Sup Scott?

It's been great having a new Scott Cramer every week for three weeks. (I assume this was the last one for the year.)

Gotta be honest Scott, when I first found your channel I thought it'd have millions of subs, when I saw the actual count I was stunned, your humor and video format is off thar charts and I can tell your gonna make it big one of these days, keep grinding Mr. Cramer!

Wait a second, is Post Malone your top patron?!?!

Ya know, Scott, one of these days I'd love to see you pull a fast one on us with the sponsorship segment. Maybe something like "(Standing by your bed, in a similar framing to the ad read in this video) Speaking of beds, you know what one of my favorite activities is? Crawling into my nice cozy warm bed (yall are expecting a helix sponsorship message at this point) after a nice filling dinner from today's sponsor, (pull out the box) Hello Fresh!(bam! hit em with the plot twist! Keep on their toes)"

i didnt even know they were based on snl until just now lol

@@soulsparx idgaf what Scott says coneheads was one of my favorite movies as a kid! Especially cause Farley was in it

I love the blues brothers and honestly had no clue it was a direct spin off of NSL. It's one of my favourite movies and I grew up watching it all the time. I'll never forget the first time my dad put it on warning me it's full of swearing. I expected some boring drama movie because usually if my parents put on a movie just for them it was lame at that age (I was 8.) I was fucking blown away, and it is even better as an adult. Classic movie and wish more people my age knew it.

@@carlitosway471 that movie full on fucking traumatized me as a kid. I couldn't stop crying I was so scared of them. I picked it out at blockbuster thinking the cover looked fun, my mom heard it was funny so thought we could try it out. She was disgusted by the humour, between that and my crying we turned it off after 30 minutes. I had nightmares for weeks about the dad unhinging his jaw and eating my feet.

@@soulsparx Same

Nowadays we have many Pat's.

@@FTChomp9980 that’s good

Ted Lasso comes to mind.

I might be wrong, but I remember in the snl oral history, I think Lorne Michaels mentioned that nobody liked the idea for a movie, but nobody could stop Julia Sweeney from making it because she owned the character. It is the only snl movie that isn't produced by universal or paramount and the only one where Lorne Michaels is not credited as a producer

I'm more curious about the Ween cameo

And they did Soul Man of course. Great episode.

@@clayjack9969 Hug me brutha

Oh I didn’t know about that! Glad I’m not the only one who thought it wouldn’t be a great idea 😂

Wonder if Bill Hader would wanna do it though? 🤔🤔

Interesting... How did Carvey and Spade react to that? (two guys who have been in movies based off TV sketches)

I don't even consider those to be sketches. Stefon is a side piece for the Weekend Update portion of SNL. In my opinion, they should do away with all of the interviews. I never consider them funny. It's possible they were in the '70s and '80s.

@@NicoAnimation they were really understanding. Check out the podcast to hear the details. I think it was about understanding that a bit or a sketch doesn't always translate to a movie and that's okay.

Good Burger was one of the best movies of the 90s.

@@FTChomp9980 Welcome to Good Burger, home of the Good Burger, can I take your order? but my favorite Kel line is "Who loves orange soda?" but it's from a totally different sketch

And they’re allegedly making a sequel for some reason

i love movies where the sets are so large and cartoonish and good burger is one of the best ones for that

Omg you’re totally right! 😂 All That was the gift that kept on giving.

Blues Brothers is so pointless plot-wise and yet you feel along for the ride for the nonsense they’re going through. Truly love the movie because it’s a perfect deadpan comedy to me.

@@StayEmilino i agree, i just love how determinate and especially seirous the Jake and elwood were, hell even at the end when they are faced by like a million guns and arrested they are barely faced

The movie did have a killer soundtrack. And some fun car chases

@@StayEmilino I think what only enhanced the film, ironically, was all the behind-the-scenes drama that was actually going on in the late stages of the film's production. "The Blues Brothers" is one of those rare films where the behind-the-scenes spectacle is equally as fascinating and telling as the film itself between its early screenplay and budget complications, to Belushi's cocaine-infused escapades and grappling with addiction, to having to secure all those cars they destroyed over the course of the film, all the way up to a knee injury Belushi suffered late in the film's production and actually going so far as to anesthetize it just so that they can film him complete the scene. When you take all of that in, it probably enriched the sense of urgency and determinism on their part to see this project through to completion adversity be damned, and in turn it just makes all the nonsense all the more captivating and authentic. It's just a crying shame that Belushi lost his battle with addiction shortly after the film's completion is all.

@@StayEmilino I think the original commenter is explaining the humor of the SNL "skits" with the blues Brothers, not the movie. As Scott had a hard time deciphering the humor of their SNL apparences specifically.

Did it come from something, or just on sight the first time you saw them you gained a phobia?

No coneheads looks so goofy I want to rewatch it

I HAVENT seen it until this vid tho

Oh my god I had something sorta similar 😭😭 when I was little me and my mom would go to the dvd rental place and every time I’d walk past the coneheads dvd and it scared me so bad I swear

@@_ramm the energy was just dark idk how else to put it

Me too!

I watched it in my native language, which was probably for the best, because it's so packed to the brim with linguistic jokes, you'd have no chance of keeping up if it's your second language. The whole movie was so ridiculous, I really liked it a lot :)

Came here to bashfully say this

My family loved that movie growing up so I assumed everyone did

Samee

I think the comedic aspect about the Blues Brothers movie was the deadpan delivery. The most ridiculous crap would happen and they’d just keep moving on as if it wasn’t a surprise. I didn’t grow up with old SNL but they way that the movie provided slapstick comedy in the most serious delivery was truly amazing. Not to mention, the songs were 🔥

@@StayEmilino it's an all time great movie IMO. I still watch it all the time. It always kills me when they're in this giant chase scene with cops through the mall and they're just commenting on all the new stores that have come in.

George Carlin is an interesting example of someone who you wouldn't expect a punchline from

@@screwyourhandleWhat they meant was that George Carlin didn’t host the way hosts work today. He wasn’t in any sketches, he just came out and did some standup 4 or 5 times throughout the show.

@@waltascher right, and also that they wanted him to host full time. Rotating hosts feels like a core aspect of SNL

It's 106 miles to Chicago, we got a full tank of gas, half a pack of cigarettes, it's dark... and we're wearing sunglasses. Hello, fellow Chicagoan!

@@TheSevenEmbers hey, I’m also in Chicago! It’s nice to see a little gathering here :)

Grew up in Aurora and so Wayne’s World and Blues Brothers are classics to me. Same with Ferris Bueller. Chicagoans love movies about our city so it’s no surprise we supported these two were so successful especially with SNL’s Second City history.

@@StayEmilino have to throw in the rest of the John Hughes Chicago area films… The Breakfast Club, Uncle Buck, Home Alone, Sixteen Candles. Classics. I’ll even throw Curly Sue a bone, lol.

@@TheSevenEmbers gosh I didn’t even realize how many I’d left out. My favorite genre of movies is just anything set in Chicago! 😂

I'm not even from the US and I didn't even know about SNL but I liked "The Coneheads" as a child in the early 90s.

Agreed! Coneheads was amazing! So many good one liners too. But definitely a product of its time.

Ren & Stimpy too!

Agreed! I liked it❤

Came here to say this. Although I knew it was from a sketch (admittedly from Drake and Josh lol) it is still an objectively good film. Definitely the best musical comedy film imho.

My dad and I will always order three orange whips at bars

@@krossbow_ haha nice you know every time I go to a restaurant I order three fried chickens and a coke

And Carrie Fisher is there

@@Darthvader468 very true, honestly the first time I saw her in something outside of Star Wars and she was great, had done of the best jokes

Yeah, it does feel like a bygone era now…. Damn, that makes me feel old 😂 Too much media available now for anything to be so uniformly culturally significant. Kinda miss that, the nostalgia is great though. Back in my day (walking to school, in the snow, uphill both ways, etc), we had NBC, ABC, CBS (Fox had a come up with Married w/ Children and BH90210), and super basic cable, so we were all watching the same things. Makes for great nostalgic moments for us elder millennials, but it’s a rarity these days… I’d say GoT came close, kind of The Soprano’s level, everyone’s talking about it the day after. I think having whole season drop at once also makes a difference, it’s 1 time hype vs. 10 weeks of hype. Episodic dropped shows just take more space in our memories, individually and collectively. And before that, they legit had 3 channels that just shut off at like 10pm, at least I had reruns of Roseanne and Night Court to keep me up, lol.

I think that’s more because there were fewer things to watch. The same way EVERYONE watched American Idol; in the early seasons, you would show up to work/school the day after an episode aired, and everyone would be talking about it. That doesn’t happen at all today with basically any TV show, because of the sheer quantity of shows out there to watch.

I feel it's like how professional wrestling is now as well. Think back to the 80s and 90s and maybe early 2000s if you grew up then. I never watched wrestling at all, but I still knew most of them just from culture osmosis. Try to ask me now about current pro wrestlers and I'd have no idea. Does SNL even still have recurring character sketches?

David S. Pumpkins, though??

@@FrenkTheJoy definitely not David S Pumpkins, lol. He’s not a character as much as a caricature.

So it's a film based on a commercial lol

At first, I was hesitant because I knew it was based on a commercial so I waited to start watching the show until the whole first season out and I got to read some reviews to see if it was worth it. Well, the answer is definitely yes. It's amazing.

@@stacysgrapesoda800 it was way better than it should’ve been

i grew up in the US and my dad is both a fan of old SNL and adores the blues brothers and i didn’t know it was an SNL movie. so it’s probably not your fault

Blues Brothers is in my top ten and I had no idea either lol

I learned it was an snl sketch after seeing the Drake and Josh episode where they perform “soul man” lol

Don't worry! Us Americans had no idea either 🤣 as popular as SNL seems almost no one I know watches it.

I'm the same with Wayne's world

Same 😂😂😂😂

Why did it scare you ???

Same, but i also happened to watch the movie and it terrified me. 😭

same

Honestly having rewatched it recently it holds up haha like the jokes are all still there you just have to push past the surface level of cringe

I love superstar

​@@nicholas7695the superstar sketches in SNL were so bad to begin with, they literally let Molly Shannon do any crap she wanted on SNL those years after they fired Sandler, Farley etc, there was barely any quality control, and the movie Superstar is equally worthless, absolute disaster

as someone who is also from chicago, i’ve heard that people from illinois especially love blues brothers because it was filmed in chicago so we take great pride in that lmao

Hot Rod is S tier

That movie was a stoner classic. I saw that movie and laughed my ass off and that fact they got the guy from deadwood to play his step dad.. I wasn't a much fan of coneheads and ladies man.

@@Shinkajo Oh! I had nine back surgeries, and during that time I had MRSA develope. [Antibioic resistant staph infection.] Which in turn led to kidney failure, the artery over my intestant collapsing, and pancreatitis. All at the same time while I was also fighting the infection. It was 3 years of that, plus an additional year of waiting for getting the clearance to become a member of society again. So from 2005 to 2009. I was 13 years old at the time things started. I survived, clearly, but it has left me with disabilities to this day that I deal with. It took a long time to get used to being around people again, as I wasn't even really allowed to interact with my siblings much either. So a lot of it was having to find outside sources of happiness, as I wasn't able to focus long enough on things to draw or write-- my usual route of escapism. Which, again, led to depression and in turn discovering many comedies. Being able to laugh at the ridiculousness of life felt better than drowning in misery, ya know?

@@Shinkajo Here's to hoping it stays that way! I wouldn't wish what I went through on anyone. BUT, that all said, one person's suffering doesn't erase another's. I'm sorry that things have been rough for you, as well. Especially to the point of calling your life 'shitty'. I wish you nothing but happiness and for you to find as much enjoyment from life as possible.

Bro facts the double decker line is funny af still 😂

Yeah I have no idea why the movie failed.

@@Shinkajo bro corrected someone and wrote "frase" lol

@@nightgenerator beat me to it

@@Shinkajo don’t get so offended, no one cares English isn’t your first language…..

Great cast too! It's a real who's who of 90s comedy character actors.

I love it too

Exactly!

EMILIOOOOO

I don’t think he watched the same movie we did, it def is more DEEP then just some dude who has an arranged marriage

I broke the window again!

Same had no idea it was even a snl sketch

It’s the male version of Romy and Michele. They are both great movies

@@PunkSadieLady yes i love that movie too!

I was born 8/8/88! 88 babies! But I'm confused because Superstar came out when we're in middle school..how was it considered a classic? I remember my friends went to see it without me (I was pissed) and they said I was the superstar chic (something I would be honored to have the title of now because I LOVE that actress) but I was very insulted back then. My "friends" were asshole bullies. Middle schoolers period are assholes. It came out in either 6th or 7th grade..I forget which year it was. I block a lot of that time out! Edit: ohhh..you meant the show 😂 my bad, I was still at the beginning and didn't even think about the show! I think the bullies traumatised me and now when I hear Superstar, I only remember the movie 😂

Tears of soy!

I remember loving it as a kid. The fireworks scene is still great.

It is actually a decent movie and he might have come to that conclusion if he actually watched it instead of reading a wiki article on it.

Are you my brother in law?

😂 I LOVED that movie!! Me and my sister were obsessed!

Same! Commercials and all lol

Breaking Pat

And Better Call Saul, including one of my favorite episodes in the Season 4 finale Winner.

@@rpandya97 yep

Plus direct many Scrubs episodes and the "Baby Got Back" music video.

We're on a mission from God

Love hearing ur memory. My dad loves Blues Brothers, but for some reason I've never actually watched any of their work myself, I really need to.

@@pandap4ntz Thanks :) Sure, give it a try. A classic movie night is perfect for the cold season 😊

The music in the second one is pretty good, but the movie isn't very good.

Lol it was awesome, but the greatest? Eh..if you added more specifications like genre and time, maybe top 3.

Hey I like my comedies to me at least it's up there with Billy Madison!

Same 😂

Fellow Scott the Woz Enjoyer!

Huge Ween fan as well, completely agree with you, and how was the concert?

Kinda funny how Ween's two breakthroughs into popular culture were a crappy comedy that no one really remembers and also something far more beloved: SpongeBob.

@@michaelvessel4604 also Beavis & Butthead

It was a pretty brown movie

was this the show at the met? I went to it it was fucking unreal

Do what I did and show the movie to all of your friends! I even did a double feature with Pick of Destiny, which was a good time.

Jake is on not another dnd podcast and god that man’s humor is perfect lol, I fully belly laugh listening to them.

Julia Sweeney is pretty great honestly, she has a lot of charm and is generally likeable

I absolutely love Ween, any content I can get from them is appreciated

Meanwhile I am only familiar with Pat and don't know what Ween is.

@@FrenkTheJoy they are probably most well known for making Ocean Man that plays in the credits of the spongebob movie. Stephen Hillenberg was inspired to make spongebob partially because of their album The Mollusk which ocean man is on. They also did the Loop de Loop and pull song that was written for an episode of spongebob. Genuinely a really cool and interesting band aside from spongebob. Lots of great songs.

Not as crazy when you think about how the US runs its entire government based on the SNL president sketches
