agree, the one when he was drunk and disgustingly horny was his best skit as a woman he nails it also reminds me of my old math teacher... she wasn't a looker.
Holy geez.. you’re absolutely right. Never thought that but you’re spot on. But weekend update with wiig as the singers who forget to write the songs is also his best stuff too. He’s overall one of my faves

I was a court reporter for many years. Some of the craziest stuff I ever heard was while court reporting. The hardest part of the job was keeping a straight face or not bursting out into laughter. And if you know me, you know that was no easy task. Lol

I have worked with elinda. "I can't find my crackuuuurs...guess where they were........in my pockeeeet". Those people that announce everything they do or are about to do to everybody:"I'm going to the restrooms. I have to print these out later. I think I'll have coffee but I did bring my own mug". What I admire is that they really don't care if you respond or not or if they are disturbing you. Quite content in their little bubble and still getting their work done.
@@user-km9bx3gf3z 😂Nah.. I love fleshing out characters for fun. I have worked with the Elinda-type but the above is all made up😁It's a backstory I created for this SNL Elinda. Because I am bored
@@user-km9bx3gf3z Fred breathes life into Elinda. Elinda herself is a very flat character. She doesn't give anything; it's up to whoever thought her up to bring her to life. She gives very little material so that leaves plenty of room for an imaginary backstory. Elinda could be anything or anyone, really. I wonder what Fred's backstory is for Elinda. What if Elinda was based on his favourite aunt, for instance? Aunt Cathy. Who never married, never had a serious partner. Always apologetic without needing to be. Extremely so. Like when we all sing happy birthday and we get to the 'hip-hip'-part and we all say 'hurray'-followed by aunt Cathy's quiet yet audible apology: 'sssorry...was a 'hurray-ing' too loud?'. I mean, what do you say? Such an odd question. I thought it was some running joke. She does it every time. That's why Aunt Claire always said the family realizes that Cathy is a bit ..peculiar but, you go with it. So they indulge her quirks and say 'what? No ofcourse not, Cathy! I barely heard your voice...it blended nicely with the rest'. And it's not like they pretend to be in on some joke. No; Aunt Cathy is genuinely worried about sticking out from the crowd in any capacity. Which makes her stand out all the more. Last I heard, aunt Cathy had quit her job as a cashier at Costco's. Says she wants to be a stenographer. That's what I always liked about aunt Cathy; when she says she's gonna do something: she does it. No matter how bat shit crazy it is to work at Costco's for 30 years and embark on careermove at age 54.
I love Fred as "Elinda Nade" and his facial expressions sooo much!!!! I know they made two sketches of this. I wish they'd make more!!!!! I've watched these two skits several times because I love it sooo much!!! Please make more!!!!!
Murder while sleepwalking and sleep driving is actually an area where there is great legal uncertainty. Fred is hilarious already but the fact that the court case in this skit is so closely based on real events makes it more realistic and much funnier the more you think about it.
It's actually really interesting, they have specific abbreviations on the machine to make it faster to type. You have to learn an entire new keyboard and have to have a really high typing rate!
It can be very challenging at times, but it's an interesting job. I didn't find this sketch funny at all, probably because I've had much funnier experiences in a real courtroom. However, Fred is great as a woman.
@@bonnieabbzug Yeah, I agree with you. Thirty-five years working in court and depositions with lots of funny stuff happening, but I did not find this funny at all. However, I do appreciate the focus on the court reporter for a change in a courtroom scenario. :)
The funniest part of this whole thing is you assume they just put a typewriter in because they were lazy- but then prosecution specifically asks why Fred is using a typewriter!! XD
Idk, I can admit that objectively this is probably funny, but rather than laugh, it made me annoyed at the stenographer... I'm not good with people like that I guess...
As a court reporter the only thing that has ever made me crack from my stern face was when the attorney said, "So because they are both black, you thought they were friends?" I just couldn't hold it. 🤦🏾♂️
Haha 😂 you seem so amazing 😍 I love your comment and I really appreciate your sincere support to my Hollywood career 😊 thanks so much sweet and loving fan 💋 where are you watching from?
Fred captures a certain buddy duddyness that is hard to achieve. His timing is exquisite! He's old school genius and I hope he exploits it for the benefit of all; we need him now!
Fred's face when he's typing is the stuff of nightmares lol!!!
😂😂😂
Loooool
"It's not me; it's the machine." That voice😂
Reminds me of the og RUclips video muffins
😂😂😂😂😂
It’s weird watching Kristen Wiig in a sketch where she’s so passive
Yea this was actually the first time I realized how good of an actress she is...I could actually picture her doing a serious role
It definitely lets you focus on how beautiful she is. When she's not being so darn outrageous LOL
And not acting weird
@@Ramonerdna She's gonna be awesome in Wonder Woman 84 whenever that comes out
You mean normal 😂
"I need a giggle break." - Literally me all the time.
Fred's best skits are when he's a woman - he does it so well 😂

HEY! I AM YOUR MOTHAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
well.. there is also a skit where he is a cat and thats one of the best too.
i dont understand how someone can sit down there calmly without laughing while watching this.
Look at keenan. He's breaking at times
He needed a giggle break 🤣
Someone with severe depression like me? Its not a choice. Its funny but i didnt laugh....😥
yeah, they are using commercial grade steroids to suppress their laughters😂

"I'm your mother!"
@Namy no. no. no. noo. Don't you say that. Don't you DARE say that. HEY! I AM YOUR MOTHER! I AM YOUR MOTHEEERRRRRRRRR!!!
I gave birthhhh to youuuuuuu😂😂😂😂
Zac looked so scared at that episode.
What was that word again?
Lmaooooooooo
"your a bad lawyer, I'm a bad judge, but who cares, we're just deciding if people go to jail or not". probably the most clever line ever!!!
Good he admits it. A lot of people won't.
so fucking clever, i can't take it
Yes, that was kind of fascinating. It pretty much summed up life.
You butchered the line
"your" ha ha
This stenographer is a hoot
Fred Armison is a comic genius. 😂
@Jrod Jrod
and Candace
...and a half...!!!
are you on an snl spree
😆
Fred Armisen is a VASTLY underappreciated GENIUS.
Frrrrrr
He is so funny
Not really. It's pretty well known how amazingly talented he is.
He is. And Jon Hamm is an overrated actor, in my opinion.
Nah, he's hit or miss, mostly miss. This was a hit.
The absolute best thing about this sketch is Armisen's facial expressions when he types.
The vibrating head and pursed lips 🤣
Fred's stenographer is one of the funniest impressions I've ever seen.
He looks like the trans in the WH
"Why are you using a typewriter instead of a stenograph?"
"So what...who cares?"
Haaa!
Because props didn't have one.
Fred Armisen is one UUUUGLY woman. Cracks me up every time 😂😂😂😂
Still a prettier woman than me xD
Fred dressed as a woman in the Russian bride skit is probably my fave
+Phoebe Pham oh check out a sketch where he is playing a passionate woman whom her boyfriend brings tohis family
you mean Regine lady? ^^
+Phoebe Pham yes :) and also "new girlfriend"
A perfect example of why a certified stenographer is so important!!
What is more important is that you understand the concept of what we call HUMOR. jesus christ.
I'd actually go to jail just so Jon Hamm could be my lawyer
EASTERN EUROPEAN ORPHAN ur a 33 year old virgin
I wouldn't.
Now if he were an inmate, then I'd go.
Omg my thoughts exactly
Lol
You'll be sentenced coz he is an actor😂
I love you Fred 😂😂😂😂
Haha 😂 you seem so amazing 😍 I love your comment and I really appreciate your sincere support to my Hollywood career 😊 thanks so much sweet and loving fan 💋 where are you watching from?
Fred is awesome!
How are you doing ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
"I need a giggle break…"
I used to do court stenography for a living and find this sketch hilarious! 🤣🤣🤣
I am a student for court stenography!
No way! I have been saving for years to buy a stenograph!
@@kylesechrist me too!
I am a stenographer. Lmao. “Why are you using a typewriter instead of a stenograph?” 😂😂😂

Of course, Sheldon.
i thought that too
ashramshef ...... So what?

admire the guy behind fred for not even cracking a bit

This one never gets old. Too bad Fred wasn't hired for the Depp trial.
Fred would've put Amber Turd in her place.
Joyce G
The stenographer they hired was a (middle aged) Depp fangirl.

The giggle break almost break everyone out of character
That face though😂 when she types. LMFAO
Fred is so cute!
YAY. I'm not crazy.
He is adorable!!!
He seems to always prefer women’s roles
Well, if he’s happy playing those roles, then that’s what matters!
and he is amazing at them!
Nahh but he does them very funny
@Hafiz Zifah girl what are you talking about
Yes but he do it so well omg !!!
First sketch I've watched where Kriaten is not the crazy one, good job Fred 😂👍
You have to be blessedly talented to carry a five-minute SNL sketch by yourself, and the rest of the cast are just trying not to break character
being a court stenographer, would be a really hard job, i would be thinking, slow down, sloooowww down, i cannot type that fast---LOL
It's actually really interesting, they have specific abbreviations on the machine to make it faster to type. You have to learn an entire new keyboard and have to have a really high typing rate!
250 words per minute!
Such an insane job those people are so talented

Hilarious but I also see my ADHD self in the stenographer .. I used to take minutes in board meetings and I was very distractible and slow! 🤔
I always thought Fred armisen was great at playing roles of women who sound like men and being in an awkward situation
can't beat Regine
I love how in every character Jon Hamm does, a little Don Draper always comes out.
I think what you're saying is that this uber-masculine stud has limited range as an actor. Who'd rather have him be a nude model!?
@@tangogent Nah, I like how he talks.
3:48 - lol, I love how you can see that he's just been typing random nonsense when the light comes through the paper.
there is no way you don't laugh at this, no matter how many times you see it 😂
Aurora Winter ikr. I'm laughing so hard.
Yoshiki G fred armisen is so great lol
Idk, I can admit that objectively this is probably funny, but rather than laugh, it made me annoyed at the stenographer...
I'm not good with people like that I guess...
only faintly amusing.
This sketch was not funny in my opinion, I didn't laugh once
Not a lot of comedy content actually makes me genuinely laugh but the way the stenographer makes his face like that is so funny
how is the cast not dying from laughter omfg
Because none of this was funny
@@MrEquusQuagga fred was hilarious
@@shavontayikerria9351 no
Is it weird that I know a person like this?
I love how SNL diminishes the legal system so accurately.
"No-one is good at their job."
This is true.
Is it weird to say I love Fred’s outfit ...bag ...shoe combo
No. I was just thinking: "Where dud she get that bag?"
Fred Armisen is the best, especially when playing a woman xDDDD
How Kristen Wiig doesn’t lose it when looking at Fred is a miracle. 😂
Discipline
absolutely the golden snl cast!!♥
The gentleman just behind Fred looks as if he is having an existential crisis.......he is sooooooooo done with everything
Got a chance to meet Fred in Portland. Very nice warming guy from the couple minutes i had.
Jon Hamm SNL skits rarely disappoint.
That actor always plays the judge and i always stop paying attention to the skit cause of his facial expressions during it
Judge is trying not to laugh
That was a hell of a sketch. Hilarious acting this man is such a great actor. Wow
2:33 the guy on the exteme left has a amazing bone structure.
direct me. if you wanna see some bone structure
yeah and on top of that - super handsome!
And the girl @ 0:36 is incredibly gorgeous!

No, he hasn’t. Lmao. He’s not that old.

Fred was so crazy that Kenan and Kristen went down like totally normal people and Bobby was somewhere there too
I cant find my hair brush..i can't find my hair brush..😂😂😂😂
Whenever I need a giggle break I just come here lol
I just realized that this is how it was in the past. Imagine that loud sound during a trial...
Kenan: Listen, no one is good at their job.
Literally me defending myself at work for no reason.
We need more stenographers like this 😂
drew gooden brought me here. well, recommendations brought me here but you get it if you get it
🤣😂🤣"I can't find my crackers"🤣😂😂
Did this video pop up on anyone else's feed right after watching Drews SNL video?
Yep
Yeah, a bunch of seven-year old SNL sketches are popping up on my recommended after his video, this included.
Fred captures a certain buddy duddyness that is hard to achieve. His timing is exquisite! He's old school genius and I hope he exploits it for the benefit of all; we need him now!
this is one of the funniest skits out of the entire show
Love how the judge is on her side..
When i almost thought I've seen every single SNL clip
RUclips recommended this.
I love how the summary in the description is just "Crackers is missing"
That dude in jury front right to the left of armisen's shoulder is REALLY focused on trying not to laugh.
Fred is the best ❤
Fred is a comic genius for real.
I could NOT be in the background of that skit without loosing it 🤣
god, I miss this cast. i miss this show being good.
aren't you original 🙄
The court room set pieces have seen some of the best sketches on SNL
Hilarious!!
It’s interesting to see a court stenographer gathering all the attention as normally they do their jobs in the background.
We prefer it that way usually but this is hilarious! 🤣
This needs to be a movie🤣🤣🤣👏👏👏👌
I can't stop watching this. So funny😅
Best aggressive typing I've ever seen! 🤣
Fred Armisen is bomb!!!!!
I’ve been looking for this for years. Ever since I saw it on tv years ago. So glad this is on the internet
You are amazingly charming with words ..🥰 and I feel so blessed and happy each time I come across fans like you.. 😘. Where are you watching from....?
Fred just played up-straight Carol Beer... ;-)
