Jan Hooks who I have also enjoyed in other skits plays the mother. Short has always been hit or miss with me when it comes to his SNL work. Martin Short was also in this as one of the male sons of the oversensative father played by Steve Martin. Maybe it was the writers fault, or maybe I just don't know good comedy but I never really liked this one very much. The Jerk is one of my favorite funny movies. I love his stand up as well as his many comedy blockbusters. The guy is in a very exclusive club having hosted SNL 15 times as of this posting. I generally love Steve Martin, he was great in many of of his appearances on the show over the years. That being said this is not one of my favorite classic SNL sketches. I know many people believe the 1970s were the best years for good SNL skits but I am a 80s and 90s child so I love these two decades the most. The 1980s was the golden age for Saturday Night Live in my opinion.
It's about a family that is neurotic and extremely sensitive to the point that the family cannot function or even communicate with each other. Here is a classic SNL skit from the 1980s called 'The Eggshell Family'.
