Gotta be honest Scott, when I first found your channel I thought it'd have millions of subs, when I saw the actual count I was stunned, your humor and video format is off thar charts and I can tell your gonna make it big one of these days, keep grinding Mr. Cramer!
Ya know, Scott, one of these days I'd love to see you pull a fast one on us with the sponsorship segment. Maybe something like "(Standing by your bed, in a similar framing to the ad read in this video) Speaking of beds, you know what one of my favorite activities is?

I love the blues brothers and honestly had no clue it was a direct spin off of NSL. It's one of my favourite movies and I grew up watching it all the time. I'll never forget the first time my dad put it on warning me it's full of swearing. I expected some boring drama movie because usually if my parents put on a movie just for them it was lame at that age (I was 8.) I was fucking blown away, and it is even better as an adult. Classic movie and wish more people my age knew it.
@@carlitosway471 that movie full on fucking traumatized me as a kid. I couldn't stop crying I was so scared of them. I picked it out at blockbuster thinking the cover looked fun, my mom heard it was funny so thought we could try it out. She was disgusted by the humour, between that and my crying we turned it off after 30 minutes. I had nightmares for weeks about the dad unhinging his jaw and eating my feet.
Fun fact, sorry if maybe someone else has already posted this but Bill Harder spoke about being asked to write a Stefon movie and he explains when interviewed on the podcast Fly on the Wall with David spade & Dana Carvey Harder said exactly what you said... A sketch doesn't work as a movie. Thanks for the video, as always I love it!
I don't even consider those to be sketches. Stefon is a side piece for the Weekend Update portion of SNL. In my opinion, they should do away with all of the interviews. I never consider them funny. It's possible they were in the '70s and '80s.
@@NicoAnimation they were really understanding. Check out the podcast to hear the details. I think it was about understanding that a bit or a sketch doesn't always translate to a movie and that's okay.
@@FTChomp9980 Welcome to Good Burger, home of the Good Burger, can I take your order? but my favorite Kel line is "Who loves orange soda?" but it's from a totally different sketch
I might be wrong, but I remember in the snl oral history, I think Lorne Michaels mentioned that nobody liked the idea for a movie, but nobody could stop Julia Sweeney from making it because she owned the character. It is the only snl movie that isn't produced by universal or paramount and the only one where Lorne Michaels is not credited as a producer
when i was a kid i had a HUGE phobia of coneheads, my stepdad had the dvd and the cover scared me so much that every time i saw it on the shelf i would break down in sobs. i'd completely forgotten about both the movie and the fear, probably repressed into the dark creases of my brain. but thanks to this video i know that that phobia is still very much alive. so thank u for that scott!
Oh my god I had something sorta similar 😭😭 when I was little me and my mom would go to the dvd rental place and every time I’d walk past the coneheads dvd and it scared me so bad I swear
I'm a huge Blues Brother fan. HUGE. Your comment about waiting for a punchline is funny because it just shows how much SNL has changed. If you watch the original season, SNL wasn't strictly a comedy series. It was a variety show. We still see remnants of this with the musical guests, but the Blues brothers weren't the only more serious act to go on. SNL also offered George Carlin the opportunity to host full time, they were very much experimental in the old days. From the perspective of someone who is familiar with SNL looking back I can totally see why you would be expecting a joke or something, but watching it at the time we didn't really know what to expect. The show was so fun and weird and experimental back then, and they eventually just settled into sketch comedy
I think the comedic aspect about the Blues Brothers movie was the deadpan delivery. The most ridiculous crap would happen and they’d just keep moving on as if it wasn’t a surprise. I didn’t grow up with old SNL but they way that the movie provided slapstick comedy in the most serious delivery was truly amazing. Not to mention, the songs were 🔥
@@StayEmilino it's an all time great movie IMO. I still watch it all the time. It always kills me when they're in this giant chase scene with cops through the mall and they're just commenting on all the new stores that have come in.
@@bananawitchcraftWhat they meant was that George Carlin didn’t host the way hosts work today. He wasn’t in any sketches, he just came out and did some standup 4 or 5 times throughout the show.
I honestly had no idea that Blues Brothers was snl inspired. It is one of favorite movies of all time. Probably my favorite comedy, highly recommend. The music is great, there is surprisingly awesome car chases and great comedy
Came here to say this. Although I knew it was from a sketch (admittedly from Drake and Josh lol) it is still an objectively good film. Definitely the best musical comedy film imho.
Ted Lasso being a 3-season spin-off from an NBC Sports ad skit was mesmerizing. I hope the process of what they did to Ted Lasso should be applied to doing these SNL skits-to-movie installments
Blues Brothers still has a strong cultural hold in Chicago. After Sox games they play their cover of Sweet Home Chicago, people quote it all the time and so on. Also, the people in the band were in the SNL band so it was cool to see those guys act in the movie and play. Genuinely great musicians.
Grew up in Aurora and so Wayne’s World and Blues Brothers are classics to me. Same with Ferris Bueller. Chicagoans love movies about our city so it’s no surprise we supported these two were so successful especially with SNL’s Second City history.
@@StayEmilino have to throw in the rest of the John Hughes Chicago area films… The Breakfast Club, Uncle Buck, Home Alone, Sixteen Candles. Classics. I’ll even throw Curly Sue a bone, lol.
You briefly showed Ted Lasso at the end when talking about just the cast members going on to other projects, but what is interesting is that the character of Ted Lasso is also based on a sketch just not an SNL one. A few years ago Jason Sudeikis did a sketch for NBC, who were promoting soccer games coming to their platform. It was like a 7 minute sketch featuring this new character called Ted Lasso. In fact, a few of the jokes from that sketch also made their way into the TV show.
At first, I was hesitant because I knew it was based on a commercial so I waited to start watching the show until the whole first season out and I got to read some reviews to see if it was worth it. Well, the answer is definitely yes. It's amazing.
The days of SNL characters being iconic Country wide figures are far gone but back in the 80s and 90s each successful sketch was known in every office an school yard in the country. Everyone from little kids to elderly people quoted them and at least had a passing knowledge of who the characters were. That's what made the few movies that worked successful. I don't think that magic could be recaptured
Yeah, it does feel like a bygone era now…. Damn, that makes me feel old 😂 Too much media available now for anything to be so uniformly culturally significant. Kinda miss that, the nostalgia is great though. Back in my day (walking to school, in the snow, uphill both ways, etc), we had NBC, ABC, CBS (Fox had a come up with Married w/ Children and BH90210), and super basic cable, so we were all watching the same things. Makes for great nostalgic moments for us elder millennials, but it’s a rarity these days… I’d say GoT came close, kind of The Soprano’s level, everyone’s talking about it the day after. I think having whole season drop at once also makes a difference, it’s 1 time hype vs. 10 weeks of hype. Episodic dropped shows just take more space in our memories, individually and collectively. And before that, they legit had 3 channels that just shut off at like 10pm, at least I had reruns of Roseanne and Night Court to keep me up, lol.
I think that’s more because there were fewer things to watch. The same way EVERYONE watched American Idol; in the early seasons, you would show up to work/school the day after an episode aired, and everyone would be talking about it. That doesn’t happen at all today with basically any TV show, because of the sheer quantity of shows out there to watch.
I feel it's like how professional wrestling is now as well. Think back to the 80s and 90s and maybe early 2000s if you grew up then. I never watched wrestling at all, but I still knew most of them just from culture osmosis. Try to ask me now about current pro wrestlers and I'd have no idea. Does SNL even still have recurring character sketches?
There's actually TWELVE movies based on SNL sketches. You missed one. Office Space. Yes, Office Space was based on an *animated* sketch by Mike Judge on SNL centering around the character "Milton" (yes, the character that Stephen Root plays in the movie.)
Its probably because I didnt grow up in the US but I didnt realize the Blues Bros was an SNL movie. Amazing film that, and with what remains one of the greatest soundtracks of all time.
i grew up in the US and my dad is both a fan of old SNL and adores the blues brothers and i didn’t know it was an SNL movie. so it’s probably not your fault
A Night at the Roxbury is actually my favorite movie 😭 the music, the aesthetic, the nostalgia of watching it as a kid, and I feel like I catch a new funny little joke every time I watch it
Coneheads, as with a lot of these SNL movies, definitely falls into the “had to have been there” category and is also an acquired taste. I was about 15 when it came out and it was kinda perfect timing. Beavis & Butthead, Wayne’s World, Dumb and Dumber…all very nostalgic for me.
I absolutely love the Blues Brothers and Wayne’s World, but I’m from Chicago so it definitely has some added charm. You didn’t need to know the SNL history to like them and they’re truly some of my favorites.
as someone who is also from chicago, i’ve heard that people from illinois especially love blues brothers because it was filmed in chicago so we take great pride in that lmao
Cone heads is a classic. Love that movie. It’s literally just a normal sitcom stretched to a movie but the main characters have weird heads. It’s brilliant
Superstar was one of my favorites as a kid. I didn’t even have a concept of it being an SNL spin off, just really loved it. I’m sure it didn’t age well but it’s very nostalgic for me
@@nicholas7695the superstar sketches in SNL were so bad to begin with, they literally let Molly Shannon do any crap she wanted on SNL those years after they fired Sandler, Farley etc, there was barely any quality control, and the movie Superstar is equally worthless, absolute disaster
That movie was a stoner classic. I saw that movie and laughed my ass off and that fact they got the guy from deadwood to play his step dad.. I wasn't a much fan of coneheads and ladies man.
when i was little my family used to go to a local video store all the time... they always had coneheads out on vhs/dvd and the cover scared me every time we walked past it
Blues Brothers is a classic. It's not as silly as all the other skits. Some of the greatest car chase sequences ever put to film and some genuinely great musical acts.
I LOVE Blues Brothers! I was first introduced to that movie in 2006-- as well as 'Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure'-- when I was in contact isolation from illness. During that time my depression was at its worst, as I was also fighting to stay alive. Friends and family made a point to find as many comedies as they could for me, just to get me to laugh, and 'Blues Brothers' was one that reallt stuck with me. The music was great, the premise of having them working to save the orphanage was perfect for essentially a road trip film. And Cab Calloway was in it! I grew up with vhs tapes of Fleischer Studios cartoons, and 'Minnie the Moocher' was one of my favorites on it. So that was a lovely surprise. Point being: 10/10 would recommend.
@@Shinkajo Oh! I had nine back surgeries, and during that time I had MRSA develope. [Antibioic resistant staph infection.] Which in turn led to kidney failure, the artery over my intestant collapsing, and pancreatitis. All at the same time while I was also fighting the infection. It was 3 years of that, plus an additional year of waiting for getting the clearance to become a member of society again. So from 2005 to 2009. I was 13 years old at the time things started. I survived, clearly, but it has left me with disabilities to this day that I deal with. It took a long time to get used to being around people again, as I wasn't even really allowed to interact with my siblings much either. So a lot of it was having to find outside sources of happiness, as I wasn't able to focus long enough on things to draw or write-- my usual route of escapism. Which, again, led to depression and in turn discovering many comedies. Being able to laugh at the ridiculousness of life felt better than drowning in misery, ya know?
@@Shinkajo Here's to hoping it stays that way! I wouldn't wish what I went through on anyone. BUT, that all said, one person's suffering doesn't erase another's. I'm sorry that things have been rough for you, as well. Especially to the point of calling your life 'shitty'. I wish you nothing but happiness and for you to find as much enjoyment from life as possible.
The Plot of the Night of The Roxbury is two brothers who love to party learn how to grow up ever so slightly while keeping true to themselves along the way. And also Emilio Estevez is there! It’s actually iconic for the soundtrack, the cast, and the costumes always tickle me pink. But that’s someone who grew up with this, Austin Powers, and Zoolander. So I love that era :)
i’m not american, so never seen SNL, but blues brothers and wayne’s world are massive worldwide movies, i didn’t know they were originally SNL sketches wow
Not only did Wayne's World have box office success, but there were actually 2 theme park lands created from it. One at Carowinds and the other King's Dominion. The Carowinds park still has the Hurler branded roller coaster too.
I love the shout out to Jake and Amir!! Cause that was something I rewatched over and over and over when I was younger. Used to make me cry laughing and nobody else I knew watched it! Haha
Born in '88. Superstar and night at the roxburry were considered classics by the time I was old enough to watch that kind of content. I distinctly remember kids at my school doing the "smell my pits" bit from superstar in grade school. That shit was the height of comedy in suburban Canada in 1999.
I was born 8/8/88! 88 babies! But I'm confused because Superstar came out when we're in middle school..how was it considered a classic? I remember my friends went to see it without me (I was pissed) and they said I was the superstar chic (something I would be honored to have the title of now because I LOVE that actress) but I was very insulted back then. My "friends" were asshole bullies. Middle schoolers period are assholes. It came out in either 6th or 7th grade..I forget which year it was. I block a lot of that time out! Edit: ohhh..you meant the show 😂 my bad, I was still at the beginning and didn't even think about the show! I think the bullies traumatised me and now when I hear Superstar, I only remember the movie 😂
I'm Italian, so I have zero idea what all these shows are, and I didn't grow up with SNL. However, my dad showed me The Blues Brothers when I was a kid in the '90, and it became one of my favourite movies ever. I loved their humour and would keep rewinding the music scenes just to sing along with them, and I actually started playing instruments because of it. Also, I had no idea how USA looked like back then, but in my mind it was just musicians singing on the streets and car chases, so it seemed pretty fun as a kid, and I was begging my family to bring me to Chicago! It does really have a special place in my heart because of these reasons :)
Coneheads became an inside joke in my family, not because we ever saw it, but it was always displayed prominently in our local VideoEazy and my little sister was terrified of the front cover of the DVD
Blues Brothers were so popular that there was a live sizes model of the two, like fully 3d, just.. in my local Fuddruckers for no reason at all. Before it closed, that is.
So glad to read all the positive Coneheads comments. My dad loved that movie, and I remember watching it with him as a little kid, I thought it was a little weird because I was a little kid who didn't get nuance and comedy, but I have nothing but positive memories of that movie. I genuinely have no idea if it holds up, but I'm glad that other people liked it so I can hold on to that memory of watching it with my dad on the couch.
Speaking as someone who grew up in the Chicago suburbs in the 1980s, the Blues Brothers was absolutely a movie everyone had seen. It's still very well-regarded around these parts, as it was one of the first films really shot in (and showing off) Chicago. It's one of those films people would quote and everyone would pick up on it (especially, "It's 106 miles to Chicago. We've got a full tank of glass, a half-pack of cigarettes, it's dark, and we're wearing sunglasses." The backup band was a legimatiely solid band, too. Lead guitarist Steve Cropper and bassist Donald "Duck" Dunn played on a bunch of '60s soul classics (including Soul Man, which you refer to in the video). The Blues Brothers band was basically a bunch of ace session musicians who in the 1970s formed a band that became the SNL band (under Paul Schaffer), and then became the Blues Brothers Band (just without Paul Schaffer).
Blues Brothers was one of my all time favorite movies in my preteen years. As a teenager, I used to ask girls I liked if they wanted to come over and watch Blues Brothers with me as a pick up line
Dude, memory unlocked.. I remember constantly seeing Pat on blockbuster shelves as a kid, and it was my mom's name so I always looked at it. And I was always like "wtf.."
I can pretty much quote a night at the Roxbury from beginning to end. You're crazy. Superstar is super underrated no pun intended and the ladies man, I challenge anybody to watch that and not laugh.
The Blues Brothers is one of my all time favorite movies. My dad loves it, and he's had a huge influence on my life and my humor, so of course I do too. It's a classic to me that brings back a lot of cozy memories, plus it's just goofy as hell and super fun to watch. :))
I'm an aussie, and I watched both Waynes World and Coneheads as a kid and only learned that SNL is a thing on the internet as a teenager. So from my perspective, SNL is a spinoff of Coneheads
I’m your age and I grew up watching Blues Brothers with my dad. Easily one of my favorite movies of all time and I actively listen to the soundtrack on my playlists. Definitely formative to my sense of humor and music tastes.
If you've never heard anyone talk about "The Blues Brothers" you've never been to Chicago. Chicago LOVES the Blues Brothers. It's part of the fabric of the city. You could walk into any restaurant in Chicago and pretend to order 5 whole fried chickens and a coke and they'd more than likely get the reference.
John Belushi died when I was 15… sounds daft, but I was a fanatical fan. We used to dress up and go to showings of the movie on a regular basis. Even in suburban UK we had once a month showing of Blues Brothers and came dressed as characters. Can’t even tell you how devastated I was.
I loved listening to Dan Aykroyd hosting Elwood’s Bluesmobile on the radio, you could tell how passionate he was about the music and artists. I was sad when he retired the show in 2017, but apparently it had been running since 1993? Dude deserved a break! 😎
Superstar was my FAVORITE movie when I was little, I LOVED Coneheads, Blues Bros.... yeah, I like a lot of those silly movies. Lol but there's definitely a few I'd never even heard of! Loved this video, thanks!
"A third of these are about people with tv shows. What's that about?" Public access television was a cultural vein, giving people the ability to create their own platforms the way RUclips does today. On top of that, the cable and network television boom at the end of the 1980s saw a flood of tv shows just to see what would stick. So these SNL sketches about someone with a tv show were relatable.
The Blues Brothers and Night at the Roxbury are some of my favorite movies of all time let alone SNL spin-offs. They will always make me laugh and bring back fond memories.
I did not realise until now that Blues Brothers had anything to do with SNL. I'm from Europe and it's been randomly on tv since I can remember. As you might imagine SNL doesn't air in other countries like it does in the US. But somehow that movie is one of those movies that you watched as a kid cause it just was on the tv on a sunday afternoon.
It is crazy how much different my life has been than yours Scott, yet the big thing we both have in common is watching snl. Bringing the people together! Thanks for the vid dude.
The man's humor derives from three sources: 1) his manner of speech; 2) his strange commentary; and 3) the casual acceptance of the first two by viewers and associates, who never seem to catch on that he is still beating a dead Bednar.
I still stand by the Blues Brothers being my favorite musical and am so grateful my dad made me watch it with him when I was a kid...I'm also glad we never had the displeasure to watch the sequel 😅
I am a huge fan of Ween, the band that appears (playing themselves) in It's Pat. I am literally going to see them live tomorrow. I think them being in such a terrible movie honestly fits their style.
Kinda funny how Ween's two breakthroughs into popular culture were a crappy comedy that no one really remembers and also something far more beloved: SpongeBob.
The Blues Brothers is one of the greatest films of all time, great soundtrack, great cast, badass car chases and shit, just an excellent movie. Wayne's World is pretty good too.
I had no idea Wayne's World was originally a SNL sketch. My parents and I can quote most of the movie, even though it's about a decade older than me. It's one of my favorite movies of all time, I'd recommend anyone who hasn't seen it to go and watch it. I don't care as much about the sequel, but the first one is iconic.
May or may not have stayed up past our bedtimes at a sleepover when I was like 12 and watched “it’s pat” in secrecy on late night TV at a friends house. I’m 30 now and all these years later this video just sent me into a nostalgia time warp nightmare to that night. Thanks for this
Superstar and Night at The Roxbury are my guilty pleasures. i was a massive SNL fan and i still tune in every now and then with their new sketches. as an adult you can see the dip in quality over time but as a kid, comedy gold.
Even though it was part of the ad, thank you for name dropping Devin. I speak on behalf of all Devins when I say our name is hardly ever used in anything. You're the hero we all need.
Hair looks great, Scott! Blues Brothers works because they never had a skit on it. Blues Brothers 2000 was such a cash grab. Coming out almost 20 years after the first one. Did have a stellar cast though. I'll give em that much.
I love your channel Scott, you make some of the most enjoyable content to watch and it always turns a bad day into a better one. Haven't watched the video yet, but since I was so early I wanted to thank you for your work
I think with the blues brothers it’s iconic because it’s a watchable musical, the characters are iconic, the music is good and the people playing the characters were such great casting. I don’t know how but the blues brothers became a Christmas movie for my family. It’s such a good movie and they incorporated humour into the movie. Now blues brothers 2 was a choice, and that’s all I’ll say. It was a choice
SNL movies only go one of two ways. They're either absolutely hilarious and will forever be a classic or they are just absolute garbage water. There's not a single SNL movie that you watch and think, "Yeah I mean..that was alright I guess."
My dad showed me this movie when I was around 9 years old. I loved it ever since. Especially the Car Chase Scene! That was amazing work and so many cars wasted! It was Awesome!! Rest in Peace John Belushi.
I know in my heart of hearts that MacGruber isn't a good movie, but the gag where he writes down the license plate of someone who was a dick and later someone finds his notebook and sees he's been disturbingly obsessed with it, gets me every time
With the Blues Brothers on early SNL, you have to remember what a different show it was in 1976. Some of the segments weren't comedic at all, like the short films by Albert Brooks they played for the first year, so something like Blues Brothers wasn't at all out of character. It had its funny side (I still laugh at Aykroyd's frenetic cocaine dance during "Soul Man"), but it was also "serious" music because all of the band members were stone-cold blues and soul legends, and the album they put out was really solid. A lot of it had to do with Belushi's love of the blues. I think it was just a more freewheeling time when Lorne would let the cast members run with an idea to see how it worked out. Also, the movie had a huge impact on the pop culture of its day and the Blues Brothers became almost instantly iconic. It also had the unintended consequence of setting the bar as high as possible for any subsequent spinoff movies.
I can't believe Wayne's World 2 only grossed $48m at the box office. I love Wayne's World 2, maybe even more than the original. Also: it's absolutely bonkers that Night at the Roxbury is legitimately in the top 5 of all the movies based on SNL sketches, but here we are.
There goes my afternoon snack

@@bananawitchcraftWhat they meant was that George Carlin didn’t host the way hosts work today. He wasn’t in any sketches, he just came out and did some standup 4 or 5 times throughout the show.
@@waltascher right, and also that they wanted him to host full time. Rotating hosts feels like a core aspect of SNL
Ok so confession time: as a kid I used to demand my mom rent It’s Pat every time we went to Video City. So part of that $61k is from my mom. Sorry.
I honestly had no idea that Blues Brothers was snl inspired. It is one of favorite movies of all time. Probably my favorite comedy, highly recommend. The music is great, there is surprisingly awesome car chases and great comedy
Came here to say this. Although I knew it was from a sketch (admittedly from Drake and Josh lol) it is still an objectively good film. Definitely the best musical comedy film imho.
My dad and I will always order three orange whips at bars
@@krossbow_ haha nice you know every time I go to a restaurant I order three fried chickens and a coke
And Carrie Fisher is there
@@Darthvader468 very true, honestly the first time I saw her in something outside of Star Wars and she was great, had done of the best jokes
Ted Lasso being a 3-season spin-off from an NBC Sports ad skit was mesmerizing. I hope the process of what they did to Ted Lasso should be applied to doing these SNL skits-to-movie installments
Blues Brothers still has a strong cultural hold in Chicago. After Sox games they play their cover of Sweet Home Chicago, people quote it all the time and so on. Also, the people in the band were in the SNL band so it was cool to see those guys act in the movie and play. Genuinely great musicians.
It's 106 miles to Chicago, we got a full tank of gas, half a pack of cigarettes, it's dark... and we're wearing sunglasses.
Hello, fellow Chicagoan!
@@SevenFyrs hey, I’m also in Chicago! It’s nice to see a little gathering here :)
Grew up in Aurora and so Wayne’s World and Blues Brothers are classics to me. Same with Ferris Bueller. Chicagoans love movies about our city so it’s no surprise we supported these two were so successful especially with SNL’s Second City history.
@@StayEmilino have to throw in the rest of the John Hughes Chicago area films… The Breakfast Club, Uncle Buck, Home Alone, Sixteen Candles. Classics. I’ll even throw Curly Sue a bone, lol.
@@SevenFyrs gosh I didn’t even realize how many I’d left out. My favorite genre of movies is just anything set in Chicago! 😂
You briefly showed Ted Lasso at the end when talking about just the cast members going on to other projects, but what is interesting is that the character of Ted Lasso is also based on a sketch just not an SNL one. A few years ago Jason Sudeikis did a sketch for NBC, who were promoting soccer games coming to their platform. It was like a 7 minute sketch featuring this new character called Ted Lasso. In fact, a few of the jokes from that sketch also made their way into the TV show.
So it's a film based on a commercial lol
At first, I was hesitant because I knew it was based on a commercial so I waited to start watching the show until the whole first season out and I got to read some reviews to see if it was worth it. Well, the answer is definitely yes. It's amazing.
@@nesleehan5 it was way better than it should’ve been
The days of SNL characters being iconic Country wide figures are far gone but back in the 80s and 90s each successful sketch was known in every office an school yard in the country. Everyone from little kids to elderly people quoted them and at least had a passing knowledge of who the characters were. That's what made the few movies that worked successful. I don't think that magic could be recaptured
Yeah, it does feel like a bygone era now…. Damn, that makes me feel old 😂 Too much media available now for anything to be so uniformly culturally significant. Kinda miss that, the nostalgia is great though.
Back in my day (walking to school, in the snow, uphill both ways, etc), we had NBC, ABC, CBS (Fox had a come up with Married w/ Children and BH90210), and super basic cable, so we were all watching the same things. Makes for great nostalgic moments for us elder millennials, but it’s a rarity these days… I’d say GoT came close, kind of The Soprano’s level, everyone’s talking about it the day after. I think having whole season drop at once also makes a difference, it’s 1 time hype vs. 10 weeks of hype. Episodic dropped shows just take more space in our memories, individually and collectively.
And before that, they legit had 3 channels that just shut off at like 10pm, at least I had reruns of Roseanne and Night Court to keep me up, lol.
I think that’s more because there were fewer things to watch. The same way EVERYONE watched American Idol; in the early seasons, you would show up to work/school the day after an episode aired, and everyone would be talking about it. That doesn’t happen at all today with basically any TV show, because of the sheer quantity of shows out there to watch.
I feel it's like how professional wrestling is now as well. Think back to the 80s and 90s and maybe early 2000s if you grew up then. I never watched wrestling at all, but I still knew most of them just from culture osmosis. Try to ask me now about current pro wrestlers and I'd have no idea.
Does SNL even still have recurring character sketches?
David S. Pumpkins, though??
@@FrenkTheJoy definitely not David S Pumpkins, lol. He’s not a character as much as a caricature.
There's actually TWELVE movies based on SNL sketches. You missed one.
Office Space.
Yes, Office Space was based on an *animated* sketch by Mike Judge on SNL centering around the character "Milton" (yes, the character that Stephen Root plays in the movie.)
Its probably because I didnt grow up in the US but I didnt realize the Blues Bros was an SNL movie. Amazing film that, and with what remains one of the greatest soundtracks of all time.
i grew up in the US and my dad is both a fan of old SNL and adores the blues brothers and i didn’t know it was an SNL movie. so it’s probably not your fault
Blues Brothers is in my top ten and I had no idea either lol
I learned it was an snl sketch after seeing the Drake and Josh episode where they perform “soul man” lol
Don't worry! Us Americans had no idea either 🤣 as popular as SNL seems almost no one I know watches it.
I'm the same with Wayne's world
A Night at the Roxbury is actually my favorite movie 😭 the music, the aesthetic, the nostalgia of watching it as a kid, and I feel like I catch a new funny little joke every time I watch it
I don’t think he watched the same movie we did, it def is more DEEP then just some dude who has an arranged marriage
I broke the window again!
Same had no idea it was even a snl sketch
It’s the male version of Romy and Michele. They are both great movies
@@PunkSadieLady yes i love that movie too!
Coneheads, as with a lot of these SNL movies, definitely falls into the “had to have been there” category and is also an acquired taste. I was about 15 when it came out and it was kinda perfect timing. Beavis & Butthead, Wayne’s World, Dumb and Dumber…all very nostalgic for me.
I'm not even from the US and I didn't even know about SNL but I liked "The Coneheads" as a child in the early 90s.
Agreed! Coneheads was amazing! So many good one liners too. But definitely a product of its time.
Ren & Stimpy too!
Agreed! I liked it❤
I absolutely love the Blues Brothers and Wayne’s World, but I’m from Chicago so it definitely has some added charm. You didn’t need to know the SNL history to like them and they’re truly some of my favorites.
as someone who is also from chicago, i’ve heard that people from illinois especially love blues brothers because it was filmed in chicago so we take great pride in that lmao
Cone heads is a classic. Love that movie. It’s literally just a normal sitcom stretched to a movie but the main characters have weird heads. It’s brilliant
Great cast too! It's a real who's who of 90s comedy character actors.
I love it too
Exactly!
Superstar was one of my favorites as a kid. I didn’t even have a concept of it being an SNL spin off, just really loved it. I’m sure it didn’t age well but it’s very nostalgic for me
same
Honestly having rewatched it recently it holds up haha like the jokes are all still there you just have to push past the surface level of cringe
I love superstar
@@nicholas7695the superstar sketches in SNL were so bad to begin with, they literally let Molly Shannon do any crap she wanted on SNL those years after they fired Sandler, Farley etc, there was barely any quality control, and the movie Superstar is equally worthless, absolute disaster
I consider hot rod an SNL movie, and it is by far the best one
Hot Rod is S tier
That movie was a stoner classic. I saw that movie and laughed my ass off and that fact they got the guy from deadwood to play his step dad..
I wasn't a much fan of coneheads and ladies man.
I think the humor of the Blues Brothers was that they came out looking goofy and dancing goofy and were actually extremely talented.
when i was little my family used to go to a local video store all the time... they always had coneheads out on vhs/dvd and the cover scared me every time we walked past it
Same 😂😂😂😂
Why did it scare you ???
Same, but i also happened to watch the movie and it terrified me. 😭
Blues Brothers is a classic. It's not as silly as all the other skits. Some of the greatest car chase sequences ever put to film and some genuinely great musical acts.
I LOVE Blues Brothers! I was first introduced to that movie in 2006-- as well as 'Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure'-- when I was in contact isolation from illness. During that time my depression was at its worst, as I was also fighting to stay alive. Friends and family made a point to find as many comedies as they could for me, just to get me to laugh, and 'Blues Brothers' was one that reallt stuck with me. The music was great, the premise of having them working to save the orphanage was perfect for essentially a road trip film. And Cab Calloway was in it! I grew up with vhs tapes of Fleischer Studios cartoons, and 'Minnie the Moocher' was one of my favorites on it. So that was a lovely surprise.
Point being: 10/10 would recommend.
@@Shinkajo Oh! I had nine back surgeries, and during that time I had MRSA develope. [Antibioic resistant staph infection.] Which in turn led to kidney failure, the artery over my intestant collapsing, and pancreatitis. All at the same time while I was also fighting the infection. It was 3 years of that, plus an additional year of waiting for getting the clearance to become a member of society again. So from 2005 to 2009. I was 13 years old at the time things started.
I survived, clearly, but it has left me with disabilities to this day that I deal with. It took a long time to get used to being around people again, as I wasn't even really allowed to interact with my siblings much either. So a lot of it was having to find outside sources of happiness, as I wasn't able to focus long enough on things to draw or write-- my usual route of escapism. Which, again, led to depression and in turn discovering many comedies. Being able to laugh at the ridiculousness of life felt better than drowning in misery, ya know?
@@Shinkajo Here's to hoping it stays that way! I wouldn't wish what I went through on anyone.
BUT, that all said, one person's suffering doesn't erase another's. I'm sorry that things have been rough for you, as well. Especially to the point of calling your life 'shitty'. I wish you nothing but happiness and for you to find as much enjoyment from life as possible.
The car chase scene in Blues Brothers is so good, they must have destroyed 100 cars or more to make it.
I'm just gonna say this, MacGruber is criminally underrated.
Bro facts the double decker line is funny af still 😂
Yeah I have no idea why the movie failed.
@@Shinkajo bro corrected someone and wrote "frase" lol
@@nightgenerator beat me to it
@@Shinkajo don’t get so offended, no one cares English isn’t your first language…..
The Plot of the Night of The Roxbury is two brothers who love to party learn how to grow up ever so slightly while keeping true to themselves along the way. And also Emilio Estevez is there! It’s actually iconic for the soundtrack, the cast, and the costumes always tickle me pink. But that’s someone who grew up with this, Austin Powers, and Zoolander. So I love that era :)
EMILIOOOOO
i’m not american, so never seen SNL, but blues brothers and wayne’s world are massive worldwide movies, i didn’t know they were originally SNL sketches wow
Not only did Wayne's World have box office success, but there were actually 2 theme park lands created from it. One at Carowinds and the other King's Dominion. The Carowinds park still has the Hurler branded roller coaster too.
I love the shout out to Jake and Amir!! Cause that was something I rewatched over and over and over when I was younger. Used to make me cry laughing and nobody else I knew watched it! Haha
Tears of soy!
Wayne's World came out when I was in 2nd grade and I watched the VHS so many times that I can still fully quote the entire movie to this day 😂🤣
Born in '88. Superstar and night at the roxburry were considered classics by the time I was old enough to watch that kind of content. I distinctly remember kids at my school doing the "smell my pits" bit from superstar in grade school. That shit was the height of comedy in suburban Canada in 1999.
I was born 8/8/88! 88 babies! But I'm confused because Superstar came out when we're in middle school..how was it considered a classic? I remember my friends went to see it without me (I was pissed) and they said I was the superstar chic (something I would be honored to have the title of now because I LOVE that actress) but I was very insulted back then. My "friends" were asshole bullies. Middle schoolers period are assholes. It came out in either 6th or 7th grade..I forget which year it was. I block a lot of that time out! Edit: ohhh..you meant the show 😂 my bad, I was still at the beginning and didn't even think about the show! I think the bullies traumatised me and now when I hear Superstar, I only remember the movie 😂
I'm Italian, so I have zero idea what all these shows are, and I didn't grow up with SNL.
However, my dad showed me The Blues Brothers when I was a kid in the '90, and it became one of my favourite movies ever. I loved their humour and would keep rewinding the music scenes just to sing along with them, and I actually started playing instruments because of it.
Also, I had no idea how USA looked like back then, but in my mind it was just musicians singing on the streets and car chases, so it seemed pretty fun as a kid, and I was begging my family to bring me to Chicago!
It does really have a special place in my heart because of these reasons :)
Love hearing ur memory. My dad loves Blues Brothers, but for some reason I've never actually watched any of their work myself, I really need to.
@@pandap4ntz Thanks :) Sure, give it a try. A classic movie night is perfect for the cold season 😊
Coneheads became an inside joke in my family, not because we ever saw it, but it was always displayed prominently in our local VideoEazy and my little sister was terrified of the front cover of the DVD
Blues Brothers has a special place in my heart, it was the first movie my partner and I watched together and we’ve been together ever since!
What's kinda funny is It's pat was directed by Adam Bernstein who went on to direct 8 episodes of Breaking Bad
Breaking Pat
And Better Call Saul, including one of my favorite episodes in the Season 4 finale Winner.
@@rpandya97 yep
Plus direct many Scrubs episodes and the "Baby Got Back" music video.
9:39 Well, if you hear somebody say jokingly "We're on a Mission from GOD" or "We're getting the Band Back together" - That's from The Blues Brothers
I love the Blue Brothers. It always puts a smile on my face. The subtle humor is top notch.
Blues Brothers were so popular that there was a live sizes model of the two, like fully 3d, just.. in my local Fuddruckers for no reason at all. Before it closed, that is.
I was obsessed with coneheads when I was a kid lmao my parents had taped it on vhs and I watched it all the time lol
I remember loving it as a kid. The fireworks scene is still great.
It is actually a decent movie and he might have come to that conclusion if he actually watched it instead of reading a wiki article on it.
Are you my brother in law?
😂 I LOVED that movie!! Me and my sister were obsessed!
Same! Commercials and all lol
So glad to read all the positive Coneheads comments. My dad loved that movie, and I remember watching it with him as a little kid, I thought it was a little weird because I was a little kid who didn't get nuance and comedy, but I have nothing but positive memories of that movie.
I genuinely have no idea if it holds up, but I'm glad that other people liked it so I can hold on to that memory of watching it with my dad on the couch.
Speaking as someone who grew up in the Chicago suburbs in the 1980s, the Blues Brothers was absolutely a movie everyone had seen. It's still very well-regarded around these parts, as it was one of the first films really shot in (and showing off) Chicago. It's one of those films people would quote and everyone would pick up on it (especially, "It's 106 miles to Chicago. We've got a full tank of glass, a half-pack of cigarettes, it's dark, and we're wearing sunglasses."
The backup band was a legimatiely solid band, too. Lead guitarist Steve Cropper and bassist Donald "Duck" Dunn played on a bunch of '60s soul classics (including Soul Man, which you refer to in the video). The Blues Brothers band was basically a bunch of ace session musicians who in the 1970s formed a band that became the SNL band (under Paul Schaffer), and then became the Blues Brothers Band (just without Paul Schaffer).
I honestly can't say enough about Blues Brothers
It's iconic, it's a classic, and I still quote it to this day.
We're on a mission from God
Blues Brothers was one of my all time favorite movies in my preteen years. As a teenager, I used to ask girls I liked if they wanted to come over and watch Blues Brothers with me as a pick up line
Dude, memory unlocked.. I remember constantly seeing Pat on blockbuster shelves as a kid, and it was my mom's name so I always looked at it. And I was always like "wtf.."
I can pretty much quote a night at the Roxbury from beginning to end. You're crazy. Superstar is super underrated no pun intended and the ladies man, I challenge anybody to watch that and not laugh.
A night at the Roxbury is an amazing movie about a broship and you can never tell me different.
I'm from the UK. We don't get SNL, so I had no idea any of these films were spin offs from it! You learn something everyday
The Blues Brothers is one of my all time favorite movies. My dad loves it, and he's had a huge influence on my life and my humor, so of course I do too. It's a classic to me that brings back a lot of cozy memories, plus it's just goofy as hell and super fun to watch. :))
I'm an aussie, and I watched both Waynes World and Coneheads as a kid and only learned that SNL is a thing on the internet as a teenager. So from my perspective, SNL is a spinoff of Coneheads
FUN FACT: Blues Brothers held the world record for most cars destroyed in a film, however, Blues Brothers 2000 broke the record by one car.
I read "blue's brothers" as "blue's clues" at first! Lol! I must be tired!
Coneheads was a classic bro.
"YOU MUST NARFLE THE GARTHOK"
😂😂
I’m your age and I grew up watching Blues Brothers with my dad. Easily one of my favorite movies of all time and I actively listen to the soundtrack on my playlists. Definitely formative to my sense of humor and music tastes.
If you've never heard anyone talk about "The Blues Brothers" you've never been to Chicago. Chicago LOVES the Blues Brothers. It's part of the fabric of the city. You could walk into any restaurant in Chicago and pretend to order 5 whole fried chickens and a coke and they'd more than likely get the reference.
Night at the Roxbury has a killer soundtrack even if you don't like the film
John Belushi died when I was 15… sounds daft, but I was a fanatical fan.
We used to dress up and go to showings of the movie on a regular basis. Even in suburban UK we had once a month showing of Blues Brothers and came dressed as characters.
Can’t even tell you how devastated I was.
I loved listening to Dan Aykroyd hosting Elwood’s Bluesmobile on the radio, you could tell how passionate he was about the music and artists. I was sad when he retired the show in 2017, but apparently it had been running since 1993? Dude deserved a break! 😎
Superstar was my FAVORITE movie when I was little, I LOVED Coneheads, Blues Bros.... yeah, I like a lot of those silly movies. Lol but there's definitely a few I'd never even heard of! Loved this video, thanks!
Superstar was one of my all time favorite movies when I was younger, and I still have a sweet spot for it. But Wayne’s World is an all time banger.
"A third of these are about people with tv shows. What's that about?" Public access television was a cultural vein, giving people the ability to create their own platforms the way RUclips does today. On top of that, the cable and network television boom at the end of the 1980s saw a flood of tv shows just to see what would stick. So these SNL sketches about someone with a tv show were relatable.
The blues brothers movie is honestly incredible. It’s so funny throughout its entire runtime plus the cast is great
I genuinely never new “Blues Brothers” was an SNL sketch before it was a classic movie.
The Blues Brothers and Night at the Roxbury are some of my favorite movies of all time let alone SNL spin-offs. They will always make me laugh and bring back fond memories.
I LOVED coneheads growing up, you just taught me it was an SNL skit 😂
Wayne's World is the greatest movie ever made and definitely oozes the 90s.
Lol it was awesome, but the greatest? Eh..if you added more specifications like genre and time, maybe top 3.
Hey I like my comedies to me at least it's up there with Billy Madison!
I did not realise until now that Blues Brothers had anything to do with SNL. I'm from Europe and it's been randomly on tv since I can remember. As you might imagine SNL doesn't air in other countries like it does in the US. But somehow that movie is one of those movies that you watched as a kid cause it just was on the tv on a sunday afternoon.
It is crazy how much different my life has been than yours Scott, yet the big thing we both have in common is watching snl. Bringing the people together! Thanks for the vid dude.
Coneheads is one of the movies that gets played a few times a year at my house. It’s a hit in our family.
Haddaway's “What Is Love” is a god tier dance track and the one thing people like/remember about A Night at the Roxbury
The man's humor derives from three sources: 1) his manner of speech; 2) his strange commentary; and 3) the casual acceptance of the first two by viewers and associates, who never seem to catch on that he is still beating a dead Bednar.
Scott the Woz is my favorite RUclipsr and hearing that my second favorite Scott knows my favorite Scott makes me smile :)
Fellow Scott the Woz Enjoyer!
I still stand by the Blues Brothers being my favorite musical and am so grateful my dad made me watch it with him when I was a kid...I'm also glad we never had the displeasure to watch the sequel 😅
The music in the second one is pretty good, but the movie isn't very good.
@@barbara832001r.i.p., john belushi!
I am a huge fan of Ween, the band that appears (playing themselves) in It's Pat. I am literally going to see them live tomorrow. I think them being in such a terrible movie honestly fits their style.
Huge Ween fan as well, completely agree with you, and how was the concert?
Kinda funny how Ween's two breakthroughs into popular culture were a crappy comedy that no one really remembers and also something far more beloved: SpongeBob.
@@michaelvessel4604 also Beavis & Butthead
It was a pretty brown movie
was this the show at the met? I went to it it was fucking unreal
The Blues Brothers is one of the greatest films of all time, great soundtrack, great cast, badass car chases and shit, just an excellent movie. Wayne's World is pretty good too.
I had no idea Wayne's World was originally a SNL sketch. My parents and I can quote most of the movie, even though it's about a decade older than me. It's one of my favorite movies of all time, I'd recommend anyone who hasn't seen it to go and watch it. I don't care as much about the sequel, but the first one is iconic.
May or may not have stayed up past our bedtimes at a sleepover when I was like 12 and watched “it’s pat” in secrecy on late night TV at a friends house. I’m 30 now and all these years later this video just sent me into a nostalgia time warp nightmare to that night. Thanks for this
Superstar and Night at The Roxbury are my guilty pleasures. i was a massive SNL fan and i still tune in every now and then with their new sketches. as an adult you can see the dip in quality over time but as a kid, comedy gold.
I loved superstar as a kid. I DID THE FAX MACHINE WITH YOU!!!
Even though it was part of the ad, thank you for name dropping Devin. I speak on behalf of all Devins when I say our name is hardly ever used in anything. You're the hero we all need.
Night at the Roxbury, ConeHeads, and SuperStar were some of Mt favorites as a kid lol
Same 😂
Ironically Kenan Thompson already did his bad film based off a sketch comedy bit: Good Burger! lol
Any time lonely island came on I used to get so hyped… crazy they based the movie “Cast Away” off of them
Not as crazy when you think about how the US runs its entire government based on the SNL president sketches
100%
Hair looks great, Scott!
Blues Brothers works because they never had a skit on it. Blues Brothers 2000 was such a cash grab. Coming out almost 20 years after the first one. Did have a stellar cast though. I'll give em that much.
The soundtrack is also very good in my opinion.
I love your channel Scott, you make some of the most enjoyable content to watch and it always turns a bad day into a better one.
Haven't watched the video yet, but since I was so early I wanted to thank you for your work
My Blues Brothers soundtrack on vinyl is one of my prized possessions.
Jake & Amir has shaped so much of my humor. They are 2 of the funniest people to ever live.
Jake is on not another dnd podcast and god that man’s humor is perfect lol, I fully belly laugh listening to them.
really appreciate the effort scott puts into his videos 👏🏼
I’ve recently been thinking about my love for SNL movies and this is exactly what I needed Scott
I think with the blues brothers it’s iconic because it’s a watchable musical, the characters are iconic, the music is good and the people playing the characters were such great casting. I don’t know how but the blues brothers became a Christmas movie for my family. It’s such a good movie and they incorporated humour into the movie. Now blues brothers 2 was a choice, and that’s all I’ll say. It was a choice
SNL movies only go one of two ways. They're either absolutely hilarious and will forever be a classic or they are just absolute garbage water. There's not a single SNL movie that you watch and think, "Yeah I mean..that was alright I guess."
My dad showed me this movie when I was around 9 years old. I loved it ever since. Especially the Car Chase Scene! That was amazing work and so many cars wasted! It was Awesome!! Rest in Peace John Belushi.
I know in my heart of hearts that MacGruber isn't a good movie, but the gag where he writes down the license plate of someone who was a dick and later someone finds his notebook and sees he's been disturbingly obsessed with it, gets me every time
With the Blues Brothers on early SNL, you have to remember what a different show it was in 1976. Some of the segments weren't comedic at all, like the short films by Albert Brooks they played for the first year, so something like Blues Brothers wasn't at all out of character. It had its funny side (I still laugh at Aykroyd's frenetic cocaine dance during "Soul Man"), but it was also "serious" music because all of the band members were stone-cold blues and soul legends, and the album they put out was really solid. A lot of it had to do with Belushi's love of the blues. I think it was just a more freewheeling time when Lorne would let the cast members run with an idea to see how it worked out. Also, the movie had a huge impact on the pop culture of its day and the Blues Brothers became almost instantly iconic. It also had the unintended consequence of setting the bar as high as possible for any subsequent spinoff movies.
You put some RESPECT on Night at the Roxbury's name!
The blues brothers is solidified as classic🔥🔥
I can't believe Wayne's World 2 only grossed $48m at the box office. I love Wayne's World 2, maybe even more than the original. Also: it's absolutely bonkers that Night at the Roxbury is legitimately in the top 5 of all the movies based on SNL sketches, but here we are.
So cool shouting out a fellow Scott at the end! That clue game Scott the Woz released looks awesome.
I never realized super star was an SNL spin off. I love it 💀
Lol my mom and dad dressed as Wayne and Garth for Halloween 😂
