Bingo. Finally, someone understands 🤣

Lol

That's a fact. The Last Dance was ridiculous without including this.

You my friend, just made my day, and that's ok

Maybe, though he already had 1 when this was first recorded (I actually thought it was from a year later). Clearly MJs found his post-Bulls career vocation: as a personal positivity coach!

I laughed so hard right there 😂😂😂

Yes!

Pure magic. Magic Johnson

@@wdalts, wrong basketball player! LOL

He's was biting his tongue so we wouldn't burst out laughing... These sketches are legendary

Better than Jimmy Fallon who always broke character

Unqualified? He may not be a licensed therapist, but he IS a member of several 12-step programs.

@@kewkabe don’t forget, he’s also a caring nurturer.

He's a genius. He was treated horribly. But he's still around, doing great podcasts.

Didn't he also become a senator?

@@saintpauligirl8269 not only that, but he's good enough. he's smart enough, and dog gone it. people like him

I don't understand this joke

@@LOUBNAFILLE denial= Da Nile

@@LOUBNAFILLE The Nile River is one of the most famous, longest and possibly the most oldest known river on earth. It was even mentioned in biblical times and and such landmarks as The Great Pyramids of Egypt borders it. It was a funny joke since Stuart acted like MJ was acting like the term "The Nile" which sounds much like the actual appropriate term "Denial".

You know he didn't make that up, right? That's an old saying.

@@whatusername4817 haa I'm French guy and we said "le nil", I didn't think of "the" in place of "De" 🤦‍♂️ Thanks 👍

Care to bet on how many Directors Cuts it took for him to say the "I'm Smart enough" line in front of the mirror?

I was so impressed by Michael. He knew he was so better than most, but he just kept it to himself.

Dazlidorne Jenkins if you believe that then you don’t know Michael at all LoL

If he messed up he would have take it personal

You can also see on Al Franken's face: "Yup, I've definitely struck comedy gold with this bit."

Ron Sheridan ‘dog gonnit people like me.’ Having MJ have to look himself in the mirror on live tv and have to say that is so awesome.

@@letsgetlit2829 Care to bet how many G$$ it would have taken for Kobe to do this? Dude was heartless.

@@MrDanty64 Lolol oof, I was going to say this aged like milk, but then I looked it up and did some rudimentary subtraction and then realized *he died before you made that comment.* You are a dark dude, my dude! You aren't wrong though. However I'd say Michael is pretty similar to Kobe.. in a certain sense? I mean Michael Jordan is kinda well-known for being a notorious asshole. It just makes it weird when somebody is that fucking arrogant, but also they actually ARE the best on the planet, so idk lol I guess he earned it.. Edit: Oh. You also said "Dude *was* heartless". I probably should've seen that...

This has always been the quintessential "back when SNL was funny" skit to me. I had never attended any kind of 12 step meeting (13th step, relapsing, repeating) back then as I was like 12 or 13, but circumstances have led me through a few of them over more recent decades and Franken absolutely nailed it. Messed up people making no progress but acting like they deserve a cookie for one week of sobriety that was really only like 36 hours. And these meetings will definitely show you that alcoholics are far and away the worst addicts. Emotionally unhinged, scary, bipolar, abusive weirdos. Alcohol is an emotional truth serum - it truly unmasks the type of person you really are under all the layers of fakery and superficialiy that we build up over the years. A few drinks tears all of that right down. You get me drunk and I'm gonna tell you 20 times how cool I think you are, how we should hang out more often, how I like your hat, etc. But the true alcoholics are nasty and mean - you dissolve their outward facade of niceness and they are just cruel. That's how you spot an alcoholic - just two drinks in and they're wanting to settle old scores, tell you how awesome they are despite not being awesome at all, accuse their significant other of cheating and possibly even becoming physically violent, usually against women because they're bullies. Two or three more drinks and they're crying, either out of nobody-loves-me self pity or apology. Two more drinks and they're back to the abuse and then they pass out and pee on themselves.

​@idontwantahandlethough my uncle was Bob Munden. His arrogance was legendary. But his talent was ...well...good watch Stan Lee's superhuman and u will see😂

He's Micheal Jordan, people do like him. Kids who never seen his games wear his shoes to this day.

And Barcelona

Facts. Carried him through a 72 win season.

But thats ok...

@@susanavery5348 because he’s good enough, he’s smart enough, and doggonit people like him.

The great artist Man Ray once said "They say I'm 'ahead of the times'.... I said, 'No: I'm never ahead of my time. I'm of my time. It's the others who are behind the times.'" America's sense of humor has changed in the last 20 years. Parody and satire - the playground of the underdog, especially in the conformist 20th century - have vanished as a new mainstream version of the underdog has emerged. But that new version nevertheless REMAINS mainstream. It's still subject to the same satire and parody that power was subjected to in the 20th century. But corporations don't want to lose money, so we lose humor. We're a worse people for it.

@Juanita Wright it literally said "Aired 09/28/91" in the description

@@spb7883 I don't know about the corporation part of that but a lot of what you're saying is right on. Scarier still is if this six feet of sparation turns into The New Separatism between The Masked and The Unmasked and those who dare to go in between the gap, maybe pseudo a la Steve McQueen on the motorcycle in The Great Esacape or like Dustin pounding on the glassat the end of The Graduate...

You say that like it’s technology

It was. Besides a few skits and a few characters it hasn’t been good in like 15 years or so.

He seriously nailed that monologue without having to look at the cue cards. Really impressive, no lie.

Yeah, he is surprisingly good.

Underrated actor, PERIOD! He doesn’t get enough credit for his acting!

@@onlyone23km Space Jam should've let him show more of his natural personality.

@@NotaPizzaGRL for what it’s worth, I think it did. People just thought he was a bad actor, when he did a good job playing himself.

Best line!

Hahaha oh god me too. Have you tried saying his mantra in the mirror in the morning? Normally I can't bring myself to do things like positive affirmations (even though I probably should) because it just feels way too corny. But with Stuart's motto, it's so corny and silly that you can't help but laugh at yourself. And then look at that, you feel a little bit better about things :D

Be the Stuart Smalley you want to see in the world. Remember, you're good enough, you're smart enough, and doggone it, people like you.

Me too!

Kind of the name people know him by

thats the insane line - im hardly a bb fan ... but duh - most people on earth knew of him

I KNOW RIGHT??? ❤️❤️❤️

Except for winning championships. Patrick Ewings dream didn’t come true. Barkleys dreams didn’t come true lol

​@@velvetlensfilms3290😂

Making America's Dance Halls Great again, yo.

@@MrDanty64 Yep, that's about it.

that sounds dope

@@MrDanty64 MADHGA. Lol, sounds like a Final Fantasy boss

And then he starts feeling sorry for himself. 😂

And also by MJ. When He turned to the mirror to do the affirmation, he almost cracked but he kept a straight face.

My favorite line

We aren't old. We are sexy vintage.

I recorded it that night on a vcr

Yup!

You're a youngster. I Betamaxed "Franken and Davis" bits in the 70s...

Same here 😂😂😂😭

What is or who is DeNile?

Abdul Hamid Alonto It's a play on words. The Nile is a river in Egypt. He was saying Michael is in "Denial".

Don't worry. Al Franken brought back Daily Affermations as Daily Allagations in 2017.

Was that a new joke back then? Because now people say it sarcastically and it really isn't funny. In 1991 everyone was laughing like it was so clever & fresh.

very good you mr clever clever pants

I remember that! I agree that they should have shown that on here because it was very heartwarming. This is one of the funniest sketches from early nineties Saturday Night Live. ~Dutch

Very sweet!

Imagine watching it live.

and that’s ... o.k.

I watched it when it aired. It was awesome

It's always going to be good, but yes, watching it when it first aired was truly something special. ❤

I have to give you props. This is a great, underrated comment. Hilarious.

Everything you say about the current SNL cast was said about this SNL cast in the 80s & 90s. And with literally every cast that came after the original Not Ready For Prime Time Players left the show.

@@dildonius not really.. The early 80s SNL was horrible, and the show would have been cancelled if not for Eddie Murphy. The 1990s SNL was very popular and had a talented cast, although not at the same level as Eddie Murphy or the early SNL years.

@@dildonius wtf are you talking about fool?

😂😂😂😂😂

Ben Jarvis It sounded ad-libbed when he spoke that line . Genius

I Dont Have To dribble The Ball fath,Or Throw The Ball Into The Bathket

Thats the best part 😂

I just have to dunk that s***

BroodallyHonest Totally agree!

Jan Hook, Julia Sweeney

@L H There was one female skit that I can remember, and that was Pat by Julia Sweeney, but beyond that, to be honest, women were bit players. So respect to Julia Sweeney.

@L H I don't know why you're being so hostile. I'm stating my feelings and I think I've been very civil. Men naturally identify with men just like women do with other women.

@@BroodallyHonest easy big fella. i've seen L H's picture when one was up on her youtube profile page, and all i can say is woof.

Al Franken definitely could’ve been President. He was forced to resign for nothing.

@@chadwells7562 Kristin Gillibrand threw him under the bud for her 15 minute presidential run. It was bullshit. I'm from Minnesota so I'll admit it's nice to have more female representation but Al Franken was a bull fighter and I miss him calling out politicians on their bullshit.

@@chadwells7562 The election that made Franken a senator was stolen in the first place.

@@schwanbox Not to mention around this time was the whole Roy Moore stuff with him dating teenagers in Alabama so the political climate over sexual stuff was at an all time high.

@Greta Thanos The picture where has wasn’t touching her tits and was standing about 6 feet away you mean? 🤣

Agreed

@@catherinebarkovich5887 Jay I LOVE that movie!!!! I still have my VHS copy. It is one the FUNNIEST depictions of a dysfunctional family that I've ever seen. The flashback of the dad trying to get that classic vacation pic of the kids with the Hollywood sign in the background had me CRYING with laughter. Yelling at them to get in the street when cars keep whipping around corners almost killing them. Stuart's dad is a SAVAGE. That mean ass, drunk ass father just makes the movie: When little Stuart comes up with Sir Cleans A Lot for the Ajax White Knight contest and his dad replies "More like Sir Eats a Lot" or when adult Stuart says he's writing a book and his dad is like "I've got a great title for you :Waste of Space" savage af. What about Stuart's bestie? The story-line for Laura Giacomo brings unexpected depth to the movie. Meeting her bio Dad only to have him hit on her is so messed up. Every time I watch Pretty Woman, I always think, yep that's how her ass ended up being a hooker (As if the two characters are the same.) Vincent D'nofrio gives a kickass performance as the Stuarts drunk older abusive brother who sobers up the "hunting" trip and realizes he has issues and both him and his Dad need help. That movie so fucking funny and out there but so grounded with heartfelt moments.

He was about to break on multiple occasions.

And makes it utterly impossible to serenely do self-affirmations… all these years on.

A bunch of teams have been wishing that MJ didn’t have that affirmation since 1991

Right. He was full of doubt before that because it was hard to tell if he was good enough or not. He thought maybe he was just lucky to throw the ball in the basket all those times before and wouldn't be able to make enough baskets to win championships.

It's especially funny because he clearly 100% didn't believe them.

Lynn Taylor Yes!!!!

Sadly yes, SNL used to be great and so funny, I grew up in the late 80s and early 90s, and those were truly the best years for that show. As a family we used to never miss SNL on Saturday nights and always watched it. Now, I am not sure the last episode of SNL that I have even seen. I probably watch it once or twice a year. That truly was the pinnacle of that show in those years. I don't remember back that far but my parents have also said that 1975-82 0r 83 were also great years for SNL. It sucks today. lol....

@@caseyl3789 1987 through 1995 were the best years.

Don't assume his last name. Stuart protected his anonymity!

Juanita Padilla He was😃 5/19/19

Yes, he was! And had a really nice demeanor and voice.

Thats why i loved Phil Hartman...i think hevwas the best vast member ever. He would sell whatever character he played and wouldn't break character. Love and miss you Phil.

1991.

Yeah. But "amirite" didnt exist in 1991 or 1994, and it was way better like that.

J Stanley Sorry Al Franken!!

J Stanley *Was

Russel Mack Except that the girl accusing him of sexual impropriety was on stage grabbing mald ass and dry-humping Robin Williams on stage. This was all a setup, and she knew it. That's shy she didn't want an investigation. Right-wing swiftboat effort = FAIL.

Spitshine Tommy well smart guy..... 2 have already come forward with more to come. Stay tuned snowflake. 🤣

Spitshine Tommy You are a friggin IDIOT !!

Yeah but I felt bad when his dad got killed. He was probably a really cool dude.
