Murray and Farley were famous for keeping certain lines secret until the live airing --- they wanted to see their castmates break character!

Very cool. How'd you find that out?

That line did seem like improvisation from the reaction of both, lol.

I'll tell you after you eat

I wonder if that was an ad lib- Murray and Henry looked like they were having a hard time keeping it together.

Truly words for the modern age.

Don't get it.

Make me a sammich!

I had to explain it to my kids! 😂

Thanks for that!

Never explain a joke. If you explain it, you kill it.

got it!

No need for explaining

I remember seeing this in 1980 and never forgot it. "Lord & Lady Douche Bag"! I laughed my ass off, waited for the rerun, laughed my ass off again and then finally found it here. It's clever writing.

And Garrett Morris gets the best line!

Mine too. I love this one and The doggie Downers and puppy Uppers

@@shannahuffman4655 Great call. I recall one with Lorraine and Gilda putting a tablet into the gas tank to make the exhaust smell fresher. Don't forget the circumcision performed in the backseat of the Royal Deluxe II...!

Dear every commenter on this video: it's sketch comedy, it is a sketch, not a "skit". Really weird reading through the comments and for whatever reason on this video in particular, every other comment says something about this "skit"🤨

Not too funny, dough!

Charles Greene funny skit😊

And one of the final sketches of Lorne Michaels' 5th season before leaving and virtually everyone else leaving with him. Of course he returned 5 years later.

THE funniest! I always wet my pants. I don't mean I wet my pants when I watch this, I mean I just generally wet my pants.

I’m amazed the actors could get through this sketch without breaking up. How the great Garrett Morris could make that announcement and maintain his composure is remarkable. Can you imagine if they had presented this sketch on “The Carol Burnett Show”? While Carol Burnett and the late, great Tim Conway would have maintained their composure, the late Harvey Korman would have probably lost it entirely after hearing the announcement, “Lord and Lady Douchebag!”

Not hardly. The other two were crass, prurient crap. Crap was probably a catchword on another script.

@@robertcrain4428 I don't know the Colonel Angus sketch, but I agree: "Schweaty Balls" always felt like low-hanging fruit...or should I say, low-hanging balls.

MORE COWBELL!! Is one of my top favorites.

This skit was a work of genius!!! LMFAO

This is FROM the SNL channel. They've been posting them for years

LOVE your Benny Hill profile pic!!! I once dated a guy, younger than myself, who used to shave his head...I used to pat his head like Benny Hill did to that lil old guy...I had to show him a Benny Hill skit because he had no idea lol

"There've always been plenty of douchebags in Parliament, and there always will be." 😄

Hopefully the U.S. House of Representatives and Senate may one day be free of the same.

Exactly. And those folks are all great. Great to see Harry Shearer. Anybody who doesn't find this skit hilarious, must be a douchebag!

Bill's brother Brian Doyle Murray is in here as well. He being one of the writers, also had two tours of duty (Along with Harry Shearer) as a player.

This was the very last skit of the very last original show of the fifth season. NONE of these people, including Lorne Michaels, returned for the disastrous and prematurely terminated sixth season. Dan Akroyd and John Belushi had already left the previous year, which is why they are not in it. But Akroyd's brother and Bryan Doyle-Murray are, in small roles. Spoken like a true Douchebag!

The Cardigan/sweater reference completely flew over the audience's head in particular. Nary a laugh. The Argyle intro was weak; not really an invention.

didn't realize Wilkinson is a brand of razor still sold today...

I belive Lord Sandwich is Bill Murray.

@@enigmaparanormal Yes...Earl of Sandwich is Bill Murray....Great sketch!

Not Poland They would play the women also.

LOHHD AND LAYDEE SMEGMA

And Lord Salisbury is Harry Shearer, who does many of the characters on the Simpsons. Mr. Burns, Principal Skinner, and Ned Flanders are but a few of the characters he plays.

Buck Henry graduated from Dartmouth University. One of his classmates and fellow university actors was the late, great John Gambling, longtime morning drive host of WOR-710 AM in NYC.

He was also the first member of the 5 timers club

Try Colonol Angus

@@petercelle1796 Also "The Delicious Dish"

@@stanleytweedle467 good old Pete Shwetty- “good times, good times.”

@@petercelle1796 "mmm... balls... mmm..."

Sure there has.... Colonol Angus.

Oh... You watched the video too?

I love the tech now but I would pay big money to have my life back in the 70's-80's without cell phones and social media.

@@ZepG Damn straight! Lol

Hector Heathcoate, I haven't seen YOU since I was a kid. Sorry about the Patriots losing in the wild card round this year. At the end, it looked like Tom Brady, yes GOAT, couldn't process what had happened. But it's been an incredible run.

@Jerry Booth I'd gotten too accustomed to his presence. My wife and I embraced Saturday Night Live in early '76, our newlywed year. We got up to speed with most of the episodes we missed. In some ways it has felt like I'm still waiting for a new Killer Bees sketch.

@Jerry Booth I feel privileged thinking of it now. In the fall of 1976 I was working the 2nd shift with some Saturdays in the mix. I'd make it home with three minutes to spare before the show started; if I didn't stop to grab pizza or Chinese food. I didn't realize how good I had everything back then. It's human nature I suppose. In your case, better late than never! It did seem that Steve Martin was on SNL practically every week but I'm viewing that through nostalgia-tinted lenses.

@Jerry Booth Certainly true, the show having endured for so long has become a bit of Americana. One case in point was seeing the screen transition from pitch black to the sight of Steve Martin standing there in his King Tut regalia. This was in May or June of 1978. That musical skit is iconic now and my wife and I watched as it was happening.

Speaking of Buck Henry, I wonder in this PC era we are in, if SNL would post the skit with Buck Henry as the baby sitter with Gilda and Laraine as the little girls taking pictures of them sliding down the bannister. Can you imagine of that skit was aired today? lol

@@NSHM122 They couldn't frame that as comedy as everything sits present day.

Hey! Were you sneaking up at night to watch like we were? Didn't it frustrate you to try to find the beginning until you learned that the show started 15minutes earlier or later than every other show? That rmnds me. I going to search for snl skit with secret special guest "Mr. T". That one I'm sure I almost died of oxygen deprivation. I was about 8 or 9 years old. Thanks for sharing.

To be fair I seem to recall the series going into heavy syndication, as well as summer reruns when most kids could get away with staying up late. It was either that, Pong (if you were lucky) or the arcade with it's 5 games (if you were lucky enough to have a quarter or two,) running the streets trying to get booze or pot or looking at your one porno mag for the 20 thousandth time.

Oh. Then I am older than you are. You're my baby brother's age. I used to buy him Pogs. Thanks for the extra info. I will be speaking to him about this presently. I wondered why he was always out of the money I gave him. He's just got busted and he's got some e'splaining to do.

You should pick up SNL Season 1 on DVD, its a riot

GrAmHero: Awww, see? You are MY Hero!!!! Thank you thank you, and thank you :=)

Me too. And Salibury was lost on me too.

You know that's a terrific gift idea!

He was, indeed. A great singing voice.

Buck Henry genius

That's something to aspire to. I'd guess I have not seen the majority of the '70s episodes since the reruns of their original airing.

Fuck Simpsons! South Park earlier episodes are the real shit!

Yes, Harry is a cool guy, too. I had the privilage of meeting him at a film preview several years back. He was showing a film he was involved with about Katrina. Funny, intelligent, and personable guy. Got an autograph. Mainly though, it was a good 15-20 minute conversation, after the q and a, following the film. I did tell him I was a huge fan of This is Spinal Tap. Good times.

Thanks to Buck Henry for the Cone of Silence!

In that sense, it resembles the 1990s "Schweddy Balls" skit, also gleefully crossing that line.

They probably came from either a rental company or a central costuming department buried somewhere in 30 Rock.

If you were to search for this skit, that's exactly what you would type

Maybe we should rename "Psycho" as "The Boy Who Posed as his Mother".

Apparently you have to be very specific when titling videos before submitting them on KZfaq

Very good point. How'd we find it, otherwise, though? If only there was a way!😬

There is, but Douchebag is the word that everyone looks for when trying to find this, so it's kind of a Douchebag-22.
