Liberty Medical - Saturday Night Live

Despite his endorsement for the home health products, Wilford Brimley hasn't been taking very good care of himself. Aired 11/03/01

He lived to 80+ not bad for having beetus

[DemonWarp]

Christ, how have I never seen this? This is comedy gold.

[matthewterminesi]

Somehow I’ve only recently discovered this gem. The way it switches from absurdity to satire is brilliant. The writer deserves every comedy award that ever existed.

"I haven't moved fast enough to sweat except when I was making a baby. Even then, I took some much needed breaks." 🤣

[GabeStrenke]

They rarely have hosts who can do a 3min skit by themselves, but John Goodman is a legend!

[jenz]

Let’s give a hand to the real hero the horse, stay in there buddy

“I can’t stand that gobbledygook. Always seems like someone else ate it first”

[khansrevenge]

John Goodman is so underrated I have always liked him

[CreepTacular_Toonz]

I love how the audience laughs even before he says "diabeetus" at the beginning.

[shanehaney]

Wilford Brimley was a Sargeant in the Marines. At one time, he was sweating.

“I wouldn’t eat oatmeal if it was filling in a Dove Bar” Same Wilford. Same.

[Drew_D]

I think that Wilford Brimley deserved better, but I still chuckled.

[joebaumgart]

I love John Goodman. I think we all do!

[christopherhelton]

I can remember watching this with my brother and sister in the early '00s. We were all laughing until tears streamed down our faces.

[MegaMan-bsoy]

Me and my dad always quoted this when I was growing up. RIP

[frederickblackwell]

John Goodman did an awesome impression of the late Wilford Brimley and his ad of Liberty Medical on Saturday Night Live. RIP Wilford Brimley.

Oatmeal, Always seemed like somebody ate it first, BWAHAHAHAHAHA

“Now ima go get off my horse by… getting onto a smaller horse.. then onto a large dog… until I’m near enough to the ground to.. roll off.”

CTFUUUU

I will say “diabeetus” in the Wilford Brimley voice randomly over the radios that broadcast plant wide where I work. I run an overhead crane in a steel mill. It’s one of the best things seeing people laugh while I’m watching from above. It was great to see WB become an internet meme, and sort of get a resurgence in popularity before he passed away. The diabeetus meme is one of the greatest memes of all time in my opinion. It’s been relevant ever since it became a thing, and never fails to make people laugh.

He looks more like Noble Willingham aka C.D. Parker from Walker, Texas Ranger.
