Your favourite SNL skit?

[J-girl]

All of you who still watch SNL- which one has been your favourite SNL skit?

For me it has to be the telephone exchange between osama and saddam and more recently its the narnia rap! A fe wmore I can't really think of but will come ot me eventually.

[Mad Dawg]

Way back in the day, it was Lothar Of The Hill People. I loved that skit!

[Ciderhillnh]

Any of the celebrity Jeopardy! ones

Mostly any of the skits from the old late 70s and early 80s SNL.

Also anything with Jimmy Fallon and Rachel Dratch doing the Boston accents....she is from my hometown and she makes fun of people I know!!!

Waynes world
Or the NPR ladies when they had Alec Baldwin on

[tdko]

I can't pick one, but here's a bunch:

* Lazy Sunday
* The horny Italian bellboys (Adam Sandler and Rob Schneider--don't recall the 3rd one). They molest Kevin Nealon.
* Sharon Stone and the airport metal detector
* "I'll take 'The Rapists' for $300."
* "...living in a van down by the river!"
* The Linda Richmond sketch where Barbara Streisand shows up. Like buttuh!

EDIT:

How could I forget:

"I've got a fever. And the only prescription. Is more cowbell."

[pisces2473]

All Celebrity Jeopardy
All the Boston sketches
DEFINITELY the one where Will Ferrell was playing Jesus and he hurts himself and says, "Oh my dad!" instead of "Oh my God!"

The Colonel Angus one...said with a southern accent ;)

Alec Baldwin's Schwety Balls

Opera...maaaaaan!!!!!

[crystal_dance]

definitely "more cowbells" - Cristopher Walken and Will Ferrell are hilarious.

[LakeJay]

A couple that come to mind are "More Cowbell" and Chris Farley and Patrick Swayze competing for a job as a Chippendales dancer. OH and the synchronized swimming piece with Harry Shearer and Martin Short.

[pisces2473]

Another one...the "Christmas comes once a year" band with Jimmy, Will, etc.

[J-girl]

Oh yayy I totally forgot about celebrity jeopardy!!!! :D
Another one was where Will ferrell wears the american flag for underwear and show up for "patriot day" :D

SNL seriously sucks now. It has started to get a bit better though!

Yeah Adam Sandler at the Greek place!

OH and the Phil Hartmann sketches were jokes too. RIP :(

[heatherf]

My all time fave was when Jerry Seinfeld hosted and did the skit "Stand Up and Win"

"If it mc comes from where I mc think it does....I don't want to mc eat it!"

"Count Chocola....I mean, are we supposed to be afraid of this guy?"

"Who are the ad wizards that came up with that one?"

"Oprah. She's fat, she's thin, she's fat, she's thin.... I mean, pick a body and go with it!"

"Grape nuts. You open it up, no grapes, no nuts......what's the deal?"

[shinyleaf]

Huge fan.

My faves:

Phil McCracken, Scottish Therapist, also, "If it's no' Scottish, it's CRAAAP"

Anybody else have the SNL Trivial Pursuit? It's friggin' hard.

[wordsmith]

Haaaaaa, I was JUST posting "Unfrozen Caveman Lawyer!"

[heatherf]

Haaaaaa, I was JUST posting "Unfrozen Caveman Lawyer!"
Yes yes yes! "I'm just a caveman....."

"demons in your fax machine!"

[pisces2473]

My other fave is when Lucy Lawless played Stevie Nicks, at her "fajita round-up" restaurant.

[Deadend]

The recent hermione's breasts harry potter thing was fantastic.

[Forecaster18]

It is a little before our times, but you should check out "James Brown's Celebrity Hot Tub Party."

[dillydally]

So many to pick from, but a pretty recent favorite I haven't seen mentioned yet iis Trump's House of Wings (and Al Shartpon's Casa de Sushi too). Can't resist dancing chickens, I guess!

[girlinterrupted]

My other fave is when Lucy Lawless played Stevie Nicks, at her "fajita round-up" restaurant.

"Now here you go again, you said, you want burr-i-tos..." I sing that line whenever I hear that song!

I also like Will Ferrell as George Bush. Classic stuff.

[J-girl]

I also like Will Ferrell as George Bush. Classic stuff.

Yup I love all the Bush/Clinton impersonations!

And lately I have been LOVING the O'Reilley factor. LOL the "no spin zone"!!

[steph78]

One of my favorites was Janet Reno's Dance Party, the time they got the REAL Janet Reno to come on and she and Will Ferrell were standing there next to each other in their blue dresses - hilarious!

I also love a lot of the commercials. One from way back that I thought was great was the one for the Adobe Car. :)

[mishl982]

I loved the cowboy skit.

Also the Spartan cheerleaders and the mom/dad duet with Will and Ana.

I also loved the 7 Degrees Celsius skits back when I was boyband crazy.

[ut_bill]

I loved the first "Debbie Downer" skit when Lindsey Lohan was the host and they were a family at Disney World.

Back in the day, I loved the first time Garth Brooks hosted and they did the "Old French Whore" gameshow.

[midtwenty]

Cowbell is the best EVER. Hands down. But the Jeopardy ones are hilarious too.

"I'll take Anal Bum Cover for $1000 Alex."
:lol: :lol: :lol:

[TheBeve]

Toonces The Driving Cat

[steph78]

Toonces The Driving Cat
Oh, I love Toonces the Driving Cat! My husband's family adopted a stray cat once that was the spitting image of the Toonces on SNL, so that's what they named him! Their Toonces was around for a good 15 years or so - he just recently passed away. :( I am not usually a cat person, but I loved that Toonces, he was the nicest cat.

[MetFanL]

I have to admit, I thought the skit where they made Derek Jeter Soriano's wife and sat him in the stands was awesome -- especially when David Cone and David Wells showed up as groupies. Great sketch.

[Brillo25]

Maybe it's my German roots, but I was always a big fan of "Sprockets" with Mike Myers as Deiter. Even if the rest of the sketch was bad, you could always look forward to "Now is the time on Sprockets ven ve dance!"

[Skyblade]

The best skit ever had to be the Philip the hyper hypo (Mike Myers/Nicole Kidman). "One time my mom gave me a snickers bar and a can of coke and I towed the car home"

[girlinterrupted]

The best skit ever had to be the Philip the hyper hypo (Mike Myers/Nicole Kidman). "One time my mom gave me a snickers bar and a can of coke and I towed the car home"

I loved that one because it reminded me of my my brother! I'm not sure if Myers always wore the "child harness" in every skit, but there was one where he was in the harness and tied like a dog to a jungle gym. My brother lived in his child harness until he was 5 or so.

I also liked when Myers did Simon. "Well you know my name is Simon, and I like to do drarwings."

[Benwa]

Oops I Crapped My Pants.
The Ambiguosly Gay Duo
Phil Hartman doing Sinatra
Dana Carvey as Bush
Both Bill Clintons, Hammond and Hartman
Belushi doing Joe Cocker singin "With a little help from my friends"

[Brillo25]

The best skit ever had to be the Philip the hyper hypo (Mike Myers/Nicole Kidman). "One time my mom gave me a snickers bar and a can of coke and I towed the car home"
Oh my God, I remember seeing that the first time when he got ultra-hyper at the end and uprooted the jungle gym and started running down the street towing it behind him, I almost peed myself.

[wordsmith]

I got the Best of Mike Myers for Christmas, and the Hyper Hypo is on it, as well as Simon and his drawrings, Dieter, Linda Richman, naturally Wayne Campbell, and lots of others. I love Mike Myers so. He's single again, you know...

[and1grad]

I dont think I've watched nearly enough SNL but some of my faves were "More Cowbell," Spartans, & Schwetti Balls.

I forgot...the Roxbury guys with Jim Carrey KILL me everytime I watch it.

[tdko]

Darrell Hammond as Bill Clinton is the best! His impersonations were always amazing.

[dillydally]

I loved the first "Debbie Downer" skit when Lindsey Lohan was the host and they were a family at Disney World.

Back in the day, I loved the first time Garth Brooks hosted and they did the "Old French Whore" gameshow.

Debbie Downer is usually pretty funny...I pretty much love the ones when they crack up while trying to get through it. One reason I love the Christmas song skits and the More Cowbell one too!

By the way, SNL skits are now available through iTunes! Though it's pretty expensive to buy a whole "Best Of" show...

[Morgan81]

Eddie Murphy had some great ones, as well as most Belushi ones from way back.
That and the Japanese game show with Myers, Farley, Alec Baldwin and Janeane Garofalo.

[wordsmith]

That and the Japanese game show with Myers, Farley, Alec Baldwin and Janeane Garofalo.

That's on the Best of Mike Myers.

[LakeJay]

That's on the Best of Mike Myers.

I think they put it on The Best of Farley too.

[lilyflower]

More Cowbell! I loved that sketch, actually Will Ferrell's stuff always cracked me up. I mean, even little things like the dinner scene when Sarah Michelle Gellar was hosting and the family is at dinner and fighting and he just yells out "I have a Dodge Stratus!"

For some reason, that cracks me up to this day.

[yankeeyosh]

I don't think I've seen a full episode of SNL since the early 90s, but one of my favs was Coffee Talk (or Caaawfee Taaawk)

[Forecaster18]

Will Ferrell as Neil Diamond was hilarious as well.

Neil rocks.

[ebruening]

One of my favorites was Janet Reno's Dance Party, the time they got the REAL Janet Reno to come on and she and Will Ferrell were standing there next to each other in their blue dresses - hilarious!

HA! I LOVED that one! My favorite would have to be "The Continental." Classic! The best "newer" SNL skit would be with Rachel Dratch and Will Ferrell as the hottub "lovahs." "Oh, look at those tiny chickens!"

[ebruening]

"I'll take Anal Bum Cover for $1000 Alex."
:lol: :lol: :lol:

"And your answer?" "Buck." "And your wager?" "Futter." "Buck Futter." "You know what that means, Trebeck!" :D

[dazed]

great thread!!

i have to say i'm a big fan of impersonations. dana carvey as senior bush. will ferrell as junior bush. hartman and hammond were/are EXCELLENT!!!

one of my favorite skits is the one with chris kattan and will ferrell i think it was...dancing to haddaway's "baby don't hurt me." LOL!!! hysterical! and the other one with britney dancing.

love the "van down by the river" and lots more from the 90s. i'm sure there was lots of good stuff in the 80s too. haven't gotten around to seeing it.

is there some sort of curse at SNL? so many of them have died an untimely death :(
