I read Spade's memoir. He was barely getting on or having his sketches on the show the first 3 years. One day he was reading People and just making fun of celebrities and Bob Odenkirk was like, "you've got to write that up." When he did his first Hollywood Minute in read-through Lorne was like, "you've found your voice." 30 years later I still think Spade just roasting celebrities with that delivery is the best thing he's ever done.
This Hollywood Minute is what I remember him most for on SNL. He didn’t write sketches that well which is why he wasn’t on much (I didn’t know back then the actors generally write their own sketches). I did love when he was on even if it was usually as a secondary character.
David Spade took this risk because he was on the way out at SNL and he was getting no airtime. He was able to secure his job at SNL by doing Hollywood Minute, but burnt a lot of Hollywood bridges doing so.
That was just the time. Ppl were less sensitive then, we laughed at weirdos. Now days we celebrate them. You know how many drag queen story hours we had in the 90's? ZERO! You were insane and going to jail if you did that.
People give Norm McDonald a lot of credit for being fearless on Weekend Update, rightfully so, but I think Spade did it first. He burned a few bridges too.
Norm burned the OJ bridge, and Hasselhoff and Frank Stallone bridge. OJ bridge got him fired. Spade went full on scorched Earth and burned every bridge in Hollywood.
Spade ran, so Norm could fly. Spade really set the Weekend Update platform up for Norm just in time for teh OJ trial era. Spade may have been mean and kinda held back, but Norm straight up was Devil Incarnate and didnt GAF on Update.
Classic, these used to be my favorite growing up as a kid watching snl. He and the writers provided young me with those great mid to late 90s street joke templates from the “hey ____ called it wants it’s _____ back” to “I liked _____ better the first time, when it was called ______” and other fine gems :D
Spade & Norm. It was at this time (during my parent’s divorce) as a child that the one thing (2) which brought me happiness were Norm’s Weekend Update and also Dave’s Hollywood Minute. I just got very f’ing emotional typing that as I’ve never even given this relationship with personal trauma much thought (ironic perhaps?) … …but as I was typing I quickly remembered that Norm was fired from SNL and started cracking up (watery eyes to laughter - perhaps a first for me). So, Norm, my Man, you already know how much you mean to some of us and I wanna thank you and let you know we love you. Hopefully, the Universe or the simulation we are in could let us link up sometime. I mean: you would know you f’ing Legend. Thanks for inspiring some of us to try. and also for being a conduit to some happiness as the world seemed to be crumbling down around me as a young teen. ❤ Peace, my Man 🙃Ⓜ️ PS: Dave, I’m on this vid for you, specifically, and I had the Norm epiphany while typing. “I’m cool. No, you’re not” haha YESSSSS!😊
Dude... Hate to say it but, David Spade was correct about SO MUCH AND MANY THINGS in this video... If he did this sketch today... He'd be there for HOURS going off about stuff, lol. 🤣🤣🤣😅😂🤣🤣🤣
I seem to remember that these zingers were more biting back when I saw them on the show the first time. But all these years later, I can't believe how lightweight they actually were.
No one really burned bridges at the time. Late Night hosts would do mild ribbing in their monologues. Spade went full out scorched Earth, burning bridges for jokes. He wouldn't just diss a celebrity, he would double down and triple down after the joke, ruining their credibility for laughs.
I think my favorite Spade joke was about someone whose name I can’t even remember. But it was some guy who looked like another Hollywood star. It went something like, “Hey, so-and-so. Johnny Depp called and he wants his DNA back.” I use versions of that myself to this day. It was hilarious.
Macaulay Culkin today looks almost exactly like he did as a kid. He didn't turn into Spade. I mean, there was a rough patch in there, but he's better now.
Yeah I agree buddy Epson was the greatest but me and my dad also agree that Jim varney was good too. Come on man it's Ernest what other dude could play that role?
Watching reruns of rules of engagement with his emporer groove buddy Patrick warburton as kronk who is Jeff. Both give great slams when their in the diner!
One pun. I recall Rice Krispies being the center of international drug trafficking laws with racketeering. The criminals, Snap, Crackle, and Pop. Federal Prison. All traffickers.
Hollywood and SNL seemed to adopt their current social justice warrior stance in reaction to bits like this from this era. We need more of this truthtelling comedy to return.
@burteriksson Exactly!! And that could be then, too. Because, I remember that, for whatever reason, there really was this period from 1990-1994, where there really WAS an unusual amount of censorship then, for some reason. I remember that there was this movie titled, "The Pope Must Die!" (which was actually a comedy, believe it or not, lol) and someone, somewhere, felt that the title was Too Extreme and they changed it to the Extremely Stupid "The Pope Must Diet", Lol. So, that could be, possibly.
people posting comments like, "SNL used to be Funny" well i remember 1993, back then they called it Saturday Night Dead, people said the show wasn't funny anymore, and they kept talking about how "SNL used to be Funny"
Yeah, the original cast 1975 - was awesome, so I can see saying it wasn’t as good when they were gone. But there has always been talented people on the cast.
and Macaulay Culkin did indeed grow up yo be rather small and younger looking than he is just like Spade was. my kid pictures would fit in with those two pictures perfectly and Spade is right, blonde turns brown skin gets old it sucks. im 6'5" though which also is not the jackpot people think it is.
that “welcome to hell” bit always gets me😂

anybody else on a Spade binge?
Just started one this afternoon.
Eyooo here here
Often, lol
Yea♥️
Just watched his ‘05 SNL episode
Amazing amount of sketches in it
“Now he wants to go on trips with your 10 year old because he just *loves* children...”
Spade is savage
Sounds like he is doing a Farley impression
David Spade took risks when it would have been easier to blend in and play the straight guy. Highly underrated as a comedian and as a cool bloke.
others were taking risks to, dennis miller, kevin nealon, colin quinn, norm macdonald... one big diff. spade was funny.
David Spade took this risk because he was on the way out at SNL and he was getting no airtime. He was able to secure his job at SNL by doing Hollywood Minute, but burnt a lot of Hollywood bridges doing so.
Norm is hilarious
and it's so strange to hear him talk about how self conscious he was on snl, because he really was so so funny!
That was just the time. Ppl were less sensitive then, we laughed at weirdos. Now days we celebrate them. You know how many drag queen story hours we had in the 90's? ZERO! You were insane and going to jail if you did that.

when he talkes about mccully caulkin lmao relatable
I’m sure someone already said this…but omg David’s shoulder pad suit is da’ best!
Loved this bit live, it was the highlight of every SNL
Classic, these used to be my favorite growing up as a kid watching snl. He and the writers provided young me with those great mid to late 90s street joke templates from the “hey ____ called it wants it’s _____ back” to “I liked _____ better the first time, when it was called ______” and other fine gems :D
One time, he said he liked Stone Temple Pilots better when they were called Pearl Jam!!!! 😂😂😂😂😂
One could almost recite it along with Spade.
I still use "the first time, when it was called..." regularly in RUclips and Twitter comments.

Dude, David and Macaulay these days DO look so much alike, and Mac's been hanging out with the guys of Red Letter Media and James Rolfe;)
he was right about Macaulay culkin
Lol I’d say he looks even worse
Yeah, Culkin ended up 1,000X worse than Spade predicted.
He was right about Eddie Murphy as well, but look what happened...
Dude... Hate to say it but, David Spade was correct about SO MUCH AND MANY THINGS in this video... If he did this sketch today... He'd be there for HOURS going off about stuff, lol. 🤣🤣🤣😅😂🤣🤣🤣
Yeah but he'd be cancelled before he finished, sadly
@@user-dt6xn9qu7fNah, we Still Need Comediennes with BALLS... There HAS to be some out there. We NEED a Kinison, Diceman, Hicks, Dangerfield, etc.
He does do this stuff today... check out the channel LIGHTS OUT WITH DAVID SPADE - he's absolutely savage
@@easyriderrider4580 Bill Burr is up there these days. Love listening to his rants on Conan or his podcast.
If Spade plays his cards right, he can do this same bit well into the 2020s.
Spade IS a card.
Ok, I’ll see myself out now.
These are still hilarious 😂
I seem to remember that these zingers were more biting back when I saw them on the show the first time. But all these years later, I can't believe how lightweight they actually were.

He goes full Chris Farley at 2:49

spade you the man !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Macaulay Culkin today looks almost exactly like he did as a kid. He didn't turn into Spade.
I mean, there was a rough patch in there, but he's better now.
There was a period in 2010s wheer Spade and Mac both looked like junkie douchebag Elves. I dont know how to describe it, but that was their look.
Lol! Platform shoes weirdly came back 😂😂 who would have thought
Spade is hilarious. You can see how he was influenced a bit by Dennis Miller, and how he himself influenced Norm MacDonald.
On “Smartless” March 28, 2022 David Spade mentioned he was influenced a lot by Kevin Nealon and Nealon helped him get an audition on SNL.
One of the most underrated comedians ever.
No wonder Spade and Norm MacDonald are friends.
He'd never get away with comments like these nowadays.
Oh yeah. Well your dad called and he wants his suit jacket back.
Buddy Epsen was the Sean Connery of Jed Clampett. Pretty, pretty good!
Yeah I agree buddy Epson was the greatest but me and my dad also agree that Jim varney was good too. Come on man it's Ernest what other dude could play that role?
Absolute gem!
So Roseanne was already crazy back in 1993...
What a shocker!
Lol she was ALWAYS kinda nuts, she was just slightly quieter about it
Loved it.
Watching reruns of rules of engagement with his emporer groove buddy Patrick warburton as kronk who is Jeff. Both give great slams when their in the diner!
1:04
More relevant today than ever!
Savage! 2023 he wouldn’t last 30 seconds 😂
00:47 Hilarious 😂
Culkin should do a piece now using that clip
Jesus those shoulder pads on Spade!
One pun. I recall Rice Krispies being the center of international drug trafficking laws with racketeering. The criminals, Snap, Crackle, and Pop. Federal Prison. All traffickers.
im on a spade binge
I love his voice
Fly on the Wall led me here 🫶🏼
1:36 golly bob howdy says Slinky from toy story
SHOUT OUT TO SPUDLYS GIANT SHOULDER PADS 😭
David Spade predicted Mcculy Culkin looking creepy today.
"My name is Prince, and I am funky! My name's Roseanne, and I am... chunky!" I thought that's what he was going to say.
Spade set the proto-pattern for this segment which McDonald made into his own.
Alas, platform shoes did come back.
Hollywood and SNL seemed to adopt their current social justice warrior stance in reaction to bits like this from this era. We need more of this truthtelling comedy to return.
He knew Roseanne was crazy back then, lol.
She's not crazy she woke up
David Spade was born July22nd and RobinWilliams July 21st.
mac vs pc actor justin long: i liked him the first time, when he was jackson browne!
2:00 Marv starts screaming bloody murder
hey we're over here David
1:50 -- the Macauley Ciukin dig - Spade warns, "This is where you're headed, buddy..." but Culkin didn't even rise to the low level of SNL.
Looks like Spade borrowed Daddy’s jacket
Did he invent the “I liked it the first time when it was called…” bit, or was it just a thing everyone was saying at the time??
Jacket is about 3x too big. 😂
At 0:36, he uses his famous comedic line/device for the first time (according to researchers at reddit)
David Spade shouldn't denigrate Jackson Brown's haircut, when David Spade looks like he just got out of prep school.
My god, young spade looks like a young John Mulaney!
"🎶My name was Prince and I was Funky, My name's Rosanne and I'm still chunky🎶". That's what he would say today!😳
Wholly shoulder pads
Why is the Hollywood minute three minutes?
What’s the deal with Chilean sea bass? It’s not Chilean. It’s not sea bass !
To help you count to 3, BarB 🤤
Was that the first "so and so year just called and they want their thing back" joke?
Back then they didn't have kids size suits
edit at 2:29. I guess something was TOO HOT for SNL's channel.
2:25 that didn't age quite so well
Actually lots of Dennis Miller in there.
I see they edited out the John Candy reference
What was the John Candy reference??? Lol
@burteriksson Exactly!! And that could be then, too. Because, I remember that, for whatever reason, there really was this period from 1990-1994, where there really WAS an unusual amount of censorship then, for some reason.

@burteriksson "And Michael is leaning at the tape...oh look here comes John Candy out of nowhere, it's gonna be a photo finish!"
@@TheHalfjackson Thank you.
...and youtube has Delirious listed right to the right here on my screen... starring John Candy. Spooky. :)
maybe i oughta cast this dude in an Uncut Gems type movie 🤔🤔🤔
What is with Kevin's BL at the end of every Spade's skit ?
be respectful to the King of Music spade
It's called "Reality"... You should "Check Into It" for once... 🤣🤣🤣😂😅😂😂🤣🤣🤣
Did Macaulay ever audition for snl?
He hosted a few years before this.
Nostalgia
That aged super well no sarc
Nice shoulder pads.
The best part was with the models.
Right because their sole purpose is to look good for men.
@@ThomSonnyYeah Straight men,yes.
SPADE.
1:08 I bet he hated goths so much.
Prophetic.
Here because of Conan needs a friend 😭
Same
The Michael Jackson joke 😄
2023 spade told the future. He should tell a 20 something actor where they will be in 20 years now.
Where did Spade get that suit coat? From the "Big Boys" rack? Hard to imagine his shoulders are that broad. (3:16)
Check out his comedy special "Take the Hit"
Spade was right.
Before he was Kuzco.
Who knew. SNL was once funny
And after he made fun of Heather Locklear she still dated him!
You let him go on a trip with your kid? No
Wise words
people posting comments like, "SNL used to be Funny"
well i remember 1993, back then they called it Saturday Night Dead,
people said the show wasn't funny anymore,
and they kept talking about how "SNL used to be Funny"
Yeah, the original cast 1975 - was awesome, so I can see saying it wasn’t as good when they were gone. But there has always been talented people on the cast.
The correct answer is: SNL was never funny. Just small parts of it out of the tens of thousands of hours. The shotgun effect but with comedy.
I think David Spade was stoned.
Back when you could make jokes.
This would only be made funnier if he laughed at every joke he made.
tuls toh
From 1:07 - 1:24 would get his career cancelled today.
That was the beginning of the Eddie Murphy Fued.
Or Murphy hasn't forgiven him.
Spade in this reminds me of a blonde, low-key John Mulaney.
His joke about heterosexuals would get him cancelled today.
and Macaulay Culkin did indeed grow up yo be rather small and younger looking than he is just like Spade was. my kid pictures would fit in with those two pictures perfectly and Spade is right, blonde turns brown skin gets old it sucks. im 6'5" though which also is not the jackpot people think it is.
You gotta hear the Smartless interview with David….
