Rita Snowed in - Saturday Night Live

[@GarrettLoganGriffin]

You know someone is talented when the character they create is made to virtually carry an entire skit for 5 minutes. She’s so good.

[@Downecker]

I love Christopher Walken doing his lines! He never looks at Cheri ! Staring at his cue cards is funny😂😅 !

[@Nalenja]

Yes, I love him - but here I was a little surprised😅

[@LiveFromCharlotte]

“What are you Rita, an angel sent from above?!” Is something I say all the time

[@wolf.eye._-]

LOL 😂

[@suraya1224]

"I LOVE pasta fagioli!" - or as we Italian Americans say, 'pasta vah- JOOL.' Cheri & Chris are hilarious, here.

[@adamjenkins190]

I quote that part all the time. And "oh! Rita! You're an ANIMAL! 😂

[@HansDelbruck53]

"What are you Rita..."

[@bonwatcher]

Walken and Oteri together are hilarious. You just never know when the wheels will come off the skit, especially when Oteri is cursing. 🤬🤣

[@jhlfsc]

"2 weeks after the Epiphany!" 🤣 That is SO specific to Italian neighborhoods that I'm surprised they even put it in the sketch! Lol

[@ruth7603]

A lot of people with Italian friends know about the Epiphany.

[@bonanonymouscrickett5231]

I just adore the Walken man.🎄😍

[@debrabolton9372]

Christopher Walken was great. The chain outside the jacket was perfect. Cheri Oteri was hilarious!

[@sharonbruno5802]

This is it! They nailed it! Growing up in the old neighborhood. She's exactly like my Grandma!

[@joypopoola6115]

She is so good she exist in every culture!

[@JohnAnderson-xw3mq]

Christopher Walken looks like count chocula in this skit with that jacket.

[@HelloNewMoon]

😂😂😂

[@wolf.eye._-]

And without it

[@MichaelHartman-qt4mp]

Count Chocula! Way too funny 😁 😂! I almost died 🤣 laughing! ROFL

[@cleangreen2210]

All my life now I want something useful to come close to my proximity and I say, "I keep it now!"

[@whitelion1111]

Rita doesn't have to go shopping, everything comes to her

[@DLJohnsonHonourofKings]

What did she say? "It touched my porch. Now it's mine." 😂😂🤣🤣

[@Seaker24]

It’s a Queens NY reality show. Salt of the Earth.

[@patrickk.6295]

1:45 Awwwwohh Rita you're an animal!! Walken is my all time favorite SNL host. :)

[@r.edward5701]

My fav part lol. So awkward 🤣

[@gailharris4013]

Yes

[@boopah4365]

I just can't get over how long it must've taken to put this set together!

[@johncbeer]

I was thinking the same thing. Even the snowballs were good.

[@Earthneedsado-over177]

And they had to make the snowblower look like it was running. Funny how it sounds like an electric motor.

[@boopah4365]

@@Earthneedsado-over177 ikr?!..sometimes I think those set designers and stage hands don't get enough credit.

[@samkachakech5719]

That’s exactly what I was thinking

[@wade5307]

I love how simple this is. Christopher Walken & Cheri O’Teri are just so gifted that they take a very simple ordinary premise…a heavy snowfall leading to difficulties the next morning…and turn it into comedy gold!

[@staxmantim]

I can’t understand why anyone who ever saw her would underrate her. She is possibly the most under appreciated cast member ever

[@bettyschneider5268]

The snow blower touched my porch. It's mine now! Lol 😂 🎡⛄⛄⛄⛄⛄❄🌨🤾🏂🏫🏠⛄⛄

[@rickjensen2833]

Did you appreciate her physical comedy at the end when she hopped the front yard railing. Perfect!

[@yellowblanka6058]

She knew the most hilarious way to hop that railing, hahaha.

[@fatboosh81]

Not really

[@kindspirit7]

Who didnt have an older neighbor who wore housecoats all year long with knee highs? Only thing missing is a cigarette and be one of my old neighbors from childhood! :-P

[@redchic]

You described my childhood baby sitter (except she eventually quit smoking. ) she wore rollers in her hair in public to top off the ensemble until the mid eighties.

[@kindspirit7]

LOL I also recall a few ladies in my neighborhood who did same thing. Now they even go to the stores in that ensemble. At least white people do.

[@susanurbanczyk9084]

My Italian grandmother dressed in a housecoat and knee highs. Always an apron too.

[@vanzarockin]

@@redchic did she carry a plastic rain hat in her pockabook?

[@j4yma1ette]

My mother and I love quoting from this sketch! "What are you Rita? An ANGEL sent from ABOVE? I love pasta 'bah-jol!' LOL Gets us every time

[@arc323is]

Cheri Oteri was underrated.

[@razieltalos]

shes just adorable

[@Theupgradeguy]

She is one of the greats from that show.

[@connectingdots3574]

True. I agree. I feel it is due to her not prompoting and following the mind controlled, luciferian programming tactics like all of the other "famous" cast members did and do.

[@TheeCheech1116]

Very

[@AddMoreQuarters]

You're joking. SNL hasn't been any good since the mid 90s.

[@ARTSIEBECCA]

What this sketch needs is more cowbell 😂

[@theowarner]

3:08 “What are you? Rita? An angel? SENT FROM ABOVE!??? I love pasta e fagioli!!!”

[@SkeleTre]

2:45 - "Hey! Guys! No more throwin' shhnowballs, alright?!!"

[@marqueshawalker2111]

The funny thing is everytime she says, OOOOOO don't listen to me I'm bad! It's just so damn funny to me.

[@SS-pu1vy]

Never got to see this one. So great. love a life rewind. Or at least a cast rewind SNL. Thanks everyone who ever worked on this show. staff and all. We have been blessed

[@deaconsmom2000]

I just had the "my kid is in bed and I'm out here shoveling snow" conversation with my neighbor. Her kid was also in bed while she was shoveling.

[@user-bt2lx4gy7h]

Well deacon needs to wake his lazy ass up and help!

[@kathleenyes-cp2uf]

“You crack-pipin’ motherless…”

[@StarkIller-df7gw]

[@greeneggsandham91]

As a 90s kid, I had the exact same two sleds that end up on Rita's porch. The one wooden one and the red dish looking thing.

[@pibly7784]

“It touched my porch, I keep it now”. Lol. She has no house number.

[@bob8776]

I still say “crackpipin’ motherless…” to this day

[@supermansinger2771]

“See how funny it is, when I bury your face, in the yellow snow!” 😂💀😂💀😂

[@be8807]

I miss Cheri Oteri. She was one of the funnier cast members.

[@chriscatton705]

I miss her too

[@Chetloore]

Her and Will were an amazing duo

Walken’s eyes never leave the cue cards in every SNL sketch he was ever in

This is so scarily accurate it's insane.

He used to memorize his lines. The whole Pulp Fiction monologue was something he memorized.

[@charlie-obrien]

Pasta Fagioli. But you got the Queens pronunciation right! Heeeey, Fugetaboutit!

[@tonibauer2949]

A lot of northeast US Italians say “pasta fazool”. Not unlike “Gabbagool”.

[@TralfazConstruction]

@@tonibauer2949 My late-father-in-law knew all of the places that sold the genuine article. Additionally, Dad would grow and pickle his own fire-roasted red peppers. I went through our allotment quickly so I would ask my wife, Dad's oldest daughter, to appeal for another jar or two.

[@tonibauer2949]

@@TralfazConstruction very cool. In the south, many grow their own hot peppers and make pickled peppers. We use the peppers and vinegar primarily on greens of all kinds. I used to make bottles of those and opal (purple) basil, which made a beautiful color of vinegar and tasted great. Used some and gave some away as gifts.

Kristen Wiig and Kate McKinnon are great but they're no Cheri. She was the greatest female cast member ever in my opinion. So underrated.

[@saranyabiswas2057]

I know cannot agree more

[@deaconsmom2000]

They're ALL great, but none of them are Gilda. She was the greatest SNL actor, male or female.

She wasn’t the greatest FEMALE cast member. She was the greatest cast member in SNL cast history, PERIOD.
