I remember an old SNL episode from I think 1988 or 89. It was shown on MTV, when we got the original UK-MTV in Germany, and not yet that German version. So it must have been in the late 80ties or early 90ties. It was a SNL-show where Bryan Ferry appeared with two or three songs of his then new album (that's why I watched it).
Well, I remember there was some joke in this show, which was called "Pizza Boys" or something like that... starting rather boring and unfunny and ending in a sexual innuendo ("you need a massage?" or something like that) - it was meant to be funny, but made me feel a bit uneasy watching. I did not know anything about a connection of "pizza" and "sexual abuse" then, of course, but I never forgot about that stupid joke (and I forgot all the other crappy jokes of that show). I know I recorded the Bryan Ferry part on an old VHS-tape, and there is a little chance, that the rest of the show also was recorded. But maybe someone else here remembers that? Maybe it was shown more often in the show? (I am not an SNL expert).

80s and 90s*

Re "Pizza Boys:" One of my friends whose abuse started with the Catholic church said they referred to the kids as "sandwich boys," which was shorthand for, they wanted a sandwich and a boy, no, forget the sandwich, just send the boy.

Good memory. UpVoat for that alone.

Don't know the show, but I'll try doing a search for it later. If your memory is accurate (and I'm sure it is), it would mean SNL was in on this crap from the beginning. How else would they do an inside joke using a code word? I never heard "pizza" used in any other way except for the accepted definition of it being a food. It was never used to refer to for sex or anything sexual.

Thanks for this.

Here it is...! I spent some time on the attic with my old VHS-tapes and finally found the right one. That sketch was called "At the Movies" with "Gene Siskel" and "Roger Ebert". They are talking about "Boynapped", "Pizza Boys" and "Stanley Kubrick". So, what do you think?

In my memory it was longer, but maybe there was more in the show, but I recorded just the Bryan Ferry songs in the show - and this part was recorded by accident, as it was shown just before Ferry's last song.

So, here it is (I set it on "private" as it seems that SNL-stuff quickly gets removed from youtube, if it's not on their official channel - maybe they don't find it when "private". But you can spread it of course):

I also put it on Russian "rutube" - if it should vanish from yt:

Oh, voat tells me that "comment contains banned domains" - no Rutube allowed? wtf?

Look, here's the definitive archive.

Nothing about a sketch take-off on Siskel & Ebert.

Awesome work!!! Is it this episode: http://snltranscripts.jt.org/87/87f.phtml

They don't even have that skit listed!!!! I mean, I wonder why? From what you said, obviously it's pizzagate related. And I went to a couple of other places and they don't have this listed either ... wonder why? Youtube definitely scrubbed saying it violated community standards, and rutube? Yeah, I don't trust that site. Don't know a neutral site where you can put it.

But a serious UpVoat for you.

Yes, it's that SNL-Show... as listed in the nbc-link and that other "snl-transcripts" link above.

But it is listed - in the "snl-transcripts":

  • At The Movies Summary: Gene Siskel (Kevin Nealon) and Roger Ebert (Phil Hartman) review Christmas porno films. Recurring Characters: Roger Ebert. *

Youtube already sent me a warning - and that they deleted it - although it does not have any "views". Wow, that was quick! But it's still online. Just visible for me?

Rutube has it still listed. I have an account there - for cases like this one. It's my "exile".
But I can upload it somewhere as a "file" or even a zipped file, it's just 1 minute / 6 MB.

migratorypatterns ago

Yeah, YouTube is efficient when they need to be. Not sure where to put the file. It would be nice to view it online. Did you try sneaking it on Vimeo?

lopus ago

ok, uploaded it to vimeo. let's see how long it stays there!

If it's gone I just uploaded the little snippet to my very own private webspace. You can download it here - and spread it! :) ( but I might remove that link later!) http://www.bowiefun.com/private/atm1306.mp4 (it's about, 6,5 MB)

oh, found it here! Season 13 Episode 06. With Bryan Ferry and Danny DeVito. First aired 12/5/1987. There no Pizza-joke is mentioned, well, hope my memory was indeed accurate here.. and not spoiled by all this pizza stuff of the last 12 months.. It's not on youtube, and here are only a few clips offered, which are just available in the US.

I believe you and not them.
