“One of our writers”
Lmao, imagine going from random snl writer to celebrity guest
He was a stand up comedian long before he was an SNL writer. Kind of a waste of his talents always being behind the scenes.
Sooooo many people got their start in snl
John D so behind the scenes are untalented? He brought us iconic sketches in snl. Bill Hader, most known on snl for Stefon - Wouldn’t exist without John!! He was showing his talent bts
@@corpiusa3171 I think what he meant was that he's funnier when he's the one telling the jokes and his talent shines better that way.
Let me mention a random SNL writer who broke out big time: Chevy Chase.
wow just when I thought John couldn't look any younger then he already does.
That tall child looks horrible
Hes immortal confirmed
Monkeu this was made in 2013 so you gotta take that in account
@@johnlewis8934 but if you read the description, you'll see it was originally aired in april of 2010. so he's like 27 here (turning 28 that year), if my math is right. so yeah, your original point still stands, but he's even /younger/ in this clip than we were led to believe.
I recognized him from the ‘like a boss’ video recently and gasped pretty much
It’s so weird seeing John low energy like this??? LET THE MAN STAND AND YELL AT THE CROWD
YES
YES
He's calm and I'm used to him yelling fuck
TelePrompTer too slow
It indeed is a massive contrast from “the passwords of past you’ve correctly guessed- but now it’s time for the robot test!” *two giant hops*
It stresses me out that he never ages.
He's a robot, open your eyes!!!
@@hickyxnicky411 no, he's immortal I looked it up
This is a really old clip though.
he and keanu reeves had a contract
nah he just looks like a sick tall child
The “unless you don’t like having your mind blown” has the same vocal energy as “unless you count the wonka factory”
underrated
Srishti Gupta yup
I think it's a testament to how much better and used to performing he's gotten. Not that this bit was bad at all but I think today he could do the same jokes word for word and perform it better.
came here to say this lol
He does look like a tall child
woah! get some rest, tall child!
@@abby_4144 He can't keep on burning the candle at both ends!
I'm a tall child and I agree
He doesn't get older he just gets worse
He's a proud Asian-American woman... he's a tiger mom!
That tall child looks terrible! Get some rest tall child!
TheMags4life you cant keep burning the candle at both ends
Never gets old. Just like Mulaney himself.
TheMags4life ❤️❤️❤️
Hey! That is a proud Asian American Woman!
@@live1903 It is? I thought it was a Victorian ghost.
This audience didn’t deserve John Mulaney.
Fact.
so true...
I don’t know, his delivery wasn’t great there. I’m pretty sure the problem is the same as for any SNL sketch, they read their lines off of cue cards. Pretty much all the comedians are a lot better when they don’t visibly rely on those.
John Mulaney didn’t deserve this audience.
Andrew P oooh i do not like you
His delivery has gotten better over the years but this shows that his material has always been awesome.
Its so weird, because I can almost hear him in his current style and is freaking amazing...!
I was a Girl Scout from kindergarten through 12th grade, and he's not wrong. It's weird how you can only get cookies for a brief time of year.
Morgan K if you know scouts around the country they all sell at slightly different times, so you can get a few months out of it
It's also about having the girls learn about business, it's really to teach them a skill
Violet Lars But I need chocolate cookies with a peanut butter center that melt in my mouth. Surely there's gotta be a compromise, I mean the boy scouts do the same thing with popcorn nobody really likes. Just switch out the product and have proceeds go directly to the girl scouts. Also, we all need to learn to sell online now.
I think it’s dumb that the Girl Scouts aren’t allowed to sell during Boy Scout popcorn sales. My troop leader cared more about the Boy Scouts sales than ours.
Hi! I'm a current girl scout - we aren't allowed to sell year round because it's something about that making us not count as a non profit orgainization. That's what I was told, but I could be wrong.
why does he look like a baby here. is it his haircut? the glimour of hope in his eye? i really dont know.
It's because his eyes are so far apart
It’s the Supercuts hair cut lol
What’s wrong with that tall child?
*glimmer
Now I can't unsee that. Thanks a lot
It's been 8 years and no one has fixed this problem.
Matt k You can buy them online, but only during cookie season.
Hi! I'm a current girl scout - we aren't allowed to sell year round because it's something about that making us not count as a non profit orgainization. That's what I was told, but I could be wrong.
Also you can buy them online now, during cookie season!
Aldi sells girlscout cookies, and have done for a couple years.
Aldi cookies taste indistinguishable from real Girl Scout cookies, especially the thin mints
“And you are certainly not the McRib”
Mulaney is a comedic genius
I'm not saying that I would run out and get one at McDonald's right this minute, but c'mon, McDonald's, make the McRib a regular menu item!
I once saw a suburban mom at a party wait until everyone was hammered to invite them to her minivan to buy her kid's GS cookies. In that moment I realized two things: being drunk makes want cookies more than usual and that I was in the presence of a genius.
Yes, I have heard a few stories involving the purchase of GSC by people who were wasted and hungry. :))
Same vibe as Ross in friends
This works when high too
I did that when I was selling chocolate bars for school lol. They were gone in minutes
The real genius is the Girlscout who set up her stand outside of a dispensary!
It's so weird seeing John as the most underdressed one in the room. He NEEDS A TIE. He isn't John without it!
A very thin one. It should be yellow.
His delivery has gotten much better. Also it got better throughout the course of this video.
0:16, oh, Hello.
Ahh, hello
"Coca-Cola is only sold in July, and only bought from columbuses knights" im dying 😂
Agree. Brilliant
*Knights of Columbus
Get some rest, tall child!
You can't keep burning the candle at both ends!
As a Girl Scout Of 11 years this hit really close to home.
Kate Coman fucking MOOD
yes.
Oh yes same
I don’t get it. Care to explain?
"It's baby John!" I yell to no one in particular in my otherwise empty home, knowing that in this bit John Mulaney was five years older than I am today.
"one of our writers"
who's about to host snl for the fourth time
**Me, a girl scout, casually eating thin mints in June bc I get a year-round supply**
"How come I have to know a child in a beret in order to get them? I have American money..." #lolzzz
So glad he's hosting now.
I love this feature because it's like it is delivery is trying to be so mild manner and it doesn't work and the audience is barely laughing, but you can hear Seth chuckling along the whole time. Which then points to the reason why the features even happening, Seth wanted to hear John say jokes in front of a crowd and I think that's very sweet
* *7 years ago* *
UA-cam: ah yes, let’s recommend this now !
When I was a young child, I was in an organization called brownies. I was a brownie. And we sold pizzas.
There’s a joke in there somewhere.
I love how his stand up comedy is legit just like this, it's so weird 😂
this didn’t get nearly as many laughs as it should have
Seth and baby mulaney on weekend update. This feels like watching a baby album
John Mulaney is my favorite comedian!!!!!
The title makes it seem like John Mulaney was tripping off of Girl Scout cookies
He sounds like Bert from Sesame Street
puBerty
lol mulaney is amazing. and i love how his actual bit was 2 minutes of this video, while the rest was a full minute of sax blasting afterward. 😂🎷🎷
how come i need to know a child in a berre in order to get them just sell me the cookies-John Mulaney rants bout weird child army 2013 lmao
Can't find girl scout cookies? Fun fact: If you go to the girl scout website, they'll give you the email of a girl scout in your area so you can buy cookies. You actually can buy them online.
John looks like a 13 year old comedian demanded his body to grow up and his body was like "here you go, funny man! This'll help your career!"
Weird child army is now my new nickname for Girl scouts.
Crazy how his delivery hasn’t changed in 9 years. I seriously think this guy’s immortal.
this tall child has not yet gone through puberty
yk he has a point, I’d pay a premium for Girl Scout cookies if I could get them in the store, and then when the girls all go out selling them, it’s at a “reduced price”
We can't sell them in the stores because troops get less than 20% of the boxes we already sell. No one would buy from the troops if they could get them in a store. One thing that I've had happen before, though, is one woman bought about 200 boxes from me and sold them in her store. I think that's relatively reasonable.
Why is he SO hot
Robert Adams I don't know he's fucking gorgeous. He looks like he stepped out of a Norman Rockwell painting.
Marriage does that to a small minority of ppl. And money. Money also adds +5 attractive points
Hell, I’m straight but even Id fuck em if opportunity were to come a-knockin’.
Robert Adams hes got those asian american woman good genes
How are you attracted to a this tall child
I hope this was just for the comedic element. Because you can get both Thin Mints and Samoas anytime you want. They are essentially the same as Keebler Grasshoppers and Coconut Dreams(Made in same factory)
It's interesting seeing him so tame, but he actually expands upon it in a video SNL just released a few months ago in their series "Stories from the Show" and Mulaney explains his stint as a writer and the aftermath.
Initially he DID audition for the cast, but Seth Myers called him and said, "You got the job, but lemme be clear, you're a writer," and Mulaney was totally cool with it.
He also said in that video this was his first time on camera and during the rehearsal of this, Lorne Michaels(creator) was watching and said, "John relax your face"
So this was the first time he did something this. He was a nervous wreck!
Wow this child who is still in high school will make it big some day
John is like Rami Malek. He never agaes.
The reason the cookies aren’t in stores is because the organization wants to support individual GS troops, so they can go on trips and afford other things. If they were sold in a store, then there would be no way of delegating each troop their money in a reasonable way. I was a GS for 12 years, and (in my experience) the only fun part was when we saved up enough cookie money to take trips to places like California and New York.
THIS
My troop saved up for two years to go to Savannah for a weekend. It's one of the highlights of my career.
wolverinedoctorwho Hell yeah! I’ve been to Savannah! Such a beautiful place. Lots of great food too. 😄
Also, I think I've heard selling year round makes the organization count as profit instead of non profit. But yeah, selling otherwise would definitely cause us to earn less cookie money. We barely earn any now, but it's at least something.
Jess B... Two questions for you. 1) Are you telling me that the Girl Scouts couldn’t possibly make money year-round for the actual Girl Scouts’s trips by selling the cookies in stores? Then how do you think the Susan G. Komen organization for breast cancer research raises money for breast cancer research by selling all of those pink ribbon pens and pink ribbon cereals and pink ribbon deodorants... year-round... in stores? Do you know how many organizations fundraise by taking a portion of profits from in-store sales all year long? (By the way, they’re making more money than the Girl Scouts). ...... 2) So.... where do the Girl Scouts in NY and CA go for trips??? 😂😅
I was in Girl Scouts as a kid in NJ... we never went to NY or CA for a Girl Scout trip. We did go to Nibble Fest, nearby.
Sarah O Making a profit only part of the year to try to pretend you’re non-profit is LYING, bad business, and frankly many NGOs have been disbanded for this reason because it is illegal. If Girl Scout wants to make a profit (which they do with more than just cookies... they profit off of selling you your uniform and the administrative fees for the leaders of each troop), then CEO should have to pay sales taxes like every other company that makes a profit off of kids should, like Pop Warner Football and Cheerleading, for instance. If they want to be truly non-profit, the Girl Scouts would be a school club or Church-run club, and the kids would be making and selling cookies themselves. The cookies are corporately made in factories, and corporately sold to troop leaders who have to pay the company back with cookie sales, and only a portion of the cookie sales goes to the actual Girl Scout troops. That’s why it takes you two years to save enough money to make a super affordable road trip. If the cookies are corporately made, they should be corporately taxed, and sold like normal cookies, with a percentage guaranteed to be donated to Girl Scout troops. The troops would make more money this way, you could each afford road trips every year. The Girl Scouts is a pyramid scheme.
I have never EVER related to something more in my entire life
Aww back when he was a baby. He's gotten so much better
He makes valid points but there’s usually one or two Girl Scouts outside a grocery store
How does no one else see that he sounds EXACTLY like Colen Jost in thissss
the delivery :mwuah
BAck in the 1960s when I was a Girl Scout, we lived near a big university. We'd go knocking on the dorm room doors and sell a ton of them, till security kicked us out. Also, the frats and sororities were a fantastic place to sell. Cookies were only a dollar a box then, and they only had Thin Mints or Shortbread. Flashforward to the 90s and early 2000s when my daughter was a girl scout. She stayed in till HS graduation, and was the only GS in her high school. She'd just bring a couple of cases each day, and kids cleaned her out. She had a monopoly in that market!
john whispering "they're fantastic" got me rolling
Keebler Coconut Dreams are basically Samoas. Cheaper on a per-cookie basis and readily available at stores year-round.
Okay but it’s been 10 years and all these points are still valid... 😂
Knock off thin mints are just as good. Plus, they’re the only kind I’m legally allowed to buy after getting “handsy”.
Im’a blow your mind... Safeway brand cookies come in every flavor as the Girl Scout cookies. They taste exactly the same and they’re cheaper!!! You’re welcome...🤗
Same with Aldi.
Dude! 🤘
Cin Lou bruh stop stealing my business - a 10 year girl scout
😛
Emelia A Come up with a better business model - Someone who doesn’t like being bothered as I walk out of Lowes.
"weird child army in table cloth dresses"😂 John still has a phobia of 13-year olds😂
the clover valley ( dollar general) brand ones are just as good, available year round and half the price. It's a problem living walking distance from one.
Yeah but buying from the girl scouts (when you can) supports the organization
This is scaringly close to how matpat looked around this time too
you can buy them on Amazon now.....mostly in bulk
neopersia99 not in 2010 fool
Jace Macon That's why he said "now"
0:17 ooh hello
And that was my introduction to John Mulaney. It would not be the last time I would watch him perform.
that's why you buy them by the crate every year
sincerely,
a former girl scout who consistently sold 300+ boxes of cookies each year.
I have been looking for this video for years. This was my first introduction to John Mulaney and since then I’ve been a fan!
I remember watching this when I was 10. It’s still hilarious!
I'm glad that tall child is doing well
GS cookie sales are for fund raising. Each troop gets a portion of the proceeds to fund their activities (the rest goes to National GS).
Individual GS earn badges based on their sales as well.
We get around 20% of the $5 lol. And yeah, there's lots of badges around it! And pins
Keebler makes a version of a couple of the Girl Scout cookies lol 😂
He really does look like his kindergarten picture with yellowed teeth and bags under the eyes
Now I want to buy huge quantities of girlscout cookes and resell them online when they're out of season.
Holy cow this guy’s been funny for YEARS!!
My green beret came with a box of cookies and a sash.
now he’s hosting SNL Halloween 2020 for the FOURTH TIME!!!!
He is absolutely right!
Just but the Aldi cookies year round for half the price. You’re welcome.
Omg yes.
When he breaks away from the cards and talks to Seth is the only time he's a live.
He reminds me of Hospital Horse, reading from a prompter is weak an uninteresting, let them speak freely and at the very least it'll be entertaining.
I was a Girl Scout from ages 8-18, so here're my answers:
* The cookies are once a year as a marketing tactic. Yeah, it would be good to get them year round, but would they be as special? Would they taste as better if they weren't so rare? The rarity makes them special, like diamonds. I worked a booth one time where a man bought three CASES of Thin Mints because we went to a nearby town where there weren't a whole lot of Girl Scouts around. (For the unaware: Three cases of Thin Mints is 36 boxes of Thin Mints, and also hard to carry unless you throw the boxes in a shopping cart like this guy did.)
* Maybe it's just my council but I think I've seen maybe one beret on a girl my entire career, and I can't even remember right now if I really ever saw it.
* We know Samoas and Thin Mints are our top sellers. Trust us. We have other cookies, and some do sell particularly well, but they don't come close.
* The Cub Scouts have a popcorn sale in the fall, so they tried. They don't sell super well because it's popcorn in a tin, you can buy the same thing at Sam's the whole Christmas season. However, Girl Scouts has a sale in the fall where they sell nuts, candies, magazines, and more recently calendars and tumblers. As you can tell from the addition of products, nobody buys a damn thing during fall sale season other than maybe family members.
Big secret about the BSA and GSA if you've read this far: Everything is a marketing tactic. Selling once a year is a tactic, having cute little kids is a tactic, (if you're a troop of older kids like I was in, bringing a Daisy or a Brownie to your cookie booth is a tactic), the BSA trying to allow girl cub dens to get more people in rather than just making their organization better is a tactic, the GSA having sugar free or gluten free cookies is a tactic (and believe me, the gluten free sold way better than the sugar free we had my first year). I'm not saying the BSA and GSA are heartless, but the kids in the dens and troops need money to do stuff like go camping or do field trips and other fun stuff.
Tl:Dr - To quote John Mulaney himself, "Give us some MONEY!!"
Also, I was told that if we sold year round we would no longer count as non profit. And I recently made 250 dollars off the nuts and magazines thing in the fall. At least they raised the price so we could get more money off the cookies lol
And same with the thin mints thing!! We had one guy buy 100 dollars worth of thin mints off of us, and I had a woman buy 200 boxes off of me.
250$ for fall sales? Dang! Maybe people just buy more where you live XD
Also I was told they raised it to 4$ so we wouldn't have to worry about quarters, but there's probably multiple reasons
@@Sours56 yeah,or the fact that my mom advertised on Facebook for like 10 years xD (and it's online too)
And now it's 5 dollars, I think they raised it for inflations sake
Yeah, we never really pushed that hard for fall sales where I live.
Also last year when I sold everything was 4$ except for the Toffee-Tastic and the Smores, so either they've changed it since this spring or it's different between our areas
@@Sours56 I think the change happened two years ago? Not 100% sure. But that is possible
And we push for fall sales bc we get patches and stuff
And it's never the same time every year, it's like they follow a lunar calendar or something
Now that I'm properly looking at his face, he *does* look like a young boy.
*Get some rest, tall child!!*
okay but this the first time I get the thing when people say John sounds like drew .. he does !!
**Pulls thin mints out of the freezer and eats the whole box
If this had been my first exposure to John Mulaney I would have been convinced beyond a shadow of a doubt that that wasn’t his real voice
Girl Scout cookies support GIRL SCOUTS. The troops need the support.
Awww john and seth as babies
“How come I have to know a child in a beret”
I'd buy them for sure
Samoas make happy
Who's here the week before the election 2020 eagerly awaiting the one ray of sunshine that will grace the airwaves this Saturday night?
wow! john really changed in these pass 10 years. diffrent hair,diffrent energy. john mulaney is one of my favorite comidens and hes also one of my crushes! [im a simp for him] but wow! 10 years
flashbacks to girl scouts in my grade bringing duffel bags of cookies to school and leaving with it empty
the Knights of Columbus line was funny as shit! lol the whole bit was great, but i did my deep/loud laugh when i heard that..and ive already heard this bit.
As a former girl scout...he's got a point
Might look like a tall child but he’s correct on the Girl Scout cookie thing
They do sell them in certain stores year round these days, I love it. Samoas are my all time favorite.
To be fair, you can buy Thin Mints, Samoas aka Caramel deLites, and Tagalongs at Walmart and Aldi. They're just packaged differently, but are made by the same manufacturers.
John is a national treasure.
From reading these comments
a) people love Girl Scout cookies.
b) it doesn’t seem that people understand what cocaine is.
