Just one of the most annoying sounds on the planet. The person who invented paper plates is a God! The second most annoying sound is that of some douche trying too retrieve 10 drops of liquid from a paper drinking container with a straw!
It's been 20 years since I first saw this and I still yell "I DRIVE A DODGE STRATUS" anytime I get into a silly shouting match with people. Or if I want to assert my dominance over a group of people having an argument of their own.
If a conversation about whatever gets too intense between my brother and I at a holiday, one of us will yell this at the other to break the tension and move on. Works every time 😂
The loud clanging of the silverware is such a perfect touch. Bravo to whomever came up with this. It's one of those things dysfunctional families do to try to alleviate tension.
I like the way they automatically divided the daughter’s unfinished plate. He gets the chicken. She gets the carrots. No questions. Again. For the hundredth time.
Yeah, this is one of Sarah's first shows here, this is even before Buffy the vampire slayer. And Kathryn Hahn as the mother, this isn't the only time she appeared in something with Will Ferrell, she's Christine Applegate's friend in Anchor Man
@@alvexok5523This is *not* before Buffy the Vampire Slayer…this episode of SNL aired in 1998, a year after that show premiered. SMG was basically an unknown actress before Buffy. Also it’s not Kathryn Hahn playing the mother, it’s SNL cast member Ana Gasteyer.
@@willowandluka5302 I owned a 2001 Stratus RT Coupe from like 2004 to 2013 or so. In the mid to late 2000's I saw them all the time. They were eventually replaced in Dodge's lineup with the Avenger. I imagine most Stratus' are rotting away in junk yards now.
I love when the husband splits the daughter's leftovers, he makes sure his wife gets all the vegetables and he all the meat. It's only a small detail but very observant.
I just really don't find it funny, rather disturbing or annoying instead. Maybe because i grew up in an Asian household and this kind of thing is just unreal or impossible to my experiences lmao.
The way the husband casually splits his daughter’s meal between him and his wife implies that this is often how the family dinners end. Perfect addition to the sketch
And Joan Crawford was an internationally admired, Oscar-winning actress. And her two oldest children STILL couldn't stand her. Because she was monstrous.
She's great with her lines but she also enables other comedians to succeed, which I think leaves her unspoken a lot. There's a lot to say about being "there" in just the right way. Sketches are written differently now but I think Heidi Gardner does a good job of doing it in modern shows.
Yeah but this is part of the dysfunction: she allows it. Not only is the sketch funny but you can see how each character actually feeds into the dysfunction
Can I just finish a damn story? She obviously doesn't let him finish because she is so drunk. Orrrrrrr..... is it because she is so nervous and intimidated by the power he clearly holds. I mean what with being a Division Manager, driving that sweet Dodge Stratus and doing 100 pushups so quickly.
The mom is mousey and doesn't seem obviously at fault for anything, but I think part of why she doesn't always talk back is out of a sense of guilt about things like alcoholism and lying (the couple's relationship kind of reminds me of the way my mom would lie to my dad).
3:33 I love the laugh the audience gives at the way that ONE GUY in it laughs! Laughter gained by other people's own enjoyment = the function of humanity's need for comedy.
This sketch achieves a certain level of brilliant, Zen minimalist humor through grueling detail that I have NEVER seen in any other SNL skit. Honestly, this piece is something to be studied.
You are right..I feel that despite all the shouting and outward disgust, there's still a level of love and understanding..I noticed this subtle hint when the parents share the daughter's food when she storms off.. don't be surprised that , there's gonna be some batshit crazy sex afterwards...
Of all SNL skits i watched, hands down this one is easily the best. when Will said " i drive a Dodge Stratus" i exploded with laughter!!! so random and so awesome.
Adam Liban it's not really random. Men who are insecure tell what they feel is importa t about themselves to all the members of their households whenever they realize they are being disrespected. Instead of actually developing close bonds with their families. The baby boomers were taught that all a man has to do is work and consistently pay bills. It's very appropriate even that his rebellious child is a girl.
I was a Freshman in high school when this aired and this joke flew over my head. I am now older with a family and this has become so relatable its scary.
One thing that's helped me stop arguing with people: it's unprofessional. You can't really get away with that behavior in a work place. So you really have no business treating people like that when you're not at work either. Obviously, work is a bunch of bullshit. But it kind of helps to deter yourself from joining in the argument. The better choice is to walk away and let things cool down. Then make amends if possible. Personally though I think honesty fights should be more accepted in civilized society. Sometimes people really do deserve to get punched in the face. Like bullies for example.
This sketch is actually pretty accurate in how conversation and relationships work, or don't work in dysfunctional families. People are tense, take everything too personally, don't express their emotions well, etc. It exists. I am from a fairly dysfunctional blended family, where we never had dinners together, only lunches on Sunday. And the lunches usually had no one talking, or very little awkward conversation at best. Everyone just quickly finished their meal and left. We just didn't click for some reason.
I was about 15 when this aired. "I DRIVE A DODGE STRATUS!!!" had me doubling over with laughter in a way I didn't think was possible. I think my love for Will Ferrell was born that night. It was the first time I particularly took notice of how funny he was.
Yup, I was 16, and just started driving...my dad's Dodge Stratus. He never yelled it out, but I don't think I went a single weekend over a 2 year span where I didn't yell it at my fiends when I was picking them up.
Yeah, he is. This is one of Will Ferral's earliest things, he only became first known in the mid 90s when this skit came out. And the daughter's Sarah Michelle Gellar, and the mother's Kathryn Hahn, this is one of their first things too
Michael Richmond and you still watch this show you think is lame? go get laid for once virgin boy instead of crying about how the actors are acting lol
0:26 this proves how genius and incredible this sketch is. They hadn’t even said a word yet, no funny costumes or props or anything, only making subtle movements, and yet the audience already has a steady laughter going.

I was expecting a quick cold high trble slap on her mouthy cheek. Dont EVER talk to your mother like that. A slap so comprehensive...she might have to eat vegetables on the other side for a week.
All three of them are very good actors. Sarah Michelle Geller too. I have no idea how they could keep themselves composed through this whole skit without losing it.
Maybe it`s because they`re adults and getting paid good money to properly do a skit without ``losing it`` like some elementary school play. Even when they do ``break character`` it`s obviously staged because fans find the ``breaking character`` crap funnier than the skit.
This sketch unnerves me. Its so well done. No sound other than the utensils scraping ceramics just a little too frequently. The bursts of cacophonic rage. The cyclic nature. The lack of a setup or punchline. Lack of resolution. Lack of eye contact. And we have all experienced tension like this and it breaks my heart and fills me with tension and regrets. This is a hollow shell of a scene and it is just like how memories like this sit inside us. Simmering in a reflection equally as dark as ourselves. Sarah Michelle Gellar was perfect for the daughter of the two SNL alums. Dysfunctional family dinner indeed.
@@valleygirl2530 every second marriage ends in divorce, so I guess there are lots of families where they call each other names. I don't think it makes the people saying that any happier.
I remember seeing this when it first aired. The funniest thing to me (other than the "I DRIVE A DODGE STRATUS" part) was the audience member losing it at 3:34.
We were a lot more thick skinned about our comedy back then to laugh at ourselves. Don't worry, you always got the safe modern not funny SNL to watch that won't attack you if you want a chuckle.

I was honestly waiting for a “Don’t talk to your mother that way” and then a “Don’t raise your voice directly after”
Shadesword675 are you watching animated sitcoms again
Nah, telling the mom you wish she was dead is cool. Just dont insult his dodge stratus
I was expecting a quick cold high trble slap on her mouthy cheek. Dont EVER talk to your mother like that. A slap so comprehensive...she might have to eat vegetables on the other side for a week.
AHHH the clinking is driving me insane
Shamic Entertainment Thought it was just me
Shamic Entertainment The way people eat on tv is fucking annoying.
Shamic Entertainment all that clanking. I love this skit.
I stopped 20 seconds in because I couldn't take it.
It's apart of the skit that's the whole point tf
All three of them are very good actors. Sarah Michelle Geller too. I have no idea how they could keep themselves composed through this whole skit without losing it.
Maybe it`s because they`re adults and getting paid good money to properly do a skit without ``losing it`` like some elementary school play. Even when they do ``break character`` it`s obviously staged because fans find the ``breaking character`` crap funnier than the skit.

The mom just is constantly cutting her food
Aneroxic,,,cutting, but not eating
She also took all the cucumbers.
You are correct
I looked for this because this literally just happened in my family. I remember watching this as a teen, now I’m reliving it with my teen. 😭
This sketch unnerves me. Its so well done. No sound other than the utensils scraping ceramics just a little too frequently. The bursts of cacophonic rage. The cyclic nature. The lack of a setup or punchline. Lack of resolution. Lack of eye contact. And we have all experienced tension like this and it breaks my heart and fills me with tension and regrets. This is a hollow shell of a scene and it is just like how memories like this sit inside us. Simmering in a reflection equally as dark as ourselves. Sarah Michelle Gellar was perfect for the daughter of the two SNL alums. Dysfunctional family dinner indeed.
Very true thank god I have cool down to earth parents this shows building rage,bitterness and lack of empathy with amazing black comedy
"Shut up you drunken witch" LOL
JabberCT I drive a dodge stratus
Sarah Michelle going for the jugular! XD
JabberCT I hate you, you turd!
JabberCT calme toi. TOUT VA BIEN BRO.
Instant Savage over 9,000 !
That’s so sad. The mom is really nice. She’s just trying to communicate and they jump down her throat.
shut up you drunken witch
@@thezachman1 I DRIVE A DODGE STRATUS.
She is weak like h r Pickens
@@MichaelSmith-ug6qk Such a great reference. I want to use that in casual conversations.
It's passive aggression. She never lets her husband finish a damn story, lol.
Every line Sarah delivered was so believable but so hilarious at the same time. She nailed it 😂😂
I WORK TOO HARD FOR THIS! I WORK TOO HARD! I'M A DIVISION MANAGER!!
Mel Ortiz "assistant" manager
PEOPLE ARE SCARED OF ME !!!
I DRIVE A DODGE STRATUS
He's a regional manager.
Dwight:” I’m an assistant regional manager!!”
Michael Scott:” No. Assistant TO THE regional manager”
This gets my vote for best sketch in SNL history: perfect length, nobody breaks character, hysterical throughout.
Hilarious and emotionally painful simultaneously.
It’s definitely underrated. Always been a personal fav of mine.
Yep
This and pepper boy for best sketch
That "SHUT UP YOU DRUNKEN WITCH" came out of absolutely nowhere 😂
I never had the scary nerve to say that to my mother but I dreamt of it.
@@valleygirl2530 every second marriage ends in divorce, so I guess there are lots of families where they call each other names. I don't think it makes the people saying that any happier.
i love how i had to pause it to go eat dinner with my family and it was actually dysfunctional 😭
I remember seeing this when it first aired. The funniest thing to me (other than the "I DRIVE A DODGE STRATUS" part) was the audience member losing it at 3:34.
you have low IQ
3:34 - THAT LAUGH though
haha 😂
ernest747 It made the whole audience laugh 😂
ernest747 that profile pic xD
ernest747 I spent 5 minutes trying to blow that hair off my phone's screen.
Angel Jiminiam me too what the hell is that
"I can do 100 push-ups in 20 minutes!!!" 😂
5 times a minute 😂😂😂
That's actually not that bad
ya i lost it here too #pushups
@Langdon Alger of course but to get to a hundred needs stamina, i can do 30 in two minutes but after that every new one gets progressively harder.
Pssshh....I am up every morning at 6:45 riding the stationary bicycle! BIG TIME STUFF!!!
One of my top 5 SNL moment fer sure. Absolute perfect timing...and the sound mix is brilliant...
sad thing is i found this quite relatable
slateflash this gives me flashbacks of past holidays with family l...
Thank god im not the only one
Youre not wrong.and the pressure at the dinner table is so real.
We laugh about it but I bet that millions of American families experience that every day and that is so sad.
its true
John Elmot not just American families. it's pretty much the same everywhere in the world.
Lu haha no way...if any Indian kid ever called his dad a 'big fat turd' they'd never live to see another day
If you insult the Dodge Stratus, I have no sympathy
John Elmot like mine that's why..
My husband and I have been yelling, "I drive a Dodge Stratus!" at each other for over 20 years now. LOL
Classic and one of the best sketches ever
Hard to believe this has been 20 years ago
OMG !! i was 10 at that time but i feel so old right now
@@zakkxx1 10+20 =30. You're pretty much dead dude

@@Kostadin_Arolski You wanna buy some meth bro...got the kill
Actually, it feels like 20 to me
I feel personally attacked, god this was so uncomfortable
Flashbacks triggering your PTSD?
Just every family ever
We were a lot more thick skinned about our comedy back then to laugh at ourselves. Don't worry, you always got the safe modern not funny SNL to watch that won't attack you if you want a chuckle.
neoasura dont get me wrong it was funny
Mr. 8-Bit Doggo the fake all family love on tv is a very thin blanket to hide the reality; which is why shows like these impact us so hard
It’s all fun and games until you realize this is like your family
I love that I’m just discovering this in 2022 and it somehow is funnier majority of the skits I’ve seen in the past 10 years. Great delivery and writing 🤣
That is why my family doesn't have family dinner
I love it how they go back to cutting their food in a calm but... accentuated manner. Kills me every time xD.
I like at the end they take their daughter's plate and share the leftovers!! That is exactly what my parents did when I was living at home!
So sorry you are living on street now.
@@amritpalsingh3293 😂😂
I tought he'd say "works every time"
You notice he gave her all the vegetables and took the meat
Koen Buurman Yes, I sure did! Lol. Great minds think alike!
Will Ferrell should be in SO many more skits and movies. A true acting gem
I just wish the mom would stop slicing her damn food.
They do that to add tension to the scene. It’s supposed to make the audience irritated and on edge
Welp Dummies buddy this is an snl skit not a scorcese film lmao i highly doubt that
Mr Penis Okay
Mr Penis it definitely is, it’s the equivalent of crickets chirping
It's like the scene from American Beauty.
Exactly
KingVikram what's american beauty ?
KingVikram beat me to it
Niamh Mclarnon a movie, you can find it on Netflix. It's good, in my opinion.
KingVikram Also, watch Ordinary People...1981. This scene is like that entire movie.
One of my all-time favorite skits. "I drive a dodge stratus".......lmao....still gets me rolling everytime.
This feels exactly like the dinner scene in the movie “American Beauty”.
Very good call.
Yes it really does!!!
@@thisismagacountry1318 Suvari wasn't in that scene, moron.
@@slyjokerg Except this thread references "American Beauty" which is what WE'RE talking about. Just because YOU don't pay attention, as in most things in life, doesn't mean we aren't. You're feeling very stupid now, huh?
@@thisismagacountry1318 The topic was a particular scene from the movie, one in which Mena Suvari didn't take part, dumb fuck.
I wonder if today's audience would buy into a 30 second silence to open the skit. This is so classic.
Well probably, I mean, people are watching it now.
Good question. The attention span of the new generation is about 4 seconds, most of the time.
@@slyjokerg except the "new generation" are the ones watching this...
Difference today is they would all be looking at their silly cellphones!
@@violetholiday They are? I am not the new generation. Steve isn't. The very point this thread exists is because the previous generation(s) is asking the question.
At least they are sitting down together for dinner :)
Nice. Good point.
For me this just exemplifies excellent comedic timing - I laugh as uproariously during the silences as during the outrageous outburst - it's a perfect skit! thx SNL! :-)
I had a Stratus for almost 2 years, and had a bumper sticker that said "I drive a Dodge Stratus"
You win
Idk how Sarah, or any of them for that matter, never broke character once.
This skit was expertly executed.
The clicks of the plates with the knives and forks are literally a character
3:34 some random dude laughed and then everyone else laughed at that, that's how silent the skit was...
...and how uncomfortably real it is
The girl to the mom: "I Wish you were dead"
Me realizing that's the actress for Buffy: "oh honey...."
Whoever laughed in the crowd is what killed me😂
Right?? Especially at 3:33
Every time my teen daughter is becoming sad that I raise her solo I let her watch this and then we laugh
Single Mother or Father problems on purpose 😂
All the data shows she has a much higher chance of struggling through life, but go ahead and imagine you're doing things right.
