I completely forgot about that. WOOT!
They manage to make a good point at the end there.
This one of my all time SNL bits.
I love this. So good.
That is awesome, thank for posting!
Did the bake the creme brule or did they just flame the top, because I personally feel there is a BIG difference.
I've been out to my dad for the last 12 years and he'd still be on it. It's so annoying.
That whole thing straddles a very difficult line. The point made in the text is very pro-gay and does make a good point. But people are laughing because the kids are such flaming homos, and homos are funny. Careful, careful, SNL.
But, MBI, some kids *are* flaming homos. And they're the ones parents have issues with, are embarrassed by, etc. So... you couldn't make the point SNL is making here if you showed the under-the-radar gay kids. And speaking as a homo that was a bit of a sissy as a child, I think it's hilarious.
My hobby in grade school? Baking.
man, i was having that "is it ok for me to laugh at this" moment, what with all the gay-bashing & drinking daddies. right up until "because it's your problem, not theirs." laughing my butt off: perfect, thanks for my daily dose of hilarity.
That was cute. Thanks for posting.
Oh my God! That was so me when I was a little boy!
Let's not forget the other side of the equation - Hetracil - an anti effeminancy drug.
Here's a post I did in January 2006 exploring the idea of Hetracil and taking the idea into the realm of religious belief:

I had forgotten all about this. The first time I saw it I laughed so hard I almost shat. Thanks for the lift.
@8 and 9
You took the thoughts right out of my head, MBI. I assume the laughs aren't canned, it being SN LIVE, so I guess the show isn't responsible for the fact that the audience laughed at the effeminate boys more than at the homophobic parental reactions - the ostensible point of the skit's text. I have the same problem with bigot-vague shows like South Park: the program is such that viewers can laugh at or with the bigots. On the other hand, with a show like All in the Family, it was clear that the laugh was on Archie Bunker.
"Because it's your problem,
Not theirs."
Excellent line
I LOVE THAT! The tagline at the end is really great... Thanks for sharing, Dan!
But what's that object in the right hand of the kid who made that fabulous top?
I know everyone likes this thing because it's so positive, but I kind of think it would be funnier if were the blatantly homophobic joke that it was probably conceived as instead.
Thanks for bringing my attention to this video. I have a twin brother who is a Skoal dipping staunch Republican. He constantly worries about one of our nephews being gay. It's a big deal for him apparently because I am gay and he's super sensitive about it. I put that video on my blog because he needs to see it too! ;) Thanks, Dan. I wrote you about 5 years ago about relationship advice. You helped me focus better on the bigger picture! Thanks.
I need to catch up with you more regularly! ;)

Brett @ 21: I hear you. I have a brother-in-law who won't let his (5 year old) son come to play with his cousin (our 6 year old son) because we're gay. He won't even let the two boys hug--they're supposed to shake hands. What a moron. Thank god he lives on the east side. We put up with him, but I think he's headed for a heart attack if he doesn't get some Homocil: the other day his boy told him to get rid of the uptight wife (my sister-in-law) so the boy could have two cool dads like his cousin. I told my husband we're going to have to fund a bus pass for the boy cuz he'll be in Seattle every weekend escaping his family.
