25 years but it still feels like yesterday. We miss you, Phil.
I cannot believe it has been 25 years! Feels like it was maybe 10-12 years ago.
Summer of 98. I remember it too. He was one of the greats
Tragic. So great….
Damn he was funny.
he was a gift
If you look closely in the background you can see this guy "Has all his ducks in a row". Love the subtle humor in that.
#whatsgoodforthegoosetauntology
And all the measurement cups
Nice observation 👍 "Place these neatly in the background"
Very good, they not only well aligned, they are descending order
@@petergreen5337 i got that! 1 of my other very favorite sktches.
Phil Hartman was far and away the most complete talent in the history of Saturday Night Live.
The man of a thousand voices... so irreplaceable!
Him..murphy..and carvey.
true enough it might be relevant he was much older , in his forties, than most snl cast members who tend to be in their early twenties when first cast he joined snl after several different careers and he spend sometime living in germany before that generally his experiences were much larger than most new snl cast members and that is why he was so unique as a performer
Amen brother!!!
And canadian
I see I am not alone in still missing Phil Hartman. He was immensely talented. He made everything look so effortless.
I bet he was hard to write for, when you have the best talent you’d want to make sure you’re giving them the best jokes.
Did you notice how silent the audience was though? I was silent too. I was amazed, like in awe, of how well he pulled it off. I didn't want to miss a nuance. I'm going to watch it again for fun.
I bought a crappy video game just because he did the voice over for it.
What a legend. RIP. This sketch is absolute comedy gold-I remember this airing live and brand new.
I remember the first SNL airing live lol, yes I'm old! I would put him in the top five of my favs.
Yeah so does the majority of the world. You aren't special because you were alive in the 90s. Lmao.
I was born in 75 so I saw it "brand new" too but didn't feel the need to spotlight it like it makes me famous. 😅😂jesus
@@lilythebassetpuppyDICK
I remember my dad watching this and he was laughing his ass off.
@@ZepG Same!The talent in the original cast was massive and still the best, IMO
And those defective pepper chunks sit in the landfill to this day, hermetically sealed for eternity.
They need the time to think about what they've done
😂
What did they do with all of the fat from your Breast Reduction surgery? Make Soap?...... or is it in the "Special" landfill for Bio-waste? Ms. Punky "Boobster".
He was far away, the most natural talent SNL ever produced. If there was ever alumni that could’ve easily won best leading actor in a film, it was Phil Hartman.
Technically the Groundlings produced him and a bunch of other talent that made it to SNL
SNL didn't produce his talent. He developed it at the Groundlings. SNL gave him his big break
They called him "Glue" or "The Glue" because he could put ANYTHING together and make it Stick.....
Tony?
God he was just so insanely talented and funny. Imagine all the incredible work he would have done if he lived longer. Rest in Peace 🙏
Would have loved to see him impersonating Trump.
@@lorenamares1427 he did a skit back in the early 90s when Daffy was divorcing his first wife
That little laugh he gives after “now there’s some garbage you can live with.“
"this way it won't leak into the other garbage" I will never get sick of this man!
Come on! Tape despenser cozy! 2021 needs some Gene. And some Phil. :) ❤️
Phil Hartman, Bill Murray, and Eddie Murphy were my all-time favorite SNL players. Losing Hartman was such a tragedy.
The Simpsons went downhill after Hartman.
Martin Short, Dana Carvey, Kristen Wig. There were lots of greats.
Not a fan at all of the group now that shows it's political colors.
@@gispel7058 Well, it's been well documented that conservatives don't have much sense of humor.
@@gispel7058calm down Karen. How could anyone not mock the moron Trump? He’s endlessly stupid.
LOL at, “As a matter of fact, this stovetop could use a lick and a promise while we’re at it.”
As someone with OCD I just want to say everything this man did made complete sense to me.
Yes! Right there with you!
@@lelaknox Yes, I fail to see the problem.
"Look at this..isn't this nice" it gets me every time.
Not at all
I use a plastic bag for the trash bits instead of paper! You don't want the garbage to smell!
Phil Hartman was an SNL legend! Always loved watching him when I was growing up.
25 years since we lost Phil Hartman and so much in our world has changed! RIP, Phil. 😢💔
The world truly lost a wonderful and talented man when he died. His murder was so shocking, horrifying really, but I'm glad that YT now exists so that those who weren't alive when he was on SNL have a chance to see his comedic genius.
It is hard to imagine all the greatness we would have seen in these last 25years if he was still with us .
I've just realized that nothing ever got prepared on this show...but, the upside is--his kitchen is spotless!!
The key here is to finish cleaning the kitchen before the raw ingredients spoil. That's the trick.
I suddenly understood how I am so annoying to other people while I am in the kitchen.
I can't help but relate to a lot of what is going on here. the cut bits DO need to be uniform size ! ha
I do the cooking at home, and try and keep things 'moving along'....but my wife always wants to come in and start cleaning while I am in the middle of cooking!! She doesn't understand why I just stop, and go out and watch TV. LOL
I know I am too!
I think it’s the others who are at fault here.
@@LFSPharaoh Found the Exec. Chef.
In college, I roomed with a high school friend of mine who was JUST like this. He was a real ladies man - no kidding, he knew how to get the babes - but in our apartment, he was just like Phil Hartman’s character in this video. It was hilarious.
Excellent the way his retentiveness gently accelerates and nothing gets cooked at all!
Yes, that is the humor element of the clip.
@@Chronic_Town No.
um yeah...that's sort of the entire effing premise
It's a genius skit! LOL. Cooked ABSOLUTELY NOTHING!!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
He was my customer when I worked in Encino. Saw him two days before his death. RIP Phil.
Customer for what?
@@anti-ethniccleansing465 Yes, for what?
@@dugroz
Idk, I asked the OP! Lol.
Nice story such a sad ending
Some good old fashioned cleanser.
This episode was my introduction to SNL. My uncle recorded it on VHS and gave it my sister and me. I watched it over and over. I think In Living Color was the band for this episode. I remember being fascinated by this skit.
Living Color was the band. In Living Color was the sketch show on Fox.
Nice memory!😊
@@ryangossett8211 I hate to be anal, but I'm going to have to correct you both. It was Living Colour.
@@Dazlidorne Maybe they spelled the name of the show differently in Canada/Europe but here in the US it was spelled "In Living Color". They did not add the extra "U" to Color.
@@ryangossett8211 Wasn't talking about the show. The band was Living Colour.
I asked my husband to double bag the trash, and he said "maybe I should triple bag it" So I said "yes let's do that" and then on way out he told me to watch this video... Touché Touché...🤣
Basically, he diagnosed you.
You really can't TRULY understand this skit unless you've LIVED with this kind of OCD person. And if you have, then this skit is the most cathartic laugh you will ever have! It's spot-on.
Not at all, unless everyone here in the comments live with a person like this, it’s just funny.
3:25 The stovetop "could use a lick and a promise" ..😂😂😂....i didn't recall that
Of all that have passed through the doors of SNL Phil Hartman was the most talented diverse and creative artists on the show. He was hilarious without being over the top. Such a loss the day he died. 😢
"Brought to you by the Chubb group:
Woman in the audience: *CHUBB*
lmao sketch is off to a great start
0:08 That one audience member who found the most entertaining thing that night to be the "chubb" group.
That was so spot on for NPR.
Noticed!
LOL thank you for calling that moment out 😂
this helps me gain perspective on how counterproductive my OCD is.
This is what it means to be funny. This is straight up, hilarious, cheek and gut bustin comedy!! From open to close! The legend of Phil lives on!
And educational. I couldn't have been 11 or 12 watching this and I learned the word , refuse in the form of a noun. I love words like that. Invalid is one that springs to mind.
Saturday Night Night has lost the charm of keep it simple stupid to make it so funny…remember Land Shark and two Wild and Crazy Guys….always hoping they would recapture this old magic!
His Reagan Iran/contra and Clinton jogging/stealing fries skits are pure gold.
Someone in the crowd saying Chubb 😄
Which is almost funnier than the joke the person was reflecting on! 😁
Chubb being a sponsor of a PBS show wasn't a joke though.
Pretty sure that was Chad.
"This way it doesn't get on the other garbage...." 😵
Lololol
My mom was worse; it had to be WASHED so it wouldn't smell, and cushioned so animals getting into it wouldn't hurt themselves...
“So it doesn’t leak on to the other garbage” 😂
Haven't seen this since it was on originally, but whenever I hear someone being described as anal, or see someone being way too fussy, all I can think of is the term "Tape dispenser cozy". And I just chuckle inside. Thank you, Phil!
he's definitely a "stay-at-home dad".
I literally do the same thing! Thats hilarious you do as well. I always think of "Fold over very Carefully... this way.... it won't leak onto the other garage..." I mean he is clearly the best ever. I loved him on "The Simpsons" where he was the voice for Troy McClure 😂
I can top that. My aunt liked to knit and when her husband was in the hospital she made him a urine bag cozy.
@@pinesiskin59omg that excellent, at least you wouldn’t see the narsty urine! Good on her, I crochet too! I had a lil clock where the dog had chewed up the back plate for batteries, so I crocheted a entire casing to go around the back and sides of the lil clock then crocheted little flowers and leaves to decorate came out super cute!
@@pinesiskin59 You know, you can EDIT comments. You don't have to make a new one to correct it.
Do you see the three little dots over there to the right? >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Just click on the dots next to your comment, and you can either edit it, or delete it entirely.
His cadence is perfect in this.
Perfect!
I loved the related character Anal Retentive Home Repair Guy...he discarded a piece of pinewood that had a flaw, but he had to have all the edges straight and sanded before he wrapped it to go in the trashbin - which was obsessively organized
I used the “lick and a promise” line one day in a business meeting and the entire group cracked up!
Was HR notified? 😂
His admonition about the bell pepper pieces being the exact same size has absolutely come to fruition on the Food Network!
Equal size pieces are actually important in many recipes !
Cut the steak into 43 pieces? What kind is monster would cut a steak into an odd number of pieces?
But it is a prime number, so maybe okay?
3
Because at that number the pieces all are exactly 1/2 ounce and will cook completely in the same one hour and 10 minutes recommended cooking time. Duh! 43... yes... bad. But .5 ounce, 70 minutes. A trade off, but more desirable. Probably... I never got that far...
I would've loved to see what Phil Hartman's career would look like today, had he not been murdered. The seasons from 1988 to 1996 were my favorite. I grew from a teenager to a man in that period. My freshman year of high school to graduating from college. Those seasons are what launched the careers of many talented actors/comedians like, Dana Carvey, Rachel Dratch, Chris Farley, Will Farrell, Al Franken (last 7 seasons), Janeane Garofalo, Phil Hartman, Chris Kattan, Jon Lovitz, Norm Macdonald, Tim Meadows, Dennis Miller, Tracy Morgan, Mike Myers, Kevin Nealon, Chris Rock, Adam Sandler, Rob Schneider, David Spade, and Ben Stiller. Those are just the more recognizable names. There were even more talented less known actors as well. Even though, to this day the show has it's moments of beautiful hilariousness, the era from 88' to 96' will always have a special place in heart, and memories. In my opinion, this period will always be the best. It should be the bar for which the SNL of today, should strive to achieve.
Amazing. I’ve repeated most of what you have stated here many times to others when discussing the subject of SNL. But I also include the writers - Conan O’brien and Robert Smigel. Cheers!
You could writ those names in alphabetical order, couldn't you? Based on the last names, or maybe the first. Or in order of appearance maybe is better. Or you could put them in columns to see what looks best and then discard the other columns. Remember to put them in aluminum foil, amazing product!
@@pinkponyofprey1965 what can I say...I'm anal retentive...🤯
Same!
Jan Hooks!
The Chubb group really enlarged our experiences, and I thank them for their hard work
Phil Hartman! My all-time favorite from snl. You are missed!
He is much missed. I have the "News radio" boxed set, along with all of "Pee Wee Herman" videos. Very much appreciated finding this gem online. Thank you for posting!
There's no basement at the Alamo!! 🤣
I worked for a chef that rearranged the kitchen every night. I shouldn't have watched this. I will have the nightmares again
I did too. I was 18 and after lunch and dinner I had to wash/mop every single surface in that hotel, including the grates above the stove, cabinets, etc. All in hot water and soap. Someone else washed the dishes. It was a family-owned hotel in Europe. It was about the size of Fawlty Towers, though the kitchen was about 4x as large.
Phil Hartman and his voice are so iconic to me and my childhood!!
nobody cares about your childhood
So, sad to lose Phil Hartman, he had such talent & brought much laughter & joy. He was one in a million. R.I.P.
Physical comedy at its finest. The man said no joke, nothing that can even be interpreted as “funny”… but he sold it with all the physical beats. The tearing of the paper bag…. Killed me
That was by no means strictly physical humor. The jokes were actually very intellectual.
Physical comedy is a form of comedy focused on manipulation of the body for a humorous effect. It can include slapstick, clowning, mime, physical stunts, or making funny faces.
This was not physical comedy.
You have a very… bizarre definition of physical comedy.
Sorry I forgot you guys want someone being shot out of a canon for physical comedy to count. You think he was telling jokes and just acting… the bit where he cuts the bell peppers then puts in the paper towel, then folding it again with aluminum foil, only to then perfectly rip the brown paper bag… was PHYSICALLY DONE TO TELL THE JOKE OF HIM BEING… an anal retentive chef. I can watch this on mute and it will still crack me up.
But sorry for offending you physical comedy gestapo
@@dopeoranges9255 Is there an SNL sketch that doesn't have physical comedy?
This is called prop comedy.
Who else but this guy would cook (clean) in a french-cuffed shirt with white cuffs. And he's correct: he does have a manicure. Phil, you are missed.
He was so brilliant. It's still hard to believe we lost him in such a senseless way.
One of the most talented people I've ever seen. Too bad he wasn't great at picking a wife.
It really bothers me that he left the knife on the counter when he started cleaning.
We can only hope that he was planning on cleaning it, as it was made of entirely non-porous materials.
It bothered me too. It really messed with my Virgo mind and I kept waiting for him to remove it. Amateur. Lol
That and putting the bucket up on the counter.
We just out-anal-retentived the anal retentive chef 😂😂
I still really miss this guy. He was a part of what was, in my opinion, the second golden age of SNL.
I miss Phil Hartman. He was so funny
This is my aunt. She doesn't want the garbage can to smell so we put vegetable/fruit trimmings in plastic bags and then store them in the refrigerator. When it gets close to garbage day we take the food waste out of our refrigerator and put them into another plastic bag. We then put the double bagged waste in our garage overnight (once again it's very important to not have the garbage can smell like garbage). On the morning of garbage day, we take the garbage out of the garage and put it in the garbage can so the garbage truck can take it. This way the garbage can never smells like garbage, but of course we are storing garbage in our refrigerator for most of the week.
I keep my organic garbage in my freezer and throw it out once a week or less.
The use of so much plastic hurts my heart
All that plastic is gonna give the earth a bowel obstruction...It can't break down that stuff. Tell auntie it's okay for garbage to smell like garbage...🤣
Oh my goodness I used to throw my banana peels in a snack ziplock bag before throwing it in the garbage. I still really want to but my husband said that’s so much plastic!!
This skit. Perfection.
I can't use foil without hearing Phil saying"aluminum foil is such a miracle product "
The skit is genius. It’s just one man talking, but Phil is so talented he makes it screamingly funny.
My Dad wasn't gay but for some reason all his cooking buddies were virtual clones of the incomparable Phil Hartman.
What are cooking buddies?
@@edwardssistershands Middle-aged male gourmands in the Seventies. They worshipped at the altar of Craig Claiborne and Pierre Franey of the NY Times. And now that I think about it, I bet Phil Hartman based his character on ol' Craig.
I was so sad to hear about his death and shocked to hear it was his wife. As a teen in the early 90s, he was pretty much a comedic god to all of us teens. He didnt ever OVER-ACT and he RARELY broke character. I remember my friends and I just waiting for him to crack in his sketches but he hardly ever did. A true genius. He is still missed. So is Chris Farley. ❤
Man do I miss him, what a loss to the world. He was always awesome on the Simpson's also.
What a giant! One of the best! Always funny! So many people miss him!
The bravery of doing this skit entirely by himself is off the charts.
huh? it was for one person. what the hell are you talking about?
Very very brave.
Borderline courageous....
Teetering on the precipice of recklessness
Huh?
"bravery"?!
must be a millennial.
It's also just called stand up skit comedy.
This is what my father would be like if he turned into a chef. He was a lead engineer and designer for Fairchild Industries and helped design the famous A-10 aircraft.
At the home though, he built everything. Our old house didn't have a garage or shed, so he built a huge shed that you could fit a car inside of, but it was simply there to store our riding and push mower. When the building inspector came he asked, "So, how many stories high are you going with this house, three?" My Dad looked at him puzzled and didn't answer for a bit and then just said, "No, this is just going to be my shed."
He rebuilt the entire basement of this house. When we moved into our new home he immediately looked at the deck and said, "No, no no, this is all wrong." He forbid any of us to step onto it and tore it down and rebuilt it himself, much wider support columns reinforced with metal trusses, double the amount of support beams for the decking planks.
His tools in his garage were hung neatly on a peg board with the pegs arranged perfectly for each tool. Every drawer of his tool box was labeled. The man even made his own storage containers for nails, nuts, and bolts with little sections labeled with the size of the nail, nut, or bolt on them.
Everything in and around the house, "They should have built it this way...." Everything has to be just so. When he was teaching me how to mow the lawn it was insanely infuriating and deflating. I'd do one row on the tractor and he'd stop me immediately because I didn't do it exactly like he would, then he would proceed to mow 6 or 7 more rows to show me exactly how it should be done. I'd do another row, he'd stop me again because no matter what I did, it wasn't right or the way he'd do it, even though I am literally just driving the tractor in a straight line. Like, there's really nothing else to it. After mowing the lawn, he'd mow it two more times just in case he missed a blade of grass or even worse, a little clump of grass somewhere. It took him nearly the whole day to do something that took me maybe an hour total.
😂 Thanks for telling us all this. NOT.
@@forgottenpalace4472 Thanks for your brilliant comment. NOT.
So clever, this one.

HILARIOUS!!!!!!! PHIL YOU ARE SORELY MISSED! NO OTHER MALE TALENT ON SNL MATCHES YOU
When I was a kid I saw this when it came out. It had far more influence on me than I care to admit!
I don't know if this character was created by Phil alone but it was a really fun idea because it took a very specific personality type, someone we've all met or seen or heard about, and then put the person on his own cooking program ... a show in which nothing gets done except fussing. Comedy doesn't always need to be loud or zany, sometimes it can be a little slice of life or a character study.
Brilliant sketch
Rest in peace, legend 🙏
Phil Hartman
24 September 1948 ~
28 May 1998⚘
A classic!! My family and I still joke about this. I would put stuff into a bag before putting it in the trash when I was cooking. :D I sure miss Phil Hartman.
Phil Hartman. This is crazy funny
The bag was torn😂😂😅
Looks like we're ordering pizza again tonight...
Phil Hartman was a comedy treasure, my all time favorite cast member. Loved all his characters, impersonations and delivery. Truly one of a kind. I wish he was still with us. So sad his life was taken in such a tragic way.
Ooh Phil Hartman... how the world needs you
Phil Dana and Mike my all time SNL faves.
My guy's even got his ducks in a row behind him.
Not only are his clothes on perfectly, but even his smile is completely symmetrical, no smirk.
And I love that the knife is always right there, like he has a hidden dark side.
Every time I watch Alton Brown's "Good Eats" I think of this bit
I thought of the grill guy on PBS...he has curly hair and he is a bit much
This was so damn funny as a kid my mom and I were watching this when it played the first time we were at my aunts house visiting my uncle was a dentist in the Bay Area living in the hills on a golf course it was such a fun time to be alive and a kid Phil Hartman was such a genuine talent and he is still so special and he’ll always be in that moment of love from my childhood
This video is soothing to me and I dont know why hahaha :)
Me too .
Same here. It's like ASMR to me.
Product of living with his wife: a perfect impression
One of my all-time favorites. ARs you know who you are!
We all agree that those onions are much more than 2 inches in diameter, right? I have my ruler right beside me and I can’t help but think that those onions CANNOT be 2 inches in diameter.
At one point there was Phil Hartman and now people have To suffer through Pete Davidson.
This was a suggestion from youtube when i searched for videos today; I'm saddened my children will never know the Live/Living Phil Hartman, albeit grateful his work will forever be present when i need a pick up.
reorganizing my room as a 12 year old looked like this, I was up until midnight
Phil Hartman was the best. His demeanor and voice were iconic. RIP
I could watch this character all day
Where has this gem been hiding? Absolutely hilarious ! Phil Hartman at his best 😆👍
RIP
I remember being in 10th grade and seeing this. I tried to figure out what "anal retentive" meant, because I had never heard the term before. While I was in biology class the following Monday, I asked my biology teacher what it meant to be anal retentive. She had apparently never heard the term, either, because she looked kind of perplexed. She said, "Well, retentive means that you're retaining something." I kept on bugging her with more questions about it before she became exasperated and said, "Well, some people can't go to the bathroom, Delilah!" When I took an introductory psychology class in college a few years later, I finally learned what anal retentiveness is. 😆
So what does it mean??
@@RubyEl. Sigmund Freud theorized that there were two key stages in the early development of children: the oral stage and the anal stage. During the oral stage, babies put everything in their mouths. During the anal stage, children are toilet-trained. According to Freud, how children reacted to these stages played a crucial role in their personality development. If during toilet training, a child was messy (anal expulsive), he or she would grow into an adult who was messy and disorganized. However, if the child held the poop in too long (was anal retentive), he or she would likely grow up to be overly fastidious and possibly even obsessive compulsive.
I was in the exact same situation as you! I was also in 10th grade and did not know what Anal Retentive means. I thought it had something to do with homosexuality since some of Hartman's mannerisms were of a more effeminate individual.

Everybody always talks about Hartman but no one mentions the genius writing in this sketch. An Anal Retentive Chef show. Amazing. The chef is wearing a bowtie. Who wears a button down to cook? ... 17.3 oz of steak cut into 43 pieces. 10 Sec onto the sketch and already it's going 100 mgh
The part with the torn bag 🤣🤣🤣😝
Fold it twice so no one will see!!
Slow burn comedy is a skill. This is a masterclass.
Most comedy is based on speed, chaos, a stream of silliness.
I loved the skit!
Also, did you notice he didn't specify the measurements of the aluminum foil? 😁
He probably had a sheet pre-cut in case of emergencies.
no. why would anyone?
Such a great time to grow up and absorb this sense of humor. I was gonna say, before looking it up, I figured it might be before spade, sandler, Rob S, chris rock, Farley joined. Hartman was perfect for snl, a comedic genius, dry humor for bright people, carvey , nealon, lovitz, jan hooks, Victoria Jackson etc. Good times as a 14 15 year old 😊. I HAD to record it ! Must see. If I missed it, I got on the bus on monday to ask a girl if she happened to record on the vcr. We still reference this character
He's wearing the wedding band of the woman who murdered him. Such a sad story. RIP.
I thought the tape dispenser cozy was to keep the dust off 😂 I hate having ambient dust stuck to the edge of my tape so sometimes I set a paper or object on top of it trying to keep all the dust off lmao.
This is just a normal chef.
AGREEE!
One of my favorite actors sorry so short R I P
You’re greatly missed, Phil!
Fucking BRILLIANT. Nothing SNL has done since comes close to this.
Oh, Phil, how we miss you!
