mary gross is such an amazing actor, i love how into character she was!
Agreed. I never knew her name but I recognize her from other things. I adore JLD but the mom makes the whole sketch.
I did not see her in roles after SNL which was a surprise. She's really funny.
Julia was 22 at the time. Jim was 29 and Mary was 30 and yet they do a good job of making it seem believable that they're her parents.
I would have never guessed either; he def looks 40 in this 😂
@@Floydpink68 Just 40?
Man, it looks like more of a 7 year difference between them. I guess that's what hard-drinking will do to you.
Funny how college students haven't changed a dime since then.
@@davidbingley6734they are even worse nowadays
And here we are 40 years later, and this is still accurate!!🤣
Yep delusions will always thrive with our youth until it affects their own wallet or bank account (if they ever decide to excel in life) lol
@kelligirl1210 part being left out is even if they do figure it out down the line there's still a lot of damage left behind them even impacting other kids mindsets that may never snap out of it. All preventable if we'd not have abandoned our moral norms.
@@ONETimothy2.12-14 @kelligirl1210 Or perhaps the delusions are with the adults who have allowed their minds to be twisted by our corporate rulers who pit us against one another so they can keep profiting off our apathy and ignorance.
Right! Who ever wrote the play should get an Emmy!
How did SNL know about my life?!
Julia hasn't aged one bit😱
Rachel Fifer well she has but where she was pretty then, she’s hot now!
Rachel Fifer Yeah.... sure thing....
Yes the fuck her wrinkled ass has!! lol!!
Sorry Rachel but you are so wrong it hurts. To say she hasn't aged one bit in over 35 years is ridiculous.
True.
Julia was amazing. This is why shes one of my favorite comedic actresses.
Julia is the epitome of a natural beauty..... XO XO
I always remember being super hippie when I came home from college so this is very relatable haha
Mary Gross is so brilliant in this scene.
Would love to see Julia Louis Dreyfus play the mom now in the same sketch 😄
who would play the daughter role now?
80% of my class is black! But I don't notice that even though I seem to notice the exact percentage.
Haha..that was "the joke"...
@Ab Ba it's funny watching this skit now close to education's Apex.
It is amazing how people who claim not to be racist say racist things, and they do not even realize it.
My 1st semester in college it took me a whole month to realize I was the only non-white person in 2 of my classes.
Also fun fact: Julia's son and I went to the same university. He was a senior when I was a freshman
@@MP-ef9yo it took me a year to realise I was the only non-white person in my entire school and I was 1 of 5 in my entire university and I lived in London.
wow actual acting
@@jeaninev Yes, no perceptible glancing at cue cards. Imagine. All three did a wonderful job. And Julia Louise-Dreyfus is adorable.
But not funny
What? ... ripping off ' all in the family' with a half ass skit ?
Fah real....no cue card reading
Compared to how they do these skits today there's remarkably little reliance on cue cards.
Bill Fish and they are comedy not just political bashing.
It makes such a difference when they look at each other and not read everything. They need to change the way they put these sketches together
i know! real acting and real comedy!
smcg actually kinda relevant in 2017 isn't it?
yeahh!!! ... just tradition and religion bashing
1983 Wow, this was actually a great skit living in the never-ending present
Jim seems to always pull these types of roles off really well.
Not very funny, but really great acting all around. Impressive, actually, for a sketch comedy show that's live.
James Helgason agree. It’s funnier than the remake of this sketch, although I’d trade belushi for Will Ferrell everyday.
I thought it was funny. It’s strange how our overall sense of humor changes over time. And how in different countries different things are considered funny. Vastly different. This has been a reflection by Roy. And that’s not my real name.
Yea idk. It’s probably not funny to me because I’ve seen this bit redone a thousand ways now. On the first airing it was prbly pretty funny tho. Gotta hand it to them this came off like a recorded sitcom, can’t barely tell this was a live take
Agree. The audience didn’t laugh much either.
Julia’s acting ability is much better than the other two. But I’m impressed that no one is looking at cue cards.
Around 2000 they changed it so reading the cards is what they all do.
That must be the reason why she got casted in Seinfeld and Veep after SNL.
I love this comedy sketch, it’s so funny, amusing and classic!
Jim was in one of my fav skits of all time- please post ‘Tag You’re it’ - when someone sneaks in through the window in the middle of the night and touches him while he is sleeping and says ‘you’re it’- then the next day, the whole city tries to avoid him.
I love the mom😂😂
Mary Gross. So funny.
God bless all mothers in this world! No matter what, they make the impossible to bring peace in their families.
Dysfunction: keeping the tradition alive even today. 😆 awesome that they are still doing these 30years after. God i love snl.
omg never seen Julia Louis Dreyfus this young and on SNL. :P
she was 21.
She and Eddie Murphy were the only reasons I paid much attention to snl, back then.
It's like a very short one-act play.
“I’d like to read nietzche! I’d like that 😌” SENT me lmao
What does nietzche mean?
@@ziggy12657 He's an author/philisopher that had many focuses, but some of the main ones were the relationship between religion and society
@@ziggy12657 That "God is dead".
Julia’s voice sounds so different when she’s yelling not even recognizable
Lol true it doesnt even sound like her at all
I love this material. Its raw. It doesnt point any direct fingers... Its very reflective with a bit of humor tossed in there
Mary Gross is AMAZING.
Her name is Kate now!!!
Talk about obnoxious! Julia nails it! XD
That's funny, I didn't get along with my dad either! I got along with my grandma & my mom! My grandma was my best friend too! As a 17 year old the Priest wanted me to give half of the eulogy & I did! It was so easy to do I just told everyone how good my grandma treated me! I got a standing ovation.
The priest was right, if I told my story it will be more emotional and down to life!
I really don't know how this makes me feel the mom is like Dobby from Harry Potter
I feel so sorry for her. She’s too good of a person
Unaired Seinfeld footage flash-backing Elaine in the college years. JLD was so ahead of her time.
American colleges really excel at turning out angry young women.
And angry left cuck men
I wonder about Jim Belushi, he must have had people say every day 'oh your brother John was SO FUNNY, a genius.. can you do that thing he used to do..' etc.
.....he had a brother?
What ever happened to Mary gross . She was good
Batcavesales Batman
Never knew back then that Mary is the sister of Michael Gross from Family Ties.
1Rdby wow I had no idea!
Made a couple movies, then she disappeared. She did make an appearance last year when Julia Louis-Dreyfus got the Mark Twain award.
I like her in Sabrina the Teenage Witch, could see some Mrs Quick vibes from character she was playing in this SNL sketch!
take the laugh track away and this is really sad
This was broadcast live with an audience.
It's not a laugh track.
Are you that stupid? It's Saturday "fucking" Night Live. Live being a hint here.
Well, just take the laughing away then. It makes it weird. And all three of the family members sound like horrible people.
That's how South Park is these days
Probably a pretty standard Thanksgiving dinner these days!
hard to believe how far Julia Louis dreyfus has come along.mary gross is also the sister of actor Michael gross from family ties
1983 wow timeless
Wow, this one took a really, really dark turn at the end.
@Dhruv Erry The turkey. It's dark meat.
,
You think forcing a kid to eat is dark? Let me guess, you were born after 1995.
This stuff was real ahead of its time yo
It's called programming. It's a slow drip with things that sound insane until they are beaten into the public psyche, then the faucet is turned on full blast. An unfunny skit to bring ignorant ideas to the public. Look how far we've degraded as a society since then.
Or it was a common argument between lefty youth culture and conservative parents and it is just still going on today. Not new at all.
@@ohbusiness thats why its genius.
@@dominiquecampbellzero
Yep feel good delusions will always thrive with our overly dramatic youth unless it starts to affect their own bank account lol
also too,was watching the 80's SNL special awhile back,and someone had said how there were some angry type sketches.this is one of them
"I'd like to read Nietzsche". No, no, you really wouldn't.
80% of my friends are black and I don’t even notice!!
I’ve lived this when my kids went to college a few years ago! 😂
Did they snap out of it, or are they still woke leftists?
The 'Eddie Murphy' cast was underrated. Unlike some of the 'Will Ferrell' cast's which were lackluster!
Wasn't this where Julia-Louis got her big break? Not SEINFELD. And Jim was on SNL too. Damn... this might be a good fit for him. But all people could say is, "He's not John!"
Fantastic acting by Julia
I think I remember reading once that Julia didn't have fond memories working on SNL. But then she joined Seinfeld and the rest is history. She's fantastic ❤
I didn't even know she was on SNL. I wasn't watching at this point. What year is this?
@DanielWeinreb-vc6et hmm I think around 82 to 84.. 🤔
Julia was an underrated cast member
The mother was me for so many years and when I finally spoke up I was considered a bitch to my daughter. She wasn’t used to it. Don’t get me wrong my husband was good to both of us...separately. He doesn’t know what to do.
May I suggest whooping? 😂😅 These days it's called child abuse, but not back when I was a kid.
If my daughter pulled that shit on me, 2 things would happen: She is disowned and out of the house, 2 she is out of my will. There are no second chances.
@@scottodonnell7121 you sound lovely
Wow Julia's character really was the future of America
I remember saying all of the same things she said to my parents when I came home for thanksgiving dinner my first semester of college. This was in the early 90s.
Or this just shows kids have always been like this
Yep emotional delusions will always thrive with our overly dramatic youth until it affects their own wallet or bank account (if they make the decision to excel in life) lol
“I don’t wanna eat this turkey!”
“Well you should’ve said that before your mother spent 2 days on this meal!!!!!”
classic SNL.
Basil In the Forest Never be this good? I love JLD, but this was the worst period in the history of the show. It almost got canceled.
Not this season you are talking about the 1980-81 season.
Nothing's changed in 35 years.
No way this would be made today. First, they memorized the dialogue, and today they only read cue cards. Second, it's smart, it's provoking, it's well acted. There is no way this would be done today
I drive a Dodge Stratus, big time stuff
i was just refreshed that Julia didn't break lol
During that one part it appears that Mary was about to lose it!
Thank you for posting this. This should have been in the Thanksgiving best of special.
Mary Gross seems to be doing an imitation of my grandmother, even down to the hair. Although she wouldn't really have reacted that way.
Damn this was foreshadowing for todays college kids. Spot on. Belucci discipline her spoiled ass.
This seems less a comedy skit and more a hidden camera show documenting somebody's Thanksgiving, lol.
Mary Gross is the best SNL cast member ever, yer just jealous.
She looks like child so talented
Julia was so cute. Still is.
Love that mother!
That daughter needs a good talking to from Gumby Dammit!
Tom Ripsin who told you to say dammit dammit? It’s Gumby by gum
But where’s the comedy and what’s the joke? It’s interesting to see Julia so young but this is barely a comedy skit. Also Jim Belushi is the touch of death towards comedy but even without him the premise isn’t funny.
This skit is today in a nutshell.
Ps. This is why American idiot by green day is one of my favorite songs
White Americans were created by Europeans because that’s where we originated from LOL
We’re all essentially the same as humans - just different regions, environments and skin color
Mary (Frances) very well plays the passive, codependent type that doesn’t want to disagree with JLD or JB
It's weird to think that Jim is 29 in this.
He looks 40 something
You know, when threatened with a whupping in my house, they usually follow through. 😂😂😂 Glad this is SNL and not the Harper household.
pretty crazy that a parent would consider hurting their college aged offspring. thats something power hungry people do
@@MsDudette21 I specifically remember my mom saying I was still old enough to be spanked, lol. Either way, it's been a long time since. I'm fixing to be 21.
Sounds like my fam😂😂😔
That skit was funnier than I remembered it being tbh
Wow.. college kids. I guess some things never change lol!!!
Why didn't she just eat the mashed the taters and the Stuffer and Vegetables lol
Because she’s an overgrown baby throwing a tantrum for attention aka virtue signaling
Great acting all around. It felt like this was part of a really good satire play but as a skit for SNL this missed the mark. Not funny, not bad, not good, but more like. umm wHat?
It might have been more weird than funny when it aired but that's because it was way ahead of its time, and has aged incredibly. "Woke" college girl talking down to her parents after spending a few months in the city... genius
To add to the dysfunction, they appear to have set up their dinner table in the living room?
Somehow I must have missed or zoned out the 1983 season (and not for any fun reasons). I just know when I first saw the show Seinfeld it was mentioned that she was from SNL and I was surprised. I have no idea how I could've missed that!
This was really awkward didn't really see the funny side of it? And I've always loved Belushi!
Why did Kate even go home if she disliked her family's ways so much?🤔
They’ve been working on this particular agenda for a good while lol
So tumblr people existed even before tumblr existed.
Damn, man yes. What generation were your parents?
Represent ✌🏽
She dosent eat anything thats alive, thats like eating nothing at all!
This should’ve been part of a full-length feature film.😅
Sounds like college student from 2021 wow
Holy crap, the arguments are the same 30 years later.
40 years.
They’ve been playing the long game lol
Why isn’t Season 9 of SNL on Hulu?
Was this before Sienfield?
yep, Seinfeld started in 1989.
EXCELLENT SKIT !!!
Who on earth thought this was funny
@Inner Peace I just don't see it as funny because at the end it looks like her father is holding her against her will
@Inner Peace Well, how did you rate. Don't sugarcoat it like that, tell her straight. Personally, I liked the skit, thought it was funny and well acted. But, I think people have a right to disagree. They certainly don't deserve an outburst like that.
Now, stf up, and finish your consumption of raw meat.
A young Mary Goss from American Horror Story ! 🤗
I'M A DIVISION MANAGER!! I DRIVE A DODGE ASPEN!!!
Age has only made her even more beautiful! Wow! Didnt expect this lol
Age & surgery
Why Vegan's don't often care to dine with Mom & Dad.
Always weird to see JLD looking like a teenager.
The beginnings of "woke" were in the 1960's. This skit was pointing out how extreme it was making the kids. Sadly, no one took it seriously at the time, nor got this joke and now we have what we have. Too bad more fathers weren't like this.
Indeed, SNL has become a sad parody of itself.
Right? SNL is now more woke than the girl in this skit.
That's the teacher from Sabrina and the troop leader from Troop Beverley Hills! I grew up hearing that voice.
She looks the same. Her beauty is timeless
This would not have flown in my house.
“...if you go to see a woman, you must not forget the whip..." from "Thus spoke Zarathustra"/ by Frederich Nietzche...Subtle irony or coincidence?
Well, _that_ was embarrassing. Luckily she got on a show with better writers. Come to think of it, Larry David was writing for SNL at the time, but they only ever used one of his bits. Obviously, this one was not it.
