The Sun/Stun Ballet

Joe Raposo conducted his musicians live in studio for this segment, in my opinion one of the funniest on the show. The ladies of perform a stilted but sweet ballet, and then Morgan comes in and... just watch. :)

Screamworthy: Joe Raposo heard breaking into laughter and unable to finish his kazoo note because of something Morgan does, and the other musicians' and crew's uproarious laughter at the same incident... this segment is funny as hell.

I decided to keep in the Scanimation "star" clip immediately following this because it's just such a nice, gorgeous example of Joe's musical work on that show.

Thanks NantoVision!

Reminds me of the Bad Ballet sequence on the original SNL.

[raposofan]

I remember that! God, I haven't thought of that sketch in two decades - thank you for bringing it all back! :D

This is available in the first box set...definitely worth it, as you can hear the crew break up even more clearly:-).

[raposofan]

Worth having, man - BIGtime!

[swarlock]

Seems Morgan got carried away in this skit.

[raposofan]

It's his funniest TEC performance ever imho! What he does at the end is just insane.

@marshallwillenholly I actually have that sketch on the complete SNL DVD sets (seasons 1 to 5; I forgot which season had Bad Ballet on it. It may have beens season 3, but it sounds like a season 4 sketch).

Was Morgan supposed to laugh?

[quirpco]

Funny - I think I'm laughing more at this as an adult than I did when I was a child. XD

[marshallwillenholly]

YW. You must see the Bad Ballet of "Swan" on season 2. : )

[heyheyheydude]

It'd been even more funny if they zapped Morgan with a "stun gun". LOL
