[@rorzy33]

we represent a lot of celebrities like, you guessed it! Frank Stallone

[@id104335409]

This story has its ups and downs.

[@honey_bee65]

id104335409 ..... I see what you did there 😏

[@coosoorlog]

what roller coaster

[@freddyrichards878]

It's highs and lows and all that

[@faridfrisby6781]

I thought Diane had airpods on😂

[@virgie4715]

“Come on down and play: is it AirPods or just 1980’s earrings? Everyone’s a winner!” 😂

[@klienmurollo8395]

Same! I was like, wait a minute

[@nicholaswhitman1757]

22 years before spongebob did it

[@danyt3670]

Bruh does she have AirPods on

[@lchristianrojas3713]

Victoria Jackson is great in this skit. Love to see Jon loves and Kevin Nealon.

[@nicholaswhitman1757]

slide whistle stooges from way before spongebob did it lol

[@NISSANZ33]

Lol no credit cards. Ah the dark ages

[@jakeh6980]

The good days. Way less government in our lives

[@charlie-obrien]

@@jakeh6980 The government prints the money, Jack!

[@jakeh6980]

Charlie OBrien Dude you know what I’m talking about with this old comedy. Stop trying to look like you’just read a book on government, and trying to make it your own words and thoughts lol

[@refraktr6223]

The “pass out on the sofa” bit would get the show cancelled nowadays lol

[@klienmurollo8395]

That’s the one that made me go “uh oh”

[@Concetta20]

Oh my gosh. This is still so relatable.

[@scooterdrue]

why did her earrings keep changing?

[@TheGlaiveOfKrull]

Wow, nice catch! Since the show is live, this clip must be an edited combination of the original live broadcast version and the unaired live rehearsal version. Maybe there were some problems with it so they had to "fix" it after the fact for future re-runs. And apparently Victoria had different earrings on for one of these performances.

[@ligv6356]

It's scary how much Victoria Jackson sound like Kristen Schaal

[@DurkMcGerk]

LEVI Kristin Schaal sounds like Victoria Jackson

[@ligv6356]

While I was typing my comment I knew this response will arrive sooner or later:D

[@snatchadams69]

So sad that Vickie went batshit crazy...

[@staxmantim]

Can’t understand why the Hooks/Lovitz exchange got more laughs than any of the Jackson/Martin stuff. New York crowd, I guess. Steve Martin must’ve written this. So sharply silly. Great ending sight gag

[@wisdomprepper]

Well, maybe by the audience, but not by me. lol

[@JustWasted3HoursHere]

I love the Hume Cronin slide whistle... 1:14

[@daverogers5609]

Now this is funny! I hadn't seen these skits.

[@Andrewgtv05]

Live audio of Penelope from Garfield and Friends talking to the dentist from Little Shop of Horror

[@mrchopsticks3]

This is when SNL was at its best.

[@freddyrichards878]

With it's best host!

[@WaffleStaffel]

@@freddyrichards878 ... 1:17 ...

[@Jaggerbush]

A brownstone in East Harlem today is $$$$$$$

[@kgrfirdjy]

I can remember my family always saying to carry at least $100 cash in one's wallet when going out. It's interesting that in the decades since this aired that many businesses, including high end restaurants, have become cashless.

[@paralentor]

The fun innocent all inclusive humor so much missed in present day SNL.

[@kkowskii]

there’s a joke about him enjoying the idea of her getting passed out drunk on the couch how is that innocent

[@hollygolightly8048]

No foul language!! Refreshing!

[@angelsasmrchannel]

​@kkowskii because not everything was taken to the worst extreme than it is today. Back then nobody would have given that joke a second thought because not everything was tied to the worst possible outcome that's why.

[@cdismufasa]

Real life dating is kind of like that.

[@jesse_cole]

Hey guys, lets all overanalyze the jokes and discuss whether they would be appropriate if someone made this skit today...!!!

[@MeWe-fh1lu]

Jesse Cole It wouldn't

[@lyndafaye5878]

very cute! Like to hear Victoria perform a Kazoo with uke SONG soon too!

[@scotshabalam2432]

WE GET IT! The slide whistle plays when ever they hear good or bad news... Also alcohol induced date rape was still semi-okay in the 80s.

[@YManCyberDude]

You silly millennials . . .

[@zunedog31]

REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@magiccheeseball]

Bab M -haha

[@RyanInLA]

2:23 OMFG LMAO

[@pagit69]

What a brilliant piece ! I wonder who wrote it.

[@fragwagon]

Frank Stallone.

[@QuantumBraced]

Victoria kind of looks like a blonde Zooey Deschanel.

[@thatclaud]

Did anybody notice the rape joke? 😬

[@zachfakelastname]

Mike Sully wtf

[@krombopulos_michael]

Claudia yeah it really was a different time. No wonder Bill Cosby thought what he was doing was okay, you used to just me able to make jokes about having sex with passed out women on SNL and nobody cared.

[@insanelyheinousbeefer]

lol hell yyea

[@Blake-re8do]

Claudia Made me very uncomfortable

[@Chris_1129]

No, there was no insinuations of rape. Go out and find something better to do with your life.

[@miriamgreen3973]

Kosher guy wouldn't be there at all but yeah, ha ha 😅

[@Rep0007]

There was a great skit where Victoria Jackson and another player are working a factory assembly line where their job is to put whipped cream on the nose cones of nuclear warheads as they roll by on the conveyor belt. Does anyone know where to find this skit?? Anyone???

I want those chairs

[@ku4uv]

What kind of fancy restaurant anywhere in the world wouldn't accept credit cards? Come on now.

[@MinecraftMartin]

When do you think this sketch was aired?

[@ku4uv]

@@MinecraftMartin It aired on October 17, 1987, but most fancy restaurants would have taken Visa, AMEX, or Mastercard even back then. Oh well.

[@MinecraftMartin]

@@ku4uv Just assume this is one of the few fancy restaurants that don't take credit cards then. It's a comedy sketch, don't expect mundane realism from these types of shows. There's a more recent one about a game show where the host has sex with contestants' wives. It's all fake. These are just for a laugh.

[@scottcrosby-art5490]

Victoria was a hottie

[@peekingduck1]

Steve Martin has looked old for 40 years

[@charlie-obrien]

But he looks young now for 78....Who am I kidding, he looks the same.

[@maxminichiello8898]

christ, they really told ONE JOKE the whole time and said yep, this is good enough to put on tv. wow

[@donald_the_savage1234]

At first I thought he was supposed to be Bill Clinton.

[@ViewTube_Emperor_of_Mankind]

Non-Consentual sex is funny eh. Those really were different times

[@angelsasmrchannel]

That's not exactly what they meant back in the day but okay...🙄

[@teresahall7781]

Awesome.❤️👍.

[@ltcolumbo9708]

So funny!!

[@Katiepowers45]

You can really tell how old this is

[@ltm28]

This is all funny of course, but what’s up with the change of earrings during the skit or am I just seeing things that aren’t “real”

[@noahmiller347]

ahh the coke days of snl...

[@Treyslayr]

You mean the late 70s with Belushi and Chase?

[@bam68]

Hello

[@lyndafaye5878]

Kristen Schsel AND a it of Bernadette Peters ?!

[@tyrant-den884]

the guy in the back had two women with him, probably why this sketch always drives my dogs crazy.

[@guardshack9865]

Money/Sex. Easily written. Remade today it would be political right/left leaning.

[@PhoenixProdLLC]

An example of their dud skits.

[@cydneeyacoub781]

Hey... wasn't it funny when.... the... slide whistle dates? 👀
