@@FinancialFreedomFinder they were talking about the war in Iraq🇮🇶, not a retaliatory response from a strike from Iran🇮🇷 to Israel🇮🇱. She was a New York Senator on 9/11 of course she was in support of the war in Iraq, your clip had absolutely nothing to do with that though.
Really!? There was so much propaganda even my small town video store had a "documentary" about him before he was even seriously considered. He was no different than before the last one.
The very first time I heard Obama speak, I thought, this gentleman will go far! He didn't sound like a preacher, which for a Black politician was a new thing.
@Waldo Wall who Trump? If he were anywhere close to the most powerful person in the world do you think clowning the shit out of him would be the global pastime? Don’t you think the most powerful person in the world wouldn’t allow himself to be publicly ridiculed 24/7?
haha ik what you mean. but i think its bc trump literally acts like a satire, so their jokes just sound like copies of what he says. i mean the dude literally stared at an eclipse without protective glasses. thats hard to satirize
@Waldo Wall idk chief, he's been a serial cheater, fraudster, and racist forever. look up his actions toward the central park five and leading the birther campaign. not attacking you just noting some stuff
@Waldo Wall i mean he was also court in 1979 i think for housing discrimination against black people, then the birther campaign against the first non-white POTUS ever. so yah he's always been like this
No way! When he appeared on Flight of the Conchords it was epic. Most people just aren't very sensual to that entire "awkward"-funny and he does it so well. He is the perfect McGruber, also. I wonder if he'd be good in drama.
This sketch is funnier if you don't know the context behind Hillarys' sniper fire comment (had to learn what that was after the fact); first couple of times I watched it, it sounded like she was saying she had a sniper on Petraeus right then and there.
She claimed to be under sniper fire while visiting Iraq (EDIT: Bosnia) but video emerged showing this was false, so in the sketch she is trying to say that the video didn't catch it because sniper fire can be very, very quiet especially on film.
Because she lied about 'being under sniper fire' when landing in Bosnia, when actually she got off the plane and talked to people for an hour afterwards
remember when hagen daz was big...it was near the age of bon bon, right on the heals of the klondike they seemed to come through a peppermint patty. Ever Hear of the Comedian he had Good Humor..
And she wrote yet another book since this sketch blaming her loss to every reason under the sun but pssst it was all you Hillary. Unlikeable in 2008 unlikable in 2016. Sad.
Conservatives and Trump supporters keep saying that SNL and the late night talk shows never criticized or mocked Democrats or Hillary Clinton. They always claim that Clinton got a free pass. Not!
SNL obviously had black cast members in 2008. Why does it matter if the person doing the impression is black? If fred armisen does the best obama impression he should get the role whether hes black or not.
I mean Fred Armisen isn't white he's Asian-Latino ( is it the right term?) and has facial features in which without much makeup he can do Obama impression.
My favorite line in this is "lack of agreement between subject and predicate..."
Same lol
Not better than "those squabbly Mohamidans" at 4:43
Darrel Hammond was the most underrated cast member ever on SNL. He did some amazing impressions but kind of flew under the radar famewise
I think we would all like to met him and see the impressions up close and ask him about those.
I thought he was going to be the one doing Trump impressions because his is SO spot on.
Angelica Rodriguez I think I read that they didn’t really tell him that he was out as Trump and it was kind of a huge blow to him.
His McCain impression is quite good!
@@AngelicaRodriguez-mb2ld he totally broke down when Alec Baldwin got the job...
The look on McCain's face while waiting for Petraeus to review his book breaks my heart
Mine too. I hope he found it funny.
I read that book, it was rather good.
@@tidefanyankee2428 no it wasn't, it was the rantings of a senile white supremacist
😁one of the best parts 😁
3:03 "that I and others...WHO HAVE OPPOSED THIS WAR FROM THE BEGINNING..." this is PRICELESS :)))))))))))))))))))))))

Cant stand Hillary
@@thisguy9819 nothing in common between 9/11 and the Iraq war
@@ankursharma9019 alot of these idiots refuse to get that thru their skulls.
ah yes, back when they still had to exaggerate politicians' lies for comedic effect
Will Forte and Amy Poehler at their best!
The Obama becoming president joke was gold. SNL had no way of knowing he would win over Clinton and McCain.
Really!? There was so much propaganda even my small town video store had a "documentary" about him before he was even seriously considered. He was no different than before the last one.
It aired April 2008, it was basically him and Clinton head to head and Clinton was as bland as she ever was.
The very first time I heard Obama speak, I thought, this gentleman will go far!
He didn't sound like a preacher, which for a Black politician was a new thing.
@@smkh2890 It depended on the setting/circumstances/situation and who his audience was. He can sound like a preacher.
Clinton was losing and the GOP was doomed by Bush.
It's funny/weird seeing Will Forte play such the straight man in a sketch. I also love McCain's shrug at 6:49 lol
can somebody who edits these make the ending theme song LOUDER please?
ikr
WHAT?! I DON'T THINK THEY CAN HEAR YOU
You are right, Mr Chandler Bing.
I have to say this is the best cold open that I have seen from SNL, I just wanted it to continue all day. Fantastic.
Compared to current SNL, this is brilliant Mark Twainesque satire. This is so smart and is actually critical of the powerful.
... nah.

4:31 I died laughing xD Bill Hader is a gem!
people underestimate will forte so much

Check out "Last man on Earth". He's starring in it, and it has a bit of Sudekis
+NeuroticPixieSlasher isn't he also the creator, a writer and a producer on the show?
I never underestimated him, I don't underestimate him and I will never understimate him.
I know
The Cold Pink depiction was spot on!
Code, not cold
Wow never saw this till today. Blown away. Really captures the insanity of the iraq war incrementalism. Like a short version of film "in the loop"
Lol at the amount of badges on Petraeus’ uniform!
Man, I remember this shit from when I was 10-11. It was around the time I first started reading magazines.
Thank you for the documentary.
After 7 years AND this still makes me laugh.
Dude u know this is from April 2008 , right? Jesus Christ, unbelievable. It's sad tbh
Hammond really rocked McCain's role! Next to Sean and Bill Clinton I say...
I just came here to hear Will Forte say, "Live from New York, it's Saturday night!"
This sketch is funnier if you don't know the context behind Hillarys' sniper fire comment (had to learn what that was after the fact); first couple of times I watched it, it sounded like she was saying she had a sniper on Petraeus right then and there.
i don't know about the comment. can you elaborate?

@@jonathancampbell5231 Bosnia?
Yes, you are right; it was Bosnia. My mistake.
Jonathan Campbell: why is the sketch funnier if I don't know the context...? I thought, it was just the other way round..???!!!
GREAT SKIT !
jokes are funny but still no americans punished for war crimes and breaking UN law
Nenad Cvijetić.. Ya Ya Ya..... Blah Blah Blah..... Yada Yada Yada..... YOU JOKER 🥴🤦♂️
@@ovrdozzzz i believe you are an uniformed buffoon
Owen Chau.....and the good news my bastard son is that I'm not even American....🤣🤣🤣🤣
yup ... just seems to matter when its an American getting killed
Sh.....you have to get better at a retort, can't use the same lines as I did.....duhhhh.....🤣🤣
They forgot the part where General Petraeus actually fainted dieing his testimony!
Bill Hader is just fantastic! 🤣
As an ex-patriate American of 40 years standing, I am very proud of SNL, one of our best recurring products and standards.
I thought McGrubber quit military years ago...
Byrd was elected from 1959 until his death in 2010??? That shouldn't be allowed to happen. I mean, no matter which party you're from.
The guy doing Petraeus looks eerily like John Cleese.
No he fucking doesnt
Nah, Will Forte has a much sharper chin and shorter head
I can see it, it’s the eyes
More like Brian Forster aka “Chris Partridge”
Patreus' poker face is the best thing.
Sums up the idiocy of our elected officials fairly accurately.
Our? Only amerikkkans would "elect" these racist murderers
I love how his last name is “Miller”
I’m going to watch “we’re the Millers” now lol
…also Mike Miller from Last Man on Earth.
Why did Hillary Clinton ask about sniper fire?
Because she lied about 'being under sniper fire' when landing in Bosnia, when actually she got off the plane and talked to people for an hour afterwards
wow... the good old times of SNL when you could make fun of hillary clinton.
now it's just PC cesspool. shame on you SNL, shame on you 'lefties'
they have a better circus and a better clown to mock now...
bitter much, kimmel black?
@@corkygobshite9941 he obviously is.
this is actually amazing
Greatest SNL generation !
Surprised snl still has this up lol
How good is Will Forte ?? Wow
He plays a great straight man here.
As soon as I heard “oldest living chairman…” I just knew they were gonna cut away to Bill Hader 😂
that was soo clever and funny af
Live from New York , it is Saturn day ice!!! 9:22
Is the chairman played by Andy Samberg? He seriously looks like judge Marshall Eriksen lol
It is Andy. And I do admit, he looks very freakish in the makeup.
sudeikis is wearing miller
prequell to TLMOE
Super close ringer for Pres. Obama
As a guy from the Middle East I can’t agree more ☝️
Game recognize Game
The sad horrible thing about this skit ....it's pretty much true to life . And all we do is laugh.
who landed here from watching this last 2 weeks of Afghanistan news.
This is a classic.
How great would it be if hearings such as these were this honest.
…like a bugle sounding on a forsaken battlefield…
Never realized code pink was in SNL 😂
SNL female cast members have mastered the art of Hillary Clinton 😂
was it in your reccomend too this day ? =D
@@Lin3r yeah youtube algorithms thought I should see it 🤣
So much so that they scare me even more than the original..
Isn’t it amazing how the science fiction of the past as well as the comedy seems to foretell the future, I say a resounding YES !
darrell hammond you are a frikkin genius!!!!!!!!
remember when hagen daz was big...it was near the age of bon bon, right on the heals of the klondike they seemed to come through a peppermint patty. Ever Hear of the Comedian he had Good Humor..
The guy is gonna be the next president, no offence
Totally misread this and thought it was an Oscar pistorius 😅
1:48
"And what about oil revenue?"
"That's all being stolen, we're not sure by whom"...ummm by the USA?
Excellent channel, SNL.
Even before he had been nominated SNL had predicted Obama’s win!
It was quite easy to predict, Obama has overwhelming mainstream support
I thought Patreus had a chance to run for the presidency,... in 2016.
Bill is a GOD AMONGST MORTALS!
Bill hader?
It's like a current situation wow
He's going to be the next President. No offence
This cast was truly one of the greats...makes the current cast seem even worse by comparison
SNL should be part of the High School Curriculum.
I didn't read any of these books. Was the assessment accurate?
When did MaGrubber become a 4 star general?
Is that "Christopher Guest" sitting behind the gen.?
Hillary got me 🤣
lol this just goes to show....
everything was planned out. The Cabal runs deep
Would’ve made it even more perfect….Paula Broadwell emerges from UNDER the table. 😂
The first to like this sketch must've been General Petraeus himself.
Did fred armison do black face for this?
No, they just did his ear and hair
The first senator character sounds exactly like William Friedkin, director of "Chinatown" and "The Exorcist".
What an obscure reference, Mr. Gumby.
@@fuzzybits410 "My brrraiin huuurts! Are you the brain specialist???!"
i'm right but this was so so funny
A lot of death, a lot of suffering, a lot of profit, a lot of pocket's lined and resources stolen.
But a sweet fast-food court.
Brilliance...
Genialne. Mają talent.
Danka
u dont know who steals the oil huh ?! :D thats the REAL comedy
Was he turning into an alien 😂
I'm watching this on December 28, 2019.
Apple bees and Best buy's and others come when cites hit 50000 demographics
SNL make fun of everyone, they don’t care 😂. That’s exactly how those people look in the background!
Yes. People are still dying even 5 years after this... and the laughter goes on?
And she wrote yet another book since this sketch blaming her loss to every reason under the sun but pssst it was all you Hillary. Unlikeable in 2008 unlikable in 2016. Sad.
lol this is the SNL of old i miss.. shots fired at all sides. Make fun of everyone.
They actually made fun of hillary! Different times
Conservatives and Trump supporters keep saying that SNL and the late night talk shows never criticized or mocked Democrats or Hillary Clinton. They always claim that Clinton got a free pass. Not!
It' s Tandy from Last man on Earth !
Too bad Patraeus dishonored himself and the Army.
I could be wrong but I think this has Jim Downey written all over it.
2008. When SNL apparently didn't have any black cast members, so you get Fred Armisen as Obama.
Yep, really sad!
But he was really good at Obama. Darrell Hammond used to do Jesse Jackson as well.
SNL obviously had black cast members in 2008. Why does it matter if the person doing the impression is black?
If fred armisen does the best obama impression he should get the role whether hes black or not.
I mean Fred Armisen isn't white he's Asian-Latino ( is it the right term?) and has facial features in which without much makeup he can do Obama impression.
awesome script writing
they tried real hard to polish her off for the 2016 elections...really hard
awesome, but don't understand joke with the sniper
Hilary once claimed she flew into Yugoslavia and got shit at by a sniper but on the videotape it didn’t happen mate
Shot I mean 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
@@Noname47122 nice, i got it )))
I command my overall thoughts about Neal Stephenson’s Termination Shock to be shared with every person involved here. Hollywood, announce.
no changes from yesterday to today. Politicians for profit will always be the game. The Supreme court of the land says so.
Long shot but who is the Actor who is behind Will Forte ?(not sudeikis).
Where the girls being like how sexy is Bill Hadar here?? 😁😋😋
Hey guys, this was 7 years ago
This cast makes the current cast (minus Keenan) look like shlubs😂
Funny because Kenan was in the cast at this time as well.
