The first “YES!” From Keenan gets me every time. He really sells the shock. Love it.
It's so damn good. The quick timing and the look on his face will always be one of those comedy bits I can start laughing about just thinking of it.
I think its great I feel like the audience suddenly understands the bit
Absolutely! It's like he's reacting to playing spades with his white friend for the first time, and they know what they're doing haha.
Kenan lifts it to another level of excellence. There is no down-time in this skit.
Keenan is really hard not to like
Tom's delivery of "what is, not a daaamn thing" is just so pure and golden. And the ladies' appreciative reaction to it just makes it even better. The writers and cast really outdid themselves with this one I'll tell ya h'what.
But I did not understand what does it mean?
@@PrinzpolkDoug is a homie dawg common cuz
@@Prinzpolkwhat it meant was that he was clowning on skinny women, and all the fat women love that😂😂
@@chelsealavaya7263 except Sasheer isn't 'sturdy' so her reaction doesn't make sense.
@@Prinzpolk A thin skinny princess isn't going to go Mow the Lawn when you are sick. You need a woman who got some meat on her bones.
I don't think anyone could have imagined how well this bit would age.
"lives that matter" my jaw dropped
Boner Jamz oh everyone’s favorite comment: bad sarcasm
Will still be relevant in 50 years. Americans can be relied on to do the right thing, after they've tried everything else.
my jaw dropped once it got to lives that matter
Well said Roy✌👍
“Mm I don’t know, he got teeth don’t he?”
That floored me 😂
One of my favorite lines.😆😆😆
OMG!! LMAO!!❤😂
Uh uh...the good chair...give Granddaddy the good chair...I'm dying dying!!!❤
Darnell going in for the handshake and Doug backing up like he's getting robbed was an overlooked gem in this skit
Yes! I was just about to make that comment everyone else did. I’ve been watching the skit for a few years, it’s funny that you beat me to this comment by 20 hours
I dunno about that he felt like he's getting robbed, more like he didn't know exactly what was going to happen, and was skittish
It was very relatable
I love watching Shanice trying to keep it together right after
@@zimriel he put his hands up
Tom Hanks lol don't hit 😂
This sketch perfectly illustrates that people are more separated by class than by race. Hilarious and ballsy.
HAH!! Exactly...United Arab Emirates: I know who they are in this soap opera but I had a blank spot the other day. I was watching a commercial and Jennifer Anniston was doing a commercial for Emmerites Airlines. She never or I hardly ever see her do commercials. It was just one of those weird things that just didnt sit right. Isnt that airline owned by Saudi Arabia? It didnt sit right, weird.
My take away is that people are 90% the same but the rest of the 10% really start defining who we are, in a lot of ways. This is why all the contestants were equally picking off the answers throughout the game show and why, when it came to Final Black Jeopardy, Doug was clearly going to lose and the host and other contestants clearly took issue with it. Black people feel marginalized and the single white guy couldn't see it from this perspective.
But, I definitely agree with you that this was hilarious and ballsy.
David Lor Let me ask you something. Since the installment (or election) of the countless black aldermen/women in the black neighborhoods, how much better have those neighborhoods fared economically, safety, and crime wise? Was there the improvement that was supposed to have been seen? I havent seen it. It just looks to me that the only blacks that had an improvement were those elected and their own inner circles. The rest stayed the same.
David Lor your comment just goes back to Berk's original point that people are actually separated by class and not by race.... If a black person feels marginalized it is largely because of some notion instilled into them from this idea of being part of a "black community" that is separate from the mainstream American culture at large. The political class both fosters and utilizes this exactly so that it can create the conditions where we believe ourselves, as a society, to be separated by race. So in a way we really are separated by race, at least apparently, but this separation is artificial and contrived having been created so that we don't become wise to the fact that it is only class that is separating us, naturally, in truth, in our so-called "classless society". This is why working class people of all races intuitively understand that the game is rigged and they are being conspired against. The real conspiracy is, of course, nothing like they imagine, but what they imagine has been fueled by the unconscious awareness of what is really happening to them.
I see the same change in other communities as well. What do you suppose is the culprit to this lack of change? And how can we address it?
“Not a damn thang” gets me every time. 😂😂😂😂
I had to watch that part over and over again. It was perfect.
I also like, "My guys name is Jimmy."
@Him Him Thin women don't necessarily like the pressure to be thin or skinny women. There is always someone skinnier.
@Him Him Actually, women are having plastic surgery to enlarge their rear ends.
@Him Him It depends on what you call fat.
OMG right 😂😂😂😂 Sturdy gal
I like how they show that people, no matter your color of skin, have more in common when you share the same tax bracket.
Um, no. They are pointing out black people and southern conservative white people have more in common than society will admit.
@@labountisure but they usually are in the same tax bracket. Coincidence?
Only color that matters is green.
Imagine if people realized the truth.
@@labounti have you ever been to the south before? the majority of the ppl there are black lol
Keenan’s face every time Doug gets an answer right tho
lol
The whole skit revolved around reactions. Darnell's reaction when Doug gets the first one right, the awkward handshake, and the "Not a damn thing" reaction. Of course, the "What Lives Matter" had the best reactions of all. They KNEW where it was about to go!
Kenan makes this bit work, tbh.
:0
Kenan is the best
They managed to make fun of black and white people with the absolute best stereotypes out there, without anyone getting triggered
luggi lu it’s the cold fusion of comedy
I'm triggered, I just have to come up with a good reason why... I'll think of something.
because it was blacks making fun duh..
Yet
We need more triggers
This is some of Tom Hanks best acting ever. How shook he got when Keenan approached him was just A+.
and he kept twitching after... and the look on his face when he first sees "lives that matter"... comedy wizard.
Yup just a good example of how biased Snl has gotten.... Good reason not to watch anymore
@@stevebri9161 tf?
@@nickg3066 Because they make fun of trump and anyone who votes for him
@@stevebri9161 not really
Kenan's "well it was good while it lasted, Doug" at the end is pure gold.
Kills me everytime. Funniest line of the skit.
“skinny women can do this for you”
Doug: “Not a damed thing”
Boy I spit out my sprite so fast 😂😂😂
was it spicy?
I can’t stop laughing really I have never seen these skits before. Lmao @ Tom Hanks
😂my fav part. the only thing they can do is disappoint!
@robert campbell I am writing this as tears run down my face. I needed a good laugh tonight so thanks! You are spot on about Walmart!
How did we become the black soda
Darnell: Skinny women can do this for you..
Doug: What is "Not a Damn Thing"
Had me HOLLERING ☠☠
YES!
@ShaQuala Davis I watch the whole skit specifically for that part 😆
So sad im not a native speaker and I didnt catch this point:-(
I hurt myself! 🤣🤣🤣
@@shas150 It’s just basically saying that generally people don’t like “skinny” women. Which the 90s were all about being crazy skinny but not anymore (thankfully).
"My dog doesn't bite."
"Mm, I don't know, he's got teeth, don't he?"
I'm a postman, and I've heard that one.
Rural carrier, 31 years, yeah, they DO!
@Clu Rosencrans Of Course. It's "My dog doesn't bite" we hear, over and over!
Bro, we have this little min pin, tiny little shit, if anybody that works for a living kicked it in the head it would die. But it thinks it is a holy terror. It is doberman min pin, like two and a half feet long tops, thirty pounds if.. but we have to wait until carriers leave the yard completely to even open the door. It's like he thinks every mail carrier is Satan.
As a dog groomer back in the day, too damn relatable hahahahaha
@@beckytraster3729 And then it is ALWAYS, "Not MY dog!". Every, every time!
Tom Hanks backing away with his hands up as Kenan walks up to him is subtley the funniest thing in this whole skit xD
I saw it. I'm observant.
Apparently it was improvised, which makes it even better.
That's even better. Lady on the left looks like she's taking an absolute mental note how to act like an academy award winner.
😂 i thought that was the funniest part
It’s a reminder of why these groups of people don’t hang out despite having so much in common
Y'all out here forgetting that Tom Hanks was originally a damned good comedian. He killed this skit!
The way you phrased the start of your sentence made it sound like you going to say he was a bad comedian. I'm glad it didn't end that way
@@thatoneguy7024 Oh hell no. That man is one of the greatest actors of all time. Always respect that🙏
Tom Hanks is a damned good EVERYTHING! Comedian, dramatic actor, husband, father, nice guy!
He could do a 2 hour movie of him doing shadow puppets and eating baloney..... and I would pay money to see it!
He is always being somebody else, but as well as if he really was. He started his career passing as female, here he is passing for black, sorta, passed for airline pilot, ship's pilot, and always as well as if it's really him.
Wishing they could clone this man.
Scared the bejeezus out of me when I heard he caught covid.
@9752matt Wait, what?
As a black man living in the south who knows MAGAs, the skit really does illustrate how much rural whites and blacks have in common.
And how much nonsense each had been told about the other
Thank you, James! I'd like to bring you over a banana puddin' for that answer :-) If you listen to the news, you'd think the South is in a full on race war.
I know a lot of people that support trump and they are nothing like what the media and Hollywood claim.
I’m in Alabama they nailed this skit he act exactly like he’s from bama I’m born and raised down here in Mobile
TheMg44563 ok then, yeah our southern dialect thick down here some thicker than others...
Keenan is the unsung hero that makes this skit legendary. His timing is impeccable and delivery perfect.
It's a tie between him and Eddie Murphy for the goat of SNL
The end is golden. Well Doug it's been fun
Yay pdx!
That first response to Doug when he says "YES!!" is amazing
Like it supposed to be my friend...
5:05 Keenan’s “we’’ll give you a pass this time” is underrated. A lessor actor would have made it mean or sarcastic. Keenan’s vibe - we love you Doug, but you’re on thin ice. Choose wisely.
This was literally my favorite part of this skit. Underrated gold.😂
This is probably the most intelligent, most perpetually relevant and downright hilarious skit I've seen on SNL in a looonnng time.
Released about three years too early
It is funny, even I had a good chuckle. And I hate SNL. But it is not intelligent.
@Dick N. Uranus Could not agree more. This video makes white people out to be ignorantly racist. Which is a simply false.
The reason Trump was elected was bc we are tired of the establishment controlling this country. He is calling out the Globalists and the establishment. #DrainTheSwamp is in progress. And the best is yet to come.
@@jdfisher333 I have a low IQ due to being dropped on my head as a baby. To me, this is the comedy equivalent of Schrödinger's Cat (alas, poor puss). However, I'm willing to compromise. Would "clever" be more acceptable? When I use clever, I mean snakes in a can clever, not Sponge Bob Square Pants clever. Let me know. I'm willing to work with you here, Joey.
@@jdfisher333 Globalists? The people who still think the earth is sphere. Yeah, they're nuts. N, U, double T. Nuts.
This is one of the best SNL skits they've ever done. It's hilarious, topical, and surprisingly understanding of other people's views without just taking easy cheap shots. Making the Doug character relatable despite massive political differences was great, and managing to do that without coming across as preachy. Whoever wrote this one is on another level.
The best comment yet
I have a feeling Tom Hanks had some input here.
This skit was from the pre-Trump era. I think a lot of it has to do with the fact we weren't having cheap shots at each other like we do now.
@@JJohnston4Life I don't think that's accurate. He's wearing a MAGA hat and the skit is 4 years old, which would be Trumps first year. This was right in the heart of Trump era, and fully within the time everyone was taking cheap shots at each other, which is what makes this skit so beautiful by not stooping to the level everyone else was at that time. This skit is a masterpiece of comedic professionalism.
It has Tom Hanks....he makes everything good
This sketch is the best thing SNL has put out in years. You gotta love how they put a new spin on it every time. Tom Hanks is a national treasure.
Kelly I totally agree! Tom Hanks is a class act too! I had a selfie done with him and a group of fans at one of his movie premiers. He was so polite and funny, no ego! It was very refreshing!
Actually Nicholas Cage is the national treasure.
Actually Nicholas Cage finds national treasures. Meaning, National Treasure 3: Finding the Hanks.
Kelly c
Qupid VOneOhOne Actually, Tom Hanks finds National Treasures as Robert Langdon. Tom wins in every situation here😁
Keegan rocking with Doug's answers is so great. That "YES!" is from the soul. That "good for you" in the beginning was hilarious
...Keegan? Uh oh..
Tom Hanks, a top film star, went out of his way to take SNL seriously and perform within their format rather than trying to take over the show. He blended into the ensemble perfectly.
Ray Gordon Teaches Chess look back Tom hanks has killed it on SNL for 30+ years
True. But is that really a shock? ☺ Hasn't he run off with the title of nicest man in Hollywood for DECADES now?
@@wall91nutz my favorite is the Mr. Belvedere Fan Club sketch-
As an actor, I say without a doubt, they were all great artists in the sketch; SNL has been one of the top performance shows for decades, run by legendary Lorne Michaels. Everyone that gets to perform on it, is either at the top or on their way to the top of their game.
Of course, the very top is hardest to reach, unless you're an idiot, like nick stix
@@sace2616 Suck-up. It's so pc, it's must-not-see TV.
Nicholas Stix, Uncensored
I lost my shite when Tom put his hands up when Keenan approaches him.....lmao
Yep. Plenty of shit was lost. I almost collapsed on the floor with that part.
I lost it at “You know Cecil?!”
"What is NOT A DAMN THING" i say Amen to that.
every one did...
That was improvised by Hanks. Kenan is a pro and went along with it.
Whoever wrote this skit needs to be promoted. Keep them as your main writer for all of your skits SNL. This episode was gold.
Shelby Reece your right this was too funny.
Shelby Reece hell yeah
Michael Che (from Weekend Update) and Bryan Tucker (one of the show's writers) - wrote the sketch.
Shelby Reece
Only because of Hanks. The others sucked.
This sketch has been deemed culturally, historically or aesthetically significant and has been earmarked for preservation by the Library of Congress.
If you don't find this funny, you lack a funny bone. It pokes fun, at the fringes, just enough.
Oh wow, really?!
it should be.
he should wear a Dress as Before and Say he's a Commentator for Fox News
God I wish. ;~;
Most underrated line in this is "when we come back, we'll play the national anthem and just see what the hell happens"
I have to say that i probably played this at least 15 times before it dawned on me.
When was that?
@@irisqueen4376 6:15 - Right at the end of the clip.
It's assanine.
@B O B Spelled backwards Really can't tell if you're being sarcastic my guy
I like the way they did this sketch, to find more common ground rather than division. Well done, Hanks was great.
Yeah, they took a different angle than I was expecting. Made me laugh. Great skit.
FilmsFor SMARTpeople Kenan was killin' it too.
FilmsFor SMARTpeople reminds new of when comedy was a craft and not a predictable idealogical dig
eblalgen ya damn right
ya the writers for this were on point. What's funny is where I grew up it was a kind of blue collar neighborhood and Tom Hanks is exactly on point
One of the all time great SNL skits. To this day still laugh at "NOT A DAMN THING"
I rewatched it today just for that line lol
@@KG-zz8ik lol Same...just now
"Welllll ... it was good while it lasted" along with the looks from Leslie and Shasheer bring this one home perfectly. As good as it gets.
😂
@@yannickomani7382 Yep. Total stink eyes.
"My wife, she's a sturdy gal 😂😂"
Tom Hanks is one hell of an actor.
I was about to click off the video when I saw Tom Hanks' hat but then I remembered that the cast are democrats so I hope it was a meme...
Aidan Morris he’s just portraying a hick 😂
@@mindyschocolate What cracks me up about that word "hick" is that most of y'all have no idea what livin in the rural south is even like. Go to the barber shop and see black and white folk sittin around shootin the breeze. Go to the river, pond or lake and you'll see white and black folk fishin and knockin back a few beers together shit talkin each other seein who's gonna catch the biggest. It's actually a shock for most of us when we venture out of our little neck of the woods and head up north or west for a vacation to places like NYC, Chicago, Cali & etc and all we see is black and white folk at each other's throats. It's not lost on us down here that whenever someone wants to portray a racist they immediately dawn a terrible southern accent but what's funny is all these hate crimes, police shootings and etc seem to be taking place in primarily non-southern areas..... more often than not they're in Democrat/Leftist controlled areas. Places where "hicks" aren't located.
I'm not gonna say "Duh", I'm gonna go with Nick Cage
You don't say!? :o
@@demonicruins7413 Damn right man. The south is villified for no reason.
Whoever wrote this sketch is a genius. They really highlighted some of the socioeconomic similarities between black and white folks in this country. For better and for worse.
Correction *similarities between black and poor white folks*
Mufasa's Brother was Foul AF Point taken.
I believe Michael Che wrote it
Mufasa's Brother was Foul AF Correction *similarities between poor black folk and poor white folk*
Why doesn't it say "Poor black jeopardy" then?
Final category 😂😂 it was good while it lasted doug
And also the "we gonna play the national anthem just to see what the hell happened" was brilliant
😂😂😂😂
LMAOOO
Shut up, plain Jane ass clout chaser
This video should be in a museum.
And I like how he said I got a lot to say about this because people that boil things down to a slogan aren't your friends.
Out of all the Black Jeopardy episodes this is by far the best
The best part is when Keenan goes to shake Doug's hands and he backs up like he's scared
patosaurus 72 😂😂😂😂
I was Weak. Lmao
he was afraid tar and the aids would rub off on him.

Not near. It is spot on perfect.
Nah he was just born with a funny looking face.
Demontriell Flippins 😂😂😂😂
perfect at validating anti-black stereotypes
*****
Well they should do that without including all the black stereotypes that many Americans accept as factual
Tom Hanks is great obviously, but can we acknowledge once again how Kenan Thompson is just the most consummate SNL workhorse? he can sell any line, make any skit work, makes every character better. he's just automatic. like Tracy Morgan. like Chris Farley.
cmz8706 agreed :) :)
cmz8706 he just delivered the whole show !! good acting
Can't forget good burger
Ooooh weeeee....what up wit that?
I must also add that the dude doesn't age!!
Six years later, and it’s still the greatest SNL sketch of all time 😂
Second...after Matt Foley
I'm not sure if that shows how great a sketch this is or how bad SNL has been for the last decade or so.
I agree
Slow your role. It was funny, but of "all time"? Not hardly.
Church lady jimmy swaggert
Kenan Thompson's character blended perfectly with Tom Hanks' character.
It was as if they met in the parking lot of a Lowes or Home Depot.
100% authentic, sincere and realistic, as each and every one of us have encountered a Doug.

Proof that Tom Hanks can play pretty much any role
omg guys thank you so much I've never had this many likes on one comment!
Patron Best Actor ever
Patron Tom is great!
He also played himself in Celebrity Jeopardy :D
Patron any question?
Patron not to mention he can do a great accent as well. Have you seen him in "The Terminal" I think that's the name of the movie where he has to live in an airport for a long time. I believe it was based on a true story if I'm not mistaken.
"Skinny girls can do this for you. Doug?" 'What is 'Not a damn thing'?"
Cracks me up every time.
And the super skinny girl is over there laughing to this 🙃
Facts tho
That was so freaking funny
Sure, who doesn't love chunky, sweaty women...
Skinny women are far more attractive. Thin people in general are more attractive
I love that you can see Tom Hanks almost break when he says "You people are fun... can I say that?" such a classic bit. My favorite cast member (Kenan) combined with one of my favorite guests (Tom Hanks) makes for pure gold, man.

My favorite underrated part of this skit is that there are no real answers. As long as Darnell agrees, you win.
Edit because the replies are driving me mad: In actual Jeopardy, you need to get the answer exactly correct, word-for-word. But in this skit, Darnell accepts any answer he personally agrees with, even if it is not the "correct", exact answer.
Sorry I didn't explain myself well enough in the original comment, but these replies are driving me up the wall.
Easily overlooked on that new shit show
It’s prevalent in every version of this skit (they’ve done it multiple times) and it’s definitely my favorite part

@@joanaasta6796 quite a few people, more specifically people of color, kneel during the National Anthem and it makes a lot of people upset for some reason while other people of color and white saviors try to defend them. That’s what it’s referencing
@@QGonline thanks! this skit is a gem
@@QGonline The people who get offended see the kneeling as disrespectful to our flag and our country, which is absurd. It is literally the most passive, peaceful thing you can do to show respect to the people of color who have lost their lives in senseless acts of violence. This is one of the main reasons why people on the left and people on the right are always fighting. People on the left are not afraid to face these harsh realities directly, while people on the right want them to go away because they don't like feeling uncomfortable and having to address their own flaws.
I'm honestly surprised by the maturity (of the majority) of the comments.

The other part that makes this work is the respect it still gives to the MAGA supporter in the process. They lampoon without making it offensive.
@@kunou126 Good point.
Tom Hanks had only one job and he knocked it out of the park lol everyone just had such great chemistry this skit will still be funny in 20 years lol
What did he do? _i_could have done better
@@charliesargent6225 sure buddy, unless you’re actually an embodiment of his character lol
In 20 years it will be removed as "stereotyping". Honestly, I am surprised they actually put it on air. Especially in today's "woke" world.
@@trvman1 Woke World: 2 woke 2 furious
the word woke is overused to the point it means nothing
This is in no way great SNL.
“What is not a damn thing?” Best joke of the sketch
“My Cecil’s name is Jimmy & he fixed my refrigerator, my air conditioner & my cat.” 😂 😆
I guess my "Cecil" is Bill, but he's an old farmer that fixes stray cats on the regular. Catches the males, sticks em in a boot head first, laces it up, whips out a pocket knife, and gives them the snip in about 30 seconds. Untie the boot, and off they run like a bullet.
I think he said cast. Like in fishing.
@@cecilyhill6438 No, it took me a bit, but Jim "fixed" his cat.
@@Vinjoxx You mean Bill... Bill has strange hobbies.
@@Vinjoxx These days for sure, but that was just how life was out in the country. Farmers "fixed" their own livestock, and farm cats/dogs were no different.
“If I can laugh and pray in 90 minutes that is money we’ll spent” GOLD😂😂😂
Like joe bidens speeches!!!! Absolute joke of a president. Worst in history. Forces everyone to pray that we survive it!!!!! Arrest Joe biden already!!!!!!
this gets me everytime xDDD
The Kenan "Yes!" connects it all.
"YES! YES!"
That’s easily my favorite part. It’s the best
Chris Coates Yes!!
Chris Coates the surprise and shock in his "YES " priceless
This sketch just does not get old. Keenan's face the first time "Doug" gets a right answer - priceless!
Thank you! Someone finally acknowledged we have more in common as American people than that that separates us
Shuzzlin' reader best sketch ever
We have more in common as American people then "they" try to tell us.
Exactly. You know this sketch didn't make anyone in the White House very happy. Division is what modern politics feeds on.
yeah, because it's people in the White House shooting and killing unarmed Black people.
Just stfu.
delphineblue
You just proved my point. "They" want you to think that they are systematically killing unarmed black people. When statistics prove something else.
You can see why Tom Hanks is a multiple Oscar winner in this clip
And he also said that we have a greater chance at being invaded by space aliens then that big bad orange 🍊 man ascending to the Presidency.
@@Franciscasieri well then we have just the best of luck, don't we 😂🤦♂️
@@Franciscasieri 😂🤣 probably bc trump knew what a pos he is or some folks say was .
Hanks is EVIL. IMO
@@Franciscasieri hey, just because he's a talented actor doesn't make him intelligent about politics
Tom Hanks can literally do ANYTHING!!!!
of course)
Adeel Intikhab yep he can do world war 2 soldier or a Harvard symbologist
The guys a genius!!
Tom Hanks is the male Meryl Streep. Doesn't matter what the part is, he nails it every time! He just needs to do a lip sync battle to cement his legacy now.
I'm sure he'll nail that too.He is a LEGEND.
The Way Keenan says YESSSSSSSS LMAO 😂😅
It kills me when Kenan goes to shake his hand and he backs away scared.
I cried laughing
That WAS the funniest moment lol , the skinny girl part was also pretty funny
Apparently this was a last-minute change that Tom Hanks added, and they loved it.
Nah, nah, you good you good, it’s ight
I hollered almost made me spit my pop out!!
Took a lot of guts to put this out. Took a lot of guts for both races to see the humor in what is normally perceived as racist. You see, it's not skin that pits unrest, it's actions. All races have both acceptable and unacceptable in us.
Human race. 1 race. There are different ethnic groups, yes, but truly there is only one race. People are just too close minded to understand that. Just because something is different does not automatically make it bad.
Anthropologists, biologists and geneticists have increasingly found that, biologically speaking; there is no such thing as "race." Modern science is decoding the genetic puzzle of DNA and human variation - and finding that skin color really is only skin deep.
dev Hi there, microbiologist here, let's see if I can clear up some of the confusion. While there are genetic markers that correlate with highly unique traits, they are found in isolated communities and have almost no correlation to skin color. "Race", genetically speaking, isn't really a phenomenon, it really only exists as skin color.
Can we please bump this shit to the top? SCIENCE, bITCH.
No, but really - if we just accepted science and admitted we're all humans born equal and making our own way then I think this world would be a better damn place. Who's With ME?!?
Exactly. What people think of as 'race' is actually phenotype.
Besides the fact that this is very intelligently written, Keenan finding the timing and tone to be both the straight guy *and* the ridiculous one is amazing. He makes it look effortless when he perhaps only had a rehearsal or two. The precise look on his face and the way he agrees in surprise absolutely sells it, and he performs it live. I'm actually one of the few that isn't big on Keenan but I'm starting to realize it's because when he does everything he makes it look absolutely natural.
Absolutely! I was just thinking I think of this as a Tom Hanks skit but his character, while a caricature, is almost a straight man. It’s Keenan that completely sells it with timing and reactions.
He's very underrated when it comes to SNL comedians
Kenan has very strong improv chops. He stays in the moment and keeps it real.
Shut up, penning some novel over an SNL skit, get the hell out of here.
Keenan's floor is higher than most the other cast members, which is how he's so consistent. But when he approaches his ceilin, it's memorable.
Wooooooo, You Alright Doug! lol
5:24 "What is, not a damn thing." Crying
italian724 best line lmao
italian724 Wow, people still use that?
😂😂😂
italian724 hahahaha
italian724 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
4:25 “Yeah but my Cecil’s name’s Jimmy and fixed my refrigerator, my air conditioner, And my cat.”
Amazingly clever line 😂
I'm just replying so you can see how much likes you got
My Cecil's name is Shawn. Does most of that, but hates cats and prefers pitbulls. Lol.
How does one fix a cat?
What's the meaning of that line?
I think he fixed his gas (heater).
Think we can safely declare this one of SNL's best sketches.
It really is lmao
This and the one where white people find out Beyonce is black. lol
This one and Betty White's Census Taker are probably my two favourite skits of this century on SNL
@@jbearclowater Blaaaaarfingar
Great sketch
Can we give Keenan Thompson his flowers? The man is comedic gold! 😂😂😂😂😂
Everybody gives Hanks the credit, but for me, Keenan just makes this work. He's a funny guy - I've been watching him since Nickelodeon with my kids.
I'm with you Tim, Kenan's the one and only
Keegan is ALWAYS killing it on black jeopardy. What makes this particular episode remarkable is Tom Hanks.
Keenan is a comedic genius. His reactions to Doug were amazing, and I was dying when he said that he's "transported" when Tyler Perry puts on a muumuu. He might be the single best current SNL cast member, though Cecily Strong is also great.
Yeah he's seriously underrated as a improv comic..
I think everyone did a great job
I love the astonishment in Darnell's face and voice when Doug gets his first couple of correct answers.
Yes, Yes, Yes😂😂
What is a UNCLETOM
Tom Hanks is great in this, but Kenan is what really makes it.
Yup. The government is out to track us.
That skinny girls joke had me rolling
+Young Savage You weird asl
+Young Savage Man, get out of here with that racist garbage.
They can fart out of their pussy.
shut the fuck up you racist idiot
don't mind the troll. he just wants the attention
Moral of the story: Black folks and middle America conservatives have more in common than people think. Thank you, SNL and Tom Hanks. 😅
“If I can laugh and pray in 90 minutes, that’s money well spent.” 😂😂😂

The hands up killed me lol I was supprised SNL did this skit.
@@thepeople5589 unoriginal

This may well be SNL's best sketch ever.

Imma pray on this
Although this skit is funny, it's nowhere near the best! #Chippendales
@@outlaw7305 Farley and Swayze together, not gonna find a better skit than that one!!!
must have not seen too many sketches
Doug: "skinny woman can do... not a damn thing"
Keeley, who's as thin as a stick: "go, Doug!"
That was the only issue I had with this skit lol.
I'm surprised you see that. It seems in the real world thinness is measured by runway models who are wraiths in many instances. Regular sized thin women are still big to people. And ppl want women to be absolutely flat. In front & in back.
She can say go Doug if she wants
Volition Spark Eh not sure anyone, even fashionistas, would say Keeley isn’t thin.
I thought he meant it as like “not a damn thing they can’t do”
Definitely one of the best skits from SNL!!
This is how you do racial humor without being racist.
Well the reason why its funny is that it focuses on class rather than race. Poor whites are the same as poor blacks.
Sentirion Beats well I’m white and black but haven’t experience any poor livelihood
@@ReedBoi-tv2se well in the south there are a ton of poor people, white and black (a few hispanics too)
Thank you, I guess the SNL's writer didn't know how to do this type of comedy without you layin'-out the whole skit, so happy you approve!? Not!!🙄
(Sarcasm) 🤨
Sentirion Beats whoosh
“I don’t think so that’s how they get ya.”
“YES!”
Keenan’s face! 🤣
"I heard that information goes straight to the gover'ment..."
ITS the actual truth, i dont even use it.
I say this a lot. Too much, really.
@@Canidon what you hidden in there .
YES! 2:05
This sketch earned SNL a bit of respect from me. Very insightful and uplifting.
What?!
Ya I love it!
they just ripped of dave chapelles sketch
Same. This sketch made me watch SNL again
@ You probably didn't understand the purpose of this sketch. It is supposed to portray the cultural similarities between black people and southern white people.
Host: "Skinny women can do this for you"
Doug: "What is not a damn thing?"
🤣 Pure perfection 🤣
