[@LegendarySparantus]

I love how Christopher Walken looks, acts and sounds so classy as if he was in an everyday serious situation when he talks about stupid shit lol

[@VersinKettorix]

Well, he does work in Hollywood.

[@carlplz00001]

Indeed

[@mwfmtnman]

He has a tough time.not laughing a couple times

[@cryptidproductions3160]

His ability to be completely deadpan serious and reserved like he's delivering an Oscar-winning performance in a drama when delivering absurd comedy dialog always makes his performances unique

[@mariaquiet6211]

"Would you have sex with a monkey if it had a mask on" "This interview is not about me" I don't know how he didn't lose it.

[@carlosmoran1366]

"It was a horse." Cracks me up every single time.

[@marcussilva4526]

"Deal with it!"

[@hellerjon1]

Me too. I’ve had an inside joke with a friend over that line for years.

[@daeviant]

Best line of the sketch.

[@crazyaf12]

U😊😊

[@jmodified]

IIRC they've used the same format joke for other Walken SNL skits, maybe more than one other, which makes me think it may be a joke he uses IRL.

[@VersinKettorix]

1:50 "Are we going to talk about my qualifications..." ? "The rest of the interview will be Centaur questions"

[@internetperson9121]

I love that line

[@refinedsugar]

This interview is not about me.

[@waterdroplets1627]

He almost broke there🤣

[@Sly88Frye]

Oh yeah he definitely screwed a monkey with a mask😂

[@fredhurst2528]

Christopher Walken can just say "fair enough" and have me in stitches.

[@simennilsen5457]

I burst out laughing so hard

[@embe1]

The half human nailed it. The centaur wasn't bad either.

[@EveryoneElseIsWeirdImNormal]

I know right those half human plants were great

[@deez2569]

Clever 💯🔥🔥🔥

[@kadian299]

Winner

[@XFS540]

Chris Parnell was really one of the best SNL cast members of all time. I don’t think I ever saw him break once, and his delivery was consistent with each character.

[@leob4403]

He reminds me a lot of Jason sudeikis, they could easily be brothers, voice is almost the same aswell as their delivery of dialogue and role on the show

[@XFS540]

@@leob4403 lol Please don’t insult Parnell that way! He is waaay more talented than Sudeikis!

[@TheMpo1986]

OMG I just realized this. You brokey brain!

[@lobo2367]

actors "breaking" is a part of the the sketch

[@WhiskeySam1]

Parnell was one of those “role players” who made the show work. The secret sauce of good SNL skits is the performer who can just act and play the straight role. That’s what made Hartman and Nealon so deadly, and made Farley or Myers that much funnier as a result.

[@thomasbrown3325]

I like how Walken reads the lines off the cards as if he’s barely aware of the meaning of what he’s saying.

[@alecrichards8574]

Writer of this sketch probably had many of these questions he or she wanted to ask. And what better way to answer them than in an interview? For a very professional job. So simple yet so clever. And the fact that Christopher Walken was the interviewer was just perfect.

[@TheDarkestMarcus]

Man, never seen this sketch before, it's so simple and so clever and Christopher Walken is amazing!

[@jaysonklein6018]

I agree. And this skit is great.

[@joshuahermanson341]

"It was a horse... deal with it!" Don't know why, but that line kills me.

[@simennilsen5457]

You're gay deal with it Never expirienced that I have and english is not even my first language

[@hippy282]

To be fair, he did say he'd never know if it was a horse 🐎😂

[@jeffwilson3363]

What kind of mind comes up with a modern day doctor centaur goes on a job interview?!

[@chocosidronio]

SNL used to have great writers in those times, also the cast and guest were the best.

[@JaneDoe-ci3gj]

An imaginative one! 🤣😂👍

[@simmiedavissimmiesings8185]

A reprobate mind

[@AlexanderXtcSlayin]

you forget that this was from the 90's, it wasn't that out there then. The 90's often made stoner comedy similar to this.

[@freedomforever6718]

A mind with a horses ass and a sense of humor.

[@SergeantSarcasm1]

I wonder if he's an epidemiologist while also being a horse-man. He could be the centaur for disease control.

[@IanChristopherson-t9v]

BEST COMMENT!!!

[@thatflatfellow]

This comment deserves to be the centaur of attention

[@quokka_11]

He couldn't do it alone. The centaurs for disease control are plural.

[@CuriousGoodsJessica]

The way his tail kept flipping around made me laugh extra hard - "there's a store, like a centaur Crate & Barrell..." they just had no idea where the sketch was going when they wrote it and threw in the ass wiping bit

[@KidFresh71]

Just when I think I've seen all the great classic SNL skits, a gem like this pops up.

[@giorgioi.2904]

Who wrote this. Seriously. The amount of jokes is overwhelming.

[@Sokrabiades]

I was wondering the same thing. For some reason, this sounds like Norm MacDonald to me.

[@geoffbieber5640]

This is a classic Judd Apatow skit.......his weird ass humor :) and it's great

[@antonioortiz4544]

I think it was Jack Handey

[@NiGiff]

Could have been Adam McKay.

[@whitetrashkel]

Ikr?! I can't stop laughing 🤣😅🤣

[@GalomanenLA]

2:12 “ this interview is not about me “ lol 😂 Christopher Walken reads cue cards but still gets away with it ! ..His awkwardness and poker faces are so funny in itself lol

[@IamTheOppressor]

Bro literally the first joke "Sit please." "I wish I could." And literally not a single laugh

[@DunmoresMovieMania]

Because it wasn't a joke. It was a fact.

[@KingoftheJuice18]

"I've got a fever. And the only thing that can cure it is more centaur."

[@SteveBrownRocks2023]

GREAT POST! 👏🏼😂

[@ElwoodBluesAK]

I'm a Centaur and I'm offended.

[@Shadowwolfe2k7]

Relax friend, they were just horsing around.

[@ku8721]

Fair enough

It’s 7 years later and I think we really do have centaurs now

[@TotallyFarked999]

"It's in the barn. Or behind a door, or a vase..."

[@Frisbeethepigeon]

The tail swishes are everything

[@roybenari]

Christopher Walken is hilarious in this!

[@persephoneblack888]

"The rest of the interview will be centaur questions" made me laugh so hard and I don't know why 💀

[@fhb3]

Walken. Centaurs. Job interview. That's all this sketch needed to be greenlit. "Just let Walken and whomever (in this case, Chris Parnell) ad-lib, it'll be fine."

[@Saanichian]

I don’t know if you’re old enough to remember a time when Christopher Walken (and Leslie Nielsen, for that matter) were dramatic actors who you never would have guessed would turn into goofballs relatively late in life.

[@unclewalt1]

They're clearly not ad-libbing.

[@larrymcjones]

Goddamn I haven’t seen this since the SNL DVD best of Christopher walken was streaming several years ago on Netflix I forgot how funny this is “Fair enough” is such a Walken line lmao

[@ansiaaa]

it was a horse. deal with it

[@Anjohl]

COME ON.

[@dayvid_danger]

Always has been.

[@Julie-sl8ul]

😂😂😂😂😂😂😊

[@Eric_1991]

I love when the hosts try hard not to smile

[@JOHN----DOE]

Being a woman interviewed for a job 30 years ago was not dissimilar.

[@tombranch2261]

love how at 2:00 you can see him almost lose it, and then regain his composure.

[@iunnbrynveig3309]

Also, at 2.25, after he says This interview is not about ME.

[@jldude84]

Also at 1:28.

[@alumpyhorse]

good catch hadn’t seen that one. 2:25 was the first time I’d seen Christopher Walken come even close to breaking

[@rauserbegins5850]

2:21 One of the very few times Christopher Walken almost breaks character and laughs in an SNL sketch lol!

[@jldude84]

FFair enough.

[@garylynch9206]

We don't have SNL on telly in Ireland. Seeing it more on youtube recently. I only knew Parnell from a couple of small cameos like Anchorman where he was underused. The more i see of him the more i like.

[@zawzawaung6789]

I wonder who wrote this piece. One of the more cleaver things I've seen on SNL.

[@melissatyree566]

Clever not cleaver

[@starshipcommand183]

Totally clever

[@quokka_11]

@@melissatyree566 I think they meant that the sketch was wholesome, like the Cleaver family in "Leave it to Beaver".

[@all_about_ches7600]

This interview is not about me.. lmao

[@JoelHernandez-yl6yw]

“This interview is not about me” 😂

[@jgreg3596]

And after that interview, the centaur became a police officer and earned a five second cameo in Bright. And no one ever questioned him again. The end.

[@jean2479]

"The rest of the interview will be Centaur questions," lolol! 😂😂😂 He says it like so professionally as if it's a thing hahahaha!!

Christopher Walken is the best host in the history of SNL.

Christopher Walken is priceless

[@dennissmith7214]

“The rest of the interview will be centaur questions”! 😳😆😆😆👈🏽🤦🏽‍♂️

[@DFWGrapher]

I need to know how to spell "augbegian" so I can reference it randomly and hopefully get the word added to the national lexicon.

[@AllUnbelievableShits]

aubesian ?

[@KairuHakubi]

I have always spelled it 'ogbesian' as that seems the most sorta whimsical fantasy spelling of course what's funny is they're not aware a horse's rectum needs no wiping because it does like a ketchup bottle.

[@JachAnen]

I'm here because of SNL binging

Damnit I love Chris. When he said "I've heard them all" I was REALLY hoping for Chris to come back with something clever.

[@MrDogfish83]

but the horseracing questions seemed to be new to him

[@calliecalliej.6431]

Their straight characterizations the WHOLE time through something so fantastically silly. 😊😅😅

[@JazzyJonas]

Anyone else try to look up the word augbesian?

[@JC-fg2jz]

This whole thing has a very Kids in the Hall feel, especially the little throwaway part with Chris Kattan in the beginning.

You just know that the writers were banging out a bunch of Centaur related questions.

[@BrandonSL500]

This seems like a Norm Macdonald sketch.

[@bondfool]

He was fired three years before this. This is Adam McKay’s work.

[@Dalton_Boardman2000]

I like how they gave a genuine answer to the bathroom questions instead of just defaulting to going wherever. I like worldbuilding even if it's just for comedy.

[@DonCarlos590]

He didn't deny the question when he asked if he would have sex with a monkey. He just avoided the question.😂

[@Sly88Frye]

I for some reason was so certain he was going to give the centaur the job. But just the way he rejected him from getting the job at the end especially after all those incredibly uncomfortable questions just cracked me up so much😂
