They weren't allowed to enjoy food so they were way off on that joke. The last podcast on the left did a amazing 3 to 5 hour deep dive on the cult from start to end and did some amazing research. I just feel bad for the poor ppl. After T passed doe (marshal) turned it towards suicide rather than the monk like lifestyle they had while T was alive
I remember watching this when it came out. I also remember there was nike commercial that was also on this same snl episode. It started with the Beatles "Revolution" song. Then it showed all the footage of the dead cult member lying there in their Nike's. Then ended with "Just do it".
@@throwawayavclubber7269 Possibly my memory is incorrect. However I don't recall "Keds" shoes having a well known slogan. Plus all the decesed cult members were wearing Nikes.
It wasn't "nutbag" behavior to them (the HG people). Most of them did the deed because they didn't see any reason to continue their lives in this world. Whether there is a "life after" or not, they consciously made the decision to self-euthanize when they saw fit to do so. Though, to be perfectly honest, I'm torn. I believe that there is always a reason that can be found to keep living life here, but I also, oxymoronically, see that the decision to take one's own life (and death) into their own hands has value. One of the main regrets would, of course, be the effect it has on those who they'd left behind.
@@fahhhque2255 I don't know you, but I like your reply. I was 16 when it happened and heard it on the news - it was definitely shocking and I couldn't wrap my mind around why so many would want to off themselves (I suffered depression on and off). The next weekend I saw the comedy sketch. I wasn't offended, but didn't laugh either. Just thought it was silly and what a crazed, f*cked up leaders they were. Most of his followers might as well have been too. Applewhite and Nettle wanted total control over sheeple and they got it. Sickening. The followers weren't using their rational minds. I hate this rampant wokeness that has pervaded our culture, so screw everyone else. Thanks for not being afraid to post and go against the PC entourage.
This was society, in general, not just SNL. The saddest thing, at the time, was the stigma it gave to Nike and wearing purple. Other than that, it was a joke to everyone. Different times. I was 17.
I swear I was looking for this comment you are amazing. I started listening to them about a year ago and can't stop. I just hit their second take on heaven's gate. It just turned 2020 and I can't wait to how they talk about covid anytime now
@@ham7357 "pc culture" babe it was literally a cult that committed mass suicide. it wasn't received well then or now. really don't know how u wanna pull that one off as like extreme sjw shit or something lmao
@L Ly i can be upset about both, fun fact !! and making fun of it is worse than killing people, of course, but it's not justifiable reasoning by any means. thanks tho !
I disagree that it's disrespectful. They happily killed themselves.They enthusiastically sought this out. If they were depressed and killed themselves then yes, it would be disrespectful to mock them. These people were acting like they were going on a road trip like "YAY DEATH! WOOP WOOP". How can you not make fun of that? It's obnoxious and they were happy to do it.
They were beyond stupid... I don’t feel bad... They listened to another random human being claiming he was a Messiah and then proceeded to say let’s kill ourselves... why feel bad for complete insanity..
While I definitely don’t think serious issues should be minimized or joked about too soon after said tragedy, I still think this is pretty funny. While it’s questionable to make fun of the disciples being manipulated, I am all for making fun of self important narcissistic insane cult leaders like Applewhite. We have parodied major leaders of all kinds for less, and Applewhite definitely deserves every bit of ridicule he gets and deserves to be a laughing stock.
Does anyone know how to find the Nike revolution commercial parody? It was on this same episode but I can't find it anywhere, Beatles copyright I'm sure..
Homeboy that shouts Deep Space 9, in real life the dude who committed suicide that he is portraying in this skit was the brother of the actress who played Uhura from the original Star Trek.
It was done like 20 years ago, those actors are no longer in snl, they were in snl like 20 years ago, what a lack of respect to those families who lost their loved ones.
thanks for the info on that and also for the sensitivity to the families. I know that the membership had that right and were of full sound mind as I was with them for 19 years but that's a matter of experience and belief I understand, but what isn't debatable is that these kinds of comedy don't really care who they offend. It's all about their bits and ratings from their viewers. That's the state of this world in general about anyone. Most of the families had long ago adapted as we had two visits to families in 1985 and 1987. There were a couple exceptions I know of among the few that joined in 1994 and the one who joined in 1996.
Looking back on this this kind of in poor taste like they have mental health issues and killed themselves I understand the times were different back then but there's a reason it's not on the SNL page
last podcast on the left! they did a 3-episode series on Heaven's Gate and references this snl clip which is why a lot of their listeners started flocking to it recently lol
Absolutely agree. Horrible to think that people think a sketch being funny is more important then the tactlessness of a tragic event and the devastation of the family members. Grow a heart ye bastards.
@Jack Bones They were incredibly vulnerable, so I don't think following their suicides they deserve to be mocked, but should be an example of pity and how far humans can go. Please show some respect, you clearly aren't educated to make a statement that he sounds 'suicidal' merely due to the fact he's complaining about how while somewhat funny, this is childish and insensitive.
Who came here after the new documentary heaven's gate cult of cults I loved SNL back then but when I look back on this I kind of feel bad for them even though they were delusional it's clear they have mental health issues plus got manipulated by a cult leader
But we must have freedom of speech to be able to comment on anything and everything! If we don’t like it or agree with it that is fine but stop the cancel culture and oppression!
@@an0970 Held accountable for making fun of people on a tv show? Lol it’s not like they caused the biggest mass suicide in the history of the us. Oh wait… sounds familiar
I can only imagine your brainwashed, terminally-offended self lisping "disrespectful" with your cliche morally superior mentality. Are you a Millennial? They are like a return to the Victorian Era, Victorian Era and the New Puritans. Funny how the Regressive Left is obsessively anti-religious, yet act like the most hypocritical oppressive fanatics out there only using their dumb political views and agenda in place of religion. *GROSS!* These people 100% agreed to do this and were happy to leave this life. Was it sad for their families? Yes, but this skit plays that they had successfully gone into their version of heaven together(as they wanted to be) and what they believed was true. I can think of no other better solace to the families after this tragedy(for the families), than that their loved one triumphed in their life goals and are eternally happy. Hey people visit psychics and pay hundreds to thousands of dollars to be told the same damn thing. This was free as it was paid for ultimately by advertisers. Watch these people's exit statements. This wasn't a "Jonestown," hold a gun to your head, forced situation.
MontcomHorror wow, to actually articulate " I can't think of any better solace for the families than to see their loved one made it to the other side" How ignorant and unsympathetic. The family?is of these victims tried desperately to convince their loved one out of mass suicide. If they saw this wack and laugh less skit they would be SICKENED!! PERIOD! What immorality posses your spirit to make such a disgusting claim seem reasonable..?? Wow

Funniest skit ever -Hammond as Ted Koppell is priceless
We made it!!
Neede more jokes.
Hammond was the only one I’ve seen who ever did a convincing Koppel. He and Bill Hader are the best impressionists SNL ever had.
Tooooo funny!! Too crazy to not make fun of😂😂😂
Right.
Still wrong
I find the situation very sad and I find the sketch funny both at the same time. We are capable of having complex feelings about things
They are not mocking,they are saying what if they made it
people like that should be mocked
The castration thing!
I was way off on that. 😆
Cause they were monastics, thinking they could transcend human needs like sex and food.
Lmaooo... I just seen all of this .. even the heaven gate story... Lol this was great 😂
You literally just found out about the Heaven's Gate story?
Probably the best snl sketch done.
