What are your favorite SNL skits of all time?

Lord Chainsaw · 05-20-2004, 05:25 PM

Saturday Night Live has been on for a good 30 or so years, and there's been plenty of funny skits on that show.

Out of all the skits they've ever done, which ones are your favorites?
It was tough for me to narrow it down to 5, but I have narrowed down my favorite Saturday Night Live skits.

1. Cowbell - This is the funniest skit of all time. Christopher Walken and the cowbell. "I got a fever, and the only prescription is more cowbell!"

2. Chris Farley the motivational speaker - "I live in a VAN DOWN BY THE RIVER!"

3. Schmidt's Gay - I believe this one had Adam Sandler and someone else... it was quite funny.

4. The pepper shaker - I forget who was in this one, but it had these two perverted Italian waiters putting pepper on their customer's food just to get a look at women's breasts. "You like a the peppa?"

5. The Ladies Man - Yeah, so the movie wasn't that great. It works a lot better when it's a 5 minute skit. It was pretty funny.

SNL skits?

I've never really been a huge fan of SNL. I do have Adam Sandler's greatest SNL moments or whatever, and I'd have to say that Opera Man is quite hillarious.

The Cow Bell one with Christopher Walken is great, but I think that it's overrated as skits go. Same goes for the Celebrity Jeopardy ones.

Continuous skits I like:
~Toonces
~Waynes World
~Matt Foley: Motivational Speaker
~The Continental
~Mr. Bill
~Sprockets
~Bill Swerski's Super Fans
~Deep Thoughts with Jack Handy
~Dog Show
~NPR
~Seinfeld OZ
~Space: The Infinite Frontier
~Inside the Actors Studio
(There are so many more, that I can't think of right now...)

Other things...
Best Actor: Phil Hartman
Best Actress: Molly Shannon
Best Weekend Update: Norm McDonald
Best Host: Christopher Walken
Best Musical Guest: Neil Young

"The Basa-balla has a beena berry gooda to mea"

"We're two wild and crazy guys!"

"Jane, you ignorant slut!"

"King Tut."

Land Shark was always wonderful as well.

Basically every skit from the first four seasons was classic.

Take care all.

Hey Norm. If you were a hot dog, and you were starving, would you eat yourself?

I know I would. I'd smother myself in brown mustard and relish.... I'd be so delicious.

Celebrity Jeopardy with Sean Connery.

"I'll take The Rapists for $100."
"That's therapists."
