Love Chris Walken. Such a humble and down to earth person. He’s a legend to these people. They’re doing this outta respect and not laughing at him as some may think.
We know that. What??? Think you're some smart as_ ,o better than everyone else?? We realize, recognize, e.g. understand the concept of the skit. Yikes!!
Hader, Sudeikis, Armisen, Forte, Samberg, Wiig, Fey, Poehler, Parnell, Rudolph is probably my favorite alumni. Everyone says your favorite SNL cast will usually be the cast when you're in your late teens-early 20's and it checks out for me. In 2005 I was 19 and that was Haders intro year. I loved 04'-12' for me that's 18-26 years old.
Also, Bill did get TONS of love but he was super shy and had really bad anxiety and stage fright so he flew himself under the radar. Cast and crew loved him. Lorne especially saw a lot in Bill and often encouraged him to break out of his shell.
This was one of the few genuinely inspired moments of the last 9 years of SNL... They did their all to try to break Christopher Walken's stride.. as he had done many times to the casts of episodes he hosted over the years.
I love Christopher Walken, he is so much fun! He can make you laugh, he can scare you, he can make you cry, he is a true artist! And, when he dances, everyone wants to be him, so talented!
That Amy Poehler impression may be my favorite ever. She kills me, Jason just has the look of appreciation and recognition on his face as he pats her on the back. Even her mouth movements before she even speaks, Amy kills me! "My doll's name is Jennie...She's a good doll"
@@AbbaZabbaOlyFrn No, the Carrey family reuion was one my favorites because he played so mani iconic characters over the years and his family members are those characters, just played by the cast.
They are all mocking the way he acts by not looking directly at the person he's talking to, have you never watched any Christopher Walken films ....jeez
Don't know where I learned this, but SNL technique is to look at the cue cards the entire time so as not to draw attention to having to refer back and forth to them. Of course, it is obvious they're reading cards, but it's less disruptive to do it most of or the whole time. Even the regulars because changes to the script happen so much that there's no point in memorizing some scenes. Some actors do it better than others.. edit: I think it was on Howard Stern in the past few months an SNL person said this. Probably Wiig or Jost.
5:22 "Driving? I'm walking!" When everybody laughs at the end, there should of been a freeze frame while the credits roll up one hundred miles an hour.😅😅😅
The first time I saw Christopher Walken was in the Deer Hunter and have been a devoted fan since. His early movies were serious, it wasn't until after Brainstorm with Natalie Wood and her subsequent death that he opened up as an actor, no type casting for him. His comedic turn on SNL are legendary, I've seen them all more than a few times (the Cow bells leave me in stitches every time)!
Yeah. I laughed uncontrollably the first time I saw this sketch. The entire scene was amusing, but when Amy walked in and said "My dahl's name is Jenny" it went into a higher gear. Then I cried and couldn't stop laughing once "SPOOKY behavior" came out. lol I wish I could recapture that loss of control. But it's gone now. Saw this scene too often. Desensitized. Good memory, though. 😂
@@C.Church Wow For me no matter how many times I watch this skit its like seeing it for the first time Spooky and no punctuation gotta keep true to the spirit of Walken
@@InnannasRainbow they do this whole show in a week and you expect everyone to know every line in every sketch and never mess up while reciting them live? Especially celebrity guests who often times don't have much experience preforming live?
@@InnannasRainbow so in a week, you can write a couple skits, then also act in other peoples skits -not to mention wardrobe and backgrounds- and you wouldn’t need cure cards? You know most of the casts barely sleeps to create each show? GTFO
Every time i watch this video I laugh at the interview with Will Forte where he say's he was removed from the sketch because his impression was so bad... That's why he is the waiter lol.
@@efisgpr Agreed on Armisen. I think Armisen is hilarious, and I'm one of the only people I know who absolutely loved Portlandia, but his Walken was painfully bad.
I like the touch where Walken is reading cue cards off screen and not making eye contact with his family. Because, c'mon, thats the most Christopher Walken thing I've ever seen, no eye contact on Saturday Night Live.
Got to love Christopher Walken he’s such a tuff guy but really is a great sport people are for ever taking him off and he takes it all in good humour. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
I can just imagine the meeting when they were pitching Chris all the ideas for the week's show: Writer: "You know how everyone has an impression of you, and they're all terrible?" Christopher Walken: "Yes?" Writer: "Let's everyone do them right to your face. For five whole minutes."
This is hilarious. The only thing more entertaining than a Christopher Walken impersonation is Christopher Walken surrounded by EVERYBODY doing Christopher Walken impersonations.
Two of my favorite things combined, Christopher Walken and SNL. Could it be more if a perfect sketch? I think one of my favorite SNL sketches is him doing the plants with googly eyes. Genius.
Bill Hader = INCREDIBLE!!!!! He kicked it off so strong that everyone else was a little disappointing. They should have looped him back in for the last joke about walkin' so they could end just as strong.
Bill Hader’s impression embodies all the Walkenisms perfectly. All the gestures and body language, as well as the accent; just brilliant
It's was a bad impression though. They're all really bad impressions.
@@noneyabidniss4763 Hader did Walken better than Walken did Walken. Walken was a parody of himself.
Kristen Wiig's, "Hilarious" was so spot on
not really
theyre all terrible, but sudeikis is especially talentless
The beauty of this is no one has to do an exact impression. It’s a family thing so similarity is the key, not just precision impressions.
Truth!
Thanks for you comment. It changed my life.
@@walshy2116 And your life needed changing.

I love that Walken is imitating Walken to let the other's imitators sound like Walken.
Nothing gets passed you spud, eh?
❤
... the other* imitators
walken walken! - fozzy
What’s really hilarious... is that... Walken is a terrible Walken... impersonator!
"They're spooky. And I don't respond well to spooky behavior"
Gets me everytime.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣walking
yes. that should also have been the end of that sketch. hahaha
Deerhunter...that movie was hilarious 😂😂😂
I say that so often these days!
@Michael.Sandoval33 men these days need Michael's skills and resilience finally alone NESS is the only recovery from war and women
I like the fact that Amy Poehler’s doll has a Walken hairdo 😂😂😂
I like the fact that Amy!
LMAO
Neither of them are crazy about “spooky behavior”
ikr?!
As did the entire Walken family.
Walken is doing the most blatant cue card reading I’ve ever seen in a sketch. But it works lol.
De niro is 10x worse lol
calbassas87 Actually, he always reads cue cards on snl.
haha yeah, and I bet at 0:24 he read "big hug" off the cue card when he was just meant to do it and bill hader just went with it
Right when I came to YOUR COMMENT "I looked to the screen, and he was virtually holding the cue cards reading them!!
It honestly helps accentuate the unusual speech pattern in a cool way lol

In the background at 4:36.. Bill Hader still bobbin and shakin like Walken does. Guy stays in the zone even when he isnt in the scene!
🤣🤣🤣 omg he's amazingly talented
Lool
Yesss😂
Staying in character! Lol 😂 🕺🏻
hahaha just now saw that - cracking the f up (since apparently now we cant write actual cuss words anymore? wtaf)
Amy Poehler was the best ! I didn’t think she could because she was playing a little girl but boy she hit it out of the park 👏
Christopher was a good sport for doing this.
Good sport? "It was a compliment to his unique speaking style, ya know"
christopher walkens christopher walken is spot on
nah... kinda sad.... hes obv reading the lines and hes not trying to hide it
Try being yourself. It's not that difficult.
I've seen better
It used to be better
@@ziggyvertov1829 l Hate Ghosts under my bed..
Lol
Bill Hader nailed it omg
Hello have you been my screat chrismas present~
There's an interview where he says he can't do CW, but i guess he's just being humble
He sounded too much like Pacino and the way he moved too much.
He can’t do Christopher Walken
He was the best by far, other then walken himself
1:45 Amy Poehler's "They're SPOOOky!" floors me EVERY time.
She was the best imo
spooky behaviour puts it over the top!
I don't respond well to spooky behavior.
I thought she was the overall best. Hader does great impersonations, I felt his was a little off on this. Maybe he's set the bahaurrr too ....much
Think she had the best walken impression of any of them
“We finally saw The Deer Hunter. That movie was hilarious.” Gets me every time 🤣🤣🤣
I read this, missed the quotes and looked up this “funny” movie lol
Deer hunter, Funny?
@@tttappin oh boy...
My dad loved Christopher Walken. He turned me onto him and he is one of my favorites.
One of my favorite also 😅
Amy kills it! She makes this one of my favourite SNL skits! Love it!

"Spooky"!!

How the hell can Christopher Walken keep a straight face throughout this
by being angry as fuck :D
In 2:27 you can see that he's laughing inside
Iguanaintrouble he's dead inside
He was close to breaking up at 5:08
because he's Christopher Fuckin Walken
Bill Hader was the best SNL cast member that didn’t get enough love during their time on the show
He even out Walken'd the man himself
That was like 10 years ago, get over it man.

He’s turned out to be an excellent actor. Barry was a great show and loved him in the movie with Wiig “skeleton twins”
“Do your homework, eat your wheaties, everything will be copacetic”
-Christopher Walken, (circa. 2013)
This is now a quote I live by
I love how this guy is completely comfortable parodyingen himself.
Greatness.
What an awesome dude to do that
Seeing things tv
He knows what product he's selling and he's happy with it.
Are we all just going to ignore the fact that “parodyingen” isn’t even a word???
Chris Walken is the absolute best. Funny, humble, lives quietly and could kill with a glance
WOw
I like how Walken went out of his way to parody himself by exaggerating his own speech and mannerisms. Lol
This was one of the few genuinely inspired moments of the last 9 years of SNL... They did their all to try to break Christopher Walken's stride.. as he had done many times to the casts of episodes he hosted over the years.
He's the greatest SNL host ever. Anyone who disagrees is simply wrong.
"I don't respond well to SPOOKE Behaviour" is the best line for me.
😂
I love Christopher Walken, he is so much fun! He can make you laugh, he can scare you, he can make you cry, he is a true artist! And, when he dances, everyone wants to be him, so talented!
Yes, weapon of choice is a true classic
Love Chris, Love this entire skit!!!!!!!!!!!!!
He also flys watch the mel Gibson interview
One of the best SNL skits of all time. The part with Amy Pohler is my favorite. "I do not like gho-s-ts! They-re SPOO-ky!!"
It's time for ANOTHER Walken reunion on SNL. Bring him back!!!
You mean ghosts-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s.
Holy smokes funny
It's actually "...because I hate ghosts...they're spooky..." But yeah, Amy is great!
Pohler's "ghossttss" and "sppoookyy" are hilarious!
Jason Sudeikis almost cracks when Amy Pohler says “spooky behaviour” 🤣🤣🤣
behavior
This is the worst thing I've ever seen, I absolutely love it.
Yes yes yes. This is astonishing.
oh, data's line
That Amy Poehler impression may be my favorite ever. She kills me, Jason just has the look of appreciation and recognition on his face as he pats her on the back. Even her mouth movements before she even speaks, Amy kills me! "My doll's name is Jennie...She's a good doll"
She’s a good DALL 💀
Omg I thought it was Dane Cook 😂
She definitely had the best one 😂 she is funny fr
Need to do a Christopher Walken Zombie movie.
" The Walken Dead."
🤣😂
@Snarick Klash ,🤣😅😅🤣🤪😅😂😂🤣🤣
Walken dead lol
Is that on tv I'll use my universal remote to find it
OooHhhh !!!!
It’s already a thing. Search it up, it’s great. The zombies all do quotes from the lesser known Walken films and it confuses the survivors.
Bill Hader's Walken is better than Christopher Walken's Walken
I thought I was the only one thinking about it.
Bill Hader is the Best
Ohwaw
Killed it
Yeah, I think Hader won the Walken-Off, with Sudekis coming in second.
Christopher Walken truly one of the most amazing guests on SNL
26 seconds, Walken reads stage direction (not dialogue).
(Big Hug)
Hader grooves into it immediately, repeats, “Big Hug.” Hader kills it & Amy crushes it, “I don’t respond well to spooky behavior.” Wow!
Hilarious-great you picked up on that and the way it worked out well anyway
Someone in the writer's room said, 'What if we had a reunion so everyone can do their best Walken?'
'SOLD.'
The Carrey family reunion was hilarious too.
And then they tried it with Jim Carrey and Adam Sandler, those two sketches are freaking cringe-fests
Seth wrote it!!
... *writers' room. There are more than one of them.
@@AbbaZabbaOlyFrn No, the Carrey family reuion was one my favorites because he played so mani iconic characters over the years and his family members are those characters, just played by the cast.

@@JAS563ify They are doing it so it doesn't make his cue card reading obvious.
and yet it does not bother me at all ! not a single bit !
It fits his style. He doesn't look at people directly. Everyone is following his cue and not look at people directly

Everyone does a great job having fun with the Walken mystique, but Amy Poehler knocks it out of the box. Also, the doll prop's hair is hilarious.

"They're SPOOOKYYY" EPIC
I took Christopher Walken a few minutes, but he eventually nailed that Christopher Walken impression.
It's either you can pull of Walken well or sound like you're a part of the Russian Mafia.

"WoOOow."
Slow clap. Well done
Only the "real ones" will get that.
Best closing line in a skit-"Are you driving? "No, I'm Walken".
The "I don't respond well to spooky behaviorrrr" line was key 🤣🤣
Bill Hader had the best impression and Amy and Kristen had the most adorable impressions
Pohler ultra-pronouncing "ghosts" coupled with "spooky" makes this skit. Oh and the broad who lost it at 2:19.

Underrated comment right here folks.

You mean "poifect" right?
'she is a good dall...'
She sounded Eastern European ffs. Brutal impression.
So Christopher Walken reading cue cards sounds like someone doing a decent, but not great Christopher Walken impression?
I've noticed so many people on this show (including the regular cast) who read cue cards. Doesn't anyone learn their lines any more?

Ha I had to play the big hug thing a few times I definitely think there’s a loud fart in there
They need to make a Pacino reunion
Big props to all the stars that do these skits. Have to have a good sense of humor to let everyone roast your mannerisms this hard.
Absolutely love Walken.
The fact that Christopher can take all of this in stride is great.
Love the enunciation and separation of the words 'ghosts' and 'scare' is so good and funny.
