Yep. Old school.

Doorbell routine absolutely spot on. I grew up in the 50’s-60’s. German family. My mom always had baked cakes, especially on weekends. Friends visited a lot on Sunday afternoons or Saturday. Sanka could be offered or the electric percolator was put on. You were happy for company, especially if they had kids and you could play in the backyd or front if warm. No worries about being abducted!! Social interaction was abundant. Fast forward to the present-- eye to eye conversation all but gone at dinner time, if you even eat together. In restaurants adults and kids on phones, texting. No wonder young people can’t string a grammatically correct sentence together. It’s all abbreviations, and smart phone code. Ahhhhh! Now texting is the oral conversation of 50’s to 70’s. Social media is changing young people’s exchanging of social discourse and manners. Internet has its positives, however, I’m glad I was brought up in an era of simplicity, cherishing family, company over, and manners! I hope somehow we can return to a little of that small town life!

Man, I’m 58 and so thankful I grew up when I did! Times like these…absolutely precious. When he talks about Sarah Lee coffee cake…Sanka….😂😂 dear heaven I almost peed myself I laughed so hard. And that you didn’t answer the phone when company was over?! Wow, just a little bit different now right? You’re out with friends, they get a text and read and answer it while you’re still speaking to them…we really have become incredibly rude. Well, thanks for those memories Sebastian.

True call. Hysteria. Check out data from the CDC, also easily found in the DHHS web site. In the last couple of years, that's 2019-18, 34,000 Americans died of Influenza. Flu. It's a death rate of 7% out of all Americans who got it bad enough to require hospitalization, which reached the staggering number of 500,000. Total number of Americans diagnosed with the flu last winter was, brace yourself - 16.5 million! 5% of the American people were sick enough with the flu to go see a doctor. 3% of them needed hospitalization, out of that 3 %, 7% kicked the bucket. Nobody gave a rats turd about that. Btw, though I know overeating is not a physically contagious epidemic, do you know how many Americans died of Obesity? 300,000! 300K for duck's sake! But that's obesity. If you count ALL fat people who died due to constantly stuffing their faces with unhealthy quantities of food, you get 3,000,000! 3 million!!! 1% of the entire American population die each year from overeating.

XmanSully, I agree with you to a certain point. They, the professionals who are experts in disease control, still do not know how it is really spreading. To be cautious is the right way to be thinking. Good hygiene is the number one practice to be implemented. Most people don’t really wash their hands. Especially in hospitals. So, even though your statistics might be right, it doesn’t change the fact that people are being infected and dying. If you survive, it might be awhile for a full recovery. To conclude my thought, media, yes I agree, they are known for pushing rumors. But, to consider this situation as a minor thought or just another contagious disease is a little on the denial side. The virus is spreading and more people are being infected everyday. I say be aware and to thank God or whatever you believe in, everyday is a blessing, to be with your loved family and friends. Today, would be a good day be thankful and laugh as much as you can.

Oh the nostalgia. I don’t care what anyone says those were better days.

As a almost 50 year old....I remember those days....we had company...I loved those days I grew up in...so lucky I did...not saying times were perfect...but I miss those times so bad.

I’m 54… I fondly remember family members, coworkers of my father, and neighbors knocking on the door - coming over to visit …and Bonus! if they had kids-even better!! We would go play outside - even at dark … it was just a thing … life as I knew it …so much fun! Little did I know those simple times were just slipping away -and my children and grandchildren would never experience this simple joy. I loved visiting with “the company”. Looking back : I guess this is why I’ve always made a point to have pastry desserts in the house… cakes/pies…waiting for that unexpected surprise visitor. Feeling nostalgic…

Growing up in the 90s I totally understand this. The doorbell rang we literally would run to the door, open up, Misses Lisa "Oh my gosh! Come on in". Now a large knock on the door and I'm like "is that the cops? What crime am I involved in..... I've done nothing wrong!"

I lost it when he said "Entenmann's" on the table!! My mom is 3rd Gen Italian American and I remember seeing Entenmann's everywhere for the brief time we lived in Chicago with all her relatives. I was too young to really understand, but once Sebastian mentioned it, I about died laughing. As a matter of fact, I can totally relate to his humor and stories now that I am an in my 40's and I look back at my childhood. Thanks Sebastian!

Pretty sure I saw Sebastian smile after that lady started laughing so hard 😄🤩

Saw Sebastian in Charlotte NC last week. Laughed for an hour and 20 minutes. This man has spent probably 1000’s of hours honing his comedic verbiage and physical motions. A true professional. Hope to see him again. This clip is a classic, though sad to know that that wonderful era is over. Glad I lived it.

"Is that your mother with a SWORD??" Sebastian is great. He makes old school observational comedy funny in 2020, with a flair.

I'm sitting here with tears rolling down my eyes laughing hysterically LOL--so true!

Man he’s so right. I’m prone crawling to the front window to peer out of the blinds, my child is screaming crying, my wife is having a panic attack. This is a good skit

My family is Central American but of Italian decent on both sides and this guy describes exactly how my family reacted to receiving company back in the 80s. The happiness, cake, and the Sanka.

After this quarantine is over I'm definitely gonna be running to the door saying "PEOPLE!!"

Love this bit. Would love to see a modern twist added where the guy coming downstairs informs the whole family that it's his Amazon package. The family gets up relieved after sweating bullets.

Sicilian here and this is spot on for those of us who grew up in the NYC/NJ area. My mom would beat my ass if I ate the "company" desserts.

He is so freaking hysterical. This never gets old. His timing, facial expressions, and body language are perfect.

The good years

Wow talk about bringing back some memories. It was EXACTLY like he said it was. Omg im dying and sad at same time cuz those days are just long gone.

So dad says "Don't answer that phone. We have company". Now, people think nothing of answering a call in the middle of a conversation.

I think I’ve rewatched this skit, half a dozen times! Soooo funny. My most fav ever...and so true. Sometime ago, my husband and I are watching tv, Saturday, late morning. Teeth brushed, hair still tousled, enjoying caffeine...knock on the door. We freeze, like deer in the headlights. Husband: “Who’s that?” Me: “I don’t know”. 2nd knock...We both jump up, I head toward the bathroom, he lands in the bedroom doorway. Me: “Go see who it is.” Husband: “I got it last time”. Now I’m laughing, tears rolling down my face...apparently we were outta Sanka. 😂😂😂

You have to be his Dad's age in order to get it. Cake was always saved for Company and Sanka was instant decaffeinated coffee which you drank in the evenings. Company dropped in almost any time of the day or night. In today's world we don't answer the door.

This was my family back in the good old days!!! Miss that!!

One of the funniest comedy skits ever!

This man is a comedic genius and his timing is on point.

Army crawl...I tip toe and creep out the curtains thru the tiny slit. If I haven't invited you to my home, then the person at my door is trespassing. Times have changed. Sabastian has the funniest way describing anything, it never gets old.

This was my parents in the 1970’s. It was always my Aunt Lorraine and Uncle Bob. 😂 So true about the cake and coffee and it was always 9 pm and I always had to answer the door. 😄

This guy should have his own “coming of age” sitcom about what it was like growing up in his family’s home/neighborhood. At least write a one hour pilot. That would be hysterical!

I laughed myself silly over this. I'm 58, and grew up in Queens. This was 100% our life in the 70's and 80's, and we loved it! Look! It's Aunt Chris and Uncle Ray!

Old days are the best days of our lives. Showing up on your friend or family's door or receiving an unnanouced visit from parents or relatives or friends was indeed one of the best things to happen to us. Sebastian opened up on the beautiful past habits that we wish to have them back.

To me this is Sebastian's best bit ever. I'm 33 and being a child in the 90's, this is such a nostalgic and spot on joke.

The Entemann's cake kills me. OMG that was the truth and God forbid anyone touched it! LOL! Sanka my mother drank all of the time!

I love this part because it is precisely how I remember things back in the days.

I know this is old..but good lord so true.

Between this bit and the chipotle burrito, I'm red in the face laughing over here. Hilarious!

This was hysterical!! So true, and right on the money. Sebastian tells it like it is, and he gets it. This is nostalgic humor at its best that I can directly relate to. Growing up in the 70's was this way to a tee. The coffee cake and Sanka for company.. classic! Nobody rings your doorbell anymore these days unless they've been vetted. I was rollin'!

That lady laughing in the back! Best laugh ever.
