“We didn’t want to ruin any careers, so we chose actors who didn’t have any.”🤣
Wait when did he say that, didn’t catch it!
@@Jonathan-qz9td it's not in the video
Cool
didn't destroy leo's in, django...
Was👷♀️🙄🙄🙄🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌
*THE FIRST GUY LEFT ME IN TEARS*
"Noooooooo.........don't wanna say those words"
"Are there any North parts?"
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
He just wanted to be friendly field guy 🤣🤣
😭😭😭💀💀
😂😂😂😂😂
🤣🤣🤣
the camera man dressed up like an angry black panther party enforcer made it even more hilarious!
That's Jay Pharoah
And thats just a black jean jacket.
@@decembersveryown5935 The black beret is a symbolic part of their uniform
He wasn't wearing a mask though? R.I.P Chad Boseman.
Frfr
I always figured that being a slave owner in a movie would be a really shitty way to start an acting career.
Yeah... What if you end up getting typecast that way? Huge possibility, considering it's probably not a popular part among actors. Typecast as a racist, yeah no thanks.
My boyfriend went to a HS where he was one of the few white people. In every play they performed that had a racist white character, he played the part. He was good, but people who didn't know him thought he was sus AF.
@@megerber
How's is he did he pursue acting?
It’s called acting that’s the craft! That’s what they get paid big money to do! And great actors can pull off very uncomfortable parts
That's only because people are super sensitive these days, they really don't separate the art from the artist either.
"Please don't make me do this." Classic lol
He's Sheldon even here
That's what I used to tell my baby sitter
🤣🤣🤣🤣
hahahahah
@Marcus-Aerilius Maximus don't like DT in the slightest, but there's literally no reason to ham-fist politics into someone elses comment like this. If you want to make political commentary, make your own comment.
“You have free reign.”
“I don’t feel like I do though.”
😂😂😂
Lies again? Sex Slave
The word is 'rein' not reign.
@@ShahidKhan-ke8fe thanks 🙄
As he eyeballs the camera guy. LOL LOL LOL
😂😂😂
LOL Jerome with the black beret and the intensity.
Right! He got that stare down packed!
And him pointing to his eyes 😂
Hahahah got that Black Panther uniform on
say it to the camera !
OMG!!! He was giving me ‘87 Robert Townsend “Hollywood Shuffle” nostalgic vibes 😆😆😆
Kudos to Michael Fassbender for nailing the role of slave owner and making everybody absolutely despise him !
Makes me want to burn down half of Alabama or Mississippi when I watch it.
Oh i never noticed that was Michael fassbenders early work
Dude was fire 🔥🔥
Exactly! He is one of my favorite actors and all throughout the movie I hated him but I also wanted him to protect Lupita (forgot charac name) from his Karen wife but I had to tell myself this was a movie based on a real life experience.
@@magicscoolbus3834 How about Paul Giamatti's character?
remember, the first person wanted to do "friendly guy in field" lol
That was hilarious
He was reading for Brad Pitt's part maybe?
That part and when he seen the words on the script and just decided to ball the paper up🤣🤣🤣
Friendly How?
@@danielabilez3619 watch the film…it’s terribly sad but Brad’s character was friendly
LMAO.
"Are there any North parts?"
Ashleigh Yup, one....and Brad Pitt's already got it.
😂😂😂😂😂
Ashleigh I’m crying lmao
Why North ?
Dania most of the north wanted the slaves to be free
The "y'all shootin' a movie?" part is the best!
They say it while listening to Gangsta rap in their Car, so what's the difference; still getting paid!
This is real life for actors! People think acting is an easy profession.. it's a very psychological sometimes very challenging career and this skit depicts that perfectly.
Leonardo DiCaprio in Django is one of the greatest performances ever and it doesn't get talked about much for obvious reasons... 😂
Yeah, so challenging. They get paid hundreds of thousands, to millions upon millions of dollars, to dress up and pretend. Gtfoh with that nonsense.
@@cbrreezzyy69 If it was that easy yo goofy ass would be up there making an Oscar acceptance speech next year lol.....
I think Timmy Chalamet or someone said that in order to really act you have to kill the part of your brain that feels shame.
@@dawb86 i think lego once broke down during a take. sam jackson talks about, where leo went to tarantino and was talking about how uncomfortable he was with how many n words was in the script. so sam jackson pulled him aside and told him not to worry about it. i mean jackson didn't use those words but it's a funny story.
I never realized how uncomfortable casting must have been for that movie. 🤣
Right I can imagine the actors looking at the script 😳
THIS RIGHT HERE. I. never. even. THOUGHT about it HAHA
There's nothing uncomfortable
It wouldn't get casted at all today. All the "white" actors would be black guys wearing whiteface.
@@JohnSmith-pe6wo and you know this, how?
I...I really feel my character would be looking away
that was rich man...made my day
Like a lot
a lot.
Jim legit looks so uncomfortable
We all watched the video, original comment next time please. But you can't coz you're unoriginal and will quote something in the video everyone is watching. God I hate TH-cam now
I haven’t laughed this hard in years..I never realized how crazy casting for parts like that would be. Whoever came up with this skit, a fucking Genius
Most people don't know what Steve McQueen looks like, but trust me, Kenan NAILED that impression
I saw Steve McQueen in The Magnificent Seven and he didn't look or sound like that at all!
@@cloud5buster 😂😂😂
I'd love to be in a room with him and some cast members as they watch this skit.
"Script?...Ya'll shootin' a movie or somethin?" Lol that kills me everytime.
😂🤣🤣
How much you want to bet it took a while to make this skit.
😂🤣😂... I'm so dead
@@deandremoore8451 $20..🤝
Funniest line of the skit lmao
She tried to hand him the whip.
"I don't want to be seen with that" and just dropped it, had me dying.
🤣🤣🤣
It would have been fun if he started channeling Indiana Jones.
@@timbuktu8069 Or his great-grandparents.
@@timbuktu8069 in high school I had a pretty sweet Indiana Jones costume for Halloween, complete with the bullwhip. I was running late for class and all the other kids were inside the classroom except for one… the only black kid in my class!
I was wondering why he was staring at me so intensely until I looked down and realized I had the whip in my hand just casually swinging it around. I’ll never forget the look on that kids face. I felt so bad.
@@GrizzlyTank That is what's wrong today. A lot of people have a very small lens through which they see the world.
You say whip and some people can only see slavery, not Indiana Jones, not wagon trains or stage coaches. These are the same people who get triggered by words like black board, black holes or Black Friday. As a result conversation ends. It's sad really.
I’d imagine this is what Leonardo DiCaprio has to go through when he auditioned for *Django*
nah, he's a pro, maybe his first time but after that he was good
@@poundtrader1414 Sam Jackson apparently had to take him aside and give him a speech that amounted to "Look, man... for you, this is a vile day that you'll remember and deliberate over... for us this shit's just Wednesday. Not like any of us haven't heard this shit before." That's what finally got him in the Calvin Candy zone, apparently.
I sincerely doubt there was any audition involved
I don't think that he went to a casting.
I like Leo lol I hope he found it difficult.. Hard to tell by the Amazing job he did 🤦🏾♂️.. but I hope it wasn't that easy to pull off 😄😄
Apparently Sheldon missed his bus stop and landed somewhere unknown once again . 😁
😂😂😂😂 Exactly my thoughts.
“STOP PLEASE SHES JUST A CHILD” “...she.. aint nothin’...”
Right!?
Lol
Wdym? I didn't get that part.
@@destituteanddecadent9106 he was suppose to say the N word… but said nothin because he’s not a comfortable racist like a lot of white Americans
@@BrooklynDaDon1 Ah I see thanks. Are a lot of white Americans confortable with saying the N word? I mean I haven't been around the rural areas much, and I haven't been in very white situations either (I'm Asian), but the N word seemed to be a big no-no.
"you guys have any north parts?"....i swear i lost it there and almost choked on my food........A+ man lol
best skit
right..lmfao
Then he snatched the script from the chick they want him to read lines with and says “don’t look at that..”
Too funny
2:55 😂😂😂😂
Same
I'll never forget when Trevor Noah's show talked about if Creed was called Freed, it would have won an Oscar. 😂
I’m yelling 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
@@beejay8854 I was too! 🤣 Here's the link. th-cam.com/video/EkpZTRUkFYI/w-d-xo.html
@@ericsesame6321 this was good ! I’ve seen that black guy before he’s hella funny
Creed was damn good though, I bought it bootlegged when it hit theaters and bought the DVD when it came out I liked it so much
This is honestly a pretty honest sketch. It must have been hard to force actors to act cruelly like that.
So...if you think ut must've been hard fir them to act these roles...how come that for the rest of american socuety it is assumed that they arr all bigotted racusts who have to be halted from expressing it. Why do you think a hollywood actor us any different?
@@markaplier1261 Woah there. Aren't you being a bit presumptuous? All I said that it must have been hard for the actors. That shouldn't imply anything.
@@gumballfan13 yeah, I know, and I'm not blaming you for not interpreting it how I did. I am simply making you aware of the fact that there is a double standard when it comes to assuming who is racist. I assume that you are not racist, so it is hard for you to utter these words. The question then is, do you also assume that other people find it hard to utter racial slurs (excluding actors)? Because so it seems to me, if you are only a tat representative of the attitude on racism in us society, then you would see racism everywhere in the public sphere; interpreting everything which has to do with African Americans which is not extremely positive towards them, as racist. My point is that if so, there is hypocrisy in assuming racism in others in the society, but not towards actors. as if because the people are leftists (which most of them are) and Hollywood stars changes anything about their inner believe system. Maybe I assumed too much of you, but I still am interested to know what you think about what I postulated, this double standard when it comes to who is assumed to be racist and who is not.
“Sure everyone can do a southern accent, HOW YA’LL DOING TODAY WOULD YOU LIKE A A WHAAFFLE?!”
Lmao 😂 gets me every time
😂😂😂😂
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Lmao me too 🧇
Omg yessss🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Definitely a Waffle House reference
First dude kills me! Noooooooo.........don't wanna say those words.
Cali Livin damn 1k likes and no replies
You ruined it
Cali Livin HOLLERING lmao
Cali Livin I would say those lines of that meant I got a decent part in the movie
"You have any north parts?"
He said “Do you have any North parts?” Lol
Bobby Moynihan’s part absolutely killed me. I did not see that coming at all. 🤣
a...a........WHAFFLE????????
that will never fail to make me lose my shit entirely
i bust out laughing for that one
Same
As a southerner, almost no one gets our accents correct...but that shit was spot on!
I just came to like this comment but it looks like I did that the last time I was here.
😆 he sounded exactly like Jeff foxworthy.
I'm dead. "What y'all shooting a movie?"
It should have been longer I think
Haha
Gummie Worms it is. There’s a video where they show all the outtakes from Terry. Best 3 minutes of SNL in a long time. Think they deleted it
@@nick-dq1hh yeah i think they did too. Was looking for it but considering the political climate in the US, I could see it being removed for sure 😄
Why did you die??? It was funny!!!
That "Southern" accent!😂😂😂
Sounds even funnier to Southerners who can laugh at themselves through those who hear us like this.🤣🤣🤣🤣
😂😂😂"You ain't nothing but a dog, you hear me boy"😂😂😂 That was really funny.
"Keep your eye on that camera" 😂😂😂
I thought the camera would reveal an actual dog because that would've been the only way to get him to say that.
Most stressful casting call ever!
The camera mans face, That had me in stitches. LOL
You ever seen Roots? The first one.
I’m sure I could rustle up some good ol boys who would love a free N-word pass. If anything just so they could sing the lyrics to their favorite songs 🤷🏼♂️
They say it while listening to Gangsta rap in their Car, so what's the difference; still getting paid!
This was hilarious! Jay Pharaoh's face! 😂😂
Mia Dowd XDDD I couldn't stop cracking up!
Mia Dowd 666th like! 👺👹
Mia Dowd yes the i wish you would look
@The Bloodbender Yes girl. Haha
Your cute little baby face.
This skit always causes me to become breathless from laughing!!!
If only Clayton Bigsby could’ve auditioned
YT PAHR
I think Uncle Ruckus would've been good in that movie too.
😅😅😭😭👍
@@battle-techs 😅😅😭
Oh shit......I laughed at this.......Clayton would played the part for free.... lol
"A script? You guys shooting a movie or somethin'?"
BWAHAHA! And they say the new SNL sucks.
barbaro267 some of the live sketches aren't funny but their digital stuff is always good.
barbaro267 h
One laugh every 3 minutes.
Robert Beauregard Blanchette < Progress sucks, doesn't it? Now get back to your horse cart, whale-oil lamps and "conservative" humor.
Funny af that part was boooy
3:44 snot just came out of my nose as soon as he said "hwaffle"
never been a massive moynihan fan, but when he's good, he's fuckin good
yzzi gross
omgoodness he was the best jfc!!! lollll
yzzi he reminded me of danny McBride
yzzi SAME
Terry was actually just being himself talking to the camera man…he wasn’t acting🤣
The audience was too shooketh to laugh. 😂 Hilarious.
Bobby Moynihan seriously should have won an Emmy while he was on SNL, he was so underrated.
Underrated comment too
Damn straight the waffle bit had my dying
A whaffle. 🧇🧇
TOTALLY AGREE!!! Drunk uncle is, MASTERPIECE!!
*WOULD YOU LIKE A... A HWAFFLE???*
Haha I love the look on the camera dudes face when they tell him to look at Jerome
Me too😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 I almost chocked on water
I havent recovered 😂😂😂😂
🤣🤣🤣 The camera man part with Jim Parsons was too much.
This just cures depression. When laughter just unites us all.. instead of being so serious or sad all the time. I never even thought about how awkward it must've felt auditing for this movie --which I've never seen-- but that's why they're actors ya'all! But this skit just makes us laugh out loud together haha
There's SO many TH-cam commenters who would gladly play the part of a slave owner for free.
Sofia Hernandes they could just pay to be a slave owner in real life
If only they could have done it as a voiceover or used an avatar to block their faces so they won't get jumped in highschool or by their moms black boyfriend.
Earl Lemongrab I think a lot of those yt commenters would also be into method acting 🤔
Leo Scarpoli Well it isn’t real so that would be a strange reason to assault someone. Which would also serve to back up negative and untrue stereotypes really.
Nah most of them wouldn't want to actually be seen in person talking like that lol
That straight eye contact with Jerome 😂😂😂
WOOOOW. How do you know his name is "Jerome" Mr racist pants?
@@kalobpowers9907 they very clearly call him jerome
I laughed so hard at that part I was crying 😂😂😂😂😂😂
“ I don’t want to be seen with that” Lol 😂
Why is it we can acknowledge the realism of situations (race relations) when in a comedic setting yet will not seriously acknowledge that same realism (racism, prejudice) otherwise?
That's one of the functions of comedy, good comedy enables people to say/confront things they'd never say otherwise. Think of All in the Family... purposely intended to get us all talking about race.
While I think D DiGiorgio made a good point, I'd also like to add that SNL has a largely liberal (meaning anyone left of center) audience, the same demographic which has been more willing to acknowledge these things. There aren't as many conservatives watching this, and maybe they wouldn't be laughing as much.
@@ddigiorgio8438
Thats a good (and very true) point. The only problem is, that approach to topics like racism tends to remain in comedy and rarely spills over into real life. So its like we can talk about it as long as humour takes the real sting out. But when its time to discuss 'the sting', its a problem to talk about.
Excellent question. Comedy is often like philosophy. It interprets and reflects life back to us, and often points out what is absurd. This is what makes us laugh. Here, the absurdity is having a white person of today saying the horrible words that historically were spoken so easily.
"Plz don't make me do this" I couldn't stop laughing afterwards
2:57 “she’s nothing but a...*folds paper* LMFAOOOOO
3:48 🤣 AUDIENCE felt uncomfortable applauding lolol
I love it that they guy came into the audition, not knowing it was an audition! 😂
*looks at script* Nooo! Don't.. want... to..say...those.. words. Hahahaha
Who is the actor by the way? He and the plaid shirt.
That Southern accent though.
The eye contact with Jerome - that Jim Parsons is brilliant at portraying subtle racism.
"A script? You guys shooting a movie or something " 🤣🤣
The “I don’t feel like I do though…” fucking rocked.
I find this really ironic since Taran Killiam played one of the guys who captures Soloman.
+Lauren Conrad I wonder why they didn't have him in the short.
+mogden42 maybe that's why
2:15 Sheldon lol
YES LAD
The cameraman’s beret makes it!
Right?! Lol dressed up like a Black Panthers leader 😂
A whaffle…😂😂😂
"You didn't even need the script.
Script? What are you? Shooting a movie or something?
The cleaning guy did the best job
"I feel like this character would be looking away... a lot"
noooo ... dont wanna say these words ..
Mike O´Brien was such a good member of the cast he was very funny with what they let him do, sad that he is no longer on the show.
You guys have any North parts?
😂😂😂
1:08
"She's nuuuhhh...." I still die everytime 🤣🤣🤣
I swear I saw this as it happened
😂😂😂😂
“Keep an eye on that camera.” Still kills me! 😂🤣
🤣🤣🤣
😂😂😂
"Script?" Hahaha funniest piece besides the stare down by the camera guy
"keep your eyes on camera btw" XDDDD
Would've been funny to see Taran Killam in there.. Since.. Y'know, he was IN the movie.
He was in twelve years a slave??
Shut up
yeah he was
He was one of the 2 guys who abducted and sold the protagonist.
Ohhh shit, didn't even catch that at first. Knew he looked familiar tho
lol... "do you guys have any north parts?"
bishop420able LOL
Bobby is so good! I miss him 😢
"Please don't make me do this." 🤣🤣
I don't want to be seen with that. LOL
HighSpeedNoDrag “jumps back”
You know, I'm not usually a fan of SNL's newer stuff, but this sketch was spot on. Actually tackled a relevant social issue in a hilarious way. Good on you, SNL!
Also, Whaffle?
Michael Weldon oh keep digging. The new cast is actually one of the best ensembles in awhile, just took them a bit to get going. They’ve already got a ton of classic sketches now. Anything with Kyle Mooney, Beck Bennett or Kate Mackinnon.
@@Bruceybaby2009 Cecily is real good too! And easy on the eyes..😍
I think current SNL always looks worse because you look back and only remember the better bits. If you actually watch whole episodes of whatever you consider peak SNL, there's lots of crap in there too.
@@jaywinner328 Now everything is a stupid woke joke.
@@franknuzzo2576 I mean...not really? The whole concept of something being "woke" is just an individual self-reporting that they can't handle anything to do with, y'know, how society works - in that it's always moving forward. Go back 50 years and the shit you wouldn't find acceptable then is what you would call "woke" today. So, no, you don't have any problems with anything that is "woke," what you have a problem with is not being able to say the insensitive, bully-shit you want to say that's never been acceptable. It just now has a label, so you can easily thrown that label around and pretend as if society is on some SJW kick.
Which none of said "woke" or other BS is true. It's just in your head.
Troy didn't need a script!🤣
I have always wondered how these actors can do these parts! I couldn't, I just can't. I'm sure many people can't. This was so good too:)
i think it's much easier for a well established actor then a upcoming actor
Is any one going to talk about how great Kennan is
He’s pretty bad
His English accent is really good. Normally you get a shit Dick Van Dyke cockney accent or a generic posh Hugh Grant, which are the only two accents in England according to American actors. Keenan was great.
@@bansheeofinisheerin he's one of the best ever
Kenan kills it in every sketch he does.
Keenan's always a champ! As a Brit I was honestly impressed by his accent too, not perfect but waaaay better than most.
lol "If I was you I'd keep an on that camera"
You butchered that quote...
@@juliiouus96 piss off trash
@@jsm530 Calm your tits
Best line in the skit.
Lmao
First guy was awesome! Aww! 😂🤣
I love how he protected her taking the script from her....then crumpled it up later. 🤣
This was hilarious!! It shows how people can be so uncomfortable with racism and actually have respect for all human beings..I dont think Keenan has ever done a non- believable character, dude is so good!!
Ur white aren’t u lmao
@@maybellemasone8018 yes i am!!! Youre quite obsevant!!

@@maybellemasone8018 im guessing you didnt find it funny?! Oh well...everyone is different, have a great day!!
Eh, you're kinda reaching with the respect for all human beings part. Not wanting to say taboo words doesn't mean you don't harbor any biases or anything.

12 Years Auditions: Nervous actors audition for the controversial film, 12 Years a Slave. #SNL #SaturdayNightLive
Fantastic movie
Excellent comedy!
Very good movie real
i 3> snl
This was great. I love how SNL isn't afraid to make fun of hot button issues. Keep it up
Kenan, I don't know why but he was just amazing. this was tooooo funny
sameri tarrer he channeled McQueen very well
"hwould you like a... a hwAffle!?!?"
Dead.
😂 Jay's steel eyed glare as he pointed to his eyeline 🤣
2:47 dude would not touch that whip. I'm dying 😭
Jim Parsons always does Sheldon's personality. Type Cast. AMAZING
"I don't wanna be seen with that" lol
Kenan as Steve McQueen made me lmao!
*Kenan
Disappointed that Taran Killam wasn't in this sketch, since he was actually in the film.
Wait, really?
+kittypie Yes, he was.
I know, right? But maybe that's the reason. A comedian would be glad to have a serious role, so it's understandable that once Taran got a chance like that he didn't want to spoof it.
MRVEGAS oh my, who did he play?
One of the two seemingly nice gentlemen who trick Solomon into slavery.
that take on Jerome and camera part made me laugh
Ironically this was some of Kenan best acting. he usually just makes the same faces and voices with a different wig.
Only Leo could play Calvin Candie in Django Unchained and still be beloved.
SNL is too hilarious with this one and the mechanic.
heyyy how are youu hows it been with you over there in cleveland
*bug eyed*
I've never even considered how insanely difficult a role it would be to be an slave owning racist.
*shudders*
marlon patrick wtf....
Josephine Thornton its not for seasoned actors
+Random Person
There's no wtf about that. Don't be such a stereotypical American.
If I had to be an actor and play the role, I'd do the same.
I cosplay Bellatrix, but feel uncomfortable being the 'nympho' crazy violent screamer she is.
So when I cosplay her, she's condescending, disses people and makes sharp remarks about others.
And every so often, curses a few swears around and calls people stupid bitches and then I continue my day.
Sometimes people want to do dramatic potter photoshoots, where (it looks like) we choke each other or commit a murder to Dobby/Sirius. But I feel uncomfortable with that.
So the condescending part does fit me. But I wouldn't be able to fake-hurt someone, or I'd réally have to hate them in real life.
I couldn’t do it, I could be any type of villain just not a slave owner
In general when playing villains you have to realize you're playing a tole and character and you're going to have to say horrible things for the camera in-character as part of the performance to sell the art.
I recall a story about Dejango Unchained where Leonardo DeCaprio was uncomfortable with a lot of the racial-slur filled dialog and Samuel L Jackson took him aside and told him "we're both adults acting in a movie and you're playing the bad guy, just deliver the dialog and stop screwing around"
