I actually saw this when it aired live. This was the first Pat sketch. One of the things that made it so funny was that Julia Sweeney was new to the cast, and was an unknown, so we couldn't recognize who it was under the makeup. So we did not know if the actor was a man or a woman! Very meta. It's obvious now, but at the time it was a riot!
ME TOO!!!!
still an unknown
wait you can't fucking tell the difference between a man and a woman? it's obvious.
Yes! Same! Loved SNL early to mid 90's 😎 my fave era
@PatentlyAwesome - That's a great story, thanks! I have a vague memory of watching a skit when SNL was going to do a big "reveal" of Pat. And Adam Sandler (who was a cast member then, I think) jumped up from the audience screaming. He begged Pat not to reveal anything because nobody really wanted to know! Good times!
This must be the first time we saw Pat, because the character wasn't fully developed yet. The actress spoke with a deeper voice for Pat at this stage and some of the other mannerisms and voices she made were different. We also didn't get the introduction of "It's Pat".
This had to been it cause this is the only time the character uses gender pronouns of any kind, I never heard Pat refer to anything as male or female or find attraction to anyone, Pat just says partner, pauses until Pat is comfortable or changes the subject. It blew my mind Pat said is that you girlfriend, she's very attractive and then double down by saying I have a male and female cats
Yes, according to wikipedia, this is the first segment. Julia Sweeney also performed it with the groundlings before making it onto SNL.
Good observation!
@@jblue705 Wow, I didn't know this!
Listen well all of you! The princess shall grow up in grandeur and in Grace but... On her 16th birthday she will prick her finger on the needle of a spinning wheel and die the sleeping death!
"Ever since my spouse ran off with that... thing, I've had to be both mother and father to you!"
Really interesting character and well written dialogue. I love this
Omg Pat had a hunchback in this sketch - definitely a first Pat sketch as the voice was different
Missing the Fanny pack though, I definitely like the Fanny pack.
I so miss the 90's SNL "Pat" was a great creation, and the rest of the cast was great. :)
yeah but the angry alphabet people are like "Pat" everyday.
70s SNL cast the best
You heard it here first: @@dustinherk8124 agrees we're a great creation!
Yes Snl even found this funny and creepy.
It’s frustrating that no one has thought to ask for pat’s full first name! 😂
Middles names definitely Jesse or Leslie or something 😂
Excellent point! Or Chris's either....
I noticed your name is Chris. Or Kris. Or is it ....
@@king77solomon30 My full name is Kristian but I also go by Krissi; I have a gender neutral name too but luckily my gender is easy to guess by looking at me! :D
Patrickia
When Pat mentioned Chris, I would have asked “oh I’m just curious, what Chris’s full name is”….. “I might know Chris”….so funny Pat expresses his/her cats gender straight up but never anything about himself lol
I dont see how knowing Chris' last name would 'give away' Pat's gender - or even Chris', for that matter.
@@wylier I meant what “Chris” stands for. It’s generally short for Christopher or Christina.
@@toniroberts8117 I remember one skit where somebody asks Pat, "What is Pat short for?" Pat's reply was, "It's short for Pa-a-a-a-t! That's my little joke!"
Julia Sweeney is hilarious, how she humanizes this character.
Pat, Chris, Terry....🤣🤣🤣
I love cringe comedy! Julia Sweeney was a O.G ..she nailed it! I always got a kick out of her wheezy breath at end of every sentence. Little nuances make characters even funnier & memorable...
It's' not cringey. It's brilliant writing!
@@lisardo it makes me cringe. But that doesn’t mean it bad, I laugh and get this second hand embarrassment feeling 😂
Wth is an O.G.
Yes, Julia Sweeney did this so well. All the little inflections and noises. So funny.
its not cringe comedy its our current cringe reality.
Must’ve been one of the first Pat sketches.
It was the first. The character was definitely in development stages here. We didn't even get the "It's Pat" intro.
This one the original!
@@joylindadichamounix it definitely seems that way as Pat is just very much less defined compared to the way we know them.
Memberberry: "Member when Saturday Night Live was Funny!"
Me: "Yeah, I 'member!"
Get a clue. It's always been funny - to people with a sense of humor.
@@arhatyellow yeah. Always been. NOT present tense :-(
Unfunny for 3 decades
Memba Jurassic Park? Oh yeah Jeff Goldblume was fantastic! LOLLOL
I LOVE PAT!!! It’s hilarious!!! Hahaha ❤️❤️❤️🤟🏾😄😄😍
Kevin Nealon's forehead Botox is awesome.
These are hilarious..I miss the old SNL's
Norm Macdonald: "Pat is a WOMAN"
He dropped us that nugget of insider info before evaporating
I remember watching this and just dying. Classic!!! :)
in today's America Pat would fit right in very well 😀
There's a picture of his girlfriend on his desk but he's wearing a wedding ring. 😂
This repeating sketch was always hilarious. It still is.
Julia Sweeney is underrated. Her one woman show, "And God Said Ha!" is amazing.
Their are two kinds of people. People who laugh about situations and people who laugh at people.
Exactly
There
Is that the Secret Service agent who couldn't holster her sidearm?
😂
Yes. There's a comedy short on TH-cam even Pat becomes a USSS agent. It's called Unexpected Hero: Lunch Lady Pat...
Too bad they never did a sketch where Pat met the Richmeister.
PAT! The Patmeis…misstre…Pat! Patrick…tricia…Pat! Pat Boon.. Nixon… Pat! … making copies…
PATTY PAT PAT, PATTY CAKES, THE PATMEISTUH....MAKIN COOOPIES.
He should’ve just waited and watched what restroom “Pat” would go into
I’m thinking they did watch to see which restroom Pat went into on one of those skits and Pat chose the unisex restroom. Lmao!! Perhaps I’m wrong on that but it seems like I seen a skit like that. 😄
@@yearling4 no you are right!! They did a sketch about it!!! If I recall correctly the only bathroom around was unisex lol
They also did one where Pat went to the gym and right before he/she went inside a locker room, they cut away for a news break and then when they cut back, the personal trainer (Linda Hamilton) was relieved to know the answer.
That would have worked back then… not now.
You can't ask that question today
There’s one of those things at my job unfortunately.
She looks like Roger Ebert in drag.
😆😅🤣
Roger Shebert?
Julia Sweeney said that she knew someone like Pat from work. She said this guy would were similar clothes and drool a lot with that type of laugh. So when she showed the character to SNL, they didn’t think she would be convincing enough to be a man. And then Julia said to herself “What if THAT is the joke?” She decided in that moment to leave Pat’s gender unknown.
Because of Julia saying she knew a man at work that inspired Pat, I thought that would mean Pat is really a man. But Chris Farley told someone once in a room (saying that this information must not get out) that Pat is really a woman. Either Chris was joking or that’s what he really thought.
lol pat is half the population now
Much smaller than that. It's just that they are motor mouths
What pronouns did Pat use.
Isn't this the premiere episode?
enjoy it before youtube takes it down!
Welcome to 2022
You didn't hear it from me, but Chris Farley told Norm McDonald Pat is a woman 🤫
Im trans and tbh this is hilarious, i love it
Sorry to hear about the disorder 😢
@@KamalaIsNotBlack you get a job and life goes on, tbh it's not the most important thing once you just understand it
@@Tachyon836 Wish most had your mindset. To a lot, it's all they ever talk about. It's their entire personality
@@KamalaIsNotBlack
Oh, you're one of THOSE people.
"You one of the good ones" type comment.
But in all seriousness.
Being trans is a big part of people's identities, it changes the course of their lives, and of course, it's bound to come up.
Even when trans people themselves don't wanna talk about it.
I'm surprised the SNL writers never thought of this- there was one sure-fire way to determine Pat's identity: A SWIFT KICK IN THE BALLS!!!!
you are sort of missing the point of the sketch - that we never actually know Pat's gender. The ambiguity is kept up through every sketch, so that the comedy can be continued.
1) I'm pretty sure kicking your boss in the genitals would get you fired regardless of what genitals they had. And probably charged with assault.
2) You think getting kicked in the puss doesn't also hurt? A reaction of "ow ow ow ow" isn't as illustrative as you might think.
OMG SO HILARIOUS 😂
Hysterical !
HYSTERICAL!!!
original SNL cast the greatest!
I seriously am talking to a Pat(rick) Riley (I don’t think that’s how you spell it though) and I’m seriously never calling him Pat again 😂
1:31 - 1:34 Call them Mx Pat, Sir!
This was back when you could tell someone's gender by their hobbies or what gender their fiancé was. How times have changed.
Dear Patiently,
I certainly cannot tell whether Pat is female or male....It's not obvious to me
I'm surprised this is still up on youtube, lol.
nah the skits never crossed line of being cruel.
I thought the same thing
@@1talldaddy well lots of things have been canceled that were never cruel. Glad Pat made the cut!
Really? There's far more offensive things on TH-cam.
I'm glad you're innocent.
And all these years later, Pat has become Agent FUPA of the Secret Service.
Man or Woman I don't want a boss that acts like Pat.
We’re Fanny packs called sports packs?
Never heard a fanny pack referred to a sports sack but I'm sure it's the same thing
Were
December 1990
Pat could be both .
Ah yes the three genders Pat, Chris, and Terry
Who knew that this whole idea was a way of introducing the trans thing the Left was going to start to push. But nowadays you couldn't POSSIBLY make a joke of it. You'd get murdered and kanceled on social media.
@@paulaharrisbaca4851 Excellent observation. That is the way they act, progressively opening the overton window. Took them 30 years and now family is destroyed and society dying, full opression and tirany from the corporation/gob.
Pat’s parents names are Gene and Francis, or Frances.
Don't forget Ronnie
or Tony, Toni
So, Pat, is your name short for something?
This skit was a window to the future....sadly.
Luv Pat's man...womanorisms.😂
They wouldn't allow this stuff on SNL these days. Too bad!!
YA SOO BAD they don't attack people. U serious?
@@gggggggggggggggggg161 Oh man up you crybaby
@@gggggggggggggggggg161 I bet you're still in your safe space 😵
@@gggggggggggggggggg161 Awwwwwww, are your widdle feelings hurt??
YEP 👍
This sketch would be considered hate speech today, it would not air!
Nice to see something the outrage mob hasn’t cancelled yet.
Well it's because this is more than 2 decades old...
It seems Pat is something of an icon. I think it's because Pat seems to get along just fine being oblivious to people's uncertainty with what Pat is. They also try to be nice about trying to figure it out.
It was the predictive programming of its time.
Nice to see that you are complaining about something that didn't even happen
@@malkmusfan oh really, when was the last time it was broadcast?
no yt disclaimer? surprising.
man SHE is creeepy
What is Pat short for? THAT’S THE FUCKING QUESTION!
just Pat, I'm sure 😆
Patrick or Patricia?
There was a great sketch with Christopher Walken on Oct 24, 1992 where he's so confused by Pat he jumps out the window. One of his best sketches - impossible to find through regular avenues. It seems NBC went back and restricted anything that could be found remotely offensive to be viewed from USA IP addresses. Terrible practice that will come back to bite them when this PC mania settles down again.
I’m shocked woke TH-cam hasn’t removed it yet
Seriously I thought the same thing!
They’d better never remove these classic skits. SNL sucks now.
Is this making fun of the Pats of the world or making fun of the people who don't know how to deal with them?
Anyone who messes with this clip shall be penalized by the highest standards of the motion picture academy of modern Media sciences
This was so far ahead of its time that came around behind us now
0:35 the face
Nowadays we need to pin Pat to the wall and demand his/her/its pronouns 😈
"Its" pronouns? Pretty sure that Pat's human---not so sure about you, though.
Yep~ Not even sure if sketches like these could be done anymore...
Not 'woke' enough.
@@Daberney Some people insist on being called "they", despite the fact that word is meant to be used as a plural.
@@mrchopsticks3 If someone prefers to be referred to as "they" rather than "he" or "she", so what? It's simply a wish, and since it involves how that individual is to be addressed in the third person, it means they would not be present to call you out if you didn't comply. If this is something that actually worries you, I suggest you stop watching Fox News for a while.
PS: What's with the "Mr. Chopsticks" shit? Are you Asian, or do you just enjoy sharing racist caricatures online?
@@mrchopsticks3 some people spend too much time getting upset about how people wish to be identified
I felt awkward like pat for a few months in seventh grade.
does pat work out? big shoulders
What the hell is even that!
Although Pat was a popular recurring character on the show. "Pat The Movie", continued with the same theme of mystery and confusion.
Lorne Michaels, the producer, and Julia Sweeney both regretted doing the movie?!?
I would always think, "ok, pat is a man. No, a woman. No, a man "
Omg, so true. Nowadays you don’t know if it’s a he or a she. 🤷♀️
Or one of the 73 other genders. "You will address me as XbKR. Jones."
Its a THEY these days lol
Is this the first Pat?
same one as always
The first time she play Pat.
Heaven’s Gate cult
Toootsie
Tootsie
Bet the woke crowd love this
Back in the good ole days when SNL was funny.
A him or a her, a Zim or a Zir here comes Pat! I hope you're happy people
I prefer a Zim and a Gir.
Not only is their gender confusion Pat is extremely annoying 😂 Nealon was best at being confused by Pat's confusion😂
irony is that julia sweeney is a cutie and really feminine.
Why don't they just ask? Man or woman?
Rude lol
The funny part is watching others struggle to figure out. It puts the whole idea of many folks needing to squeeze everyone into one of 2 boxes, when it really does not matter if any of us fit into any box at all.
oh geez
Because you can identify as anything now a days even a teapot
At the time you wrote this comment, you could be fired for asking that question, lol.
Pat is one creepy character
Now days people think this is normal shit .
Well its not even about trasgender its about how ita hard to work with people when you dont know there pronoun
@@shadowhunter5911 People today want you to call them pronouns they aren't or ones they made up .
@@shaneshrimp6519 ya I know I Stick with the two basic genders male and female
😅😂💀
I am surprised this did not offend any snowflake nowadays and that it's still posted
this is proof
This person is the most gender neutral person in history.
To me the person looks and sounds like a masculine female.
So glad I'm a normal person. Thank you, God.
🤣😂🤣😂
You know, there is something that I don't see come up often. What if Pat is Non-binary?
they probably are, they just didn't have that term back then
How did Sweeney come up with that fucking weird sound she makes after every other sentence.
Just strikes me as a nervous laugh, although a funny and peculiar one.
I am willing to give a whole new shiny quarter to anyone who can tell me what Pat is for sure! It drives me insane not to know!!!
I'm pretty sure Pat is a Caucasian! Give quarter, please.
What sex, not race!@@KomoliRihyoh
@@PUMPADOUR What sex? Sex good. Pat should know, they're a self-claimed "Very Sexual Being!" ;)
The actor who played Pat is a woman
It's satire.
Right Dave ?!!?!? . . .
Biden plans on appointing Pat as his next press secretary.
This would be awesome.
When snl was funny
So far out ahead of this lunacy
I used to love this skit. It was so funny. lol. OMG now they would burn down cities and have massive protests. SNL lost their edge now., so PC now. I knew a woman WHO LOOKED EXACTLY like this character. Her name is Pat too. lol too funny.
agree, this is when you were allowed to be a comedian. people too sensitive today, this was hilarious!
Kevin nealon’s acting was almost too natural for snl….
I used to work with someone that would lean in like that and had breath that could attract seagulls. 🤮
it was a joke then but its a sad a reality these days kids end up looking like pat with blue or green hair
Man or woman??
