That's my favorite thing about the sketches from the mid-90s and earlier. Around 2000 they stopped memorizing their lines as much, but they are also able to change the script more and write things for breaking news.
@Mrs Robinson I mean, since they do it every week and don't have weeks to prepare, I don't see it as a big thing, but I know they use big cue cards, written on like poster board. Teleprompters are more for news anchors and politicians, etc. Because of the short amount of time between performances that are only done once, I don't see it really as weird, but it's weird to see them do it, but you can tell who is better at trying to memorize the skits. You also have to remember that not all the guests are good at acting and can do the same. Hillary Clinton was in some skits last election and it was super obvious, but she's also not an actress
If you watch SNL behind the scenes, and see how the show works today, they can't memorize lines because lines change down to the last minute, and actually sometimes right before the skit. This is because a lot of their skits are topical and news and events happening now is a lot faster than it was in the 80s and 90s.
I feel like whoever wrote this had an experience with coming out... With how tough it was being gay back then, I'm impressed that someone took a probably very painful experience and made it in to a pretty good skit.
@A D yeah, being disowned by your family, being excommunicated from everyone who you knew and loved and who you thought loves you back, and getting beaten, divorced, raped and also killed _is pretty frickin' hard, you dope._
In high school the sex ed and relationships counselor came to our class and explained to us some tips on how to come out to our parents... my friend asked how can he come out to his his gay parents since they were really hoping for a gay son.... the lady was caught off guard and it was hilarious 😂
Hoping for a gay son is just as bad as hoping for a straight son. I just hope my son is the best man he’s able to be. I just hope I teach him all the things he needs to survive and thrive. Frankly who he fucks is none of my business. Unless it’s under my roof. Then it’s some of my business. We should just hope we did a good enough job on teaching them to be good men and good partners.
I mean, I don't have a problem with heterosexuals. I have tons straight friends. I just wouldn't be comfortable with my children choosing that kind of lifestyle.
I also have lots of straight friends, but I don't approve of straight marriage. A man and a woman can have a civil union if they want, but marriage should be restricted to two men or two women, not one of each.
@@lottalove2449 Of course, and I'm sure the entire thread is jokes as well. I'm in a straight marriage myself. However, I am capable of being attracted to both men and women.
not really cause by the looks of the thumbnail and the title i thought that the son was gay and the his dad was disappointed and was convincing his dad that he was straight. Sorry for the bad English.
Its strange to watch a snl sketch where the audience isn't laughing and clapping after each sentence but rather waiting till the punchline, no whooping and cackling, its actually really nice.
Comedy writers nowadays seem to think you need a joke every few seconds. I much prefer this kind of slow build. But I understand not everyone likes that.
I lived that experience. My mother was/is a lesbian. I didn't find out until I was 16. I was a little slow to pick up the clues. But once I knew, it made her more of a buddy to me. When I talked with her about girls, it was now from a different place. And when we were out and about, very frequently, I would say, "Mom, what do you think about *her*?" I'm sure many families have gone through these adjustments.

Thx, saved me the trouble of looking it up. I couldn't remember the guy who played the sons name. I kept thinking of Julia Louis Dreyfus husband, even though I knew his name was Brad Hall.
This is such an obscure thing to focus on but I love how the son delivers the line "oh how could you be so stupid". It made this skit feel like it was from a movie or tv show from the 60s-70s
Just shows how silly parents can act when their children come out gay. Just love and support your children regardless of whom they love. Unfortunately some parents are just terrible.
..and parents that can't or won't accept their gay kids sometimes pay a steep price for that... it is well known that gay kids who don't have any family support are way more likely to suffer depression, become alcoholics, develop addiction problems, and commit suicide. Just a little something to consider if you insist on shaming your child or laying guilt trips on them...
@John D. Flathead I'm not sure how you came to the topic of sodomy. (At least I think that's what s****y means) That's like saying. Parents can have values. Such as thinking that s****l interc**rse is impure and immoral.
This reminds me of a cartoon pic I cut out of a newspaper years ago.The parents are like slobs on the couch while the son is walking out the door in a suit and carrying a briefcase. 'The boys going through a rebellious phase'.
This is hilarious and was during a bad time for SNL ratings but this was nailed to perfection no stares off screen no looking for a cue card and no breaking this was classic sketch comedy.
Andreea Sarah it shows how unnecessary the process of coming out is. You like who you like. You love who you love. Simple as that. But i guess people aren't evolved enough, even now. & sadly always gonna find reasons to discriminate.
And it's not about us who are straight that we're being cool and progressive/ liberal, we should all just be accepting & decent human beings. As Anne Hathaway said it (:
Howard Hesseman performs this skit as good if not better than many top billing actors that have been on. Always liked him in WRKP of course, and the bit parts he got in many movies.
Why do people keep saying millennials like we are kids? I'm a millennial at 31, and it's not like I am an old millennial. You are most likely thinking of gen z.
It was sly, and it was brilliant and exactly right in the context. The BSA is paying the price in 2020 for blocking openly gay men from being members or leaders back then. It gave cover to those who wanted it.
That's the highest recognition from an audience towards a performance. the fact that people are talking about the story being told and not about the performance itself means the actors and the writers did an absolutely stunning job.

@Awesome Vines
Twitter, TH-cam, facebook all the social medias and actual news outlets from the left wing. They even use "white cis male" as an insult. Oh go ahead and google said term. Let's see how loving those far lefties are for anyone who represents the norm.
Enjoy being castrated if any of those lunatics get into power.
@Awesome Vines
You clearly haven't looked at left wing politicians lately. They all have shallowed SJW pills.
" And also even they have to admit that the human race can’t survive without a lot of straight sex aha"
Technically it can. You can impregnate artificially.
He may say he's straight but he's not fooling anyone. He gives me strong bisexual vibes
Hmm, I'm thinking more pansexual vibes
@@khaliah7754 whats the diffrence
@@DocotrBayan Someone who is pansexual may be attracted to anyone, regardless of their gender identity
Khaliah but bi won’t?
@@DocotrBayan It depends on one's definition of bi and pan for themselves. I have a friend who identifies as pan, and I indentify as bi, tho I've been attracted to ppl who aren't gender binary
Kind of reminds me of a monty python sketch where the son wanted to have a regular blue collar job unlike his father
Julie E i feel like it was some inspiration to this sketch
I read about something like that irl.
Torey Hayden wrote a book (special Ed teacher) about a kid with emotional problems who turned out to blow out the scale on an IQ test.
Turned out, she really LIKED working at McDonald's, and was damn good at it, so she wound up being the youngest manager of the bunch. Lol
I believe it's covered in her last 2 books...? Great writer.
Library has them.
Didn't know mainstream television was this progressive back in the day
I suppose comedy can allow you to be taboo.
It was better back in the day
@ABC DEF I see where he is coming from. A lot of people may have have negative feelings towards gay people at the time and SNL turned the whole son of mine is gay attitude that many people may have had on it's head.
Check out Sodom and Gomorrha...very progressive. Oh and perhaps more recently Rome.
@@remainhumble6432 Rome grew to much. And the whether Sodom and Gomorrah existed is debatable, let alone whether they were destroyed due to homosexuality.
it reminds me of the Monty Python's sketch with the theatre actor father and the miner son. Same "reverse reality" concept.
Howard Hesseman is the dad and Gary Kroeger is the son, in case anyone else was wondering.
I thought I had recognized Dr. Johnny Fever
thank you, i was wondering
Thx, saved me the trouble of looking it up. I couldn't remember the guy who played the sons name. I kept thinking of Julia Louis Dreyfus husband, even though I knew his name was Brad Hall.
Thanks this was the comment I was looking for.
Best comment! Did these guys go on to do anything else in front of the camera?
Wait a minute: Are they really acting and not simply reading?
Not only that, they're staying in character. Is almost as though they're professionals.
Back when they didn't stare into the distance to read lines
@@clarkkent163000 they're not staying into the distance, they're practically looking into the camera
Years later the set would be used for Everybody loves Raymond.
Whose idea was it to put the punch line in the title? 🤯
don't give more after that just repetition
Surely it's possible that's the original title of the sketch
This is such an obscure thing to focus on but I love how the son delivers the line "oh how could you be so stupid". It made this skit feel like it was from a movie or tv show from the 60s-70s
Gary Kroeger really hams up that facial expression too!
40 years later and this sketch becomes the reality.
Howard Hesseman - most famous for being in WKRP in Cincinatti - great comedy actor
Thank you! Thought that was him. Johnny Fever!
Brilliant. Howard Hesseman played several groundbreaking gay characters in the 1970's-1980s. A brave move for a straight actor.
Hilarious!!
I'll always love Howard Hessman and think of him as Johnny Fever!
2:59 "I did everything I could for you. I even sent you away to YMCA summer camp." LMAO!!!
This was one of the greatest sketches I've seen from SNL can't believe I haven't seen it before
Just shows how silly parents can act when their children come out gay. Just love and support your children regardless of whom they love. Unfortunately some parents are just terrible.
^^ im lucky to have accepting parents
..and parents that can't or won't accept their gay kids sometimes pay a steep price for that... it is well known that gay kids who don't have any family support are way more likely to suffer depression, become alcoholics, develop addiction problems, and commit suicide. Just a little something to consider if you insist on shaming your child or laying guilt trips on them...
@John D. Flathead I'm not sure how you came to the topic of sodomy. (At least I think that's what s****y means) That's like saying. Parents can have values. Such as thinking that s****l interc**rse is impure and immoral.
@@FriendofDorothy Did someone say *RETIREMENT HOME*
@@FriendofDorothy I'll never accept or agree with it but i will still love them, be there for them and treat them the same as i always have.

This reminds me of a cartoon pic I cut out of a newspaper years ago.The parents are like slobs on the couch while the son is walking out the door in a suit and carrying a briefcase.
'The boys going through a rebellious phase'.
This plays different today.
Way ahead of its time
The Magnum PI gag at the end was hilarious.
Can someone explain this? Was Magnum PI associated with the gay community? Or is it just that Tom Selleck is attractive?
my god, howard hesseman. loved that actor.
Dr Johnny Fever
Dad....dad....I'm straight....
Hey straight I'm dad
Oh no dad how could you have done this.
I would love a world if coming out was not a thing
Should have been called, "Son comes out", so the title wouldn't ruin the punchline
Saw the previous comment did ya?
Nobody would watch it then.
Wow copied, cause the top comment is this exactly from three years ago ya dipshit
Damn bro everybody raggin on ya for an extremly mundane but factual statement
OK, so can I like to get Mike’s number? A Med student with a porch is a terrible thing to waste
LOL!
This is hilarious and was during a bad time for SNL ratings but this was nailed to perfection no stares off screen no looking for a cue card and no breaking this was classic sketch comedy.
I'm watching and like how is this SNL? Before Murphy I guess
@@noahhurley-abelew6536 Same time, he didn't leave until 84.
“I sent you to YMCA summer camp......I should have played with you more as a child!” 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
I'm suprised that on a SNL-Sketch were there would usually hundreds of comments there only 21.
“I am... a heterosexual.”
i couldn't agree less 😌✌
The dad's been drinking a lot of Bud light
you can here the exact moment the audience's expectations were subverted. i love it
this is from 1982 ?
Andreea Sarah apparently...yes and am shook too....
I didn't knew that the show is so old . Anyway,it is cool .
Andreea Sarah it shows how unnecessary the process of coming out is. You like who you like. You love who you love. Simple as that. But i guess people aren't evolved enough, even now. & sadly always gonna find reasons to discriminate.
Yeah..maybe. I feel sorry for that. I am not a fan of homophobic people.
And it's not about us who are straight that we're being cool and progressive/ liberal, we should all just be accepting & decent human beings.
As Anne Hathaway said it (:
Way, way ahead of its time! Amazing
Nah, this is making fun of homophobes, so it's actually perfectly in its time.
the acting is unusually good for SNL.
Howard Hesseman performs this skit as good if not better than many top billing actors that have been on.
Always liked him in WRKP of course, and the bit parts he got in many movies.
Man, this hits even better now
Millennial Dads in 10 years time.....
Dear god please be wrong
Redbad of Frisia doubt it
🎯
More likely gen z... We're the gayest generation in history since the ancient greeks
Why do people keep saying millennials like we are kids? I'm a millennial at 31, and it's not like I am an old millennial. You are most likely thinking of gen z.
This was ahead of its time.
And very well done.
"I should have played with you more when you were a baby." That sounds so wrong in the context.
It was sly, and it was brilliant and exactly right in the context. The BSA is paying the price in 2020 for blocking openly gay men from being members or leaders back then. It gave cover to those who wanted it.
If only we could be as light hearted about this today. We've lost the ability to joke around and make fun of ourselves.
This is like from the Future.
Now thats how I like my SNL jokes - 'PLAIN & STRAIGHT' ! 🍷 🕶 😆
its absolutely incredible how damm ahead of its time this is, CRAZY ahead!!!
This comment section passed the vibe check👍🏻
Straight man coming out to his woke father.
Probably want to watch again..... Dad is anything but woke.
@@deniseengle4269 Sarcasm
Woke father? Highly opposite of that actually
The interior of this home makes me nostalgic and warm at heart
Such a few comments on a great comedy sketch
Bryan Hartono.....honestly am total shook right now...I mean how come I never watch this before...its total gold..!!!
That's the highest recognition from an audience towards a performance. the fact that people are talking about the story being told and not about the performance itself means the actors and the writers did an absolutely stunning job.
