well cocaine was legal back then but at that time day didn't call it cocaine day didn't even know it was a drug back then day called it medicine thats wat day thought it was to them and u see day talked different back n those days like we talk different n our days so yeah everyone was on cocaine back then literally

Finally someone admitting how hard it is to follow that fast "Screwball Comedy" talking! Kristen's old time accent was great and loved Zooey's "you guys are whacked" bit is such vindication to people like me who like it slower...Loved the way she parodied it and tried unsuccessfully to do it lol!
This is a specifically trait of screwball comedy (30s-40s as mentioned), not all "old" films. I personally found His Girl Friday a bit obnoxious in its exaggerated witty (and pretty abusive! :D) banter and hectic pace, even compared to other classics in the genre. Conversely, I really like Bringing Up Baby and love Arsenic and Old Lace.
@@urbaniteurbanizer1612 yep that and Barbara Stanwyck in Meet John Doe. Katherine Hepburn did that kind of talking in some movies too. Jennifer Jason Leigh did a great take on it in the Hudsucker Proxy.
"Hey boss!! We just got a call, the orphanage is on fire! Gotta get somebody down there to cover it. Do you wanna a scoop, two scoops a butterscotch even" ROFL 😂
I'm not a native English speaker but I'm seeing always snl cause I love this show. And when I started to watch this one I thought "this accent from the old movies..how they could speak so fast?" And to my surprise the skit address exactly this issue through Zoey. Loved it.
Loved Kristen Wiig’s accent and acting in this. Spot on! Amazing fast delivery of lines. LIVE! And I used to watch those classic films, and wondered if they somehow sped them up in the recording playbacks. But, seeing Kristen do it live, so fast, is so amazing. Talent!
The new audience only appreciates stupid plot, poor writing, and so called uncontrolled/ out of character laughters of one of the comedians. The comedians of course only laugh when the audience is not laughing yet because the skit is so bad.
I'm fairly certain the Bojack Horseman reporter lady was meant to evoke Katharine Hepburn and especially her character from The Philadelphia Story and His Girl Friday.
I am in love with this entire skit. I cd have watched hours of it, a whole movie or even series. It’s how I’d feel in that environment, but it’s an environment I admired in those movies! Executed to perfection except Zoe’s makeup was really smeared. How come she looked all blurred and shiny? Kristen and Jason were on point 100%.
Bobby Moynihan, Taran Killam, Jason Sudeikis, Kristen Wiig, Zoe Deshanel: I love to watch each of them acting every time. The most cast members of SNL are extraordinary, hardly possible not to love them.
I’m going to go ahead and say Zooey Deschanel is by very far one of the best SNL guests. She understood every assignment and took it seriously in true comedy. SNL get’s Hollywoods biggest A-List actors, and their skits are always pathetic all-cringe-no-laughs flops. And then you get Deschanel and her scenes are hilarious and professionally performed. Bravo!
I just watched "His Girl Friday" for the first time. Racism and gratuitous sacrifice of a secondary female character aside - - ha! - - a great film. This skit is methadone to the heroin of that film. Thanks, SNL!
Jason messed up twice ...yet you can barely tell because he is that good and...that fine! I would have messed the entire thing up and sounded like Zoey
When I first saw classic movies back in the 80’s when I was a kid, I was so impressed by how fast they spoke. I also really liked the accent. It’s transatlantic. They had to learn how to talk like that.
As someone with English as a second language, having a hearing problem and being eye-oriented I'm so proud of myself for understanding 80% of those quick exchanges 😂💕
They should've ended this with a text card that said something like, "in fact, the building was toxic. 14 years later, it was torn down for asbestos poisoning. Some people got a small insurance payout." #snl
There are totally reporters that talk like that though. I sat next to a cop reporter when I worked at a newspaper and I really just didn't get what she was saying half the time.
Kristen's accent is spot on, such a professional
Dude this is from 5 years ago...
Iris Irie ok?

We give credit to them for basic acting standards and not cracking up. Sad.
@@steveconn You should apply for a job at SNL. They obviously need the kind of tutoring only a seasoned pro like you can provide.
Jason Sudeikis and Kristen Wiig are outstanding.
Agreed. Top professional stuff here.
Taran Killam too
Yup. They bring it big time with energy and have the chops to nail the big moments.
Man I understand why you get over a thousand likes your a master of the English language you're a poet
They really know which end of a goat to look at.
totally nailed the rapid-fire dialog of the mid-century films.
"Is everyone on cocaine?" LOL!

A like for Kristen Wiig's accent 👌🏼
Shut up
Wiig is good at fast talking
It’s called transatlantic. All the actors had to learn how to speak like that.
A like for Kristin Wiig's HAT!
Man the wisdom of your words is great you deserve a thousand likes
This is what I feel like Jess's dreams are like,
lol
Who?
@@cyboman75 Jess the girl Zoey played in New girl
How did Jason and Kristen do this READING OFF OF CUECARDS?! Like their talent is phenomenal.
There are some skits that I suspect require a certain amount of memorization.
@Aaron Digby why are you yelling
@@Mowmauf
That's how he talks, haven't you seen his movies? A shark ate him.
@Aaron Digby Do us all a favour and type slower with the caps lock off.
It’s almost like they wrote it and did some sort of rehearsing a couple of times before finally performing it. Weird stuff.
Those mad typing skills got me cracking.

Glad you feel vindicated.
@@b2kzangelalwayz Thanks
I never had any problem and they left out the overlapping dialogue. Which was done to make sound even faster than it was.
@@ethelredhardrede1838 Love it. Banter is the best in those films.
Maybe you're just slow 🤷🏾♂️
I laughed so hard I cried with the typewriter- solid writing and even better acting.
I love this sketch... the quick talking, the outfits... BOBBY'S TYPING!!! Magical
Lol this is exactly what 50's movies are like
and i miss it
This is a take on His Girl Friday, a movie from 1940 starting Cary Grant and Rosalind Russel.
Actually 30's and 40s not 50s.

That was before 1903. After 1903 cocaine was eliminated from the recipe.

Transatlantic accents and velocity on point 😱
Mid-Atlantic
there's our theater queen
My mind is baffled by Kristen‘s talent... it‘s like witnessing the highest form of art. 🤯
I miss the mid-Atlantic accent.
You can buy CDs today that teach it, believe it or not. You can find the same for just about any accent, they're produced for actors.
*Transatlantic

clips like these make me miss Kristen so badly… in my opinion shes one of the best SNL ever had.
👌Those lines are hard for anyone, add doin' it live.... Amazing.
They have the 30s and 40s madcap movie accent down to a tee. Amazing.
Kristen Wiig aka excellence
yea. she pretty too
kristen wiig is the queen of snl
Undoubtedly. They've had so many great women on the show, but I think she tops the list.
"Okay straight up. Is anyone here in cocaine?"
Lol that one lost my shit
"His Girl Friday" is one my favorite movies. This is cute.
Jason messes up twice but you can’t tell. He’s amazing. He keeps going without a hitch
Twice? Thrice rater. You couldn´t tell? ;)
I honestly couldn't tell.

Reminds me of that reporter in a wedding dress from Bojack Horseman.

😂🤣🤣🤣 the guy typing absolutely murdered me
Stellar sketch. All of them really nail it. Kudos to the writers too.
Jason looks so freaking handsome... i can't evennnnnnnnnnnn!

You're in UA-cam comments, after all.
This is 1940’s “hard-boiled” perfection!
Zooey Deschanel playing Zooey Deschanel? Groundbreaking
@Jess D What? She was great in Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy... An amazing movie all around
She’s fantastic .
I love how hard they all had to work, especially Kristen, just to perfectly execute this ONE sketch. THAT'S professionalism!
kristen wiig is gold..
Oh, why I oughtta!
Well you oughta but you aren't
Kristen wig really nailed that fast talking screwball chaos from His Girl Friday
Searching the comments for this reference...!
This place is like really talk-sick.
thank you, i think i heard, this place is like really toxic
Beautiful
@@vandalam1519 You did.
Zooey is representing everyone with ADHD, and I respect that
I love how she switched from sassy to begging: I want my job back, what do you say.." Perfect timing.
I lived in NYC for a couple of years and this is still how fast some people talk. They are always just rushing.
Why you, I oughta...
Jason and Kristen. It was perfect.
Kristen is a genius, I just love her.
Kristen is so perfect here LOL "Well??"

This sketch is really really good...
Tremendously well written and performed for a live SNL sketch!
LOL. Sudeikis is really amused at Zooeys attempt at talking fast at 1:58 . She actually is very cute and charming.
Kristen could really star in those movies
So much fun to watch, over and over again...
Why is Kristen Wigg the best person ever?! I LOVE her ♡
Kristen gives me life.
BOTH are Very Talented !!
Been looking for this sketch
Zoey is sooooo charming, adorable, and funny! Jason and Christen always are the best!
Kristen!
Easily one of my favorite SNL skits.
I’m going to go ahead and say Zooey Deschanel is by very far one of the best SNL guests. She understood every assignment and took it seriously in true comedy.
SNL get’s Hollywoods biggest A-List actors, and their skits are always pathetic all-cringe-no-laughs flops.
And then you get Deschanel and her scenes are hilarious and professionally performed.

One of the best skits I’ve seen
Also the rate of Kristin’s voice is spot on! The speed and the tone! Outstanding🤩🤩🤩
I just watched "His Girl Friday" for the first time. Racism and gratuitous sacrifice of a secondary female character aside - - ha! - - a great film. This skit is methadone to the heroin of that film. Thanks, SNL!
Jason messed up twice ...yet you can barely tell because he is that good and...that fine! I would have messed the entire thing up and sounded like Zoey
wiig, what a pro!
I love the simple concept of the sketch. Nothing complicated they didn't wear out it's welcome
They do the old accents so well 😂
This is perfect
As a lover of earlier cinema and a former newspaper editor ... this had me laughing my a** off.
"Why, I oughta!"

This was funny. Well done.
That was really funny!
thats me ....when I try to watch old movies 😂😂😂😂
'yeah you could, but you won't and never will '
bruh im deadd xD
I was waiting for her to say "why are you guys talking like its the 50s?"
The 1930's thru 1940's screwball comedies.
This makes me very happy. Perfectly casted. Everyone.
Hilarious, Kristin wiig is so good, they all were
His Girl Friday- spot on.
I am Dutch and I could understand every word of it :D
Ik ook dit is gewone spraak snelheid

Kristen is absolutle perfection. About to sit down a watch His Girl Friday now. I think Kristen may have outdone Rosalind.
I believe they spoke normal back days, its the cameras and recording that makes them sound fast
There are totally reporters that talk like that though. I sat next to a cop reporter when I worked at a newspaper and I really just didn't get what she was saying half the time.
i love that trans-atlantic gibber jabber shit they just said...reminds me of lucy and desi
I am zooey deschanel in this lol,
All the old movies are like this...
Kristen Wiig is a Miracle
The transatlantic accent in Old movies sketch love it!
This skit isn't really that funny, but I watch it like twice a week.
