Life Raft Election - Saturday Night Live

[@blampfno]

One of the best parts of a Walken episode is how out in the open he is about cue cards. Not even hiding it at all.

[@douglasthompson8927]

i`ve been looking for that one..is it on youtube ?

[@fermintenava5911]

Makes him always look like he's in his own little world (which - in this case - isn't far from the truth).

[@jamiehartley4218]

and still funny doing it lol

[@chrisgreulich]

The skit is funnier because of the way he reads the cue cards. The best Guest host of all time.

[@gamervet4760]

My favorite part is that he doesn't care when he's off cue. No one really does. It's Christopher Walken.

[@dylanbingham4997]

Anytime Chris Walken is on, it’s automatic gold!

[@abigailsalmanac]

This was the first and last sketch that Seth Meyers, Fred Armisen and Will Forte wrote together. Hilarious and historic!

[@abigailsalmanac]

@@joshuaraulfrancesbedroomte6568 I wrote that comment a year ago, but I’m pretty sure I heard them talk about it on Seth Meyers’ podcast

It was pretty bad which is why it was their last together

Trying to light his farts with a flare gun to try and boost group morale is pretty epic.

[@lau_dhondt]

this skit is a hidden gem

[@marliesyanke4580]

Yes, yes, and yes.

[@stephennelson6173]

The real hidden gem is 'Connie Stinson talks' they always take it down but can be found elsewhere

"He's had it in for me since I tried to eat him!" No such thing as 'forgive and forget' on this raft...

[@Losfhc]

This skit is pure gold 😂😂😂

[@Finn4life12]

My god this is hilarious. Walken - "Look, this is hardly fair, Gary is Biased, he's had it in for me since the minute I tried to eat him! You have a long memory my friend" Gary: "That was two days ago" Walken: "Well I got no hard feelings on this end, that's just what happens on a Cocaine high" I might never stop laughing

I love that Christopher Walken is willing to say any goofy line.

It was foolish to take a shortcut across Iceberg Alley

[@debrabolton9372]

This was hilarious. Christopher Walken was outstanding as always.

[@Puschit1]

Now let's be fair, he didn't do his "Walken stare" here, he was reading from cue cards all the time. For an "outstanding" performance I expect the actor to at least know his lines.

[@gameguru1234]

The cue card reading makes this even better imo

[@hatorihanso1238]

Used the flairs to light my farts 😀🙏🤣😂👍😀🤣🇳🇴❤️

[@bandilebertrandleopeng7046]

Christopher Walken should have played this character in Captain Phillips. Problem sorted in the first five minutes of the movie

[@andrew_owens7680]

Pirates: "Give us control of your vessel." Walken:: "Lunch is here NAOW!""

man, he is GLUED to that teleprompter. is this rehearsal footage?

[@thesprawl2361]

That gives his character an even more disconcertingly insane edge

[@amytrumbull156]

He literally never memorize his lines when he's on SNL...check it out.

He was like that on other skits I've seen him in too.

[@EvilFookaire]

Having had to apologize too often myself for cocaine highs, attempted cannibalism and gay stuff, I sympathize with the captain. They should give him a break.

[@major_tomtomclub]

Pretty sure that at 4:24 Walken is saying his stage directions out loud when he shouts "Lunge!" and then goes after Seth Meyers.

[@MikeyChalupa47]

I always thought that he said "lunch" but you know, yours makes more sense.

[@PunchDrunkLizzy]

I always heard 'lunch', too. You know, because he said he tried to eat him before.

[@Dbbldragon]

Yeah, he said 'lunch'.

[@Sly88Frye]

He clearly said lunch. Why would he say lunge?

The only thing that would have made the parallels to the 2020 election more obvious would have been if Alec Baldwin had played the captain. And yes, we are all in a lifeboat together.

[@theoverunderthinker]

It will be interesting to see in 2021if we actually are all in a lifeboat together. I think what we will see is who is prepared and who is hungry. Hopefully your choices will work out like you expected. I guess we will see. I am prepared, hope you are. :)

[@theotheleo6830]

This was funny, but it reminded me of a number of grossly incompetent people I've worked with over the years who felt that they deserved to be in leadership positions. These were people who, although they had worked in their positions for years, still didn't know what they were doing half the time. I recall a coworker who would continually ask me basic questions about the group's policies a couple of weeks after I joined the group. He didn't know what he was doing even though he had been working in that group for well over a decade. Despite that, he would regularly whine about not being promoted and that he deserved to be the group's supervisor because he had seniority.
