Romano Tours - SNL

>>> CULTURE. HISTORY. SPAGHETTI. THESE ARE THE THINGS OF A COUNTRY CALLED ITALIA. HELLO, I'M JOE ROMANO FROM ROMANO TOURS. I'VE BEEN PROVIDING TRIPS TO ITALY TO PEOPLE ALL OVER THE WORLD. BUT MOSTLY FROM NEW JERSEY. >> THANKS, ROMANO TOURS. >> EXPLORE THE OLD COUNTRY WITH OUR TEN-DAY VACATION PACKAGE. SEE VENICE, THE CITY OF WETNESS. POINT AND LAUGH AT THE TOWER OF PISA. AND PLAY WITH SOME DOUGH IN NAP NAPOLI. PEOPLE LOVE US. EVERY SO OFTEN PEOPLE LEAVE US A REVIEW THAT THEY WERE DISAPPOINTED OR DIDN'T HAVE AS MUCH FUN AS THEY THOUGHT. WE ALWAYS REMIND OUR CUSTOMERS, IF YOU'RE SAD NOW, YOU MIGHT STILL FEEL SAD THERE, OKAY? DO YOU UNDERSTAND? THAT MAKES SENSE? OUR TOURS WILL TAKE YOU TO THE MOST BEAUTIFUL PLACES ON EARTH. HIKE TO CLIFFS OFF THE AMALFI COAST. FISH WITH THE NETS IN SORRENTO. DO THIS, I DON'T KNOW. BUT REMEMBER, YOU'RE STILL GOING TO BE YOU ON VACATION. IF YOU ARE SAD WHERE YOU ARE, AND THEN YOU GET ON A PLANE TO ITALY, THE YOU IN ITALY WILL BE THE SAME SAD YOU FROM BEFORE. JUST IN A NEW PLACE. DOES THAT MAKE SENSE? THERE'S A LOT A VACATION CAN DO. HELP YOU UNWIND. SEE SOME DIFFERENT LOOKING SQUIRRELS. BUT IT CANNOT FIX DEEPER ISSUES LIKE HOW YOU BEHAVE IN GROUP SETTINGS OR YOUR GENERAL BASELINE MOOD. THAT'S A JOB FOR INCREMENTAL LIFESTYLE CHANGES SUSTAINED OVER TIME. I WANT TO BE VERY CLEAR ABOUT WHAT WE CAN DO FOR YOU. WE CAN TAKE YOU ON A HIKE. WE CANNOT TURN YOU INTO SOMEONE WHO LIKES HIKING. WE CAN TAKE YOU TO THE ITALIAN RIVIERA. WE CANNOT MAKE YOU FEEL COMFORTABLE IN A BATHING SUIT. WE CAN PROVIDE THE ZIP LINE. WE CANNOT GIVE YOU THE ABILITY TO SAY WHEE AND MEAN IT. YOU'RE NOT YOUR SISTER. WE CAN PROVIDE YOU WITH A WINE TASTING TOUR OF TUSCANY. WE CANNOT CHANGE WHY YOU DRINK. OR THE PERSON YOU BECOME WHEN YOU DO, OKAY? I'M SORRY, BUT IT'S TRUE. AND OUR FRIENDLY TOUR GUIDES ARE HAPPY TO TAKE YOUR PICTURE, BUT REMEMBER, THE PICTURES YOU'RE IN ARE GOING TO HAVE YOU IN THEM. AND IF YOU DON'T LIKE HOW YOU LOOK BACK HOME, IT'S NOT GOING TO GET ANY BETTER ON A GONDOLA. >> RIGHT BEFORE WE WENT IN THE VATICAN, HE TOOK MY FACE IN HIS HANDS AND HE SAID, IF YOU FEEL BAD ABOUT YOURSELF IN A CHURCH BACK HOME, THE VATICAN IS 100% WALL TO WALL CHURCH. >> SO WE WENT FOR 20 MINUTES AND THEN WE WENT BACK TO THE HOTEL AND WATCHED "PADDINGTON 2." >> THE BEST. >> LOVE THE VATICAN. >> THIS MAY SOUND RUDE BUT I'M TRYING TO TEMPER EXPECTATIONS. I HATE SEEING PEOPLE BEAT THEMSELVES UP ON MY TOURS, IT REALLY GETS TO ME. AND PLEASE, IF YOU AND YOUR PARTNER ARE HAVING TROUBLE CONNECTING, WE GUARANTEE OUR TOUR WILL NOT HELP. IF YOU DON'T WANT TO TOUCH EACH OTHER AT HOME, BE REMINDED, IN ITALY YOU'LL HAVE THOSE SAME FEELINGS AND THOUGHTS. LOOK, A DAY IS A LONG TIME TO FEEL HAPPY. FOR ALL OF IT. MOST OF US GET 45 MINUTES IF WE'RE LUCKY. AND THAT'S OUR MOTTO AT ROMANO TOURS. >> Announcer: ROMANO TOURS.

This was such a great sketch

[u/dc912]

I laughed so hard when this aired...took a very unexpected turn.

Lmao, this aired literally a week before we took our first "real" family vacation. We've gone places, here and there, but nothing to brag about. Anyways, I was stressing so hard that whole week leading up to it because of this! We ended up having a great time! Now we are miserable we aren't there!

[u/MeAuldCock]

I thought it was the funniest episode in 5 years

[u/nowhereman136]

I still love the Rectex commercial.

Great sketch.

What was making me laugh when it aired is the prevailing undertone that, although it was probably all wine and roses at the outset, after operating the tour company for two generations, the Romano clan has pretty much heard and seen it all, and can no longer even be bothered to window dress life’s harsh realities.
