This has to be one of the my personal favorite SNL skits, theres almost no throwaway lines, they’re all funny, and all the acting was great.
Always will be the best to me!
always makes me crack up when i think about it had to give it a rewatch.
"lets all out blitz him, he cant shoot all of us".. god dayum.
the passion for the game was real back then
Wtf lmao 😂😂
A sad end to one of the best football careers in history
Very true they’d do anything for that trophy.
The league got soft smh. Players should be willing to leave their kids with a single mother for the love of the game!
ZEPP *hey a penis doesnt pay child support* 😂 Tim teebow
"What are you going to do about it!"
*"I'm going to get my gun"*
All the other kids...
How does this only have one comment
We know he said it its funny
I lost it
Damn that was hilarious
The photo of Steve Martin at the start throwing the football while pointing a revolver is absolute genius
His face is 😆
"of course we were upset...he had a great arm AND a gun."
Shoots the linebacker in the foot lol
blue lou boyle àx
@Nicholas King same here
...And that's why they call it the pistol formation.
Pistol Pete he dribbled with one hand and practiced his second amendment rights with the other
That's funny 🤣🤣🤣
Genius
Thank you. Pistol Pete is a Legend
Did he carry a gun too
That is amazing
This documentary is missing the part where they all complain about how tame football is these days. "Back in my day, you could bring a gun on the field, and people loved it!" XD
I can’t help but think of Grandpa Simpson...
Tarshish Jupiter Lol
Helmet to helmet? Who the fuck wheres a helmet. In my day we had caps, and the ball was made out of an old basdball mitt
Dana Carrey’s grumpy old man.
@@fostinator69 * Wears
There was (with good reason I should add) some uproar about a player brandishing a firearm, lol
@@farmer2791 Typical farmer
@Farmer27 the fact that Bill Hader said it
SOME UPROAR?!?!?! REALLLLLLLY?!?!?!
“There was (with good reason I should add) SOME uproar about a player brandishing a firearm.”
Hmmm I wonder why?😑😑😑😑
@@dannyh.s.1936 I don't know why they were so upset why the uproar
Everybody killed in this skit. Forte as the commissioner tho.
Will Forte nailed the oldest old guy in every documentary interviews
Old will forte 🤣
They killed, literally!
Gabe made two catches that day …
1:43 "That's not football"
I don't know, maybe it's his delivery that makes me laugh at that line
Will Forte’s old man character is so damn good, nails it
“ Here comes the defense….. Gunshots…… the defense is running away…. Touchdown!!!!!!!! Lmfao 🤣, i haven’t laughed this hard in a minute….
Bro when I first seen this I was crying 😂😂😂😂😂😂
"Daring us to rush him" 😂😂😂
“Which of you sons of bitches wants to eat a bullet”
11 years later and still a classic
....if you have porridge for brains. You are a low IQ dipshit!
Yeah but Joe biden's president. Worst In history!!!! Can't wait for his arrest may 9th!!!!
The rule was added because one player was carrying a gun....then the "Grandfather clause" allowed that one player to keep carrying his gun thus rendering the rule meaningless 😂😂😂
But it did make sure no one else would have one. So it eliminated potential copycats.
@@TheStapleGunKidwell that sounds perfectly fair
Jack Snad was a class act, he ushered the league into the switchblade era beautifully. Damn shame about those kids though. That could happen to anybody.
"Let's all out blitz him, he can't shoot us all"... Best sketch lines. So funny yet so true
This truly is a SNL Classic, Steve Martin, and done so well
SNFL
"Let's all out blitz. He can't shoot all out us." Did the Area 51 raid people get there idea from here?
**their**, and... maybe?
What is funny is that the forces at area 51 could in fact shoot them all. But yeah, how many bullets in that gun? Like 6 or 8? It is hard to aim when a ton of angry people are rushing you so unlikely to kill all 6 or 8 people.
1937: HE CAN'T SHOOT US ALL
2019: THEY CAN'T SHOOT US ALL
cheah lionel dont get it
We will take Area 51. I see you there Comrades
No one is going to Area 51
That’s just dumb
@@Mr.paint123 duh
Time to clap some alien cheeks
The kid made 2 catches that day; the touchdown and the bullet x.D...
Is death by gun funny to you!?
@@maximumoccupancy in some cases if portrayed in a deliberately comedic manner by comedians acting well in the right setting... YES OMG YES
Stop being triggered The Fidget Spinner Movie, it’s called COMEDY!
@@maximumoccupancy Yours would be
@@maximumoccupancy
Yes
Damn Jared Goff has some interesting family history in the league!
John Leahy you’re damn right
Wow you're right
I can’t stop laughing. Steve is so good. This humor is early 90’s Phil Hartman stuff.
Joe Buck: Van Goff, lines up in the shotgun.
Troy Aikman: That's a pistol, Joe.
Wow, it's so nice to get a real, authentic American story from SNL.
“Anyone that already used a gun in the game was allowed to keep her” 😭😭😭😭 his voice was on point
Fortes old man voice was gold
Anyone else notice that hes holding a deflated football? Lmao
Tom Brady, is that you!?
“Gabe made two catches that day: a touchdown … and a bullet.” 😭 🏈
That is one of the funniest things I have ever seen
I agree 💯
Billy "the gun" Van Goff is still a much safer player than Vontaze Burfict.
As a browns fan watching juju lay him out never gets old fuck burfict
@@ryvius1 As a Bengals fan, watch him throw away an elite career just infuriates me to no end. Who knows when the Bengals will ever get an LB that good again.
😂😂😂
Comment of the month! 🤣 laughed to tears
@@TheStapleGunKid was it him that knocked Antonio Brown into permanent insanity?
I LOSE it every time the gunshots go off during the radio broadcast. Omfg 🤣
Such a brilliantly written and produced sketch that showcases the amazing voice acting talents of the cast... Thank you for uploading! Please put up some ESPN Classic Pete Twinkle and Greg Stink!!
finally a skit with an ending that works.
It's weird to say this about an SNL sketch, but Will Forte's acting in this is incredible.
People have forgotten Van Goff's very successful coaching career though: he later coached Plaxico Burress.
He also played a crucial role in the development of Marvin Harrison.
Shoutout kyle from PKA for putting us onto this one
I come back every few years to watch this, still cracks me up 🤣
Same! I'm back now after my few years lol
I think this is actually my favorite SNL skit of all time. This is perfect, had me laughing the whole time from my gut! Hahahaha
That is one of the silliest sketch i have ever seen! Almost Monty Python silly AND I LOVE THIS!
I died at the radio broadcast part😂😂😂
"Gun drops back(gunshots)the defense is running away". Hysterical. Bro, if you ever seen Shawshank Redemption( won't appreciate as much if you haven't) google SNL parole board skit. By far the two funniest SNL sketches I have ever seen...
2:42 that face is so iconic
"Let's all out blitz. He can't shoot us all!"
Underappreciated jokes: the fictional names of these old-timey football teams.
That's SURELY one of SNL's better skits. I'm crying.lmfao
Whole new meaning to shotgun formation
Right, or the pistol formation lol
How about the Red Gun Offense?
I literally farted and laughed when he pulled out a gun
Im a huge football fan so this was funnier than it shouldve been to me. Havent laughed this hard in a minute
"which one you sonsofbithes wants to eat a bullet?!!!"...lol
This is my all-time favorite SNL skit. It is just so damn good.
One of the funniest performances I have ever seen. Started out I thought I was going to see some older NFL Films stuff and then it switches to brilliant Saturday Night Live routine with the ever fantastic Steve Martin WOW!
This one SNL skit that always make me laugh.
That is one of the funniest skits I've seen, capped by Martin's smarmy smile.
Why was bill Haders voice so satisfying?
“I’m gonna get my gun” 😭😭😭😭😭
As a reporter, I admired Van Goff. He was always willing to shoot the bull after the game. But I always had to write my stories from his perspective. ..Or else.
Van Goff at the press conference after the game: *"WHICH ONE OF YA WANTS TO EAT A BULLET?"*
Here from PKA..
"Let's all out blitz, he can't shoot all of us." Area 51 conspiracy goes back to 2009
This is most absurd premise for a sketch I've ever seen and I can't stop watching. This shit is great.
This STILL cracks me up. 😂😂
Ah yes. I remember those days. My dad would sit back in the recliner while we played on the floor watching "The Gun".
Good thing he wasn't known as, *"Bazooka Joe."*
Bazooka joe: “Football is so tame these days; back in my day a player was was dying either by tackle or bazooka or just plain good old inexplicable satellite laser. And it was glorious”
That was his brother, he played baseball. They were two wild and crazy guys.
Bazooka joe: These boys were so crazy they won the 1933 World Series by running over every opposing member with a monster truck
Idk if people have seen espn classic or old football documentaries, but this is spot on. So good. Will forte is hilarious
I love how the audience is genuinely sad for a second when they heard about what happened to Gabe silverberg 😆
So this is the legendary pistol formation of old
The algorithm has brought me back to this masterpiece of SNL sketch comedy.
at 2:33 I just love Steve and Bobby's expressions!
They really nailed the espn documentary
RSK
was that Bill Hader as Morgan Freeman at the start?
Not Morgan Freeman, but as the announcer for the NFL films.
electrojones tried to sound like morgan freeman, where the joke is, "he sounds good doing any narrative"
He was doing John Facenda. The original voice of NFL Films.
no, old football videos sound exactly like that, its an old white man lol not freeman
Hader, but I wish it was Morgan Freeman.
Gun was getting a little cocky.
Brilliant.
bill hader and will forte back-to-back NO LAUGHS ARE YOU KIDDING
actually pretty much this whole thing no laughs hey snl audience are you alive
The moment he said "I'm gonna get my gun" I could picture pumped up kicks playing.
Andy Bobby and Jason are the best parts in this! And Fortes old guy voice was the best!
Whenever anyone asks the difference between American Football and (international) Football, I point them to this documentary. They don't ask any more.
They called me the gun for 2 reasons 1. I had the best arm in the game and 2 I always carried the gun on the Field
You could bring a gun on the field during the game? Oh man, Ray Lewis would have LOVED to have played with those guys.
TheOlskool4ever I hear you should never bring a knife to a gun fight
@@hewhoisn8214 So I've been told. 😃
*Criminally* underrated sketch.
Will Forte is an expert when it comes to old man voices/mannerisms, lol.
I can clearly tell Bill is narrating...what a beautiful voice!
Darrell Hammond and Will Forte had the best old man voices.
No weak link in this sketch. One after another, incredible.
Billy "THE GUN" Van Goff
The best Football player that ever Shot on the field.
I'd say this is one of the finest SNL sketch ever!
I never saw this one before. It's great.
I still quote that to myself sometimes when I'm in a bad mood: "One, I had the best arm in the league. And the second reason was, I always brought a gun on the field with me." Priceless. Well done, everyone in this skit!
*The defense is running away!* XD
This is so well done
When I realized why they called him "The Gun" I lmao
The fighting Allegheny Miners!
vs The Quarry Workers in the Big game
Lmao this is easily the best sports skit on snl. Holy shit
Never seen this. Dying at work. Hysterical.
Hysterical!!!! Anything thing Steve touched was magic.
Omg this was laugh out loud hilarious!! 🤣🤣🤣
1:01
Go Bucks!
🗣 get the Guns back to the field 😂🤣😂🎄😂👍🏿
“He shoots! And he scores!”
Billy Van Goff was Walter Sobchak's childhood sports hero.
"the incident " lol 😂
When you pay attention, There's actually some very amazing acting in this sketch.
My dad used to tell me stories about "The Gun". Of course my dad was always drunk so he may have been talking about Joe Namath.
Underrated comment.
