This was a brilliant piece of work when it was first on SNL, and it still is. Belushi's voice is perfect for an old man. Good makeup too. So sad that we never got to see more of his talent.
I saw John Belushi walking to his car a few months before he died. I jumped on my girlfriend's back and waved my arms up and down, while making chicken sounds. He laughed. It felt good to make one of the kings of humor laugh.
Tom Schiller's films were one of the best things about Old School SNL. This one is great, "Love Is A Dream" with Hartman and Hooks is great, "Will Work For Food" with Norm Macdonald is great.
Schiller's Reel, with Gilda Radner and Phil Hartman, is a perfect evocation of my marriage with my dear late husband, James W. Hamilton, Esq. My dear Jim.
I casually tuned in WGN on March 5, 1982 when they were showing an old Belushi/Aykroyd interview for The Blues Brothers movie. Then that photo of Belushi with the highlighted colors simulating a drawing that they used before the commercial pauses when broadcasting SNL episodes appeared, but this time a '1949-1982' was written over it. I said 'that must be a joke, he is young, he isn't dead', then I switched channels and found a headline that read Drugs Related To Belushi's Death. "OH MY GOD !!! It IS true !!!" Immediately my first thought was about Don't Look Back In Anger, the irony and an unexpected legacy in the form of a beautiful, funny short film. Thanks Mr Schiller.
I never thought SNL would make me cry. I’ve never was a big fan of Belushi,but this was so well done and you could feel the deep friendships through his delivery. Wow!
Does anyone else find it a little spooky that this monologue, supposedly done by the last surviving member of the team, was actually done by the first member to pass away? In the scene Bill, who lived the longest, lived to 38 - in real life, Belushi only made it to 33. Then there was the small thing of coming to Gilda's grave first - she was the next (and, so far, the only other) member of the crew to pass away. This may have been funny in 1978, but today, it only brings back tears and memories. RIP John and Gilda.
John and Gilda really died. What could be more? The Laraine part actually applied to Phil Hartman, whose fate was sealed in a murder-suicide in 1998 (a week after Sinatra died, which in the "Leg Up" sketch foretold it). Thr part whete Garrett was said to have died of drug overdose was actually John Belushi meeting that fate, not Garrett, that's for sure.
Your post was 6 years ago, and thankfully no more have passed yet. Just saw Jane on Watch What Happens Live. She’s so vivacious and spunky. She talked about their induction into the television hall of fame, and how Garrett’s speech was so funny. Actually she did mention one of the writers and occasional performers, Tom Davis of Franken & Davis had passed.
I heard an interview with Jim Belushi and said the way he heard John had died was on the radio as he was traveling cross country. Sad way to find out your brother died. RIP Joilet Jake.
Whenever someone makes fun of my dancing I always tell them "I'm a dancer!" Inside joke with my wife and I. What a talent Belushi was. Gone too soon. RIP John
This almost makes me cry. And proof positive that Belushi could act. Imagine the dramatic roles he could have done had he lived. And the irony that he mentions Garrett Morris dies if a heroin overdose
How was it ironic? Bc Belushi died from a heroin overdose? Well he did heroin like it was going outta style. Irony would be like a guy who had a irrational fear of flying and would not fly under any circumstances and died when a place crashed on top of him. Your comment was basically, “isnt it ironic that the guy who jumped off a skyscraper died when he hit the ground?”
I remember this It gets more poignant and eerily ironic as the years passed . The sniffling nose also figures into it . This just might be John’s all time Masterpiece Classic It took a combination of John’s talent and fate to get it there !
The irony makes, what I'm sure, was an artistic piece only. A timelessly haunting, surreal, almost cosmic foreshadowing. Meaning, "why did THIS idea come into their heads?"
@@JimmysPerspectiv3 And as I just posted “ He visited Gilda’s grave first “ That kicks its eeriness up a notch as she was the 2nd to go . I tell you . The workings of the cosmos . We only see it in retrospect .
Those were the days my friend...we thought they would never end...lyrics from a song ..but in sadness ...one finds ..the courage to sing and dance ..death be part of life..but how i miss this funny guy R.I.P. John Belushi.
I play this every year on my birthday. Because out of all of my friends I was the one who was told that I would not make it past 30 years old. Now, out of the six of my friends, I'm the only one who are still here. I will be 58 years old on June 9th
Happy belated birthday 2022. I am 58 at the time of this writing and remember seeing this when it originally aired on SNL. Took me a minute to figure out what it was at first, kinda ironic huh 🤔?
Lots of points here that ended up being true under mysterious circumstances. First, John thinking he would be the first to go when he didn't. He was right when he thought so. Second, Gilda we all know what happened to her. Third, Laraine shooting her husband, Did that happen later on to someone only it was the cast member that got shot (Phil Hartman), And finally, Garrett Morris "died" from a heroin overdose, which later claimed the lives of Farley and Belushi himself? These all came true albeit eerily.
This whole comment is the equivalent to: “If you add up the letters of all the terrorists, it equals 112. If you add up all the flight numbers, it equals 234. Subtract 112 from 234 and you get -122. Flip the negative sign vertical and you have 1122. Remove one of the 2’s and you have 112. Subtract 2 from 11 and you have 9. Keep the 11 and move the 9 to the front and you have…. Thats right…9/11.”
YES! Came here to post exactly that. And I think it had different clips of him dancing. Very powerful, still brings a tear to my eyes. And the one look he gives right before he says, "I'll tell you why." Perfect.
A lot is made of the irony of John Belushi being the sole survivor in this sketch since he was the first original Not Ready for Prime Time Player to die. But ever notice the first grave he visits is Gilda Radner’s, the second original Not Ready for Prime Time Player to pass away? The rest are still alive as of this writing, although old. Laraine Newman is the second one he visits. We’ll see...
Even though it's not relatable to any of the surviving cast members, when John says that Jane Curtain died of complications during cosmetic surgery, isn't that how Joan Rivers died? RIP John you are still missed.
The second time that Dan Aykroyd's webbed toes have been seen or mentioned in, I recall Dan taking his shoes off in the Mondo video and showing them off. Also it's really kind of eerie. Actually it's really eerie now.
I remember watching this when it was first shown on SNL. I thought it was a bit odd and morbid, thought "John Belushi really will live forever" ironic really as he was the first to go.😔
When I've seen this skit before, it was on the VHS tape of Best of John Belushi....That changed the ending and I don't remember the audience laughing at his jokes.
@jojopuppyfish that's the version i remember as well it has a very different tone entirely if you can picture this without the bloody laugh track , and of course it is ironic he was the first to actually die out of all of them ,& he first stops at Gilda Radner's grave still the only other cast member who has passed RIP to them both they livened up my childhood .. be safe NIGHT .
I grew up watching Saturday Night Live when John Belushi and the Not Ready for Prime Time crew was on. Those were the best ones ever. I loved the Samurai, Don Corleone and of course...the Killer Bees!
I'm watching the Belushi special on showtime right now and Dan Akwroad just said that it was a warm March day when john passed away and than Dan got the call that he did die and that's when the snow started to fall just like this skit now that's serial
That sketch was funny and creepy at the same time. In the sketch, he was the last surviving member of the original "Not Ready For Prime Time Players" (aka SNL cast). But in real life, he was the first one to pass away. Gilda was the second one. Both left too soon.😢😭
Andy Kaufman? Land Shark? Gumby (Dammit!)? Matt Foley? Stefon? Pretty good. Steve Martin's King Tut? Sandler's Lunch Lady Land? Lonely Island's Jack Sparrow? Good Jams. Ian MacKaye moshing to Fear? Sinéad O'Connor ripping up the pope? Ashlee Simpson lip syncing? Controversial guests. This video short is SNL's most poignant segment, and I doubt it will ever be surpassed.
John Belushi played a lot of old guys when he worked on The National Lampoon Radio Hour. I recall he played Menachim Begin the prime minister of Israel and he did a good Marlon Brando.
Considering they were really close and John saved his life, it's just really wild, over 40 years after he has been gone, Brian Doyle-Murray is still kicking.🤠
I remember the day he died like it was yesterday. I had just turned six the week before; I came home from kindergarten, turned the TV on to WTBS (as it was known back then), and there was some pretty heavy coverage of the event on there. I had seen *The Blues Brothers* about six months before and was blown away by it, so I knew who they were talking about, and I was shocked at the whole thing. Sometime during the course of that broadcast, they decided to show this clip. I had no knowledge about "SNL" at the time, so I had no idea what this was all about, only that I found it sad and eerie then. When I watch this now, I still remember that day, and I always get this "bad omen" feeling from it.
So many SNL greats gone before their time- John, Gilda, Phil, Chris, Jan, Norm, Michael, Tom, Andy… This film is so touching and so ironic, considering. 😢
It is so deep and knowing how it all turned out now, a lesson? Idk? Do you think.any of those that he mentions and are still.alive today watch this? I imagine it would be so hard.
I just realised John would have been 75 if he were still with us. I think he deserves a biopic, and I mean a proper story about his life, not just his comic legacy - that piece of shit called "Wired" doesn't count (although it did give Michael Chiklis a career).
Airdate 11 March, 1978. Poignant, yet ironic SNL segment where John Belushi is the last NRFPTP survivor. "Garrett Morris died of an overdose of heroin". "Bill Murray lived the longest: 38" 😒
A lot of the comments are somethin akin to, “How spooky that Belushi was actually the first to go.” THAT WAS THE WHOLE POINT OF THE SKETCH! Not that they knew for certain he would die, but based on his drug habits, if anyone was going to die, it was most likely going to be Belushi.
at least he got the chance to act as an elderly version of himself, got a sense of what that was like, since he would of never had that opportunity having fatally overdosed on a speedball(heroin and cocaine) in the chateau marmont not long after making this.
The Universe punishes the unique and rewards the average and mundane. It does this defensively, reflexively, because it knows how much more powerful the former is to the latter. John had to die young to maintain the balance. Damn you, Universe!
“They all thought I would be the first to go”. How prophetic.
This was a brilliant piece of work when it was first on SNL, and it still is. Belushi's voice is perfect for an old man. Good makeup too. So sad that we never got to see more of his talent.
Not being rude but I’m a makeup artist and if you look you can see it almost peeling off. Maybe that’s why they had to film it in a cold area
@@precisionbrown6829 booo!!!!
The more time that passes, the sadder and more ironic this short film gets.
I must admit this is very jarring, I never saw this before - he is by FAR the first to die of them all!
Especially when he thought he was going to outlive them all, but instead, he was the first to go
I saw John Belushi walking to his car a few months before he died. I jumped on my girlfriend's back and waved my arms up and down, while making chicken sounds. He laughed. It felt good to make one of the kings of humor laugh.
Thats a nice made up story
@@bmla88bro thinks hes the story inspector
@@fmg8232 Eh, it's pretty easy to spot a BS story. No prior experience necessary.
Belushi laughed because he couldn't believe just how desperate and dumb the two of you looked.
So many old SNL skits, weren't even made for humor; just art. What sets it a part from now. In my opinion.
It's sweet to see him putting the flowers on Dan's grave. He was his closest and dearest friend.
Passed away on this day (March 5) in 1982. We miss you, Johnny.
In two month from today, it will be the 40th anniversary... 😔
WOW!!!!!!!!!! THIS IS SO STRANGE!!!!!!!!!
HE WAS BY FAR THE FIRST TO GO!!!!!!!!!

If you never saw Belushi in Continental Divide, you should watch it. Probably his best work.
This deserves an Emmy looking back, at least retrospectively, it's simply genius.

I use “Because I’m a Dancer!” all the time. I never explain myself. A disappointingly small number of people get it.
@@angrycorvair lol!!!
He played ‘old’ very well. It’s a damn shame he couldn’t have lived to actually BECOME old.
It’s the coke sniffles that sells it.
❤
2:38 Dan really did have a Harley-Davidson; he rode it at the front of John's funeral procession.
Speaking of Dan, he said the moment he found out about John's death it started to snow
Good joyful ending. I never cried as much to anything as I did when I saw this. When I first saw it, it was 1978, with a totally different context.
This almost makes me cry. And proof positive that Belushi could act. Imagine the dramatic roles he could have done had he lived.

This was the first time we got to see just how good an actor Belushi could be, rather than just how good he was at comedy.

John Belushi.......Rest in peace, ol' friend.
Didn't expect this to make me cry. Also, the cemetery looks like the staten Island Moravian cemetery.
He was right. The first to go. RIP.
ironic, john ended up dying before the rest of em.
Yup he was the first to go

I'll always remember this as the final video on the Best of Belushi VHS where it transitioned into him singing Soul Man.
YES! Came here to post exactly that. And I think it had different clips of him dancing. Very powerful, still brings a tear to my eyes.
And the one look he gives right before he says, "I'll tell you why." Perfect.
I'm just glad he's still alive.
AMAZING...ONE OF HIS GREATEST SKITS OF ALL...SPOOKY OR NOT...KEEP EM LAUGHING JOHNNY...YOUR STILL ONE HELL OF A DANCER :)
Spooky ghostly ironic. Never knew this sketch existed. Now it takes one to a weird space. Very compelling.
John Belushi would be 73 now if he were still living. Garrett Morris, the oldest of the group, turned 85 earlier this year.

Found it! It's movement 2 of Vivaldi's Concerto for two violins in A minor.

He gives away our secret!!! Just keep dancing!!! Philadelphia USA
Ironically,John Belushi was the first original cast member to die.
Such a great talent
"Chevy Chase. Died after his first movie with Goldie Hawn."
I suspect....FOUL PLAY.
Ironic the dude is sniffing and surrounded by all of that “snow”😅😅😅
John Belushi is like most dead people. He doesn't realize he died already.
I find this joyous, not spooky.
Classic from the good ole days
I remember watching this when it was first shown on SNL. I thought it was a bit odd and morbid, thought "John Belushi really will live forever" ironic really as he was the first to go.😔

I remember this was
Bulushi’s idea of a funny skit for SNL
Little did anyone know
Andy Kaufman? Land Shark? Gumby (Dammit!)? Matt Foley? Stefon? Pretty good.
Steve Martin's King Tut? Sandler's Lunch Lady Land? Lonely Island's Jack Sparrow? Good Jams.
Ian MacKaye moshing to Fear? Sinéad O'Connor ripping up the pope? Ashlee Simpson lip syncing? Controversial guests.
This video short is SNL's most poignant segment, and I doubt it will ever be surpassed.
Geeeniooo
John Belushi played a lot of old guys when he worked on The National Lampoon Radio Hour. I recall he played Menachim Begin the prime minister of Israel and he did a good Marlon Brando.
What he said about Dan Aykrod was true plus he has 2 different colored eyes
This is still one of the funniest bits SNL ever did, and John would be pissed at those who don't think so.
Can you imagine the alternative timeline? Oh that’s right, John already told us.
He looks like what Brian Doyle-Murray looks like now.
Sounds like him too. Then again Brian always had old man voice.
Considering they were really close and John saved his life, it's just really wild, over 40 years after he has been gone, Brian Doyle-Murray is still kicking.🤠
Time is brutal and unforgiving in the ironies it serves up. Time passes and we are all, everyone of us, thrown down into the dust whence we came.
I think Belushi died five years after this was filmed, and it was the first thing I thought of when I heard the news of his passing. Irony.
4 years.
First thing I thought of when I learned of his passing was “That would have been about 10 years ago”…Born in 1982, the week of his death.
Mental note to never participate in an ironic skit, ever.
The most bittersweet skit SNL ever produced
Hard to believe it's been 40 years. R.I.P.

I had just turned six the week before; I came home from kindergarten, turned the TV on to WTBS (as it was known back then), and there was some pretty heavy coverage of the event on there.

A curse revealed -he danced on their graves 😉
Big ass bummer he went so young.
This little film packed a big enough wallop back then. Now … wow.
The irony of this has freaked me out since he passed.
I thought it was fucked up that the first grave he approached was Gilda's...
So many SNL greats gone before their time- John, Gilda, Phil, Chris, Jan, Norm, Michael, Tom, Andy… This film is so touching and so ironic, considering. 😢
Funny how that worked out
What's your secret to live so long John?
"Speed-balls keep me young!"
RIP John. I hate that you are gone. Why you? Indeed
Just watched the new show Belushi on TV. This old short he did was too creepy to even show on that. I wonder what he was thinking when he shot this?!
It is so deep and knowing how it all turned out now, a lesson? Idk? Do you think.any of those that he mentions and are still.alive today watch this? I imagine it would be so hard.
I just realised John would have been 75 if he were still with us. I think he deserves a biopic, and I mean a proper story about his life, not just his comic legacy - that piece of shit called "Wired" doesn't count (although it did give Michael Chiklis a career).

THAT WAS THE WHOLE POINT OF THE SKETCH! Not that they knew for certain he would die, but based on his drug habits, if anyone was going to die, it was most likely going to be Belushi.

The world shall never recover from the loss of John Belushi.
Right after I found out that he had died I remembered this short. So ironic.
at least he got the chance to act as an elderly version of himself, got a sense of what that was like, since he would of never had that opportunity having fatally overdosed on a speedball(heroin and cocaine) in the chateau marmont not long after making this.
How ironic, John was the first of the cast to die. Guess he should have danced more.
The Universe punishes the unique and rewards the average and mundane. It does this defensively, reflexively, because it knows how much more powerful the former is to the latter. John had to die young to maintain the balance. Damn you, Universe!
Oooooh the Irony !!!!
Very poignant.
ABSOLUTELY LOVE the dig about Chevy Chase.
