On January 19, 1991, Rob Schneider’s Saturday Night Live character Richard “The Richmeister” Laymer made his first appearance on the show.
Dressed in crisp business attire, Schneider disappeared into the role of an annoying officemate who can’t help but comment every time a coworker decides to make a copy—and has no idea how annoying he is while doing so.
“The Steve-Man and the Sandster, makin’ copies!” he exclaims to characters played by Julia Sweeney and the late Phil Hartman, while to a fellow employee portrayed by Mike Myers, he says, “The Tomster, makin’ copies! Mr. Tom! Tommy!” Schneider’s enthusiasm only grows more obvious—his irritating nature that much more palpable—before his debut culminates with an appearance by musical guest Sting. “Sting! Dr. Stinglehoffer! Makin’ copies! The McStingster! Stingatolla! Sting! Stinga linga ding dong… dong.” To punctuate the ending, he stretches out the final line with relish: “Stiiiiiing!”
