Whoever backed the loser of the match would have their head shaved. It's funny that the bald wrestler was the one who won and Donald Trump backed that wrestler. Poor Vince! A bit ironic. 🤣

@Tripleblade 82 That's partially true: Two of the three creators of the band are deceased, one from AIDS in 1991, one of natural causes last year--but neither were performing members. The original "leatherman", Glenn Hughes, died of lung cancer in 2001. The rest of the original members are still alive, and the band is still performing--but the lineup has changed several times over the years: The third creator, Victor Willis (the "Cop"), owns the rights to the name "Village People"--and he can basically go on stage with any four costumed backup singers and they're *legally* The Village People 😂 (Btw: Alex Briley and Randy Jones--the original "Cowboy" and "Soldier"--are both still alive)
how could you not know that you didn't need this? I've been waiting 3 and 3/4 years for the perfect comeback to Trump and tonight that wait is finally over lol
But yet the only gay man there didn't seem to have any rhythm, lol. Mikey Day seemed sexier and more into the dancing. BTW, I have Bowen's outfit somewhere in my house, lol.

he did pay for the rights to use the song. can't have it both ways, you can't profit off selling the rights but then pick and choose who gets to use it.
I can only imagine the fun they must have had writing and rehearsing for this skit. Emmy award written all over it. Do the real Village People get a chance to reply?
It is true when you sing the words, the braIn remembers it info better. Thanks, now we understand why mr.D. ump is wrong 🎼 All the time &he is oh such a slime 🎶
This was the best skit on SNL in a long time. Village People should be on every week! These guys are at least as good as the "real" Village People, especially Kenan and Beck(yum! Dude, shake it but don't break it!), and the lyrics are great!
also --- as if one of their "characters" was a "gay man" - that was the funniest concept! Insofar as gay or note, from the original, two of the members were gay, and as the members changed over the years, it was always a mixture - it was never a forum for exclusively gay or straight or bi guys; you could be whatever, as long as you believed in the message.
I've already rewatched this like 3 or 4 times and I just CAN´T. STOP. STARING. at Mikey with those hip movements and in THAT cowboy outfit OMG. I mean, you can tell they're all living their best life, but seriously tho... MIKEY
Russia, Iran, the taliban, ISIS, al Qaeda, Turkey, China, and all other U.S. enemies want and support Trump to win. Because these countries know that Trump is fighting against U.S. interests. These countries know all too well that Trump is hurting the United States. If Trump remains at the head of the United States for another 4 years, this will be a big collapse for the United States. Be sure to vote for the United States.
They normally write their own scripts and it has to be approved. If their skits aren't funny they rarely see any screen time unless another cast mate helps out
Im willing to bet Keenan wrote a lot of it. Colin is one of the head writers for the show, and he seemed genuinely surprised by some of the lyrics, so i think it got pitched but the content wasnt fully disclosed
Irony! And here we are, nearly 5 years later, the New Young Republicans and MAGA Movement Own this Song! We even have a Trump Boogie Dance dedicated to it! Thank You Village People! (November 15th, 2024)
Does DCMA apply to actual events though... while I ageee it’s gonna sound better, it’s like Katy Perry sending a DMCA to a high school for using Firework during graduation
@@Its.Me.Wynter it also makes a difference that their song is being used in a political context (at a political event). As creators, and therefore owners, of the song, they have every right (free speech) to demand that their work/creation not be publicly used in a political context they don’t agree with. It’s at the artists’ discretion.
This was too funny. They will have to expand on this. A Trump musical (farce) will have to do Broadway or Carnegie Hall. It would be a sellout with proceeds going to get caged immigrant children back to their fams.??
Not only have I been returning to this gem at LEAST once a night for nearly 2 months, but I have also been re-reading the comments, many of which give me almost as much pleasure as the performers themselves. Damn, the hips on that Beck! But Alex's grand jete startled me the most and made me laugh the hardest -- and STILL makes me guffaw.
i’m pretty sure they didn’t tell colin and michael the lyrics until air, His reaction “WAIT WHAT YOU CANT JUST SAY THAT” seems to genuine the way he’s laughing similar to when he reads jokes on Joke Swap at the end of the year. it’s so funny

Me too. As a matter of fact,...SEVERAL TIMES, !!!
Me too laughing all dam day
I saved it and plan on watching it many more times.
I want to say 13 but i lost count
It's funny as hell.
Keenan for President. I’m dying for a “What’s up with that” skit.
talking bout dying.......
The “what’s up with that” skits are even funnier once you notice Jason Sudeikis dancing 😂
Yessa
I only got two ribs left from laughing,
(Stop it) you're killing me, lol.
With Bill Hader of course
he did pay for the rights to use the song. can't have it both ways, you can't profit off selling the rights but then pick and choose who gets to use it.
Anyone else distracted by how good Bowen looks as a leather daddy? Yowza!
😍
Costume department probably didn’t even help...he was READY for this moment! 😂
@@karissakline6765 I'm assuming he went all "No need. I have the costume ready to go at home."
@@karissakline6765 They just raided Bowen's closet for all the costumes...
Frankie say Relax
I can only imagine the fun they must have had writing and rehearsing for this skit. Emmy award written all over it. Do the real Village People get a chance to reply?
The VP posted it on their Facebook page.
@@janetownley No, I mean the Village People!! (yeah they're still around)!
@@janetownley Thought they were talking about Kamala.👍
Unlike the orange guy, SNL probably paid royalties 😎
Uh no. Parody is open use.....
Kenan Thompson, Mikey Day, Beck Bennett, Chris Redd, Bowen Yang and Alex Moffat. You guys are my favorite members on SNL since the 90's Guys of SNL.
Same
Which cast member is the construction worker?
@@VictorianDad You mean, Beck Bennett!
@@VictorianDad beck bennet
Since the 70s! I was there! :))))
The only "bad" thing about this is the amount of times one must watch it😂😮
Gotta watch this five times to watch each of the Village People
And one more to watch Che react to it.
Actually, seven times. I had to watch Colin and Che too
Gotta watch this five times to watch Mikey Day each time.
I never knew I needed to see Mikey Day in a cowboy outfit and his hips moving like that but well, here we are
He's experienced. th-cam.com/video/EuDRe0hgC4gj/w-d-xo.html You're welcome.
Like Matthew McConaughey vibes right??
Is he that tall? I didn’t recognize him
I thought he was the cowboy and Beck was the construction worker
@@RaymondHng You’ve the real MVP 👏💯🔥
I can’t stop myself I have probably seen this 100 times already love it
Same. So Funny. Can't stop laughing out loud.
Same here. Soooo funny!
Me too
@@mountcomfort740 Me three
Samesies :)
I find it funny watching Colin’s and Michael’s reaction in the background
Michael Che's reaction when Keenan says "Epstein" is priceless
I was thinking that too. He and Colin seemed genuinely surprised at the lyrics.
Idk I think Colin had something to do with this but Che!
@@leahm1883 You're right - I should have just said Che! Colin clearly knew what was going to happen.
1:16
It is true when you sing the words, the braIn remembers it info better. Thanks, now we understand why mr.D. ump is wrong 🎼 All the time &he is oh such a slime 🎶
Beck was really into this bit. He was 🕺🏿🕺🏿dancing his ass off as the construction worker 😂😂
did anyone notice che copying trumps “dance moves” at the end lmaoooo
lmaooo I watched this five times but never noticed lol
I watched che the whole video LOL
@@xino_z Another funny one : On SNL Gonna do it on my twin bed They are supposed to be the pussycat dolls.Think you can google it
Yeah. And he kinda failed at looking as ridiculous as Trump!
I didn't notice it till you mentioned it.
2024 and this still does not get old!
This was the best skit on SNL in a long time. Village People should be on every week! These guys are at least as good as the "real" Village People, especially Kenan and Beck(yum! Dude, shake it but don't break it!), and the lyrics are great!
yes. it was so good, I want to see more every week lol but my mom was fan girling over his hips lmaoo we watched this video like twenty times
"The gay man" as if only one of the village people are gay
Actually...
Are they all really gay? Always heared jokes. Didn't know If it was true
@@ishmaelm1932 they're definitely all coded as gay. Who knows if the actual people were
also --- as if one of their "characters" was a "gay man" - that was the funniest concept!
Insofar as gay or note, from the original, two of the members were gay, and as the members changed over the years, it was always a mixture - it was never a forum for exclusively gay or straight or bi guys; you could be whatever, as long as you believed in the message.
@@ishmaelm1932 Not all of them.The lead singer for example wasn't
4 years later, the dance goes on and is more popular than ever!
I've already rewatched this like 3 or 4 times and I just CAN´T. STOP. STARING. at Mikey with those hip movements and in THAT cowboy outfit OMG. I mean, you can tell they're all living their best life, but seriously tho... MIKEY
Glad to know I'm not the only one.
Yang's the one catching my eye... But everyone is really putting it out there. I love this, it's going into one of my playlists for sure!
Mikey knows how to work it: th-cam.com/video/EuDRe0hgC4g/w-d-xo.html
Stop it. Yeah I'm talkin' to you!!!!🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@Scipio488 That should be an _SNL_ sketch.
"She'll look like Jean-Luc Picard" lmao
Don't insult Starfleet Capt. Picard. 👾 She will always have hair...like her daddy.
engage
She’ll look more like Heather at the end of season one of Total Drama
katie McCaneney: "Everything president trump says is true"
SNL "everything we put in a song is true...your move!"
Every oz of this lyrics on target
They forgot that Alan Dershowitz was Jeffery Epstein lawyer and went to his island.
Russia, Iran, the taliban, ISIS, al Qaeda, Turkey, China, and all other U.S. enemies want and support Trump to win. Because these countries know that Trump is fighting against U.S. interests. These countries know all too well that Trump is hurting the United States. If Trump remains at the head of the United States for another 4 years, this will be a big collapse for the United States. Be sure to vote for the United States.

Calm down, Spike...🙄
🚂 #TRUMP2020 🇺🇸💨
And he's still using this in 2024.
😁😁😁🍟🍟🍟
All for one line, too.
Trump actually think he dances like a young man.
This rest of us know grandpa dancing, when we see it.
This will be my all-time favorite scene, they took this song to another level can't stop watching it.
Oh yeah for sure.
While the whole thing is hilarious, I think my favorite part is "I promise you we will shave Ivanka's head"
@@MissGinaP oh yeah for sure.
We are timelessly enjoying this scene and artistry too, dear Kwolf43.
Who ever wrote this parody needs a raise ASAP 😂😂
Agreed
They normally write their own scripts and it has to be approved. If their skits aren't funny they rarely see any screen time unless another cast mate helps out
Im willing to bet Keenan wrote a lot of it. Colin is one of the head writers for the show, and he seemed genuinely surprised by some of the lyrics, so i think it got pitched but the content wasnt fully disclosed
Is anybody else just living for Mikey Day grinding as a cowboy
No shit! His belt buckle acts like it's got a motor of it's own! Check out his gaze into the camera as they all leave....he is giving you the EYE!
Most hysterical
As if I didn't have enough of a crush on cowboys already. My boyfriend started wearing a cowboy hat once he saw what it did for me.
Mikey is feeling himself
Absolutely!!! This is literally the best male cast members in a long time!
Irony! And here we are, nearly 5 years later, the New Young Republicans and MAGA Movement Own this Song! We even have a Trump Boogie Dance dedicated to it! Thank You Village People! (November 15th, 2024)
2:04 lol
Contruction rips off shirt
Woman in crowd: Woooo...
reveals MAGA shirt
Woman in crowd goes silent
They should've mentioned that the most gayest song about going to the gym is played at rallies for the most straightest guy who never exercises.
Irony of life
Hahaha I'm dead
Anybody that likes getting his ass licked as much as the Dear Leader is not straight.
What about the fact that he's not a "young man"?
@@arianaklassen-glanzer3091 Or that he can’t dance
why wasn't it "he's gonna send you a DMCA"???? missed a big opportunity there
I was expecting that.
I'd bet they came up with that but thought the average viewer wouldn't know what that is
Does DCMA apply to actual events though... while I ageee it’s gonna sound better, it’s like Katy Perry sending a DMCA to a high school for using Firework during graduation
That's only for online content. Holding public events in the real world is just old school copyright violation, and you're sending a demand letter
@@Its.Me.Wynter it also makes a difference that their song is being used in a political context (at a political event). As creators, and therefore owners, of the song, they have every right (free speech) to demand that their work/creation not be publicly used in a political context they don’t agree with. It’s at the artists’ discretion.
This will become CLASSIC! I can’t stop laughing and loving! FANTASTIC! ❤😂
Trump 'dancing' to a gay anthem, being cheered on by maga. Made me laugh almost as much as this sketch 😂
Now if only "Weird" Al would allow the Trump campaign to use "Dare to be Stupid". ;)
Whomever in his group chooses the songs must understand irony.
@@Lumibear. Trump's Corollary to Hanlon's Razor: "Never attribute to irony that which can be explained by cluelessness".
He uses "Macho Man" too--just as funny.
@Rene Estevez Oh, there are clips out there of him dancing to that one, too.
this is what I would imagine "Trump: The Musical" too look like
What is sad they will do it. It will be the Downfall of the 2040's.
Ivanka Trump prison soap waiting for ya!!!😆
This was too funny. They will have to expand on this. A Trump musical (farce) will have to do Broadway or Carnegie Hall. It would be a sellout with proceeds going to get caged immigrant children back to their fams.??
Has it been written yet?
@ No. But I'm happy to think about it all.
When you think it's gonna be a 5 second thing....and then they bust out into a song that ends with "shave Ivanka's head." 😅😂🤣
@Maureen Davis you must have been asleep the last 4 yrs, Ivanka is as complicit as it gets
@Maureen Davis equal rights equal fights
@Maureen Davis Ivanka has earned every bit of hatred she gets.
😂😂😂😂😂😂
I think Ivanka could totally rock a chrome dome.
DMCA would have fit the song way better lol
This musical number deserves a Tony and a Grammy. I've spoken.
This is the way.
For real real!👍🎹♥️
Not only have I been returning to this gem at LEAST once a night for nearly 2 months, but I have also been re-reading the comments, many of which give me almost as much pleasure as the performers themselves. Damn, the hips on that Beck! But Alex's grand jete startled me the most and made me laugh the hardest -- and STILL makes me guffaw.
Dershowitz's grand jeté would've made Rahm Emanuel jelly.
Lol
And plie!
I know some new words.
@@leoremon7385 I wouldn't have known 'grand jeté' but for my dear daughter's dance background... ; )
I can't stop watching this. The best snl skit ever!
Mikey Day WAS The Cowboy.💙
i’m pretty sure they didn’t tell colin and michael the lyrics until air, His reaction “WAIT WHAT YOU CANT JUST SAY THAT” seems to genuine the way he’s laughing similar to when he reads jokes on Joke Swap at the end of the year. it’s so funny
It was all scripted; it was very smooth,
@@leep2969 it’s so hard to tell cuz colins reaction is the same as when he reads the joke swaps haha
The way he’s laughing by the shave ivanka’s head part says he defientely wasn’t told until they sung it on air.
@@Megz1794 exactly
@@SuperUnknownPerson ik right I love his reaction the whole time espeically with kenan saying anything is legal as long as it’s put into a song.
Watching Che in the background dying while Jost was timing his cues. This made my day
Especially by the cease and desist part and the other parts as well he is laughing dying lol
I think My jaw became dislodged from laughing 😂 help! I've have fallen and cannot get up
Imagine being so unpopular worldwide that you can't get anyone to let you use their music.
