I like how most people are commenting about how they are holding and pretending to play the instruments incorrectly, but no one is talking about Beethoven introducing them with a microphone
Yeah, that's perfectly ok, apparently! Everyone likes to point out the incorrectness of the instrument playing, but it's totally ok to have Beethoven walking around with a microphone, hearing perfectly normal, speaking English, making modern-day jokes and references, etc.!
Not to mention the background music
Yeah,and no one praises Sally for actually playing the triangle...bunch of buttheads...
@@0921AV The background music is a vamp on Archie Bell & the Drells, "Tighten Up," which won't be composed for another 200+ years.
@@jonp72 👍. I loved the whole thing
"I am famously deaf" Then points out someone is playing Mozart
Beethoven could tell by looking....
I love that moment
Yeah, YEAH he did!😀😀😀😀😀
Man!!@# shut the FUCK! UP!!
He felt the vibrations of the mozart
Yeah, I’m not sure this is real footage of Beethoven. How did he know it was Mozart? Must be some deepfaked footage.
Not surprised John Mulaney co-wrote this one. "God, I am good at classical music" is a very Mulaney line.
And "famously deaf" sounds like him too.
@@gllyflower Poor John. Hope he’s doing well. And frankly, delighted as I am to see him working with Seth again, I’d be even happier to see him work with Jimmy and spice his material up a bit.
@@SuperJNG18 Yeah another crappy thing to happen in this crappy year. I wish him well too!
How can you tell who wrote the sketches? It’s not in the description...
I guess back in the day it was just called music. 😜
i’m a bassoon player. gotta be honest, i’m more concerned about how they had the budget to find a bassoon than the fact that it was played wrong
Was there even a reed on that bassoon?
haha! I noticed that too. Even cheap crappy bassoons are like, $10000?
@@porkyfry Nope. $1,200 on Amazon. Decent one, too.
probably just a prop
I love. Jimmy enjoyed the skit very much
It's really killing me that there is a funky guitar playing casually while mr Beets introduces his entire orchestra 😂
... with a microphone..
Yeah and an electric organ too haha
Keenan as BB King quietly saying “thrill is gone” killed me
That was a great touch.
it could be the worst SNL sketch ever and a BB King reference will save it for me
Keenan as the token black guy plays the token black guy. This might be American, but it doesn't make it funny.
@@timlynch5710 Huh? Keenan is playing BB King in Beethoven’s orchestra which the two famously did not live in the same century or play the same style of music. That’s why it’s funny.
@@MikeMeehan AMEN! Long live the king, Riley B King, who was raised by a white couple and his first (paying) job was as a blues DJ!
"His key is B flat and his wife B ugly...." oh snap !! LOL
It’s not funny, it’s sexist.
French horn is key of F tho
@@wholeshebang1 shut up ahahahaha
@@lucacecca5535 - Why are you so angry?
@@wholeshebang1 coz it is not sexist at all, it's just funny
Bill Hader was playing the flute in a VERY interesting way
M DA like Ian Anderson from Jethro Tull
Very iNtErStInG
Agreeeeeeed.
I agree, how can he make a sound???????????
That distracted me through the whole thing hahahah (and not just because he's handsome, bc yes) he's like playing bass on it, while blowing down into it??? Like look at his fingers, he's playing it like he would a bass, all rhythm xD
I'm obsessed with their individual riffs on the Ode to Joy
same, most were interesting in their own way
I like comedy and interesting things that create laughter inside my mouth
I'm here for triangle Sally
I'm here for the horse. **snicker**
welcome to the club..... ;-)
I'm here for the guy who raped my horse
most epic character!! xD
999th like
"That's mozart you son of a b***h"
That kills me. 😂
"That's Mozart you son of a bitch!"
I love how esoteric this sketch is, and how committed everyone was to it.
Definitely written for people like me... and even I did not find it that funny. The "that's Mozart" line definitely made me lol, though.
YES
I love the word "esoteric".
as a music theory major 100 perecent approve
@@commentcopbadge6665 even if it‘s out of place
"He's from Graz, and he loves to smoke it"
That's one for us Austrians
Both things apply to me
yay more Austrians!!
Good thing no one's from Fucking
Do they have good grass in Graz?
@@Eastbridge2100 nothing but
How did I miss this gem for nearly a decade? I couldn't put it down.
Asking myself the same thing. Fire, this
I forgot how great this is and everybody in it. Fallon did a great job introducing everyone. He's in his element.
XD
Its like he was in full Tonight Show mode already.
Yeah because his laughing adds to the sketch for once, lol.
One of my favourite Fallon performances.
IDGAF what anyone says....THIS....was the ULTIMATE cast. Every single cast member was extremely talented and fit the show perfectly.
"This next guy plays flute, both regular and skin - 'who said that!' Not me" 😂😂
i dont get it
its a penis joke
5:39 “thrill is gone”🤣
love that
LOL I cracked myself out when Triangle Sally been introduced. Really didn't expect the character will be in this skit as well~ xD
LOL ... I watched this again and again just to see Triangle Sally and Bill Hader's character... what was his name again? :D
Beethoven introducing the band… so simple but yet genius. It takes some special genes to come up with that
genius is a strong word. To me this is just a bad snl sketch
@@anakinskywalker70 There seem to be something wrong with your account. You have no videos of skits funnier than this one posted?
@@kaskar stupid ass comment bro
As a professionally trained classical musician (who knows that's "Tighten Up" playing in the background and loves that song), I've never laughed so hard!
Recs to Archie Bell and the Drells!
Yeah I’m with ya - how can you not love a band from Houston Texas
Yeah I just put that together like "hmmm that guitar sounds familiar, wow that bass sounds really familiar... WAIT A SECOND"
You're a professionally "train" "classical" musician?
Almost thought this was an old clip, the amount of classic faces here! Also loving the cameo appearance by Triangle Sally, rather unexpected callback that cracked me up.
WTF IS A CELLO DOING IN THE MIDDLE OF THE FIRST VIOLINS????
MUSIC GEEK TEST!!!!
The thing you should be asking is why is there only one of every instrument except for the violins? That's a horribly unbalanced orchestra. I'm beginning to think this guy's an impostor.
Why is the first violin player in the middle? The most important first violin player should be in the front row way to the right :P and everyone doesn't make sense :P
NEEEEEEEEEEEERDS!!!
No double bass ... :((
That's great, but it needs more cowbell...
I'VE GOT A FEVER!!!
Danielle Balanga Oh no. That's a death sentence.
Iva AND THE ONLY PRESCRIPTION IS MORE COWBELL!
I read it in the voice of christopher walken. :D
Yeah ! Will Ferrell rocks ! Love from France !
At 2:15 when he says "Oooooh da joy" is so good
Bill Hader and Jason Sudeikis are such pros, they crack me up everytime :D
“Tighten Up” playing in the background is what makes this a Top 10 skit for me
This is one of my favourite SNL skit
Just rewatched this to get my day started 😂😂
I love how everyone embellishes the melody and then the violist just plays the melody straight 😂
this skit is so good... criminally underrated
Kristen dancing cracks me up every time !!
(3:44) I love how after he insults the tuba player (cameo played by Fallon's good friend Horatio Sanz), he plays Mozart to burn him back. It seems like Fallon didn't know that would happen because after Fallon calls him on it, Sanz excitedly points like "you caught it!" Awesome, deep burn.
All in the screenplay 🙄
You know it's not really Horatio playing the instrument. If it's not recorded it's one of the shows music band players off-screen. Thought the same thing but it was really just good acting on their part.
Twoset should react to this 😂
This should be a top comment!
YAAAAAAAAAASSSSS !!
Same thoughts
During basson and oboe I (wrongfully) thought they had at least some professionals, but then...
That will be the rosatiest roast yet to come
I was literally going to comment the same thing!!
came here for triangle sally, wasn't disappointed.
"Let's all say goodbye to Franz Liemsch!" killed me🤣
She's a goddess.
Jimmy was a stunner. He's still good-looking.
Jimmy was always at his funniest with Horatio.
Horatio looking good on this
@@irenephillips1523 not anymore
here for the "Mozart" part...
Their expressions were priceless and matched their characters perfectly.
Rolf "The Hitman" Hitler LOL
Let's hope he never has kids! Ha!
He did. Mr. HIEDLER MARRIED MS. SCHICKGRUBLER
Imagine Beethoven and his orchestra in the 70's. 😁👍
This whole thing is greatness.
Where the people not practising 40 hours a day
Some non-twoset fan: "Last time I heard there were only 24 hours in a day!"
This gets my vote for one of the best written and best performed skits that Saturday Night Live has ever done. Brilliant! Jimmy Fallon was perfect.
I agree i only saw it for the first time this year but it's so good, packed with little moments, and the music is so good it puts you in a good mood
@@rachelrachel9152 If you’re talking about the music for this sketch it was “the tighten up” (combined with LVB's Ode to Joy) maybe by originally Archie Bell and the Drells?
It's giving me Mulaney vibes, I wonder if it was written by him?
I wasn't a big fan of Fallon before this, but I am after watching this. He aced it.
That’s rigth
Jimmy looks great with curls!
I like how the reference of the real Hitler being interested in music before his famous career went straight over most heads...
Gotta be one of the funniest all around SNL sketches I've ever seen
Super premise turned into a great, memorable skit.
Why would anyone dislike this sketch? It's so upbeat
Ah now I get it
"Nein, which is a shame cause I think the title is a 10" and the Graz-Gras jokes, didn't expect that. Like it. Being Austrian I expected only Hitler jokes ^^
You got both this time
I saw BB King in concert LIVE a handful of years before he passed away, with my dad in MN, and at the end people left but he came back out and I was up near stage and I got a guitar pick and I shook his hand with both hands and thanked him for all he’s done for blues and rock and guitar based music and I swear I leveled up like 10 points immediately that night, I still play my guitar every day and have for people perhaps have for some of you, but I hope to return to seeing and playing and enjoying live music when this pandemic is over and we can all enjoy communal shared activities like a live show!
Peace and Love and Blessings to all of you
Triangle Sally just made my day....plus he's from grass and he likes to smoke it...that line killed me
Graz, Austria
This comment section proves that knowing how to play a classical music instrument and having a sense of humor are mutually exclusive.
Ikr? I like twoset but thwy were insufferable about this
exactly
Strongly disagree. You can still think this is hilarious while at the same time pointing out that tubas and saxophones didn't exist in 1824.
@@BobbyLCollins You really are proving my point. Don't you understand? No one gives a shit. Shove your historically accurate fact and your mouthpiece down the tube, nerdy assface nobody wants to talk to at a party.
@@colonelbuendias You clearly give a shit, otherwise you wouldn't have replied, eh? Your reaction is wildly disproportionate to my comment. Consider psychiatric treatment.
Bill smirking in the background is funnier than the skit :D
LOL yup love him
"That's Mozart you son of bitch." Horatio Sanz laughs
This was shockingly funny, Jimmy in that wig, the retro music - the facial expressions. So stupid it was actually funny.
"Gawd, I am good at classical music" Hahaha, OMG 😆
Do you know what tune are they playing ?? Its so melodious.
I’m going through the comments answering this question, I have no idea why...
Anyway “Tighten Up” from 1968 by Archie Bell and the Drells . A favorite of oldies soul and R and B radio stations which is where I heard it first . It really puts you in a good mood and makes you want to dance, I use it to get housework done sometimes.
Fred’s anguished face😆😆
This just makes me giggle. This is amazing
Hugely underrated skit, love that it ran long and so it should have. How did I never see this one? Brava
favorite SNL sketch of all time! I just love this!
How have I never seen this?! and a surprise triangle Sally cameo?? I’m actually crying
I saw Bill Hader and laughed for about 2 minutes straight. There’s something about his expression and that wig.
2:04 That viola doesn't even have a chin rest
Ironically, that would historically accurate! The chin rest had only been invented in 1820, so it wouldn't yet have been in widespread use at the time the 9th symphony was premiered.
Ikr
Leporello the Goldfinch - Birdtaming Tips & Tricks are you saying that people before 1820 had really strong chins?
I never liked using a chin rest when playing the violin .. took away from feeling the vibrations on your shoulder
who came here after twoset's new video?😀
Me, dunno why I decided to torture myself for 6 minutes lmao
me
me. should've practiced instead of watching this mentally tormenting video
Me
Me. Hi!
One of the best skits to ever come out of SNL
Probably the greatest SNL sketch ever ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
the music is lowkey catchy tho
It’s Tighten up by Archie bell and the drells
The icing of our strudel! Rest in peace!
TRIANGLE SALLY 😂😂😂
Triangle Sally is one of the best characters in the history of SNL.
yes verdad
I think Jimmy is better acting than impersonating someone else.
Tuba is the musical answer to the fart...deep insight😂😂😂😂
Bobby Moynihan clearly has full command of that french horn.
His cheeky smile after... so hilarious 😂😂
Beethoven doing stand up with guest appearances by Triangle Sally and BB King. Love it!
It really disturbs me how Bill Hader imitates playing the flute, especially as he's in the shot all the time. Right hand a liitle higher and I'd be at peace again.
It really irritate me.. like a lot XD
That makes it even better!
It's a comedy show, so the people who made this sketch doesn't care if you're at peace or not
I played it for like 8 weeks when I was 9 (18 years ago) and I almost cried hahahha. He's not only holding it like a disaster, but the way he just rhythmically presses the same two keys makes me think he was like "ok I've no idea how this thing works, but I can however play bass, so I'll wing it.. can't be that different rite?"
did you see that embouchure too :\
damn this was like perfect. I've never seen a better natural looking unscripted skit. Were there cue cards or did he memorizes for a month cuz man that was just very organic
Just love it when the beats start before few of the instruments complete. It's so pleasing to hear..don't know how many times I have seen this video.
Proof that Kenan has been there since the Baroque Period.
Fred Armisen @2:33 has been etched into my mind forever.
I've never seen that skit. Hilarious
I want that backing track
+lochgoinfanclub If u find out what its called tell me please!
we all do
Tighten up By Archie Bell and The Drells
I watch it more times than I can count
SIMPLY E X C E L L E N T!!!!!❤❤
The best sketch ever 😆
The energy and facial expressions were so good I barely mind all the inaccuracies.
at 3:35 you can tell that bill hader is holding the laughter.
This is such a great sketch. Totes forgot about it. 😂
I'm Austrian and I'm just confused
BeaBro007 Lol
If you see some acts and they have a touring band, they'll go through the whole band and have them play a solo piece and say some 'funny' one liners in this skit. This skit is a joke about how weird (and long) it would be if Beethoven did this with his orchestra.
ich auch
@Paige Connelly
I don't think that was the source of the confusion.
Everybody got that part, I hope...
Warum?
One of the best SNL skits ever...🤣
That hitler joke was underrated.
It was the best joke in the sketch!
nobody really understood how yiddish that clarinet riff sounded. oy...
Especially because of his klezmer style playing ☺️
haha! 'that's Mozart u son of a bitch!'
I have never seen someone play a triangle with that much passion and sass hahahah and it was one note hahahh love it
she does that character in the worst of soul train video too, and i think at least one other time although i cant remember when
@@rachelrachel9152she does it in the new jack thanksgiving sketch when jason segel hosts
How have I never seen this?!! It's epic.
how were the people not fazed by horatio sanz and chris kattan?? i screamed when i saw them
Maybe people didn't realise... Kattan had that thing on his head, slightly covering his face and Horatio has lost loads of weight, so perhaps he was pretty unrecognisable. But I'm totally thinking the saw this as you
Horatio is unrecognizable now.
Jimmy, Sanz, and Kattan. Brilliant 😂
I thought it was them but Kattan wouldn't be the same timeline and Sanz was just almost him. :)
Wasn't that the same show they reunited for Sanz' Christmas song? th-cam.com/video/cy4Xq65Hfcg/w-d-xo.html
The writing in this 🙌
the guy playing violin to the left was trying realllllly hard
+Joy Yu he looks like jenna marbles' bf!
you mean Andy Samberg?
Not one of their best liked sketches but i rly like it for some reason, super chill :D
It’s been recorded historically that Triangle Sally and BB King played many shows together
i love jimmy
