I’m not sure how many times they’d played these characters up to this point. At least a couple, so they had time to flesh out their roles. Perfect vibes for sure.
Gilda doesn’t get nearly the credit she deserves for being a brilliant physical comedian. From the first 20 seconds of the sketch, you can tell she puts everything into her performance. Her facial expressions and movements are hilarious! Every female comedy sketch performer owes her a debt of gratitude. She put so much warmth and joy into all of her characters. Thank you for all the laughs, Gilda❤️
@@thedognoseknows4451 they used cue cards in the very first episode ya dolt. How did you end up with 100 upvotes. They’ve been using cue cards this whole time
I love the representation between a mother and daughter actually supporting and caring for one another, im sick of the enemies cliches because that cliche is not always true.❤
I was in college when SNL premiered. I remember a group of us eagerly sitting in front of the TV just hysterically laughing. We wouldn't miss an episode! Amazingly talented people. They were the best!
I wish NBC would show reruns of these episodes once in a while just to show the younger generation how great this show used to be and how talented these cast members were.
@@khairiledzhamismail1029I don't think Lorne made them look at the cue cards all the time like now. Because some of the SNL alums said Lorne made it mandatory to read from the cards to get a better camera angle sometimes after the show started, he simply did not like the idea of the actors facing each other and not the audience. You know, Lorne got to that point with the trial and error method and Murray & Radner were the first generation of SNL, you can't just say that memorizing is the best way to make a sketch better.
Remembering these early SNL days is special! So glad we can still watch with pride at how creatively these skits were written an performed! Genius to this day! Amen! ❤
Thought the same. The ending left the tone not of laughing at, but with the characters. There wasn't malice. The characters are total dorks but instantly likable and relatable.
Such wholesome humor! The early years with the original SNL cast in my opinion were the BEST! The many characters they created were priceless. So talented. Gilda was my favorite. RIP dear lady. Now that the real BA BA WA WA has passed I hope you both meet in heaven.
OMG!! One of the best SNL sketches ever!! Tang! I wish they would post the one where Lisa and Todd "make out". Hysterical!! RIP Buck (last January) and Gilda!
Oh God, I love the Nerds! I used to watch SNL as a kid and stay up way past my bedtime to watch the show! It was 90 minutes of hilarity plus great musical acts! I miss that Show now but at least I can watch it again on TH-cam! Classic Live Comedy! Thanks TH-cam! The late Seventies was a great time for music with the Punk explosion and then came New Wave Music! They actually had Elvis Costello and the Attractions on back when he was still an angry young punk! What great music that was! Good Times!
SNL was so much funnier... back then with the not ready for prime time players. Gilda was so funny... a true comic genius... and a legend. The characters she portrayed were hilarious. Gilda you have been gone so long... but not forgotten.
geekymelanin None taken... to each they're own. Everyone has a different opinion of what they think is funny and humorous. I prefer comedy that is not so vulger and offensive. I happen to think this is funny. Have a good day.
geekymelanin you don’t find the way Gilda’s character talks funny? I was rolling over in tears. Look at Bill Murray’s pants. “No new developments” (goes for breasts) “guess not”. Don’t you get the ‘providing the mayonnaise’ reference when she refers making babies to making egg salad?
I saw this for the first time when I was 20, about ten years ago, and yeah, my first thought was "Oof. Sad people." But now that I'm quite a bit older I think "I'd love to he Lisa." Lol She's so sweet, she can laugh at herself, she accepts everyone (including herself) for who they are, she doesn't let looks define anyone in her own mine, she's funny, she's got an amazing mother. I mean, what a fantastic character. Wish they still made skits like this one.
this is great. great acting, lines, jokes .. one of the best. "Any new developments there?" "You should put some bandage on the mosquito bites you got there". Absolutely hilarious.
Yeah. Though if a guy were to do that in real life to a girl, they better be ready to get a punch in the nuts. Peanuts. Geddit? Ha-hah! (snorts + shoulder heaves)
It wasn't sexual harassment; it was just harassment. Didn't you watch the goofy sexless relationship between those two? It is part of the joke of them being nerds.
I have to agree -- in this instance, it's really just two friends (who probably like each other) screwing with each other. This is a long running skit series, and these two characters are close. They have an understanding about physicality.
I know that some bad things happened back then during the time, but I tend to think of the seventies as being a more innocent decade, compared to what the world is going through now. RIP Gilda.
It was the turning point between the way things pretty much always used to be to the new greedy repugnicon era with their first feckless leader, ron reagan, the actor.
The times Buck Henry hosted were always the best! It was guaranteed you’d get a Samurai sketch and at least one sketch they could never get away with today (I.e. Uncle Roy the babysitter)
Band aids on those mosquito bites - Nuggies For All, LOL ! I always think of this skit whenever I hear the word nuggie. Lisa/Gilda Radner gave us laugher with every great memorable character she portrayed on SNL. (RIP).
I saw this on TV xx years ago, that's when sat night was funny and relevant , loved everything about this show. It should be released again for the thirty plus folks have never seen, just love it.
Those were the good old days of TV. I loved watching SNL every weekend. They all played their part so very well love this one Gilda was so funny she is missed .
my mother and father and I would huddle around our little black and white TV and watch SNL together those were great times all 3 of us ROTFL our butts off then repeating the best lines all week long until next weekend
God bless Gilda, for all the happiness she brought, to millions of people.
Bill & Gilda had a great chemistry together. Their skits were always wonderful.
Oh, yes! There's a certain special something in the air whenever they play off each other.
Legend has it, Bill, Gilda, and Gene Wilder partook in three ways
Weren’t they dating then.
Yes. They were in love. Look at the other clip of Lisa' felt sweater.
Didn't he abuse her in their relationship?
Jane & Gilda. Two performers of staggering brilliance and genius. And they vibe like a mum & daughter.
I’m not sure how many times they’d played these characters up to this point. At least a couple, so they had time to flesh out their roles. Perfect vibes for sure.

Agreed 💯! I noticed the way she shuffles over to and up the stairs after Todd rings the bell. She’s totally in character. Warmth and joy indeed!
I can say is, my sons grew up on SNL, and watch to this day, as I've been watching from the first!! 😂❤
Gilda's the bar by which all other SNL females are judged by, one of the original Not Ready For Prime Time Players. RIP GR.
She was amazing and my comedy hero. So sad when she died.
Forever Gilda Radner.
I profoundly admired Gilda Radner. I have never forgotten her.
I am 56, and as a little girl I did my own skits of Rosanna Rosanna Danna!😊
She was perfect!!
@@anitarose7915 Lupner’s skits were brilliant
They didn't have to look at the cue cards like they do now. They knew their lines and improvised well too. Miss them.
@@thedognoseknows4451 they used cue cards in the very first episode ya dolt. How did you end up with 100 upvotes. They’ve been using cue cards this whole time
God bless you, Gilda. You continue to inspire so many.
Old SNL madness was the Best times ever!! You could laugh on your worst Days
To this day, Gilda was the sweetest and most talented female comedian I have ever seen. Impossible not to like her.
True Story...
And her love for Gene Wilder😊
Like Chris, and the 2 John's, she left us too soon
I don’t like her
I read once that John Belushi was on record saying that women can't be funny. Working with Gilda Radner should have shown him that that's not true.
SHE WAS REMAKABLE ! I STILL MISS HER EVEN TODAY. 💙🙏
This was when we all stayed up in the dorm and watched as a communal experience. Those were the days. It was always funnier to watch with a group.
Pot was never involved. :)
I was a child then but my older sister and I would stay up and watch it on her small black and white TV.
Yes. Same.
Yes! Order pizza,make some nachos,and SNL.
Same here, I had the only TV on my dorm floor and had a full house every Saturday night. Alcohol was never involved either....
Gilda’s voice is so great here😂 she’s awesome
Todd's pants that came up to his arm pits.....there are no words to describe how funny that is!!!
And the pencils in the hanky pocket - no nerd touch left untaken.
I love the representation between a mother and daughter actually supporting and caring for one another, im sick of the enemies cliches because that cliche is not always true.❤
I was in college when SNL premiered. I remember a group of us eagerly sitting in front of the TV just hysterically laughing. We wouldn't miss an episode! Amazingly talented people. They were the best!
🥹 so glad these moments are around to watch again....they were all so young and beautiful
Todd and Lisa are iconic! The Lupner’s skits were brilliant!
I miss those old SNL shows!
This feels much more like a sitcom than a skit.
I'd watch that sitcom
I can watch this over and over. They were all so brilliant especially Gilda.
Definitely a different kind of humor. I really like vintage humor, but this skit I just didn't get.
Lisa Loopner! ...rest in Peace, Gilda. At least Gene's with you now.
Gilda was so awesome, I miss her. Love those pants on Bill Murray, LOL.
If you watch how he maneuvers to sit down it is quite obvious that he is quite uncomfortable.
Because they loved each other. 💖
I wish NBC would show reruns of these episodes once in a while just to show the younger generation how great this show used to be and how talented these cast members were.
We need them now in quarantine!
The Not Ready for Prime Time Players would out-do the prime-time players of any generation.
I noticed the old snl comedians never looked at que cards to deliver their lines. Quality man.. Quality...

as a 17 year old i second this I wish I had easier access to older snl sketches
"The man supplies the mayonnaise.".... that killed me.
Remembering these early SNL days is special! So glad we can still watch with pride at how creatively these skits were written an performed! Genius to this day! Amen! ❤
this is so sweet - the chemistry was great, the humor gentle - ah, the old days...
How could ANYONE dislike the sweetest and funniest Gilda!
Loved Gilda Radnor as Roseanne Rosannadanna!!! RIP 🙌
@@bettyannsmith5267 BAba Wawa 😆
Gilda was so damn funny, naturally funny too. What a great talent she was.
He was born without a spine... It was just a matter of time... 😂 😂
The guy who invented the smiley face in Worcester during an advert convention ma never trademarked it so someone else did and he got zilch..
I know that was supposed to be funny, but I found it to be quite sentimental, and charming. It was well done.
Thought the same. The ending left the tone not of laughing at, but with the characters. There wasn't malice. The characters are total dorks but instantly likable and relatable.
Agreed - a beautiful comment yours.
Yes, when comedy was endearing and not full of filth. I am 56 and I miss the old days!❤
Very nice observation.
This is my favorite Gilda Radner character, her voice cracks me up!
"You're so immatuuure" cracks me up.
This one and when She played the little kid Judy Miller. Makes me LMAO.
Gilda was always my favorite! True talent! No cue cards!! ❤️❤️
I absolutely love Gilda, so extremely gifted and beyond comical and funny, she can never be replaced 💯👏🏻🤍🤍
Love to see the old skits. Thanks for bringing vintage SNL back. 😂
Such wholesome humor! The early years with the original SNL cast in my opinion were the BEST! The many characters they created were priceless. So talented. Gilda was my favorite. RIP dear lady. Now that the real BA BA WA WA has passed I hope you both meet in heaven.
The Not Ready for Prime Time Players were waaaaaaaaaay before their time
Not so sure what is so wholesome about band-aids on mosquito bites.
@@MickSupper how old are you ? if you're young the joke flew over your head like a jet plane if older you lack a sense of humor
@@michaellorenzen8200 I never said anything about it being funny or not, I said there's nothing wholesome about it. And no, it wasn't funny.
She's probably in heaven in a hot tub with Hugh downs and now Henry kissinger can join them and it can be reported on 20/20 my Bad that's Cheri Oteri
Lisa and Todd --- A 20th century American love story with lots of noogies.
This is like a tiny time capsule of the American experience in the 70s. It's funny to see how times have changed in only 40 years.
"only 40 years" okayy
What do you think has changed the most? Based on this skit.
I prefer the original Not Ready for Prime Time players.
@@elizabethcosslett8937 Remember kissing hello? Shaking hands? Standing close together? :) I miss those things!
@@BeLoud13 The kissing hello thing always got me in trouble with strangers ;)
I love that she's going to the prom in her housecoat. 😄
Wasn't Gilda great?
and gorgeous!
She still is.....Great Art never dies...😸✌

willminkorea2010 -My favorite on S.N.L.

Lisa and Todd will always be funny. Gilda was just gold.
I love Jane Curtin in anything she’s in.
3rd Rock From The Sun
ANY NEW DEVELOPMENTS GOING ON WITH YOUR CHEST I GUESS NOT.LOL
This is back in the days when SNL was good! 👍
Yep
Did you notice that no one was staring at cue cards? NOW THIS WAS GREAT SNL! 💯💯💯💯💯
Man! I miss THIS SNL. But I miss Gilda more. 💖
She dead?
Alex Marquettiukn. she died in 1989
Buck Henry, picking his nose 😃😅😄🤣🤣
THAT was Buck Henry??? Well, I never knew...saw him. I think of the show, "Get Smart." eg.
When Jane turned off the lights, I got goosebumps. They just don't make comedy like this anymore.
That was my favorite part.
me too 😢
Wow, I felt it too. ❤
One of my favorite skits! I loved Todd and Lisa. But without Mrs Lupner nothing would have worked, shes the best!
God, this bring back memories. I remember staying up late with my sister to watch Saturday Night. I was just six, I loved Gilda; she was my favorite.
These 2 were wonderful together! I loved Gilda! It's hard to believe she's been gone a little more than 30 years!
'lovely house coat Mrs. Lubner.'
Rip Gilda, they don't make them like you anymore.
She was one in a million, wasn't she?
She was remarkably funny, sure miss her wit...
OMG!! One of the best SNL sketches ever!! Tang! I wish they would post the one where Lisa and Todd "make out". Hysterical!!
RIP Buck (last January) and Gilda!
Wow! I can remember this skit when it first aired on TV! Love it so much…
❤🎉❤
I loved the Lisa and Todd sketches as a kid. Thanks
Oh my gosh,I forgot about Todd and Lisa!!😂These episodes were the best!
Who the heck could dislike this? Back when SNL was actually funny and worthwhile to watch.
Gilda was always one of my favorites on SNL.
Oh God, I love the Nerds! I used to watch SNL as a kid and stay up way past my bedtime to watch the show!
It was 90 minutes of hilarity plus great musical acts! I miss that Show now but at least I can watch it again on TH-cam!
Classic Live Comedy! Thanks TH-cam!
The late Seventies was a great time for music with the Punk explosion and then came New Wave Music! They actually had Elvis Costello and the Attractions on back when he was still an angry young punk! What great music that was! Good Times!
The late Seventies were full of disco too. Don't tell me you didn't like disco, EVERYBODY loved disco.
When SNL was fresh and fun!
It was really nice waiting for SNL to come on and everyone sitting around and laughing together!
Good stuff
IDK why but this somehow makes me sad ;'(
Pity for nerds perhaps :/
It makes me think of a simpler more innocent time.. idk what it is but a prom today seems more fake.. is it just me?
me too, no one could be sweeter than Gilda by a long shot
Valerie Young
Go Fuck yourself snowflake
Thomas Schneider Shut up.
The first time I saw the original I loved it. I laughed and laughed. Thank you for bringing back a great moment in comedy.
“I hope this isn’t [picks nose] indelicate...” 😂
Love those characters Lisa & Todd. Always make me lol..😅🤣😂🤣😅
This is 39 years old. Damn.
Foodisgood its 40 years old now
@Andrew Brunnette yes it is
Its gonna hit its midlife crisis soon lol
Andrew Brunnette not that “old” how about 60 yrs old
You: not that old
I forgot how cute these sketches were.

So does Sally Acorn, whom Jane should really voice.

Bills Muray pants...
You must mean Bills "Muray-Pants"! I've had 3 pair! A lot of people thought I was Bill Murray! LOL
Gilda Radner was the real deal! RIP Gilda.
Buck Henry’s laugh is everything!
THANKS! I was scanning comments to find his name mentioned. OMG Buck Henry - I wonder if he's still alive. Nope - he died @ 89 in 2020. A long life.
I always wished Lisa and Todd would get married. They would make each other laugh. Her marriage to Gene Wilder sounds like it was like that.
Brings back so many memories. When SNL was good! I miss those days
Me too….I never watch it anymore
“Any new developments” 😂
I always loved Lisa, Todd and Chaz the Spaz. Favorites of mine.
One of the best skits ever
I saw this for the first time when I was 20, about ten years ago, and yeah, my first thought was "Oof. Sad people." But now that I'm quite a bit older I think "I'd love to he Lisa." Lol
She's so sweet, she can laugh at herself, she accepts everyone (including herself) for who they are, she doesn't let looks define anyone in her own mine, she's funny, she's got an amazing mother. I mean, what a fantastic character. Wish they still made skits like this one.
This was so wholesome
10/10 highly recommend
this is great. great acting, lines, jokes .. one of the best.
"Any new developments there?"
"You should put some bandage on the mosquito bites you got there". Absolutely hilarious.
"...here's special those prom nuggies you ordered!"
Yeah. Though if a guy were to do that in real life to a girl, they better be ready to get a punch in the nuts. Peanuts. Geddit? Ha-hah! (snorts + shoulder heaves)
Alex Thomas Yeah sexual harassment is so hilarious
It wasn't sexual harassment; it was just harassment. Didn't you watch the goofy sexless relationship between those two? It is part of the joke of them being nerds.
I have to agree -- in this instance, it's really just two friends (who probably like each other) screwing with each other. This is a long running skit series, and these two characters are close. They have an understanding about physicality.
Oh my god my mom says "forty lashes with a wet noodle"
RIP Gilda. e always loved you. A natural so funny and a real treasure.
WE MISS YOU!
RIP Gilda, such a legend.
"That's so funny, I forget to laugh"😂😂😂
RIP, the GREAT GILDA❤❤❤❤
I know that some bad things happened back then during the time, but I tend to think of the seventies as being a more innocent decade, compared to what the world is going through now. RIP Gilda.
