That bit where he's telling everyone where they're going to be is hilarious

As a brown person growning up in bensonhurst..I know this was a sketch.. but man was it based in reality.. 😮

[@lyndaehrich5809]

As a white person who spent her formative years in Coney Island, I had to stop it at 3:20...I couldn't stand looking at it any more. Will never understand how anyone ever found this entertaining.

[@chrismoher5444]

Perfect example of bensonhurst.. In the 80s-2000s If you are not a pasat boy get f3cked. Even of you were white if your weren't a Tony you couldn't date anyone's sister

This is the first sketch where I actually fear for the character’s life at the end

[@OMGWTFLOLSMH]

Yeah, not much of this was funny because it was too true.

Adam was a natural in this character.

[@troylowe814]

I do not miss living in Brooklyn. I now live in Tennessee and I see far less racism here than in Brooklyn.

[@erikkillmonger5624]

Dana Carvey steals this one. He plays a moronic mook better than anyone. He throws in a little young Travolta, too.

[@podcasterat1542]

Yeah, I noticed the Travolta.

[@stevec3892]

I remember watching this live lol Today they would burn the studio down

[@steveavecillas1114]

I dont think so because the 1990s had political correctness on TV, and we survived .. So how come political correction became woke.

[@JakeKoenig]

How do you figure? This is a sketch of Italian stereotypes, with white people being racist to an innocent black person. This conforms to every 2023 woke narrative. You're allowed to mock white people and white cultures all you want, blacks are the default victims of every story, and whites are the default villains of every story. This sketch wouldn't offend anyone today, except maybe white people who are sick of the racial double standards.

[@DrJ-hx7wv]

He doesn't understand. The same people created this "anti racist" skit.

[@dzsidu]

omg Joe Pesci is hilarious... hope that's not an insult

One of Chris Rock's best sketches, he and Pesci were perfect in this.

[@rashb3994]

That was pretty good! Kind of funny to see Chris Rock play a subtle character. I don't think I've seen that before.

[@s.kreusler5081]

He plays the same character, Kevin Stubbs, in the Sabra Price Is Right sketch. The game show hosts are scared he's going to rob them because he's black, so they just give him what he wants and whisk him off the show quickly.

[@lowlypeasant]

Dana turned into Travolta at the end 😂

[@scottbrandon9390]

These characters would pass for mobsters in The Sopranos.

[@realeconomy5348]

One of the funniest skits I've ever seen. Abt 30 years ago I taped it and showed it to my boss.

[@elizabethcosslett8937]

I never really understood any of this until i watched Jungle Fever. It was a shocker for me.

[@rodney1279TheFlip]

Joe Pesci is a great Dating Game host. Almost does not seem like a skit.

I had the misfortune of living in Bensonhurst for a while. And, yeah. Hatred on wheels.

Not just Bensonhurst, all over Brooklyn (speaking as a Brooklynite). And I'd imagine that applies to a lot of New York.

Never been to Brooklyn - I imagine everyone does indeed speak like Joe Pesci

[@thomascasabona2167]

Pesci is actually putting on a strong Brooklyn accent. You can hear his Jersey accent if you are from the area when he talks like himself.

[@Googliaooota]

Absolutely completely different ... this skit is older than my teeth.

[@D.N..]

His accent is over dramatized , would never hear anything close to it. Bensonhurst is not majority Italian anymore, Asians, Chinese populations are growing. 86th st is mainly Asian businesses, Italian stores are mostly gone.

[@dennismiddlebrooks7027]

@@D.N.. I live there and that is the truth, although thankfully the pizzerias and Italian restaurants are mostly still around, along with some of the bakeries. The Chinese residents are very nice and I love Chinese cuisine. We also have Mexican, Russian, Thai, Sushi and South American restaurants.

[@braddockakalatis2]

I've been searching for that song, but only had the oi oi oi sound to go on. I just woke up and this sketch must've been in my subconscious and when I realized they changed the song I was hoping someone would make a comment like yours. Thank you for getting my day off to a GREAT start!

Really? They feared the blacks but didn't notice the Asians kicking them out huh? How ironic.

[@FRANKIESIXTOES]

Hey just want to mention when Bensonhurst was an Italian neighborhood it was a nice place to live. It's still a fine neighborhood with very peaceful Asian people.

[@D.N..]

@@FRANKIESIXTOES Never heard an accent like that in Bensonhurst or any place ! Stereotype Hollywood nonsense.

[@dennismiddlebrooks7027]

@@justinhearst The Asians bought them out with cash. People who bought their homes 50-60 years ago for $25,000-$35,000 sold them for $1.3-$1.9 million and moved to Florida to live like kings. The Asians liked Bensonhurst because they knew the area was safe, as were (and are) all Italian-American neighborhoods, no matter where they are located. The safest NYC neighborhoods now are the Italian-American enclaves in the southern part of Staten Island. The Italian-Americans and Chinese residents in Bensonhurst get along fine with one another and with the Hispanic, Jewish and Russian residents. There are also a number of African-American residents that get along with everyone else.
