John Belushi Skylab is falling.MPG

[IExposeMormonism]

Makes me wonder about the WTC on 911. Not only would Skylab not collapse the 500,000 ton WTC's, neither would a Boeing, a hollow aluminum beer can. Yet we see it's wing tips, edges, tail and all seamlessly enter the WTC, enter it fully and only then explode. Not a Boeing. Believe it or not

[Effingbaddude]

How the world misses you John Belushi....

Did anyone else catch the two important issues he mentioned from then that exists today?

He said that the WTC could be knocked over.

He said that the IRS takes 1/2 and waste it instead of investing in the infrastructure and alternate energy.

[altgeldrarities]

Watching this classic clip reminds me of what a tragedy that was loosing Skylab.

[Micki1958]

What a classic!

[sweetangelwishes]

Funny!He was the best!

[CatapultYourMom]

The Truthers are right. It was Skylab that took out the WTC!

[THX1205]

First SNL 1974-1980 generation! Best Generation Ever! The Original and The Best!

[SFConifer]

The UARS is just starting to enter the highest reaches of the atmosphere as I post this...90 miles up. How prescient of John to mention the WTC...

[budnboston]

"the government takes 50 percent of my money that I earn every year and they could be spending it mass transit, solar energy , and cleaning up the environment , but noooo..." could be said today just as clearly , so am surprised those exact issues so formidably critical today had the same force in the seventies - why has nothing changed ?

[BuddyPC]

@budnboston

They are spending it on mass transit and solar energy.

Same results as Skylab.

[budnboston]

@BuddyPC Compared to mass transit, housing, energy technology, infection control, food and drug safety, the innovation in the world of drones is incredible. Ralph Nader - i.e. the government puts way more cash, energy and commitment into the military industrial complex so it realizes therein phenomenal technological progress, unlike in solar and mass transit - not heard of drones falling out of the sky or its industry in tatters , the US had fifty drones in 2001 it has seven thousand today

[Rhino196669]

The mention of the WTC was kind of surreal but, still a funny skit.

[delineater]

Wow, sounds like the recent news. Gotta love the cycles.

[dsfddsgh]

John's commentaries on Weekend Update were always epic because you knew he was gonna lost it at the end. LOL

[lebac]

If the Skylab hits the WTC it would topple over? Nope, it would neatly free fall into it's own footprint in 10 seconds.

[Mainsail76]

@lebac "Free fall into it's own footprint in 10 seconds." Nice one truther sheep. Who told you that, fat Alex Jones? I'm sure you're an expert on the subject, right? I'm sure you'd know how a building that was hit by a fully fueled jet airliner traveling at 400 to 500 mph would react. After all twoofer doofus, I'm sure you've seen it happen so many times. You dumb truthers are totally ignorant of science, so it all seems like wizardry to you. Better watch out, FEMA's coming for you! BOO!

[budnboston]

@Mainsail76 There is no 9/11 debate. On the one hand there are credentialed experts who demonstrate problems in the official account, and on the other hand there are non-experts who denounce the experts as conspiracy kooks. The experts are cautious and careful about what they say, and their detractors have thrown caution and care to the wind. That is the state of the debate.Dr. Paul Craig Roberts

[lebac]

@Mainsail76 Jane, you ignorant slut.

[bieberfan3601]

@lebac Funny, because that's not what happened when a jetliner hit it.

[mikespeed20082]

@lebac are you mahmoud ahmadinejad?

[lebac]

@mikespeed20082 Nope, I am just trolling. And I got few hooked pretty bad. ;)

[valcorwin]

BUT NOOOOO!

[1Nekit1]

OOOOOOOOOOH BOY!

[bunnasoo2]

Hey this is relevant again! Another space thing is going to fall!

[jesselun]

15% ain't bad!

[PJTrpster]

@jesselun FIFTY, 50 percent. This was during the Carter administration.

[jesselun]

@PJTrpster doh! thought i heard 15

[cew1965]

some of this old SNL stuff really isnt too funny, then again, the newer things arent that funny anyway. But when John Belushi is in it, his attitude just makes it funny!

[ThisIsPehPeh]

lolif ithit the world trade center it would fall over! its an INSIDE JOB! ahhhhh lol jk but i wish snl was like this now

[ilovetogofast88]

Back when SNL was ACTUALLY funny

[vccstudents]

"The government spends fifty percent of my money that I earn every year. They could be spending it on mass transit, solar energy, clean up the environment, BUTNO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! NO!!!!!!!!!!!! They have to spend millions sending up a few chunks of steal, so they can scream back to Earth!" The man was THE FUNNIEST EVER on SNL! NO ONE ELSE compares!

[RileySkye100]

At least John didn't live to see one of his jokes actually come true.

[monokhem]

It's like the people cheering whe he started talking about solor power and the envirnment were so uninformed they didn't get the joke.

[thoof2001]

@monokhem WHO didn't get the joke?? I think it was you, golf ball.

[mcjprr]

way too funny to have just 2, 955 views

[stepashby]

John you were brilliant.

[mcleanartists]

I'm still mad at you John for leaving us!

[jpowell180]

At least it did not hit the WTC..... ;) (ummm....sorry, was that too soon?)

[diddymuck]

the model evidently came apart in mid-speech, yet JB carried on to a great finish.

[diddymuck]

probably Belushi's best rant!

[vccstudents]

@diddymuck I agree! His second best rant was the Christmas for the needy!

[MCurt99]

Thats Jane Curtain you may recognize her from the series Kate and Allie or more recently professor Albright from 3rd Rock from the sun.

[parrothead2008]

@MCurt99 Jane!, she's an ignorant slut! (not a personal attack, just a line from the show.)

[kathynoon]

@MCurt99 No I recognize Jane Curtain from Saturday Night Live.

[Vastad]

Who is the beautiful blonde that introduces Belushi? Feel like I should recognise her from some 80s movie or something.

[silvereagle2061]

@Vastad Jane Curtian

[Vastad]

@silvereagle2061 thank you. the info is much appreciated
