It's clever that the color tones are those of a *faded* cookbook, magazine, etc, which is how most viewers would have experienced them. I esp like the beige orange juice!
That comes from those older cheap film stocks not being able to register the color green. Color film normally registers color in terms of red, green, and blue light and all of the colors exist in that spectrum between the 3. Older, cheaper film from the 50s was often 2 strip meaning it can only register the red and blue values so you’re missing 1/3rd of the color information necessary so you get that washed out, distorted red and blue look
Funny ... but, I remember as a child in the 1960s, coming across my mother's "party notes", written in the 50s, and stashed in a recipe book. They included relatively benign tips like, "the room should be slightly cool as it will become warmer when guests arrive" and "be sure and time your recipes so that everything is ready right before the guests arrrive," but also the more disturbing: "don't talk too much about yourself and what you are doing or are interested in -- let John [my father] have the spotlight and be sure to nod and smile when he talks." I am not kidding. Oh, by the way, my parents divorced in the 1970s ...
The 50s energy here is so perfect for horror. Racist, classist, misogynistic, homophobic, alcoholic, and ultimately nihilistic, but so darn jolly and bright about it 😂
JohnQRandom that's cool but also have you read the feminine mystique cos it is written in 1963 literally about the 1950's lifestyle and how it was more sexist than 1920's and why this was. Seriously, try finding a copy, you never know what you will think of it.

My mom was a wife in the late 40's & 50's - I forwarded her this one article that was going around from the 50's that was about how to greet your man when he gets home and "don't bother him with your feelings or troubles, he's more important" - she said it really was like that. No wonder we're all so messed up now.
It was NOT LIKE THAT. My parents smoke MJ at parties with black friends and she was the boss around the house when she wasnt out working. this is a lie
@@MrJenniferwahl8 it doesn't mean it's a lie. It means our mom's had different experiences and may have also lived in different parts of the country, or that your parents were just more open minded for their time.
And it's such a trap, too. Like, mix lime Jello and mayonnaise. Stir in caned ham and cocktail olives. Eat it, and then... _don't_ have diarrhea? Did I get that last part right? Seems a little bit impossible.

That's the joke. The society in the modern American 50s, or in England were often "child like behaviour" because most facts were based by racist sexists who just wanted to remain power
She's so good at acting Im rewatching this again and again. So funny but somehow feels that this character's life is miserable and empty inside. And her voice ❤️ and this little "life is truly grant" thing
Or someone who just really loves the aesthetic. I mean, in terms of fashion/movies/music it was a pretty good time, but it would have sucked for anyone who remotely diverged from the norm.

I partly learned to cook from vintage cookbooks...While the 50's and 60's had a lot of fun food trends, these cocktail snacks are horrifyingly spot on for the era. If you aren't familiar with it, the savory Jell-O is called an "Aspic". If you want to be horrified, just think of any food (celery, beef, egg, peas, chicken, shrimp, hot dogs) and search for that word followed by Aspic. The horror!
I actually made aspic back when I was in Advanced Culinary classes at Job Corps. Why did I do this? Because it was on the list of lessons I had to learn in order to get my certificate of completion. Did I eat any of it? Hell no.
If aspic is done properly, it is good. I remember eating that a few times in France when I was a kid, but it did not have that brown look, it was clearer. I like this dish personally. You can still find those in delis in France.
@@gaellegoutain1286 oh, French aspics are another thing! (As a French Canadian, we have one or two very countrified and simple versions) I would not enjoy some of those, but many are delicious, and they're quite different. For one, the gelatin base is usually made from scratch. But I was talking about the aspics in mid 20th century American cookbooks. They are....wow. Vivid and colorful, usually nice to look at. Sometimes bewildering. For example, there is OFTEN bright green instant lime jello involved....imagine sliced celery, canned meat or shrimp, green olives, grapes, raw carrot slices and hard boiled eggs...set in artificially flavored lime green jello, and served covered in mayonnaise. Or (this is a real recipe!) lime jell-O, full of shredded mint, and pineapple bits, suggested as a nice complement to a steak dinner. (I'm so puzzled by that one. Surely, at best, it would go with chicken or lamb? And how did they even get the jell-O to set with pineapple in it, which is usually not possible?) The Jell-O company made a big push, during the late 50s and 60s, to branch out and get their product into as many potential courses of a meal as possible....and they put out a lot of cookbooks and "helpful hints" and it became a trend for years. Lime jell-O was recommended so often that I can't help but wonder if it was underselling? The dishes looked beautiful, but only some of them sound good. A good friend, for fun, once made a affordable-but-elegant "hot dog aspic" for a potluck, with one do this vintage recipes...🤣
Why pay all that money when you could just get a lobotomy! A creepy psychiatrist who is out of breath from running to your house so the surgeon he's legally supposed to have with him can't catch up, will fish an ice pick out of your kitchen, and *tink tink tink* you're a 3 year old mentally forever!
The ones who either felt like this was their fate or had their dreams of equality crushed by wrongful, excessive shock therapy. The ones who didn't were pretty much outsiders who tried to made their voices heard throughout the 50s and into the 60s.

As an Italian person, the two arms length of ethnic distance joke was so true. My friends always know to give me a little more distance because I’ gonna talk with my hands
As a gen x'er I can say the eisenhower era was strikingly similar to the Reagan era. I vividly recall my brother and I being paraded through parties just like this.
If you look at "The Secret of Nimh", (the movie) she is ONLY addressed as "Mrs. Johnathan Brisby". She even introduces herself that way multiple times. And the book came out in the 70s. Sometimes it takes a long time for these changes to go through.

But I was talking about the aspics in mid 20th century American cookbooks.
They are....wow.
Vivid and colorful, usually nice to look at.
Sometimes bewildering.
For example, there is OFTEN bright green instant lime jello involved....imagine sliced celery, canned meat or shrimp, green olives, grapes, raw carrot slices and hard boiled eggs...set in artificially flavored lime green jello,
and served covered in mayonnaise.
Or (this is a real recipe!)
lime jell-O, full of shredded mint, and pineapple bits, suggested as a nice complement to a steak dinner.
(I'm so puzzled by that one. Surely, at best, it would go with chicken or lamb? And how did they even get the jell-O to set with pineapple in it, which is usually not possible?)
The Jell-O company made a big push, during the late 50s and 60s, to branch out and get their product into as many potential courses of a meal as possible....and they put out a lot of cookbooks and "helpful hints" and it became a trend for years. Lime jell-O was recommended so often that I can't help but wonder if it was underselling?
The dishes looked beautiful, but only some of them sound good.
A good friend, for fun, once made a affordable-but-elegant "hot dog aspic" for a potluck, with one do this vintage recipes...🤣
@@melissasaint3283 Oh yes, when Jell-o is involved, I am not so keen to taste!
My favorite part is the “dash of gin”.
1:57 I wanna hear the humorous story 😂😂😭
I wish snl would do more dark humor skits like this
2 arms of Ethnic DISTANCE! !!
I love how she has two completely different sets of dry storage canisters on her counter, and each set has a designated coffee canister.
“Two arms length of ethnic distance...” 😂🤣
Last part in her "to do" list is shock therapy😂 Wonder why...
2:18 the waistline on January Jones, are you SURE she's not an alien or advanced cybernetic killer from the future?
Truly! I noticed it immediately!
Sentient sex doll maybe?
Ok can we say the cat is just magnificent ?!
0:26 shock therapy! 😂😂 I'd need that too if I was a 1950s housewife.
Why pay all that money when you could just get a lobotomy! A creepy psychiatrist who is out of breath from running to your house so the surgeon he's legally supposed to have with him can't catch up, will fish an ice pick out of your kitchen, and *tink tink tink* you're a 3 year old mentally forever!
And this is why a lot of women of this generation smoked and drank. I met a lot of them
The ones who either felt like this was their fate or had their dreams of equality crushed by wrongful, excessive shock therapy. The ones who didn't were pretty much outsiders who tried to made their voices heard throughout the 50s and into the 60s.
Drs. handed out valium like candy
Also the fact that they didn’t know just how bad drinking and smoking every day was
@@lexiright5609 Everyone knew how bad drinking was, smoking not at all. It was glamorous.
@@incisivecommenter5974 No they didn’t know how bad it was, sure they knew it wasn’t extremely healthy but people didn’t know the effects of smoking on the lungs or drinking of the liver in this time period. This continues right up until about the 90s
"and a dash of gin!"
Punch: **is 99.9% gin**
Crown was an actual 1950's instructional short film maker. And honestly, they weren't super far removed from this.
Coronet but yes.
I think Hader’s voice would have really suited a part in this sketch.
Indeed
The “back to bed until your next party” and diarrhea lines made me spit out my lunch. Wonder who wrote this one.
No one could deliver that skit better than January Jones
Just very well done I'm surprised how well this is the satire works she is amazing
The funny part is that I've actually watched old tutorials like these on UA-cam....they were hilarious too.
And completely heartbreaking, especially if you were alive for the originals...
Why is nobody speaking about the "shock therapy" topic?
FINALLY!!!
@Miranda Blair TALK about it?! Haha - can you just imagine?! My heavens, what if the neighbors found out... No, no, no Miranda - we shan’t be talking, not even to each other, about mother’s little “visits to the eye doctor”...
@@f123raptor 😂😂
I dont get it
Theres no therapy shock
Being one of the few humans on the planet who never saw Mad Men, I had no idea who the actress was here but I loved her delivery. Now I am a January Jones fan...
I love January Jones does comedy, she is hilarious
Smart, witty, ironic and on spot.
Should I laugh at “on spot” or should I call DHS?
As an Italian person, the two arms length of ethnic distance joke was so true. My friends always know to give me a little more distance because I’ gonna talk with my hands
"Cats are girls and dogs are boys"😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
As a gay man, I sometimes feel I missed my calling, to be a 1950s-60s housewife.
This is in my top 5 SNL sketches, note-perfect
As a gen x'er I can say the eisenhower era was strikingly similar to the Reagan era. I vividly recall my brother and I being paraded through parties just like this.
As an Italian, I can confirm that we do, indeed, talk with our hands (in a most ethnic manner) LOL
"...two arms length of ethnic distance..." I'm an introverted Italian-American; give me at least four arm lengths.
Hah 😂
My Favorite SNL Sketch 😂❤
"greet a women by her husbands name or not at all"
If you look at "The Secret of Nimh", (the movie) she is ONLY addressed as "Mrs. Johnathan Brisby". She even introduces herself that way multiple times. And the book came out in the 70s. Sometimes it takes a long time for these changes to go through.
