Martin Short as slimy lawyer Nathan Thurm, Chris Walken as "The Continental" and as Bruce Dickinson in the More Cowbell skit, Eddie Murphy as Mister Robinson, Bill Murray and Buck Henry in the Lord and Lady Douchebag skit. Many Many others. I like when Kate McKinnon does Rudy and Jeff Sessions.

Wow, how long ago was that? 80's?

Never knew she was on a a guest host.

"Bag of glass" was one of the funniest things I've ever seen! :LOL:

Colonel Angus
Cork Soaker
Bad Idea Jeans commerical
Anal Retentive Chef (Hartman)
Cowbell
The Continental
McKinnon in the Alien Abduction sketch
Caveman Lawyer


there's been a lot of good ones over the years.

It's more recent but the Andy Gibb Talk Show was good. Murphy as Buckwheat

Early 90s, probably. It was with Mike Myers.

"We buy these products that we're told are so simple to use, then we get them home and it's just a big lie! Like the Holocaust."

(all the phones light up)

ROFLROFL

Both excellent and funny.

Also "Pepper Boy"

Dick in a Box

Amazon Mothers Day

Joe Piscopo did a wonderful Sinatra, but I think Phil Hartman's Sinatra Group was the best ever. "You don't scare me Blondie, I got chunks of guys like you in my stool!"

Gonna have to go with Farley's Chippendale skit.

Hartman was maybe the best member of that show's history. What's about as cool was the time that Jon Lovitz kicked Andy Dicks ass for talking shit about the Hartman's in a club years ago

LOL I forgot about Unfrozen Caveman Lawyer.

"I'm just a simple caveman, your modern inventions confuse me"

90's SNL was the best

This skit always cracked me up...Shatner destroying Star Trek groupies.

Yes, that one. And this one.....

Dysfunctional Family Feud

Ha....this article seems timely given this thread's appearance....

Will Ferrell says Christopher Walken is annoyed by 'SNL' cowbell sketch

Christopher Walken would really prefer less cowbell.

The 76-year-old cult film icon apparently feels scarred from a popular “Saturday Night Live” skit he was part of during the 25th season of the late-night NBC show in 2000.

In it, the guest host played Blue Oyster Cult producer Bruce Dickinson, who instructs fictional band member Gene Frenkle — portrayed by then-cast member Will Ferrell — to use “more cowbell” on the group’s landmark hit “Don’t Fear the Reaper.”

The skit also featured Chris Kattan, Chris Parnell, Horatio Sanz and Jimmy Fallon (who has a hard time keeping himself from laughing throughout the sketch).

“Guess what? I got a fever, and the only prescription is more cowbell!” Walken implores before the group records the track during the nearly six-minute-long skit.

Ferrell, 52, who returns to host the show for the fifth time this Saturday, shared Walken’s feelings Thursday during a visit to “The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon.” He said he visited Walken backstage at a theater performance many years after the sketch aired and the actor told him, “You know, you’ve ruined my life.”

Walken — who won a 1979 Oscar for Best Actor in a Supporting Role for “The Deer Hunter” — reportedly told Ferrell that his fans are a bit overzealous about the sketch.

“‘People during the curtain call bring cowbells and ring them. The other day I went for an Italian food lunch and the waiter asked if I wanted more cowbell with my pasta bolognese,'” Ferrell said Walken told him backstage. “And I think he was really mad at me. He had a little smile, but …”

Ferrell, who said he will spend Thanksgiving with family in Boston this year, suggested that Walken’s career only has three high points.

“From ‘The Deer Hunter’ to ‘Pulp Fiction’ to ‘More Cowbell’ — that’s all he gets,” Ferrell said. “What are ya gonna do?”

Let’s hope Harry Styles — who hosted “SNL” last weekend — doesn’t have a similar reaction to a now-infamous sketch he did involving Sara Lee cakes.

https://www.foxnews.com/entertainmen...ed-cowbell-snl

didn't he refer to Jan Hooks' Sinead O'Connor as 'cue ball".

LMAO

Dana Carvey's "The McCloughin Group" (or whatever it was called" was great.


gets progressively more loud and frequent with his interruptions of the guest's takes/opinions. "WRONG!"

I was under the impression that this due to the OP seeing this article earlier. Ferrell's talented, but rather neurotic. I'm not going into his feud with Bush. But he pissed off James Caan on the set of Elf. He pissed off Caan just to help some friction between their characters in a comedy. He's a comic genius, but also very difficult

Next issue – Rita Hayworth or Ava Gardner, who would you rather nail? I disqualify myself, because I’ve done them both

The Joe Montana: "I'm going to go masturbate now" skit.

The Robert Duval, Garth Brooks: "Damn, that's grizzled" skit

And the best one if only because how unbelievably shocking it is today - Chevy Chase and Richard Pryor - "DEAD honkey...."

Here it is. The Sinatra Group

https://www.nbc.com/saturday-night-l...a-group/n10008

This is amazing.

If only because this ACTUALLY happened to Mike Meyes after he was the poor bastard informercial guy in the skit.

REAL LIFE WAS MORE AWKWARD!!

Poor Mike Myers - Heather Locklear really should've prepared him for it.

No idea what my favorite is, but for some reason the first thing that came to mind was Farley "OVER THE WEEKEND YA STUPID BITCH!"

I almost forgot about Puppet Class with Bill Hader.

my god it was great.

I completely forgot about that one - the phones in the background were hilarious.

This reminds me of one of the best opening monologues - Joe Montegna is hosting and a dad starts ushering out his disappointed kid who's wearing a Joe Montana jersey. "No problem, just a bit of a mix-up"

Everything that guy does is great. From Superbad to Barry

FOUND IT!

Can't figure out how to embed it. It's pretty amazing.

"You couldn't buy it that cheap off a drunk Indian!"

This one comes to mind:

David Spades Hollywood minute. Spade was fearless and would talk shit about everyone. He famously pissed off Eddie Murphy by saying “look a falling star, make a wish”.

Ferrel's "Lovahs", "Cowbell", Robert Goulet, and "good morning tv show"
Headwound Harry
Sandler and Farley as the old couple, reading through the dining guide
Sandler and Farley - Schmitts gay beer
celebrity Jeopardy with Turd Ferguson and Sean Connery
Martin short and chris guest synchronized pool routine
Martin short - Jackie Rogers Junior
Billy Crystal (and Guest) doing the minkmans (joke factory)
Billy Crystal as Sammy Davis Jr and Fernando
Piscopo as Sinatra and Eddie as stevie wonder
Eddie Murphy - Mr Robinson

Does TV Funhouse count, because it's reliably the hardest I've laughed at SNL over the years.

One of my favorites is actually pretty recent. It was called translator. It was a dog that they put a translator on and he started talking pro Trump. The owner and the people she was showing to all got offended. Hilarious.

Joe Piscapo and Eddie Murphy as Frank Sinatra and Stevie Wonder duet Ebony and Ivory.

Anything Phil Hartman did was priceless. Clinton in Mcdonalds was the best.

Also Will Ferrell "We need more Cowbell" Blue Oyster Cult "Don't Fear the Reaper"...and you got Christopher Walken as producer Bruce Dickinson.

How can I forget, I actually bought the Hadaway CD.

Great idea for a thread. Bringing back a lot of memories. Most of my favorites have already been mentioned. A few that I don't think have been brought up:

Eddie Murphy going undercover as a white guy.
The "K-I-L my landlord" prison authors bit.
Dana Carvey as Tom Brokaw announcing the death of Gerald Ford.
Chris Farley finding out he's been drinking decaf.
John Belushi performing with Joe Cocker.

Digging deep to find that one. Comedy Central used to run the 80s era SNL episodes all the time.


Anybody mentioned Old Glory Robot Insurance or Massive Headwound Harry?

I'm from a younger generation, and mine is definitely dick in a box.

Most of the good ones have already been mentioned. Here is one that I didn't see mentioned.

The King Kong Skit where Salma Hayek jerks off King Kong.

Salem Bitch Trials with host Shannen Dougherty

Jon Lovitz, as Tommy Flanagan, President of Pathological Liars
Tim Meadows as Ladies Man
Merv the Perv
Tina Fey as Sarah Palin
Sandler as Opera Man
Jon Lovitz as Annoying Man
Toonces the Cat
Garrett Morris in the Prison Talent Auditions "Get me a shotgun and kill all the whiteys I see....."
Akroyd as Jimmy Carter talking a phone caller down from a bad acid trip

OOOOOh, one I'd forgotten about

Sweet sassy mollassy, get out the checkbook and pay grandma for the rubdown!!

https://www.nbc.com/saturday-night-l...-romano/n11217

I don't know about you, but my peeny just went uuuunmmph?!?!

Eddie Murphy had some skit where he was a prison poet that was funny. And Mr. Robinson's neighborhood. And the stuck ride on the Small World ride at Disneyland. And he also really embraced the role of Buckwheat. Pretty much any peak Murphy worked.

I liked when Tarzan, Tonto, and Frankenstein sang Christmas carols.

The Chippendale audition. And when Farley would interview famous people. "Remember that?" And Matt Foley, motivational speaker.

I'm sure I'm missing some of my favorites that I don't recall.

Oh, yeah. The undercover white guy and Tom Brokaw were fantastic. Brokaw might be the best one ever.

They weren't skits, but I really liked the Jack Handey observations.

Nicolas Cage picking out baby names is another under the radar classic.

https://www.nbc.com/saturday-night-l...y-names/n10279

The last reminds me of some skit where there was a witchcraft trial. John Belushi was the prosecuting attorney. The judge told him to present his case and he stood up, reviewed some papers, and then pointed and yelled, "WIIIIIIIIIIIITCH!" It was hilarious.

This one was quite the phenomenon when it aired. Plus, I liked green dancer.

Off the top of my head, this skit provided the most WTF unexpected hilarious laughter in recent years...

Most of my favorites have already been listed. Has anyone brought up "Orgasm Guy" or "Mr. Bill"?

Super Bass-O-Matic
Mister Robinson's Neighborhood
Buh-Weet Sings
Lisa Loopner & Todd

I’ll say it.


This show USED to be damn funny.


In b4 some woke kids hit me with the stunningly witty ‘ok boomer’ response

Lucy Lawless at Stevie Nicks fajita house

Bill shader as the homeless guy who won’t make lewd gestures at Jennifer Aniston

That’s just a few off the top

Chippendales and Matt Foley are the best.

And I can't believe nobody mentioned the Debbie Downer skits.
