[@BJ-zv5nl]

The deal was for the "success he craved"... we actually don't know what level of success he craved or whether he was able to achieve that level of success from the skit. 😉 But I agree, the showing of him coming up with what is some beautiful lyrics and music at the end really ties the skit together so well and gives the audience great closure. Considering they are under tremendous pressure to put these skits together in a few days, absolutely creative genius. One of the best skits ever in my opinion.

[@palaceofwisdom9448]

He said he would sell his soul for a hit song, but ultimately came up with the song himself. I'm not sure that would count as the Devil fulfilling the contract. They would need a follow up sketch like when Jon Lovitz was the Devil on SNL People's Court to decide it. 😂

[@somethingyousaid5059]

When I was young I quit trying to learn how to play the guitar only because I couldn't master the F chord. If I couldn't play the F chord using all 6 strings I wasn't going to continue with it and I didn't. I was a perfectionist.

[@trysometruth]

@@somethingyousaid5059 I learned the F-chord on my first guitar which was an acoustic guitar with, what I later would learn, was the widest freakin' fretboard and the highest unyielding action of any guitar I would ever encounter again having spent the next 20 years in live bands and in studios. My fingers bled working on that F-chord. My parents who got me that loss-leader acoustic were both awesome for doing that and child molesters for doing that.

[@somethingyousaid5059]

@@trysometruth Yeah, I had an uncle who played the guitar way back in the day and I remember that he had a guitar with a particularly wide fretboard and it was impossible for me press the strings on that thing. And of course that only served to reinforce my determination to never go back to trying to learn to play the guitar. I never had the big enough hands or the long enough fingers for it anyway. The piano turned out to be a more realistic choice for me. So I probably made the right decision in not continuing with guitar.

[@agonleed3841]

bigrigJim higher IQs really come from the fact that in older days, they were shitted on, so their parents worked extra hard to make them better.

[@lennartbeat]

Whoever created this is a comedy genius

[@ronhoward9292]

+Adub Htown Adam McKay usually writes for him and he improvises a bit.

[@CroTube5000]

This sounds like an Adam McKay sketch to me

[@daryldixon5280]

Lennart Beat JESUS WRECKED HELL WHEN HE TOOK BACK SATAN'S GEMSTONES... WHY IS A "JEW" INCLUDES INCLUDED IN THE VERY ............WORD:............JEWELS?

[@medexamtoolscom]

Wow no. How low are your standards, your brain has been rotted by the last 20 years of the simpsons I think.

[@hellspwnnix9514]

medexamtoolsdotcom shut up u fucking snob

[@rocknrollmilitant]

I always imagined the Devil sounding like Ronnie James Dio. I was way off.

[@jbolo5378]

DIO is GOD \m/ \m/

[@patricksnavely7506]

Militant Socialist ... I always thought he would sound like Dave Grohl.... 😆😆😆😉

[@normdeplume9806]

He speaks like a Ferengi with a Klingon accent.

[@andreo.7633]

Dio was very soft spoken

[@normdeplume9806]

Andre Osorio - but sang like he was hitting you with a big stick. \m/

[@BenjaminWirtz]

He did lose to Johnny in Georgia . He also lost to tenacious D if I recall. so he sucks at playing instruments in general

[@buckaroobanzai7063]

He won the Tenacious D contest.

[@anick5338]

Also lost to Bobby Terrance in kids in the hall...wah wah petal..

[@TheWacoKidd]

The fact that nobody laughed when he said "Fred's Slacks is a winner" is a travesty. One of the most underrated sketches ever

[@hankdatank09]

😂😂😂😂 agreed

[@yogurt8740]

The theme of the devil is larks tounges in aspic from King Crimson

[@SKarthikeyan75]

King Crimson!

[@tyumi9319]

Karthikeyan Subramanian Idk how I didn't notice that before

[@kylewilloughby1983]

Seen this skit a million times, just noticed that Larks Tongue in Aspic (I think)!!!

[@Sivadavis_Music]

Yep, Larks Tongues part 1!

[@johnnyribcage1]

Caught that the first time - pretty awesome. One of my favorite Crimson albums.

[@gregseverance1481]

I don't hear king crimson. Could someone explain?

[@loosekanen]

Take the level of laughter in this skit. Multiply by 20. That's how hard your musician friends are laughing.

[@megananak4109]

Jordan Armstrong I

[@el34glo59]

So fuckin true man. I'll always remember this skit. Fuckin hilarious

[@alexvaldivia1855]

Jordan Armstrong lol "the F chord hurts my fingers"

[@_Tang0_]

Is it humid in here?

[@OdaKa]

Jordan Armstrong hahahahaha, that's great man, lol. You're so right

[@Kelarys]

Coming back for yet another rewatch, and I'm still shocked at how few laughs "Fred's slacks is a WINNER!" got

[@GatCat]

This is Comedy gold. Top ten sketches of all time.

[@frankhamilton3874]

Zoingus, Boingus I’ve just been bit by the love bat And its driving me MAD!! 😂😂😂

[@pumasgoya]

Sounds more like Sorgus borgus to me.

[@tronsnow4763]

The Smiths

[@tonyreyes8190]

Dude the King crimson reference was hugely appreciated

[@ricktherrien8235]

“I said the guitar was outta tune, Freds Slacks is a winner” lol

[@sauceamericano4279]

🎶Zoinkers, Boinkers, I just got bit by the...love bat! AnD itS drIViNG mE mAAAaAaaAd!!!🎶 3:32

[@kendonato1887]

That literally could be a hit

[@tronsnow4763]

The Smiths “I Want The One I Can’t Have (It’s Driving Me Mad)”

[@grimbereft]

"oh really? then where did this tasty lick come from?" > continues to play primus > and then B52s

[@tartuffethesprywonderdog5883]

I hope you aren't seriously trying to diss Primus.

[@grimbereft]

Dude Primus sucks. I'd never diss

[@tartuffethesprywonderdog5883]

My man.

[@massparody]

No it wasn't Primus. It was frank zappa

[@jadelomelimusic7578]

Who else unironically likes alot of these songs. Like the love bat one that could be a sick punk jam.

[@Fibonaccisghost]

Is it driving you mad?

[@kimroberts7006]

Will Ferrell is a comedic genius. He could do absolutely nothing but stare into a camera and I guarantee you I will be laughing. I enjoy him so much!! "All my homies and my b*tches say 'ho'!!! I mean, c'mon!!!

[@MmmK-f2v]

He literally did an entire movie in broken Spanish (Casa de mi Padre) and it was hilarious.

[@bennystanley5501]

That was actuality a cool little song Garth started at the end

[@dylanmahan5702]

Of course it was it's Garth Brooks.

[@pyrho1]

I wish it was a real song!

[@davidkoba]

Yeah it is. They should've turned it into a real song.

[@ComfortableGlowX]

Agreed. I remember watching this when it first aired, I was always hoping he would have finished it and put it on an album. Bummer he didn't, would have been a hit for sure.

[@prankgirl9112]

Benny Stanley Everyone tweet him and ask him to write a full version!!!

[@prettyboy9337]

"The love bat" was actually good tho.

[@markalan4462]

this explains why music is so bad today... everyone be selling souls

[@Tubetopfan1]

'cept from what i've seen (heard), they couldn't give their souls away.

[@tartuffethesprywonderdog5883]

But they've always said that about musicians.

[@JaredHani]

Troy morgan sold his soul to the devil several times as if he had one at all.

[@Toobielove]

This comment cracked me up

[@d.gerstmann4930]

Check it out. Uncut song. Youre da man - nas. Uncut mind.

[@davidjrae]

I really wish that "Devil Can't Write No Love Song" was a real song.

[@dennismcdonald2607]

It's called Shooting Star by Bad Company. Same chords lol

[@dawghousetv]

@@dennismcdonald2607 That's a classic

[@saint9455]

"That's a smash mouth song just with different lyrics"

[@beuxjmusic]

Oh my god, when the Devil trails off as he's rapping, so friggin' funny! Farrell is so good at akward and eccentric lines and characters. A human god

[@grammarnazi0166]

J All of his jokes ever: 1.)Will makes some weird noise with his mouse repeatedly for 10 minutes. 2.) Will says some arrogant comment that proves his character's cluelessness, even when the character isn't clueless. The only exception I can think of is in dumb and dumber. He's a trash comedian.

[@geinikan1kan]

That's King Crimson "Larks Tongues' In Aspic" for Lucifer. Not ironic in the least.

[@FunsiZed590]

Game Grumps brought me to this treasure and now all of these songs are gonna be stuck in my head for the rest of time.

[@harmonicajay91]

What video was that?

[@yosi1653]

😂😂😂 Finally Good old fashion proper humor Cant find enough if it these days

[@heedbanger8079]

was waiting for lucifer to play stairway to heaven hahahaha

[@AaronSilvious]

Or Highway to Hell

[@johnnyteague3407]

Sympathy for the 😈

[@CanItAlready]

Devil ripped off Smash Mouth and Garth ripped off Bad Company. LOL

[@MrAlexjames94]

holy shit youre right. ive been trying to figure out what that was for like....an hour and its shooting star...

[@cbjueueiwyru7472]

CPlusPlus

[@ntom5579]

Garth's reaction looked genuine when the smoke and lightning burst wide open!

[@jdubya7]

this might be my favorite SNL skit of all time... personal reasons

[@masknzgamer]

It wasn't funny thu..

[@damxcv]

@@masknzgamer no it was hilarious

[@chrislars5344]

I'd say the same

[@castigadormarjon]

Needs more cowbell!

[@johnnyflamevlogz8203]

Nice reference :D

[@planetshine]

Song: **gets popular** Interviewer: What inspired this song? Him: the devil.

[@drperkyreal4686]

Musician: I want to be good. Satan: You have summoned me?

[@jetttangel]

Jesus is the one that makes ppl good

[@drperkyreal4686]

Jettt Angel indeed but people still sell their soul to satan
