Daily Affirmation: Martin Lawrence - Saturday Night Live

[@taergehtsiram]

Seeing this all these years later, this is rather beautiful.

[@aaroniic]

Martin went up to SNL and scared the hell out of the studio 😂

[@BlueLatte-f3f]

“Is this something our producer promised you”

[@ajboss924]

What's funny about that?

[@FlannelHobbit]

​@@ajboss924Uhh... it's a perfectly written joke?

He made Martin Lawrence crack and Martin Lawrencemade Al Franken crack, this was so funny!!!

[@RicardoMoralesMassin]

When he answered "word" OMG this was the best

[@Boricua3lions1985]

Greatest Daily affirmation ever!

[@lenhindle1108]

Let the healing begin..and the laughter never end. Stuart i nominate you for the No Bell Piece Pie.. You deserve it more than anyone I can think of at this moment.. And that is not a lie... Cause I have short term memory problems..but that's ok..

[@auntieshugah9330]

forgot about this skit....i remember seeing it way back....hillarious!

[@crashburn3292]

This is the Richard Pryor and Chevy Chase "Word Association' skit from 1975, but with a happy ending.

[@eunhinged]

pure genius! I love watching these bc I'm guaranteed a good chuckle. Before his time Stuart was.

[@Dagma31]

Young Martin Lawrence was hilarious. 🤣🤣🤣

[@noneyabeeysnass8283]

Before he had a stroke he was top of the game

[@marylyn3081]

Absolutely timeless!! LMAO 😂

[@denisadellinger4543]

I love Stuart, man. Even when he was in Congress he was Stuart Smally because he was good enough, he was smart enough and dog gone it! People liked him!

[@debbiemetke5938]

I met Franken once in an airport and he was the nicest guy.

[@badboycooking]

Sexual misconduct look in up he did it

[@chelsabrinkman417]

…and the left HAD to shoot themselves in the foot. Ridiculous.

For those who don’t know, Al Franken was a United States Senator from Minnesota from 2009 to 2018.

Martin L. Lol Probably one of the funniest people ever. Underrated.

[@natedoggg2002]

Martin Lawrence was too raw for SNL! 🤣

[@stuartmchugh4361]

Best opening monologue ever.

[@ajboss924]

​@@stuartmchugh4361That idiot beside martin wasn't funny at all

[@BruceBender-zz6uf]

Sure, if your sense of humor includes subjecting people to that type of language continuously, saying that what you said was a joke and never apologizing for it. I was subjected to that kind of language and nobody should have to hear that kind of garbage.

[@DebNKY]

​@@BruceBender-zz6ufI agree with you. He was boorish and boring.

[@milascave2]

@@BruceBender-zz6uf word? I was subjected to that kind of language too. Tell us about it.

[@lenhindle1108]

Stuart....This is true and hilarious...that's what makes you so 👍

[@auntieshugah9330]

He said,” Maybe Alcoholism” 😂🤣🤣🤣

[@lowbo47omsascotave]

*Eastside Low Bottoms sh*t !* _Tappin' in from South Central LA_ Talk about a _hidden gem !_ I figured SNL buried all evidence of Martin's infamous guest host appearance. I've only seen the Scared Straight sketch...and now this. Nice.

[@rickyjkuron5275]

Two greatest Comedians ever Martin Lawrence & Al Franken

[@GeorgeZimmermen]

Lawrence is annoying and unfunny, Frankin is a liberal douche political puppet

[@jasonwoodard4154]

How in the hell do you piss off Stuart Smalley?!?!

[@ManiYoutuberMalikSulemanAwan]

wow.... #MartinLawrence is 1 hell of a performer! ...hilarious!

[@davidgon98]

Wonderful actor!

[@EricKennedy-q8y]

This was great. Love Stuart Smiley

[@patrickstiadle3857]

This one was an exceptional example of how smart these Smalley sketches could be with their parody-raw honesty moments

[@flipjupiter1]

"Unless, maybe, alcoholism." Definitely ruined my family.

They were only available out of the US for years.

[@charlesbikle4823]

The ML show wasn't available because Lorne & co were pissed at him for cursing on the live show.

[@JOCKATEO]

funny as hell ass pirate ha ha

[@realhuman-being]

Reminds me of the Chevy Chase & Richard Pryor SNL skit. Would never see this dialogue on SNL anymore. LOL

[@salwaaj1356]

'' it's ok to be angry'' ' 'i ain hugging any homo' ' The transition from racism to homophobia is brilliant. I mean, it s baffling how some groups suffer from discremunation and yet find it in themselves to persecute some of its members. Women or gays, for example, are a common scapegoat inside racial or religious groups that are persecuted themselves.

[@a.taylor8294]

I am curious what stood out to you in this skit as showing "racism". I'm also not sure why it might be baffling to understand why different groups experiencing discrimination don't always understand the discrimination experienced by others.

[@salwaaj1356]

@@a.taylor8294 it is in a way. Compassion after all comes from our ability to relate to others' plights. To experience descrimination yourself should make you sensitive to its different forms against others. I guess it s like the psychology behind the different outcomes to similar childhoods: how some abused kids grow into protectors and how others grow into abusers (creating victims or defending victims in order to surv8ve your own victimhood) . And this sketch is all about that:two ppl from two persecuted groups, black and gay, realise that they have abuse in common.

[@salwaaj1356]

@@a.taylor8294 as if racism, i meant the defensiveness of the black guy towards his white host percieved racism.

[@a.taylor8294]

@@salwaaj1356, this reply here seems like it comes from someone who doesn't understand the perspective from that defensiveness comes. Defensiveness ain't racism. I think you don't quite know what racism truly means. Having biases or misperceptions doesn't automatically mean someone is racist.

[@a.taylor8294]

@@salwaaj1356, and compassion is what was truly demonstrated in the skit. Not racism. The humor of it is that plenty of people can relate to knowing people who say such things or having been those people. Both of these characters showed they could learn and resolve. Thus, they weren't being racists.

[@Syamhouse_]

fRANK IS sTRONG eNOUGH:

[@SnowWalker1]

What ever happened to Martin Lawrence?

[@justcurious3119]

Martin almost breaking SO many times. Great acting. I wish I felt affirmed, but doggone it, I Like my Very Watered down vodka. And, that's OK. Been there done that about the AA. See? Now I drink more than I used to after having to iterate "My name is and I'm an ____.". Deprogramming from The Program (AA brainwashing) is OK.

[@bryand8879]

LOL back when SNL was actually good. Would prob be cancelled and outrage people today

[@mrmusickhimself]

What's funny is that SNL were FURIOUS with Martin over his monologue from earlier that night. They'd go on to ban him from the show afterwards, so they were outraged lol.

[@cwaltzmusic]

Totally! It's not funny anymore. It's just stupid now.

I've seen some old In Living Color and I've also had to acknowledge that plenty of that wouldn't get made today. Plenty of it is STILL hilarious!

[@leorios6400]

Is a Martín playing a carácter or himself? If himself, what so agresive and insecure? He should have gone for fictional

[@a.taylor8294]

He is going for "fictional" here. The fictional character that Martin Lawrence played is conveying a common machismo and bias that many African-American males of that time loudly expressed. That is part of the humor - listening to him, and thinking "I know people how sound like that!"

Few would want 40 acres and a mule in this day and time, unless it's really good ground! Might could improvise with some equipment.

Low views cuz snl doesn't promote it in their algorithm. They know it will lead to more views of his monologue, which "almost cost everyone their jobs" and which snl doesn't want high views of either.
