Tbh i didnt understand the references if there is any, or is it funny only due to it's stupidity?

@@ThanosWasRightt No references or any innuendos etc. It was just your traditional Sandler-style absurd comedy.

The YT algorithm also brought me here.

And be worth $440 million flying his own helicopter!

Like Shecky Greene winning the Nobel.

I don't think so, that shaky voice, low eye contact, nervous look was part of his schtick.

Exactly

I think he played it off good tho like it was funny

he is trash stop giving him sympathy he is trash he make you feel bad for not laughing

She is the funniest woman of all time in my opinion.

There's a certain cutesy kind of vulnerable persona that drew a strong female audience back then. Fallon blew up on SNL from that too. It was never about being the funniest for that archetype. Someone below notes that Pete Davidson was the most recent example.

😂

I'm pretty sure he doesn't genuinely have stage fright

@@Alex-vz7qk he said he used to have really bad stage fright

Yes.

He admitted to norm he was terrified in front of people like that doing stand up, said it was the most difficult thing he ever did.

Certain both are true, but his stand up character utilizes the nervous energy

Check out “The Buffoon” on his albums.

Love the song "My red hooded sweatshirt"

Agreed :)

I don't know man..

His buddy Judd should do okay too…

Damn man

Perhaps your cat is on another show.

His cat is Toonces!

Have you tried posting pictures?

Yes. And his entire career chronicled by Dave. :)

Yes!

With a little dash of Andy Samberg

You're right, of course, and Dave was just being imprecise. It was his network television stand up debut.

They're totally different as much as any two on that show.

Yes Morbid Man Music, Sandler is funny and Pete is not

You're right but I think it was a common phrase to describe "A comedian's appearance on a network TV talk show and perform a standup set".

-"Getting a lot of attention as a writer and perfomer on SNL THIS YEAR", I understood that part as 'he was already writing for it, but had not yet performed on it, though he was recently announced to actually perform onto the show'.- EDIT: Adam's debut onscreen at SNL was in february of '91, so I'm definitely wrong, but so was David. The text on his teleprompter was just plain BAD, and so was his pronounciation of it. The text he had to say was written in such a way that he had to say that Adam got a lot of recognition as a writer ánd performer on SNL, and that he had his debut on national television this year. But tonight, he makes his debut on David's show. I think that should be it. Dave just flubs it at the way he says "This year".

He was hired as a writer first then became a featured player, then main cast So he was a writer at the time

@@jasonshields515 a) they are both still network television but b) that's irrelevant since Dave was still on NBC in 1991

Please mansplain more

I believe he wrote for SNL before appearing.

... and that is crazy why? It's not.

@@morbidmanmusic so crazy man.... so crazy 🤪

He’s also a great dramatic actor: Hustle, Uncut Gems, Spanglish, and Punch-Drunk Love all display his ability to be vulnerable and real. I understand his comedic content isn’t for everybody, so check out his serious roles, and let me know what you think.

I can’t stand him because he’s always smiling even when he shouldn’t be like he thinks he’s hilarious. He’s not.

@@patfromamboy definitely funny who u think funny?

​​​​@@patfromamboy You say "He's not" funny, as if your opinion is a fact. Just wanted to let you know it's a fact your opinion is not a fact, but just an opinion. 👍🏻 On top of those facts, it's a fact that tens of millions of people love his sense of humor, and think he's really funny. And because so many people think he's funny, it's a fact that he made tens of millions of dollars just from his humor, and lives an unbelievably wealthy lifestyle from his humor. And your opinion about whether he's funny doesn't diminish any of those facts

"the bounced the orange guy" huh?

So, no then?

Oy vey!

Yea

Comedy that puts ya to sleep.

@@morbidmanmusic Yea

Helicopter to the prom.

@@whiskersb5296 wtf?

We feel like Fred Armisen was a next Sandler in many respects.

@@brucelee4996 r/whoosh

They should have captioned it his late night (Late Night with David Letterman) debut.

"Adam ain’t funny and never was really a good stand up." How would you prove that? What sort of facts can you point to that verifies your claim?

Adam ain’t funny? Hmmm...I'd say his $420M net worth means he is funny to somebody! I am not a huge Adam Sandler fan. I do like some of his films (and I like his dramatic stuff), but the guy is funny in his own way that has connected with millions of people around the world (which also makes him talented).

all the Kings of Comedy in this thread it's awesome

Is this a poem?

you must be the King of Comedy huh

@Scott Burness nope, just my opinion. Didn't laugh. Now compare that to a Steve Martin sketch 10 years earlier and just one motion and I was rolling on the floor. That's comic genius. He was the king of comedy.

right!

You’ve got every right to your opinion, but why make it about him being Jewish?

Back in 80s and earlier, they genuinely bumped guests all the time as these shows were far less scripted and often they ran long.

@@mikestevenson576 Yeah I remember that. I just don't remember if it was a running joke with Dave and Trump back then, as Dave so casually refers to him at the end there.

@@scott8xxx532 There wasn't, but even if there had been, Trump being called 'orange' wasn't a thing in that century.

@@mikestevenson576 I know, I was kinda joking from the get-go.
