Buying Beer - SNL

A group of underage guys (Shia LaBeouf, Andy Samberg, Bill Hader, Will Forte) try to convince a shop clerk (Kenan Thompson) that they're over 21 in order to buy a couple cases of beer, but the clerk insists on seeing I.D. before making the sale. [Season 32, 2007]

“ I just want this ONE wallet thank you”😂😂

[SceneWins]

The fact that the clerk knew them the whole time is what makes this perfect

[eukrubm]

Plot twist: They’re telling the truth the whole time they just have really bad anxiety when it comes to buying alcohol

[Jimson]

‘Sold see you guys back at the dorm’ 😂

[TheCreedBratton]

I love how the police uniform is clearly a mechanics jacket

[average_content]

This seems like an improv bit that they polished and re-packaged into a proper sketch. It’s definitely got the “yes, and…” formula. It’s such a simple joke, but it works so well.

“Wow, 24. You look younger. But this is a valid ID. I used to work as a bouncer.” 😂😂😂😂

[NandCGaming]

24 years old and he has a 7 year old, 6 year old and a 3 year old my guy has been busy

[tenitri]

Omg the way the all huddled together nervously to pool there money 😂 all too familiar of my high school days

[VolvoImpala]

I love this so much. The way the three of them collaborate with the money- nothing screams "teenagers" more!

[Windelhelm]

Little known fact: Shia didn't have to go through make up, this was just the outfit he showed up in at the studio.

[joejoelesh]

Having been a doorman, and a bartender in a college town, can say... This isn't that far off of what some kids try and pull.

[WillBrozInc]

Poor Kenan at 3:58 going for a high five and playing it off when it wasn't returned

[neneR]

I wish that guy hadn’t stole my ID but now you know I’m 24. Hahahah 😂😂

[EwokPilot]

_I'll have your 8 dollarest bottle of wine_

[davidbow-tie]

For my money, this is the best SNL sketch of all time, because it doesn’t just regurgitate the same line over and over, but it actually evolves the situation to the point where it’s so ridiculous that you just have to laugh, like Month Python

[rustytv]

I've actually done this. I was just by myself and put on a suit at 17. Spoke in a British accent and pretended to be an international business man. When asked for my ID I was like "sure" then pretended to be surprised when I couldn't find it and claimed I left it in my luggage. Worked like a charm

[DimJongUn]

I love that this idiotic, brilliant skit has been watched 12 Million times.

[ericstaples]

Title should be: Two 30 year olds pretend they aren't old enough to buy beer.

[sottozen]

Every now and then I have to come here and rewatch this LOL
