Paul was a serviceable straight man for the other Beatles and Chris Farley, and he might be the funniest member of some bands, but he's the 4th funniest Beatle. 1. John (no contest) 2. Ringo (See A Hard Day's Night to confirm 1 & 2.) 3. George. See the Beatles early press conferences, his appearance singing the Pirates Song on Eric Idle's show, the Cracker Palace video, and give George comedy points for being Monty Python's Life of Brian patron. Paul is #4. I guess when you're the most talented, hardest working, and best looking Beatle you don't really have to be the funniest. He's still my favorite artist/entertainer of the 20th century.

Two of the best entertainers of the last 50 years. Both legends.

[@tomsinsky5548]

Yes, like comedy geniuses George Carlin & Benny Hill. Or painters Picasso & Bob Ross. Or singers Aretha Franklin & Yoko Ono. (To add 6 more to your "Best Entertainers of the last 50 years list.")

I think Paul McCartney is a pompous, self serving egomaniac. But please , don’t compare Martin Short to him.

[@timlu7684]

This Is FANTASTIC!! One of my all time favorite songs! I always play this for Christmas. What a Great Skit! Thank You Saturday Night Live!

[@raymondcampanini6847]

Paul is a MASTER playing that Triangle! Haha 😂

I love Paul McCartney's vocals! Band on the run is my favorite song he sings. I always preferred Paul to John

[@palacerevolution2000]

I've heard the song a million times, and never realized how good it is. That melody line before the kids come in with 'ding dong' at 5:04 is typical McCartney.

[@donakleiner3592]

This was my favorite episode of SNL ever! The skits were hilarious with Martin Short and the best treat of all… Performances by Sir Paul!! Doesn’t get any better!! ❤

They never tell him if he passed the audition.

[@amazingsupergirl7125]

The children singing just makes my heart happy. They’re adorable ❤️😍

[@jmeyer4321]

Martin Short - never short on his comedic talents!

[@lpalacios1]

My family sings this endlessly every Christmas season! The funnier rehearsal version has Martin telling Paul “just stop saying things!” We quote that too.

Solo Paul Mccartney, un genio auténtico, puede permitir que un cómico le grite y le diga que no cante. Es insuperable. Lo acabo de ver en su gira Got Back, en México, con 82 años, con la energía y entrega del joven que hace mas de 60 años estremeció al mundo junto con John, George y Ringo, si, The Beatles. Nunca Habrá una reunión igual de genio, simpatía, humor y genuino talento que desde su irrupción en la escena mundial influyeron no sólo en la música popular, sino en la manera de pensar, de ver la vida desde una perspectiva diferente y más liberal. The Beatles son un hecho que permanecerá vigente por muchas generaciones más. Larga vida a THE BEATLES. Estoy viendo esto a las 4 de la mañana. Ups! Estoy de vacaciones. ¡Ja!
