Matzah is what us Jews eat during Passover. It’s remembrance towards our ancestors struggle for their forty years being lost in the desert after Egypt. Matzah is what we eat because they ate it (they didn’t have yeast, so the bread did not rise as they strapped it on their backs to cook it in the sun as the wandered). And because of that, for the entirety of Passover, we don’t eat unleavened bread. My favorite part of the time is toasted coconut marshmallows and the macaroons; matzah really isn’t the tasty unless you pair it with something savory.
This is easily one of the all-time greats in SNL history. This was absolutely legendary. Keaton took already great/strange material and took it to new depths with that performance....just...damn👏👏👏
Lorne Michaels really doesn't approve of improv unless a sketch turns out to be a disaster and they have to ad-lib their way out (look what happened to Adrien Brody when he dressed like a Jamaican [no black- or brownface, but he did have dreads and did the accent. It was pretty good for something that wouldn't fly today] and introduced Sean Paul), but he probably made an exception here.
@@oscarphile Yeah, when news first dropped that Keaton was in Batman. I was like, YES, of course, he'd be a great Joker, but my friend stopped me and said, no, Keaton IS Batman. My jaw dropped, and my brain broke a little trying to comprehend the corrected information.
@@oscarphile The way I see it, all the best Batmen can be judged by how well they could play the Joker, if pressed. And vice versa. We know Keaton is a front runner there.
It's too convincing to be just an imitation of other people's madness. This comes from deep within. This is like Keaton flashing for the mirror in his raincoat.
"Okay this is Mr. Rodgers if he was Michael Keaton." "Okay this is Mr. Rodgers if he was weird." "Okay this is... creepy." "I don't really know what this is anymore." "Okay this is Michael Keaton."
Michael Keaton actually worked behind the scenes on Mr. Rogers's Neighborhood in, I believe, the 1980s. I know Keaton hosted SNL in 1982 and Dick Ebersol hated him as a host so much that he brought in Michael Palin from Monty Python as a substitute. It wouldn't be until 1992 that Keaton would host again.
This is honestly one of my favorite skits of all time. The background music, supporting characters, and of course Keaton all were impeccably magnificent. Keaton gives off the perfect serial killer/weirdo vibe and is the best at this holiday riff. I have seen all the others, Norton, Liam, etc. and this by far is the best. I will never stop laughing at this skit.

GREAT Last Sketch! One of the best they've done in years. Keaton sells it. You can only do this sort of thing with a terrific actor/comedian. It's all right there on the screen.
Jack Nickleson is basically gonna be on th Mt. Rushmore , of All time greats. You dont become that by worrying about littler actors. And orrying about if your the best or not.
@@theunknown4570 i don't think he means it that literally. Just a better way of saying that Michael Keaton would be a good joker. BTW can't see Nicholson being on the rushmore of anything apart from most appearances on the front row of Los Angeles Lakers games
Keaton's so great in this. He managed to make his head look too big for his body when he said he gave up cocaine for Lent...and in various other parts of the video.
FlyingOverTr0ut Hey I didn’t notice his big head till I saw your comment, how’d he do that?!? He was just so creepy, that voice and what was going on with his front tooth!
This sketch came out of nowhere and I loved it. This is the most I've laughed at an SNL sketch in a long while. This needs to be a recurring character any time Keaton comes back.
The other versions, Ed Norton’s Halloween and Kristen Wiig’s Thanksgiving, have the same types of jokes but can’t hold a candle to Keaton’s performance. Keaton elevated this sketch to legendary status
I think it's one of those things where the writers wouldn't have trusted many other performers with this material. It's too offbeat and weird for anyone who can't deliver the lines flawlessly, the whole sketch probably would have bombed if it was any other performer.
@@Paranoid_Alchemist Since 1975, even though they're also mixing it with adrenaline, Starbucks coffee, unhealthy comparisons, Adderall, fear, undiagnosed mental illness, and whatever is in the blood and urine lab tests of whoever the biggest drug addict in their cast is (mostly John Belushi, Chris Farley, Darrell Hammond [believe it or not, he did have issues with drugs that stemmed from the parental abuse he suffered as a child], and Pete Davidson). It's the potentially lethal combination that's been fueling SNL's humor for years
I was hoping someone else thought this too. Makes you think deeper into Tim Burton's Batman and Beetlejuice (both Keaton). He could've pulled off Wonka too, imagine that
Portia's unnatural frozen smile, unsettling. Keaton's creep talent... Masterclass. It seems so easy for him. He feels the room and unsettles everyone for laughs. A true talent.
interesting that they used his real name in the sketch. ed norton did this originally as a halloween sketch but the difference was that ed was simply called "dad". having keaton play as himself (or some version of himself even) really sheds a different light on it.

Holy fuck the look after "unlike Jesus it doesn't rise" had me on the floor
Right. The skit started to get weird with Portia, then it took a giant step with the motzo (sp, maybe).
what did it meant because I didn’t understand it well
Matzah is what us Jews eat during Passover. It’s remembrance towards our ancestors struggle for their forty years being lost in the desert after Egypt. Matzah is what we eat because they ate it (they didn’t have yeast, so the bread did not rise as they strapped it on their backs to cook it in the sun as the wandered).

Godzillafan216 you wouldn’t h as be known if we didn’t have TH-cam.
Michael Keaton’s range of facial expressions…incredible. The sign of a master actor
Actiiinnng! Brilliant! Thank you!
lol he was Beetlejuice
@@richardpatterson432that and Batman
I swear, Keaton just owned this skit
He knows when to let a joke sit and marinate, the facial expressions, the comedic timing
Just everything
Keaton is widely regarded as among the funniest people that funny people know.
He did do comedy before becoming known as an action star in Batman.
He was a stand up and mainly a comedy actor before Batman so this is right in his wheelhouse
This is easily one of the all-time greats in SNL history. This was absolutely legendary. Keaton took already great/strange material and took it to new depths with that performance....just...damn👏👏👏
1000% Agreed! It might be #1 on my list. It's as if David Lynch directed it
I wouldn't be surprised at all if they just handed Keaton a basket of stuff and he improv'd the whole thing.
Keaton is very diverse he can be villainous or good or comedic so yes I would too hes very cool

"I'm hidin' eggs."
**Throws egg at wall**
Somewhere in Hollywood, Jack Nicholson was watching this and going "Thank God he didn't want to be the Joker. I would have been screwed."
TheNerdyBirdyShow he's the only actor who would've given heath ledger a run for his money.
You betcha!
@FilmGamer Keaton could now play joker in batman. He could be a very funny joker as well.
