Good Cop Bad Cop - Saturday Night Live

[@jackdoyle3863]

Roy Scheider is excellent in this.

[@sgt.thundercok4704]

I was just going to post that. He's smoother than most you see hosting on SNL. Looks like he took it serious and really learned his bits. Hah! He was probably scared being on a comedy show and it motivated him.

[@Tom-bb5gd]

wrong, r e t a r d. garbage skit, as they all were before season 12 and after season 20

[@grawakendream8980]

this is masterful by short. the anguish & pathos of his sad cop is so authentic i find myself welling up with tears. he had the audience in a hush

[@sgt.thundercok4704]

It's masterfully hilarious.

Oh, the Martin Short character is from another sketch where it was WW2 France and he couldn't climb stairs to get to a phone to call HQ for help.

[@rjg7112]

It's like if Ed Grimley were a cop. Martin Short is a master a playing socially awkward characters.

[@grawakendream8980]

because he has the guts to not try to look cool

[@mem1701movies]

Actually the men’s synchronized swimmer became a cop

[@billtooke6642]

This is Lawrence Orbach, who is every bit a classic Marty Short character as Grimley

Martin Short looks younger now in 2021 than he did in 1985... I guess he gave the "formula" to Paul Rudd, lol

[@sassy42]

This one should have way more views! It's a great take on the good cop/bad cop schtick.

I understand he's not a strong swimmer.

Goddamn, Martin Short is a Genius. This is the 3rd sketch in a row I've watched where he's just incredible. And Roy Scheider's awesome. Fully committed to the character and playing it totally serious. Even Jim Belushi's good. Although he's probably just being himself LOL. When the writing allows talented people to play off each other like this it becomes something beautiful. It becomes Art. Thank you to everyone that made this sketch. This is art that makes us Laugh. And we really need that right now. TRUTH. From The Cheap Bastards :)

"I was with your mother. Finally got to the front of the line." One of the all time great mom jokes right there.

Wow! It's 2021 and really this was great acting! Hilarious!

[@tedwolf1716]

Martin Short is a genius (and Roy Scheider is a great straight man).

[@michaelparylak5649]

Sadly Roy Schneider's often underrated as an actor. I always thought he was pretty cool.

[@wadeworkman7283]

Absolutely. He was great French Connection with Gene Hackman.

[@sgt.thundercok4704]

He broke out because of his talent but he just didn't catch enough hits. And can we stop the trite 'underrated' thing? It's so overused and abused. Like this comment. He is not underrated by anyone. He just didn't stay on top after the mid-80's or so. People just use 'underrated' to make it seem like they have a unique angle on something.

[@michaelparylak5649]

@@sgt.thundercok4704 kudos to you sir. I've been schooled🤔

[@Liberated_from_Religion]

Scheider.

[@EarmonkeyMusic]

Nobody who knows anything underrates him though. I think you're right as to the general public who wouldn't put him in a list of the greatest, but he was so good. I'm a huge Jaws fan so I'm a bit biased though. 😆

I feel very protective of Lawrence...

[@sha11235]

He did this character again in another sketch where it was WW2 and he was in a platoon and the whole joke was he couldn't climb stairs to get to a phone to call HQ to save his wounded platoon.

This season is just in explicable. Such massive talent, such fantastic characters, but every joke just dies. I watched a couple of Chris Guest and Rich Hall weekend update sketches, and it was the same thing. Two unbelievably talented humorists just falling flat. Smh. It should have worked.
