Why I'm in the comment section. Love SNL backstory.

That explains why they kept calling them shorts! 👍

So, that is why they keep saying "you are wearing shorts"

He actually was wearing those shorts but cut them and rolled them up. You can see them longer at the end

That’s awesome!! 😂🤣

@@AddBowIfGirl but this is a 40 year old man in a short shorts and a half shirt, not a 20 year old woman. There's is a difference.

Yea I hate will ferrell in movies but he gets a lot of respect from me for his sketch genius and guts.

@@AddBowIfGirl Different if it some supermodel (funnily enough, he's married with kids to a Swedish model). If it was a woman of the same age and build we'd be laughing and cringing just as much.

It's ok. Bring your green hat. Streaking! We're going streaking!

THE TRUTH BE KNOWN I bet you get turned on by him. Come on....be honest now.

fun fact: this is amy's first sketch ever. what a way to start

Michael Paone Productions That's true, Seth's as well.

@@michaelpaoneproductions I didn't know that. She's my favorite in the skit.

their look of disgust and horror is priceless, no butts about it!

Yup. Amy stared at it for like 3 seconds. 😂😂

Amber, Surely you will join me in admitting that Will Ferrell's overall body of work is not great. He had some good sketches, like this one, but he had a tendency to overact. Case in point, his cameos on NBC's The Office. He ruined an otherwise amazing scene where the Dunder Mifflin gang sings to Michael as he prepared to move to Colorado to be with Holly. I would love to read your input on Ferrell's (over)acting. I hope all is well with the O'Leary gang. My wife, Elaine Wilson-Carrocia, and I were just talking about you the other day. Our youngest, Connor Wilson-Carrocia, asked Elaine if we could go visit with "Aunt Amber" on his Spring Break. We plan to travel to see Elaine's mother (aka Gamma Pie). She recently moved into a Senior Living Community. Elaine's father (aka Poppy Bear) passed away in May and Gamma Pie sold the farm to a man named Carl Givens. Mr. Givens plans to develop the land into a new neighborhood (Hickory Wood Estates). Elaine is very upset about this. Gamma Pie seems to be taking it ok. Elaine often shares memories of you and her playing around in the barn and chasing the geese around. I just wish my children got to experience more time on the farm. with Poppy Bear and Gamma Pie. Does your mother still make those good apple fritters? Stop by and see Gamma Pie sometime. That would make her day! Love and hugs, Vincent "Vinny" Carrocia and Elaine Wilson-Carrocia P.S. - We got the kids a new puppy dog for Christmas. It is a little Dachshund named Oliver Sam Wilson-Carrocia. Mandy (who is now 14!) picked out the name. I think it is a character in one of those fictional short stories that she writes for the Literature Club at school. She is also on the Student Council. We are so proud of our little Mandy Wilson-Carrocia.

The thong cemented that skit in history (and in himself) as one of the greatest ever on SNL.

@Donald and Hillary Trump Have you not seen Anchorman,Talladega Nights,Step Brothers,Old School,The Other Guys?

I always wondered why Sean William Scott kept calling the thong "shorts". That explains it.

nationofmillions ...he should be committed

nationofmillions Dude is fearless.

@@1N2themystic he's awesome

His equation was wrong though. There’s nothing shameless about what ferrel just did. That angle of dangle being inversely proportional to meat heat is wrong. It’s fake news, and it’s misinformation which could get someone killed. The actual equation is Length times Girth over Angle of the Shaft (aka YAW) divided by mass over width. That’s the correct equation and it has nothing to do with heat of the meat and shaft angle relations.

@@mcpeewee68 aq1q A a!@@!-°★`°

Ok...WHAT? I'm so jealous. I can't even imagine that you guys can hear much out there over all of the audience laughter

@@mcpeewee68 I arrived just before showtime and a staff member walked over and asked me if was going to the show. I told the truth, I'd love to see the show but I didn't have tickets. He handed me two tickets and wished me a great time. Such a memorable show, and everything is closer in real life so you can definitely hear it all... Just imagine a live theater show only it's being televised.

@@ambermassey2994 That must have been sooo fun. Seeing Will Ferrell like that must have been so hilarious. Is it actually done at night? Or earlier in the day?

@@mcpeewee68 So very fun! There was a really special energy to the show that night - because we'd been gifted friends and family tickets we were personally escorted to our seats, even got invited to the after party... Such a very special night

@@ambermassey2994 That's so great! What a memory 🤗

He was making me laugh a lot. He really couldn't even show his face

"What would Seth Meyers do"? "It's not something I would do". -Norm

Seth Myers is a hack

This was his first ever sketch, he was probably wondering what the hell he's got himself in for

Marcus Laurel hope you are happy now. you must have a killer nugget pouch to call me out like this.

Stan Buczak I'm overwhelmed with joy

Buch 😂😂😂

69 female scientists agree.

He's quoting beavis

The monthly comic 'Honey Hooker' in HUSTLER magazine, back in the mid-to-late 1970s had a Teacher character in one comic who said: "The angle of the dangle is equal to the mass of the ass" (or something like that). Hey, it's been over 40 years since I read that comic!

Calculus 4...there is no calculus 4...topology disproves

It was in beavis and butthead. First time I heard it

I first heard it in a Beavis & Butthead episode in the early '90s. "The angle of my dangle is inversely proportional to the beat of my meat." 🤣

@@patricktilton5377 Only thing I recall (well, not the ONLY thing) is Chester The Molester. Knew a guy named Chester who didn't think it funny bc that became his new name. Insisted we call him Chet.

He used cue cards. They all use cue cards.

@@hgb0005 yeah but some can't pull it off without averting their eyes to the cards.

@@MrMusicGuy1980 I saw a documentary on SNL once. Apparently, the writers are constantly making changes, sometimes while the show is live on the air. That's why it's so obvious when they're reading cue cards. It's also why Bill Hader's Stefon is always cracking up.

He kept on saying shorts when he’s practically wearing a thong

Dean Martin used cue cards just thought Id put that out there srry

Василий Костомаров Get out

Ultron- 9 right? Im 32 and this was my favorite years. Will Ferrell, Cheri Oteri, Rachel Dratch, Amy Poehler.. Yess!

Michael Nonya: I'm old enough to have watched the original broadcast of season one. Every SNL era has its classics, even the dark years. That makes this a genuine classic is the real reaction from the cast. I suspect that the outfit that Ferrell wore was much more tame in rehearsal and that none of the cast knew that he was going to be wearing that thongy thing live. I enjoy watching them work to maintain their composure and stay in character throughout the skit.

The show has had incredible years, horrible years, great shows and terrible shows, great skits and some really terrible ones.....ALL along the way, since October 1975. Some people who worship the first season with the first cast forget how bad the prehistoric Muppets were....if they remember them at all. The years 1980-1982 were horrible...until Eddie Murphy basically saved the show. The show has had major ups and downs, all along the way. Here's a listing/ranking of all the people who were on the show from 1975 though 2015.....some brilliant, some awful, and some NO ONE remembers, not even their own parents LOL. www.rollingstone.com/tv/tv-lists/saturday-night-live-all-145-cast-members-ranked-146340/?kwp_0=176929&kwp_4=717079&kwp_1=362160

I'm glad that idiot Fallon wasn't participating. He would have ruined it all.

That's how he became the successful actor he is today

I had such a crush on him back then lol probably because the whole American pie era

He did break his bearing at 4:01 you can see him smirking behind his hand which was a real laugh not his usual smile.

I hope you are joking.

@@TommonSensePro who me?

How bout when he almost got cheek to cheek with her while getting his coffee? I'd have lost it... Lol!

She will always be Andy’s little sister to me.

This actually was her first ever sketch

How? Hahah she was on there for eight seasons and cohosted the weekend update for four years. She was promoted to full cast member in her first season. So for basically her entire run on the show she was a prominently featured cast member.

This was Amy's 1st show!

Love that guy!

Very much the two kids in class who had to be seated on opposite corners of the classroom.

His laugh at Amy at the very end 'cause Will rested his bulge on her neck makes me laugh

I agree 💯💯💯

Jimmy's fake. Heratio is real, Jimmy just follows suit

Will has to tell them not to break at 2:40

*The Heat Of My Meat*

What the hell are you talkin about?

Deena Daggett get out of here!

haha.

I swear that's a term used by my geology teachers when talking about the angle of subduction plates. I now know where they got it from xD

bones22j it was in the second post-9/11 episode snltranscripts.jt.org/01/01b.phtml

definitely wasn't, Reese Witherspoon was the 1st host after 9/11, I remember it like yesterday. This was the first truly great sketch after 9/11 though.

bones22j this skit single-handedly brought America out of its post 9-11 funk.

I cosign the missing snl the struggle is too real help us out here snl😢🙏

me too!!! i'm dying to stay at home

yeah..what's up with that? I can't find any new stuff

Actually, Gibert Godfrey is the one who broke the Ice at Hugh Heffner's roast with his God Awful, relentless, balls to the wall, impromptu release upon the public of the Aristocrats joke. Perfectly appropriate for a roast of Hugh Heffner, actually. And Steven Colbert's Truth to power (the entire Bush administration and everyone else in the room) at the 2006 Whitehouse Press conference was none other that comedic revolution. It was still taboo at that time to question authority, but Colbert didn't just roast them- he incinerated them. (Don't get me wrong, though, I'm in no way discrediting Will Ferrell's patriotic bulge and ass cheeks. Ricky Bobby & this glorious SNL skit will definitely go down in the anals of history for post 9-11 comedy relief. 😉)

@@themaggattack Well said. 👏

9-11. Not 9-1-1.

@@themaggattack Actually plenty of people were fine with laughing. To be honest.

Ya no one needed permission to laugh. It was terrible but I was still laughing at stuff

tbh i think you're right

The Hamburgaler the heat of the meat

I've never put much credence in either theory of SNL having bad writers or a lack of onscreen talent. I think SNL can pretty much have their pick of up and coming talent (on-screen or writing) that know a stint on SNL can stamp their ticket to whatever entertainment industry ambitions they have. They also have the gravitas and resources to pull in "hired guns" (like Alec Baldwin, this season, to be Trump) for extra cast "firepower" or dedicated alumni willing to come back for cameos and help out with writing, recruiting talent and so forth. To me, I think the problem is that they assemble the talent and it doesn't always mesh together into a good team. Maybe the writing styles don't match the strengths of the performers or the cast has a lot of people with the same/similar talent strength and it leads to the skits all being similar and keeping any recurring characters from breaking out and getting popular or cast members don't get along, etc. It's a similar dynamic like you see in a sports team that brings in a group of talented players but the team doesn't perform close to as good as the talent indicates it should. The common denominator of seasons considered to be among the all time best are that they have multiple recurring characters and the fans are always looking forward to which ones will be on the show this week and how long until the ones that weren't will return. Any of the "average" sketches that are amusing become funnier when sandwiched between sketches of popular recurring characters.

Second. Sorry to correct you

That's the BIG question.

He almost breaks at the beginning when he walks in and looks at Horatio, he manages to keep it together to go get coffee and took that time to recover (and show his ass).

It was actually Amy and Seth's second episode, and the second episode post 9/11... Reese Witherspoon hosted the week before

That actually did mean a lot when they finally came back after 9/11. It felt normal, almost, again. United we stood. What's it going to take to get us there again, without trauma.

Ya. Saw it. I'm sure he had some helpful cream in his dressing room. But even for women. Ouch. Love his dedication.

now he wears tight pants- and he's the only one!!

I remember seeing on a special that they explained that the shorts were regular short shorts but before Will entered the room he rolled them up tighter to get a big reaction.
