Steven Seagal - the only man in history that could prevent Chris Farley from getting a laugh

[@yellowblanka6058]

Especially if Seagal is running at any point in a scene - that's prime comedic material right there.

[@ChickenMcThiccken]

[@jamierosino3762]

I saw the blu-ray version of this and in the commentary they said that Segal was supposed to switch from talking goofy like the mother whenever someone other than him and Farley were in the room and as soon as the two of them were alone he was supposed to switch to this serious killer. Hence why the mother keeps leaving to fetch stuff for Doug. Apparently Segal was so full of himself that he refused to act the goofy part because it was beneath him.

[@horseman4now]

THAT would have been funny.

[@bcoates87]

Interesting, that would have been a great sketch. Sketch comedy is a team game. Everyone else did a great job, none of them were staring at the cue cards like you see a lot of the time nowadays.

They might have overestimated his acting ability. The guy has one acting facial expression his whole career.

[@latenightguitaradventures3022]

The fact he even got to be special forces in a SNL sketch was amazing.

[@Mantinhas]

If Seagal had just stood there looking menacing and not uttered a word, this might have worked.

[@masoudmoghavami6798]

Thats actually a great idea

[@Dick_Valparaiso]

His wife could've sat by him as his interpreter. Chris's character could've been asking typical "So, what do you do for a living?/Jenny tells me you work for the government?" type of questions. The wife could answer, or have Steven whisper to her ear while she politely tells Chris that he enjoys reading books about torture and loves to reminisce about his time in the Philippines. Chris could then say something like "Yeah, I hear it's hot over there ...just like the women. Um, I mean your daughter. ...Uh, you have a lovely daughter, that Jennifer. ...Um, Jennifer is alright I mean. Then Steven (quiet and calculated): "You son of a bitch.". His wife: "He just gave you a nickname!"

[@srldwg]

@@Dick_Valparaiso Yes, something like that would have been better!

[@invaderjaymz]

There was nothing that could save this sketch the moment Seagal walked in the room.

[@invaderjaymz]

@Dougie J you thought the skit was funny???

[@JeffreyHeesch]

You can actually tell where the jokes would have been had Steven Seagal been willing to have a sense of humor. The rapid switch in behavior depending on who was in the room, the mom having an entirely different version of the story behind the tattoo. It's almost like Seagal has never even laughed before.

[@THEQueeferSutherland]

I think the only times he legitimately laughs is when violence happens... Someone got stabbed in the eye? 🤣Rape happened? Hilarious!

[@SuiLover]

Was Danny Trejo too young to replace Seagal in this sketch? Trejo is one of the tough, macho men to have a genuine sense of humour. He guest starred in an episode of Monk and it was funny and heartwarming whenever his character interacts with Tony Shaloub's.

[@IsmailofeRegime]

​@@SuiLover Trejo is actually older than Seagal, so age wouldn't be a problem. The issue is that it's 1991; Seagal was regarded as the next big action movie star whereas Trejo was still limited to minor film roles (one of these was in Marked for Death a year earlier, starring Seagal.)

That was probably the original concept of the sketch.

[@turkishjanitor3666]

This was likely the idea, having him go from that rock solid, confrontational father to a friendly and grandma-like chatty guy when nobody's looking would feel accurate and more amusing, but this dude had to ruin even that beacuse of his ego.

[@aengusk3313]

did anyone tell Steven Seagal this was meant to be a comedy sketch?

[@jwallaby7895]

I think the star of this entire sketch was Farley's cool hair.

[@dewilew2137]

[@trust5977]

It takes some special skills to make a Chris Farley sketch dull. Steven Seagal has hose skills.

[@Sabundy]

what's funny is that Seagal is now about as big/fat as what Farley is here.

Imaging trying to find a big/fat body double to do absolutely nothing in his straight to the $5 bin videos.

Chris was big but he was agile for his size.

3:20 is the closest you will ever get to Seagal being funny

[@ironmaster6496]

And no one laughed which is....the appropriate response

[@666tickets]

I feel sorry for those in the audience. Imagine being there for the first time, looking forward to see the sketches acted out live and in person... Only to see Seagal being the worst host ever.

[@superlex611]

I don't know why he was invited to begin with

[@AbigorRealm69]

Cause he was kinda big in the early 90s

Well, it was a pretty historic episode, even if it was for all the wrong reasons. So they can at least say they were apart of history.

I didn't think anyone could suck the life out of a Chris Farley sketch but here it is. The word banal comes to mind. I would have iked to see Phil Hartman on this one instead of Seagal.

[@tjhall9377]

It has to be super frustrating to be a comedic actor and be placed in a situation where you are literally disarmed from performing your craft.

[@Reggie2000]

I get that Seagal is garbage, but how was this ever supposed to be funny? I mean this whole script sucks. As far as i can tell, the dad was supposed to alternate between being both Mr perfect nice dad, and a psychopath, but maybe it was all and act...maybe.

[@Cron0s91]

Good acting, facial expressions, comedic timing, etc. Not just sitting right there reading a script.

[@Neceros]

Consider if the dad was extremely jovial and family committed the whole time, but has a secret dark side he never shows his family. When they aren't around he could be hostile, intimidating, or overly protective... until the family walks back in.

[@Vill1988]

I mean the skit is very below average but an even decent comedic actor could do SOMETHING with it. Segal just played himself. When has he ever NOT played himself in anything?

[@braxtonslife7779]

@PhoneWalletKeys Don’t snl actors co-write scripts? I thought they did have impact on the material.

[@virgilhilts2552]

@@Neceros exactly. I believe this particular episode potentially could improve if Segal simply kicked Farley's ass while the family is absent. Ironically, Segals forte is kicking ass while being completely serious while Farley's forte is to get his ass kicked, fall down, stand up, make face turn red. Simple but it works. Instead, they're both sitting in this couch doing none of that. It's like having two race cars parked in a garage going nowhere.

Man, before I watched this sketch, I read other people’s comments and watched other videos of people saying how Steven Seagal was the worst and most dislikable host that SNL ever had. And, after watching, this sketch proves that.
