This would be funny if we could see Bill Murray's performance. This skit came out around the time the movie came out. Everyone in the country knew of it but no one knew the effect it would have on the culture of the planet. With that in mind, it's Murray's comical timing and expressionsits what makes his skit funny. All you did was steal someone else's work, did an edit job my 10-year old could have done much better (w/ After Effects (purchased, not stolen)), and ruin the affects of each.
NBC would rather have no one see it than have someone see it without their control. They're working from a flawed business model. They don't realize the incredible advertising potential of YouTube. Imagine, they can expose their entire back catalog to a new generation of viewers and THEY DON'T HAVE TO PAY ONE CENT FOR THE EXPOSURE! Intelligent companies realize this for the free advertising it is and they could ask for better advertising fees for their network because of the increased exposure.
I remember watching SNL when it first started. I was only in grade school, but even then knew great comedy. I miss the classics. Bill Murray, John Belushi, Dan Akroyd....et cetera...
@DarthXasthur ...Thats funny, because I distinctively remember Bill Murray portraying the lounge singer singing this in a SNL skit....I never saw Steve Martin do it though. I think you may be wrong
I hate those fuckers at NBC....banning all SNL videos for public consumption. You used to be able to watch Bill Murray do this skit on youtube until the cocksucking greedy fucks took it off. It was funny as hell and didn't hurt a DAMN PERSON. Just those greedy fuckers I guess. Hey NBC....Fuck you!!
@jerrywitaj yeah, they didn't let other news stations show coverage of the Winter Olympics this year. Like anyone wanted to see the Winter Olympics! SNL isn't funny anymore. So fuck NBC!
@jerrywitaj I know! Imagine someone that doesn't want to give away their work for free! The nerve! Because I'm sure that if you ever didn't get paid for work you did you'd be fine with it, because you're not a greedy effer!
This was fantastic! For years whenever I heard the Star Wars theme, I would sing along with Bill Murray's rendition. My 15 & 9 yr old children would roll thier eyes and say, "Mom... Would you stop! There aren't any words to that song." I'd sing louder and say, "Oh yes there are!"
Sure. About as likely as Back to the Future 4. Maybe they could call it "Ghostbusters: The Geriatric Years", and they'd only chase after the really slow ghosts.
I'd rather see Bill's actual performance than this lame-ass cheap video. Any teenager could make this cheap-ass video!
