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❤️
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.
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!
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.
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.❤
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.
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.
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).
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!
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
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.
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)
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!!
They didn't have to look at the cue cards like they do now. They knew their lines and improvised well too. Miss them.
"The man supplies the mayonnaise.".... that killed me.
Loved Gilda Radnor as Roseanne Rosannadanna!!! RIP 🙌
@@bettyannsmith5267 BAba Wawa 😆
God bless you, Gilda. You continue to inspire so many.
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..
Old SNL madness was the Best times ever!! You could laugh on your worst Days
God bless Gilda, for all the happiness she brought, to millions of people.
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.
SHE WAS REMAKABLE ! I STILL MISS HER EVEN TODAY. 💙🙏
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?
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❤️
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.
Todd and Lisa are iconic! The Lupner’s skits were brilliant!
I miss those old SNL shows!
Gilda’s voice is so great here😂 she’s awesome
🥹 so glad these moments are around to watch again....they were all so young and beautiful
This feels much more like a sitcom than a skit.
I'd watch that sitcom
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....
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! ❤
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.
this is so sweet - the chemistry was great, the humor gentle - ah, the old days...
I love that she's going to the prom in her housecoat. 😄
ANY NEW DEVELOPMENTS GOING ON WITH YOUR CHEST I GUESS NOT.LOL
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.
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. 💖
Gilda was so damn funny, naturally funny too. What a great talent she was.
Buck Henry, picking his nose 😃😅😄🤣🤣
THAT was Buck Henry??? Well, I never knew...saw him. I think of the show, "Get Smart." eg.
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.
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!
Lisa and Todd will always be funny. Gilda was just gold.
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.
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.
'lovely house coat Mrs. Lubner.'
Brings back so many memories. When SNL was good! I miss those days
Me too….I never watch it anymore
The housecoat, classic 70’s wardrobe!
"Since we seem to be handing out compliments, that's a stunning housecoat you're wearing, Mrs. Lubner."
Love those characters Lisa & Todd. Always make me lol..😅🤣😂🤣😅
“I hope this isn’t [picks nose] indelicate...” 😂
RIP Gilda, such a legend.
I absolutely love Gilda, so extremely gifted and beyond comical and funny, she can never be replaced 💯👏🏻🤍🤍
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
Gilda was always my favorite! True talent! No cue cards!! ❤️❤️
Jane Curtin has always been a beauty.
These two were comedic geniuses!
I love Jane Curtin in anything she’s in.
3rd Rock From The Sun
How could ANYONE dislike the sweetest and funniest Gilda!
Oh my gosh,I forgot about Todd and Lisa!!😂These episodes were the best!
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.❤
One of the best skits ever
Lisa Loopner! ...rest in Peace, Gilda. At least Gene's with you now.
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
Did you notice that no one was staring at cue cards? NOW THIS WAS GREAT SNL! 💯💯💯💯💯
"Gee mrs cleaver, thats a lovely dress youre wearing today"
" why thank you, eddie"
You know you're old when you can remember when SNL was funny.
Amen.😂
It was funny in the 90's as well.
Wow. You must be old.
@@dianadurr-ramsey567 I agree, I stopped watching it in 90's
“We aren’t old. We are recycled teenagers.” 😊
“Any new developments” 😂
"That's so funny, I forget to laugh"😂😂😂
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. ❤
This never gets old....freakin' hilarious!
Wasn't Gilda great?
and gorgeous!
She still is.....Great Art never dies...😸✌
willminkorea2010 ya
willminkorea2010 -My favorite on S.N.L.
willminkorea2010 Hahahaha
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 ;)
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.
SNL ruled when The Not Ready for Primetime Players were there! Talk about the talent that was there , what a great time it was!
Gilda was always one of my favorites on SNL.
His pants were killing me. Lol
70s pants!
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.
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.
This was so wholesome
10/10 highly recommend
Who the heck could dislike this? Back when SNL was actually funny and worthwhile to watch.
Oh my god my mom says "forty lashes with a wet noodle"
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.
These 2 were wonderful together! I loved Gilda! It's hard to believe she's been gone a little more than 30 years!
Man! I miss THIS SNL. But I miss Gilda more. 💖
She dead?
Alex Marquettiukn. she died in 1989
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...
Love to see the old skits. Thanks for bringing vintage SNL back. 😂
Rip buck and Gilda u are both missed dearly
Gilda Radner was the real deal! RIP Gilda.
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).
Jane Curtin😊Makes a GREAT Mother🤘🏼🏆
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 just the best, she always made me laugh. I loved the Todd and Lisa skits, classic.
" Tang,the drink of the astronauts, astronauts to the moon,yak,yak,yak!. Thank you coneheads.
The best actors!! Miss seeing them.❤️ Glad I can watch it now. Best of the show.
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.
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 .
Bill Murray, I remember this skit and knew he was gonna be a treasure.
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.
jane curtin who plays gilda's mother is actually one year younger than gilda lol
Oh my god the dad said John Ravolta! 😵
Piemaster927 he’s lived up to that name hahahaha!
A lot of the old people weren’t Travolta fans.
Just love it...thank you
such a sweet sketch, I remember seeing it when it first was on, just out of high school
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
RIP Gilda. e always loved you. A natural so funny and a real treasure.
WE MISS YOU!
After all these years got to love Bill Murray
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.
Hiked up pants! Floods!
I remember this episode a long time ago!!
Too funny! 😂
Gilda you were great we miss you
We lost such a talent. Gilda was so funny without even trying
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)
Uncle Roy!!
Oh wow! I forgot about uncle Roy! Sshhh! Don’t say it too loud though. They’re canceling folks all the way back to the caveman era right now.
one of my favorites of SNL's ... the perfect nerds
The tray full of Tang, omg! (Especially since we actually drank it when we were kids.) And 1-2-3 jello, get out of here...
I remember we wanted to drink Tang because that's what the astronauts drank in space! LOL
My husband still does lol
Tang…what the astronauts drink!!!!!
Always loved Todd & the Lupners... Look at the pants!!! HAHAHA
These bring back my best memories of tv. God why can't we bring back real comedy. Classic
Those were the days. Snl at its best. Hilarious.
