Which is funny when you consider SNL had Fear play almost 39 years ago and were then banned for trashing the set and playing "offensive" songs on live tv 🤣
I remember i went to a show for a band called in the whale, and for like 15 minutes, they couldn’t get the lead singer’s mic to work, so they just played their songs without the mic for a bit. It was cool

Bill Hader about this sketch: “We did this sketch where we were a punk wedding band. I was playing bass, and Dave Grohl was on drums-that was one of the biggest moments of “SNL” for me. If you had told me at 15, “You’ll play with Dave Grohl on ‘SNL,’” I’d be like, “You’re out of your mind.” At one point, Dave was like, “Hey, Bill, you sound good.” I almost threw up, I was so terrified. But I was excited. That was a life dream, that moment.”
@Marios Louka he was the drummer in Trenchmouth. He didn't sing as far as I know. He talks about being in a band but rarely says the name of the band, probably because the guitarist was convicted on child porn charges years after they broke up.
@@icequeen917 they were more of a 90s post-hardcore thing, but really good. Noisy and chaotic. Fred is an awesome drummer and the singer played congas so it's really dense, percussion-wise. If you search "Trenchmouth band" here you should be able to find some live clips
As much as this tickles my old punk heart, Sudeikis’ enthusiastic cheers at the end is the part that lives in my brain rent-free. Crisis Of Conformity forever!
Sudeikis is basically that guy who went to one hardcore punk show when he was in high school in the '80s & never got another chance to go to another. In other words, Sudeikis is playing me. I feel so seen.
@@jonsrecordcollection7172 That's a perfect description! I've been to 100's of shows since the 90's and have friends that went to maybe 1 or 2 back then and still talk about how much they loved it. LOL
This is one of my all time fave sketches and as much as I love Armisen's old school references, the fact Hader is actually playing bass, and everything about Dave, watching Sudeikis is the best part of the whole thing!😂😂
Really miss the days of Crisis of Conformity. Their raw, unapologetic sound defined an era and nothing today quite compares. Those were the true golden days of punk. 🎸🔥
I used to be the bodyguard for Henry Rollins. One night I found him in his dressing room crying uncontrollably. I asked him what was wrong, and what he said to me I will never forget. "Crisis of Conformity were the best to ever do it." Goddammit, he was right.
When your dad's a huge fan of an underground band called “Crisis of Conformity” and you marry the daughter of the lead singer of said band. It's a very beautiful union.
and the sad thing is, this was probably thought of by Lorne Michaels as a throwaway sketch they had to fight to keep in the show. Some of the best sketches in SNL history are the ones they put on in the last 15 minutes because it's a gamble. The Will Forte/Sudekis NASA potato chip sketch comes to mind.
You realize punk rock requires very little skill playing instruments. Doyle, the guitarist for the misfits join the band when he had only been playing guitar for like 3 months. Punk isn't that hard to do lol
@@PISStopherNolansmh you realize, this has more to do with COORDINATION, than skill...correct? The fact he can still keep the timing, while completely shifting his focus to something else, is what's being highlighted- NOT the actual drum playing, itself 🙄
I saw them at 688 in Atlanta back in '84. All I remember was right after they played "Scandalous Youth" someone threw a beer at their singer and he beat the shit out of the guy who threw it. Called the show early but I snuck around back and shared a cigarette with the drummer, great night all around.
Armisen used to be in a band called Trenchmouth and that's why he's able to do such an on-target portrayal of early 80s DC hardcore punk show energy. The performance is authentic as fuck, the comedy stems entirely from doing it at a wedding reception.
Crisis of Conformity - amazing band. I saw them live at the Trocadero in 1982. I was young at the time but I always remember their raw energy. Amazing to see them back together again.
Went very West Coast with this. Armisen is channeling Jello Biafra's physicality while the early verses were very Dead Kennedys. Then a great Suicidal Tendencies breakdown, and into the chant. Fantastic.
Most comedy sketches are lucky to pull off one underrated line. I lost count on this one? And Hader tossing his bass pick to Sudekis afterwards was ** chef's kiss ** Absolute classic.
I spent 13 years in a touring street punk band. I've played shows in almost every state. I've seen the scene form sea to shining sea, and this is exactly. How. It. Is. 😂 This is great. FIST FIGHT! FIST FIGHT! FIST FIGHT IN THE PARKING LOT!
Yet they were meant to be middle aged men, probably born in the late 50's, though Fred Armisen and Dave Grohl were 43 and 41 at the time. Aging rock stars usually settle down and reinvent themselves like David Bowie and Paul Weller did.

Cadenza-Norton Wedding Band: Dez Cadena: Singer of Black Flag Greg Norton: Bass Player for Husker Du Lyle Presler: Guitarist for Minor Threat Steve Depace: Drummer for Flipper Sound good??
@@lostwojak2554 it was definitely intentional, if you have ever gone to show or to a battle of the bands, someone at some point has no sound from a mic, and its definitely mainly the drummers mic, seeing as how most venues dont expect a singing drummer, even though most bands have them.
This is one of my ALL-TIME favorite skits and this song plays on repeat in my head and will forever. From Dave Grohl's mic not being on properly to Bill Hader throwing his pick to the father of the groom at the end played by Jason Sudeikis this entire skit is a classic. Timeless funny then, funny now, funny forever. (Mic drop)
One of the most underrated sketches from snl I've seen. I love how sudeikis has the brightest smile on his face and hes just enjoying the music that kills me everytime!
Cadenza-Norton Wedding Band: Dez Cadena: Singer of Black Flag Greg Norton: Bass Player for Husker Du Lyle Presler: Guitarist for Minor Threat Steve Depace: Drummer for Flipper Sound good??
@josiecee23 I am actually swiss, so I don't speak english as my native language. We used to call just everything "pogo" - even if it was stagediving (well, maybe not exactly, but close to). Yet, I can actually remember to have read the term "moshpit" for the first time in a MRR fanzine back in 1989 in a letter written by a fan who was ranting about suicidal tendencies' fanbase who would just beat up anybody who'd dare to start a "moshpit" at their gigs. So maybe you're right as grunge started shortly after that ( it was about 90-91 when I first heard that specific seattle sound).
4 notes in on the song and Kutcher is so amped up, he shoves his heel through an entire wine flight. It is just too perfect. Kicking Bobby and Kenan’s serving platters for no reason just kills me every time. What a mess but what a crazy off the wall sketch.
I tried to convince my brother to let me do this skit at his wedding, he's a huge Armisen fan, but he reluctantly said no. He was worried the bride and her family wouldn't get it... he was on the fence though. I almost had him. Should have done it anyway.
I don't think people in the audience appreciated this sketch...it was really funny! If your a fan of punk or hardcore music ...this sketch is so on the money! Fred Armison was so perfect
Tskune B. As a self professed punk hating metal head, I have to say that this is the greatest skit I have ever seen..! Loved the “Suicidal” part of the tune. Total Genius!
I absolutely loved this sketch. My dad’s an old punk rocker-he was an editor at Spin magazine in its early days and still listens to the coolest shit. The funny thing is, he looks like a regular dad 😂. I wish something like this had happened at my wedding!
I'm now that old punk rocker who looks like a typical middle-aged person on the outside and only gets to relive my youth through reminders like this skit. This is definitely one of my SNL faves; it's so accurate!
Me too man. Still love getting to shows though. 50 and still not afraid to get up the front although my hip my break one day. Gotta get out and see music man. It’s vital. After covid19 of course. 👊🏼
You gotta love how Keenan is just standing there waiting for Bill 1:52 and quickly pretends to be looking for someone or Bobby's cursing Ashton 2:07. Even in small roles, they shine
The moment with Dave Grohl and the microphone was unintentionally one of the most accurate depictions of punk shows on national television.

I dont think it was unintentional
@@calebkendrick5286 Genius if it was on purpose
The husband's dad being the only one actually enjoying the whole thing and is happily dancing along makes me really happy for some reason.
The only thing that would have been better is if the dad-in-law started a mosh pit by the head table. This sketch was perfect.
Hmm people music
And the mother-in-law enjoyed it as well despite the lack of emotion. She should have head banged with a poker face on.
Kind of like the one black dude in the VFW dancing and clapping along to Eddie Murphys Reggae Band playing "Kill The White People"
..the father of the bride pays for the wedding
....the grooms dad should be the only one havin a good time
Hader throwing Sudeikis his guitar pick at the end. Excellent touch.
That's a really nice touch right there!
And Nasim stood up to applaud. Nice!
i miss them

Was he 15 when Dave Grohl was famous?
L.A. NATIVE TV Hader was born in 1978. Nevermind came out in 1991. Ergo, Hader was 13 when Dave Grohl became famous.
@@yosoyconsuela lets be honest though, no one knew Dave Grohls name while Kurt was still alive. I know because I was 15 at the time.
Just noticed Hader tossing his pick to Sudekis at the end of the skit. So good.

Does anyone have the lyrics for this? GENIUS!!!
Having the drummer's mic break was the most punk rock moment of this entire sketch.
You gotta give Ashton Kutcher points for onstage situational awareness, though, to cover with his mic...
Assume that was planned, since it was so very appropriate for a punk show
svyt, Kutcher coming in with some top level roadie skills was pretty impressive.

Verily
@@god617 Dilly Dilly
LOLs
😂 what makes him look late though? 😆
Looking like Ron Kuby LOL
Quick thinking by Ashton Kutcher when Grohl’s mic cuts out.
Im still not sure was it intentional or not
@@lostwojak2554 it was definitely intentional, if you have ever gone to show or to a battle of the bands, someone at some point has no sound from a mic, and its definitely mainly the drummers mic, seeing as how most venues dont expect a singing drummer, even though most bands have them.
I’m gonna say dead battery on a wireless mic. I’ve seen that more often.
I definitely think Kutcher stepped in to save that one. Quick thinking. Well done 👍
Dude this is a skit. This show isnt live. They rehearse everything. It was still funny though.
This is one of my ALL-TIME favorite skits and this song plays on repeat in my head and will forever. From Dave Grohl's mic not being on properly to Bill Hader throwing his pick to the father of the groom at the end played by Jason Sudeikis this entire skit is a classic. Timeless funny then, funny now, funny forever. (Mic drop)
I won't lie, I keep coming back here for the good music
It's an actual song. Look up "Fist fight - Crisis Of Conformity"
@@BloodClanResurrection yeah I know 😀 that was the first thing I did after watching it, but I like this version too, Armisen's vibe
this one never gets old
One of the most underrated sketches from snl I've seen. I love how sudeikis has the brightest smile on his face and hes just enjoying the music that kills me everytime!
This is the first time I have ever watched this and it is hysterical.
Hardcore wouldn't be what it is today without this band
Cadenza-Norton Wedding Band:
Dez Cadena: Singer of Black Flag
Greg Norton: Bass Player for Husker Du
Lyle Presler: Guitarist for Minor Threat
Steve Depace: Drummer for Flipper
Sound good??
I love the look of shock and dismay on the faces of the people who look like they've never heard Punk Rock before....hilarious
It isnt real punk unless the vocalist has to search for the microphone to finish the song.
Up next At the drive-in
Kyle Whitt dancing on the corpses ashes
@@jessica_jam4386 Yep Exactly..
yes, the audience isn't punk at all - no stage dives, no moshpit, no jackass skateboarders...
@josiecee23
I am actually swiss, so I don't speak english as my native language. We used to call just everything "pogo" - even if it was stagediving (well, maybe not exactly, but close to).
Yet, I can actually remember to have read the term "moshpit" for the first time in a MRR fanzine back in 1989 in a letter written by a fan who was ranting about suicidal tendencies' fanbase who would just beat up anybody who'd dare to start a "moshpit" at their gigs. So maybe you're right as grunge started shortly after that ( it was about 90-91 when I first heard that specific seattle sound).
2:10 -- Pro move by Ashton, handing the mic to Dave, when he noticed Dave's mic was down.
This skit never grows old.
Unlike Kutcher’s character as the guitarist in the band. Lol
Unlike my prostate
Anyone who can create parody and awesome music at the same time is an absolute genius
4 notes in on the song and Kutcher is so amped up, he shoves his heel through an entire wine flight. It is just too perfect. Kicking Bobby and Kenan’s serving platters for no reason just kills me every time. What a mess but what a crazy off the wall sketch.
It's fucking punk, what did you expect?
If this isn’t me at my kids wedding, I didn’t live my life
definetly , im doing this as well.
The song or the fist fight in the parking lot?
@@RapsCalorie Why not both?!
@@RapsCalorie Yes!
My kids are lucky I never had any,lol.
Anyone notice the sign at the beginning that said “Cadena-Norton Wedding?”
Dez Cadena was the lead singer of Black Flag. Nice Easter egg.
Supposedly Dez Cadena was the guy who gave Greg Norton the idea to grow out his moustache and to start waxing it up.....
Also the band members
Greg - could be greg ginn or greg norton
Lyle - lyle from fugazi
Steve - could be steve albini
lynn pehrson fugazi is the most slept on band of all time. I got smashed last night and came home blasting shut the door.
The Cadena reference is the only reason I clicked on this.
@@lynnpehrson8826 Lyle was in Minor Threat though, not Fugazi
Oh my God!!! I was laughing out loud! I love this. Jason Sudeikis yelling "Yeah you are!" at the end. Hilarious. ❤
I tried to convince my brother to let me do this skit at his wedding, he's a huge Armisen fan, but he reluctantly said no. He was worried the bride and her family wouldn't get it... he was on the fence though. I almost had him. Should have done it anyway.
At least you tried! That is almost a once in a lifetime opportunity! Hahaha!
Should have done it at the bachelor party or something lol
Better to beg for forgiveness than ask permission.
Awwww that would’ve been hilarious!!
Good thing you didn’t tbh it would have been awkward and embarrassing for everyone :/
Love the nod to "Institutionalized"... Great sketch!
Justin G all I wanted was a Pepsi
I noticed that too! Lol S.T!
Just one Pepsi
Wr got Suicidal Tendencies, some Black Flag, Bad Brains, Minor Threat, good old school shit.
I'm not crazy!
Fred hitting himself over the head with the bottle kills me every time.
PROBABLY A gg allin refernce
The stage dive into the wedding cake is major! So funny, great stage dives are rare.
Oh yes!! 🤣
the fact that grohl's mic went out during the song made it that much more punk rock!
2:25 that was the most casual broken bottle over someone's head in the history of broken bottles.
I didn't even notice it until I went back
I assume you've never watched a GG allin performance before? Cause he did it with real bottles that causally.
This is the only kind of wedding I'd ever be interested in attending.....
Professicchio me too
Agreed.
Absolutely agree...i fkn hate weddings...fk all my friends who get married and make me come to their stupid day!
Same
But the I wouldn't have watched it
A touring band from Milwaukee playing my local dive bar last month covered this.
Fuck yeah 😅
Nice!
Fred Armiston actually used to be in a punk band for real back in the day
I think the drummer did too, not sure though
@@mattthomas9974 hmmm wonder which band that was...
@@danielkim6751 lmao lol!
Daniel Kim pretty sure he’s an ex blink member
He was actually in a small band known as Scream in the 80’s.... but he didn’t do much after that
Every wedding should be like this. People would stay together more.
Why does this not happen
The band really lost it over the past 25 years. Still better than 95% of most wedding bands.
As a server at a wedding hall, I 100% agree.
I also connected with Keenan’s character here on a soul level
"Do you hear that Alexander Haig?" -- perfect time and place. Oi!
Broken mic. Most punk thing ever.
I don't think people in the audience appreciated this sketch...it was really funny! If your a fan of punk or hardcore music ...this sketch is so on the money! Fred Armison was so perfect
I knoo lmao..this was super funny i only heard a few laughs...
When Ashton Kush kicks the table ,Fred armison jumps on the cake almao 🤣 😂 😆 💀 😅.... classic 80s punk rock at CBGB,
I'm an extra at the dais in this sketch. One of my favorite extta jobs ever.
You're never too old for a fistfight in the parking lot.
I've seen this a million times and just now noticed Hader's pick toss to Jason Sudekis , just perfect!
I came expecting to laugh but instead just got to hear a pretty rad punk song.
Joe Jones doesn’t hurt with Grohl on drums !
FIST FIGHT IN A PARKING LOT
OH...MY...GOD!!! As someone who absolutely loves this era of punk, this skit is amazing!!!
Tskune B. As a self professed punk hating metal head, I have to say that this is the greatest skit I have ever seen..!
Loved the “Suicidal” part of the tune.
Total Genius!
And it sounded like punk mot pop punk which made it good lol
Alexandra Haig and Reagan
Tskune B. You should see the Elton John and the Queen one. Quality British punk.
I absolutely loved this sketch. My dad’s an old punk rocker-he was an editor at Spin magazine in its early days and still listens to the coolest shit. The funny thing is, he looks like a regular dad 😂. I wish something like this had happened at my wedding!
Love the Suicidal Tendencies reference! Also, this fake punk band is better than most
I was hoping other people got that too. It triggered lyrics in my head that I hadn't heard for years..."your institutional learning facilities!"
I’m not crazy! Institution!!!
All I wanted was a pepsi and she wouldn't give it to me
They do a brilliant job of creating a song that sounds completely from that period! And, I wanna see these guys live!
I saw your mummy and your mummy's dead!!!
Has anyone else come back to see this more than 10 times? Or is it just me 😅
Me too
We are a whole bunch of people I think
I feel like I watch this every month or two
🙋😂😂😂😂
Nope me too!
I used to follow these guys around on tour with Suicidal Tendencies. Good to see they still have that groove! FIST FIGHT IN THE PARKING LOT!!
Fred Armisen nailed the hardcore punk choreo.
I'm now that old punk rocker who looks like a typical middle-aged person on the outside and only gets to relive my youth through reminders like this skit. This is definitely one of my SNL faves; it's so accurate!
Me too man. Still love getting to shows though. 50 and still not afraid to get up the front although my hip my break one day. Gotta get out and see music man. It’s vital. After covid19 of course. 👊🏼
@@70zenboy I'm almost in my 50 and I miss those concerts, I dream about it. Hope soon we'll be back again!!!!!
Honestly the best thing SNLhas ever done and this song is actually killer!
Here is the song i guess, th-cam.com/video/7BmvouzZj9Q/w-d-xo.html
You gotta love how Keenan is just standing there waiting for Bill 1:52 and quickly pretends to be looking for someone or Bobby's cursing Ashton 2:07. Even in small roles, they shine
One of my all-time favorite skits. It's so nice to be able to watch it again.
"You hear that Alexander Haig!"...get's me every time. A perfectly random early 80's reference.
I love the Dead Kennedys political references and also the Suicidal Tendencies musical “breakdown” in this song.
For Real....
I can picture Jello Biafra singing that line!
