Between, Farley, Myers, Carvey, Rock, Hartman, Miller, Spade, Sandler, etc., this era had an unbelievable number of great, memorable repeated sketches. Sprockets was among my favorites. And this episode was amazing.
Years ago, at a hotel in Madrid, I watched the true German version of “Jeopardy”. It really was like a parody, everyone was so serious! Severe haircuts, those tiny squared off eyeglasses. No smiles, no kidding around - “NEIN, you are WRONG!”
Yeah its like that at the airport when you arrive in Germany. Lucky for me, being Australian, they suddenly laughed and wanted to hit the local Schöfferhofer bar with me.
Thanks to Mike Myers, Phil Hartman, Dana Carvey, etc. then morphing into Farley, Sandler, Spade and then to Ferrell, Oteri. It was better than the original cast.
Agreed. The man was fuckin hilarious. He had this one thing he would do when playing a gigantic asshole where he would be really calm and reasonable then SNAP in an instant and scream in a murderous rage. He did it a few times on News Radio and a few times in various films. Now, for a lesser comic, that would be their whole schitck. But Hartman had an arsenal of such gags. So yeah, his early death left us many examples of his capabilities without ever getting to showcase his full potential.
I was about 20 when SNL first aired Sprockets. I nearly passed out laughing when he did the dance. 👏🏻🤣. Never forget it. Especially the Ben Stiller episode. 😂🤣
I had a German teacher in school who reminded me of Dieter. He would call out names in random in class with an un-emotional tone just like Dieter. The only thing he didn't have was an electrocution system
I had a math teacher of German heritage in 5th grade named Mr. Conrad. Heavy-set, blond crew-cut. He used to take three heavy tall bookcases and put them in a triangle, books facing outward. If you needed to be punished he would make you sit on a chair inside the triangle. The bookcases were too heavy for a 10-year-old kid to move so you were trapped until he let you out. Then he would ask questions of the class and when someone in the class got the answer wrong (or sometimes even when the answer was right) he would demand the answer from the kid inside the bookcase prison. If the kid inside answered wrong he would take books and toss them over the top and you'd have to dodge them or catch them if you didn't want to get hit. Which was harder than it sounds. I'm not even joking, this is literally true. That would have been1967, in Wisconsin. I don't think this would fly today. P.S. I have nothing against people of Germanic heritage. Half the people we knew in Milwaukee were of German extraction including my best friend, my next-door neighbor who I grew up playing with and my all-time favorite teacher. I didn't care for sitting inside that triangular pen getting pelted by heavy math textbooks, however.
This sketch is much funnier than it got credit for from the tepid audience. The German band music cues, the Anne Frank siren for the daily double, 'countries that are weak' category, the dog sound effects signaling the end of the round - very clever. You vill let go of my Eggo - Now! Thanks for posting
Yeah, watch the movie, "Diary of Anne Frank" and they use the police/Gestapo siren to great effect. Sound editor short hand for the Euro/ooh-ah sound effect is the 'Anne Frank siren'
As a kid I knew nothing of German stereotypes nor had interacted with German culture enough to find any of the Sprockets sketches funny. Now at 38 they are comedy gold and have aged very well. What a phenomenal job they did.
Farley may be best known for the physical comedy but the Dieter dance at the end was brilliant skillful and funny and up there alongside the Farley moves.
I love this skit... Phil Hartman cracks me up the most.....Having spent some time living in Germany.... the dudes dancing all weird at the end is pretty accurate if you've ever been out clubbing in Germany, so it makes the skit so much funnier.
Sprockets (or "shprockets") das ist one of the funniest sketches ever on SNL yet people didn't get it. It's comedy that was over the head of most of the audience. Based on the dour German "serious art" (those who took themselves FAR too seriously) and performance art culture of the 80s-90s, Mike Myers nailed it. Perhaps it was something Canadians were more familiar with but obviously not many in the US. Still, IMO, one of the best, most brilliant skits SNL ever put out there.
It was definitely over MY head when I was watching this as a teenager. But I'll say this: even though I wasn't sure what exactly they were lampooning, I still laughed out loud at the absurdity of it.
Between Austin Powers II and III there was a rumor at the time of a Dieter movie. It sounded credible back in 2000. How I wish we had that to look back on too.
@@TralfazConstruction Google it. It was millions of dollars into pre-production when Mike Myers backed out. He didn't think they had a good script. Years of lawsuits followed. Mike Myers starring in Cat and the Hat was apparently part of the settlement to get out of the Dieter movie.
Agreed. This was a hilarious character. I'm surprised to learn there were 14 sketches. SNL doesn't seem to have hardly any posted officially. This one was literally the last Dieter sketch before a single reprise 4 years later with Myers as guest host. So the sketch had not begun to wear out its welcome AT ALL even at the end.
Worse thing about Game of Thrones is, winter wasn't a big deal and the wall wasn't really needed. They should have had a 100 year winter or something that was hard to survive, and the wall kept out something more difficult to fight. Something almost impossible to defeat. At least have the winter super cold like in The Day After Tomorrow or at least like at Stalingrad with -30 temperatures. Soldiers ears falling off if they don't tape them against their head, things like that. Instead they turned it into just another zombie flick.
You completely misunderstand. Having it be Farly, and having him sound that way were baked in to the sketch. "Farly always sounds like Farly no matter what" was part of it. So that is meta. Stop fucking arguing with people who know better than you. @@Katya_Lastochka
To MustelFilm, Thank you, thank you for uploading these sprockets skits. They were always some of my favorites, and oddly difficult to find on the internet... (I think because of N BC and copyright, etc. I hope they let you keep these posted.) Much enjoyment, thanks!
Underrated sketch. There are so many great jokes but it didn't get enough laughs from the audience, probably because the humor was a little over their heads. I'll bet the writers had a blast creating the sketch, though.
It was Andy Dicks fault. He got her back on drugs. She wasnt in her right mind. I forget which snl alumini did he. But its one you wouldnt expect. Beat the shit out of Andy yelling Phil would still be alive if it werent for you
The mispronunciations are a bit funny, at least. Mike's bit is just playing his Dr. Evil character here with less Lorne Michaels added to it. Actually he looks more Frau Farbissina. He recycled a bunch of ideas from the film Brain Candy for the Austin Powers films, those aren't bad.

I refuse to get upset about Farley he did that to himself. He knew he had a problem with drugs and alcohol and never got help. As for Phil's wife, I disagree with Buttfly. That woman had struggled with mental illness and I don't think Phil was an easy husband to live with. It doesn't justify murder but it also doesn't justify damning someone for a medical problem they couldn't control.
Bruh Farley was in and out of rehab several times throughout his career. You can say he lost the battle but don't say he never got help. That shit is hard. If you are going to give Phil's wife a pass because of mental illness it would be hypocritical to not give one to Chris.
bloodsling The single greatest character that Phil Hartman ever played, period. Yes the sketch was a segment on Sprockets, entitled Love Werks. The video is on YT somewhere.
bloodsling Putting Sprockets aside for a moment as one of the best sketches on SNL during that period, One musn't forget another in a great series of sketches, Hub's Diner ("You like the juice, huh? Juice is good huh?")
I love these skits but I'm glad they never made a movie of it because it couldn't have worked in the Happy Maddison style of stories and would have been awful. (Did you know Pat got a movie? I think it's worse than Master of Disguise)
I could see that... The movie opening at the end of a show with the dancing and then just seeing his life open up as he leaves work and does whatever he does all day or night.
Not too far off some of the things you see on tv there- surprised they watch at all, in my experience- and I mean that in a good way. My German friends love Sprockets skit. Just bizarro things they get into- I once went to a Bastille Day celebration in Munich! ANd a battle of the bands in a tent with all the bands sounding like Front 242 and Kraftwerk.
for anyone here, please look up Phil Hartmann doing a short comedy bit on a US talk show, in German. He toured Germany and was voted funniest comedian.
Das ist FUNNY! I've met some amazingly cool Germans in Germany. Hello Spike and friends in Munchen! Hello Wolfhard and Tracy in Berlin! This was hilariously accurate. The beauty of traveling through Europe is to meet and hang out with the locals, most of them very cool, kind, generous, aware, intelligent, funny people. We had a great time in Germany.
Yeah Germany is great. As is Austria 👍 people are great. And agree with you, travelling through Europe is a must. I'm from Ireland and I've only scratched the surface. Loads more in Europe around the balkans I'd like to see, and explore Germany more. Was only in southern Germany, around munich. What about you , mein frankfurter ?

Man I miss Chris Farley and Phil Hartman they were the best actually the whole cast back then were great!!!..
Try doing that one now...fffing brilliant.
This sketch should been made into a movie...
I love these dancers so much.
So much talent in one skit.
Chris Farley soooooo reminds me of Sergeant Schultz on Hogan's Heroes
The Jeopardy theme is played by a German Oom Pow Pa band.
German Shepard guard dogs growling signals the end of play. Brillliant.
oh man,I love this Phil Hartman character "pee on you chanting house on fire house on fire then you wake up with a sz7 poop chute"
bloodsling LOL I remember that...it was a skit of The Dating Game, was it not .YA :o)
Susan Filek yah something like that,mid 80's-early 90's was SNL at it's best imo.
bloodsling The single greatest character that Phil Hartman ever played, period. Yes the sketch was a segment on Sprockets, entitled Love Werks. The video is on YT somewhere.
bloodsling Putting Sprockets aside for a moment as one of the best sketches on SNL during that period, One musn't forget another in a great series of sketches, Hub's Diner ("You like the juice, huh? Juice is good huh?")
I love these skits but I'm glad they never made a movie of it because it couldn't have worked in the Happy Maddison style of stories and would have been awful.
(Did you know Pat got a movie? I think it's worse than Master of Disguise)
Mike turns brittish halfway through.
Your pain is exquisite. Your anger is delicious. Your tears are intoxicating.
"exquisite"
Always thought Dieter had a little more depth that could have been explored in a full-length movie, vs. the Wayne character.
A movie was planned.
I could see that... The movie opening at the end of a show with the dancing and then just seeing his life open up as he leaves work and does whatever he does all day or night.
@@danbsports6760 It would have been a dark comedy, with lots of Euro/German references and of course, Dieter’s very fluid sexual lifestyle.
Sprockets was a very underrated series of sketches.
6:21 I need the German oompah Jeopardy theme as my ringtone...
Never knew I was dyslexic.
Not too far off some of the things you see on tv there- surprised they watch at all, in my experience- and I mean that in a good way. My German friends love Sprockets skit. Just bizarro things they get into- I once went to a Bastille Day celebration in Munich! ANd a battle of the bands in a tent with all the bands sounding like Front 242 and Kraftwerk.
It was good of Mike Meyers to give Seth McFarlanes sea manatees their first job writing his Sprockets sketches.
No integers in Das ist Jeopardy... So you are the winner!!
for anyone here, please look up Phil Hartmann doing a short comedy bit on a US talk show, in German. He toured Germany and was voted funniest comedian.
Sprockets is the best skit ever on SNL
Das ist FUNNY! I've met some amazingly cool Germans in Germany. Hello Spike and friends in Munchen! Hello Wolfhard and Tracy in Berlin! This was hilariously accurate. The beauty of traveling through Europe is to meet and hang out with the locals, most of them very cool, kind, generous, aware, intelligent, funny people. We had a great time in Germany.
Yeah Germany is great. As is Austria 👍 people are great. And agree with you, travelling through Europe is a must. I'm from Ireland and I've only scratched the surface. Loads more in Europe around the balkans I'd like to see, and explore Germany more. Was only in southern Germany, around munich. What about you , mein frankfurter ?
