Oh you slow, backwards humans! Dimensional travel is where it's at! Just answer me one question: Is this the universe where it was the BerenSTAIN Bears or the BerenSTEIN Bears?
Kristen and Baldwin were brilliant, their gestures, reactions and delivery of each and every line of such unique and clever material, but "sounds simple" has to be my favorite, hilarious :)
If you want to see a REALLY messed up time travel movie, watch Predestination, it's about a time traveling hermaphrodite that had sex with its earlier self and then gave birth to its still earlier self. Which raises the question, why did he/she even look human, having no human ancestors? It might as well have looked like some completely random animal, it would have to be a huge coincidence for it to look human.
I just LOVE the basic premise of this sketch - that if we did invent something as profound as time travel, the human race would use it to......make microwaveable food even more convenient. Pretty sure that that is EXACTLY what we would want to use it for...
Spoiler Alert: In the movie About Time, the hero finds the only safe and ultimately good use for time travel… …to use time travel to relive each day a second time, relishing each ordinary moment with family and friends.
@@TTT-gu4kg The way they incorporated sci-fi time travel stuff in a humorous way to a corny infomercial is how I see it as good writing. It's sort of like intergalactic cable on Rick and Morty. The people keep changing every time there's something different done to the timecrowave. Each change gets more absurd. SNL doesn't usually go that deep on sci-fi stuff, and it made me laugh pretty hard, so that's why I think of it as being well written.
IKR? And I bet their spurving bearings were completely off-axis from the pentametric fan. (And with only FOUR hydrocoptic marzelvanes? Holy crap; all KINDS of side-fumbling, AMIRITE!?!) ;-)
Fun fact about the cat. In Iceland they have a tradition called The Christmas cat, it is a giant black cat that eats people on Christmas day that didn't get new clothes for Christmas, very cheerful.
That's nothing - in Zimbabwe they have a folklore tale where a gigantic white man, with Lazer beams for eyes, steals all the trees from your street on Christmas Eve (but only those on the right-hand side!). He also eats orphans. Creepy!
@@TheCatBilbo Somehow I very much doubt that. The white man have been nothing but a blessing for Zimbabwe, and they didn't even knew what Christmas was before he arrived.
This brilliant and well executed sketch with somewhat common theme of "Time Machines" and seems to be endless supply of fresh and very humorous fresh takes; could be someone in future sending back fresh takes. I recall a "Frank and Ernest" where they standing next to a time machine "project" holding hand tools with disheveled look and parts scattered across floor. The The Frank character is speaking to Ernest as he realizes obvious reality;. " I just realized something....if this time machine was going to work, we'd have traveled back to help ourselves build it by now". I thought this has been a flaw in concept the first time I saw "The Time machine" movie years ago with scientist working on machine and multiple failures......he would have traveled back to help himself by now.
I love how the obvious solution to the problem of having to wait 4 minutes is to send yourself, and the food, forward 4 minutes in time. But no, of course the Timecrowave doesn't work like that lol.
The joy of finding an old SNL skit you never saw, that is actually great
Right?!
They just don't make them like these anymore
I know. a few years later those SNL vids that you saw keeps popping back up as, I think, the UA-cam system reformats your history.
Hell yeah, Anthony... at first I didn't see the swastika banners...omg.. you just waited to see what fucked up shit the wrinkle was gonna cause
This is one of my all time favorite SNL skits.
Reporting from the year 2020 here. All we know is that someone sent the wrong dinner back....

Yes, but with Timecrowave even the ICE is piping hot.
You can hear it's rock hard when he puts it down.

And their faces were so expressive - they were even able to change color and mimic having mustaches just with facial expressions alone
The whole movie “Tenet” is based on the Timecrowave
Anime called Steins Gate also
I was thinking The Butterfly Effect.
I was so lost. I need to watch it again

This is awesomely incredible and I feel like the audience did not respond in the way that this skit deserved. This is one of the best!
It's one of the great sleeper sketches.

I think they were laser-focused on it. It's definitely complex.
@@hughmcaloon6506 They wanted to know HOW to avoid the paradox, because they were seeing *what could go wrong* unfolding

With food, I always thought: heat it before you eat it! But with the Timecrowave, I can eat it and then heat it! Thanks Timecrowave!

Bobby is hillarious !!!
Using microtrihedreon time particles was their first mistake.
I thought that too! Like me, you must also be a participle physicist!
Everyone knows that midi-chlorians will do the job just as quickly without nearly as many chrono-anomalies.

That you don't have to explain. One day you bring in a box. Ask them if they remember the Timecrowave.
