The Laundromat - SNL

[@subtlebluntduality5997]

Here's an underrated comedy gem. Two talented performers who could be funny without saying a word. You don't see that often! RIP John & Gilda

Hey its so sad that such funny and good looking guys are no longer around. Girls should ease their tantrums and don't take my innocent attention towards them as harassment cause life is short

He died 40 years ago today at the ripe age of 33. Hard to believe that he would be 73 years old now. You were a comedic genius John. I am mad that you just thew your life away. You still had so much more to give. You and Gilda were the first to go and both of you are so very very missed.

Take me back to these days!!! God rest in peace Gilda and John. Those days were the best

[@nope4no1]

Sweet sketch, for too many reasons to list. Miss them both.

[@PIXPromosMore]

You Never see humor being told without Dialogue these days; SNL should try to do something like this again in the future.

[@freddyrichards878]

Yeah, they wouldn't have to look at cue cards this way

[@jeannedubrasky9968]

I know Saturday night live was so amazing and funny the first twenty years. These skits were so good. Still say some of the things from some them. And laugh. They lost their creativity and innocence and they write to hurt people or belittle them now. That’s not what it was founded on or was when started.

[@floraline7153]

@James Grimaldi Meh, I'm someone who doesn't think that harm or violence, even if unintentional, is funny. How exactly does your link relate to this Radner-Belushi skit?

They are too liberal to do anything truly funny now. It all has to be a bash fest on Conservatives. The 70’s and 80’s were the best days of SNL

[@chrisdrummond8893]

Adam Hopchop, because Gilda Radner was charming and lovely. Man, if you can find a lady or you have a lady with that kind of sense of humor, never let her go.

I now watched the laundry sketch several times and I love the way it was played. Belushi and Radner will not be forgotten. Though they will be missed,they will be there in our hearts forever. I will continue to honor and carry 🙏 on with their legacy. Saturday Night Live will be my favorite show for all time. Euphemia Riley

[@catherinepuntonwilson57]

Albsolutely miss these two alot! Taken both to soon from this Earth. 💔💔 John Belushi and Gilda Radner, always 2 of my Favs. Watched SNL almost from the beginning in 1975 as a teenager. I’ve actually theater background imitated some of Gilda’s characters! Lol. I have the same birthday as Gilda, June 28, tho i younger. She was amazing as John was as well. There will never! Ever! Be a cast of SNL, like the original cast. TY for Blessing us with your gifts that we still can be blessed with, G.R. & J.B. ❤️💔💔❤️

[@leahmae125]

So young and so brilliant. Great talents that were taken too early.

[@Foxtrot81322]

Adorable as Hell that was. 💛💛

[@TheAverycross]

First time I watched this skit from the very first season and I love it already. Thanks so much for sharing this. As John Belushi and Gilda Radner demonstrate here, silence does speak volumes and they express themselves beautifully and make me laugh at the same time with their characters' unspoken passion for each other. I'd like to see two of today's cast members perform this classic sketch (preferably set in the 1970s when this sketch first aired) not only to honor the memories of John Belushi and Gilda Radner, but to honor SNL's history and legacy.

[@rouka120]

[@LavenderGirl89]

I love this sketch!! U can understand what both are meaning without any dialogue. I don't know why but John always gets me going when he smiles and raises his eyebrow. That man had a lot 2 give and I can't help but feel bad that if deep down he hadn't of felt as insecure as he did, he wouldnt have become so heavily addicted 2 coke! He probably would have "Tried it, then Bye'd it! Such a sensitive person. Thanks 4 all your artistic moments from sketches, TV Shows etc both John & Gilda!❤

[@YolandaAnneBrown95726]

I'm seriously doing the laundry as I'm watching this. $2 to wash, .25 for 11 minutes to dry. R.I.P. John and Gilda. 🌹

[@maryrosekent8223]

Anne Brown Where do you live? Here in Fort Bragg, California, it’s $3.00 for a wash and $0.25 for eight minutes.

[@Lauren_210]

Mary Rose Kent In New York, the apartment I still live in at the moment has $1.50 for small washers, $2.00 for large washers, and 50 cents each for 15 minutes of drying.

[@maryrosekent8223]

Lauren210 Mendocino County is huge and Fort Bragg, which is on the coast, is hampered by its remoteness. There’s only one town that has a population in the tens of thousands and it’s more than an hour away on a winding two-lane road, so no one’s going to pay $3.85/gallon for gas to save a buck or two on their laundry.

Thank. you. I'm so glad I wasn't the only one bothered by this, especially since in the universe of the sketch they just met each other. Like I would get it if they were couple who lived together, but since they weren't my mind after that was all like "You just met meaning you don't know where each other have been. How can be so trusting you are going to CATCH something."

One of the most unique SNL sketches I've ever seen. Romantic pantomime. Nothing shocking, just a cute humorous story. I wonder how that would go over if they tried it on the current show? They would probably feel the need to put poop stains in the underwear or something like that as a punchline.

[@karlhungus5554]

@@annhalton1963 Hi, Ann. Given current times, I wasn't sure if you were being serious or if that was sarcasm. Having grown up in the 70s and 80s, I get the humor angle. It's just that I wasn't sure in which direction you were going. Initially, my response was going to be somewhat in kind, further devolving the imaginary story, but the state (or, lack) of humor today made me be reticent to do so.

[@annhalton1963]

@@karlhungus5554 Karl, I was being serious and sarcastic at the same time. Today, in America, women still do the majority of household chores. Sometimes I think we are going backward, as mothers seem to be mollycoddling their boys more since the late 1980's. ANYWAYS, it was a great skit and I don't mean to detract from the brilliance of John Belushi amd Gilda Radner.
