It's 2022 and this skit is still pure gold. What a brilliant concept---pure genius.

Mentholated Eucholiptus coughdrops, my brother and I still throw that into conversations 38 yrs later, we're still laughing about that one.

I remember watching these bits back in the '80's; still as funny today as it was then.

[ikkenhisatsu]

Chris Guest was such an understated comic, but damn, he was funny.

[tzazella]

I've been saying "i hate it when that happens" since i was a little kid, now i know where it comes from!

[fistyann]

This was my favorite when I was a kid. This and Jackie Rogers, Jr's. $100, 00.00 Jackpot Wad.

I really wish they would have done a reunion skit a few years later. Pure genius skit

[BeLoud]

My friends and I still say that randomly, when some weird thing happens. And giggle. :)

[delanaveirs]

Forgot about this but so funny. Makes me think of me & my co-workers complaining about our aches & pains

[mikeygoodboi]

I forgot ALL about this one. Billy is an excellent actor.

Billy Crystal told a story that Guest improvised "the nude" and Crystal was dying inside trying to hold it together...that's why he's laughing at the end of the skit.

[jarrodbarkley]

I loved these skits. This was by far the best season of SNL.

[DeviantMotives]

Watching 2021. My brother and I use to love them

[janelliot]

1984? Wow, this is nearly 40 years old

[Toast]

After hearing Billy Crystal's story about the sketch, it makes me appreciate this sketch more. :)

[evanyasser]

Billy the night watcher: “I need room to breathe.”
Miracle Max: “That’s not what he said. He distinctly said: ‘To And as we all know ‘to blave’ means to bluff.”

[detroitMC]

This is such a weird, awkward bit but I love it for some reason.

[harveyc]

"strip down to the nude" is what got to him lol

[Sojoboscribe]

They did a music version of this one at some point (I remember it from a Dr. Demento album.)

[anniedowling]

Meat thermometer? Carrot scraper? This routine makes being in the kitchen hilarious
