"What do you suppose he's thinking about?" "Probably where the hell the end of the plank is!" 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣

Yeah we watched it.

[@imacloud11]

"run ahead of him and cut the plank shorter" 😂😂😂😂😂

lol except they could just cut it from where they are standing 😅

Rest in peace, Bob Hoskins, you magnificent man.

[@WaitingtoHit]

He once said that his greatest regret was starring in Super Mario Bros.

[@GHC3]

@@WaitingtoHit he shouldn't, because I grew up watching him in that and he will always be Super Mario to me☺

[@WaitingtoHit]

@@GHC3 Ha, the guy had an excellent career otherwise, but he knew that was a God-awful film. Pretty much every time I see a worst-movies list, it's on there. A true disaster . . .

[@razieltalos]

he was a treasure

[@the503creepout7]

​@@GHC3 honestly, i think the SMB movie gets a bad wrap. sure, it's no masterpiece. but on the other hand, it's unique & for the time period when it was filmed - it had some very ambitious & dare i say even good special effects. The Super Mario Bros. movie may be on a lot of 'worst films of all time' lists, yet it's also become a cult classic. And if you really think about it... can anybody actually name a Super Mario Bros. movie or show that was really very good? that said: i don't know MasterT - Hoskins was great as Mario & as Smee... but to me, he will always be Eddie Valiant.

[@bluelouboyle_]

"any more talk like that, and you'll all walk the plank" "any other plank and that'd be a hell of a threat" 😂

[@jeromeinthehousesowatchyam4237]

My favorite part😂😂

"I wonder what he is thinking ?" "probably where the other end of the plank is " 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@MargueriteFairProductions]

I just want to praise SNL for all the years of joy and taltented people who have performed on your stage. All of you bring all of us, lots of joy and Laughter and more laughter!

[@flashwgordon]

I find it hilarious that in the end we see that the plank is actually not long at all.

[@sigmasquadleader]

The true plank was always the one we walked along the way.

[@zorakj]

I also like the spring.

[@m.g.9468]

The pirate crew didn't realize the sailed right into ... THE TWILIGHT ZONE

[@duckface4828]

i was expecting Will to walk like this around the globe and surprise them by walking of the plank to another side of the ship

[@torridd]

That would have been hilarious.

[@jameslarimer9211]

But the plank wouldn't be straight. It would have to be basically a giant wheel. Don't be so silly!

[@NathanaelTan]

@@jameslarimer9211 Give some time to think, it'd be hilarious and not as cringy as the original

[@qweasdzxcname]

missed opportunity. could have been hilarious. will from behind: "sorry guys, the plank took me here" "but here i got you some chinese food" (chinese guy coming with a horse or something and chinese food for everybody)

[@ferretface8782]

You're too creative to write for SNL.

[@MuttonfudgeRacing]

Bob Hoskins was/is a national treasure.I don't care if he was actually British.We're claiming him.He belongs to the world.

[@JM-lo9xk]

He's great in "Mrs.Henderson Presents" with Judy Dench ...a must see if you haven't seen it yet! Excellent movie 😁

[@GwenActually]

If there's one thing Americans learned from the British, it's how to claim things that aren't theirs lol

[@KD_1989]

Touché

[@katybug6572]

lol FACTS ❤ …loved him on Who Framed Roger Rabbit? too !🐰

[@Turkeythigh420]

I was gonna ask if that was Bob Hoskins.

[@akiyajapan]

Love how you can see the end of the plank and springs underneath at the very end.

[@GHC3]

Shiver me timbers, I finally found the sketch Bob Hoskins was in. His only appearance on this sketch show.

[@mckenzie.latham91]

Bob Hoskins and Greg Kinnear, awesome.

[@betsyduane3461]

The earliest known reference to Davy Jones locker was by the author Daniel Defoe, published in 1726 in London. Captain Kid was executed in 1701.

This is the same joke that Will Ferrel does in the Austin Powers movies as Dr. Evils henchman.

[@AttilatheThrilla]

Shocking how jokes from SNL make it into an SNL movie...

[@Elric54]

Austin Powers is filled with SNL rip-offs. Even the Austin Powers character was stolen from Dana Carvey, which was a sore spot for Dana for a long time. But hey, great artists steal, and if it works, it works. Austin Powers is a legendary comedy!

[@Rougarou99]

@@Elric54 Technically, it was the Dr. Evil character.

I can confirm: 6years after upload he's still walking

R.I.P Bob Hoskins.

[@leefriedman3067]

As if Smee took Hooks wig and hat and fake eyebrows and beard and does a roleplay of Hook after his death ^^

[@Rougarou99]

They say he's still walking...

[@crenee4742]

So great. How did I miss this years ago watching SNL? 😝

[@blueskye6372]

Funny. Could see him entering another country and being asked to show his passport. 😊👌🤣👋👌

The only thing longer than that plank is this sketch.

[@meatyochre9135]

Ahhhhh, I was wondering who that guy was.

[@parapsycho13]

Not only is that plank longer than the tallest tree, it is also apparently exempt from the laws of physics.

[@Kowasi]

Correct!

[@Kostadin_Arolski]

Wow really. You must be smart

[@marcushendriksen8415]

Not necessarily. The end of it could be held up by something. I always assumed that the end of it was in fact on shore!

[@nebulousisgod]

Or it’s a special wood that doesn’t bend. Magical tree wood.

[@mariochristian806]

Lol

[@reydanawebb-robinson9964]

I actually laughed through the whole video!

[@wulfgarbattlehammer8568]

I couldnt stop laughing. Walk the plank. Who thought of this?

[@dryherbvoter]

Tina Fey as writer, Lorne Michaels as producer, Bob Hoskins played in Hook, and Will Ferrell plays in Austin Powers.

[@j2rmo375]

This is just unexpectable

[@jorgepoleo9284]

i like that the captain wears specs

Fun fact: The world's longest Wooden Board is 152 Ft 7in long (46.53 m) and was made from a strong man competition in Szymbark, Poland June 9th, 2012. In technical terms, this wooden board in the sketch would have to at least be 5-7 times that length at an astounding estimate 1068 Ft (325.5264 m), HOLY SHIT. This cracks me up...
