Then again, you wouldn't get nearly as many views. I wouldn't have clicked on '"Dad, I'm gay".

Shoulda be "son goes in"

and what bothers me is.. this is youtube! they can change the title anytime! Swear to god, If only know how to hack I would do it for that purpose

Insanely accurate

I'm not sure what year this sketch came out. But it's almost the same situation with Phoebe and her gay (not really gay) husband.

So is the title of the video...

1982

i thought exactly the same thing :) glad to see another master Wiseau's fan here

Well at least you know where it got that line from. Now to find out where it got the idea that you drop a bomb like 'I have cancer' in a random convo.

😂😂

So...he was coming out as straight?

Hoping for a gay son is just as bad as hoping for a straight son. I just hope my son is the best man he’s able to be. I just hope I teach him all the things he needs to survive and thrive. Frankly who he fucks is none of my business. Unless it’s under my roof. Then it’s some of my business. We should just hope we did a good enough job on teaching them to be good men and good partners.

Right?! I’m straight but I’d learn for Mike

Are you all sure you're straight?

That's my favorite thing about the sketches from the mid-90s and earlier. Around 2000 they stopped memorizing their lines as much, but they are also able to change the script more and write things for breaking news.

@Mrs Robinson If you watch SNL within the past two decades, it's often obvious they are reading from cue cards. It's gotten worse.

@Mrs Robinson I mean, since they do it every week and don't have weeks to prepare, I don't see it as a big thing, but I know they use big cue cards, written on like poster board. Teleprompters are more for news anchors and politicians, etc. Because of the short amount of time between performances that are only done once, I don't see it really as weird, but it's weird to see them do it, but you can tell who is better at trying to memorize the skits. You also have to remember that not all the guests are good at acting and can do the same. Hillary Clinton was in some skits last election and it was super obvious, but she's also not an actress

If you watch SNL behind the scenes, and see how the show works today, they can't memorize lines because lines change down to the last minute, and actually sometimes right before the skit. This is because a lot of their skits are topical and news and events happening now is a lot faster than it was in the 80s and 90s.

Watch Mad TV, no cue cards ever

Not really.

not really cause by the looks of the thumbnail and the title i thought that the son was gay and the his dad was disappointed and was convincing his dad that he was straight. Sorry for the bad English.

Thanks @@waterdroplets1627 ! So it didn't ruin the punchline for non-native English speakers. That's good news!

Title is what made me watch it.

Repent for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.Jesus died for your sins so that you may be saved.

Yeah hilarious... this is pretty unfunny and yet you are claiming it is funny because it fits a political narrative and you want to adhere to that narrative so you can be accepted by your ideological peer group... you are a sheep that is so slow that you will laugh when things arent funny, or lie about laughing, just because you are desperate to be a part of a group.

im straight what do i do 😭

I love this for you

"funny stuff"

The fact that no one acknowledged what you did there saddens me...almost missed it myself, but I remembered I'm a POC on the re-read and was like this is golden 🫡🤣🤣

That's very accepting of you. I have no issue with straight people as long as they don't make it their whole personality or shove it in my face.

XD true, i completely agree and don't hold it against you. I just want what's best for my children.

I support the straight movement, but not when they keep shoving it in our faces /s

Doesn't seem natural to me -- people mixing with others not their own kind.

I also have lots of straight friends, but I don't approve of straight marriage. A man and a woman can have a civil union if they want, but marriage should be restricted to two men or two women, not one of each.

@@lottalove2449 Of course, and I'm sure the entire thread is jokes as well. I'm in a straight marriage myself. However, I am capable of being attracted to both men and women.

We all blame the wallpaper....

"Either that wallpaper goes or I do." -- Oscar Wilde on his deathbead

I like it

This kinda seems like a plain coming out scene. Homosexual person struggles to find the courage to come out, they finally do come out, family angry and shocked by this news. In films, they end the story with a moral like “doesn’t matter who you love, love is love” and family excepts this. It’s just the reason it’s funny in this skit, is because they reversed the sexualities in this generic situation.

That's called being tough

@Dhi Mancini you’re gay

I lived that experience. My mother was/is a lesbian. I didn't find out until I was 16. I was a little slow to pick up the clues. But once I knew, it made her more of a buddy to me. When I talked with her about girls, it was now from a different place. And when we were out and about, very frequently, I would say, "Mom, what do you think about *her*?" I'm sure many families have gone through these adjustments.

Haha, probably did

I didn't hear him say Tom Selleck was gay. I know back in the 80s there were gay guys who watched Magnum. The nice thing is now it's cool to chat with a gay friend about Magnum P.I., especially if he's old enough to remember the original.

@@emilyb.8219 That's what happened with my Pops :D

Adoption, artificial inseminations, surrogacy,

And what if said discrimination happens the other way? That's the thing that ticks me off about people in general. They fight so hard, justly to get out of their own discrimination, yet they never anticipate the notion that the side they are on will inevitably one day repeat the very mistakes the people that were against them do on a daily basis. People can talk till their blue about White Supremacy, yet if one person makes a mention of Supremacy from races that aren't white it's considered a joke until it actually happens. People can talk a big game against Homophobia, but when someone mentions heterophobia, they treat it the same way hetero's treated the LGBTQ for centuries. They treat it as non-existent. Unless we accept the fact that it goes both ways in all aspects of life, we are doomed to repeat the cycle until we are at a point where we don't know what is discriminating what anymore.

@@Shanethefilmmaker that’s not the way systematic discrimination happens..

@@ninicherefe1075 Look. All I am saying is that, anyone who thinks discrimination cannot be both ways even if the other side happens not as often as the one we know happens often, is ignorant. Most of the most f***ed up things that happened in the world, came as a bigger shock because before they actually happened, the only time we see such a concept was in fiction, be it serious drama or over the top comedy. Case in point another hot topic thing, school shootings. Before Columbine happened, the only time a depiction of a school shooting took place were in dark comedy movies like Heathers. After Columbine those movies were not only accused of predicting it, but glorfying it. The same can be said about this sketch. It's original intention is yes, there way of saying "You're homophobic? How would you like it if this happened to straight people." It was treated as a joke then and still treated like a joke now. However due to the track record of so many things treated like a joke becoming serious later on, I'm just waiting for the first Heterophobic hate crime to happen.

@@ninicherefe1075 To make it short. It may not be systematic now, but wait a few years. It will be.

@@Shanethefilmmaker you must be apart of an unmarginalised (white man, maybe). you clearly don’t understand what marginalised groups are and what systematic racism or discrimination is. school shootings has nothing to do with this, that analogy made no sense. a “hate crime” agains a straight person wouldn’t make any sense.. because they aren’t marginalised, there is nothing to hate crime them for, it does not work both ways. you must be a person who thinks “don’t give them too much power or they’ll start to treat us the way we treat them” that’s literally ass backwards and ridiculous. what would a gay person gain from hate criming straight person?
