Don't you mean... it *killed* you... and you *died* ... ? this is "current year" we're not allowed to use words correctly anymore. next time be sure to inform us that this skit crashed your car, and overfed the goldfish.
I was a serious Civil War reenactor for 18 years and this skit is really spot-on when it comes to being authentic. The clothing on both Yank and Reb is correct, the stacked rifles correct, the entire scene is perfect. It caught me totally off-guard that it was even SNL at first. I wish more of these historically accurate spoofs on history would be done. It's a great way of "hooking" kids into real history- better than any novel.
I suspect the SNL prop guy simply went on-line and found the local Yank reenactment group and asked them to bring everything they owned, including rifles, tent, etc. They'd have been happy to help. Everything is too authentic in the skit to have been merely bought by SNL.
At 3:38 B Moynihan tries to make Fallon break so hard that his face turns red. And Jimmy comes this close > }{ < that close to pulling it off. I think he wanted to play the Horatio Sanz part from back in the day SO BAD. Cuz if Sanz and Fallon were in a sketch together, someone [Jimmy] was gonna break. But, yeah, actually, Jimmy broke in every sketch. I forgot. And for you kids reading this, look up Horatio Sanz. He was a beast. While you do that, I'm gonna go look up Tim Conway and Harvey Korman.
Here's how my thoughts progressed through this sketch: Stage 1: What the hell? Stage 2: OK, I guess this is kinda funny Stage 3: Actually, this is hilarious Stage 4: OH GOD NOW I CANT GET THIS SONG OUT OF MY HEAD
Nah, the Union defeated the confederacy because the North Virginia army failed to take the high ground at Gettysburg on the second day after a miscommunication with Lee’s orders, and after Grant took Vicksburg.
Ugh, the battle of dunkirk took place during the ww2 era and this skit is in the civil war so get your facts checked **Pushes up glasses and continues reading comic* (If you didn't catch the joke, I was trying to be one of those internet history experts)
I couldn't help but feel bad for Harry while watching this live haha, his beard falling off and his hat also falling off while he was jumping. I was stuck between laughing and crying
i never thought i’d see the day where harry styles says “y’all”. thank you for that, snl, and thank you for giving us a bop like “party at my parents’ house” :’)
That drummer just showed up out of nowhere at 0:52. He hadn't been there before. I also can't stop watching the guy behind Beck and the faces he makes.
Harry's jawline so sharp it was cutting right through that beard until it started falling off 😂😂
Shani facts
Shani lmao
totes . Party at my parents house....wicked hook
This comment😭😂😂😂😂
His beard fell off or his jaw? 😳
I'm impressed with whoever wrote "Old New York." I tried to look it up but it's not an actual Civil War-era song - but it sure sounds like one!
That explains a lot... I was trying to figure it out and going nuts lol
It honestly deserves to be a song in a Civil War movie for how real it sounds.
@@Dominicn123 Oh hell yeah! Sounds very similar. Must be the inspiration behind this clip.
It was written by Miley Cyrus.
Man that be an awesome song
"Ooh, ooh, ooh.
Dance until the pills wear off!"
Wow, teenage party anthems were edgier back then.
SirEriol I’m WEAK when I realized it’s a child soldier joke
cocaine pills you know
@@drewthistlethwaite8909 wait what
the next guy Lots of kids died as child soldiers from conscription or genuine desire to join up. But yeah, 12 and up was kinda a rule of thumb.

@@drewthistlethwaite8909 oh ok
I thought you meant like 5- 11 year olds kid
But the twelve is kinda surprising
Anyone else think “Old New York” was an actual old soldiers song?
Apparently it isn’t
Look up "New York volunteer"
Could have sworn we sang it in music class in grade school with all those other motivational war ditties.
Not even for a second
I did.
But then I'm not from New York.
Or the USA for that matter.
@@Wasev its not NY vol. Its most likely deriving inspiration from it though
The Civil War soldiers using words like, “lit” and “fire,” had me laughing.
Don't you mean...
it *killed* you...
and you *died* ... ?
this is "current year"
we're not allowed to use words correctly anymore.
next time be sure to inform us that this skit crashed your car, and overfed the goldfish.

And the chevrons. Yellow is for cavalry, not infantry.
@J G ........................... really?
I didn't even notice that part until I read the comments
This new Dunkirk trailer is kinda weird..

Is this song “Old New York” a real union song?
I suspect that it was or something like it that they used.
It is, is called the New York Volunteer actually they used the music and some of the lyrics.
William Brown ... Then you must know about the HUGE part the Catholic church played in starting that horrible war ?
I don’t know why so many people are surprised that Harry has such a good voice, I mean.....
*He’s a singer*
Chicken Permission right
fr lmao
Oh I thought he was an Olympic gymnast
Jkjk
is harry the reb or the union singer
@@joeythegoat233 the confederate
but honestly? I'm more surprised at the union guy's voice
he's surprisingly good
2:40 when the crowd realizes it’s Harry Styles, part of eveybody’s heart dies
Yeah they didn't notice him before he came out singing lmao
Yes frrrrrrrrrrrrrr
Harry Styles is the SNL cast member we never knew we needed
or wanted
Oh we knew. We knew...
Ikrrr
Brooks Wheelan kind of looks like Harry Styles, but Brooks wasn't good enough to be kept.
no... just no.
OOoHoOoOOOh
*PArTy at mY parents’ house*
Goddammit. It’s stuck in my head now
Is this a song I've been searching for it for almost a year now lol
Omg ikr
Oh who am I kidding, that hook is fire. The whole track is absolutely lit!!
It was a real party in the USA! 😁
Wow, I don’t think Fallon broke character once. That’s a first
He was still the worst thing in the sketch, sadly that isn't a first.
I think he just wasn't acting 😂

@Gardner Barnes I think most people just want to be trendy with their hatred of him. Sheep
@Loki Blaidd-Rhew Why u gotta hate fam-
This is a legit banger. Needs to be a real song.
It is it’s a civil war song
the " OH MY GAWWWD " and the " suddenly its sO clEAAAR " HIT DIFFERENT WHEN I TELL U I RE WATCHED THAT PART SO MANY TIMES
'oh, who am I kidding? that hook is fire, the whole track is absolutely lit'. those parents that try to be 'down with the kids' lols
Harry's beard hanging halfway off his face.
He wishes it was real.
nero faora it's my aesthetic
i swear
3:41
should've use duct tape then :P

i've watched this an inordinate number of times in the past 48 hrs... it's just that good. Bi the way, i love that you are flying the colors!
yep!!! exactly the same process!
@@queenjustine66 WO OH WO OH THIS SKIT IS OFF THE HOOK, WO HO WO HO THIS SKIT IS OFF THE HOOK..

Alexis Rosa i can relate
Alexis Rosa is it Harry styles
😂😂True, he’s checking him out😂😂
Stop everything he is doing just to watch him backflip
@J G wtf i can't i swear
I love this One Direction reunion
I just choked on my coffee

Damn I didn't know Dunkirk was gonna be a musical
Jen Slays Dunkirk is based in world war 2
Lol I know I was just saying that because Harry plays a soldier in both.
Jen Slays Oh your right my bad😁
Odst Gaming 😀
lennibizzle wrong war
2:37 OML HARRY WTFFFF!!!! SINGING WITH A SOLDIER IMPERSONATION???? OH MY LORD I APPLAUD YOU
Shut up
Am I the only one who has kept replaying this over and over again due to that fat catchy hook???
no you're not
no
If you like the hook, listen to Live While We’re Young by One Direction. Not the same, but the hook is there.
I didn't have to replay it, I can't get it unstuck from my head so it's constantly going for me. Not complaining, just saying.
Look at Harry at 4:07 right before the bomb goes off it's priceless
😂😂😂
I mean, is there a right pose for "being fragged by my own guys while I am a prisoner"?
stop at 4:08
@@roguishpaladin oh was he supposed to be an American prisoner? hahaha
This is honestly one of the best SNL skits and the fact that Harry is in it makes it all the better
Briana Janczy You are wrong about BOTH of those statements.
Lmao Harry is so much better at acting than I thought he'd be
His Icarly performance made me suspicious but he's great at acting!
I mean, he had plenty of practice acting straight
HailG3 omg I love you for this comment ❤❤ LARRY FOREVER
never forget.. he started on icarly and couldn't act for shit then..
1D_is_life yea I didn't know what to expect
The Union defeated the Confederacy with that fat hook. It was too dank for Lee and his men to handle.
Nah, the Union defeated the confederacy because the North Virginia army failed to take the high ground at Gettysburg on the second day after a miscommunication with Lee’s orders, and after Grant took Vicksburg.
@@Shaw4123 geez, it was just a joke.
generally, General Lee isn’t affected by such a silly thing but that hook was too fire for him to handle
@@lilaaaac It was super dank, no doubt.
I like how when Harry says his first line nobody realizes it’s him until he comes in and starts singing
What was up with Harry's position during the explosion? XD
Right hahaha
With no context, that is a terrible sentence.
He's reeling the big hook in
🤣
"the director said to make a choice"
Lol his beard couldn't handle that note he hit. It was literally shook. I wanted to adjust it for him.
"Dance until the pills wear off" LMFAO
Rebekah I died there too 😂😂😂
Rebekah drugs are cool, especially when you wake up 20 yrs later....
It's funny because we all know jimmy prefers to snort his drugs..
What part was that at I can't find it???😂😂😂
Ginny Cullen Greenleaf At about 1:20
I won’t lie to you folks, this might be one of the greatest sketches of all time.
Na not really
2:38 if you’re here to hear Harry singing ;)
YES omg keep coming back to this part ahhh
and his beard falling off 💀
Is it bad I want a full version of this.
They do need a full version of Old New York
No I do too
It would be bad if you didn't😃

I couldn't help but feel bad for Harry while watching this live haha, his beard falling off and his hat also falling off while he was jumping. I was stuck between laughing and crying
But it's a comedy show so all of that just adds to the humor really. nbd
it just added more to it? nothing to feel bad about
Harry’s vocals went off and so did his beard😎😎😎
K
I love how Harry can not only change his accent, but also change his singing voice
anyone else catch how transfixed Harry got for .5 seconds when that guy was doing back handsprings at 3:56?
Liberty Hagfors yes lol what was that about XD
Liberty Hagfors
that was hilarious
lmfao Harry's beard was running away 😂😂😂
Let's just hope this one doesn't write a song about it

Am I the only one that is freakin dying because Harry's voice is FREAKING BEAUTIFUL!!!
Nope. Ur just celeb crushing. He had the worst voice of the bunch.

The way the man came out flipping in 3:51 had me on the floor 😂
Harry’s face too when he saw him 😂
^^^omg i saw that too 😂

Emily Hyde u look like allie haze
Emily IT DOES
John Don she really does
I heard Blink 182 - so much so that I actually thought it was one of their songs 😂
When Jimmy started singing I died
Me too omg
Erik what is the name of that song?
2:39 holy heck that was really good- i'm not surprised bc it's harry- but still
This is one of my favorite SNL skits
Harry Styles giving off that "Up All Night" album vibe
🎵 Party at my Parent's House🎵
GTR24 😂
i was like "wow that confederate pow can sing, who is he?" lmfao harry styles
The dad part was hilarious! “I pretended to be the dad”. Lol
"PARTY AT MY PARENT'S HOUSE"
I woke up with this in my head.
Harry Styles should sing on Broadway.
Which one is Harry styles...
Molly Gacha Productions The one wearing the grey confederate army uniform and he is also from One direction.
Am I the only one who actually loved this song lol
Has this hook been stuck in everybody else's head too!? 😂
yep and it's still not gone...
It's been stuck in my head for the last 2 years
Harry did good at singing and not sounding like himself 😂 I couldn’t stop laughing this was so funny
That pose Harry styles gives at the end with the boom is hilarious! lmao 😂😂😂😂😂
HOW HAVE IVE NVER SEEN THIS
I was think the same thing!!!
And the mick Jagger one
when harry started singing my weave fell
Gucci Gizzy so did his
You are a cringey whale
Harry's beard plus his little solo in this make this so so great
This song has been in my head for 2 years
Legit want a full video of Beck singing Old New York!
