Prime Minister Faces More Questions in British Parliament - Saturday Night Live

Tony Blair fields questions in Parliament. Aired 05/02/98

[DermoCFC]

Sinn Fein don't attend parliament.

[darthhideous]

Will Ferrell feels like he is channeling David Walliams in this sketch.

[Medeasbiggestfan]

The Speaker of the House of Commons does not use a gavel!

[unoriginalgoose]

The only innacuracy here is the MPs being quiet while the PM is talking

[Jesus.]

A labour MP on an opposition bench Questioning a labour pm?

[luciawillow]

Why is a labour MP sat opposite a labour PM? when was the head of the tories from belfast? and no tory northern irish man is going to call himself an irish citizen and complain about british oppression in ireland, the members who do complain about that don't take their seats in parliament becasue they don't recognise the uk government as the rightful government of northern ireland. this was so weirdly inaccurate i couldn't enjoy the deliberately silly bits properly.

[aaronwatson]

I don't think this would work on actual British people, but for the american's who don't know much about the UK, this bag of stereotypes is probably hilarious.

[edmaybe]

Gerry Adams in the Commons! Bloody hell that'll be the day!

[ilhamcahya]

The actual house of commons is way more hilarious

[HarryWe]

This was just juvenile. It could have been pulled off so much better 

[DementedDistraction]

xD
Now we need the Questions in British Parliament skit where MIchael Shersby declares his love for Oasis.

[jaypao]

I was searching Oasis's SNL performance, so how did I end up here?

[witchynerdhermit]

Matthew Broderick's Tony Blair is actually quite good.

[persilbran]

Gerry Adams never sat in Parliament. As an MP one is required to swear an oath of loyalty to the Queen, and well Gerry Adams as an Irish Republican isn't to cool with that.

[JamesTilsley]

this is so inaccurate I don't even know where to begin

[Prauwlet]

Matthew Broderick as Tony Blair was something I didn't know I needed

[DrunkenUFOPilot]

I was looking for an earlier aired skit like this, from maybe around 1990-1993 or thereabouts, the one where Clive Budgen announces "I’m still wearing ladies underwear!!" but this skit is just as funny.

[kosmischesynth]

As an Englishman, this is pretty funny. The idea that Gerry Adams would be seen in Westminster. Ha!

[PhilinoniBYTZ]

so SNL stands for 'So Not Laughing' I never knew

[DemonWarp]

The only way this could be more accurate is having the members cheer when their representative is announced
