The costume and set designs in this one are crazy!! Shout out to the behind the scenes crew of SNL who work so hard to make the cast look good and the show run smoothly.
I don't know if it matters, but Willem Dafoe was originally going to be Frank Booth (Dennis Hopper's character) on "Blue Velvet". Wonder if it's a reference to that.

@@vicgodsucks1157 Twice now with dude with the long copy and paste bit and you with a reply that mirrors the EXACT attitude of the damned folks in the Bible. Y'all watching SNL or what?
There's also Aladdin: the Jason Sudeikis/Rosario Dawson one where they're unhappily married, the Adam Driver/Cecily Strong one where the magic carpet almost crashes, and the Pete Davidson/Kim Kardashian one that paralleled what it's like for a guy to date a Kardashian sister.
Oh, I'm so glad someone else noticed that. EDIT: The live-action remake of Pinocchio had Tom Hanks as Gepetto, who eerily looks like Willem Dafoe as Maurice here. What the hell, Disney?
In awe of the legend that is Willem DaFoe. The guy is so versatile, and just iconic. His movies are tremendous too, AntiChrist is one of the most disturbing films I've ever seen.
1. Yes, the SNL crew always kill it, with the Disney skits. The real Disney that does "live action reboots" should take notes. 2. I knew this is where the skit was gonna go: Belle seeing Maurice do something weird, through the mirror.
@@canaisyoung3601 Little mermaid they have done. And Snow White is put on pause I think. So maybe Snow White is the movie that will make them spend money on something else than remakes?
How fun to see Willem Dafoe letting loose in fun with a character. He once played the closest character to my dad in very fictional account of a very true story so there’s a special place in my heart for him.
I am in awe of actors. I would find it really hard to memorize lines, personally. I don't think one week for memorizing lines to all of the skits is an easy feat. @@Readysetgo2007
1:20 exactly how my Dad felt when he finally became an empty nester after I moved out of my Dad's house and into my first apartment. My Dad was probably singing in his head, "This is the best day of my life!"
And just like that, we have Romania, again, in an SNL sketch. The castle showed at the begenning is Peleș Castle from Sinaia, Romania. Also, great job by Willem and Pete on this one. This episode is, maybe, in top 3 of this season.👍
I was looking for this comment. Tbh, it's a beautiful castle up in the mountains, a little bit away from the town, so it'd make it perfect for that setting
Because SNL actually hires costume people who know how to do their job. Or at the very least are fans of the animated version since the animated version is more familiar to people.
He's just on a level that is scarcely ever seen by actors today. Also, Idk who wrote this but it is now one of my top 5 SNL skits. It felt like eating nothing but ramen noodles for 2 weeks, then having a steak dinner
Hey. Pete said he wanted to be in more sketches and not just be on Weekend Update doing commentary or play the brain-dead millennial slacker (which Andrew Dismukes is doing, since Pete's no longer the youngest male current cast member).
Seriously, Willem Dafoe commits to a role, no matter how ridiculous it is.
@@Stevie-J Hey, he’s a bit of an actor himself
he started out in the theatre, the most committed actors on the planet. not surprising
Do you know how much he sacrificed!
Pete the opposite
Came here to say this. Like, he is perfect for SNL. The fact they don't have him on every year is a crime.
It's fun to see Willem really get into these skits his dancing and movement are really fun and charming.
@@Stevie-J are we related? you look just like my cousin from your picture
@Emmett Battle I see the family resemblance!
Yeah, charming is the descriptor I would select.
That’s _Sir_ Willem, to you.
Yeah, with his Vampire head ass
The costume and set designs in this one are crazy!! Shout out to the behind the scenes crew of SNL who work so hard to make the cast look good and the show run smoothly.
I think they borrow the broadway costumes when they write a beauty and the beast sketch
@Salt Nobody cares about your believe in imaginary sky superheroes!!
@Salt Omg |=uc|< off!!
4 min of performance required 4 days of customer and set design.
I was just thinking of how they must have a killer budget to work with.
Crazy old Maurice.
He's always good for a laugh.
@Salt Ok I don't know if you're a bot or something but uhm... WHAT?!?
@@Harper_1984 Report for spam. Trolling religion is nothing new, but always ridiculous.
@Salt Religion is a mental illness, please seek help with meds and a mental hospital!!🙄🙄
@Salt That is a LOT of words
@Salt TLDR but even if we did, WHO DAFUQ CARES
Willem Dafoe is so insane that’s he so absolutely hilarious!!
What did you just say
0:59 crazy old Maurice
Lost it when Dafoe said "Look at me!" to the horse painting.
Harry: NOOOO!
🤣🤣🤣🤣
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Before he made it down the line, I was like, "Aw, a picture of Phillipe." Then it was, "Oh NOOOO!" 🤣🤣🤣🤣
sameee i’m dyingg
I don't know if it matters, but Willem Dafoe was originally going to be Frank Booth (Dennis Hopper's character) on "Blue Velvet". Wonder if it's a reference to that.
I see the theater side of Willem in this sketch. Just the way he entered into the scene and faced the audience.
Pete Davidson is literally just himself in a costume not even acting. Just straight up talking about rights to music for snl! LOL
@Salt see, that's why religion's dying, long, unnecessary, pointless shit like that
@Salt Nobody cares about BS written from the old book of Jewish fairytales!! You're on the wrong video, click on the video with the dancing preacher with the snakes!!
They use Pete as a character to present the audiences perspective.
@Salt -- Off your meds again Salt? Did you escape from the home again tonight? Don't worry, the guys in white jackets will be picking you up shortly. 😵👍
@Salt copy and paste half the Bible nice. How much did you drink tonight? Glad you’re not a persuasive person.
Willem Defoe gets lost in the role. No matter how absurd. LEGEND.
As hilarious as this is, the costumes are INCREDIBLE!!!
Ikr, people aren’t talking about this enough
@@IronElephantProductions , costume department pulls all of this off in a roughly a week. It’s amazing and they need more recognition, as does the set department.
@@cmaaahh52 I think they reused the costumes from a previous sketch
only for most of the cast to wear them for 1 minute each with most of the screentime paid to the mirror. Commitment to making the scene believable
They borrow them from old movies and things in the city im pretty sure
Willem doing a French accent is surprisingly convincing
Not surprising at all lol.
Sounded a bit German to be honest, but I loved his performance
It's.... Willem Dafoe
Can we appreciate how Pete Davidson is doing a semi British accent at the start and then the minute things get weird he goes back to his regular voice such a good little detail 😂
Ty! Ty! Ty! Somebody else who notices that kind of detail.
🤘🏻 👀 🤘🏻
The dedication willem dafoe puts in for every single roll he is given is just pure dedication and talent!
Role
Chloe is magical. She is so talented! She really sounds like a Disney princess.
Looks like one too.
She was also really good as Cinderella.
She looks like one too, she’s stunningly pretty.
She's really coming into her own as a dependable utility player.
Agreed. Simply breathtaking.
Man they really love to put Pete in insanely intricate costumes
The Grinch was a good one
Idc what the opinion on Dave Chapelle is, “Look at Pete’s lips!” While dressed as Count Chocula was amazing
I wish they would just get rid of him already. He grosses me out.
@@aiai-j7i It feels like his main joke now is "The costumer is putting in way more effort than I am ¯\_(ツ)_/¯"
"A tale as old as time...which is a song I would sing if we had the rights." 😅😂😂😄😄😄😄😄
That line KILLED ME
The dress she's wearing is, like, 10 times better than the one they went with in the live action remake
So was the one Kristen Wiig wore when thet had a similar sketch in the season 35 episode hosted by Gerald Butler. How does SNL do it?
@@canaisyoung3601 Maybe because they actually put passion in their skits?
@@Godzillakingofkaiju1 Kinsa knew that. I was just being rhetorical.
@@canaisyoung3601 SNL really has amazing production value what's more amaozmg is they only get half a week's time to put all this together
im looking at you emma watson..
Chloe is a wonderful performer, a brilliant impressionist, and absolutely gorgeous.
too bad she's a scientologist

@@Ginagm71 Best 👏 comment 👏 ever 👏👏👏
@@Ginagm71 "Now, I'm Interested!"
Great comment!!!
Yup he went "hard". Especially at that painting of a horse. 🐎👀❤🤪
Willem Dafoe's energy in the goofiest roles is incredible.
Willem Dafoe spanking himself is all i needed to see lol
Of all the sketch ideas, who would have thought Beauty and the Beast could generate so much hilarious content?
You should see the original from 8 years ago on SNL, 😂
There's also Aladdin: the Jason Sudeikis/Rosario Dawson one where they're unhappily married, the Adam Driver/Cecily Strong one where the magic carpet almost crashes, and the Pete Davidson/Kim Kardashian one that paralleled what it's like for a guy to date a Kardashian sister.
I never knew I needed Punkie Johnson as the Teapot until tonight.
@Salt If you're talking to an imaginary sky boyfriend and he talks back! Well my friend you're schizophrenic!! 🤪🤪😆😆
Always good to see more of Punkie.
I’m so happy Punkie’s been featured more this season.
Is that her name??? She is not funny at all. I haven't seen a character of hers that stood out maybe its just me
@@judgedredd7933 okay, that’s your opinion and that’s okay
Dafoe looks like the dad from Pinocchio 😂😂😂😂 “you know I’m something of a strange old man myself”
Oh, I'm so glad someone else noticed that.
EDIT: The live-action remake of Pinocchio had Tom Hanks as Gepetto, who eerily looks like Willem Dafoe as Maurice here. What the hell, Disney?
@@canaisyoung3601 yea I mean who wouldn’t 😂😂😂
Lllllllllllll
“LOOK AT MEEEEEEE!” 🤣🤣🤣
Willem Defoe dancing is worth rewatching over and over and over…
I love that Pete is just getting more and more roles and screentime
not because he's talented but because lorne knows he will get more viewers
Sadly, it's all for nothing, because he's one of the four cast members who left at the end of this season.
Dafoe needs to host more often
kyle mooney as chip is the cutest thing I’ve ever seen
The song Willem Dafoe is dancing to is Sweet Duck by AXS Music. 😁
Hard to tell the Beast was Pete Davidson until he said, “Oh, Oh!”
Should have ended with Mrs. Potts saying to Chip “I’ll tell you when you’re older.”
Nah, I like Pete's joke about not getting the music rights to sing the Beauty and the Beast song.
Pete Davidson using a beast voice until we dafoe starts to perform, then he’s like “well that’s enough if that no reason to compete”
Shame as he actually had a really good voice going on.
Can you blame him?
It crazy to think that we have done so many sketches with beauty and the beast
We?
It's a tale as old as time
Never realized how voyeuristic Beast and the gang are. Damn.
being locked in a castle for 100 years would break anyone
William Defoe saying "look at me" to the picture of a horse has my sides in orbit
Pete really is getting all the ladies.😉
Also, love that Pete immediately knew Belle’s father was up to something.😂
Yeah, I think your playing fast & loose with term "ladies" when referring to a Trashdashian.
@@robertcolontonio7775 Have you been living under a rock? Pete's large fan base consists of girls head over heels for him.
That would explain why he said he had thirty spare mirrors.
Chloe saying “Oops I broke the mirror! Total accident” needs to somehow become a TikTok sound
7 years of bad luck...
She finally gets it, looks the most freaked out and says "Oh my God what's he doing now" just as he starts to put on a record haha
In awe of the legend that is Willem DaFoe. The guy is so versatile, and just iconic. His movies are tremendous too, AntiChrist is one of the most disturbing films I've ever seen.
“A tale as old as time… which I would sing if we had the rights.” 🤣
William
Defoe embracing full Defoe is a sight worth seeing.
DEFOE KILLED IT!!!
DaFoe is Gooood at comedy...and he Loves it!
He was the green goblin so I'm not surprised he's this crazy.
Every other comment: "I just can't believe how much fun Willem Dafoe is having."
I was drinking a soda when he started that whole "don't look at me" routine and I almost died.
willem just has to be one of the best actors ever, it's so fun to watch him perform.
Willem Dafoe: (In a Norman Osborn/Green Goblin voice) "Don't tell Belle!"
I honestly thought Belles father was gonna start doing some Buffalo Bill type stuff.
Maybe if this was pretaped or on a cable channel, they could get away with it.
Costumes and set are bananas on this skit. You gotta love Willem Dafoe’s commitment to his role with each passing skit
I like how Pete doesn't even try to do a voice. But every one else does.
He started to and then dropped it after the voyeurism started lol
@@gamjc And that is what was so funny!!
He tried, but when everything started going crazy, he just gave up.
Dafoe is great for this role!!
1. Yes, the SNL crew always kill it, with the Disney skits. The real Disney that does "live action reboots" should take notes. 2. I knew this is where the skit was gonna go: Belle seeing Maurice do something weird, through the mirror.
I'm pretty sure the real Disney is done with live-action reboots after the disaster that was Mulan 2020. If not, then may God have mercy on us all.
@@canaisyoung3601 Little mermaid they have done. And Snow White is put on pause I think. So maybe Snow White is the movie that will make them spend money on something else than remakes?

How fun to see Willem Dafoe letting loose in fun with a character. He once played the closest character to my dad in very fictional account of a very true story so there’s a special place in my heart for him.
May I ask what movie/play that was? (If it's not too personal...)
That's awesome! Was it a play or a movie? Also, what was the title/name???😍
Mississippi Burning
So many stars that come on SNL have to read cue cards, but it seemed Dafoe didn't need any for this hilarious skit. What a pro.
I noticed that, too.. it's really distracting how tied to the cue cards the staff is... many hosts also.
It helps he used to do experimental theater.
@@snu3877 Don't they have one week to practise? They shouldn't need to stare at cue cards...

I've never heard him do this voice. It's outstanding.
Also 0:03 0:16 1:09
To be fair, the Beast talks normal when he isn't pissed off, like when he talks about his books.
This man's commitment. He's a national treasure.
Can't decide what's better, the costumes or Willem. They're all awesome.
Pete never disappoints. Great seeing him in more skits.
“look at me”😂😂😂😂

.
HES GREAT

make willem dafoe the permanent host
Cmon, not even one callback to Kristen Wig and Bill Hader? “But once in college I dated a menorahhhh”
Omg Pete as beast? PERFECT!
People say snl isn’t as funny as it used to be and I some what agree but it still has some hilarious skits
True
I never knew Willem Dafoe was this funny. He really let loose and had fun doing this
Love this prequel to The Lighthouse
“...and let’s never talk about this again.” 🎶
I watch this over and over just for Willem dancing
The castle represented in the opening scene is Peleș Castle in Romania, Europe.
3:23 - _"And let's never talk about this again..."_
And yet another week of “Write a sketch which justifies putting Pete in the most crazy makeup and costume”
Hey. Pete said he wanted to be in more sketches and not just be on Weekend Update doing commentary or play the brain-dead millennial slacker (which Andrew Dismukes is doing, since Pete's no longer the youngest male current cast member).
Chloe’s voice at the end was such good acting! Can’t wait to see her in movies!
The costumes in this sketch are amazing!!!
After Nugenix, Blowing Yourself and now this Willem Dafoe must be flattered they thought about him for all of them
And that's the thing about Chloe Fineman: she's goofy and hilarious, but she's also gorgeous.
and a Scientologist😬
