It's realistic too bc if he got as red-hot as a wiry small guy, he'd possibly have a heart attack in his new condition. This sketch was BRUTAL. The best satire SNL has had in a while.
I think I woke my neighbors with my maniacal laughter at just how sweet and soft Woody played his character. You want to hug him but ya know arms just can't reach.
Great job by make up artists (and yes, they are artists). The seamless face to neck for Woody in this skit was flawless!! Not to ignore the incredible job they do normally, but this had to be a unique challenge.
Hard laughing when he sat down. Woody has always been hilarious. Never thought anyone could replace Coach on Cheers and he quickly silenced many like me. He also silenced them with his GOLDEN monologue. What a boss!!😄
Woody is such an amazing actor, carried this entire sketch! Gained all that weight just for this scene 😂 (For the humor impaired, yes I know it’s an actual fat suit)
@@pjj.5649 Well, since you obviously watch the show, a couple weeks ago Pedro Pascal hosted and a sketch that caused all cast members to laugh uncontrollably. Spelled it out and everything for you☺️
Considering that this was one of the post-Weekend Update sketches (the ones that aren't as funny as the ones before WU, but are still in the show regardless), I kind of understand.
@@canaisyoung3601 oh you mean when half the viewers start watching something else instead of staying and watching the final performance of the musical guest?
Yeah, real fat would have given Brendan, likely, belly fat. The fat suit shows lipedema, as it does here, and really communicates the difficulties arising from the weight and the vicious circle
@@biegebythesea6775 He did, from 2008 when HE walked out on his wife and kids with that male crew member he met on The Mummy 3. His beer belly is evident in photos from 2009 on, but his weight fluctuates according to when he's on/off the Lithium. The Prednisone has added weight too. He was 359 when he made The Whale. He's lost some weight since they filmed it 21 months ago, but too many people think he actually weighed 600. This was a great sketch.
@@biegebythesea6775 He's been gay since boarding school.The alimony was HUSH MONEY. His current 'girlfriend' is a beard (his ex wife's makeup artist for ballroom). The Whale is his 7th gay role.
4:04 No disrespect to Keith but that offer for a Marvel role could totally still be on the table! X-men is confirmed to come into the MCU and the Blob is a core member of the Brotherhood of Mutants. Also, Mojo is an awesome villain that i think would be tops for a film. With the multiverse open, and after the events of Wanda's hex in Westview (plus we have Agatha around to tell the tale) we could easily see Mojo hear talk around town that Wanda created her own tv show for her own sake, and well, that's kind of what Mojo is all about
I love Darren Aronofsky and Brendan Fraser and will defend them from anyone who thought their movie was offensive. I was happy with the way this skit went. It was able to make us laugh without actually making of The Whale.
I didn't think it was offensive, I just thought it wasn't good and needlessly depressing with contrived bad/cheesy dialogue. This is his version of 'Simple Jack' (if you have ever seen 'Tropic Thunder'). Oscar bait material. If you want to watch good films about redemption, I think much better examples include 'american history x', 'schindler's list', 'groundhog day', 'the fischer king', etc.
The movie wasn’t offensive outside the fact that the script sucks ass and the dialogue is shit and the play is shit and outside of Brendan, the acting was shit.
I loved this Skit, it sort of points at the Critiscim the whale received. 1. Why couldnt they hire an actor of that size or similar? well this is why lol. Also how the Hippo was similar to the Whale. Well, a lot of people think The whale was very similar to The Wrestler. And Brendan's movie role in DC canceled. etc.
I love his soft spoken passive aggressive acting here
Omg that totally made it!
I feel like that's supposed to be because he's also so tired from the 450 lbs to even be the appropriate level of mad he'd be feeling.
Lol he wasn't aggressive at all poor guy
It's realistic too bc if he got as red-hot as a wiry small guy, he'd possibly have a heart attack in his new condition. This sketch was BRUTAL. The best satire SNL has had in a while.
Soooo Brendan Fraser 🤣🤣🤣🤣
“I really kinda wish you had brought me into that conversation” 😂
“ The fat suit was an option?” LOL!😂😂😂😂
So..Keith is a method actor?
💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀
Wait. This wasn’t a fat suit? 🤔
@@johnedwardcabrera4559 yes it's just acting still.😂
Was that an option ? Gristle loaf , it's what they feed to elephants
"Triabetes" is a very "writerly" joke, and I love it.
it is!
It’s the one after diabetes
It was a good joke, until they felt the need to explain it.
I’ll do you one better. Keith says he’s not exactly in X-Men shape, but he’s literally The Blob. I’m surprised that didn’t get a bigger laugh
I bet it sounded hilarious at the time.
"Keith, you had an offer for a Marvel movie, right?" Funniest line in the sketch.
He's not in X-men shape? He could blame Blob.
@@bryanbarnes388 Or Kingpin.
😂
@@bryanbarnes388 more like O-Men shape
🤣🤣🤣😂
The defeated look Keith had walking to the chair had me laughing so hard 🤣🤣🤣
YES ABSOLUTELY!!! MY SIDE HURTS!!! LMAO!!!!
Your turn Keith! I have...: "Not seen my penis in 4 months"
He’s a great actor. Really hahah
Yes!!
I nearly pee'd....
"You mean a fat suit was an option?".... has to be the best line!
Woody Harrelson never disappoints and always amazes with his chops.
Damn it. Now I want pork chops.
That's cool and all but can we keep this conversation about Rampart?
That's Harrelson in that fat suit?
This skit just gave Brendan Fraser the win for Best Actor at the Oscar’s
I’m sorry but I have to disagree. Lisa Marie’s death guaranteed Austin Butler for the win.
Ur fcked up friend
nah
Was he nominated?
that movie sucked so much
He's in perfect X-Men shape. Nothing moves The Blob!
The blob isn't in the X-men, he's part of the brotherhood of mutants
@@ЯСмерть-ф5п You need to touch some grass.
@@ЯСмерть-ф5п He was referring to the franchise, not the actual team.
Actually, the Blob is super strong and agile. (His enemies are thrown off because they think he's going to be slow.)
Nothing moves the Blob, except Juggernaut.
I have not actually laughed out loud at an SNL skit in quite some time. This had me laughing multiple times. Triabetes had me gasping for air. 😂
Truth told. I was wheezing it was so funny!!!! I played it over and over and the skit delivered. The timing was on point!!!! Hillarious!!!
That last line I can’t tell if it’s a joke or actual statement or both
I'm commenting afterwards and I keep laughing lmao
careful what you wish for... josie without the pussy cats
It also likely has him gasping for air.
I watched this one a second time. Woody really knocked this one outta the park! Perfect deliveries 😂😂 he's a great host for SNL
He did a great job!
Genuinely funny
Same! Immediately replayed and watched again
"Was...............that an option?"
Delivered like a pro.
“I wasn’t included in your initial friend count?” 😂
His pained expression throughout is so good and that line really hammers it home lol...
Man she was willing to dye her hair brown - talk about commitment. You don't see that type of dedication these days.
And the other actress who "shadowed" a therapist for 2 weeks..a real trouper.
Or growing a beard
“I wasn’t included in the original 28?” 😂
I think I woke my neighbors with my maniacal laughter at just how sweet and soft Woody played his character. You want to hug him but ya know arms just can't reach.
Woody is a national treasure. Nothing but respect for that incredibly talented man. If Woody is in it, I'll be watching it.
Right. I’m dying laughing. He’s always been good in every role
Gristle loaf had me in TEARS!!
Woody’s facial expressions were brilliant!
This is a big push for Brendan Frazier. This is nothing less than an official endorsement from NBC. Lets GOOOO!!!!
Let's Go Brendan?
@@mrmacho41 LOL! GOOD one!
Fraser
???
Yes I was thinking this!
Great job by make up artists (and yes, they are artists). The seamless face to neck for Woody in this skit was flawless!! Not to ignore the incredible job they do normally, but this had to be a unique challenge.
Awesome job!🤣🤣🤣
The SNL makeup artists who made Woody look like Brendan deserve an Oscar
An Emmy.
TV shows don't get Oscars
SNL only gets old
No they don’t, it’s terrible makeup.
Woody actually gained 450 pounds for this skit. He didn't know the fat suit was an option.
“I’m not exactly in X-men shape right now.” 😂😂😂
Well, there is Blob. That character was in X-men Origins: Wolverine (2009).
I haven't laughed at an snl skit for a long time but this one has me in tears.
Hard laughing when he sat down. Woody has always been hilarious. Never thought anyone could replace Coach on Cheers and he quickly silenced many like me. He also silenced them with his GOLDEN monologue. What a boss!!😄
"I have something called Triabetes now."
lol
Yes from people TRYIN YOU (smile); God bless you
"I'm not really in X-Men shape right now..."
Nice "The Blob" character reference
Woody is such an amazing actor, carried this entire sketch! Gained all that weight just for this scene 😂
(For the humor impaired, yes I know it’s an actual fat suit)
BUT Kudos to the costuming department. His neck and face look amazing!!!!
Wait, what ?! It was a fat suit ?
The best right. I didn’t catch it live, but I just watched this clip and it reaffirmed why I like woody harellson so much.
It’s so refreshing to see snl make back to back funny episodes.
Omg what a hot and refereshing take you have. Such an original opinion. Thanks for sharing it with us.
Don’t get crazy.
@@OceanHedgehog wtf?
It was just sorta meh. Go watch the Mariokart one with Pedro Pascal if you want to see something actually good.
Snl has been better lately.
I love how this does not make the members break but Ego shaking a table does All of them😅
What? Don't understand. Please explain.

Speak on what you know. How do you know I OBVIOUSLY watch last week? Talk about ego, check yours and don't ASSUME anything.
Woody harrelson never disappoints. A legit American treasure.
Woody Harralson is a national treasure~!
Well this aged well, Brendan Fraser did win an Oscar😅
And the writers went on strike in May. Don't know if they're still on strike, but I'm just going to assume they are.
It has been a while since I laughed myself to tears over an SNL sketch.
Tat is the truth, this skit took you back to the old days! Hillarious!! LMAO!!!!
I'm still in tears 5 minutes after watching it 😂😂😂
I wouldn't go that far
I still haven't...
this trend continues for me
Woody looking deflated while also cosplaying as a balloon was hilarious
"I really kind of wish you had brought me into that conversation." - I lost it, I was giggling and laughing for a straight 3 minutes.
"Right and I gained 450 pounds.."
I started laughing so hard
Mikey Day always looks and plays the part to a T… “make that twentyyyynine friends,” 😂😂😂 “I wasn’t included?” best 2 lines
I'm literally marking myself safe from eating a bowl of cereal and being blindsided by the Triabetes joke.........Almost put me in the dirt.......🤣🤣
To think Keith actually gained 450 pounds in 6 months just for this sketch
Gristle loaf was my favorite Meatloaf tribute band!
Yes, I hollard, when he was holding that log of gristle!!!! Hillarious!
This was way funnier than the live audience gave it credit for.
Considering that this was one of the post-Weekend Update sketches (the ones that aren't as funny as the ones before WU, but are still in the show regardless), I kind of understand.
Eh..
@@canaisyoung3601 oh you mean when half the viewers start watching something else instead of staying and watching the final performance of the musical guest?
“I wasn’t included in your original friend count?” Lol 😂
Woody at his best.
I liked it. I feel it's also a bit of a commentary on "why did he wear a fat suit?" complaints. Nice.
Yeah, real fat would have given Brendan, likely, belly fat. The fat suit shows lipedema, as it does here, and really communicates the difficulties arising from the weight and the vicious circle
wait what? i thought brendan put on weight.

He's been gay since boarding school.The alimony was HUSH MONEY. His current 'girlfriend' is a beard (his ex wife's makeup artist for ballroom). The Whale is his 7th gay role.
Triabetes was the biggest laugh of the night. lmaoooooo.
First time SNL got me crying, Woody was sensational in this
From Cheers, Zombieland, and True Detective - and so many other pieces, Woody Harrelson just has incredible range as an actor.
Don't forget Kingpin 🍻
You somehow omitted The People v. Larry Flynt???
Don't forget The Messenger.
A Skanner Darkly... and Natural Born Killers... ; )
3:54 Keith starring as Blob in the new X Men movie
*Solid solid skit. Theres still hope for snl, thank youuuu.* 😊
This is the best skit they’ve done in years!
This is honestly one of the funniest sketches SNL has done in awhile
Omg this skit he had me in tears!!!😂😂😂
Lolllllll
Not really
It’s wild coming back to this cuz Brendan actually won the Oscar 🏆
True.
Triabetes - fantastic!
Woody is such a good host 🙏
The "Fat Suit" being an option! OMG! 😂🤣😆
This was hilarious and was so sweet to give props to Brendan Fraser ❤
Hats off to them all for keeping a straight face I'm crying laughing over here. Woody Harrelson lights out
“I wasn’t included in your original friends count?” Lol exactly like wtf? I love this guy!
“I’m not in x-men shape right now” dude could totally play Blob
This is absolutely making me cry from laughing. Woody is so hilarious 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
This was really good! Well written and acted!
Never thought I’d see a fat suit on live tv again😂
This is by far the FUNNIEST episode ever. I am still crying with laughter
God I shouldn’t watch SNL on gummies. This was wild.
Bro lay off the flintstone vitamins will yah 😂
Overdosing on b12s and omega 3s ovaa here 😅
cops are on the way bro
Same.... snl is different while high
"I'm not really in X-Men shape". Had me rolling!
"I wasn't included in your original friend count?" 🤣🤣
This is actually brilliant 😂😂😂
major props to the make up department for doing woody's face in like 15 minutes
This was a good belly laugh - a long time coming for SNL!!! am aching!!!🤣🤣🤣🤣
Belly laugh, butt laugh, bingo wings laugh, man-titties laugh, all the laughs.
the "walking to the chair" part was def improv. They all looked confused af.
He made an acting choice and it worked.
Ego Nwodim was right. Brendan Fraser DID win the Oscar for "The Whale."
A fine sketch in a far much better than average SNL offering. 👏🏻
Kind warning, don’t have a moutfull of coffee when you start to watch this 😂
WH sitting in a chair is just perfect
The Blob is a Marvel character that Keith is perfect for .
This came to my notification feed and i Love every damn minute of it Lol 😂 woody Harrelson is a true Legend

LoL had my stomach hurting n dropping tears with this one lol lol
This is Warner Bros. Discovery in a nutshell.
I know exactly how Keith feels. I once spent an hour on a project only for there to be a power outage, causing me to lose my work
0:17 I love how they had to gaff out the "Sony" logo on the headphones with red tape.
So now they’re Prada headphones. Good job!
I haven't laughed this hard since the Chris Farley Days About dam time SNL
This was the best skit in last night's show.
Ive Never LAUGHED so Hard in my Long Life!!!
I love Darren Aronofsky and Brendan Fraser and will defend them from anyone who thought their movie was offensive. I was happy with the way this skit went. It was able to make us laugh without actually making of The Whale.
If anything, it was gently poking fun at actor's taking their roles too seriously.
