@@davismavis2834 Chris was taken from us far too early. i do not envy whatever it was he was going through. the man loved to make people laugh, no matter the cost. im just some guy who loves Chris Farley, i only know as much as the next guy i dont know his mind, but he was easily one of the funniest guys of all time and i miss him.
From everything I've heard he was a real sweetheart to his fans & would often miss flights to talk to fans he ran into @ airports & would go out of his way to say hi & sign autographs. Just so sad he couldn't beat his demons. We could certainly miss his gentle spirit & sense of humor right now !!
I love that when Mike Myers said “Milwaukee, Wisconsin” combined with Farley’s brilliant bewildered look, the crowd knew exactly what this sketch was about.
Beads of sweat begin pouring down his face as the strange Japanese hosts start attaching electrical connections securely to his genitals. “MOTHER OF MERCY I DON’T SPEAK JAPANESE!” Again he calls out to these sadistic monsters, but again in vain. His lucky streak clearly coming to a halt, It was in this moment (the electrical current noticeably humming louder and louder) that the misplaced tourist from Wisconsin wished he would have just taken a deeper huff off that permanent marker...
I’m American with Japanese wife and daughter and this skit really does cut pretty close to home. A very good satire of Japanese game shows … it’s been a while, but some of those shows were pretty extreme, although I don’t recall ever seeing fingers chopped off!
I translate Japanese for a living. For the record: the intro and the lines of the actors other than Mike are, for the most part, real Japanese, clearly translated from actual English sentences. I can tell that they wrote it in English first and then had someone translate and transcribe it phonetically, so the actors would know what to say. Their pronunciation is awful, so its hard to make out what they're saying a lot of the time, but the words they are trying to pronounce are actual words (The exception to that is whoever did the voiceover intro at the beginning. Their pronunciation is pretty good!). The reason some people think it's gibberish is because during the transitions, Mike seems to be improvising by throwing in random words. At some point, however, he always goes back on script to keep the sketch moving forward. The first question is real - he asks them how many keys are on a piano, with the choices being 70, 100, or 88. Incidentally, Mike mangles the words "hyaku" (100) and "hajichu hachi" (88) so badly, that he actually ends up saying something closer to "faster, bees, bees". Question 2 is hilarious because it's total nonsense. I think what they were going for is that he gives them three words and they're supposed to correctly write the kanji for one of them. However, the three words are "doki doki" (which is just the sound of a heart beat), "kagemusha" (the name of a Kurosawa movie), and Godzilla. Alec Baldwin scribbles something that does not resemble any language, but Julia Sweeney's is actually pretty close! She nearly gets the Kage part right and the rest is the kind of random flourish that you see in real calligraphy. In any case, they both get their words wrong, but the joke is that since Farley writes Godzilla in English, he spells it correctly so his answer is correct. When Farley is hooked up to the electrical wires, the question they ask is very odd. It sounds to me like Mike is saying ”according to children's songs, who is always sitting?" Farley answers "kwaki surpi niku" which is completely meaningless, and Mike asks the judges if that's close enough. They say no, because the answer is "kwaki surpi PIku" (again total nonsense). I will say that some of the mannerisms border on offensive but if you watch Japanese TV, you'll sometimes see them impersonate Americans and the results are no less cartoonish. There was a lot of effort that went into this.
Thanks I teach journalism and I use it to show to rioplatense castellano students the non verbal communication since this a bridge too far for a tourist. So most of students don't understand English nor Japanese but the beauty of this sketch is the non verbal communication from Garofalo Myers Farley and Alec. Thanks for your input for the non Japanese speaking people
Unfortunately as much i respect your response and the time you took to translate everything i have to say you're incorrect. Julia Sweeney (who played its Pat) is not in this sketch, her name is Laura Kightlinger :)
@@MalikCanada Damn! I was worried I had that wrong. She was the one I remembered from that time period and they look and sound alike. Thanks for the correction. She writes good calligraphy!
There was a time when we could have fun joking with each other. That can't be allowed anymore. I bet there's some great stuff about Americans in Japan! As there should be.
@@thanksfernuthin we still can. It's just SNL and shows like it are a part of an archaic corporate media system that's in a downward spiral. Soon the next generation will start creating their own shows and things will be like the attitude era of the 90s x1000
Ha ha, how about; Ancient Puppetry* (four thousands years old),Old Greek comic mime*,Theatre of the absurd* (1940-60),C.Chaplin, Laurel & Hardy..comedy mime...etc etc
That is part of the genius of the skit. We feel for Chris's character because most of us haven't learned Japanese either. Having subtitles would have ruined it.
5:43 “Hey, excuse me, I won, what the heck are ya doin’ here?” Honestly, Farley is probably the only person who could ever make that line hilarious. His delivery and bewildered tone were just perfect.
And he was from Wisconsin so he knew both how to act in caricature as a Midwesterner from Wis-CAN-sin AND how people from elsewhere viewed people from there.
Boy does he commit to every role. No character breaking like Jimmy Fallon or Horacio Sanz. For me this set of SNL players were the best, late 80s through mid 90s.
@@SKarthikeyan75 You're right, he owned every role like John Belushi. In fact, that original cast of SNL with Belushi, Akroyd, etc is the only one that can rival the Farley era players.
Yeah just pisses me off a chick was at his place and could of saved him but was more worried about herself getting introuble...goes to show some peoples true nature is just saving they're own skin.
@@wyldelf2685 I just looked him up and holy shit! The likeness is so uncanny you'd think they were twins! Also, just found out he was Ketchup Boy in the "Cooking with Randy" sketch Chris guest starred in on All That!
I was 15 when Farley died and of course I was a fan of his from movies like "Tommy Boy" and "Black Sheep", but it isn't til my later years now that I really appreciate just how truly special he was.
I was like 4 or 5 when he died. I think I was 7 or 8 and had watched Tommy boy and black sheep probably 25 times by that point and was sad when I asked my mom why we didn't have any more of his movies
They’re Japanese wasn’t too bad, quite well done overall actually. Chris Farley was an absolute legend n Mike Meyers, totally sold it. This was was awesome:)
@@jimalden9376 yeah, 10 years in Japan teaching English will this to you, believe me. And I’m more of a grammar n*zi than you are. But Peace all the same.
Disagree… this skit was not funny at all. Farley had his moments when he was funny, that was it and this skit definitely wasn’t one of them. To me, his only funny skits were the Matt Foley motivational speaker skit and the Chip N Dale dancer skit. That was pretty much it. He only had 1 successful movie which was Tommy Boy. He went way downhill after that
@@heroinmom153 I love it! Lol I can’t get enough of you morons whining because I said something that you didn’t like and disagreed with so you’re saying bullshit like “I’m factually incorrect,” it’s hilarious
@@lamarravery4094 Completely agree with you. I saw a meme the other day that we will gladly ask God to trade everyone (all the worthless ones) in congress for Chris Farley back. Seems like a great deal to me. If only that could happen.
One of the best SNLskits of all time, yet most people don’t know it. . Flawless delivery too. It’s a classic. Mike Myers pretending to flip the switch while Farley grasps for the answer is just amazing.
@@BootlegBrain From what I understand it, one would have to offer a knuckle's worth as recompense, so first offence, you'd lose up to the first knuckle, etc. you don't lose the whole finger for a first time, my interpretation is that it's a punishment enough to "brand" them but not enough to disable them unless they keep messing up. This is just stuff I recall from interviews though, you might want to take it with a grain of salt.
Idk, it's mainly the actors speaking Japanese and emulating cultural idiosyncracies. It's nowhere near as egregious as Peter Sellers' character in Murder by Death, Mickey Rooney's character from Breakfast at Tiffany's, or any iteration of Fu Manchu.
I was born in '95, so my initial exposure to this sketch and most of the classic Chris Farley sketches was a VHS copy of the SNL 'Best of Chris Farley' collection. Growing up, that tape was a household favorite. Thanks to the tape (and my dad for buying it), I know those sketches like the back of my hand... (Matt Foley, Chippendale's, Bill Swerski's Superfans, Bennett Brauer, etc.) But now, revisiting this one for a good laugh and to savor the nostalgia, I'm curious to know who was involved in the writing... Not long ago I learned that the classic Matt Foley character/sketches were the brainchild of Bob Odenkirk, who first conceived the idea and workshopped it with Chris when they were both at Second City... Likewise, I'd love to know the origins of this one... Also props to all the other actors in this sketch... Especially Mike Myers
I am Japanese but it’s the funniest sketch from SNL!!!!!! So over the top but at the same time, I can’t believe how meticulous this skit is… even for a native Japanese speaker!!!!!!! nuance is so perfectly Japanese!!!
I like how mike myers keeps ignoring the fact THAT CHRIS FARLEY KEEPS YELLING I DONT SPEAK JAPENESE .SO HE JUST REPEATS THE QUESTIONS IN JAPANESE SLOWER.
Few know that Mike is actually Japanese. They say he's from Canada to avoid the backlash at having had a japanese comic on the show giving what they did to the harbour. True story. Look it up.
This video made me realize how much I miss guys like Chris Farley and John Candy. R.I.P. guys. And god damn Mike Meyers come back please...you ain't dead yet, but I miss you as much as Chris and John.
@@kyler32291 yeah, but you can tell someone actually bothered to write it in Japanese and they tried their best to memorize the words even though they didn't know what they meant. It was funny hearing them swap and stress the wrong syllables.
@@JFmK-sh5nh I know. Like they think they're really cute and funny when they screw up or abandon their skits or lines, as though they're improvisation geniuses. While really it's as annoying as sitting in a room with a bunch of people making in-jokes. Like I'm glad at least someone is laughing. It's just not anyone watching it on TV. I've only watched SNL recently when Dave Chappelle and Bill Burr hosted.
Man, Chris Farley, aside from his outrageous comedic persona, was a really talented instinctive actor. With a bit of focus, I bet he could have had easily crossed into the drama genre.
Uh… no, Farley was no actor. He played the same character in all of his movies… which was an embarrassing buffoon 😳😕 that’s really sad. Tommy Boy was his only successful movie, he went way downhill after that
"It's a Japanese" Sigh, why are there so many western kids online who say they are Japanese? When they clearly aren't, some kind of strange fascination where they think Japanese people are super cool and saying they are Japanese will make people think they are cool also.........very pathetic. BTW, everything Mike Myers and Baldwin said were real Japanese words, you are an idiot. At least try to learn even moderate Japanese before pretending to be Japanese online Ray.
MMO Make Money Online wow... that's some pathetic rant, kiddo. You clearly don't know any Japanese or you would hear the mistakes and horrible pronunciation yourself... And as someone, who isn't completely fluent, it was nice to see, that others couldn't understand everything, too :) So... I don't know, why you would throw around weird theories about knowing stuff, you clearly don't know yourself.. why the fuck would anyone think, that Japanese are "super cool"?! The Japanese society is one of the most suppressed in the world! That's why Draco Malvoy or Jordan Schlansky are so loved there... because they are not overly polite all the time. But please, tell me when things changed and kids ANYWHERE started to look up to the excessively polite person, who has no opinion him-/herself and just smiles and nods. And good to have an expert: what the fuck does this woman say at 0:54?! Right... you said Myers&Baldwin used real words... but why did you narrow it down like this? RAY didn't say anywhere, that those two were hard to understand... "you are an idiot".. someone needs attention, I guess... how else would you make money online? Talking about pathetic 😂 Well kiddo... good luck... but maybe try some new ways to feel big... this will just work with some really stupid tools :)
I lived in Japan for a year. Their game shows are awesome but just a tad on the rough side. They would push people into ice water, but it was still funny to watch.
I assume they're Japanese must be terrible, but give them credit for holding the illusion up very well for non Japanese speakers! I raise my hat to these great performers. 👏
I'm Japanese and I LOVE this sketch! Laura and Alec speak Japanese wonderfully, Janeane's kawaii Japanese woman mannerisms too. One of the best parts for Japanese people is that Alec shows Kagemusha kanji board up side down (and it's gracefully written by calligraphy master). Also I suspect Mike is a fluent Japanese speaker, because he sounds like speaking Japanese with English accent on purpose. And kuaki sapi niku or kuaki sapi piku are carefully made up words to make no sense at all as a Japanese sentence.
I've lived in Japan for years now.....I watch this clip every couple months and it kills me every time!!!!! PS their attention to using real Japanese is good!!!

@@jonDoe-ml3jq Last year I had a open classroom with a Japanese commercial film director who told me he's actually worked for SNL in NY city many many many years ago and wrote Japanese calligraphy-like words for the show 😂 I guess this sketch should be the one cuz I can read these Japanese words.
NOT racist.....this is comedy making fun of all stereotypes. Any of those offended should take a look at Japanese Game shows first...including the sex game shows.This is tame in comparison. Miss Chris Farley ! funny funny man....so is Mike Myers
imo you can imitate people from other countries without being offensive (like this - it's super funny) There's a HUGE difference between actual racist comedy and this, this was funny and wasn't "making fun" of a race You can see that there are more comments here saying that others find this offensive than comments saying it's actually offensive. Like 99 to 1 lol
@C One could easily argue that having a White man pretend to be a psychotic Japanese game show host is racist and gather enough clout to have this taken down, moron.
Dammit Farley!!! Why!?!?!? 😭😭😭😭 You were so talented. I have absolutely no doubt later in his career he would’ve shown he had real dramatic chops and won an Oscar or something.
SNL died when Chris Farley died. Will Ferrell and some early 2000s comedians did great but after that its been downhill. SNL is just woke Trump hating propaganda.
@@fauxbro1983 TRUE. Its unbelievable how backwards mainstream comedy has become. The whole point of comedy is to make fun of everything, but now its just about throwing political jabs and not offending specific groups. Thats not comedy
I doubt SNL will every return to its former glory, things don't tend to work like that. More likely a new crew of ambitious funny people will create a whole new thing that just overshadows snl and puts it out of its misery once and for all.

Well the finger thing comes from the Yakuza.
The little whimsical dance at the end with everyone participating whilst Chris Farley is going absolutely mental in the background is pure gold
When I first saw that dance as a kid I thought it was the most hilarious and ridiculous thing I'd ever seen. I still feel that way.

I translate Japanese for a living. For the record: the intro and the lines of the actors other than Mike are, for the most part, real Japanese, clearly translated from actual English sentences. I can tell that they wrote it in English first and then had someone translate and transcribe it phonetically, so the actors would know what to say. Their pronunciation is awful, so its hard to make out what they're saying a lot of the time, but the words they are trying to pronounce are actual words (The exception to that is whoever did the voiceover intro at the beginning. Their pronunciation is pretty good!). The reason some people think it's gibberish is because during the transitions, Mike seems to be improvising by throwing in random words. At some point, however, he always goes back on script to keep the sketch moving forward. The first question is real - he asks them how many keys are on a piano, with the choices being 70, 100, or 88. Incidentally, Mike mangles the words "hyaku" (100) and "hajichu hachi" (88) so badly, that he actually ends up saying something closer to "faster, bees, bees". Question 2 is hilarious because it's total nonsense. I think what they were going for is that he gives them three words and they're supposed to correctly write the kanji for one of them. However, the three words are "doki doki" (which is just the sound of a heart beat), "kagemusha" (the name of a Kurosawa movie), and Godzilla. Alec Baldwin scribbles something that does not resemble any language, but Julia Sweeney's is actually pretty close! She nearly gets the Kage part right and the rest is the kind of random flourish that you see in real calligraphy. In any case, they both get their words wrong, but the joke is that since Farley writes Godzilla in English, he spells it correctly so his answer is correct. When Farley is hooked up to the electrical wires, the question they ask is very odd. It sounds to me like Mike is saying ”according to children's songs, who is always sitting?" Farley answers "kwaki surpi niku" which is completely meaningless, and Mike asks the judges if that's close enough. They say no, because the answer is "kwaki surpi PIku" (again total nonsense). I will say that some of the mannerisms border on offensive but if you watch Japanese TV, you'll sometimes see them impersonate Americans and the results are no less cartoonish. There was a lot of effort that went into this.

@@thanksfernuthin we still can. It's just SNL and shows like it are a part of an archaic corporate media system that's in a downward spiral. Soon the next generation will start creating their own shows and things will be like the attitude era of the 90s x1000

It's amazing how they make something so funny, even if you can't understand 90% of the dialog.
you can thank chris farley for that
Ha ha, how about; Ancient Puppetry* (four thousands years old),Old Greek comic mime*,Theatre of the absurd* (1940-60),C.Chaplin, Laurel & Hardy..comedy mime...etc etc
Chris was a Genius
That is part of the genius of the skit. We feel for Chris's character because most of us haven't learned Japanese either. Having subtitles would have ruined it.
I did the the math Ramhead.
82.459% was fake japanese. The rest was Chris' lines in American.
I am still amazed to this day how they were able to so quickly learn enough Japanese to pull this off. Mike Myers pulls it off so effortlessly.
It's on cue cards and they just had to pronounce certain words correctly.
so it was actual Japanese? I've always wondered that
@@okonh0wp yes it is actual Japanese but it is terrible.
@@LexWhitedotnet lol!
I mean the japanese is terrible but lmao they did pretty well for a skit
4:43 "Good Lord!!" I love the amount of drama Farley can put into something and it sounds even FUNNIER.
5:43 “Hey, excuse me, I won, what the heck are ya doin’ here?” Honestly, Farley is probably the only person who could ever make that line hilarious. His delivery and bewildered tone were just perfect.
And he was from Wisconsin so he knew both how to act in caricature as a Midwesterner from Wis-CAN-sin AND how people from elsewhere viewed people from there.
Boy does he commit to every role. No character breaking like Jimmy Fallon or Horacio Sanz. For me this set of SNL players were the best, late 80s through mid 90s.
@@SKarthikeyan75 they were , u dothead
@@SKarthikeyan75 You're right, he owned every role like John Belushi. In fact, that original cast of SNL with Belushi, Akroyd, etc is the only one that can rival the Farley era players.

What a great skit and of course Farley took it to a level no one else could. Mount Rushmore of comedic geniuses.
He wasn’t just fat guy falls down. He played awkward/nervous Larry perfectly.
He was much funnier than he believed. He had amazing instincts and timing as well.
Rest his comedic soul,,,good thing we still have "KEVIN FARLEY",have anyone seen images and video of Chris's brother it's erie,,,

I was 15 when Farley died and of course I was a fan of his from movies like "Tommy Boy" and "Black Sheep", but it isn't til my later years now that I really appreciate just how truly special he was.
Ninja too.
Hindsight is always 20/20 my friend. He will be missed, indeed.
I was like 4 or 5 when he died. I think I was 7 or 8 and had watched Tommy boy and black sheep probably 25 times by that point and was sad when I asked my mom why we didn't have any more of his movies

He had his moments when he was funny, that was it
This is honestly one of the funniest most underrated skits from SNL. 2 greats making a simple simple idea SO freaking funny!
Disagree… this skit was not funny at all. Farley had his moments when he was funny, that was it and this skit definitely wasn’t one of them. To me, his only funny skits were the Matt Foley motivational speaker skit and the Chip N Dale dancer skit. That was pretty much it. He only had 1 successful movie which was Tommy Boy. He went way downhill after that

Haha right there with ya!
Is Bowen Yang allowed to play someone who’s Japanese? Genuinely don’t know.
mike myers, chris farley, great actors. and that's why it's great
Idk, it's mainly the actors speaking Japanese and emulating cultural idiosyncracies. It's nowhere near as egregious as Peter Sellers' character in Murder by Death, Mickey Rooney's character from Breakfast at Tiffany's, or any iteration of Fu Manchu.
Todays SNL is trash.
Chris Farley playing the classic middle-aged Midwesterner. Only him makes that work so great.
He reminds of me of my dads friends lmaooo
Lol. I'm from Wisconsin.
He always plays as himself and bit of his dad. He always acted to make his dad laugh. He was real miss Farley!
He said he based Matt Foley on his dad and his h.s. gym teacher. When I heard that, I laughed and almost wished I'd grown up in Wisconsin!
Farley is from Wisconsin (Madison.)
I was born in '95, so my initial exposure to this sketch and most of the classic Chris Farley sketches was a VHS copy of the SNL 'Best of Chris Farley' collection. Growing up, that tape was a household favorite. Thanks to the tape (and my dad for buying it), I know those sketches like the back of my hand... (Matt Foley, Chippendale's, Bill Swerski's Superfans, Bennett Brauer, etc.) But now, revisiting this one for a good laugh and to savor the nostalgia, I'm curious to know who was involved in the writing... Not long ago I learned that the classic Matt Foley character/sketches were the brainchild of Bob Odenkirk, who first conceived the idea and workshopped it with Chris when they were both at Second City... Likewise, I'd love to know the origins of this one... Also props to all the other actors in this sketch... Especially Mike Myers
I am Japanese but it’s the funniest sketch from SNL!!!!!! So over the top but at the same time, I can’t believe how meticulous this skit is… even for a native Japanese speaker!!!!!!! nuance is so perfectly Japanese!!!

Most of it was gibberish. Lol.
@@kyler32291 yeah, but you can tell someone actually bothered to write it in Japanese and they tried their best to memorize the words even though they didn't know what they meant. It was funny hearing them swap and stress the wrong syllables.
@@WadeStar Exactly. The casts for the last ten years wouldn't dare attempt this considering that they can't even memorize their lines in English.
@@JFmK-sh5nh I know. Like they think they're really cute and funny when they screw up or abandon their skits or lines, as though they're improvisation geniuses. While really it's as annoying as sitting in a room with a bunch of people making in-jokes. Like I'm glad at least someone is laughing. It's just not anyone watching it on TV. I've only watched SNL recently when Dave Chappelle and Bill Burr hosted.
The end was the best Mike Myers how he it held it together on the switch without laughing hysterical I would have lost it lol
Akiro Myers has the greatest laugh of all time
Man, Chris Farley, aside from his outrageous comedic persona, was a really talented instinctive actor. With a bit of focus, I bet he could have had easily crossed into the drama genre.
I bet he was even more fun in person, can you imagine being friends with him omg.
Drama is easier than comedy. Committing to a comic role takes far more effort than to a dramatic role. Farley was one the best.
He did drama scenes during many parts in Tommy Boy and Black Sheep. He was a talented actor.
Just like Bob Odenkirk
Uh… no, Farley was no actor. He played the same character in all of his movies… which was an embarrassing buffoon 😳😕 that’s really sad. Tommy Boy was his only successful movie, he went way downhill after that
Myers wiping his eye from the pleasure of others pain is golden comedy. It’s golden
3:13 him celebrating and shadow boxing gets me every time 😂😂😂

"It's a Japanese"
Sigh, why are there so many western kids online who say they are Japanese? When they clearly aren't, some kind of strange fascination where they think Japanese people are super cool and saying they are Japanese will make people think they are cool also.........very pathetic.
BTW, everything Mike Myers and Baldwin said were real Japanese words, you are an idiot. At least try to learn even moderate Japanese before pretending to be Japanese online Ray.
Ikr
MMO Make Money Online wow... that's some pathetic rant, kiddo. You clearly don't know any Japanese or you would hear the mistakes and horrible pronunciation yourself... And as someone, who isn't completely fluent, it was nice to see, that others couldn't understand everything, too :) So... I don't know, why you would throw around weird theories about knowing stuff, you clearly don't know yourself.. why the fuck would anyone think, that Japanese are "super cool"?! The Japanese society is one of the most suppressed in the world! That's why Draco Malvoy or Jordan Schlansky are so loved there... because they are not overly polite all the time. But please, tell me when things changed and kids ANYWHERE started to look up to the excessively polite person, who has no opinion him-/herself and just smiles and nods. And good to have an expert: what the fuck does this woman say at 0:54?! Right... you said Myers&Baldwin used real words... but why did you narrow it down like this? RAY didn't say anywhere, that those two were hard to understand... "you are an idiot".. someone needs attention, I guess... how else would you make money online? Talking about pathetic 😂
Well kiddo... good luck... but maybe try some new ways to feel big... this will just work with some really stupid tools :)
HA, I love that Mike got away with saying "No shit..." after Chris said he didn't speak Japanese... LOL
Maybe it wasn't as clear to the censors.
@Thomas Atwood He says "saigo no shitsumon" which means "final question" Coincidentally, this also contains "no shit"
Absolutely genius
I lived in Japan for a year. Their game shows are awesome but just a tad on the rough side. They would push people into ice water, but it was still funny to watch.
Chris Farley: MOTHER OF MERCY, I DON’T SPEAK JAPANESE!!!

I'm Japanese and I LOVE this sketch! Laura and Alec speak Japanese wonderfully, Janeane's kawaii Japanese woman mannerisms too. One of the best parts for Japanese people is that Alec shows Kagemusha kanji board up side down (and it's gracefully written by calligraphy master). Also I suspect Mike is a fluent Japanese speaker, because he sounds like speaking Japanese with English accent on purpose. And kuaki sapi niku or kuaki sapi piku are carefully made up words to make no sense at all as a Japanese sentence.

SNL died when Chris Farley died. Will Ferrell and some early 2000s comedians did great but after that its been downhill. SNL is just woke Trump hating propaganda.
@@TheRbruin10 now days they'd brand this skit as cultural appropriation and racist
@@fauxbro1983 TRUE. Its unbelievable how backwards mainstream comedy has become. The whole point of comedy is to make fun of everything, but now its just about throwing political jabs and not offending specific groups. Thats not comedy
I doubt SNL will every return to its former glory, things don't tend to work like that. More likely a new crew of ambitious funny people will create a whole new thing that just overshadows snl and puts it out of its misery once and for all.

Only Chris Farley could make the word, "Anywho," funny.
Yeh, I thought that, too. So old and beating corny. I hated it 35 years ago when a friend of mine said it to me the first time. But Farley made me laugh with it here!
I lived in Japan for 4 years. I expected this to be weirder.
Either way, those other contestants were very good sports. Imagine cutting off your finger for getting the wrong answer and then clapping and smiling for the guy who got the question right!
They knew what was coming for him!
If you watch enough Asian dramas, you'll get used to people doing strange things for honor.
The premise of this skit is just genius! Austin... uh, I mean Mike and Matt uhhh I mean, Chris do such a great job.
Man, i thought you were dead, why don't you upload videos anymore?
@@JoseRamirez-rq2gj had some stalkers who were harassing me and so I got tired of it. I could upload and leave comments turned off but I decided to just stop uploading altogether.
This is one of my favourite SNL sketches of all time. God bless Chris Farley
“Mary, call the American embassy!”. 😂😂😂
It would've been incredible to see Chris Farley and Bob Odenkirk working together in the present. RIP Chris. You're tremendously missed.
Imagine Chris Farley as a character in breaking bad or better call saul lol would have made the show even better
Odenkirk wrote Motivational Speaker for Chris back in the Second City days in Chicago.
Chris Farley was going to be shrek
Just imagine Chris making a surprise cameo as the drunk businessman that Saul Goodman robs. Chris would have been amazing in dramatic roles, if he had only lived long enough to show us.
Farley was supposed to be in a lot of works that ended up being huge... though Bob is big now but he was never famous in acting. His guest appearance on "Newsradio" in the barbershop quartet episode is hilarious...
@2:04THE UNIVERSAL HAND GESTURE FOR "BIG MISTAKE" 😂😂😂
"MARY CALL THE AMERICAN EMBASY"
How in the bloody hell did I never see this? That was really terrific. 10 million times as funny and inventive as anything on SNL the past decade
It was during a very bad season of SNL.
@@sha11235 isn't that amazing, you're totally right!
@@sha11235 Yep the 94-95 season. Nearly the entire cast was fired after the season finale.
Geeee ,thanks Loads "Lorne Michaels,, your ear for comedy must have gone deaf ,,
It was during one of the really lowest seasons (20), that's probably why. Most of the stuff on there at the time sucked shit.
The mid 90's. Not the best period of my life, but Chris Farley on Saturday nights still give me nostalgia for those times.
His sheer terror at "Mother of mercy, I don't speak Japanese!!" cracks me up! 5:54
Anyone here in 2024?
Yep, on a Chris farley binge and loving every minute of it.
Yes. What a legend sketch. The SNL 50 episode with a Latina gameshow pays homage to this I think
Sup?
はい🙂↕️
🙌
One of the funniest skits in SNL
HISTORY!!
Farley & Mike Myers are great in this…..Man I wish this show was still funny .
Political correctness and a little too much focus on political satire has ruined current SNL
At this time, the show mostly sucked too.
I enjoyed the comedic stylings of Chris Farley. He was hilarious.
Wow
Top notch
I concur
@@chrisriceco 🤣🤣🤣
missed why? just go down to the Laugh Factor and see him perform
Such a classic skit. Myers and Farley at the top of their game.
I saw this the night it aired in the 90s and still think about it any time I hear Japanese and game show together.
