People who seek this skit are my kind of people. Phil Hartman is sorely missed.
The best.
Agreed. Criminally underrated master. Any time I watched SNL back in the day and I saw Phil; I knew I was going to laugh my ass off. What a tragic end to a brilliant comedian.
it's a perfect bit. right up there with massive head wound harry.
KEvron
He was a gem.
Can I call you?
I can't get over how funny it is, seeing this articulate caveman, calmly explaining how confused and feral he is
"Your horns and traffic make me want to jump out of my BMW and run to the hills, or whatever."
@@jeffwells641 the "or whatever" part gets me--
That's what a good lawyer will do...
@@wildman2012 modern day lawyer, in a court, calmly and professionally explaining how he doesn't know what's going on
If I was the other lawyer I say I object your honor.. this had nothing to do with the case at hand!
Lol. I love how he has only been thawed out for 3 years and somehow already has a wife with 2 kids that are about 6-10 years old.
Hes a good guy and married a widow.
@@DONKEYKONG260 The kids are Cro-Magnon like him
@@Abr022575 lol true forget I said anything
There was another caveman who was thawed out before him. The wife has a type. 🤔😃
AND WENT TO LAW SCHOOL AND EARNED HIS J.D IN ONLY THREE YEARS.
I say “your world frightens and confuses me” at least once a month. I saw this skit the first time maybe 18 years ago and it’s stuck with me ever since. Hartman was a true genius.
So do I. That, and “one thing I do know is this…”
It's a line from better times..when it was a fantastic joke. Now, it's just reality
Lmao me too
I love when people quote funny things I do it all the time unfortunately, it doesn't make everyone laugh but I don't care
I do too!
My wife and I fell in love with each other after discovering our mutual love of Phil Hartman. Later, having gotten a divorce, I can't help but wonder if that may have been a poor foundation for a marriage.
☠️
Nah, it musta been something else
Hope you had a great Caveman Lawyer!
You got out of marriage better than Phil
Thats the bedrock of a great marriage..must have been something else…
The little mannerisms Phil Hartmann would do (checking the watch before giving his closings statement) kill me, such a genius.
Or being self-absorbed and making a phone call during the verdict and his indifference toward the judge.
I think he was drawing attention to the fact that it was a gold Rolex-type watch. That caveman had it going on! (Plus, the caveman angle was the best advertising campaign Geico ever had;)
jose four And it became a show and canceled. I wish they brought it back
I was just noticing that right before I saw your comment. I was thinking how that actually comes off as something that would normally happen in real life. That little touch of realism that most folks don't really think about. Most actors would've easily gone into their lines without including that little touch.
His stage work with the Groundlings helped him develop his timing, acting 🎭. Hartman was excellent.
No tricks, no gimmicks, no surprises - they tell you right up front that the skit is going to be about an unfrozen caveman lawyer, and that's what they give you. After that, it relies entirely on the skit and the acting. And the fact that it's still hilarious is a credit to the excellent writing and the incredible star that Phil Hartman was. This skit is classic and still cracks me up.
This
There is a twist in this sketch though. You go into it expecting the common tropes - a grunting brute speaking broken English - but instead you get a man who is not only able to function in society and speak like a normal person but to also exploit the misconception about his people to advance his career.
"Even a primitive caveman like me knows that my client is entitled to no less than $4,000,000 in damages."
Annoyed me that the audience didn't get the main joke behind it.
@@LegendLength I guess the sketch must have confused and frightened them.
The real genius is how they recap the premise three times in the first minute or so (the opening narration, the theme song, and Mr. Kayrock's statement to the jury.)
This is Bill Hader and Fred Armisen's all-time favorite sketch.
No wonder they are not funny.
Brian Heuer you must have an awful taste in comedy if you don’t think either of those two are funny. Wow
Justin Forman He must drive a garbage truck. He a stupid guy..
Brian Heuer Don’t be daft. Bill Hader at least is funny. I can see how he was influenced by this.
There's always gotta be a hater in the comment thread...
That transition from his banging the club in his hand as a caveman to him slapping one hand into the other to emphasize a point as a lawyer always cracks me up.
well, he used to be a caveman, but now he’s a lawyer.
Did Hartman ever not just absolutely crush a SNL performance? You can make a real strong argument he's the greatest cast member they've ever had.
Probably my favourite.
No doubt.
💯
I agree he’s definitely the most consistent I’ve ever seen Dana carvey would be a close second for me as well both absolute one in a generation talents
I put he and Kate McKinnon right at the top - Belushi just behind, along with Dana Carvey
Sketches like this remind me why I still miss Phil Hartman. 💕
Well, maybe next year you will stop missing him.
@@lucienaugustusarchibaldmac7904 i hope whatever you're going thru works out.
@@aaroneusjames2342 you need a sketch to remind you, you miss someone ?
Lucien Augustus Archibald MacGuffin The III people don’t constantly miss people who they don’t know you bitter weirdo
@@rythaguy1893 the comment is gaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay.
The world was robbed of Phil Hartman.🕯✊
I guess if he'd kept it in his pants, and not married a psycho...
Your world frightens and confuses me.
KutWrite blah blah blah married to a psycho probably drove him to whipping it out for another woman.
Space Bear That is got to be one of the funniest sarcastic replies I’ve ever fucking read on RUclips omg
Murdered by a women
Sometimes the honking horns of your traffic make me wanna... Get out of my BMW... And.. Run off into the hills or... Whatever
Super Hiro A deeply subversive sketch. Still relevant.
Whatevet
@Steve Bosell but did he say what he typed?
Yes.... throw off my Cartier watch.... and go and live in a cave.
Best line! 😂
RIP Phil hartman. A true pioneer and advocate for the cavern dweller and cro magnon-american communities, at a time when it was rare to see unfrozen cavemen and cavewomen in Hollywood playing anything but stereotypical hunters, or the occasional gatherer
he truly showed that what geological era you come from doesn't have to define you, and that our hominid ancestors are much more than the monolyth from 2001, a space odyssey.
Classic Phil "The Glue" Hartman. The brilliance of his comedic timing, cynicism, sarcasm and persona was just unique. Miss him. RIP.
1:15 the watch check and the look up to the ceiling as he "gathers his thoughts" even though it's obvious he's rehearsed all of this beforehand. Phil is the GOAT
Happy Fun Ball is now officially banned in all 50 states.
The No Fun Ball is officially used by Trump everywhere he goes.
Do not taunt Happy Fun Ball
Pikapool ? Damn liberals ban everything
Dude it’s 52 states
Damn! I had my credit card all ready
*_There will never, ever be another Phil Hartman. RIP brother._*
The original script had it sponsored by Dog Assassin "when you can't bear to put him to sleep, maybe it's time to call Dog Assassin" and Big Fat Bean "why eat hundreds of little beans when you can eat one big one?" It also had the second part on an airplane
Hartman plays this with so much comedic depth. You kinda can't tell if he's being sincerely primitive in moments, or extremely condescending. Genius
This makes me feel effing old knowing this was almost 30 years ago. If I only had a dollar for every time I have said "Your world frightens and confuses me"
I like "But there is one thing I DO know."
Clickumentary same lol
Clickumentary, I came here because I just typed that line to my 19-year old son in a text. I assume he will not understand that line a- given he’s the son of a frozen caveman lawyer - so I’m sending him this sketch for the backstory. I use the line fairly regularly. It’s so good.
Haha! 😂 I was having a frustrating conversation with my mother the other day and I ended it with "What do I know, I'm just a caveman?" complete with furrowed brow and under bite.
I won.
@@37view37 love it
I find this hilarious. In high school we had a stockbroker come and teach our economics class for a short time, and he had a protuding brow. Needless to say my buddy and i would always refer to him as unfrozen caveman stockbroker.
Stockbrokers are long overdue for being put back under the ice. Hopefully no one thaws them out next time.
ha!
"Boys and girls of the classroom....I'm just a caveman"
Interesting. You know, I only actually hire caveman attorneys because of this skit. It hasn't worked out that great in my experience.
🤣🤣🤣
“Your world frightens and confuses me”
Hahaha I keep watching that over again. He was brilliant.
One of my favorite skits of all time. I miss Phil Hartman so much.
I agree. He was for the most part unproblematic, and he and his children lost their lives behind his wife and her psychological issues.
I wish she had received the help she truly needed.
I have to say that I really liked him and his comedic style a lot, and no one had and still doesn't have a negative thing to say about him.
What a huge loss of him and his family to the world, truly.
Who knows what more we missed out on because of the loss of them through no fault of their own.
The entire premise of the skit, that a caveman could go to law school, is so savage and funny. THis is my all time favorite character and skit.
@@mikeyerian2562 it's a sketch, not a skit.
@@FAYMprod Skit: noun a short comedy sketch or piece of humorous writing.
Phil Hartman was an incredible comedic talent. You may remember him from such classic Simpsons characters as Troy McClure, Lyle Lanley, and Lionel Hutz.
And Tom, the bigger brother! He'd kiss you, if Bigger Brothers hadn't made him sign a waiver saying he wouldn't.
Or you may remember him from the classic, "Calling All Quakers!"
I remember him from such cautionary tales as "Locker Room Towel Fight: The Blinding of Larry Driscoll"
I remember him from such films as “The President’s Neck Is Missing” and “Dial M for Murderesness”
Say hello to Miguel Sanchez!
This is one my favorite SNL skits. It's so stupid but Phil Hartman's performance is so good it makes it funnier than the concept deserves. 😂
Agreed
Same here.
“So stupid” ….!!?? No !
It’s prophetic and what makes it great(despite ur density)is its perfect depiction of the hypocrisy in todays world. That’s what makes the sketch great … duh
You explained it very well. On paper this shouldn’t work. But in a the hands of a genius it’s Gold
It was a funny bit,...buy why do his kids looks more like cavemen than he does?
This sketch frightens and confuses me, but in a good way.
It’s making fun of politicians. If a caveman from millions years can do (and they haven’t evolved yet), anyone stupid can do it.
@@fcaspergerrainman I'd take it a step further. That dumbasses appeal to common folk for votes. Its suggesting politicians act retarded just to seem relatable. I personally like to believe politicians are smarter than they present themselves.
You said that in Phil Hartman's voice! 👏
Lmao!
"if I hear the words Objection and Sustained one more time today, I think I'm gonna yell!"
"Objection!"
"Sustained!"
* yells *
"It''s (flawless comedic pause) just Kirok your honor."
RIP Phil, a true genius and master of his craft
It's incredible to see how far Lionel Hutz aka Miguel Sanchez has come from when he was first thawed out and went to law school.
This sketch was all in Phil Hartman's delivery. What a talent
I'm just a caveman...but there's one thing I do know, it's that we must do everything in our power to lower the capital gains tax!
I so much enjoyed that! 😂😂😂
I last saw this almost thirty years ago, and I was still mouthing almost all the lines with the actors. That tells you how much it stuck in my head. Timeless writing
💝
One of the funniest sketches of all time. Simple, sharp, perfectly executed and funny on multiple levels. Never gets old
This character would have been great in a full-length movie. R. I. P. Phil Hartman. One of the best to come outta SNL.
I loved this sketch from the first time I saw it on live TV… it’s funny that the audience doesn’t seem to know what to make of it… even Dana Carvey doesn’t seem to realize this sketch is pure gold
This was my late brother’s favorite sketch. R.I.P Phil Hartman
Legit thought your last name was going to be Hartman
I actually love sketches like this. the political stuff is usually not funny to me. I like weird escapism stuff. Now if Caveman lawyer was in the democratic debate, that may be funny.
Rip, Lionel Hutz. Your voice lives on in our hearts
I love how disingenuous he is. So funny.
Just like a lawyer. XD
@@shack8110 Lionel Hutz's Great X 5,000 Grandfather
He just got unthawed and is afraid of fax machines, but completely understands how to work the system
Thats exactly what makes it so funny i think,lol
He really leans into the whole caveman thing.
I just love how his being a caveman is irrelevant, he just USES it as a lawyer.
Sigh... that’s the joke.
@@dropkickirish4449 I love how ha ha haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
I love how the theme song sounds like a Warren Zevon song.
I think the joke is they are trying to portray that lawyers act like this to "dumb down" things to the jury to sway them.
@@EricLS i like how this is a sketch because it was written for a sketch comedy show.... 😄
That 'whatever' he throws in is just genius. Love this skit so much.
Finally! I've been waiting for years for this sketch to get posted on here!
Mike Cruse You can watch them on Saturday night lives website
YES!!!
Why?? It's absolutely not funny.
Haha me too! I always reference this "your world frightens me" haha
I remember screaming with laughter when I saw this, wondering why the audience was dead silent. 3O years later, I still am.
Phil Hartman. The greatest SNL cast member of all time.
Absolutely my fave. And I so loved this concept! With that smarmy fake humility, “I am just a caveman. Your world frightens and confuses me. Sometimes I wanta get outta my BMW and run into the hills”:
@@tonibauer2949 or whatever...LOL
It’s between him and Bill Hader
He's definitely in the top 5 of all time. Chris Farley gets so much attention it's easy to forget that Phil's death was incredibly tragic as well. Truly underrated comedian, writer, and actor
He and Sheri Oteri were great!
I just close my eyes while listening to Phil Hartman's beautiful voice and imagine Lionel Hutz.
Sorry but Unfrozen Caveman Lawyer would blow Lionel Hutz out of the water.
In one scene, Hutz is complaining about the glamourized way Hollywood depicts lawyers.
"Oh sure, like lawyers work in big skyscrapers and have secretaries!"
My name is Troy McClure...
I believe you mean Miguel Sanchez
Watching this again after all these decades, man: Hartman rules. The little moment where he checks his watch right before giving his summation to the jury is such a specific piece of performance, so *true* to actual lawyering, and probably he could've sold the piece without it. But it's just a nice detail that a million performers would've missed.
Lol. I love the “or…whatever..”
Best part
This is awesome! !!
But, seriously, how this caveman managed to be more charismatic than normal human lawyers is beyond me.
He was probably a devious and cunning tribal chieftain. Just like every other lawyer and politician.
3:30 - *"I really don't understand your Congress...."*
Interesting. 20+ years later, I still don't, either....
It's 30+ years now.
Maybe Senator Quiroc would have made it make sense. Then again, maybe not.
@@NoNo-qk6uz This was early 90's -- almost 30
He understands it perfectly... probably got elected to it, even.
"My fellow citizens, I'm just a caveman, blah blah... but I do know we need low taxes, a strong economy, and better schools!"
I saw this live as a kid, and have been waiting years for SNL to post it! Thanks! RIP Phil Hartman
22 years later and we still feel the void that Phil left after he was taken from us
This is probably my favorite SNL skit. Its just so sublime and genius.
Those little adverts at the beginning were the funniest part
Happy Fun Ball...still legal in sixteen states. Brilliant!!!
He looks like Tommy Wiseau
Yet surprisingly, more articulate
Hahaha... He might actually be a real unfrozen neanderthal ..His background and origin is shrouded in mystery....Some say he's French and some say he's from certain parts of Eastern Europe. That would explain 'The Room' ......
You are tearing me apart!!!
Gene Simmons....
Holy shit, he really does
This is the ultimate troll of the "I may not be a fancy big-city lawyer . . ." closing argument
Loved the late Phil Hartman. This was my favorite SNL skit of Phil Hartman. He clearly articulates his limited mindset and lack of understanding by saying, "Ladies and gentlemen of the jury....I'm just a caveman." Classic Phil Hartman.
"Happy Fun Ball: Still legal in sixteen states!"
Probably my favorite callback in the history of SNL
I loved watching Phil as a kid. He's my all time favorite SNL actor. I was really sad when I heard he died several years ago. Miss his comedic brilliance.
Its.....just Keyrock, your honor......and yes, I'm ready. thank you.
I suspect it's "Keerok" or something like that. Maybe "Kherahk",
@@justforever96 Kirok - from Star Trek
@@justforever96 ruclips.net/video/isoSITS61ic/видео.html
@@justforever96 It could be, but how would I know? I'm just a caveman......
@@joshokc Josh, that's when William Shatner was in career hell.
I had a customer in the early 90's and he had a cell phone. His monthly bill was $3000.00.
The understated brilliance of this just blows me away. Phil's acting and the camera work felt like I was watching "Inherit the Wind."
This sketch got basically zero laughs but it's somehow one of my favourites
It’s a jack handy sketch. basically too zen for the audience but smart people get it
A coworker in the early-'90s could deliver the "I'm just a caveman" line just like Phil Hartman. It's eerie thinking of it so many years later.
This is the skit they would have brought back when Phil hosted SNL in the modern era if he had lived.
I still miss Phil Hartman :(
Agree!!!!!!!
If the world in 1991 frightened and confused him imagine how he'd feel in 2024.
00:28 so THIS is where Trump learned his hand gestures
They need to come up with unfrozen child moe lester president for your boy Biden and all you kiddy toucher sodomites out there
10 people haven’t got a clue at the genius of Phil Hartman! Funniest deadpan comic of all time! RIP 💖 Phil!
I agree
Well, there is Jack Benny to be considered. Phil was awesome but Jack was on another level IMHO.
Phil was great. Wish they'd post some of his Donahue sketches.
There are two online now! : D
"My primitive mind can’t grasp these concepts"...
...when a caveman’s grammar is better than mine.
Phil Hartman made everything he was in better. Such a talent...
That’s why he was in more sketches than anyone else in the cast then. It’s very competitive at SNL for who gets to be in a sketch. Phil was the only one who would complain about being in too many sketches. On average they do about 8 a sketch per show, Phil was usually in about 6 of them
Looks like Gene Simmons
Peter Haeggström-Official HAHaHa! Sure does! I knew he looked like someone but couldn’t get it.
HAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!! Funniest thing I've heard in a while!!!
Plot twist: Gene Simmons is actually a Neanderthal...
But with better hair
IS Gene
I love the way he says “compensatory.” He can take dictionary words, simmer it down and make it conversational.
I love how the judge is the only person who sees through Kerock's BS front
Think about it. If a caveman was thawed, taught about life, and ended up sane like this. Bro, something like this would totally happen, he or she would be an instant celebrity. The mass public of America would totally fall for this bs in politics if it could actually happen
I love you Phil Hartman wherever you are! We remember you with nothing but fondness.
Would had love to see Hartman in an episode of Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee. Damn!
Phil Hartman was one of the greatest - and this was perhaps the best overall cast of SNL.
Oh Phil...RIP you gem of an actor!!😢
Rishav absolutely! They don’t make them like that anymore.
@@JoelHernandez-yl6yw nope actually they can't 😓
“Your ways frighten and confuse me” has been a favorite quote ever since the late great Phil Hartman said it.❤😂✨
This is, by far, my favorite skit in the entire SNL series. The insulting premise of it makes me laugh so hard. And Hartman is perfect.
I remember seeing this when I was about 11 and this is still one of my all time favorite sketches. I will randomly drop "I'm just a caveman" into a conversation and rarely is the reference ever gotten.
Gotta love how the videos I watched on tv as a young child are now classified as ‘Vintage’
The music I grew up with is now referred to as "oldies" - It's called getting old :)
I was born in '49. 21st technology is magic to me.
I was born much later but way before 2000.
Mobile phones, huh. I keep them to call or be called or to see what time it is.
What are those other people looking at their phones for all the time?
Born in '83, and I can't figure out technology.
Rob Schneider’s best SNL work right here.
Phil Hartman was one of the greatest comedic actors of the 20th century. Every time I see one of these old SNL skits I think of Phil and what a horrible senseless tragedy his death was. Thanks Phil. You were great!
He doesn't understand our system of checks and balances? It's simple - donors write the checks and politicians use them to improve their bank balances.
*rimshot*
That’s......really pretty good
"Your world frightens and confuses me"....Slogan for the year 2020.
Phil Hartman is the SNL G.O.A.T.
This is my favorite SNL skit of all time 😂😂😂😂
These moving pictures coming from this magic box I’m holding is to much for my primitive mind to comprehend. But what I do know is Phil Hartman is awesome.
Phil Hartman was one of my favorites!!!😂😂😂😂
Phil Hartman was legendary. God rest his brilliant soul😊
OMG! Sometimes I wanna get outta my BMW and just run for the hills .... or whatever 😂😂♥️
Credit to Siobhan Fallon's judge who is fully aware of Keyrock's BS. I love this sketch so much
"Sometimes when I get a message on my fax machine…" haha! Ancient technology ;)
Phil Strahl Still an impressive feat though
Yeah, except that fax machines are still in very active use today.
We missed out on SO MANY LAUGHS when we lost Phil so early. Continue to RIP, funny man.
Phil was the best!.... Remember Colon-Blow? Lol He is missed!
hmm. Sounds delicisous! haha.. that pyramid mountain of cereal. So funny!
ruclips.net/video/Ku42Iszh9KM/видео.html
And now ..Super Colon Blow!!
The best Ed McMahon also
@@brianobrian9334 YES! You are correct, sir!
I cant believe they reference happy fun ball! I have always loved this sketch.
Hartman’s gameshow host voice makes this one of the best SNL skits ever.
Wow SNL getting meta in '88 with the happy fun ball reference.
This is the season that they debuted Happy Fun Ball.
Wow! I forgot just how much I used to love watching Saturday night live and how much skits like this one ment to me in my early years..
