This is genius! Walken's gift for comedy is stellar

These old sketches man, they are gold.

Christopher's brilliant, but Tim's reactions are priceless.

[GNZOU]

Literally just finished my British census for 2020 and YouTube recommends this to me. The algorithm is sentient.

"Boy...I really overshot it with the 80 thing, huh?" LOL...fucking dying here.

[francinejones]

He simply reads the tele prompter without even hiding it, and he’s still bloody hilarious 🤣

[manilkasheran]

The fact that he has sound logical retorts to every ridiculous thing he says is amazing!

[haimecayanan]

Walken stares like a blind person. He really killed it. 😂

[ashwinf]

I just LOVE the look Christopher gives as if you have no choice but to accept his answer

[Delluvian]

I used to work with a company called TNS Gallup, and I can confirm that there are people like this out there.

[MrMrlosteruk]

An unusual instance of a great punchline in an snl sketch. The writing on this one is all good too, makes this a fave. And Walken is perfect for this sketch 😂😂😂😂

[orangeblubber]

This dialogue is absolutely off the wall. Brilliant original script writing ✍️

[embe]

This is the funniest SNL sketch I have ever seen. Literally had tears in my eyes 2min in.

[jemster]

This is probably what pushed Caleb over the edge and started him on cannibalism.

[littleMsWilmie]

I love how they kept straight face over this hilarious skit 😂

[ryanhunt]

Actual footage of Christopher Walken filling out a census

[michelez]

Tim Meadows is the star here. How did he keep a straight face, never mind the puzzled expression.

[kjamison]

I cannot think of anyone else who could pull that off except Chris Walken.

When these episodes were in live in old days at that point of time probably those who were of age 5 to 14 will always consider these sketches as a reminder of their childhood ...i always connect with these 80 90 sketches as my childhood memories ...god what a brilliant cast crew ..will keep watchin these episode for rest of my life
