Michael J. Fox's impersonation of Dan Quayle is excellent!
Dan Quayle was never the dummy they portrayed but his occasional faux pas did become legendary. Sort of the way Gerald R. Ford's slip on the steps from Air Force One became fodder for SNL in the 70's despite his being a graceful former athlete. But the sketch was pretty funny.
@@charlesgreen8703 The funny thing is, seeing how baby boomers stumble their way through Facebook and other social media, it seems like most people who gave Dan Quayle shit probably couldn't spell "potato" right on the first try either
If the press wanted to they could have slammed Obama for the 57 states comment. The press decides who they will deride. @@bryanismyname7583
@@vanmoody If people like you heard about it, it means the press DID deride it. Logic
@@justinhackstadt6677 Wide spread coverage of it? It's easy to just say something in between two sensational stories. You mention it briefly and never do it again. How many times did they mention the potato vs potatoe incident? See the difference?
Dana Carvey just killing it!! Good to see Micheal J Fox as Dan "Potatoe" Quayle. And My main man Phil Hartman... still miss you, bud!
Phil did a great Clinton impression. The one where he goes into the McDonalds. LoL. "Warlords!"
Dana Carvey is nothing but joy and pleasure to watch. Hartman is so good!!
lol yep
Dan Quayle was great acting like himself.
That moment where the other guy reaches out to hold him in place made me burst out laughing.
love Dana carvery as George w bush. a thousand points of light.
HW.
Stay the course
**( "Not Gonna Du-It, •••• Not Gonna Duuu-It" ! )** 😮😂😮
@@w.neuman”Wouldn’t be prudent at this juncture.”
The great Phil Hartman had no lines and the same gruff expression throughout and as always is comedy gold.
Lies again? Major Master Cold Storage
@NazriB wtf you talkin about
He was one of the best SNL actors ever
Absolutely
He had a line
How on earth did Dana Carvey manage to take such a bland politician as Bush Senior and make such a vibrant, goofy caricature? I mean, for all the praise that Alec Baldwin got for his Trump impression or that Phil Hartman got for his Reagan or Clinton, those guys are pretty easy to impersonate because they're so distinct. GHWB is about as interesting as a block of wood, but it's such a funny impression.
dana can make anything entertaining! he's awesome at impressions, and his voices and expressions in general (for example church lady) are very funny
That block of wood was involved in a lot of shit to say the least,
The deadliest snakes lie lower in the grass or higher in the trees than others
It's so sad that Michael J. Fox, one of our most expressive characters was afflicted with Parkinson's disease. A disease that steals your best expressions and moves.
The blondie(Dan Quayle) behind Bush,is Michael J.Fox,the other(who sort of controls him is Phil Hartman)this Sketch is from 1991
no shit
No kidding
Hartman looked a lot like Foley in this sketch.
I thought that was Fox.
...and you are watching this on RUclips, it's a website/app that allows you to watch videos.
I cant stop watching this. Lol Phil Hartman's face
@Funk O'Matic Tom Foley, former House Speaker.
Especially when he grabs Quayle to stop him from getting up
could be saturday nights alright for fighten. His Black and white) ElGOD(ton), your song black and white video 1970sh (lloks like a dawn of awkening
That looks like Michael J. Fox as Quayle ? I love how Quayle is out of step with everyone else, LOL.
Always!! LOL.
He’s so good as Quayle. Almost steals this sketch with like one line.
Was there a close up of Dick Cheney right after he said "tyranny"?
Yep! That was Cheney alright! He was younger, but that evil looking smirk can always be recognized! Why is it that he reminds me SO much of Mr. Burns from The Simpsons?
I love what Phil did here too, as always.
A "young" bernie sanders at 4:33
That isn't bernie sanders lol
@@H0VA yes it is lol
@@MrSteelermania I see who you are talking about now he is on the far left (how fitting) of the frame shot.
That's Bernie Sanders, indeed.
Phil Hartman plays Tom Foley, Speaker of the House.
No Shit,
@@mrExcellent101 wym no shit, haircut?
I love how Michael J. Fox portrays Dan Quayle. He gives an image of being authoritative, yet he really hasn't a clue.
Just like the REAL Quayle!
While you hasn't a clue on proper grammar.
Classic! I've been looking for this for ages.
Watching Fox bite his lip to avoid losing it still cracks me up.
still relevant today. wish everyone would either remain sitting or standing the entire time. the whole standing ovation thing every 2 minutes with only the Democrats standing for a Democrat POTUS and only Republicans standing for a Republican POTUS is really obnoxious.
It wasn't always so, only in the last ~20 years.
They think it actually helps their 'team,' but it just looks like blind unquestioning allegiance by people scared to be independent and think for themselves.
@@mgmoody42 Yep. The Speaker here, Foley, was a Democrat, and he's applauding and standing out of politeness if nothing else.
Really, the audience here probably includes Nancy Pelosi, Mitch McConnell, and Chuck Schumer somewhere clapping together to the real George Bush's speech.
Somebody finally gets it
@@timmcfadden1762 Or it is just people passionately supporting issues.
Naga-nah-da, wouldn't be prudent.
hahahaha!!! 😂😂😂
Is that Michael J Fox playing Dan Quayle!?!
Edit: Great Scott it is!!!
He might be the oldest person to ever play Dan Quayle in SNL history.
Yes. It is.
Michael j Fox killin it
And to my vice president, Dan Quayle... tick, tick, tick, tick.. lmao 🤣
Dan Quayle is essentially Charlie Chaplin in this sketch
I had never watched this one. That Dan Quayle really was clueless. Michael J Fox is so funny.
Was and still is! How King George the first chose HIM as VP is still a mystery to me!
No joke. Precisely why I haven’t watched a sotu in ages. Standing ovations every 20 seconds.
disgusting national ritual
Replace Quayle? NAH GAH DAH-IT!
But, I love the callback when Carvey (as Bush) mentions how he wouldn’t be surprised if, in a few years, Colin Powell would be speaking from the well of the House and Fox (as Quayle) leads the applause on that line not realizing that he’d just been thrown under the bus. Typical Quayle!
It'd be badass if this was actually done in front of congress
This is what I imagine Phil Hartman did with all the new cast members to teach them the game haha.
Is that Al Franken as the narrator? Who would have figured he'd be able to attend a joint session as a senator?
And Hartman is perfect as Tom.Foley without saying a word.
Yes, it's Franken.
Hilarious stuff ! Nobody did it better than Dana Carvey ! He had it down pat! Bush was a great President....God rest his soul....rest in peace 41 !
Michael J Fox is killing it here too, even without speaking.
He was a war criminal and a socialist
1:35 John Kerry, spot him if you can
Dan Quayle bits hilarious😂
Marty as Dan Quayle, fabulous!
i didnt quite hear, what was the name of the operation?
Mission something
Operation...Desert....Stoooorm
It was called, "No New Tax-says!"
Phil Hartman resembles the American Eagle from the Muppet Show :-).
True!😂
Omg looking at General Powell this crazy I just watched his funeral he was Regal and handsome! WOW RIP. General we salute you!
usually they had that little kid play Quayle lol
I actually thought that was Dan Quayle for a bit
At 3:01 you can see Howell Heflin in front of Teddy Kennedy. Its amazing how much the current Senator John Kennedy looks and sounds like Heflin!
Heflin was from Alabama, Kennedy is from Louisiana. Different accents
@@ObamaFromKenya Well, I'm from one of the northern mid Atlantic states. So to ME, the accents sound similar. Kind of like people think that people from New York City, New Jersey and sometimes even Boston sound alike which they most certainly do not.
There's a sketch where it's a Congressional hearing about porn and it's just these old Senators and Congresscritters talking in VIVID detail...but they've got Chris Farley playing Heflin and Dana Carvey playing Strom Thurmond.
@@40thCapeRifles Yes, I've seen it many times. I also saw it when it first aired on SNL. Only its not a skit about porn. They were spoofing Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas' Senate confirmation hearings after Anita Hill accused him of sexual harassment in the workplace. According to her, he talked about some pretty weird stuff.
One of my favorite lines from that skit was when Teddy Kennedy asks Thomas "were you eh....drunk at the time?" This was said because Kennedy had recently been with his nephew at that bar in Florida where she claimed the nephew raped her. Kennedy used being drunk as an excuse.
Incidentally, one of those "old senators" in the skit, who was actually the HEAD of the committee was none other than sleepy Joe Biden himself!
Whats really funny is that this really did happen when Bush gave his speech to Congress after the Gulf War was over
Not many Presidents can get a 90 percent approval rating when it comes to handling National Security.
Looks like the real Dan.
SNL was beyond it’s time
At 3:04 to 3:08, George H.W. Bush's national security advisor Brent Scowcroft and Secretary of State James Baker.
Every SOTU since 1991, I think of this sketch.
Watching Trump's State of the Union Address tonight made me think of this sketch... Just so funny...
Funny the actual Cheney shows up in the clip, a man to be carciatured many times in the future.
It took me a moment to recognise Colin Powell at the beginning.
Because they all look the same ?
It did?
In college we used to play a drinking game and watch Scarface every time he said f*** we drank😂 this might be a new drinking game every time he says operation does your storm and I was over there
4:33 you can see Bernie Sanders
Holy heck
Jonny Watts 4:34 but close
Back then he was called "Bernard Sanders" lol. Hes a dork and is a loser! #TRUMP2020 🇺🇸🇺🇸
@@helloyall4355 shut the fuck up
Yes and you can also see Steny Hoyer and Dick Gephardt too!
I’m pretty sure George Bush enjoyed this more than Dan Quayle.
Carvey was invited to the white house to do his impressions for George Bush. And Dan Quayle..
@@stevengriffith436 Not only that, but during a speech Bush actually imitated Dany Carvey imitating HIM when he was talking about an issue.
Timeless
"OPERATION DESERT STORM".
Lol, love Dana Carvey. Even in political-themed sketches his only intention was ever to be funny, in a way ALL people can enjoy - nothing more. HW Bush enjoyed his impressions and they became friends as a result. That's the kind of positive way that commercial comedy should bring people together.
I love it when Dana Carvey told Bush that his impression of George Bush is a combination of Mr. Rogers and John Wayne
That was crazy funny!! LMAO 🤣
FAX!
They say one worded it's like the most amazing speech.
Phil! My guy.
Colin Powell? Didn’t 3 electors from Washington vote for him in 2016?
cant stop laugh
RUclips is doing something awesome on my suggestions: it's putting the real debates from the PBS channel. I save them for later because laughing for 1 and half hours requires preparation.
Back when SNL had no problem making fun of both sides.
4:35 Bernie Sanders
0:09 - Al Franken!
Nope. He was not a Member of Congress then, and at 0:09 that's real footage.
Al Franken was a writer and performer on SNL during these years, Stuart Smalley Daily Affirmation was one of his skits, even managed to get Michael Jordan to do a daily affirmation with him. He later went on to write political books and radio hosting with Air America Radio and then ran for U.S. Senate.
Are you sure that's NOT Dan Quayle?
Not gonna do it
Ahem, excuse me....
*Operation Desert Storm*
What a classic
4:34 BERNIE!
guy has been old my entire life
Nah, that's Dick Cheney
@@newyorker14622 If you pause it at 4:35, in the upper left you'll see Bernie Sanders.
and Steny Hoyer!
@@dewaynelawson2626 And Dick Gephardt!
the guy who plays bush seems more like the real life quayle
Nah. I think Fox got Quayle spot on. Quayle was an idiot! To this day I still wonder why George the first picked him as his running mate.
@@retroguy9494 yes he is an idiot
lol
Did that say "the dorky bird to the "House"?
i just realized that dan quayle is played by micheal j fox
Colin should have been the first Black President
I am 100% in agreement. Could you imagine if Powell was president during 9/11? We wouldn't have that mess we had under that idiot Bush!
Ok. I remember when Colin Powell knowingly lied to the world about U.S. intelligence findings regarding WMDs to help justify GW's military policies in Iraq and elsewhere, directly contributing to a multi-decade quagmire that has led to thousands of American casualties and untold billions of American tax-payer dollars evaporated in the desert air or inadvertently funneled to random insurgent groups throughout the now thoroughly destabilized Middle East. Great job!
Is that former SNL performer and noted Senatorial sex pest, Al Franken, doing the voice over work?
Correct spelling - 'POTATOE'
Michael J Fox does a Nancy Pelosi 31 years before Nancy Pelosi did it!
A president who doesn't hog all the glory for himself! Can we have a president who is humble again?
Yes, I miss Reagan too!
Lawd help us w the state of the union today. All due to creepy joe !
@@mrsbluesky8415Correction: All due to Reagan. You’re welcome.
Huh, so this is what happens when we end a war. Never seen that happen before.
Then you must be VERY young!
Top ranking democratic didn’t want to face off against Bush.
Too bad. Powell would have made a terrific president!
I agree. HE should have been president instead of Bush the second. What a shame it was that Powell thought the democrats would make his wife's depression an issue in the campaign and cared about her too much to put her through that. I think had he been president, we never would have invaded Iraq and Bin Laden would have been caught a LOT sooner!
@@nonnenja2281 While there IS truth to that, he was merely supporting his boss, Dubya Bush. Even Powell admitted it was a blot on his record. However, I STILL say that had Powell been elected in 2000 instead of Bush, things would have gone very differently in Iraq because he was against the invasion from day one.
@@nonnenja2281 Cabinet members cannot refuse a presidential order. That is what led to the "Saturday Night Massacre" during Watergate. Yes, he could have resigned if he did not want to obey the order, but that would be the only way.
Lol Looks like Dan Quayle never cared about politics! Think, McFly! Think!
1:36
Did the real Dan Quayle have a hard time knowing when to stand and clap or something?
10-30-19
He made a ton of public gaffes back in the day and the media generally portrayed him as a dumbass.
Have to admit creepy Joe makes Quayle sound elegant.
Is that Lloyd Bentsen right after 3:00?
You mean next to Teddy Kennedy? No, that's not Bentsen.
retroguy94 No, the one right after that at 3:04
DEAR SNL can you make ...let all these ppl wear Star Wars mask and do this year state Union
Who’s here after hearing Colin Powell died
was that Michael J Fox?
Dariush Gorgin yes
PS1-lookin-ass speaker of the house
Eek Dick Cheney alert 4:28
Man I wish Powell was the first black president
2 Hilarious 💜✅🎤
Republicans applauding the idea of a black president?
You know this had to be a joke.
Did not get all the humour but a great skit anyhow.
It's playing on the fact that Dan Quayle was considered stupid.
@@APOCALYPSE_X-MEN have to admit creepy joe makes Quayle sound elegant...
Man if they new the future of what was to become, with the dems, and the underground 🚇 secrets society would evolve, thanks snl. Lol funny for ever 🤣
Bros lagging
i agreedana carvey was funny as impersonating george bush and liked him in waynes world but master od desquise dana what were you thinking for making that
I am old enough to remember when SNL was funny and not just a woke outlet.
👍
God damnit is that Bettie White ?
Anyone else think Colin Powell probably should have been the first black president?
whos harry crumb
