"don't put me in any of your _gay little sketches..."_ ~ Norm ~ (MacDonald)

Look at Norm's grin, he wasn't putting it on just for the sketch, dude's legit really enjoying himself here

written by Norm as a joke on Kattan and Brendan being weirdly close all week (they went on to make Monkeybone), Will is playing Kattan, Thats why Will makes those Kattan-style shrieks, bc Chris K refused to do anything w Norm cuz Norm always trolled him

Ferrell started in 1995 as a regular cast member and left in 2002. Norm had been there since 1993 until early 1998. Both were, however, coming back on SNL irregularly as featured actors (or as hosts) since their respective departures from being a member of the regular cast. Like, there is one sketch here, on the YT, from 2009 where Ferrell plays Alex Trebek once again on the parody of Celebrity Jeopardy and MacDonald appears there too, as his traditional Burt Reynolds/Turd Ferguson persona. :-)

Ferrell also said “Hey Norm” as Harry Carey during Colin’s first week hosting update. Not sure if it was intentional, but he did it again later in the sketch and said “what do I know, I’m dead”

Well, Fraser was pretty much well-established in Hollywood by that point. Had starred as a lead on several successful films. This sketch is from 1997 and that year he had a big hit with George of the Jungle. Before that, he was on School Ties, Airheads, Encino Man or With Honors, among others. His breakthrough year was 1992.

That's because there are unfortunately lots of daft idiots out there who took jokes and sketches, such as this one, way too seriously; meaning that they genuinely believed that the authors were truly conveying that the "gayness" was something gross and wrong, which only caused further problems within the real-life society, because they then blindly believed that their sickening views were justified and widely supported. These dumbos thus spoilt everything.
