Here's an observation from an old guy. That nude beach sketch where they keep saying 'penis'? The joke behind it is that it had just recently become okay to use the word 'penis' on TV so they were going to get as much mileage out of it as possible.
ok thats actually hilarious
Like when South Park found out they could say "shit" on TV, so they made a whole episode around it. 😂 I salute those who push the line to the extreme.
@@msthecommentator2863 Yeah they got over 100 shits on the counter. I don't mean they shat on a counter 100 times. You know what I mean.
Yeah just makes you realize how the show really banks on current events
Lmaooo
the oj simpson thing is hilarious. he was told not to make jokes about him bc one of the people in charge was friends with him and responded by making one every single episode until he was fired.
I very much respect this

I thought he did the same thing with Hillary Clinton jokes.
The “SNL got political” take is on par with the “I liked Rage Against the Machine before they got political” take.
True
The people that tend to repeat that are ironically letting their mask slip...... it's not that it got "political", it's that the show is making a joke out of an ideology they've tied their entire sense of self to. Fanaticism leads to not being able to take a joke about what they're being fanatics over
@@Sonichero151or they didn't have enough media literacy to know they were the ones being made fun of in the first place and now that it's being spelled out they're mad
@@christinewarden3450 Both I think
I don't want to name any names, (okay that's a lie) Trump supporters are probably a large amount of the people who say it's political now
It's literally called "rage against the machine" how did they not pick up anything political from that?
You know as someone from Europe who only knew SNL at its worst this is actually fascinating. I never realised how many A-class Hollywood stars started their careers on that show, let alone how many B-class actors even had a career at all simply because they could put it in their resume.
That's true... Experience on the show went a long way for whatever reason and basically ensued everyone a good gig after
Oh yeah, SNL has probably made more acting careers (especially comedy ones) than any other show ever.
@@ironwolf56 The Tonight Show, especially the Carson era, gets credit for starting the most careers. But yes, SNL is still in the top few.

@Cheecho sorry what? Self proclaimed comedy expert? Drew never said that man, he's just comentating his opnion. Even if he did say that sometime, it was probably ironic.
Rolling Stone's fans what?
"drug". No.
Drew: “Now that every episode ever made is on Peacock…”
Me: “Oh shit did he get sponsored by NBC?”
Drew: “A streaming service I’ll stop using the moment I’m done with this video.”
Me: “…Guess not”

16:14 It's kinda hard to believe nowadays, but Keanu Reeves used to be a punching bag of Hollywood. He did such a good job in Bill and Ted that people just thought he _was_ Ted IRL. Thankfully most of it went away after The Matrix released in 1999 and people realized he was a serious actor, then finally put to rest for good after John Wick in 2014.

One of my all time favorite sketches. I'm definitely biased because I grew up with the High School Musical movies, though.
one of my favorite sletches ever for sure
It's funny as shit
I'm going to have to watch that one. That's the perfect sketch to do for Zac Efron and the premise is incredible.
SNL hasn't been funny since 3000 BC, when Ashbel did his impression of Moses parting the red sea.
Fr like when Bartholomew played Abel
YOU REMEMBER THAT TOO?? I thought I was the only one!
yeah. like wow, it was only funny then, jeez.
Personally, when cleopatra guest starred, I really enjoyed it. And the tour of Pangea was great!
@@katie-yg8ci that was great! also love your pfp
My favorite SNL sketch was one from when Norm Macdonald was hosting. It’s about two rival street gangs that are meant to be like the ones from West Side Story where they’re all dancing around and singing, but Norm, who’s one of leaders, isn’t in on it so he’s just confused and standing off while everyone’s just dancing around.
I think I've seen that one in many MANY out of context compliations cause it lives rent free in the collective heads of humanity
This is the funniest thing Drew has made in 20 years.
OJ killed it on SNL. He really slayed that audience. Murder.
underrated comment
Homicide if you will
Ha ha ha killing people
Death
@@ThinWheatLine Someone think of the poor double murderer!!!
I also feel like the "SNL was funnier in my day" comes from how TV used to be watched. When I was a teenager I would stay up late and watch with my sisters. On more then one occasion we wouldn't laugh during the episode but then talk about the skit so much that it became funnier in hindsight because it became an inside joke with my sisters. Also there was less content out in the world so it was more likely my friends where watching SNL. If I missed that weeks episodes, I couldn't always find them on RUclips, I would just be out of the joke that week. My point is SNL was funnier when my friends and family watched SNL because sharing a joke with someone is funnier than laughing and a screen alone in your bedroom.
Not even close. It has to do with talent and writing. SNL has always had ups and downs. Its first few years were great. In the 80s, the show sucked for awhile after numerous big names moved on. It had a resurgence in the 90s, went downhill in the early 2000s, got better in the mid 2000s, and ever since 2013 or so has went from mediocre to borderline unwatchable. The new cast sucks and the writing is so cringey and politically charged....and very partisan.
SNLs comedy used to appeal to everyone. Now, it only apoeals to a select people.
Geeze, The comments here are clearly from the youth who have no idea! I agree and have the same kinds of memories, we would say the lines for years sometimes and I still quote them now!
@Juliana __ Some people want to believe everything has somehow gotten "political now" and that's why it's bad. Truth is everything has always been political. I think the real difference is that the world was never so polarized and desperate to stay that way. It's strange. Though I'm with this comment OP - less to consume, more shared, etc.
should be top comment
Waw that made me feel lonely
Rip to that one guy who hosted in 1978. Whoever that was
I've never heard of SNL before this video but I've realized I like Eurovision song contest in the same way Drew likes SNL. Yes, it sucks, but sometimes something really funny and iconic happens and it's worth it. It's a trainwreck with some hidden gems.
you're so right for this omg
Yes
The purpose of SNL is to kinda throw everything at the wall and see what sticks. You remember the good stuff and forget the rest.
They have a week to write and practice brand new sketches with hosts that may or may not even be actors. Then you have to account for set design/costumes/etc. They are doing this on hard mode for sure, and I respect the entire production for that. Of course there will be bad sketches. Oh yeah, and Vanessa Bayer was criminally underrated for sure.
Someone gets it^^^
That pretty much sums it up.

The show sucks ...Who are we kidding ?
For the past decade , “SNL” has attempted to make up for the god-awful writing by bringing in celebrities to play recurring “characters” . But even THIS strategy has failed .
What’s so funny about seeing Jim Carrey doing an impression of Jim Carrey doing Joe Biden ?
What’s so funny about seeing Alec Baldwin doing an impression of Alec Baldwin doing Donald Trump ?
I’m old enough to remember when SNL used to cast literal sketch comedians in their sketches !
Seriously though , how many times must we be subjected to a sketch where they just tell the same joke OVER AND OVER again and call that a full sketch ?
The same joke is repeated until the sketch ends ...
Another tactic of the god- awful writers is to pack each sketch with the most amount of jokes possible , which oftentimes , does not allow for the satisfaction of waiting for that one perfectly timed joke or punchline .
And the present cast members suffer from some of the worst comedic timing during their sketches .
And don’t get me started on the incessant awkward pauses and clear signs the celebrity guest stars are reading cue cards.
And these SNL writers try SO HARD to force sketches about current events ...ugh 🤢
These writers need reminding that the best and most iconic SNL sketches of all time , were ones which were just funny , without any relation to what’s going on in the world .
People will remember the great sketches with good writing and good acting far longer than a bad sketch that was relevant at the time and had a celebrity in it , for the sake of having a celebrity in it.
SNL sucks !
@@angelozachos8777 I disagree with the last bit, the sketches with Tina Fey as Sarah Palin are beloved by people on both sides of the political spectrum. Again, OP is right, they throw everything at the wall and see what sticks, so maybe most of their sketches on current events are bullshit, but once in a while they produce a real gem
The people who keep repeating "This is the funniest thing SNL has done in years" are just simply doing an SNL sketch where the joke is that they repeat "This is the funniest thing SNL has done in years".
It's a pretty great sketch, probably one of the funniest things SNL has done in years.

As someone who has never seen a full episode of SNL, I really appreciate this comprehensive recap

Same! I've watched hundreds of sketches on RUclips,but never single episode
I've watched like, 2 snl sketches ever as far as I know, but I'm about to need bare minimum knowledge of what the show is, so this video was great
Man just watch the Gilda sketches, there the best ones.
same.
It's crazy how many huge staple actors and comedians come out of SNL.
It's kind of a comedy institution
It really is a jumpstart for a comedy career. If you can last a few season and make an impact, you can make something out of it. That’s why a lot of the current cast members have been in movies or have done standup since joining.
Who?
@@mewesquirrel6720 Eddie Murphy, its biggest star, and then others like Andy Sandberg, Adam Sandler, Tina Fey, Amy Phoeler, Chris Rock, Bill Murray, RDJ.....list goes on
@@mewesquirrel6720 Chevy Chase Jim Belushi Dan Akroyd Bill Murray Eddie Murphy Julia Louis Dreyfus Phil Hartman Mike Meyers Chris Farley Chris Rock Adam Sandler Will Ferrell Tina Fey Amy Pohler Andy Samberg Bill Hader
bill hader wasn't mentioned a lot in this video, and I just wanna point out something I've noticed about his comedic style that sets him apart. and I think this is why a lot of people consider him to be one of the best cast members of the last fifteen or so years.
his impressions are transformative. most SNL impressions of movie characters, celebrities, etc, are just filler lines up until they Say The Funny Catchphrase. and most of these sketches fall flat (a lot of celebrity jeopardy sketches do this). but when Bill does his take on an existing character, he adapts the character to something like a new setting or time period, and transforms what could be a throwaway skit into something memorable.
and sure, he's very repetitive. but he doesn't do the EXACT same thing in every sketch like some SNL actors do. with the exception of specific characters he plays, such as Stefan, he doesn't really have a single trait that he's remembered for. sometimes he's really loud and facially expressive, aggressive, homoerotic, even homosexual, but sometimes he doesn't say a single word, and he's probably funny regardless of what he's doing. he's adaptable. he isn't just a loud funny man, he adapts to what the skit/character needs him to do. and that's still apparent today, as he has found success in the show Barry, among other projects.
When I'm down, I like to go back to sketches where Hader plays off of Armisen. Those two together made magic on screen.

"Nostalgia is a drug that causes us to misconstrue our memories" Well said.
Great saying
Here's a great example:
When i was a kid i used to eat a LOT of spam when i was a kid. Like i remember how happy i felt whenever my gran was cooking spam it was all that i ate. Im an adult now (19) and i felt really nostalgic seeing some spam after seeing some at walmart so naturally I bought the spam, went home with the spam, and then cooked the spam. I almost damn near threw up putting that stuff in my mouth holy crap it was so salty. It tasted exactly how i remember it yet it tastes SO awful now. like i don't even know how i was able to stomach that mess i just threw it away.
Never bought spam again that day
Nostalgia is a really powerful thing

The Hamm & Bublè and the Deep V-neck one with “night at the museum guy” are the most memorable skits. Burned into my brain.
In 7th grade I watched all the seasons because a friend had them on a hard drive- I can tell ya the show has always been hit and miss. You literally have to Google current events at the time to even get half of the jokes.
SNL has always been sort of funny when you're watching it, but a lot funnier the next day when you're quoting it.
Colin reading racist jokes Michael wrote for him , that he hadn’t seen yet, was the funniest part of the finale.
It’s a Weekend Update tradition. I think it’s funny how people say SNL is too politically correct but miss moments like that.

Just a quick note on Charles Rocket and why NBC tried to make him the next big star of SNL.
Rocket worked as a serious news anchor for a few NBC stations across the country, and had produced a series of comedic short films where he played a reporter who asked random people on the street weird questions (similar to Billy Eichner’s bit 40 years later). These shorts were popular in the underground comedy scene of the late 1970s, and his experience as an anchor made hiring him to do Weekend Update seem like a perfect fit.
After he got the gig, it went to his head. He felt that he had made it just be being on SNL, and didn’t need to try as hard. Hell, most of the people hired for season 5 thought the same thing as Rocket. He immediately began feuding with Eddie Murphy and Joe Piscopo because they dared to actually try and put effort into their sketches.
Rocket was fired after dropping the f-bomb on live television, along with everyone else except Murphy and Piscopo.
I think it would be interesting to watch the highest vs lowest rated episodes of each season, and then compare the highs to the highs, the lows to the lows, and lows to the highs (and vice versa).
As a non-American who's never seen an episode of Snl, this was great

Andy Samberg really did save SNL’s digital shorts, almost singlehandedly. I honestly wish they would let Kyle fill a similar role
it's sad that he's always cut for time because his sketches are very youtube-esque and i really enjoy them but hey!! we got kyle cut for time mooney
He’s funny
They don’t respect him
Not just Andy, the trio of the lonely island were geniuses and a blessing to snl
Don't exclude Jorma and Akiva. They were a package deal and all of them were responsible for those bits. Andy was the face but it was a group effort.
kyle mooney and beck bennett are genuinely funny and i am sad they’re still on snl lmao
The laziest POV is that "it got too political" or my fav, that the sandler, spade, rock, farley era is the best. No one thinks the seasons are funny they are currently in. No one knew at the time who would go on to do brilliant things. Every season is hit or miss, nothing was perfect, there were no perfect casts (but I will say the hader, Wiig, armisen, sudekis et all in that 8-10 years era to me is the best)
my teacher last year showed an SNL skit to basically emphasize to pay attention in class. it was the classroom skit iirc, and i loved it. ever since then my biased view of SNL has been slowly been lifted, and this video made sure it was lifted wideeee open. he also showed us the entire history of the world at the beginning of the school year. he was real funny and actually chill, made school a lot more enjoyable than it is now. good video as always 🩶🩶🩶

I honestly think Cecily Strong is criminally underrated. Her girl at the party character showed how talented she is, but she is often reduced to the hot deadpan character.
They do the same thing to Chloe and it's extremely frustrating.
shame she’s done after this season iirc 😔
@@B-rad1 It drives me insane because Chloe is so talented
She is hot
@@robbiesilverwolf Yeah but she's more than just that. If they just wanted a hot character rather than a multi faceted comedian they should've hired Sommer Ray.
And by the way, his analysis is spot on. I've heard SO many people say over the years say that SNL hasn't been good since the early years. Which is BS. Some of the skits from those early shows fell flat, just like they've done ever since. What kind of surprises me is this young man's detail, and the fact that he made this video about a subject that you'd THINK would have come from someone several years older. At first, I thought he was in his early 20s, but apparently he's closer to 30. And very well spoken. And kinda cute.
SNL has launched many great comedy careers, but none of the ones lately in the last few have been...anything. So I guess the proof is in the result. How them ratings?
@@Sinsteel , well, depending on how far you go back. Samberg and Sudeikis and Bill Hader have been pretty successful, as has Pete Davidson. And two of my all time favorite female players have been Kate McKinnon and Cicely Strong.
Cecily Strong and Kate McKinnon were the best parts of SNL 47. Now, if i have to pick a current cast member, id probably say Heidi Gardner is one of the best on SNL
Maybe the real SNL was the friends we made along the way.

“ Old thing good, new thing bad” is a thing that bothers me so much. How people blindly hate on new music, movies, shows, etc.
it’s the biggest boomer move a man can make
But how else will I let everyone know about my insecurity and on-going mid-life crisis?
What I hate most is how it can allow people to dodge valid criticism when a new installment of an existing property DOES suck.
Man, it'll be super weird when you find yourself doing it in 20-50 years...
I don't hate new music, there's just a lot of new popular genres of music that simply aren't for me. That being said, there's still plenty of new music I like. As for movies and TV shows, I like both old and new.

Broke: SNL hasn't been good since the 70s
Woke: SNL has averaged one watchable sketch per episode for most of its run
I find that there’s usually like 3 or 5 sketches that are funny, 1 or 2 that are instant classics, 1 thing will happen or be said that’ll get coverage (something controversial or something infamous)…. And another hour of forgetful nothing.
@@joeyclemenza7339 I'll second that.
Sometimes you also get an episode that is totally worthless, and occasionally you'll get a several episode run, or even half a season, where there are more memorable or funny skits than usual.

@AxleCarp I can agree to that.
But "watchable" is also an extremely low bar.

Honestly Drew this while 37 minute video summed up my feelings for snl. It is kind of like a sports team- even on the bad days you still root for them. I have a friend who says it’s a bad show because they’ve “had more bad seasons than good ones” and I’m like that’s really hard to back up
Career Day with Adam Driver is one of the funniest SNL skits ever and that was just a few years ago.

Honestly, it was so bad I did laugh. I’ve watched the show for years and there have been other skits that I just didn’t pay attention to or can’t even remember. It was terrible to be sure, but kinda in the same way a car crash is in that you couldn’t look away
@@BenHawkinsvids Elon was only good as that Floyd or Lloyd cryptoguy on the morning show with Colin and Michael. That's it every other one is just not that good.
And the best SNL host for me was Adam Driver. No one will ever top his performance there
I agree. That was my least favorite episode.
the KGB shows that skit to torture their enemies.
Drew saying at the end that it was going to repeat itself with the 2010s being the season everyone remembers with Kate McKinnon and Kyle Mooney is foreshadowing of exactly what’s happening right now and I love it
I grew up with the Sandler, Farley, Harvey cast with Mcdonald doing the news, and while I'll always think those years were funny. ANY SEASON with Bill Hader are far and away the funniest seasons of SNL. Full Stop.
I honestly really appreciate Drew’s constant SNL defense. There’s so much work that goes into the show and for a show that throws so much at the wall: Obviously not every episode will be good. But that doesn’t mean it can’t be funny
I agree completely! Nostalgia plays a HUGE role in how we remember past seasons. But this current cast of members is truly amazing. Im sad that some of them are almost definitely leaving. But I feel like the newer ones are also great and can guide the show. Its just that the sheer quantity of sketches they write per season is daunting. Not to mention that a lot of hosts just aren't comedic actors, so they can't help but suck the life out of some sketches.
It's honestly insane to make a whole show in a week, from writing to making sets, costume, practicing, etc, it's a miracle it works as often as it does already. A lot of cast membera have had panic attacks on the show because of how intense it is to make it.
same! i feel like people just jump on the bandwagon of hating it since it's what everyone else is doing but if they actually watched it i think they'd realize it's never as awful as they make it out to be lol
Look up how they treat their writers and you'll see why they suck nowadays. It's not worthless but definitely not as good as it was in its prime like the nineties and early aught's
@@CHIEF__ did you not watch this video?
That one Adam Driver skit where he’s an old man visiting his son’s school for career day kills me every time, like it actually has me in tears so like yeah modern SNL still has its hits

HE'S MY FINAL REVENGE H.R.
Adam Driver is so underrated comedically!
The other Career Day skits are pretty funny, too. I especially like the one featuring Chance the Rapper.
The “X used to be good, but now it sucks” argument is always hilarious to me. It’s not the show that’s changed ….. it’s you. Whether you’re more mature or your sense of humor evolved, it’s not the show. RUclips has me enjoying SNL more and more because it’s essentially a “Best of” compilation that you can access whenever you want. I agree, A LOT of SNL sketches fall flat from all eras due to writing, performances, hosts, topical humor, old political sketches, etc.
However, some are beyond timeless and still make me laugh. It’s just the nature of how the show is made and that it’s in constant flux with old talent leaving and new talent coming in.
this is one of drews most rewatchable videos imo :/ its so iconic
I can’t believe Drew knows about Star Wars! Such an unknown classic! It’s a shame it was never popular ever
What’s a Star War?
@@updatedrepexperience Just as I suspected
What's a Drew?
@@dogbear1231 look at what aa said
Why is Star War
SNL is like Sturgeon's Law, 90% of everything is garbage, but the potential of finding something that isn't garbage is what makes life worth living.

That tends to go for any and all skit/variety type show.
Monty Python is beloved my millions and only a handful of skits are funny and/or memorable.
For me, one of SNL’s (and Letterman’s) biggest contributions was documenting the GREAT musicians from the 60s/70s who never got the screen time that came with MTV in the 80s when the music declined n the video took prominence.
Also Keenan Thompson is a national treasure! Such a consistently reliable player whose infectious charm never fails to lift one’s spirits!
People are absolutely going to talk about how great the weekend update was when michael and collin were hosting it, because those two are genuinely hilarious 😂
yes, thanks i'll take 37 minutes of drew

37 minutes wow just realized! LFG

SNL has definitely always been the definition of hit-or-miss. Lucky for me, I have a brain disorder where I'm just as entertained by the train wreck cringe sketches as I am by the genuinely funny ones. So usually I have fun tuning in regardless.
Is it the same brain disorder that makes you so good at engineer?
Yeee haw!!!!! Erectin a dispensuh
Well, I guess that’ll do.
@@astrotrek3534 ha. I see what ya did there 😏
here is that train wreck you ordered ruclips.net/video/HI5W2yZkvV0/видео.html
No joke, I would actually love to hear 6 hours of drew talking about SNL
Will Forte in the background eating pasta is just hysterical to think about
"The smartest thing Adam Sandler ever did was stand in the same room as Rob Schneider, who makes everyone else seem funny by comparison"
Damn. Brutal and brilliant.
True
Rob Schneider was the best in the Waterboy tho
This is the show that i've never actually seen but I feel like I know eveything about because of how much creators talk about it
Verfied youtuber without replies wow
Sus
HI PATTERRZ I LIKE YOUR CONTENT
L
Same, as a Brazilian SNL is mostly irrelevant to me, but I know so much about it because of videos like these (and bill harder cuz he is hot and I can rewatch Barry only so many times)
I also have been defending it for forever. Beck Bennett's office bathroom sketch is the greatest thing I've ever seen.
This latest year is pretty rough though with everyone leaving.
This is the only person in existence I’ve ever seen go contrary to nostalgia good on you dude
drew's casual but INTENSE hatred for rob schneider brings me so much joy
omg hi fellow eliza!!
he Can't do it

If I’m not mistaken, the nude beach sketch was made because the FCC had just started to allow the word “penis” on television, so the goal obviously to say it as much as possible
ikr.

Another thing

your videos are my melatonin. and that's not to say they're boring, I love them. Going back through and rewatching these brings me so much serotonin. Thank you for all the hours of good vibes guy
This is such a good video!! Very informative. Also the President Carlson thing made my stomach turn inside out
I had a physical, horrible reaction when you said “President Carlson.” It doesn’t even feel like a joke.
I really enjoyed the surreal stuff with Kyle mooney and Beck Bennet. Such an odd addition to SNL, with intentional bad acting, production and deranged everyday scenarios, like if aliens or AI tried to recreate human scenarios
The point when SNL stopped being funny is whenever the person saying that sentence graduated college.
I feel this is truly insightful actually. Most people tend to exist predominantly in their own world, and so as they grow older and perceive certain media differently, rather than examining their own change and self actualization, they try and attach an air of objectivity to their new found perspectives. It is part of growing up, but damn it can be frustrating to watch people become so steeped in it that they become inscrutable
Exactly. When people have to learn how to be funny, it defeats the purpose of comedy.
idk, one time my roommates and I realized we'd never seen any of SNL before, so we watched a couple episodes. We thought it seemed to be written pretty solely for the young gen X and elder millennial viewers. Of course there was the occasional funny bit, but overall it just seemed like it wasn't for us.
snl is lame mad t.v....its way more of a circle jerk of celebrity and less mean...its trying to be for teens and kinda a playpin for celebrities to act and feel comfortable while fulfilling their dream ..mad t.v. was for adults....went for the nutsack if you will and really did not shy away from tough topics
Lol that is so backwards. MadTV was based off of MadMAGAZINE which was edgy comedy for teens. I def preferred Mad as a teen and SNL as I got older, but neither now tbh. Does MadTV still exist even? Lol
me: i don’t even watch snl..
drew: *talks about snl for 37 minutes*
me: *gets comfortable* yes
literally me!! never seen a full episode but here I am haha
Why do we do this
I’ve never *
The only episode I watched all the way thru was when bts was the musical guests NSNDN
Same, I'm not even American
Thank you Drew, loved your analysis of the show. I am also a big fan (watched a lot growing up in the 90s and now catch 2-3 bits a week from RUclips) and realize it's not a perfect show, and you really summarized it's appeal and drawbacks nicely. I also have people judge me for liking SNL, so I'm glad there are other ppl out there who still root for the comedians and enjoy the ideas and laugh at the jokes. Thanks for putting this video together!
rick miranis and dave thompson hosted SNL together is canadian culture and it’s important to note that they did it together to reference their very famous canadian characters from SCTV, a famous canadian sketch show airing at the same time
then parodied in the canadian children’s sketch show called “That’s So Weird”
"It seems like something a teenager would come up with" describes Adam Sandler's humor style in a nutshell.
Which also explains why he “used” to be funny his humor is what a lot of teenagers like
As a teenager "take that back, take that back right now" we have taste... Well some of us... At least a select few...
I'm a teenager myself and i don't know a single friend of mine who likes Adam sandler's humor
@@alicio0059 Well, more like 2000-2010 teenage humor. Not teens today
I would say 6-11
How people look at snl is how people look at vine. Now that vine is gone we think it’s some amazing content but in all reality we only think that because we only remember the good stuff through the youtube compilations but if you had the app back then it was just a mess of unfunny lele pons with a few gems
and even some of the "gems" weren't even that funny either looking back.
i disagree with the vine thing. i remember enjoying %90 of the content back then, sure, there were some really embarrassing people and content were there, but even that was ok because everything was original and people weren't trying to be funny and horribly failing at it (removing sone exceptions of that) there was no pushiness, just fun. also it was the comedy sense we had back then, now it's old but gold. so looking at all the fakeness and cringeness and the absolutely disgusting thing that brings this horrendeousness to us called tiktok now, vine seems like a legendary thing.
Honestly. I went back to show my cousin some old vines and sadly I just cringed at them 😅. Of course my sense of humor has evolved but yeah agreed.
The fuck? Vine was garbage, and everyone constantly made fun of it, like people make fun of tiktok now.
I've never met anyone irl or online that has ever thought that Vibe was great. Not. One. Person.
Drew is so entertaining he can make me watch a deep dive on a show I've never seen
Problem with going back to the early episodes is lack of understanding of the pop culture references.
The season 3 1977 episode has Belushi in his Samurai character in the role of Tony Manero from Saturday Night Fever. That film was a cultural touchstone at the time and the sketch makes no sense without a passing knowledge of that movie.
Makes sense that SNL is Drew's favorite show, his delivery is somewhere between Seth Myers and John Mulaney.
John mulaney is not very good

@@breewaldenwomanizerforlife9341 In your opinion
that's overly complimentary
Only more shit
"SNL hasn't been funny since they fired Norm Macdonald."
-Norm Macdonald, hosting SNL
"Stick around, we've got a really bad show for you!"
@JOHNNY ALIBI
No, I was aping the point in the video about how people don't like SNL post what they grew up with by paraphrasing Norm's rant.
And it's only _partially_ a joke!
rip legend
off topic but great pfp
Drew Gooden's videos are my happy place. My 30's have been quite frustrating so far. I find myself watching RUclips/streaming more and playing video games/hobbies less. This guy's humor has been just the right fit for me since the last decade. Eddie Burback, Danny Gonzalez Pitch meeting others etc , too.
What a great video! I rewatched this and still can’t believe such good analysis ! You are rare ! 🙏🏼 please keep up the good work!
The entire concept of "Old things are better" is usually just a concept held up by people only remembering the good stuff. We never rewatch old shows that are bad cause no one remembers them.
Absolutely true. I love music and it makes me angry whenever people talk about how much BETTER music “back then” was... like no grandpa, you just can’t figure out how to find similar music on Spotify...
For real though, there’s amazing art nowadays in all ways. You just have to put in a little effort to find it.
Especially with music.
Every era had people say "today's music stinks... not like (select your era when you were 14 years old).
Right, like when people say "the 90s were a better time."
No...you were just a kid. Remember dial up internet (if you even had that) and standard def tv?
Nostalgia is a powerful thing
@andrew Stockwell
Holy shit, you must be pretty young if you think things like dial up internet connection are a sign that things were worse. People acted differently back then, they treated each other better. If you are too young to remember September 11th, 2001, then it is impossible for you to realize just how much America changed since that fateful day. Who gives a shit about technology, life is about human interaction and human wonder and these things are being deliberately socially engineered out of existence
Me, an eastern european teenager who's seen two SNL sketches: Hmm, interesting
me rn:
Never seen one tbh
Hahah same, I'm watching it selectively on yt now and it's been fun so far. I really like Stefon-he's my favorite ❤️. Greetings from Poland 🇵🇱 ❤️
Lol also an Eastern European but I watch snl all the time
Me a north african who's only ever seen like 5 seconds out of like 5 sketches of SNL: interesting indeed
This video was really well done, especially going the length to talk about the seasons and era's of SNL around the videos he watched.
I just realised I watched a 40 minute video about a show I've never seen a full episode of, and theres no way of getting them in my region...
The chapter thumbnails: Drew, drew, drew, drew, drew, drew, JIMMY FALON WITH FUNNY HAIR, drew, drew, drew.
edit: It changed (at least for me), but trust me, it was really funny
