I just rewatched this and I feel like Adam was just messing with Pete "look upon your father". He saw Pete breaking already and just went in for the kill.
I SEE YOU, MAN!!!
100% had the same thought right away
Which fits in with what that character would do.
This skit really illustrates the difference in skill between Adam and Pete. Driver is giving everything he has to this skit and totally killing it. Meanwhile, Davidson can’t go a minute without breaking character
@@breezingby2611 okay
No one has ever acted this hard on snl before.
What about the emboldened white lady in the "Impossible Hulk" skit? 😂😂😂
Papyrus!!! kzhead.info/sun/nbqhnK6GgaGmgok/bejne.html
@@BurritoKingdom Cecily Strong was on a talk show (Seth Meyers, I think) and talked about how Ryan was literally shaking in bed next to her before they were filming just to get into character.
They never had to LMAO
Benedict Cumberbatch in the Chad and the professor skit was pretty iconic
This sketch was written by Eli Mandel. It was the first sketch he submitted after being hired as a writer for SNL. He based the character on an "old man" character he used to play during improv sessions in Chicago. Interestingly, he said he thought the script was terrible, and that SNL would instantly reject it. But some of the other writers thought it was funny. Mandel said that it was ultimately Adam Driver's brilliant performance that made the sketch.
Does he still write for SNL?
@@chadross No. Just the 2018-2019 season.
@@apologeticsroadshow they definitely will have to bring him back when Adam hosts again.
This is incredible. How did you know all this? Bravo to the writer and bravo to Adam Driver.
@@sketchur The writer talked about it during an interview after this sketch blew up.
Either Adam Driver is a fantastic actor, or deep in his heart, Adam Driver is an oil Baron in his soul.
Yes
Two things can be true at once.
“LoOk aT YOuR faThEr BOy¡!” Pete Davison almost loses it.
I love how he can't literally look him in the eye because it makes him break character.
@@TenaciousTheSketcher the way he says "I see you man" sounds like he's begging Adam not to require eye contact lol i love it
That part makes me loose it 🤣
I fucking lost it when he said that 🤣🤣🤣
you boyi.
This was just 5 full minutes of Adam trying to break Pete and flexing his acting skills *hard*
Mission accomplished!
What are you talking about, he’s barely trying
I was literally just thinking that! He made him break so many times.
But it doesn't take long to break Pete Davidson.
@@BlitzStudiosIsinsideyourhome I think Adam became the costume he was wearing. Its honestly quite impressive.
"AND SO YOU SHALL!" Never fails to make me laugh
You and me both bro you and me both as I’m laughing out loud typing this
It's nice to get words of encouragement from someone you hope to emulate, especially on Career Day.
BASED
"Now your bones turn to oil beneath my living feet!" This is my favorite line Adam Driver ever said.
I feel like "filled her belly with my festering seed" takes the top spot for the sheer wtf factor
Pete Davidson: *Breaks* Adam Driver: *So you have chosen death*
Well the makeup does make him resemble Shakespeare..........
Pete is very unprofessional. Breaking in this skit could kill it. Thankfully Adam is professional. This is one of my favorite SNL skits off all time and Pete looked like a hack.
Dan Vaught geeee I can only wonder how long you’ve been watching SnL for, cuz if you stop throwing Baseless Criticism at Pete, then you would see throughout Snl history plenting of the cast has broken their character Mid skit 😒 and continued as Pete did, girl next to Pete broke character as well but you don’t come at her, I want to see you up there, trying to get through a skit with Adam effing Driver....
@@daddyrabbit835 Pete constantly admits in interviews he's not a good actor at all. It was weird to have the polar opposite in his face.
Your comment amuses me boy. However, laughter is for the weak. Like H. R . Pickens you are weak.
i just love that pete is fucking DYING the entire time
me too lololol
Adam Driver was probably like I’m gonna rant and pick on you a little and then pulled out this gem of a performance 😂
@Tut Pook you are useless atleast he is doing what he loves so shut up nigga
He broke the moment Adam opened that door. It was awesome.
Davidson sucks. And if you think he’s funny you must be dead from the neck up or weak like H.R. Pickens.
“Look at me boooyyy!” 😂😂😂
"I see you, man." 😂
You are weak like HR Pickens!
Kratos be like
I say this daily
“Look at him Mordecai!” 😂😂
So Mordecai is the descendant of H.R. Pickens. But Mordecai is also the weakest in his class, sullying the Parnassus bloodline. Looks like it was H.R. Pickens who got the final revenge. Great lore.
damn
Nahhh, all Mordecai needs to do is have the strong will of his father, and he will be worthy.
who is H.R. Pickens?
@@arthaiser EXACTLY
@@MalcrowAlogoran😂
man Adam Driver brings his acting game no matter what.
I would agree, but he never emotes with his eyes...EVER. They are constantly frozen in place.
You mean in this scene? Bcz you could see the pain in his eyes in the SW movies clearly. Here I think he is reading his lines from cue. His eyes are fixed off to the side rather than at the other people. So while his performance is amazingly funny I don't think he's actually putting alot of effort into it.
No I don’t think it was cue reading since he killed Pete at the start
@@intheredcold9216 Yeah, if anyone doubts whether Driver emotes with his eyes, they should watch the Han/Kylo Ren scene in The Force Awakens. But I actually think he was staring off because he was trying not to break character. Others in the skit were constantly trying to stifle laughs/smiles and it's pretty hard not to laugh when others are laughing. Based off the reactions, I'm pretty sure that smashing the crow with his cane was improvised, so I think he was putting in at least some effort.
@@intheredcold9216 They change the lines right up to air. It would be nearly impossible for him to memorize everything in that time period. He is putting a lot of effort into this.
I’m like 90% sure Mr Parnasis is Kylo ren
It is
You Lyin
I heard Abraham Parnassus has an 8 pack. That he’s shredded.
Mr Parnassus straight up sucks!
“Nobody ever really dies"
"I wanna be you when I grow up!" "AND SO YOU SHALL!!!!"
LMAO
"Aw, sick!"
"My bones never hardened but my spirit did." 🤣
Life's motto of 2023.
Always dusts me😭😭😭😭
I don't think Melissa was even acting. She was genuinely enjoying herself.
That's exactly what makes her such a good actress.
Meryl Streep wouldn't act in this skit lmao it's almost impossible not to be delighted
@@hellowendy1029 Yes👍👍
Or is Melissa's acting so good, that she makes it look like she's not acting, and just genuinely enjoying herself? LOL
She does KZhead videos every week we should ask her.
“Married your granddaughter and filled her belly with my festering seed” I lost it at that point 🤣
🤮
I laugh just re-reading the line.... LOL...
Me too! I was like wow, this shit is intense! lol
He is my final revenge HR ! 😂
I fucking hate myself for finding that last part hot 😭😭😭
Adam Driver has been the best SNL guest. He kills it every skit.
He’s an incredible actor, and he commits 100% to every single sketch. He’s an absolute gem of a host, and there aren’t many hosts at his caliber who don’t come from a comedy background
Its almost scary how well Adam Driver can tell and carry a dramatic story on a live sketch comedy show.
“I was born 7 months too early” was when I completely lost it
Lmao!!
"when I was rrrrripe enough" that got me good
I didn't even think about how early that was when I first watched the video. It didn't occur to me until I saw your comment. Looking up an image of a 2-month old fetus makes this all the funnier to imagine him being born like _that_ and surviving in a cast iron pot in a pizza oven.
That's an abortion not a birth. But he lived regardless because he was destined to crush H.R Pickins into the ground!
@@sarahdaniel9912 And marry his granddaughter, also fill her with his festering seed
"You are weak like H R Pickens" "Who is H R Pickens?" "EXACTLY"
Who is John Galt? I'm guessing this was inspired by Atlas Shrugged and There Will Be Blood.
It definitely made me think of There Will Be Blood. Man, the main character in that movie was such a horrible person. I'm now always going to imagine Rex Tillerson being just like this when the cameras aren't on.
@@LAkadian I think you're right. I guess Atlas Shrugged painted wealthy industrialists is a heroic light, but for some reason I always thought There Will Be Blood was inspired as a kind of anti-Ayn Rand horror...I could be projecting my own experiences on things.
@@somethingelse4424 Ha. Idk. Could be similar with me (goth guy here who used to hang out with all the punk anarchists and go to seedy hole in the wall concert venues)... but I do imagine there was some truth in it. I was a lover of Michael Moore's "Capitalism: A Love Story". Never saw Atlas Shrugged, but was aware of it. May have to watch it out of curiosity now that it's been mentioned again... Oh and if you've never heard of Edward Bernays, there was a super creepy lecture he gave about the U.S. educational system. Don't want to spoil it, but worth a listen.
Whats the girls name that asks I can't remember what else she's in besides snl
I never tire of watching this sketch. I just realised Abraham H. Parnassus says he has been an oil man for 82 years. That means, factoring in that he started at a young age but still a man, he is over 100 years old with an elementary aged child! He's a boss!
It was high school but yes he's old
Let’s not forget he was 2 months when he was born 😂😂😂😂
@@TheInnerPactthat part kills me.
LOL!
I just love rewinding and rewatching each individuals reaction to the bird stabbing, it’s priceless no matter how many times I watch it 😂
I never thought of that. Literally everyone was either breaking or appalled.
@@manaze85I don’t think stabbing the bird was part of the script which is why everyone is so shocked but that makes it 1000x funnier
Facts. Pete said it was Improvised
Melissa (Samantha) rolled with it perfectly. Honestly so impressed by her.
Same. That's right up there with Chris Farley flopping on the coffee table in front of Christina Applegate. I did the same thing with that sketch: nobody expected that!
Adam Driver should have gotten an Emmy for this performance.
While Pete Davidson does his best to ruin another sketch.
@@jackiecartwright9343 I mean I know what you mean but I would crack like an egg if Adam Driver yelled at me like that in my face 😂
@@jackiecartwright9343 Pete is hilarious you’re tripping
IF ONLY
Maybe that's why they hired him to do the sequel trilogy.
Samantha: “Who is H.R. Pickens?” Mordecai’s Dad: *”EXACTLY!”* This skit is a classic. It never gets old!
That makes H.R. Pickens Mordacai's great grandfather on his mom's side.
His commitment to the character instantly made this one of the best skits of all time. The script was good but Driver went all Olivier on us and even the cast couldn’t help but breaking a few times.
@@nontoonz2739 Mordecai... the product of Abraham's festering seed!
Ive watched this every Monday for two years.
I didn't figure out this joke.
This easily goes in my SNL top ten, I love Adam Driver's delivery so much! "I filled her belly with my festering seed and sired a boy" always gets me in stitches.
You honestly can’t blame Pete for nearly breaking, I would’ve passed out halfway through the sketch 😂😂
‘Nearly’? He was done from the second Adam opened his mouth
Jesus crist talk about carrying an entire sketch. Wow.
talk about carrying entire movies. trilogies. sagas. shows. the planet earth. adam driver does it all.
First the sequels now snl, whats next
My first child
Bruh
@@claytonduckett7571 ADAM DRIVER STREAMING NET FLIX 24/7
When he stabbed the fake bird EVERYBODY broke character. That was friggen perfect!
Watson TV Except Driver.
Aidy and Pete sure! lol. But I think that getting surprised at the fake bird getting stabbed was part of being in character. I’d be shocked, too, if I was up close watching it get beaten up.
You can tell he didn’t do it in dress rehearsals, he waited to go live
@@kylekiritz2672 I'm wondering if it was even scripted. If they planned for it, they would have made the end of the cane sharp to pierce the prop easier, but it just looks like a normal cane. I wonder if he was backstage before he went on, felt the prop, and just thought "I could probably stab this thing with the cane".
Melissa seemed to be in character by jumping with each strike, others harder to tell.
Still laughing as hard as I did the day it aired… NEVER gets old. Adam did not break character… brilliant
Adam Driver deserved an Emmy for this
His delivery of the line "Filled her belly with my festering seed" alone should have gotten him an EGOT (yes, I know that Tony awards are for theater and Grammy's are for music, I don't care).
Hell yeah.
I agree
He crushes his Emmys beneath his feet!
I started CRYING when he was explaining his incubation process 😭😂😂😂
It was in its infancy.
rrrrrrRiiiiiipe
That’s when I started laughing the hardest too lol
Mind over Flesh!
His bones never hardened but his spirit did!
I completely broke at, “So they placed me in a cast iron pot inside of a pizza oven, until I was RRIPE enough to walk!”
Well he was born 7 months too early!!😂😂😂
"Only the strong may suckle at mother's teat."
His bones never hardened but his spirit did
Incubation lol
Hahahaha yas!!
I tell my son “ look at your father boy…” all the time the lil “gave upon your father with pride” just kills me
😂😂😂
I like how every time Abraham H. Parnassus speaks a Leitmotif stats to play for him 😂😂😂😂
I want to see Adam Driver reprise his role as Abraham H. Parnassus but this time he's a chaperone for Mordecai's class field trip to (insert location)
Omg that would be amazing!
@@ieatgrass_8360 pete Davidson
@@lysolflavoredpoptarts Or to a natural history museum where they see dinosaur bones and then goes on a rant about being weak and how they sorta make oil lol.
Yes!!!
Or a chaperone at a school dance
The fact that he never broke character once while screaming some of the most hilarious and outrageous sentences I've ever heard just proves how great of an actor he is.
And while everyone else was.
TOTALLY. My respect level for him just shot up more points. Incredible!
Pete could hardly keep it together
@@joshhunter8789 he can never keep it together.
best snl skit ever
My father is exactly like this (not that old) so much so that his students saw this and showed it to him after it aired years ago. I came back to rewatch it four years later, and I still have tears in my eyes.
Lmao frenemies
I think Adam Driver puts 100% into every acting role..👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Can't believe my ancestor just got called out like that
Who?

"CRUSH YOUR ENEMIES! GRIND THEIR BONES INTO DIRT! MAKE THEM REGRET THEY WERE EVER BORN!" Strangely motivational.

Oh, SICK!
@@theengine the oil barons of this century
@@theengine the baron we didn't need, or DC didn't deserve
That's because it's true. People try to look good so they can't actually say it. But you have to be a real douchebag to rise to the top of any industry. No one got to the top by being nice. Except maybe Mr. Rogers. And he's not in the kind of business Parnassus is in LOL
honestly one of the better career talks i have seen
Nah, it doesn't include living down by the river in the van.
One of those sketches that keeps on getting better... Everytime you watch it... Pure gold, just pure gold.
I'm convinced that Adam piercing the dead bird with his walking stick was not on script, just based on the startled reactions of both Pete, Aidy and Melissa lol
Marine instinct.
It was part of the script that he was supposed to crush the bird with his cane but he used so much force when he did it that he completely impaled it.
That was fantastic
Cause Lorne hates improvisation according to some
@@CoffeeManiac20 pretty sure he's fine with Adam's since he's hosted 3 times now lol
Random country: *Finds Oil* USA: “Oil is not for the weak”
It is the earth's milk and only the strongest can suckle at mother's teat
America: CRUSH YOUR ENEMIES INTO THE DUST!!!
@@Klaaism America: One government came close to beating me, The British Empire. They did not succeed. Student: Great Britain had an empire? America: EXACTLY
If you knew anything about history, you'd understand that taking oil is a European tradition (just look at Iran). The US is a net exporter of oil, what would be the need for getting it elsewhere?
This skit has me in TEARS from laughing so hard! The yelling when talking about crushing his enemies, the stab on the bird with the cane, the fact Pete couldn't even look at him without cracking a smile, "I wanna be you when I grow up!" "AND SO YOU SHALL!!!!!!", there's just so much to laugh at in a short time. This is one of those rare skits that gets even funnier with each re-watch
I watch this sketch over and over! They need to bring him back every time Adam hosts. His personality needs to play out in different scenarios.
So many potential options. Parent/Teacher night, chaperoning a school dance, his son's little league game, guest speaker at graduation...
"OIL IS NOT FOR THE WEAK..... it is the earths milk..." Shit is fuckin poetic.
"And only the strong may suckle at Mother's teat"
Why is your World of Warcraft UI your profile picture, smelly horde warlock.
"And only the strongest may suckle at mother's teet." Even more poetic.
The 1000th thumbs up woot 👍 😂

oop-
😂
Ahahahaha
Omg 😂😂
shut up XDDD
I won’t get over the fact that puncturing the crow was never a part of the script and that Adam perfectly improvised that scene.... their reactions are priceless!
It was obviously not scripted, but that's what Julliard teaches you, save a surprise for the performance. It makes for a more authentic reaction. 😻 They should be proud. I would have loved to see the cast's reactions at the first table read.
@@necromaya agreed
I never knew that! Where'd you find that out?
He pretends well. When you lose yourself in a character like that, you can ignore how good you're doing because you're living art.
@@ellalivingston3947 You can tell by how shocked they are, especially the teacher. If it were accepted they wouldn't have reacted like that.

@@JOKERNYCC Yes Yes Yes thank you
My wife and I do that to each other
You know you're a good actor when you're keeping a straight face while shouting nonsensical rhetoric and the rest of the cast in the skit is doing all that they can to not bust a gut laughing and failing miserably. I have mad respect for Adam Driver. Mad respect.
He's really good.
I didn't like him until this. Good stuff Maynard.
The make up might also be helping, but I'm entirely sure it's all him.
He was a marine that was honorably discharged for a training injury. I imagine the level of discipline he learned to keep his composure under stress and berating from instructors helped with acting later.
Yes outstanding indeed ...
Probably in the top 10 of ALL-TIME SNL sketches! I saw this when it aired live and will never forget it. 🤣😂
I watch this at least once a day 🔥
I want a full movie about this character with Adam Driver as the star.
I'm surprised that SNL doesn't make movies based on their skits anymore.
10/10 would watch.. I need full backstory on that H. R. Pickens vengence.
There Will Be Blood 2: Pernassis vs Plainview
Ryan Vaughn He could be the one who changes it.
a longer sketch with hr pickings
This may be the most passionate performance from any skit in SNL history.
just a rework of "i drink your milk shake". another remix sketch. its like a theme this episode.
It's based on the movie "There Will Be Blood".

Nope. Every skit Chris Farley was in.

My parents are both professors in aerospace engineering (rocket science) and I imagine they probably teach similarly Hey Dr.Person how do you make a rocket? YOU CRUSH YOUR ENEMIES IN TO THE GROUND What if I don't know how to do that? Then you are WEAK like HR PICKENS WAS and you are not fit to physicist like me
...brings in a bunch of guest speakers?
These writers were brilliant to showcase Adam Driver like this!!
I can't stop watching this. I laugh at this almost every couple of months. Please never take it down.❤😂
I love how he's so supportive ahah "I wanna be like you when I grow up" "AND SO YOU SHALL"
Its great but it was random af. It's like he needed one more triumphant statement before he finished his presentation and announced the snack he brought.
Best line.
@@TedBrogan The way I interpret it is Parnassass is able to recognize strength and weakness: he knew the class would point to his son as the weakest in the class, and he recognized strength in the girl. He knows the girl has what it takes to succeed as an oil baron.

Ultimate revenge to HR PiCkEnS
nolaughingmatter no no his revenge was having mordecai with the granddaughter of H. R. Pickens
She'll marry the guy, break his spirit til he will barely even have an opinion, and keep her FIL's legacy strong!
Alessandro Paolino honestly down with it Samantha will marry Mordecai have a child with him and break his spirit and Abraham’s legacy and fortune will be hers. Just to find out that she is related to HR PICKENS AND THIS WAS HIS ULTIMATE REVENGE!!! (A lil incesty but all in a days work to get revenge 🤷🏽♀️) also if my scenario wasn’t true Mordecai and Samantha are a true ship.
Mordecai will sell pizzas, and the circle will be complete

Look at your father boy!
I can act and so can he.. But when he stabbed the bird I lost it. That was pure magic

What I love is that Adam Driver is saying some of the most insanely funny things ever and he never breaks or loses intensity once. It’s just so funny how he can keep it up with how funny this sketch is.
and pete is just losing it
@IAmaPersion to be fair to Pete, he has said many times that he's not a great actor. He never wanted to be one, he wanted to be a stand up comedian. He's good in the digital shorts which aren't live.
IAmaPersion he is hilarious what kinda drugs are u on
Pete on the other hand INSTANTLY broke xD
He's a marine. You learn to keep your facade real quick there.
"Look at you father boy...look upon your father with pride"...I lost it😅
So did Pete. 🤣
Best snl line ever

Lost what? Your brain?
This is legit one of the funniest sketches!!!!
"And in my opinion, that's how we make the fire go away." Such an underrated line.
4:00 Anyone else impressed by Adam Driver's direct hit impaling the raven on the first strike? *CRUSH your enemies!!!!!!*
and by the looks of others reaction, i don't think it was rehearsed :D everyone seemed surprised by that xD
It would have been better if he, after impaling the bird with the stick, raised it up and started addressing it as HR Pickens rather than trying to stab it again....just sayin'....
@@pdxtim97209 That would have been so funny! Agreed. 😂 🤣

"I was born 7 months early" 🤣🤣
"Incubation technology was still in it's infancy, so they placed me in a cast iron pot inside of a pizza oven until I was ripe enough to walk."

I love how pete literally starts laughing and then goes "I see you man" Since yall want to be bitches 😂😂
His character didn't play well off Driver's. The father doesn't come off as one to be mocked as Davidson's character does. Plus, the class identifies him as the weakest in their midst, but he tries to appear strong in publicly contradicting his own father.

As it should be. She's not weak like H.R. Pickens
What is so special about Samantha?
