    Fun fact: Julia Child thought this skit was hilarious and would proudly show her personal copy of it to guests at her parties. She was able to laugh at herself, which is truly the best kind of humor.
  • Interesting Fact: The REAL Julia Child loved this skit so much, that she shown it to her parties.

    Hands down one of the all-time best. I love how "Julia Child" keeps talking even as she's bleeding to death.
  • @krock90
    If I close my eyes i only hear Mickey Mouse talking lol
  • i still recall watching this as a teenager LIVE and laughing so hard, i was crying.....man, was SNL really stocked with talent back in those days
  • @TheReal7Bit
    This is, bar none, my absolute favorite Aykroyd sketch, his delivery still cracks me up. Finally it's on the official channel because this is up there with King Tut and Belushi's Samurai as some of the most iconic SNL stuff ever

    It's true that the best form of flattery is to be imitated. Julia Child actually loved this and I heard that when she invited people over for dinner that she would play this skit for them. Such a classy lady all the way around and Dan Ackroyd did such a great impression of her. It shall go down in comic history.

    How I love Julia still. She made haute cuisine universally accessible; one didn’t have to study at the Cordon Bleu to utilize the techniques of the French masters. She was endearing, self deprecating, and so wonderfully encouraging. She opened up worlds of flavor, and her sense of humor allowed her to laugh along with us. Julia, you are dearly missed.

    I remember seeing this "live" and just about having a heart attack from laughing so hard. Thanks for posting!
  • @jahudgens5344
    this was the skit that solidified Dan Aykroyd as an SNL Legend and brought Julia Child new viewers too
  • the weird thing about Dan is that he was always the crazy one on SNL, but in the movies, his best roles were the straight/mellow guy i.e. blues brothers, trading places, ghostbusters
  • @2006glg
    She certainly said words like "saltine" oddly. I miss her.

    "Oh God, it's throbbing!" My favorite sketch ever. Bass-O-Matic is a very close second. Comedy genius and it still holds up!!
  • @dwhitman3092
    Aykroyd nailed the depiction of Julia Child! The movements, the voice,- everything LOL- my God it was hilarious!

    I remember watching this on SNL when I was a kid back in the 70s. There were very few TV channels and no VCR. I always looked forward to Saturday nights when I could stay up late to watch TV which had a lineup of Monty Python, Benny Hill, Saturday Night Live and Second City Television. Much simpler but very enjoyable times.

    The "blood" was gross but that wig style really complimented the shape of Dan Aykroyd's face. Very flattering.
  • @ksol1460tv
    Julia Child LOVED this. It was just her kind of humor. She would be doing a chicken (at home, not on her show) and she'd hold up the liver, yell "Save the liver" and fall over laughing.
