Androgyny is the easiest part to pull off - I'm more impressed about the fact that Pat could be anywhere between 14 and 40 and pass as anything from biracial Jewish/Slavic to Hispanic.
🤡
Absolutely 100% Jewish.
🤣🤣🤣
100% 😂 at times Pat looks like Hobbit fame Samwise or the actor that plays Samwise, at times looks like my cousin looked at 10 years old, my aunt put him in shirts like that, we are of the same age and we were 10 in the 86 and poor lol so we wore salvation army clothes from the 70s 😂 my cousin and I are Hispanic.
Pat's got the perfect ambivalent answer for every question!!!!
and the people's reactions are always "aw hell"
I wish I did
And it's usually some snarky vague responce. Pat is not a very refined person.
@@NoHomerS it's aged like milk.. into some sort of cheese. You have to give credit where it's due tho, we're all still referring to Pat as just Pat
It's like The Party today
the noise Pat makes after saying something 🤣
Funny, yet creepy
@@wgcds7jyg897 indeed :)
Truly inspires that part of your heart that wants to cull, doesnt it?
Eh-eh-eh-eh-eh…
Even the doctor that delivered Pat couldn't figure it out.
Nor could Pat's parents. They dressed Pat in purple, for the longest time. When it came time to change for gym class, Pat avoided the locker room. Pat instead changed into 'gym clothes' in the stairwell, due to body shame. When prom time came around, Pat went with 'A.J.' - "the total package", according to Pat. They were voted Prom King and Queen! It took them almost a whole hour to figure out who would get which crown. :-P
Actually, they released a movie in 1994 staring Pat, and the opening scene was in the delivery room. The doctor did know what the baby was, but got called to an emergency elsewhere in the hospital before he could say it out loud, and ran off saying "look for yourself."
Incidentally, that scene is also how I know exactly what Frances's gender is.
he wasnt a biologist
@@wylier Pat could’ve gone to the prom with Sam, Terry/Terri, Robin, Bobby/Bobbi, Jamie, Chris, Joe/Jo, Alexis, Alex, Danny/Dani, Tony/Toni, Georgie, Frankie, Francis/Frances, Jesse/Jessie, just to name a few.
@@robertgranros2098 yes, but pat chose A.J. Talk about raw animal magnetism! A real hottie! :-)
They try like hell to get any hints..pat is not giving it up
I saw a nurse who got fired for mistreating a patient on the news who looked just like PAT.Thats why I looked this up.
Chris
I remember when this was new, I was kinda wondering why SNL suddenly did this character (which you couldn't do now). My guess is they knew what the next big social push would be in about 15 years. Like "The Simpsons" SNL used to be very prescient. But they sure f*cked up when they threw President Trump under the bus in a very heavy-handed way. Idiots.
@@paulaharrisbaca4851 SNL has been awful for 15-20 years now. It needs to be put to rest.
yes... that is the joke. you have successfully explained the whole point of the bit. well done.
I made a costume and was Pat for Halloween back in the late 90s or early aughts. I went to a bar that had dancing. I swear, the bar tender gave me a free drink and a lady invited me to dance with her and her husband. Then I was literally running down the street because people were screaming “PAT!!!”
I stayed in character, and it was a compliment to my costume, but damn. 😂
You're a good performer, that's all
"Oh my god, that la- uh that g-... that person has to be the real life inspiration for It's Pat!"
to bad there's no video 👀
"...as usual CLOTHES from the GAP" it hits to this day like pure heat
It's interesting how half the comments under pat sketches are older people thinking that ppl nowadays would find pat too offensive and the other half is people being like "wow pat is a nonbinary icon"
If you pretend they’re not laughing *at* Pat, it’s amazing because as a trans person we are ALL Pat lol
This is like the world that left wingers want us to live in where you're not supposed to know what someone's gender is until they tell you.
@@robmccurdy2126 I mean I don’t know, sometimes you just don’t and I don’t see why that’s such a big deal? If you really need to know it’s okay to ask politely ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
@@markwhitney3746 Why can't you tell a man from a woman? I can.
If anyone assumes my gender based on my biological appearance, I won't get offended.
@@robmccurdy2126 haven’t you ever seen a man with a smooth face and long hair, or a woman with a flat chest and a buzz cut? Sometimes it happens.
I like the fact that Pat never demanded anything from co-workers and they never demanded anything from Pat.
Kirstie Alley does a nice job here as Pat's parent.
Kinda looks like Jonah Hill
Took me a while lol
The voice
😂🤣🤣🤣
Pat was ahead of 'their' time.
He/she would have a great chance of becoming the president of United States now
@Wary Trout Can't get worse than Trump
@@Defenseman61913 Too late, Biden takes the prize
@@Rob-zr3wb Qanon nuts like you would say that.
yeah ahead of his time for sure
Lol !!!!
Pat rocks!!! "I'm a perfect combination of both'
The way Chris Rock is in this sketch is how I walk through life, just clueless and trying to figure it out.
Lollll😂 relatable
🤣 LOL❣️
... and trying not to get slapped in the face haha.
@@Vegan4Everything not funny man
@@gaba-goo3733 yeah. It was funny. 😆 🤣 😂
For Pat's a jolly good person, which nobody can identify...

RIP Phil Hartman and Kirstie Alley.
I didn't know Kirstie had died. RIP.
Wow, I didnt know Kirstie died either RIP
I knew that Kirstie had passed away.........but I didn't realize she was in this sketch. Was she?
@@howardford6991 Yes, she played Pat's parent.
Even Pat's parents are androgynous XD
Pat is a hybrid. That's the correct term. Also Pat is a whining and freak. Pat's parents are the same. Kirstie Alley was pretty good.
@@festus569 Pat is a freak. THAT is the correct term.
@@Woozler554 I don’t like the portrayal of pat and pats parental units. They were made to seem weird
Thats the joke

Well.... This has aged like fine wine hasnt it
@Franco Cavalli yeah but itd piss way too many peopke off these days with cancel culture and all that shit
@@ianschwalberg428 no?
@@ianschwalberg428 why? It’s putting a character who is non-binary in the limelight and making all the people who deny/don’t understand non binary people look stupid
@@jakeduffles1598while thats one way to look at it I dont exactly think that was the intention...
@@jakeduffles1598 that was never the intention.
Pat: the original pronoun.
I do not think you know what a pronoun is

Andy Milonakis and Jonah Hill were so young here. They did great.
😂
When a comedian steals this joke, remember me folks. That random douche on youtube. 4-28-2021
LMAOOOO
Lol
You are so rigth!!! I noticed and commented on the Jonah Hill resemblens before reading yours. But the Andy likeness is spot on 😆👌
Pat is one of my favorite characters, Julia Sweeney was so perfect in this role...it took me a couple of minutes to realize it was Kirstie Allie as Francis/Frances she really did a great job. I know not many people like the Pat movie, but I watch it just because I love Pat.
That was Kirstie Alley? I spent so long trying to figure out who it was. That actually makes this a bit funnier.
Dang I really thought Frances was Jonah Hill lmao
I thought the movie was funny, just watched it.... Explains why this popped up in my feed🙄
I'll only watch it because Ween.
i lmao when they invited pat to play strip poker
SNL doesn't have the nerve to do Pat sketches now, but it's just as hilarious now as it was then.
it's actually ahead of its time.
I dont think its a case of 'lack of nerves', altho the 'gender identity' police might have issues with this whole concept. Julia Sweeney left SNL a long time ago, and seemed to have taken Pat with her.
Pat was non-binary before non-binary was even a thing.
I remember walking into the lunch room and having kids say "what's that?" And " it can't sit here". I remember the lady at Kmart telling my mom to take me to the boys changing rooms to try on jeans (I was assigned female at birth). So, non-binary was a thing, we just had no word like that. We had androgynous and Queer. This was during the 1980's at the hight of the AIDS epidemic. So, you can imagine the other names I got called.
@@jerrimenard3092 😭😭😭
Non-binary people predate SNL
did they forget words like "parent" and "child" lol
Phil Hartman expressions had me rolling 🤣 😂 💀
Wow, nobody under 35 would know that SNL used to be funny.
This is very ahead of its time.
I really miss these old Pat sketches.
jade s m o ping n m 😂
God me too!
Look outside.
It’s hilarious how real this is in today’s day and age 😂
Except today it's no longer funny, it's serious.
@@David_R922 Yeah the people who are like Pat are serious about it, but folks like me are still laughing at them like it’s a joke.
@@mattnara4917 Yeah I know. Back in the 90s, there was Pat & the people on Jerry Springer's show and it was considered freakish. Now it's considered normal and not politically correct to make fun of.
@@David_R922 yeah exactly and to be honest I feel like the moment something becomes to sacred to be joked about it makes it funnier to joke about. Don’t get me wrong I don’t have a problem with the Pats of the world, but I still wanna laugh if someone makes a joke about them and not be shamed for it.
@@mattnara4917 that’s mean. it’s a real thing. it’s not funny.
According to Chris Farley "Pat is a woman!"
I just saw that on a Conan bit. That's what brought me here.
@@TheBluemindedGod same!
Same
Julia Sweeney
Why? Did he stuff her pants too
I had to be both mother & father!!😀😁😂🤣
And the delivery room doctor said "Congratulations! It's a... baby!"
Who else is here in 2021 and just....absolutely fascinated?
Classic, super surprised it’s still on TH-cam.
I would’ve expected the TH-cam police to have hauled this down a long time ago.
@@jazzbo13 I think it's funny, but my voice doesn't count
not for long
same bro, with this society? yeah im surprised that its up and that the comments are fairly sane
What do you mean? Pat is a non-binary icon
They were trying to tell us something for the future😂
They used to crack me up then as a kid and now they're funnier lol.
Pat is terrific. I call on my inner Pat in awkward social situations.
so you go from being socially awkward to being socially retarded
Pat was always one of those hilarious SNL characters who really tickled our brains a lot to find out what gender it was.
thanks Captain Obvious
Ah, a Chris. The type of person who would prefer to call someone an “it” instead of “they” when unsure of their gender.
@@Tosfan_73 that offensive.. my friends name is Chris. He is a great man. Yet you go around using another humans label as an insult….
@@Tosfan_73 to be fair "they/them is just as bad. It's frankly just as insulting and confusing. It's almost a mocking term. Unbelievable that liberals have taken to it and think it's some great and comforting non binary pronoun. It'd idiotic and makes no sense.
@@Tosfan_73 "They" will always mean plural no matter how hard you and the other highly susceptible minds regurgitate your indoctrination.
Anyone else notice these cast members seldom utilized the cue-cards?
damn for real
they were great actors
they over do the cue cards for fake effect now
The goats
Yeah well Chris Rock couldn't improvise his way out of a wet paper bag so he's not using cue-cards either probably.
this way Pat says 'madness' is so silly lolol
Boy, I bet they’re trying hard to sweep this under the rug. They just announced their first non-binary character
Why is Pat talking just like Steve Urkel?
Urkel talked like pat. Pat skit was out before family matters.
To make it harder to guess their gender.
@@jennilee5514 Pat's not a "they/them". Pat's a Pat. I'm not kidding. Pat's only pronoun--if at all--is Pat.
RIP, Kirstie Alley. 😥
Hey that's Kirstie Alley playing Pat's errrrrrrrr........ Parental unit. 😂
I miss Phil Hartman!
He was terrific. May he RIP
In the 90's this was an SNL sketch, now it's a day at the Huffpost office
Or on Twitter. You wouldn’t have to guess Pat’s sex because everyone has gender pronouns in their bio.
Well, the crazy leftist idiots do, anyway.
@@richardpowell1772 POS 👆
@@fineneighborhood spotted the crazy leftist idiot.
This aged both well and terribly.
So perfectly put.
Hopefully Pat is still alive and well in the 21st century. Pat will blend in just fine in a today society.
Pat is great now, after getting some surgeries done
Take your judgment elsewhere.
@@Lily_of_the_Forest quit crying😢

@@Lily_of_the_ForestIt's a joke. Get over yourself.
Non binary before non binary was a thing

Special people you mean
Yes, THERE are.
More in all of human history, gender variant people have existed the entire time
Of course there's been gender variants; men & women.
@@am0911 - Yes, there have been defects of nature in every generation.
I remember watching SNL back in the day and cracked up over Pat. We never did find out what he/she was.
Julia Sweeney is going to her grave with the secret.
@@VicGChad07 No she's not. She already revealed it.
@@unrellated Pat's gender (and pronoun) is Pat.
Both and all but also non and nothing
@@unrellated nope. Pats gender was never revealed in script so whatever the actor said is not canon and only an opinion. Pats gender will forever remain a mystery. Ha ha
~ What's "Pat" short for? ~ It's short for "Paaaaaaat."
Remember back in the day when we can laugh at anything.. I still have a friend after thirty-plus years that I call Pat today because of this character
RIP Kirstie Alley
RIP Phil Hartman
🤣😅😂 Whoever thought way back then that PAT would become a trailblazer and a role-model 30 years later?
The good old days when society was sound... I thought YT would have censored this by now...!!!
Came here for the "they couldn't make something like this today!" comments. Not disappointed.
Probably because they COULDN’T make something like this today brainiac. Only obtuse idiots need comments to realize that🤣🖕🏽
I love how all the names are unisex too ROFL!!
Funny to see Kirsty Ally as Pat's ..ehhh.... Francis
Kirstie Alley*
Was wondering who that was......that’s the main reason I scrolled through the comments. Lmao!! 😆
Or “Frances” 🤣😂
What's funny about it? She's an actor playing a part, her political views has nothing to do with her profession, we are all employees after all.
Yeah, she's complete garbage
Every time I hear that freaking song i end up dying with laughter 😂 there was this one episode I can’t find where a co worker was so confused by Pat he jumped out of the window and my mother said now that was none of his business why did it drive him so crazy 😜
Everyone used to wanna be like Mike. Now they want to be like Pat.
hey, pat, you would fit perfectly into 2024
Norm Macdonald got me here..........
Same here.
Norm Macdonald wasn't in the skit. LOL!
@@rjharris1960 i know. wtf?
PAT IS A WOMAN!!
@@theedrstrangelove norm tells a story of when he met Farley. Chris took him aside into another room and whispered “Pat’s a giiiiiiirl” but how norm said it, you can just picture farley’s over the top demeanour (like when he says “that is correct” in billy Madison)
Fast forward to 2023, It's almost like they knew this crazy was gonna happen 😮
esp with people being afraid of mis gendering/using the wrong pronouns.
This time period is nuts.
It's almost like trans and nonbinary people have always been around and always will be
Man I use to crack up to Pat when I was a kid, miss this so much.
Welcome to reality….2022😅😢😢
What was a joke 20 years ago is now a highly politicized identity issue.
Agreed.
Yeah, isn't it funny how liberals are always trying to politicize every trivial issue so they could turn it into their personal crusade for social justice. Oh, and by funny I mean despicable.
Johnny Fishfingers
I feel like I just read a novel ;)
To be honest, I think you make too many assumptions about Conservatives.
You will find they are a much more diverse group than you have stated - they're not all racist, homophobic bigots who cling to their Bibles and never saw a war they didn't love.
In fact, they are more likely to place greater value on the freedom of an individual to express their individualism than most (collectivist minded) Progressives actually do.
Johnny Fishfingers Right. So conservatives and conservatism are bad, liberals and liberalism are good. And social justice is an absolutely good thing. So... am I allowed to laugh at this SNL sketch or not? You guys keep moving the goalposts.
It's still funny
Remember a simpler time. When you are allowed to wonder if an ambiguous person was male or female.
I had that shirt my senior year in high school (1982), we wore it for our performing group "The Folk Singers" ....
For Pat's a jolly good person, haha
I literally lol'd 😂😂😂
No. It should be “For Pat’s a jolly good Pat!”
Julia Sweeney is one of the alltime absolute best cast members. Comedic genius.
@mrpoopoojohn it was down to Julia Sweeney and Lisa Kudrow for one of the spot on SNL season 16.
@@raheemhamilton8624 wow really? Sweeney still gets my vote by a landslide but it would have been interesting to see Lisa Kudro. Phoebe was always my least favorite character on Friends but just the character choice, not the actor herself. Kudro played it well but it would have been cool to see what kind of comedic depth she had on SNL.
Genius? You're out of your fucking mind.
Julia Sweeney? I coulda sworn that was Jonah Hill.
If you haven't already, you should try and see her one-woman stage shows (i think they've all been filmed for television.). "Letting Go Of God" and "God Said Ha!" are two of them. I just saw on her website she just filmed her last one and, according to her, she has retired from stage performing.
Someone worked at our local library that looked just like Pat. I even think their name was Pat. By the voice and how they looked you really couldn't tell.
My favorite Pat Skit is when Pat.goes to the Gym to see if Pat would be interested in a membership. Pat has the Gym Manager so frustrated when it's over. I laugh so hard every time I see it
Al Franken's best role.
This has aged so well.
The world has aged not so well around this!
Now would be the perfect time to put this character back on the air. Ahahaha
This phenomenon has become so much more common now.
Pat never explicitly states that Pat's non-binary (nor cisgender nor transgender for that matter), but the true humor comes from the fear from others that don't know how to interact with someone without first knowing their gender. It's a cool philosophical and sociological examination of just how obsessed our society is with knowing what gender category to place people, even in a situation where it doesn't actually matter, like a co-worker's birthday party during office hours.
100%
@@jupitercrash777if that was true then the other people would be making fun of Pat.
Huh, I wonder if there's some kind of biological basis that might explain why these categories are seen to be so important.
Pat knows exactly who he/she is. It’s everyone else who’s confused. And Pat always answers the questions people ask.
It's not sociology, it's biology, and it always matters, even at a birthday party.
It's 2 million years of evolution that has hard wired us to judge each other and treat each other based on knowing each others sex. That is why our sex is usually so easy to discern, because it gives us an evolutionary advantage.
You just gotta love that intro 😂
i imagined pat reading the comments outloud,
basically used pats voice for all the comments
😭😭🤣🤣🤣🤣
That describes today's ideology. This was back I the day when SNL was actually funny
I came here specifically to see if YT had cancelled this skit. Surprisingly not.
It's Pat was funny because everyone has encountered a Pat. Even more today
We even had one at work with the same clothes . Not kidding she/he....it had the same shirt on alot
Satire predicts the future far too often.
GypsyCrusader was right
How prescient this skit was.

Only time they're funny. Unintentionally.
And the real ones are just as gross if not worse.

Predictive programming.
This was part of the early psy-ops. Predictive programming. It shows that this agenda was given a go long ago. The joke is on the American people.
Took me a while to figure out thats Kirstie Alley.
Phill Heartman : "I gotta go back to work."😅
The sad & cruel thing here is Pat didn't really choose one day to be that way.
I've always loved these "Pat" skits - so funny! I have a "Pat" book with photos of "Chris" too, played by Dana Carvey.
Dave foley played Chris

God that's some good comedy km watching after a long time.
This is more relevant today than ever...
enjoy it before youtube takes it down!
It's been up for 9 years, if TH-cam were to take it down, they would've done it by now.
RIP Phil Hartman
The last consistently great and funny era of SNL.
Agreed
All of their questions would be considered microaggressions in today's woke work environment.
SNL definitely wouldn’t do this skit now.

Awesome
Tell me we're programmed for this 2023 moment without telling me we we're programmed for this 2023 moment.
Exactly. In the 90’s there was such a big shift in shoving promiscuity and homosexuality into prime time television (think, Friends, Seinfeld…) Most people in real life didn’t live that way, but it was modeled on T.V. as normal, and we were literally programmed to become desensitized to the rancid stench of it through laughter.
