I just rewatched this and I feel like Adam was just messing with Pete "look upon your father". He saw Pete breaking already and just went in for the kill.
I SEE YOU, MAN!!!
100% had the same thought right away
Which fits in with what that character would do.
This skit really illustrates the difference in skill between Adam and Pete. Driver is giving everything he has to this skit and totally killing it. Meanwhile, Davidson can’t go a minute without breaking character
@@breezingby2611 okay
i just love that pete is fucking DYING the entire time
me too lololol
Adam Driver was probably like I’m gonna rant and pick on you a little and then pulled out this gem of a performance 😂
@Tut Pook you are useless atleast he is doing what he loves so shut up nigga
He broke the moment Adam opened that door.
It was awesome.
Davidson sucks. And if you think he’s funny you must be dead from the neck up or weak like H.R. Pickens.
This sketch was written by Eli Mandel. It was the first sketch he submitted after being hired as a writer for SNL. He based the character on an "old man" character he used to play during improv sessions in Chicago. Interestingly, he said he thought the script was terrible, and that SNL would instantly reject it. But some of the other writers thought it was funny. Mandel said that it was ultimately Adam Driver's brilliant performance that made the sketch.
Does he still write for SNL?
@@chadross No. Just the 2018-2019 season.
@@apologeticsroadshow they definitely will have to bring him back when Adam hosts again.
This is incredible. How did you know all this? Bravo to the writer and bravo to Adam Driver.
@@sketchur The writer talked about it during an interview after this sketch blew up.
“Look at me boooyyy!” 😂😂😂
"I see you, man." 😂
You are weak like HR Pickens!
Kratos be like
I say this daily
“Look at him Mordecai!”
😂😂
“LoOk aT YOuR faThEr BOy¡!” Pete Davison almost loses it.
I love how he can't literally look him in the eye because it makes him break character.
@@TenaciousTheSketcher the way he says "I see you man" sounds like he's begging Adam not to require eye contact lol i love it
That part makes me loose it 🤣
I fucking lost it when he said that 🤣🤣🤣
you boyi.
This was just 5 full minutes of Adam trying to break Pete and flexing his acting skills *hard*
Mission accomplished!
What are you talking about, he’s barely trying
I was literally just thinking that! He made him break so many times.
But it doesn't take long to break Pete Davidson.
@@BlitzStudiosIsinsideyourhome I think Adam became the costume he was wearing. Its honestly quite impressive.
"AND SO YOU SHALL!" Never fails to make me laugh
You and me both bro you and me both as I’m laughing out loud typing this
It's nice to get words of encouragement from someone you hope to emulate, especially on Career Day.
BASED
Either Adam Driver is a fantastic actor, or deep in his heart, Adam Driver is an oil Baron in his soul.
Yes
Two things can be true at once.
Pete Davidson: *Breaks*
Adam Driver: *So you have chosen death*
Well the makeup does make him resemble Shakespeare..........
Pete is very unprofessional. Breaking in this skit could kill it. Thankfully Adam is professional. This is one of my favorite SNL skits off all time and Pete looked like a hack.
Dan Vaught geeee I can only wonder how long you’ve been watching SnL for, cuz if you stop throwing Baseless Criticism at Pete, then you would see throughout Snl history plenting of the cast has broken their character Mid skit 😒 and continued as Pete did, girl next to Pete broke character as well but you don’t come at her, I want to see you up there, trying to get through a skit with Adam effing Driver....
@@daddyrabbit835 Pete constantly admits in interviews he's not a good actor at all. It was weird to have the polar opposite in his face.
Your comment amuses me boy. However, laughter is for the weak. Like H. R . Pickens you are weak.
man Adam Driver brings his acting game no matter what.
I would agree, but he never emotes with his eyes...EVER. They are constantly frozen in place.
You mean in this scene? Bcz you could see the pain in his eyes in the SW movies clearly. Here I think he is reading his lines from cue. His eyes are fixed off to the side rather than at the other people. So while his performance is amazingly funny I don't think he's actually putting alot of effort into it.
No I don’t think it was cue reading since he killed Pete at the start
@@intheredcold9216 Yeah, if anyone doubts whether Driver emotes with his eyes, they should watch the Han/Kylo Ren scene in The Force Awakens. But I actually think he was staring off because he was trying not to break character. Others in the skit were constantly trying to stifle laughs/smiles and it's pretty hard not to laugh when others are laughing. Based off the reactions, I'm pretty sure that smashing the crow with his cane was improvised, so I think he was putting in at least some effort.
@@intheredcold9216 They change the lines right up to air. It would be nearly impossible for him to memorize everything in that time period. He is putting a lot of effort into this.
So Mordecai is the descendant of H.R. Pickens. But Mordecai is also the weakest in his class, sullying the Parnassus bloodline. Looks like it was H.R. Pickens who got the final revenge. Great lore.
damn
Nahhh, all Mordecai needs to do is have the strong will of his father, and he will be worthy.
who is H.R. Pickens?
@@arthaiser EXACTLY
@@MalcrowAlogoran😂
"Now your bones turn to oil beneath my living feet!"
This is my favorite line Adam Driver ever said.
I feel like "filled her belly with my festering seed" takes the top spot for the sheer wtf factor
No one has ever acted this hard on snl before.
What about the emboldened white lady in the "Impossible Hulk" skit? 😂😂😂
Papyrus!!! ua-cam.com/video/jVhlJNJopOQ/v-deo.html
@@BurritoKingdom Cecily Strong was on a talk show (Seth Meyers, I think) and talked about how Ryan was literally shaking in bed next to her before they were filming just to get into character.
They never had to LMAO
Benedict Cumberbatch in the Chad and the professor skit was pretty iconic
I’m like 90% sure Mr Parnasis is Kylo ren
It is
You Lyin
I heard Abraham Parnassus has an 8 pack. That he’s shredded.
Mr Parnassus straight up sucks!
“Nobody ever really dies"
"I wanna be you when I grow up!"
"AND SO YOU SHALL!!!!"
LMAO
"Aw, sick!"
"My bones never hardened but my spirit did." 🤣
Life's motto of 2023.
Always dusts me😭😭😭😭
Adam Driver should have gotten an Emmy for this performance.
While Pete Davidson does his best to ruin another sketch.
@@jackiecartwright9343 I mean I know what you mean but I would crack like an egg if Adam Driver yelled at me like that in my face 😂
@@jackiecartwright9343 Pete is hilarious you’re tripping
IF ONLY
Maybe that's why they hired him to do the sequel trilogy.
“I was born 7 months too early” was when I completely lost it
Lmao!!
"when I was rrrrripe enough" that got me good
I didn't even think about how early that was when I first watched the video. It didn't occur to me until I saw your comment. Looking up an image of a 2-month old fetus makes this all the funnier to imagine him being born like _that_ and surviving in a cast iron pot in a pizza oven.
That's an abortion not a birth. But he lived regardless because he was destined to crush H.R Pickins into the ground!
@@sarahdaniel9912 And marry his granddaughter, also fill her with his festering seed
Adam Driver has been the best SNL guest. He kills it every skit.
He’s an incredible actor, and he commits 100% to every single sketch. He’s an absolute gem of a host, and there aren’t many hosts at his caliber who don’t come from a comedy background
I never tire of watching this sketch. I just realised Abraham H. Parnassus says he has been an oil man for 82 years. That means, factoring in that he started at a young age but still a man, he is over 100 years old with an elementary aged child! He's a boss!
It was high school but yes he's old
Let’s not forget he was 2 months when he was born 😂😂😂😂
@@TheInnerPactthat part kills me.
Jesus crist talk about carrying an entire sketch. Wow.
talk about carrying entire movies. trilogies. sagas. shows. the planet earth. adam driver does it all.
First the sequels now snl, whats next
My first child
Bruh
@@claytonduckett7571 ADAM DRIVER STREAMING NET FLIX 24/7
“Married your granddaughter and filled her belly with my festering seed” I lost it at that point 🤣
🤮
I laugh just re-reading the line.... LOL...
Me too! I was like wow, this shit is intense! lol
He is my final revenge HR ! 😂
I fucking hate myself for finding that last part hot 😭😭😭
Its almost scary how well Adam Driver can tell and carry a dramatic story on a live sketch comedy show.
I just love rewinding and rewatching each individuals reaction to the bird stabbing, it’s priceless no matter how many times I watch it 😂
I never thought of that. Literally everyone was either breaking or appalled.
@@manaze85I don’t think stabbing the bird was part of the script which is why everyone is so shocked but that makes it 1000x funnier
Facts. Pete said it was Improvised
Melissa (Samantha) rolled with it perfectly. Honestly so impressed by her.
Same. That's right up there with Chris Farley flopping on the coffee table in front of Christina Applegate. I did the same thing with that sketch: nobody expected that!
Can't believe my ancestor just got called out like that
Who?
@@naughtyreverend EXACTLY!
Lord Jagi HR Pickens. You must be weak like him
😂
look mortichai! im Pickens riiiiiiiick!
I don't think Melissa was even acting. She was genuinely enjoying herself.
That's exactly what makes her such a good actress.
Meryl Streep wouldn't act in this skit lmao it's almost impossible not to be delighted
@@hellowendy1029 Yes👍👍
Or is Melissa's acting so good, that she makes it look like she's not acting, and just genuinely enjoying herself? LOL
She does UA-cam videos every week we should ask her.
Still laughing as hard as I did the day it aired… NEVER gets old. Adam did not break character… brilliant
This easily goes in my SNL top ten, I love Adam Driver's delivery so much! "I filled her belly with my festering seed and sired a boy" always gets me in stitches.
"You are weak like H R Pickens"
"Who is H R Pickens?"
"EXACTLY"
Who is John Galt? I'm guessing this was inspired by Atlas Shrugged and There Will Be Blood.
It definitely made me think of There Will Be Blood. Man, the main character in that movie was such a horrible person. I'm now always going to imagine Rex Tillerson being just like this when the cameras aren't on.
@@LAkadian I think you're right. I guess Atlas Shrugged painted wealthy industrialists is a heroic light, but for some reason I always thought There Will Be Blood was inspired as a kind of anti-Ayn Rand horror...I could be projecting my own experiences on things.
@@somethingelse4424 Ha. Idk. Could be similar with me (goth guy here who used to hang out with all the punk anarchists and go to seedy hole in the wall concert venues)... but I do imagine there was some truth in it. I was a lover of Michael Moore's "Capitalism: A Love Story".
Never saw Atlas Shrugged, but was aware of it. May have to watch it out of curiosity now that it's been mentioned again... Oh and if you've never heard of Edward Bernays, there was a super creepy lecture he gave about the U.S. educational system. Don't want to spoil it, but worth a listen.
Whats the girls name that asks I can't remember what else she's in besides snl
I started CRYING when he was explaining his incubation process 😭😂😂😂
It was in its infancy.
rrrrrrRiiiiiipe
That’s when I started laughing the hardest too lol
Mind over Flesh!
His bones never hardened but his spirit did!
You honestly can’t blame Pete for nearly breaking, I would’ve passed out halfway through the sketch 😂😂
‘Nearly’? He was done from the second Adam opened his mouth
Adam Driver deserved an Emmy for this
His delivery of the line "Filled her belly with my festering seed" alone should have gotten him an EGOT (yes, I know that Tony awards are for theater and Grammy's are for music, I don't care).
Hell yeah.
I agree
He crushes his Emmys beneath his feet!
"OIL IS NOT FOR THE WEAK..... it is the earths milk..." Shit is fuckin poetic.
"And only the strong may suckle at Mother's teat"
Why is your World of Warcraft UI your profile picture, smelly horde warlock.
"And only the strongest may suckle at mother's teet."
Even more poetic.
The 1000th thumbs up woot 👍 😂
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Random country: *Finds Oil*
USA: “Oil is not for the weak”
It is the earth's milk and only the strongest can suckle at mother's teat
America: CRUSH YOUR ENEMIES INTO THE DUST!!!
@@Klaaism
America: One government came close to beating me, The British Empire. They did not succeed.
Student: Great Britain had an empire?
America: EXACTLY
If you knew anything about history, you'd understand that taking oil is a European tradition (just look at Iran). The US is a net exporter of oil, what would be the need for getting it elsewhere?
honestly one of the better career talks i have seen
Nah, it doesn't include living down by the river in the van.
I like how every time Abraham H. Parnassus speaks a Leitmotif stats to play for him 😂😂😂😂
I want to see Adam Driver reprise his role as Abraham H. Parnassus but this time he's a chaperone for Mordecai's class field trip to (insert location)
Omg that would be amazing!
@@ieatgrass_8360 pete Davidson
@@lysolflavoredpoptarts Or to a natural history museum where they see dinosaur bones and then goes on a rant about being weak and how they sorta make oil lol.
Yes!!!
Or a chaperone at a school dance
The fact that he never broke character once while screaming some of the most hilarious and outrageous sentences I've ever heard just proves how great of an actor he is.
And while everyone else was.
TOTALLY. My respect level for him just shot up more points. Incredible!
Pete could hardly keep it together
@@joshhunter8789 he can never keep it together.
best snl skit ever
I tell my son “ look at your father boy…” all the time the lil “gave upon your father with pride” just kills me
😂😂😂
I think Adam Driver puts 100% into every acting role..👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
When he stabbed the fake bird EVERYBODY broke character. That was friggen perfect!
Watson TV Except Driver.
Aidy and Pete sure! lol. But I think that getting surprised at the fake bird getting stabbed was part of being in character. I’d be shocked, too, if I was up close watching it get beaten up.
You can tell he didn’t do it in dress rehearsals, he waited to go live
@@kylekiritz2672 I'm wondering if it was even scripted. If they planned for it, they would have made the end of the cane sharp to pierce the prop easier, but it just looks like a normal cane. I wonder if he was backstage before he went on, felt the prop, and just thought "I could probably stab this thing with the cane".
Melissa seemed to be in character by jumping with each strike, others harder to tell.
I want a full movie about this character with Adam Driver as the star.
I'm surprised that SNL doesn't make movies based on their skits anymore.
10/10 would watch.. I need full backstory on that H. R. Pickens vengence.
There Will Be Blood 2: Pernassis vs Plainview
Ryan Vaughn He could be the one who changes it.
a longer sketch with hr pickings
My father is exactly like this (not that old) so much so that his students saw this and showed it to him after it aired years ago. I came back to rewatch it four years later, and I still have tears in my eyes.
Lmao frenemies
I watch this sketch over and over! They need to bring him back every time Adam hosts. His personality needs to play out in different scenarios.
So many potential options. Parent/Teacher night, chaperoning a school dance, his son's little league game, guest speaker at graduation...

He crushed General Hux.
@@betulceyhan8519 And then he married Palpatine's granddaughter, filled her belly with his festering seed and sired a boy!

Ahahahaha
Omg 😂😂
shut up XDDD
One of those sketches that keeps on getting better... Everytime you watch it... Pure gold, just pure gold.
Davidson was pleading mercy with "I see you man!"
Samantha: “Who is H.R. Pickens?”
Mordecai’s Dad: *”EXACTLY!”*
This skit is a classic. It never gets old!
That makes H.R. Pickens Mordacai's great grandfather on his mom's side.
His commitment to the character instantly made this one of the best skits of all time. The script was good but Driver went all Olivier on us and even the cast couldn’t help but breaking a few times.
@@nontoonz2739 Mordecai... the product of Abraham's festering seed!
Ive watched this every Monday for two years.
I didn't figure out this joke.
This may be the most passionate performance from any skit in SNL history.
just a rework of "i drink your milk shake". another remix sketch. its like a theme this episode.
It's based on the movie "There Will Be Blood".
puke
The Shrek skit is still my favorite.
Nope. Every skit Chris Farley was in.
This is still the greatest performance in live sketch comedy history. We need a film trilogy
The single best performance by a host ever!
My Dad is a professor at two different colleges, he's never let me see him teach but I've always imagined he does it something like this lol
Barbie Gee Show this to your dad❗️
YOU ARE WEAK LIKE HR PICKENS!
Exactly like that lol
My parents are both professors in aerospace engineering (rocket science) and I imagine they probably teach similarly
Hey Dr.Person how do you make a rocket?
YOU CRUSH YOUR ENEMIES IN TO THE GROUND
What if I don't know how to do that?
Then you are WEAK like HR PICKENS WAS and you are not fit to physicist like me
...brings in a bunch of guest speakers?
This is the only SNL skit that matters.
Lol hell no. There are better ones than this.
You must have missed like EVERY Californians sketch ever...
Stefon as well!!
@@ted6607 Don't be H.R. Pickens.
Hey what about the Bill Hader puppet skit.
This skit has me in TEARS from laughing so hard! The yelling when talking about crushing his enemies, the stab on the bird with the cane, the fact Pete couldn't even look at him without cracking a smile, "I wanna be you when I grow up!" "AND SO YOU SHALL!!!!!!", there's just so much to laugh at in a short time. This is one of those rare skits that gets even funnier with each re-watch
This is a man who knows that everyday is a job interview. His character work is awesome.
New way to diss someone: “You are weak like H.R. Pickens.”

Hahahaha yas!!
Abraham is gonna cut Mordecai out of his will and leave everything to Samantha.
Ultimate revenge to HR PiCkEnS
nolaughingmatter no no his revenge was having mordecai with the granddaughter of H. R. Pickens
She'll marry the guy, break his spirit til he will barely even have an opinion, and keep her FIL's legacy strong!
Alessandro Paolino honestly down with it Samantha will marry Mordecai have a child with him and break his spirit and Abraham’s legacy and fortune will be hers. Just to find out that she is related to HR PICKENS AND THIS WAS HIS ULTIMATE REVENGE!!! (A lil incesty but all in a days work to get revenge 🤷🏽♀️) also if my scenario wasn’t true Mordecai and Samantha are a true ship.
Mordecai will sell pizzas, and the circle will be complete

It would have been better if he, after impaling the bird with the stick, raised it up and started addressing it as HR Pickens rather than trying to stab it again....just sayin'....
@@pdxtim97209 That would have been so funny! Agreed. 😂 🤣
So funny.
HR Pickens😂
I'm convinced that Adam piercing the dead bird with his walking stick was not on script, just based on the startled reactions of both Pete, Aidy and Melissa lol
Marine instinct.
It was part of the script that he was supposed to crush the bird with his cane but he used so much force when he did it that he completely impaled it.
That was fantastic
Cause Lorne hates improvisation according to some

"..and in my opinion, that's how you make the fire go away."
why is this glanced over
Because adam driver
Adam Driver came in and completely dominated everyone in the entire skit, so people forget that the opening line is funny too. lol
becuase hot man comes in dressed as old man and does good acting
It is glaced over in favor of "I WILL CRUSH YOU INTO THE GROUND!"
Lol I heard that and was like uuuh
Literally EVERY time I watch this I end up crying from laughing so hard! It never gets old!😂
unlike abraham h pernassus

What I love is that Adam Driver is saying some of the most insanely funny things ever and he never breaks or loses intensity once. It’s just so funny how he can keep it up with how funny this sketch is.
and pete is just losing it
@IAmaPersion to be fair to Pete, he has said many times that he's not a great actor. He never wanted to be one, he wanted to be a stand up comedian. He's good in the digital shorts which aren't live.
IAmaPersion he is hilarious what kinda drugs are u on
Pete on the other hand INSTANTLY broke xD
He's a marine. You learn to keep your facade real quick there.
I watch this at least once a day 🔥
Hats off to you Adam Driver. This performance is beyond
Id loved hear how this was pitched.
“So career day but the dad is a 90 year old 19th century oil baron”
Brian Rommel”Look upon me Lorne Michaels...you may have been here since 1975, but I was crushing the bones of enemies when your parents were merely learning their first *words* !”
Hehe I love to think about a lot of the sketches.
2ndRatePetronius can you provide a link, because that sounds like a great read.
**leans forward curiously**
He said 82 years in the business, so probably even older, lol
I won’t get over the fact that puncturing the crow was never a part of the script and that Adam perfectly improvised that scene.... their reactions are priceless!
It was obviously not scripted, but that's what Julliard teaches you, save a surprise for the performance. It makes for a more authentic reaction. 😻 They should be proud. I would have loved to see the cast's reactions at the first table read.
@@necromaya agreed

As it should be. She's not weak like H.R. Pickens
What is so special about Samantha?
@@jasongoldman3850 She clearly was interested and in awe of Abraham from the start.

I didn't know I wanted that aslo, until just now. I do NOT want to be weak like H.R. Pickens.
They need to make a list of Hosts that made cast members break yet remained in character. Adam Driver is way up on the list.
“Look at me, boy.
Look at your father.
LOOK AT ME!”
Lmao
This was such a fully formed character- I want an origin story
THE RISE OF THE PARNASSUS
It’s based off of a character/the story in There Will Be Blood.
We got the origin story... he was born 7 months too early, so he was incubated in a cast-iron pot in an oven until such time as he was able to fend for himself. What more do you need?
Watch the movie its brilliant.
I literally laughed out loud thank you
