He finally goes out into the world as Mr. White and experiences all sorts of surprises....white people dont charge each other anything at retail locations, white people can get huge loans from banks with little or no credit or income, and, in perhaps the funniest stint, when there are no black people on public transportation, the bus becomes a party atmosphere with cocktails, music, and comfort women.

I am laughing just thinking about this skit. Has anyone else seen it? You usually see it every now and then on the "Best of SNL" specials.

I'm laughing as well right now. I remember it and you did a good job of describing it.

I believe someone posted a link to a youtube of that skit not too long ago.

I couldnt find it. SNL/NBC stuff doesnt seem to last long there.

If anyone can post a link to it, it would be well worth it. Just seeing his "white person walk" is worth the effort of the search.

Yeah NBC wants people to watch the videos on their own site.

Talking of stuff no longer on Youtube, did anybody ever see "2 Girls 1 Cup".

It was mentioned in an article I was reading yesterday.

Wow, really nice find. this is cool.

Unfortunately, it is edited a lot and missing several pieces, including the bank scene.

I forgot about watching Dynasty.

That was a great era for SNL.

Odd how you are convinced I want nothing more than to be elected into the Crypt, yet I've never once told anyone I wanted in or even asked how to start the process.

I bring it up from time to time to remind the excluded posters that they are excluded. People, like Venkman, deserve to know.

Secret combinations should be brought to light from time to time.

I like having Johnny Lingo around here. Y'all are right, he's cute.

When a hungry man stares down the rich man's table, it's not because he feels sorry for his friends who aren't there.
