This made the whole sketch for me. It was funny the first time, but then each time it was repeated, it just accentuated the sillyness, building it up like a Jenga joke!
Pardon me, Miss. But I strongly doubt any SNL performers, past or present, reads these comments, so I doubt they're offended. Besides that, I could be wrong but, Bobby Moynihan doesn't seem like the type to get all huffy and say: "That's MISTER Moynihan to you!"
All joking aside, in 1962 this was an incredibly frightening episode of Twilight Zone, when special effects weren't as sophisticated as now. I was a kid at the time, and it scared the crap out of me, more than any other single episode of the show.
I saw it in 2019, fuck the so called “not ad sophisticated” effects, this episode is damn scary for how nerve wrecking it was. Its an amazing episode that had me to the edge of the seat. Thats how you do a good thriller.
I first saw this at age 10 the night before a longhaul flight overseas. I was terrified as I went to bed and the next day. That night it was the same weather as in this skit. I flew with my mom. I never told her or my dad that I was scared or why. I just spent the entire 9 hour flight too scared to look out the window
Bill Hader never ceases to amaze me with his talent - his voice box is insane. It seems like whenever SNL needs a voice no one can do they just give it to Bill.

Watch the Twilight Zone episode this is riffing. The actual episode is even more hilarious because the monster looks even worse and William Shatner is chewing up all of the scenery as only he could.
I feel like they missed an opportunity at the end; I really wanted the gremlin-guy to look out his window and also see something! If only they got William Shatner on the show! How epic if the gremlin saw Shatner out on the wing!
@@canadianmoth Yes they do prerecorded stuff, but when they do it's obvious. You can clearly see with the timing that this is live. You can also see that these are sets. You have the view from the front. You have a camera outside that set looking into his window. And somewhere separate but likely nearby, you have the set with the wing. Prerecorded stuff you can see they are in a room somewhere else, or outside, or it's heavily edited in a way that cannot be live. Just look...you can tell.
My dad was a Twilight Zone fan and he loved this episode. So did I. I noticed that Rod Serling always had a cigarette in his hand when he was narrated.
Of course he did. The smooth cool taste of a Lucky Strike cigarette comes as the only cigarette thats toasted. Serling preferred them, so should you! Lucky Strike.
Loved jude's reaction when he looks out the window. And every time Bobby went into attack position I lost it more and more 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 I half expected that Bobby would start seeing something on the wing
Tough room ... I mean this is one of the rare instances where Jude Law is actually funny on SNL; his expressions are priceless, and no one of the audience seems to be laughing at that or at his comments on what the creature is doing, they only laugh at Bobby Moynihan's character, don't get me wrong I love Bobby but Jude Law was equally funny
Sometimes they shoot these sketches wo an audience, if it's too technical to do live. This also could've been from the "dress rehearsal" . It's pretty well made..
Know what's so stupid is nowadays they don't promote smoking ads in our country but they boost drinking ads. So if u smoke and drive u will get home safe and not beat your wife, but if you drink and drive and are prone to alcohol aggression that's OK. Double standards, so much spent on non smoking campaigns when we have real issues.
Jude Law was sooooo good, Bobby as the gremlin was sooooo good, *AND* Pearl Jam on the wing had me literally crying I was laughing so hard!! 🤣🤣🤣 *Why don't I remember such a funny skit??*
I guess they wanted to be more a part of the show besides the two songs that most musical guests play on a typical episode. This still worked pretty well though.
I saw the original version on tv when I was little. It was the most terrifying thing I've ever saw! For many years and up to my adult life, I was afraid to open the curtains in night time!!
The great part about the sketch is that the Gremlin was kinda rude to him when he came on the plane but he was still willing to give up his seat to Mr and Mrs Gremlin. That's just nice
They missed the chance to have a great ending: they should have had the gremlin look out the window and see William Shatner on the wing, dressed in a tuxedo and singing "Rocket Man". When he sees the gremlin, he strikes a scary pose. I think Shatner would have agreed to do that....
The drawback is that 'The Shatner Ego' would never allow it...he simply can't stand to be 'spoofed' or made to look ridiculous for any reason. (the 'Rocket Man' thing would be great...or maybe 'McArthur Park' or 'Age of Aquarius' )
It’s funny when you realize that Rod Serling (Bill Hader) never actually mentions what happened to the grill but you can still see the tables and cake when Pearl Jam appears so it’s very likely that THOSE ITEMS ACTUALLY ARRIVED to South Carolina still on the wing.
I watched all the highest rated Twilight Zone Episodes a few years ago and remember young Shatner doing the original. Jude Law's over-the-top hammy acting is a good impression.
There was a great homage to this Twilight Zone episode in "Third Rock From The Sun". "The Big Giant Head", the alien's leader, comes to Earth, played by, of course, William Shatner. He comments that he was terrorized during his flight when he saw a creature on the wing. John Lithgow says, startled, "The same thing happened to me!" I remember watching the original. Yes, it was scary.
I love how they always look directly into the camera during sketches every two seconds as if they're making sure you're still watching.. imagine if movies, or good television did that.
I wonder how many people went to look for that episode of the Twilight Zone. I remember watching it 50 years ago and William Shatner was the actor with what everyone else thought was having hallucinations.
The "Kiss me, I'm real!" apron! 😂😂😂 They nailed this crap perfectly! The ending was something I never expected. Plus, the Rod Serling impression was spot on! Great job, SNL!
The way Bobby as the "creature" jumps into the pose everytime is just so funny...
This made the whole sketch for me. It was funny the first time, but then each time it was repeated, it just accentuated the sillyness, building it up like a Jenga joke!
@MissX W So what are we supposed to do then? It's not disrespectful or wrong, it's a normal practice. I'm not gonna say mr Moynihan.
Pardon me, Miss. But I strongly doubt any SNL performers, past or present, reads these comments, so I doubt they're offended.
Besides that, I could be wrong but, Bobby Moynihan doesn't seem like the type to get all huffy and say: "That's MISTER Moynihan to you!"
Classic John Belushi pose. Almost every heavy guy on SNL since Belushi emulates him in some way or another, even Jim Belushi.
Pearl Jam joining in was the icing on the cake
All joking aside, in 1962 this was an incredibly frightening episode of Twilight Zone, when special effects weren't as sophisticated as now. I was a kid at the time, and it scared the crap out of me, more than any other single episode of the show.
I was born in 95 and as a little kid it was really creepy, even the simpsons parody was a bit. Twilight Zone was probably my favorite show growing up.
I was born in 80 and it scared me too, then the Simpsons episode did lol. I think it's continued to scare kids for decades

No such thing as a "voice box".

He is my celebrity crush
I could do that voice or something just as good. Certainly didn't resemble Rod Serling.
Jude Law's facial expressions and arm gestures every time he looks out the window is hysterical. It's priceless when Pearl Jam gets in on the act.
Something about this just doesn't seem realistic. I mean look how much leg room everyone has.
Fun fact
That had to do with the heavy regulation that the FAA put on airlines that kept ticket prices and profits high, meaning airlines could afford to fly with few passengers.
An airline called PSA avoided those heavy federal regulations by operating flights entirely within California, soon they had imitators like South West Airlines in Texas.
This gave people an appetite for low cost flying, buses in the sky.
The government started the process of deregulation in the late 70s.
The benefit: more flights to more locations at a lower price that could move more people
The trade off: leg room

We were thinking the same thing , lol.
The Shatner twist, especially, would have been great ~ particularly if he were wearing that same silly costume! 🙂
I would have found it funny if William Dafoe was on the wing in his non masked green goblin persona that his character sees in the mirror.
I was definitely thinking he was going to see something else out the window lol
Doesn’t anybody else ever wonder how these types of skits look to a live audience?
The same. This is a pre recorded video.

Joking aside, the costume we see here is pretty much on a par with the costume they used in the original episode.
So true. George Miller's version was so much better - all because of the costume effects.

His acting was spot-on with actors of this decade, specifically in his delivery.
Jude is a very talented actor. He did a great job this episode.
The gesture the creature does have me laughing every time.

“it’s toning up! It’s seems healthy and dangerous!”

The guy in the back seat at the end was checking out Nassim wayyyy too much.
He can't stop looking haha
She looked especially scrumptious in this sketch. Can't blame the guy.
It does appear as if he's peeping cakes, but he continues to do the same looks in that direction after she goes in the back.
No I wasn't.
she has a nice shape.
As someone who lives in SC, I agree about Myrtle Beach!
'' It's healthy and... dangerous"!!

Really? George Miller's gremlin looked awesome, I thought. As good as 1982's Creepshow's monster in "The Crate".
Jeffrey M. You should read Disney’s Gremlins.

Jude Law should play Cary Grant in a biopic
It would definitely help that they’re both from England!
I never thought that I would find another great Hader skit.

When Pearl Jam showed up it felt/looked like something out of Twin Peaks lol
This is actually brilliant. Captures the essence of the original TZ episode with some fantastic comedy beats undercutting the weird dark drama.
Jude sold that fear... very well.
Didn't crack once despite the shenanigans.
Jude law is so damn good in this
Watch out it’s a bird it’s a plane, no wait it’s Eddie Vedder.
the commitment to the outrageously shocked expression ever time he looks out the window
Yo this shits hilarious. I love how the monster jumps into that crouch position after being spotted every time.
