I was born in Czechoslovakia, I used to live in Bratislava for some time and it still blows my mind how they got hold of the portable floor vacuum
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
That's portable? Lol
@@denisehaddix6646 In the 70's? Yeah. It had wheels yo. lol
@@wisdomprepper what is lol is the fact I don't even know what I commented about. Just know I liked Saturday night live back in the '70s when I was a kid.
So that was the real vacuum from Bratislava?
KIDS IN THIS GENERATION HAVE NO IDEA HOW HILARIOUS THIS WAS BACK IN THE DAY WHEN SATURDAY NIGHT WAS THE TOP SHOW ON TV,FULL OF COMEDY STARS,IM GLAD I WAS LUCKY TO LIVE IT THANKS SNL STARS
Sure was!
I’m 15 my mom watched SNL in the 70s and 80s growing up, she’s showed me sketches like these, I find them pretty funny !!👍
Why are you yelling at us?
@@MoonMagicks YOU'LL UNDERSTAND WHEN YOU GET OLDER. NOW GET THE HELL OFF MY LAWN!
Today, ABSOLUTE SHAME. No sense of humor. No witty humor .
Nothing beats classic SNL! Steve Martin and Dan Aykroyd are legends!
As is Garrett Morris! The good old days!!
@JacobDeHaan Yes they sure are! But you know I think in 1982 Martin and Aykroyd should have written and starred in a movie of Festrunk Brothers, presented by Universal and directed by Ivan Reitman. And Aykroyd should have dedicated that movie in memory of John Belushi who died in the same year.
What do you think it would be like if that movie was made? Please tell me.
@@1997calvert I don't know. It would've been interesting and probably very funny
facts!
Wish they did this skit in the 40th anniversary of snl
The sad walk to answer the door kills me.
It's the best...
We will never swing again.
My parents still do this when they're disappointed about something.
😂😂😂
I love that the "portable" floor vacuum is the size of a small car. 😆
The biggest LOL for me is when Garrett Morris slaps Steve Martin's hand and instead of returning the slap Martin just looks at his hand with his mouth agog LOLOL
This is the most 70s sketch! The outfits, the stereotypes, the slang, the bar right in the living room
It WAS the 70's...
@@indiareynolds2158 I was about to say that, lol.
Samurai!
This was a parody the day it aired.
Parody? More like pair-a-dees "Wild and crazy guys!"
We loved SNL, back in the 70s. It was the coolest thing on TV . After SNL, you could watch Midnight Special with Wolfman Jack and great music.
👍
And Monty Python!
Sha-Na-Na was on after SNL when I was in high school.
Days certainly gone bye bye forever. How sad is that. 😢
I remember watching this live at my house with a room full of friends. We watched it EVER Saturday Night....the 70's of SNL were untouchable. We had so much fun eating, drinking and laughing our butts off. Never will it be as great as it was back then!
And you'll never be as great as you were then either. But here's a thought for you: You'll never again be as great as you are right now. Enjoy today and make the most of it.
The Dana Carvey/Phil Hartman era was also full of great moments.
"Never will be as great as it was back then!"
Translation: "I was young then and life was simpler"
Sorry guys but the first NRFPTP were the absolute best. There were other years that were pretty good but nothing comes close to the first five years.
@@sigsin1 Eh, I was there. I remember first season with Chevy Chase, the Muppets, and the Albert Brooks video shorts. SNL has been a roller coaster in terms of quality for decades. Probably the best cast was the late 80s-early 90s era, with Mike Myers, Chris Rock, Adam Sandler, Phil Hartman, Dana Carvey, Chris Farley and others I'm forgetting. But the Bill Hader/Kristin Wiig era was great. Over the last 15 years, the women have been especially strong, including Kristin, Amy Poehler, Tina Fey, Kate McKinnon, Cecily Strong and now Heidi Gardner and Ego Nwodim. They've basically carried the show.
RIP Gilda Radner
the posters on the wall are a stroll down the Spencer's Gifts memory lane.
Also, Steve Martin plus SNL = comedy gold
JFK next to Wonder Woman
Along with Farrah Fawcett and Cheryl Tiegs.
The saddest part is I actually had those pants. The hat too.
Not sad at all, bro. Those slacks are absolute fire.
In Burberry patern.
I'd rock em now. You could go see a grunge band with those on.
@Buddy Austin Hey, wild and swinging bro in the know. I too have had a girl on tinder message me her secret snapchat. She is soooo American of a foxy babe. She tells me that if I can help her get her family out of Afghanistan, she will marry me! She so American and foxy, I may give up my swinging ways. It's only gonna cost me a couple dozen bit coin, what a deal! I love America!
Don't be sad you are a fashion trendsetter and nobody recognized it at the time.... now it's too late. That's the only sad thing 😆😆😆
This is classy! I´m Czech and I actually think that their accents are not far away from how some Czechs sound when speaking English :)
Haha, hilarious and yes, probably the first time and last time on TV when Czech accent does not sound like Russian:-) I can even overlook that Georg is not a Czech nor Slovak name:-D
Karolina Vanek You guys are good sports!!😉
But are you a wild and crazy guy?
This is kinda Borat before Borat.
when they were talking amongst themselves and talking in 'Czech' I recognized a few Czech words (I'm American but lived in Prague a couple years). Were they really saying something?
The SNL cast in the late 70's had an amazing amount talent. It was like an all-star virtuoso lineup. We'll never see the likes of them and their comedic creativity again. I say this with full confidence!!!
That’s just because you were probably in their target audience’s age range back then. Everyone gets imprinted by cultural memes when they’re young and more impressionable. Hey, get offa my lawn you dang kids!
Comedic creativity?
These guys are just too wild and crazy for me, they swing too much and it intimidates me. Makes me believe my chances are limited with the foxes.
+Danny Elfman Appreciation :D
FOXES!!!!
Danny Elfman Appreciation If you get that outfit and learn that walk you will get all the FOXES you can handle.
I know...forget about it :-P
Don’t worry. You appreciate Danny Elfman, as do the modern foxes. You already have a leg up in this swing competition.
The Festrunk Brothers were some of the best early skits on SNL. More than one I nearly fell off the couch laughing.
Can’t believe this is 40 years old.
SHUT UP SHUT UP SHUT UP * runs away sobbing *
"Hosed? Count me in!" "Let's get it out!" LMAO CLASSIC
Garrett was trying so hard not to lose it.
He did awesome though. Was able to maintain after a moment and keep it going. Legend.
I saw this sketch when it first aired. It seems a bit dated now, but the comedic talent still shines bright. These really were wild and crazy guys.
Well, it is about DATES!
Men with bulges and women with great American breasts.
I remember these old skits from first airing, too. My teenage years in the 70's.
ME TOO! I miss the 70s
I wasn't born until about 25 years after this aired so it just seems dated to me
Everything from the past is dated in some way. The thing is it's still funny in its own right. One of the best sketches ever.
Grew up in 70's. Adored SNL.
Had two guy friends, who did a spot-on perfect impersonation of the Wild & Crazy Guys . (sometimes in the middle of class!)
Even the teachers would crack up.
Good days. Thanks for posting
I’m Czech and I do not know what is so funny about. This is how we do all the time. Just a same day here swinging about and talking to hot foxes all the time
😂
Much of the humor in this skit is basically about the East European stereotype of American Swingers in the Seventies being sometimes seriously out of touch with reality as most generic stereotypes used by people largely unfamiliar with the subtle nuances of language and common cultural norms of any particular group stereotyped tend to be.
These two have brought me so much laughter. I love the wild and crazy guys! Sometimes if I need a good laugh I just think of them. Imitating them is so much fun. Wild and crazy guys.
I'm from Czech Republic and this is one of the funniest things on SNL ........ my grandma had similar a vacuum cleaner at home (POZOR!) :DD
Why so big?
Moje babička ho má doteď :D
good question
OH MY GOSH, HAHHAHAHA
sisojit moja starka ho tiez tusim mala 😂
"Lets Swing!" Gotta love these two! Classic!
I'm 51. when this came out when I was a kid, it was the biggest thing on TV at the time. Lol. It was like the Charlie Murphy Hollywood stories, but with no competition. Back then we had 3 Networks and two public access.
DarkNESS!
I'm 56 And I Can Remember Waiting All Week To See It On Saturday....Your Right It Was The Biggest Thing On TV
I'm going on 36 and I caught this on DVD.. this shit is absolutely hilarious to me. Nothing like older eps of SNL to make my night, the newer stuff has absolutely nothing on it. ..I LIVE IN A VAN DOWN BY THE RIVER.
I am the same age and would beg my babysitter to let me watch. I would have to run upstairs and pretend and I was asleep when my parents came home.
For years I used to say “I blame myself” in that silly accent, eventually I forgot where I got it from!
The way he looks at his hand in amazement is great remind me of The Jerk lmao
"I was born a poor black child"
Their Czech is actually somewhat intelligible if you listen to it carefully. Those sentences do likely have a meaning, only parts are gibberish.
My rough try at transcribing everything I am certain of hearing: Steve: The black man is right. It is.........like evening [it is like this every evening?]. Dan: American..............Bratislava went tanks. They liked this very much in Czechoslovakia. Steve: Yeah, I am so...... Please?
One of Dans sentences - "they liked this very much" part - is absolute 100 percent czech sounding. Intonation, stress on syllables and everything. Hard to say it right as czech is considered one of the hardest languages in the world for english native speakers. Crazy.
Those wecre the days when the characters actually looked at each other when they spoke and didn't use the cue cards at all. They actually studied and memorized/ learned their lines. Nowadays they look past each other and never make any eye contact because they're too focused on reading the cue cards. They did alot of drugs back then and the still managed to memorize their lines. They are classic and quality shows. The best ther ever was. Nothing will ever compare unless Lorne starts cracking the whip.
I read they improvised most of their work since they were already masters from Groundlings and Second City.
I am 67 and used to wear those golfing pants in SEVENTIES. I USED TO BUY THEM AT KMART OR GOLDBLATTES IN CHICAGO GREAT OLD SEVENTIES ERA MISS IT EVERYDAY !!!!
I had one of those apple caps! They were the thing at my high school in the mid-70's.
I'm a Millennial and my mom would have loved you, my dude.
Curious, are you bragging or complaining?
Those pants should stay in the 70s. I've seen them again yesh
I remember Goldblattes in Chicago - the one on Chicago Ave or on Ashland.
"we will never swing again" aww so sad 😭
i’m from Slovakia and this is hilarious🙌🏻😄😄
The sad, half-swinging shuffle to the door will never not make me laugh, lmao. I can't remember the first time I saw this sketch, but it's been well over 25 years ago; it's still great!
SNL was that it's BEST in the 70's.
I haven't been able to watch it since! 😆😂😂🤣
Know it! Jane C., Gilda R., Dan A. and all that bunch. Wild and Crazy Guys, Coneheads, and Roseanne Roseannadanna FOR THE WIN
Gilda R. is rocking that side ponytail.
@@ihrablewoo9662 snowflake
Yup
open shirt, plaid bell bottoms, and platform shoes? been there, done that.
Get down tomitsube! 💃🏼🕺🏿
Been there, done that too. I didn't have the hat though.
@@x00p3 lol, i may have had a red velvet beret at some point, memory is getting "fuzzy".
@@tomitstube LOL
... and made of polyester. I came of age in the 70s. That was the most uncomfortable clothing EVER ! Polyester was pure torture !
You Czech guys are exactly like this!! Every part. The movement, the speech, outfits, everything. It makes me wonder if Steve and Dan aren’t Czech themselves..
the guys are slovaks :D (from bratislava)
Slappa my hand black soul man!!🤣🤣🤣
That line at the time was pretty risque! But it was gut-busting hilarious! Garret Morris was great at whatever role he was given!
and then he doesn't realize he's supposed to return it!
it’s crazy to think that when this aired, the czech republic and slovakia were still united
Yeah, United in the USSR
They weren’t actually in the USSR
@@TheCalm25 Never in USSR...
And would be for another 15 years.
@@tomfu6210 They were within the Warsaw Pact as a satellite country and suffered an invasion in 1968.
This is when SNL was Saturday Night Live! 😂😂😂 Long live the Wild and Crazy Guys❣️
The 70's SNL says it all.
"Hosed? Count me in!" Ha! xD
Can't wait to visit New York City! I'm going to wear this outfit, so everyone will be clear that I'm from the Czech Republic. :D
+Tomas Vitek, Do that and ALL the big-breasted, American foxes will be all over you like white on rice! :D
Tomas Vitek have fun being a wild and crazy guy!
And you'll get your Assad kicked, lol jk
"ass"
Why not Tomas ?? There is nothing " PREVENTING " you !!
Peter Griffin walks in:
“You guys look stupid.”
Lol Love that episode.
Not ready for prime Time players the best Saturday night night live ever
I watched SNL all during my teens, I was 14 when the first episode premiered. I was in my last 2 years of high school when these two characters were often featured. Sure takes me back! This show was popular with all of us teens, in school, during the 1970s. I watched every SNL ep until 1991.
OMG I love this! Way back in 1976 or 77 my hubby & his brother could imitate them exactly. Miss you love. 💜
Who’s to know!! Out to lunch!! That’s YOUR funeral! Stay here and I’ll tell YOU! I love these wild and crazy guys!!
Those were the days!
Best cast ever, political satire was funny not cruel, and classic characters we’ll never forget. I’m glad I was there for this decade.
I LAUGHED so hard at them.Bought DVD 1st year of SNL.
I think you see it that way now because the politics expressed here have become irrelevant. Did you miss the part about waiting years for their "portable" communist vacuum cleaner?
@@icemachine79 they aren't talking about the political state of those times, they're talking about the way the media and pop culture groups like SNL parodied it.
@@dslkjvoxicuyhgl4554 Probably because they themselves have become a target of the satire. That's usually how it works.
And it was politically incorrect and racist but...
I adore Steve Martin and Dan Akroyd
Dan Akroyd is pure talent
The part of the scene at the 2:15 mark is hilarious, Steve Martin is looking hand, wondering why none of the cool American black man's black didn't rub off onto his hand.
so much humor there! not in the show now ... those were the days!!!
"Next time, try 5 of them."
I've been telling that joke for 43 years. I love that no one gets it while I'm cracking up.
"Get off my back you big sex machine."
Fun-ney👏🏿😂✊🏾
Knowing how crazy Dan Akyroyd is I’m pretty sure he learned some Czech for this skit and Steve Martin just babbled nothing lol.
They are both Talking absolute nonsense that sounds more like fake russian :D. Still love this skit from Czech Republic
Edit: Okay they both got a few Czech words out 😂
Dan has said he knew a guy like that who was the inspiration for the skit.
@@alzbetal1499 Yes heard ''evening, please, very'' and place names.

It bums me up you can't find comedy like this today.
I'm Czech and I almost dropped dead.
That's your funeral!
Now are the Foxes!!!
"Soon will be the foxes!" One of my fav lines
My mom told me to look this up, "because you walk like them" Uhh...thanks mom..?
Now you have to post a video of you walking!
LMAO
That's effing hilarious!
Brilliant.
High praise, my man.
"We cruise for them in our tight slacks which give us great bulges!" I think I died laughing.
One of the best SNL skits EVER!!!
So you see in America Foxes cannot be resisting so swinging guys as these!
It might be hard for younger viewers to understand how popular the two wild and crazy guys were for a brief time in the late 70s.
We stopped whatever we were doing Saturday night to watch SNL during these seasons. Especially when Steve Martin was on.
This is an early version of cringe comedy, I think. Part of the humor was that Aykroyd and Martin were willing to be so ridiculously, embarrassingly uncool. For self-conscious, teenage me, it was an absolute hoot. I don't remember how many wild and crazy guy sketches there were, but we all talked about our bulges with this accent off an on for the better part of a year.
I'm curious if younger people still find this as funny as I did and still do.
Thank you for that cause I really enjoy the perspective of the era these were made in. I'm not too young but I've only recently seen these and never even saw a skinny Akroyd! I love it.
I grew up with these guys happier times
They should have been in the movie "Night At The Roxbury."
Timeless.
This just brought back the memory that my friends & I used to throw our hands up & say “proseem?” for “get it?” after seeing this.
While Steve Martin and Dan Aykroyd are still alive and in good health they need to do a modern skit of these two guys, the Festrunk Brothers, as they would be in the 2010's. Next time Steve or Dan is on as the host, have the other come on secretly and bring them out in the scene. The audience will go BONKERS when they see who they are, especially if they are STILL dressed in that same seventies swingers garb, with the gold chains, etc.
Look up a sketch called It's a Date. They're on a dating show with the Dick in a Box guys.
They did in 2013
I'd love if SNL would try to get all the old dinosaurs from the first few yrs of SNL still living and just say hi man how you all been doing? Back in the day my mom had the rat pack on the telly to they all passed that being Johnny Carson & Ed McMahon as well leaving the show. Back then you saw all your celebrities because there was no dam reality shows and garbage talent shows . I am so glad I grew up in the 60s . Peace ✌
@@renroxhrd and Dan needed new clothes!
word!
These were some of the funniest skits from SNL's early days!
Is it bad that knowing that Steve Martin and Dan Aykroyd attempted to speak my language makes me prouder to be Czech?
It was terrible Czech though
Brings back lots of fantastic memories of my high school days!!
My first time ever seeing one of the skits with these two characters. This was awesome!now I understand where that cutaway came from with Quagmire and Cleveland acting that way on Family Guy
6:28 Lol at the sad, restrained version of their "happy dance."
Why is this clip called computer dates..there's no mention of computers in the clip..they met the girls at a bar
Also they didn't turn out to be Croatian.
Who knows, this clip is from 1978 and i don't think there were too many people using online dating back then.
In 1978, we were still typing our college thesis papers on manual typewriters. So, computers weren't even used that much for anything. I think that computer dating started in the 1990s.
www.history.com/news/who-invented-the-internet Pretty sure there was no online dating back in 78. I don't remember anyone having internet access until the 90's. The link I provided explains the start of the internet. I clicked on this video because of the title and wanted to know how computers were involved in dating back then. I don't see how this clip has anything to do with computers.
@@kimberlycooper4170 There is a Beverly Hillbillies episode from 1966 where they do computer dating
5:59 Garrett's totally laughing...
Steve Martin looks the same, Dan Aykroyd... is in the skit too.
Czechs have come a long way from clueless rubes from behind the Iron Curtain to the coolest people in Europe. :-) God Bless freedom!
Thank you a million times over for all the beads! =D
With many non American foxes too. 😄😅
Yes. I know. My rheumatologist is Czech.
The Czech 75 is still a fine handgun!
...and most horny people in Europe.. their porn videos are fkn EVERYWHERE
Man, I so miss old schooly SNL!!!
Dan Akroyd gave his all with every skit.
Oh. My. Gosh! That was HILARIOUS!! Great work guys, I was laughing the whole time!
god how i remember this from high school this was the best saturday night l live cast of all time the original not ready for prime time players.
Dan Aykroyd was so hot in the 70's
The sad thing is, I knew guys like these in the 70’s,
Sad thing is women don't cook,or clean anymore. And expect everything from a man with nothing in return. These guys are Having fun. Who gives a damn what women think,about it.
Me too. One guy's pick up line was, "ecology?" !!!!
I know guys like this in 2020.
@daniel sebold And yet they still expect women to strut around practically naked.
@@AlienationIsReal word. college feminism and toxic masculinity training fixed the American family model up reaalll good
Everybody is too afraid. No one can say anything. People need to lighten up.
This was Classic comedy
People can say anything they want.
@@DrSamba1 Nice bulge, Dr!
True talent and not just reading off of the prompter. This generation actually practiced their lines and it made it 100% more funny
Yeah, I can’t stand snl now. It’s a bunch of people standing in a line next to one another, eyes glued to cue cards, while breaking character.
You actually can't learn the lines on snl now, because they can change all the way up to an hour before the show. It would be a waste of time.
Bill Hader has said that sometimes the cue cards would change right before you walked on stage. Not sure how the writing originally worked, but it seems like they didn't do as many script changes back then.
@@OhHiNebulae that’s such a weird way to do things
@@OhHiNebulae most of the original cast created a wrote there own skits
Physical comedy at its best!
I remember watching this episode when it was brand new. Time has flown out the window.
Yeah, ain't THAT the f'ing truth!
Preach, brother! Lol
You're old then
@@renroxhrd I won't argue with you there.
"Hey foxes, clean up your act!"
Omg, this is still as funny as when I watched it in 1978, lol. Ok, you can assume how old I am, but I sure haven't lost my sense of humor!
This is a generation of SNL I was late for.
Poor foxes...
I remember wearing those pants
I love how Gerrick Morris is struggling not to laugh while Dan and Steve are speaking in fake-Czech.
Everyone in this skit is so amazing
I remember this when I was young this is absolutely out of the park
Garrett Morris can hardly keep from laughing. Loved all these guys.
And now the news for the hearing impaired.......!
Inorite? When they start in on their "language", he actually has to duck his head so no one will see him crack up!
"Base-a-ball be beddy beddy goood to me!"@michaelwertzy9808
Classic. Thank you. I forgot so much of this from my youth!
I really loved seeing this now.
I swear this is funnier than when I first seen it in the 1970s!! :))
Garrett Morris should also be in the credits.
The current snl could not handle such wild and crazy guys!
The Original Cast was Amazing! I was 16 when SNL started all those years ago!!
I still say "this bums me up."
