I remember watching this live and the censor didn't block out that F-bomb at 2:50 in time. Good times.

[@TheNefastor]

Yeah cuz censors can't bleep words at the exact second someone says them. You sure you aren't one of those students in the skit ? 😅

[@joellezima3506]

@@TheNefastor actually most live shows operate on a two/three second delay from real time for that very reason, so the censor can catch and cut if something happens like this. Either the censor wasn’t fast enough or snl wasn’t using one that night. Either way no need to be rude lmao

[@Ahbenmautadine]

@@TheNefastor come on man you can’t be that fucking stupid? Anything live on tv has a couple seconds delay so that they can censor or cut in time when something happens.

[@kurtsudheim825]

Oh to live in the us, I have to watch it a week later on tv, well 6days, time difference. I wondered wtf happened there for a sec cause I didn't hear anything & just seeing his hand go to his mouth I thought it was him biting his fist in anger, rewind & the crowd made sure that was not correct. I just wonder why he said it, cause if it's scoured & he'd learnt his lines, it wasn't a live, as in improv, bit or something of that ilk.

[@kurtsudheim825]

@@joellezima3506 that may be true but it's not the reason live tv is delayed, you do realise as quick.as it is, the info still has to travel millions of miles from one point to another, & usually not directly (satelite or whatever other format). I used to live fairly close & a little elevated from a stadium as a kid, when I would watch a match on tv, I could often hear the cheers with my windows open, if it was a big game (large crowd), & if the wind wasnt against me, escape the sides of the roof when the team scored or whatever noise from what had happened a second or 2 before I saw it on tv. Note think. How slow sound travels, even with conditions right compared to light. So that was probably 5-10 years before this, but it's still strands, even.with fibre optic cables, it's not completely instant live

Here's a fun fact: Mr. Rockwell actually says "You can't be this FUCKING stupid" by mistake at 2:50 (hence the audience laughter) but it's edited out with an "extra-slap-on-the-table-sound" since network TV still doesn't allow F-bombs on prime time TV slots.

[@rakeshverma7895]

Thanks for the info.... I replayed that scene...like...10 times to see what was SO funny that the audience was laughing at so HARD?

which word when what?

[@endlesummer_]

David Bryant same wtf

[@emerald4756]

Because Back to the Future 4 doesn't exist just yet. Only 1 through 3. So it's actually funnier that they're naming actual movies than it would be if they were making up a new movie that didn't exist.
