watched SNL in over a decade because of the politics. But when I heard Martin and Martin were co-hosting. I tuned in. Pleasantly Surprised. They know they are losing viewership because of the politics and really un-funny new cast. SNL was funny up to the 90's and maybe a few episodes in the 20's. I miss Phill Hartman. RIP.
@@japa9991 I was born in the 90s and remember my parents watching it every now and then, we mostly watched mad TV. I haven't really watched any comedy or late night type show cause it all seems to be about politics, but I discovered Martin short and Steve martin via only murders in the building and can't get enough of them. I've been binging their stuff, it's hilarious. I don't really hear anything political from them, but even when they do that it's funny unlike a lot of comedians who just basically regurgitate what other hosts or comics have said or it's just not funny at all.
@@japa9991 The new cast isnt unfunny you just answered in your own comment that the material has been stupid and too political. Youre also just an old boomer probably, every new cast is unfunny until they get sometime to live with each other. The rose colored glasses you old people use to look back on what you loved is hilarious.
So funny! And it avoided the curse of many SNL sketches, it nailed the ending too with a really solid final joke and added punchline. Merry Christmas one and all!
I've been a fan of SNL since it came on the air when I was 15, and this ranks among the funniest skits I've ever seen! It is HILARIOUS, and is made all the sweeter with the presence and performances of Martin Short and Steve Martin. Bravo!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣
I've been laughing so hard at this skit that my brother in the other room keeps jumping up to see what's going on! This skit was over-the-top hilarious. Martin Short and Steve Martin are as funny as ever! Please have them on OFTEN! The entire world needs them!
Having known her from the standup scene in Chicago I love that she's becoming the new breakout star on SNL but also like any comedian seeing another be successful I quietly hate her for it 🙂
I feel like the regular cast actually nailed their parts in this sketch. Maybe the issue is that they need two really strong personalities to play off of.
I've been watching SNL since the beginning and I have to say this is one of the funniest segments I've ever seen. So amazingly staged, acted and written. And it proves that those two comedy veterans still have what it takes. Great job all!!!
Made me laugh pretty hard… despite only being the second time that day I’d seen someone get blinded by a thrown coin. The first was “Don’t Hug Me I’m Scared”.
@@thesuncollective1475 Yeah, Martin Short is like aged cheese. Perfect in some applications but overwhelming in many others. But he is PERFECT here. This is just great for him and the over-acting he is famous for. I legit want to see him in the full Carol now.
I dont think is is Sarah. Im thinking its Michael...like the Margot Robbie sexy librarian sketch from years ago and several other slapstick dark violent comedy
I'm recovering from open heart surgery and laughed so hard, I'm sore but I felt my lungs expand for once. I laughed and laughed and laughed, I was crying I forgot of how sad and sick I've been. God bless SNL I LOVE YOU!
Gallows humor that increases exponentially is delightful stuff. They just kept topping themselves here until Scrooge shut the windows. So funny. And this filmed sketch clearly required much effort and time-- the sets, lighting, costumes ... very good.
Ok Molly only had like two lines and they were my fav part bc omg the delivery. I really hope people see how talented they are bc omg they need to stay on cast for years. Any sketch they're in is always so good, can't wait to see them get more sketches.
Except during Victorian times in London (which 'A Christmas Carol' is set), the water system was contaminated and there wasn't any nuclear waste management until later on.
The first 1:20 is worth watching for Martin Short. It made me wish they would do a sincere, not gross, but funny Christmas Carol remake (Steve Martin could do all the ghosts, plus Marley!)
😂 This had me laughing so hard I think because of the direction they took it. Dark humor for sure. It’s the absurdity of this that makes it humorous. To take something as benign as that scene and make it chaotic and over the top. It’s like taking an old B rated horror movie, which in itself is funny because of its absurdity and cheap special effects, and juxtaposing it with humor. Steve Martin and Martin Short’s one liners, comedic timing and overall wittiness added to this a lot.
@@Saitessa If I was an animator I would have loved to animate this skit where Preminger is Scrooge, but alas I have no time, talent, or resources....oh welll!

Martin Short is as good as he ever had been at 72. So talented

Exactly. Best line. Ghost is like we did our job this is all you
But yet he’s still capable of throwing real coins 😂
Dickens was probably spinning in his grave when this skit aired.
And he sounded just like old Steve Martin.....it was great. But still luv the Monty Python skit. ❤
skits done this well are worth every penny spent to produce, SNL at its best
Not the pennies!!!!! 😱🤣

So is he!
This is hilarious 😂

Me neither
Gotta be a fake account
😆 Yeah, in my opinion SNL hasn’t been funny in a LONG time… this was actually a good one. Not surprised some of the OGs of comedy are involved.
This sketch reminded me of Monty Pythons Flying Circus "Sam Peckinpah's Salad Days" sketch. Check it out if you can find it.
me too
Tiny Tim going into the sewer had me gasping for air. No notes 💯 😂
That's not Tiny Tim. That's the "Why it's Christmas sir" kid

Uh Stevie baby was there too... Granted during interviews it's Martin who is Hilarious
@ET M - The last I saw him was when Short played a small, but hilarious role as a Leprechaun in "Shimgadoon", episode 1.
Definitely a Monty Python feel to this one. So good 👏🏼🤣
The Python sketch was “ Salad Days”!😆
YESSS
Instant Classic. Things rapidly went downhill for poor, old Scrooge. So well done.
How about for the rest of the city!?
Steve Martin and Martin Short are comedy legends in any TV show or movie together.
I actually can not breathe right now. This sketch had me kicking and screaming on the floor 🤣😭
Hope you didn't accidentally kick anyone's head clean off
