Kudos to Bill Paxton and James Cameron for being apart of this skit. Class acts

*The fact that they got the real Bill Paxton and James Cameron to do this makes it 100x more funny than if they just used two random dongs to play them.*

Come to think of it, Rose was hurting her children and grandchildren by dropping that stone into the ocean like that. Only in the movies.

R.I.P. amazing Bill Paxton

1:44 "I've been busting my butt in Pizza Hut for the last six years while you're sitting on twenty million bucks?!" 🤣

you have to love when someone is willing to parody themselves, Paxton was the man

Even playing a feeble 90 year old lady, Cheri Oteri can still find a way to chew the scenery.

Was expecting the ghost of jack dawson to ask rose why she let him freeze his ass off.

I know a guy that worked on "Twister" when they filmed in Iowa and he said Bill Paxton was a cool dude that hung out with the film crew and went to local bars and shit. Said he was a good, common fella.

I wanted one of them to ask her why’d she’s let Jack freeze to death when there was plenty of room on that door.

The fact that they got Jim Cameron in this is the icing on the cake.

Cheri Oteri kills every skit. So underrated!

R.I.P Bill. He looks so handsome here💔

Bill Paxton, my heart goes to you and your family. You were a marquee actor of my childhood. Thank you brother

This ending that’s how I would have reacted being her granddaughter. Seriously throw away 20 millions to the ocean it hurt me more than that old couple dying holding hands while the room filed with water.

Well, there we go: confirmed by James Cameron himself to be the actual intended ending

That got pretty dark pretty quickly.

Darrell Hammonds "Bob Seger slap" had me on the floor..😆

1:48 "A woman's heart is a deep ocean of secrets." She really sells that line among others.

Molly Shannon looks gorgeous here.

My favorite line: "Bob Seger was NOT on the Titanic!"

The fact they made a funny sketch is great. The fact they got Paxton to do this is awesome (and not dressing up one of their people). The fact James Cameron appeared, made jokes, has a sense of humor, and did it all for an SNL skit is totally awesome!

The funny thing is, if you see the deleted scenes from Titanic where old Rose throws the necklace back into the ocean, it really does make you want to beat her up.

funny thing is if Heart of the Ocean had been real, it would be worth closer to 350 million not 20 lol.

I think those characters hitting Rose represent all of us, who wanted to strangle her for dumping the necklace into the ocean. Hilarious.

Lighting a cigarette with money is a perfect ending to this sketch. I respect how honest James Cameron is

*Bill: I was just talking to Jack and he wants you tell me where the necklace is so the two of you can be together!* 🤣😂🤣😂 RIP Bill Paxton 🙏

I was about to feel sorry for the old lady, then I remembered there was plenty of room on the door.

I felt like she really was an old woman being hit. I felt sad.

Bill Paxton, fought acid blood alien xenomorphs, fought hunter predator aliens, fought a time traveling humanoid terminator, fought a cow throwing Helen Hunt tossing tornado, fought a really old boat sinking necklace tossing lady.Legend.

At moments I’m not sure if that’s Cheri Oteri or Martin Short.

The beating scene, is basically a parody of the " Calm Down!" scene from Airplane!

I loved this one so much. The fact Jimmy showed up at the end was awesome.

RIP Paxton. This episode was awesome. Loved his Carrie opening. ❤️

I still can’t get over the fact that James Cameron calls himself “Jim”

This was glorious! That slap from Darryl Hammond was in itself Titanic! 😂😂😂😂😂

Did none of you notice how from Cheri being serious in the beginning people were laughing? THIS IS CLASSIC CHERI! I grew up loving this!!!

God bless Bill Paxton. One of America's best actors, RIP.

LOL "Alright, this hag's going overboard!"

I can't stop laughing. This is a wild skit. 😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣

In high school and college, I remember writing many papers for English classes. Often, after reading a novel, we would have to analyze the story, and what the author was trying to achieve. This is my take on it, and I have quite literally seen it dozens of times. First, of all, in real life, there is no way the necklace would have stayed in her pocket that long, after they landed in the water. Unless, it were tied somehow. And, in real life, she and the rest of the inner circle of the cast did not exist, and were a type of historical fiction characters. But, if Rose had brought recognition to the fact that she still had the diamond, she would have risked Cal (and her mother) knowing that she survived. She does state that Cal committed suicide almost 20 years later, after the stock market crashed. She would have been roughly 40 years old, and had probably carved out the best life she could after meeting Jack. Her mother would have been roughly sixty or seventy at that time. Why not bring it out after her mother might have passed and she herself was an older woman? Being how turned off she was to the idea of riches: not wanting to marry Cal, hated the societal restraints and norms, was not arrogant and proud, admired the personality traits of "poor" Jack, etc. she certainly would not sell it to bring upon herself more of what she hated. She wanted to remain the free spirit Jack had helped bring out in her. If she hated it that much, then why not anonymously give it to a charity or museum? If that had happened, it might take away from the wreck and it's most valuable loss--human life. When she spoke of the sinking, she had a great deal of sorrow and respect for the people who lost their lives. I think the reason she kept the diamond al those years, instead of just burying it somewhere, was because maybe it had come to represent to her, her love for those lost lives...but especially Jack. It was suppose to be a symbol of extravagant wealth from Cal. But, "The Heart of the Ocean" was a symbol of her heart's oceans of secret love. When she tossed it overboard, she was not just discarding it. It was a way for her to: honor her love for Jack, honor the other lives lost, etc., similar to when you put flowers on a grave. You could also say it was her way of "letting go", because she was ready to go be with Jack, since he said, "You'll die an old woman asleep in your bed...not here, not this night." The deep breath and sigh of relief and slight smile all reflected this, as you gather she is so proud of herself for keeping her promises to Jack. The symbolism is outstanding and incredible.

R.I.P to the legendary Bill Paxton.

Cheri Oteri did a lot of underrated characters on SNL. Still her best and most well known was Barbara Walters.

I'm going to say one of the best skits ever... because if you have a sense of humor, then this is a snort from laughter, from the pure genius of it, parody...😂

Thank you James Cameron for making me feel better today.

See, THIS is the real reason to hate Rose. Everyone always going on about how she "left him in the water" after the movie clearly showed him trying to get on too but it wouldn't hold both of their weight, so he sacrificed for her. That wasn't her fault. But holding on to a $20 million necklace instead of using it to help her family! Thank you for this skit finally setting that straight.

Don't know how to laugh at an old lady being hit like that

Was that actually bill Paxton

This is hilarious. Why is everyone acting like this is real? It’s a sketch with “actors” on SNL.

Lol at all the people complaining about the old woman getting beat up. It's a younger woman in old age makeup and her performance (as well as everyone else's here) is exaggerated through the roof. It's not elder abuse NOR does it promote elder abuse. You've seriously never heard of dark humor?

Wow Molly looks great with blonde hair! Also could you imagine it really ended like this at the end that would have been hilarious

Rose cheated on her fiance, abandoned her husband in the afterlife and throw away a diamond that could leave her family wealthy for life.... Kind of the worst...

I think we all imagined an ending like this LOOOL XD James Cameron just grew in my eyes haha awesome!!

Almost as good as the alternative ending to "It's a Wonderful Life."

The hole in her story that I recall when I saw the film is that she (Rose) would have been over 100 and no way would they have had her on a helicopter; by the way that was hundreds of miles away from shore-not a once around Manhattan trip to boot.

*At **1:55** - the bit about the 2x4... I spit-up my tea, laughing!*

Please bring back Cheri Oteri... Simply a fantastic actor. Great in all of her invented parts. Please at least have her host a new 2021 show...

James Cameron smoking using a lit hundred dollar bill and talking about how great it would be to beat up an old lady is just flawless😂

Am I the only one who thought that sketch was kinda f***ed up?

Titanic: a whole movie about having a one-night stand with a homeless guy and then becoming a jewel thief

Cheri O'Teri looks like Martin Short in this

RIP Bill Paxton.

Its amazing how DIFFERENT the sense of humor on this show was back in the late 90's. Much more brutal, but in a good way. Really funny stuff.

All the gen z who cant take a joke. This is slapstick humor at its finest.

From the comments in the sectionI feel like I'm the only person who find this funny ass hell. Ooh I guess not. See there are other with a Sense of Humor.

If you're too young to remember, Merrill Stubing was the captain of the Love Boat.

I'm dead...even the granddaughter was mad & kicking her

I feel terrible watching this. It goes way to far.

People getting angry : This came out in 1997 / 1998 . Context folks

Lmfaooooo 🤣. He smacked her upside her head like my mother used to do me😂

I died already with " yeah that's messed up" 😂

Very few people know the alternate ending to the real Titanic movie when she winds up marrying Jack in front of everyone, he gets pissed off when he finds out she threw the stone away and ditches her for someone younger and thinner

Lol God bless Bill Paxton giving 110% in this sketch

What has always been messed up about that movie is she says the love of her life was some grifter she knew for a couple of days over 80 years ago and not her husband whose granddaughter is there.

OMG THIS IS AMAZING?? AND THEY ALL LOOK SO ALIKE THOUGH

Thanks for SNL always come up with genius videos :-) thumb

OK, I feel like everyone needs to calm down a bit. OK, it wasn't even that funny of a bit and they should have made it shorter. But Cheri Oteri was great in this (she's not an actual granny as you may have found out) and I did feel that the old lady in Titanic was a bit annoying. And it is quite funny when you think about this, because Paxton plays some kind of treasure hunter and he still listens to her three-hour story only to learn that the Heart of the Ocean was lost forever, when you think about it, his reaction in the bit may have been more realistic than the one he had in the movie.

1:25 I just saw Chet from Weird Science! This skit is too funny!

The character Rose was the perfect example of selfishness hogged the wooden door/ head board so Jack froze to death enjoyed her life kept the diamond hidden from her family then what. She was about to die tossed it in the ocean instead of giving to hers grand daughter/family

I remember Sheri Oteri playing this same character with Julianne Moore as the host of SNL. I would love to see that clip.

Now I cannot watch movie without thinking Rose's granddaughter worked at Pizza Hut

No wonder SNL is the best! Having James Cameron commenting on the film ending is more precious than the heart necklace! 🤣🤣🤣🤣

"Crapathon" and the 2x4 threat 😂🤣😂😭

Best part was see the real JC himself at the end. Totally didn’t expect that.

This sketch is included on the Special Edition BluRay. On the triple-disc DVD edition a few years ago, it was one of the 'hidden Easter eggs.'

Dammit, Bill Paxton, come back to us, already! I'll trade the entire Trump Administration!

Just discovered this in 2024😂. Bill Paxton in full getup for the skit.. great stuff 😂

sarcastic humor is not meant to be nice and cheerful guys, deal with it ... and it is just a parody with actors ...

I would have given this ending a Standing Ovation lol

Bill Paxton went full Chet in this sketch.

R.I.P Bill Paxton

RIP Bill Baxton😞

Why so many dislikes? This is HYSTERICAL! 😂😂🤣🤣🤣😂

1:14 looool

The makeup job on Cheri Oteri is absolutely amazing for a late night skit show.

Cheri Oteri, THE most underrated SNL cast member ever.

This was funny until they kicked the old lady

"I think one of my ribs is broken..." "This one?" *proceeds to gutpunch her three times*

Who remembers the alternate ending to "It's a Wonderful Life"? The best!!!

Would been funnier if BILL PAXTON had rugby tackled her just before she throws the diamond over the side. "AH HAH YOU OLD BAT I KNEW IT"! He grabs the diamond. "I would have lost ten million bucks on this trip but this should pay for it". She kicks him in the nuts, grabs the diamond back and throws it over the side. Paxton dives in after it and drowns. He then meets Leonardo Decaprio and the rest of the the Titanic victims and they are all laughing at him. THE END
