The antennae "bouncing" around all over the place while serious speeches are being made just killed me! This is hilarious!!

[sapphirewyren]

'he's probably back there right now - firing his own father" that line killed for me. love it

[BrendanJSmith]

It really is amazing how this sketch just keeps GOING! It’s like it wasn’t even scripted and they just kept the cameras rolling!

[anstef]

That was fantastic! The ridiculous costumes, breaking the barrier, the antennas, the song... this sketch had it all!!!

[picklesthewise]

The camera bit and everything after in the booth was absolutely hilarious. That kind of stuff is what elevates a sketch.

I saw this skit on SNL on the first season of the show back in 1975 . We were all young then & the world held great promise for our generation .. Rest in peace John & Gilda we miss you guys.

[Tishers]

I like how this skit was going one way and then VOOM! Off in a completely different direction.

[stanksalvala]

One of my favorite things from early SNL is how they start one of their go-to sketches with something completely unrelated, and even if you should see what's coming, it's quick enough that you it doesn't necessarily click before the big entrance. This one gets me in such a big way.

That fourth-wall break starting in the middle of this sketch is not only brilliant, but also SO convincing. I seriously thought this was a real mistake that happened, since this is a live show after all, but I relaxed when they showed the director and it got a little sillier from there. The cast of today would NEVER be able to pull off this stunt.

[MegandRob]

This is why I watch the old stuff..sooo funny miss Gilda
So much.

(They say they're overweight...) "TURN THE RADIO OFF!!!"

[MrBelmont]

I am of Mexican heritage and I find this hilarious and I don’t feel offended at all. I love to hear jokes and people making fun of their backgrounds. There are a thousand worst things to be offended at.

Hilarious Sandy Duncan Viewmaster commercial on the radio at the very beginning overshadowed by everything else in this skit.

[punchmo]

Love how they started with a Viewmaster commercial starring Sandy Duncan. Don’t know how many people these days would get that.

I heard about this skit a bunch of times as a kid, never had a clue that the big joke was the 4th wall break and camera problems. It was way better than I expected.

4:20 Garrett Morris trying to tell the cameraman to move to Gould, ha ha ha!

[lynnwest]

LOL the guy in the yellow shirt sitting down could not stop laughing

[razony]

"No, no Taco head. " It finally makes sense.

I was age 13 when SNL premiered. I watched every episode up through to 1990. The cast had changed during those decades, but the skits were so hilarious. When I was 14, I had a crush on Dan Aykroyd.

I read that Belushi hated this bit, especially the antennae gag … but it left the rest of us in hysterics 😂
