Let's not forget the pure gold of Garrett Morris.
No one but Garret Morris could pull off that Lord and Lady douch bag intro.
Finally someone uploaded the whole skit! Been looking all over!
“Give me a Sandwich and a Douchebag, and there’s nothing I cannot do!”
Truly words for the modern age.
Watch Bill Murray right after he surprises Buck Henry with the "what kind of invention are you sitting on" line. He knows he just threw him a curve ball and he is waiting to see how he handles it.
Bill Murray at his absolute finest.
For anyone who doesn't get the first couple, Lord and Lady Wilkinson. There is a product called "Wilkinson Sword" which is a razor company. They are making shaving jokes.
I had to explain it to my kids! 😂
Thanks for that!
Never explain a joke. If you explain it, you kill it.
got it!
No need for explaining
You know that Murray improvised that line about sitting on an invention. He was daring Henry to laugh. Henry almost did.
Murray and Farley were famous for keeping certain lines secret until the live airing --- they wanted to see their castmates break character!
Very cool. How'd you find that out?
That line did seem like improvisation from the reaction of both, lol.
Absolutely my favorite SNL skit, with a bunch of the early greats in the cast. Buck Henry was a genius,and Bill Murray's delivery was equally brilliant.
I remember seeing this in 1980 and never forgot it. "Lord & Lady Douche Bag"! I laughed my ass off, waited for the rerun, laughed my ass off again and then finally found it here. It's clever writing.
And Garrett Morris gets the best line!
Mine too. I love this one and The doggie Downers and puppy Uppers
@@shannahuffman4655 Great call. I recall one with Lorraine and Gilda putting a tablet into the gas tank to make the exhaust smell fresher.
Don't forget the circumcision performed in the backseat of the Royal Deluxe II...!
Dear every commenter on this video: it's sketch comedy, it is a sketch, not a "skit". Really weird reading through the comments and for whatever reason on this video in particular, every other comment says something about this "skit"🤨
“Yes Douchebag, just what kind of invention are you sitting on”. Pure genius
I'll tell you after you eat
I wonder if that was an ad lib- Murray and Henry looked like they were having a hard time keeping it together.
"perhaps after dinner" lol
"Give me a sandwhich and a douchebag, and there is nothing I cannot do!"
😂😂😂😂
Don't get it.
Make me a sammich!
A timeless classic from SNL. The writing and acting are both beyond amazing.
Not too funny, dough!
Charles Greene funny skit😊
And one of the final sketches of Lorne Michaels' 5th season before leaving and virtually everyone else leaving with him. Of course he returned 5 years later.
Whoever posted this in full, thank you!! I’d only ever been able to find snippets of it. One of the funniest and most memorable skits they ever did, in my opinion.
Absolutely one of the funniest sketches from SNL of all time
THE funniest! I always wet my pants. I don't mean I wet my pants when I watch this, I mean I just generally wet my pants.
I’m amazed the actors could get through this sketch without breaking up. How the great Garrett Morris could make that announcement and maintain his composure is remarkable.
Can you imagine if they had presented this sketch on “The Carol Burnett Show”? While Carol Burnett and the late, great Tim Conway would have maintained their composure, the late Harvey Korman would have probably lost it entirely after hearing the announcement, “Lord and Lady Douchebag!”
This ranks up there with Schweaty Balls and Colonel Angus as the best of SNL skits. All three have brillant set ups and flawless executions. Also, in all three ,the jokes do not grow tired and end just when they should.
Not hardly. The other two were crass, prurient crap. Crap was probably a catchword on another script.
@@robertcrain4428 I don't know the Colonel Angus sketch, but I agree: "Schweaty Balls" always felt like low-hanging fruit...or should I say, low-hanging balls.
MORE COWBELL!! Is one of my top favorites.
3:28 - "Don't tell me, for the first time in memory, we're going to have a parliament without a douchebag."
Timeless.
"There've always been plenty of douchebags in Parliament, and there always will be." 😄
Hopefully the U.S. House of Representatives and Senate may one day be free of the same.
Amazing to think about. In this one skit you have Buck Henry, Harry Shearer, Bill Murray, Gilda Radner, Garret Morris and Loraine Neuman with some others as well. They spent the first half of the skit setting up the Douchebags, I think that is what helped to make it funny. From the audience response, it sounded like the skit was going to flop, with the biggest laughs coming from Garret Morris' awesome introductions. THEN...enter the Douchebags! Hahaha!
Exactly. And those folks are all great. Great to see Harry Shearer. Anybody who doesn't find this skit hilarious, must be a douchebag!
Bill's brother Brian Doyle Murray is in here as well. He being one of the writers, also had two tours of duty (Along with Harry Shearer) as a player.
This was the very last skit of the very last original show of the fifth season. NONE of these people, including Lorne Michaels, returned for the disastrous and prematurely terminated sixth season. Dan Akroyd and John Belushi had already left the previous year, which is why they are not in it. But Akroyd's brother and Bryan Doyle-Murray are, in small roles.
Spoken like a true Douchebag!
The Cardigan/sweater reference completely flew over the audience's head in particular. Nary a laugh. The Argyle intro was weak; not really an invention.
didn't realize Wilkinson is a brand of razor still sold today...
FINALLY, they are allowing old SNL to be posted, I have tried for years, all of them got bounced. THIS one is a fav.
This skit was a work of genius!!! LMFAO
This is FROM the SNL channel. They've been posting them for years
LOVE your Benny Hill profile pic!!! I once dated a guy, younger than myself, who used to shave his head...I used to pat his head like Benny Hill did to that lil old guy...I had to show him a Benny Hill skit because he had no idea lol
From one of the SNL history books, this sketch was from the last episode before Lorne Michaels walked away (along with the cast and the original writers). This sketch was the last one to feature all of the remaining original cast (and Bill Murray) on the same set and stage at the same time.
Every now and then "Give me a Sandwich and a Douchebag and there is nothing I cannot do" pops into my head. So many great jokes in this sketch!
There could never be enough Gilda.
This sketch was quoted for years after, at my school. Great staying power. RIP Buck Henry.
One of the best SNL Golden Age skits .. I love Harry Shearer ! RIP Buck Henry
2:26 “Lord and Lady Douchebag” Can NEVER get enough of this.
RIP Buck Henry. You are missed already.
OMG! Glad I saw it again. It was taken off years ago.
To me, it is the Holy Grail of SNL skits. As a lad of 17 at the time, I understood the references to the characters.
I'd love to see the Miles Copperwhaite skits. Drool cups and the discipline on the Raging Queen!!!!
2:44 _"where the devil are those douchebags"_
Lol.
Are we sure this isn’t a Monty Python skit
I belive Lord Sandwich is Bill Murray.
@@enigmaparanormal Yes...Earl of Sandwich is Bill Murray....Great sketch!
Not Poland They would play the women also.
LOHHD AND LAYDEE SMEGMA
And Lord Salisbury is Harry Shearer, who does many of the characters on the Simpsons. Mr. Burns, Principal Skinner, and Ned Flanders are but a few of the characters he plays.
This NEVER gets old! 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
So nice to see Buck Henry . and no one has to explain the Wilkenson joke to me. Thank you
RIP, Buck Henry. A comic genius. A writer on Get Smart and many movies, including The Graduate, the second person to host SNL five times, a brilliant dark turn in Catch 22, and lest we forget, Lord Douchebag.
Buck Henry graduated from Dartmouth University. One of his classmates and fellow university actors was the late, great John Gambling, longtime morning drive host of WOR-710 AM in NYC.
He was also the first member of the 5 timers club
there hasn't been an SNL skit this well done in ages
Try Colonol Angus
@@petercelle1796 Also "The Delicious Dish"
@@stanleytweedle467 good old Pete Shwetty- “good times, good times.”
@@petercelle1796 "mmm... balls... mmm..."
Sure there has.... Colonol Angus.
Watched it live and still funny as hell in 2020!
*"give me a Sandwich & a Douchebag, and there is nothing i cannot do!"*
Oh... You watched the video too?
Son of a b....! I remember this. Haven't seen this since it was live. At the time, I was too young(naive) to understand the joke. Wonder what other skits I didn't get.
Hey! Were you sneaking up at night to watch like we were? Didn't it frustrate you to try to find the beginning until you learned that the show started 15minutes earlier or later than every other show? That rmnds me. I going to search for snl skit with secret special guest "Mr. T". That one I'm sure I almost died of oxygen deprivation. I was about 8 or 9 years old. Thanks for sharing.
To be fair I seem to recall the series going into heavy syndication, as well as summer reruns when most kids could get away with staying up late. It was either that, Pong (if you were lucky) or the arcade with it's 5 games (if you were lucky enough to have a quarter or two,) running the streets trying to get booze or pot or looking at your one porno mag for the 20 thousandth time.
Oh. Then I am older than you are. You're my baby brother's age. I used to buy him Pogs. Thanks for the extra info. I will be speaking to him about this presently. I wondered why he was always out of the money I gave him. He's just got busted and he's got some e'splaining to do.
You should pick up SNL Season 1 on DVD, its a riot
GrAmHero: Awww, see? You are MY Hero!!!! Thank you thank you, and thank you :=)
Takes me way back. I took Buck Henry's appearances on Saturday Night Live for granted in that era.
@Jerry Booth I'd gotten too accustomed to his presence. My wife and I embraced Saturday Night Live in early '76, our newlywed year. We got up to speed with most of the episodes we missed. In some ways it has felt like I'm still waiting for a new Killer Bees sketch.
@Jerry Booth I feel privileged thinking of it now. In the fall of 1976 I was working the 2nd shift with some Saturdays in the mix. I'd make it home with three minutes to spare before the show started; if I didn't stop to grab pizza or Chinese food.
I didn't realize how good I had everything back then. It's human nature I suppose. In your case, better late than never! It did seem that Steve Martin was on SNL practically every week but I'm viewing that through nostalgia-tinted lenses.
@Jerry Booth Certainly true, the show having endured for so long has become a bit of Americana. One case in point was seeing the screen transition from pitch black to the sight of Steve Martin standing there in his King Tut regalia. This was in May or June of 1978. That musical skit is iconic now and my wife and I watched as it was happening.
Speaking of Buck Henry, I wonder in this PC era we are in, if SNL would post the skit with Buck Henry as the baby sitter with Gilda and Laraine as the little girls taking pictures of them sliding down the bannister. Can you imagine of that skit was aired today? lol
@@NSHM122 They couldn't frame that as comedy as everything sits present day.
Very clever writing! After all these years this is still fun to watch! As the old saying goes "They don't make them like this anymore"!
39 years later and this still cracks me up.
Hector Heathcoate, I haven't seen YOU since I was a kid.
Sorry about the Patriots losing in the wild card round this year. At the end, it looked like Tom Brady, yes GOAT, couldn't process what had happened. But it's been an incredible run.
One of the last skits of the last episode of Saturday Night Live featuring the remainder of the original cast members (also known as the not ready for prime time players).
One of my top 5 skits of all time…along with Colonel Angus, More Cowbell, The Sinatra group and Theodoric of York.
Murray was practically daring Buck to break.
Brilliant! The costumes were great too. Especially Lord and Lady Argyle!
This was when SNL was the best! I was 18 back then and laugh my ass off at some of skits they came up with.
3:19 this is me greeting my friends/cousins at a party lol!
Love this skit!
This was written by Alan Zweibel. It was the original team’s last show, so he swung for the fences.
Even in a sketch that seemed to be silly or low-brow, they sneak in political jabs. I mean, the whole "Are you telling me for the first time ever we're going to have a Parliament without a douchebag" exchange is taking a jab at government without naming names. Brilliant.
I still remember watching that live. I was literally crying 😂
So many people love the video not only because of the skit, but also they seem they had a better life and good memories.
I love the tech now but I would pay big money to have my life back in the 70's-80's without cell phones and social media.
@@ZepG Damn straight! Lol
Both Murray and Henry almost break; Murray is forced to take a bite of his sandwich!
This is a great one. Havent seen it in years. Also wish they'd post the Bride of Frankenstein " I feel pretty" skit with Madeline Kahn . Another top 10.
"Give me a sandwich and a douchebag and there's nothing I can't do!"
As a kid this was literally the first time I ever heard the word 'douchebag.' Bless living with my Grandma!!
Me too. And Salibury was lost on me too.
I cannot remember a more hilarious sketch then "Lord and Lady Douchbag". It just caused howls of laughter in the USA. Sorry Great Britain but we don't have an aristocracy and it generates a very great chuckle. But we love you anyway!
I love how Bill Murray almost made Buck Henry crack up laughing when asking him about the invention he was sitting on. Don't think that line was in the script.
Love this & remember watching as a kid. Love Buck Henry
Top Shelf OG SNL. I think for all the great writing, performance, costuming and set design, this is a Top 10 for the entire history of the show.
Lord and Lady Wilkinson: Lord Wilkinson explains the crossed swords, and Lady Wilkinson produces HER sword, “and here is Lady Wilkinson, for attacking your opponent’s underarms and legs” 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
You know that's a terrific gift idea!
The all-time greatest SNL sketch. I saw it when it was first broadcast and roared when Lord and Lady Douchebag were announced. Who wrote it?
Wasn't expecting it to be so clever. Had to back it up a couple of times.
Sooo close to breaking. 3:57
I guess the only thing that matters about titles is that they get clicks, but surely there’s a way to do that without spoiling the main joke in the skit...
If you were to search for this skit, that's exactly what you would type
Maybe we should rename "Psycho" as "The Boy Who Posed as his Mother".
Apparently you have to be very specific when titling videos before submitting them on UA-cam
Very good point. How'd we find it, otherwise, though? If only there was a way!😬
There is, but Douchebag is the word that everyone looks for when trying to find this, so it's kind of a Douchebag-22.
They had me at 'Sandwich'
Right up there with Stunt Baby....I can't imagine Buck Henry and Mel Brooks being able to breath when they collaborated on Get Smart....
Thanks to Buck Henry for the Cone of Silence!
I loved Garret Morris. He was also a fine singer.
He was, indeed. A great singing voice.
I saw this like a year ago when I re watched all of the 70s SNL all the way through
That's something to aspire to. I'd guess I have not seen the majority of the '70s episodes since the reruns of their original airing.
Bill Murray.....I'm dead.
0:30 - Harry Shearer! I love The Simpsons. ❤
Fuck Simpsons! South Park earlier episodes are the real shit!
Yes, Harry is a cool guy, too. I had the privilage of meeting him at a film preview several years back. He was showing a film he was involved with about Katrina. Funny, intelligent, and personable guy. Got an autograph. Mainly though, it was a good 15-20 minute conversation, after the q and a, following the film. I did tell him I was a huge fan of This is Spinal Tap. Good times.
41 years later and I still pronounce "douchebag" as DOO-sha-BAG-guh" LOL
Finally someone understands and gets it! I have forever say it the same way. Now my kids also get it 😂
Peter Aykroyd RIP.
1:25 Peter with his Ascot and Cardigan wordplay with Laraine Newman.
This stuff sets up Bill Murray huge laughs greeting Lord Douchebag.
Only Buck Henry could pull that 😄😄😄😄
Buck Henry genius
SNL, at one time, was one of the funniest things ever on TV. This is a classic! Thanks. 😅
2021: Finally my fav. Thank you Lord & Lady Duche Bag
Sublime comic cast, and I think Harry Shearer might be my favorite now. I change my mind every few viewings. And, in all the great writing and big laughs, the moment that makes me laugh the hardest is Bill Murray razzing Buck Henry with, of course, "Douchebag!"
This is when SNL 2as funny. I haven't watched it in 30 years. No intrest. Thax for the post.
I remember seeing the original airing of this, loved it then and love it now.
*1980:* Everybody was lmao
*2019:* "These jokes mocking women's hygiene practice are degrading to women. We must form a Twitter mob and destroy all these actor's careers."
Screw that noise! I mean really, is it that bad? Guess so. It's a damn shame, as it was all done in fine humor. I don't recall Anyone taking issue, back then. I guess I must've missed a memo.
@ 3:55 great ad lib!
I have this on a video somewhere, always killed me from day one. Such disturbing jokes but still hysterical, in the wrong ways, all these years later!
No but the 4th Earl of Sandwich actually did invent the sandwich.
You're here for 2:26.
This was the very last skit with original SNL cast members Morris/Radner/Curtain/Newman (Dan Akroyd, John Belushi and Chevy Chase had already quit, and Bill Murray replaced Chase). Buck Henry was not even a regular cast member (although a lot of people think he was because of the number of times he hosted, kind of like Steve Martin).
I DRIVE A DODGE STRATUS!
the funniest sketch in snl history..and also the last of the original crew.
The costumes!!!
Thanks for uploading this one, SNL!
If I had to pick the one best sketch in pre-2001 SNL, then this would be it. F***ing priceless.
Wow. This goes way back. Lorraine Newman. Gilda Radner. Buck Henry. Loved the earlier SNL episodes. So great. With John Belushi and Dan Aykroyd. Eddie Murphy too.
I never made the connection at the time, but looking back this is remniscent of the original Muppet Show--the weekly ballroom dancing scene laden with puns. The later Jim Carrey Family Reunion sketch also harkens back to this premise, as do countless others.
Mike Meyers did Scotland in the '90s, but seeing this level of world humor... I mean, you just don't see this anymore on SNL.
rip buck henry. so funny
Now that's great writing!
Never saw this classic before, RIP Peter Aykroyd, that was good stuff.
There was a Sandwich joke in Blackadder the Third, and it was somewhere along these lines.
Help? She was the inspiration!
buck henry = genius
2:40 “Where the never are those Douchebags” A true statement.
The inspiration for Colonel Lingus.
John Montagu, 4th Earl of Sandwich was 12 years old in 1730.
James H. Salisbury wasn't royalty, was American and wasn't born for another 100 years.
Just vinegar and water thank you
I really think the writers realized they could use the word "douchebag" on-air, and then wrote an entire sketch around it. And it was amazing, lol.
In that sense, it resembles the 1990s "Schweddy Balls" skit, also gleefully crossing that line.
This laid the groundwork for Colonel Angus.
Fucking CLASSIC! I remember this from sneaking to watch SNL when I was little kid! I still qoute this skit to this day!
RIP, Buck Henry
I had to look it up, but Wilkinson Sword is actually a brand of razor! I had assumed that they had made up a name to avoid angering the Remington corporation
