@@oiyecant720 I'll explain the joke to you. You see, the high school "cool guy," portrayed by Shane Gillis, didn't realize how immensely successful Forrest Gump had been in his life after high school. He asked, in an incredulous fashion, "Forrest? What's he been up to?" The response, "Actually, a lot," was funny, if you're familiar with the fictional character, Forrest Gump. Forrest had acomplished a tremendous amount after high school, beyond most folks' dreams, therefore the joke lands perfectly.
I wish I could be that easily amused. Not a knock, but a positive. His stand up makes me laugh. But these skits did very little for me. Still cool seeing him on snl
A mix between Hank Hill and Bill Dauterive, though he also looks like a one-shot character that does something to annoy Hank (you know, like influencing Bobby or working with Hank at Strickland Propane) only to be humiliated in the end.
@@tjn7608 yeah he also received the Purple Heart because he was shot in the buttocks, but the congressional metal of honor is the highest honor any military member can receive.

What on earth would have made this sketch particularly relevant in 2012? 😂😂 Forrest Gump came out in 1994, what does it matter, it's a sketch about a classic film, there's no time limit on it
Shane Gillis is a stand up guy. He got fired from snl before he ever got a scene because some busy body media type got upitty on a dumb joke about Asians he made. And still decides to host when he currently shooting up like a comedian rocket.
They need to bring real comedians onto the show. Did they replace the usual liberal woke writers because those episode was actually funny without resorting to Alec Baldwin as Trump. Was funny the first couple of times. How about lampooning Biden for once. Or are we too afraid to?
@@NattyNickDxB So accuracy to source material only matters when the source material is real life? Nobody claimed it was real, mudge002able just pointed out that the character got another award for his service in the movie. Most people don't require reminders to distinguish between fiction and reality, but glad to know you think it's an accomplishment when you manage to pull it off!
When SGT Forrest Gump receives his LOD (Letter of Discharge), he is only wearing five ribbons - Purple Heart, Army Good Conduct Medal, National Defense Service Medal, Vietnam Service Medal, and the Republic of Vietnam Medal, but is missing the ribbon device for the Medal of Honor for which he was awarded by President. He was injured in Vietnam in the film so he got a Purple Heart.
It really isn't. Doing drugs is dumb as hell. Yes, let me consume a line of dirty chemicals that more than likely are packed with sawdust and flour because drug traffickers never sell them pure, for profits. Let me consume a product that is bathed in the blood of innocents. Dumb.
there was agh article on msn someone who seen these ahead of time and said theres not one funny thing in his scences !! ive laughed like 10 times already lol
Kind of on topic: Robert Englund, while taking a break during the shooting of Dokken's Dream Warriors, once served the band coke - in full Freddy makeup and glove - with his blade fingers....that's the most amazing coke story I've ever heard that didn't end in tragedy.
@@jonnynaceJenny was still alive when she met Lt. Dan with his new legs. So they kinda fucked up the timeline in their skit but it’s not a big deal lol
I can. SNL is scared to death of actually funny comics so they needed a few years to the backlash simmer down after firing Shane a whole one day after they hired him.
Do you mean snl finally admitted that it's okay to be racist towards Asians and everyone as long as its for comedy purposes, or alternatively they finally realized that nobody is watching their unfunny show, so they had to get a real comedian to spice it up???? Honest question here I'm just sort of offended that shane did a skit starring an r worded person and never said the r word once. We all know he wanted to so bad. Not that there's anything wrong with that. Maybe they will stop depending on hating the orange man and pretending 60 % of our country is " maga extremist white nationalist" or whatever garbage they make up.
Omg. This skit started out slow but catered to its audience as soon as they started all the references lol. I knew Lieutenant Dan was going to be brought up, but that was the best way to do it lol
The 1985 Costume Props is totally ON POINT! Including the 90’s movie referencing all the big moments of the GenX Boomer Parents- it’s nice to see SNL not just for “ZeeBee”’s & the twinkle parade kids of today’s SM. 🎉❤🎉

Now that is a great skit. Really funny characters, situation well developed, nice impression, clever punchline. Best of all, made me laugh. Nice to see from SNL who went a long stretch of lazy writing and inability to develop a premise into a story line. Keep up the great work.
