What are your favorite SNL sketches?

did you try searching on "saturday night live"?

the one where eddie murphy "goes undercover
"White Like Me"?

I have always enjoyed the fake SNL ads. In the past few years I was amused by the one for "Dr. Porkenheimer's Boner Juice," as well as for the ad for "Mom Jeans" ("Because you're not a woman anymore; you're a MOM!" Possibly this is only funny to mothers, though).

In the more distant past, definitely Phil Hartman as President-Elect Clinton, jogging with the Secret Service to McDonald's... where he eats other people's food.

"Hello. My name is Jesse Jackson and I'm a Libra..."

Sandler's "The Denise Show," which was mildly amusing in itself but they did a Buckwheat after the second or third episode by having Brian get a new girlfriend and cancelling the show on-air. Hartman also good as the call-in father.

"You put your weed in it" > "Jarrod's Room" for bong humor.

That "Chris Farley Show" episode w/McCartney in which he actually has a good show makes me tear up a bit now.

Oh, THAT'S what's funny about it!

also: stevie nicks fajita roundup

oh god yes

We dont get SNL here (tho it might be on cable but I dont have cable) so I have seen very very little of the show, just the Hartman stuff, and a few random other things.

Colon blow? Not so sure. I'll need to watch it again tonight and check.

Only one unfrozen caveman lawyer skit!

And tbh I didnt find the sinatra/sinead o'connor thing all that funny. I'm not sure why. I mean it was ok...

It's funny to me because it's the one series of sketches where they're actually required to repeat the same joke over and over within the skit as it's essential to the story arc, or lack thereof. As opposed to "Debbie Downer" or the European Art Dealers thing or whatever which repeat themselves note for note every episode for no good reason other than that's how they do things around SNL.

Jon Lovitz as Satan in People's Court, being sued by white tash mother and daughter.

Jay Mohr (otherwise dud) as Christopher Walken doing Skittles commercial.

Christopher Walken as the Continental; and the Dead Zone rip-off sketch.

Tracey Morgan as Uncle Jemima selling mash liquor. (!!!)

Jim Carrey (who I happened to wait on in my restraunt tonight) infomercial 'Ride the Snake' pills.

Joh Belushi as overweight olympic promoting Little Chocolate Doughnuts ("They've been on my training table since I was a kid.")

Chevy Chase as Land Shark.

Chris Farley as Matt Foley, with Adam Sandler in the Schlitz Gay commerical, promoting the anti-smoking lung brush, drinking Hiber-Nol and waking up with a huge beard a couple months later.

Mike Myers as Philip the Hyper Hypo and promoting british sugar toothpaste.

Robot attack insurance, Big Red the blood-spurting viking, bathroom monkey ("monkey hate clean"), andt least one of the sketches where everyone ends up vomiting via a poorly-hidden tube in their sleeve..

Finally: "Do Not Taunt Happy Fun Ball."

too bad all the murphy/piscopo years are in some sort of rights limbo. there's so many great sketches that no one's seen in yearrrrrss

and that was DAMN funny. ana gasteyer as barbara streisand auditioning for princess leia haha

I'll second "Sinatra Group." And mention another sketch from that same show -- Hartman as Frankenstein monster. (Scott, your brother never answered when I asked if his band's name came from that bit.)

And the very first sketch: "I would like to feed your fingertips to the wolverines."

"next question: this crap with MTV, with the nudity and all, what is this crap? sinbad o'connor!"
"well, i think it's bloody awful but it's typical of entertainment in a male-dominated society."
"boo-hoo. you had me and then you lost me. billy idol!"
"i think they're a bunch of tight-assed old farts."
"shut up! luther campbell!"
"well, that's my bread and butter, man!"
"no, you're wrong, schoolboy, you don't need to do that blue stuff! stay away from that stuff, kid, you got talent!"
"but i don't HAVE any talent!"

And ya thanks all: Kevin Spacey it was. I used to have ab avi clip of that, I lost it tho :(

elvis: "which one of you is the leader?"
paul: "i'm the leader!"
elvis: "then tell goldman he's outta the band."
paul: "oh! the leeeeeeeader. john's the leader."

"Thank heaven for little girls
For little girls wear tiny underpants
And sometimes they go out walking in the woods alone . . . "

"I'm . . . gon . . . na . . .
Get me a shotgun and kill all the whities I see!
Get me a shotgun and kill all the whities I see!
And when I kill all the whities I see
Then whitey he won't bother me!
I'm gonna get me a shotgun and kill all the whities I see!

I'm gonna find me a white woman in a navy-blue sweater! . . . "

I was an SNL nut from the beginning, and sort of hated Linda Ellerbee and Lloyd Dobbins for pre-empting it once a month. So many great recurring characters in the first seasons, esp. Lisa Loopner & Todd de la Muca and the Norge repairman. "Poor Mr. Loopner, born without a spine...God rest his soul..."

I generally love the running gag of having Tarzan, Frankenstein and Tonto do stuff together -- The soap opera called "As World Turns," The Feliz Navidad where they sing "We Want Wish You Merry Christmas" and Frankenstein is just going "Yuh yuhhh yuh." And of course, Succinctly Speaking. "Fire BAAAAD!"

x-post

i shot beer through my nose the first time i saw that.

SO FUCKING FUNNY

this was lifted completely from a monty python episode though

I think my favorite all time thing on SNL was the martin short/harry shearer synchronized swimming film.

(Is that Julia Louis-Dreyfus?)

I'd love to see the whole "Buckwheat is Dead" episode with all of the follow ups they did in the following weeks. They really edit it down on the best of Eddie Murphy. The original sketch is really long and runs about the first 30 minutes or so of the episode. There was a really funny follow up sketch a few weeks later where they are doing Nightline and showing a sting operation on Buckwheat, where he has a bunch of hookers and cocaine in a hotel room. I'd love to see all of those sketches edited together back to back, I thought they were genius when I was a kid.

Canteen Boy - Alec Baldwin & Adam Sandler

this is such a great weird sketch, almost feels more Kids In The Hall-ish than SNL:

Jesse Jackson's game show, "The Question Is Moot"

Still get "The question is moot; since I'm the host, I get the car" running through my head sometimes. Or whatever the line was.

Surprisingly,

Your search - saturday night live bjorn bjorgasms - did not match any documents.

Because that Kazurinsky Weekend Update skit is maybe my favorite of any.

Ah, excuse me, "borgasms."

Nymphomaniacs have let's-do-it-some-moregasms.
Race car drivers have four-on-the-floorgasms.
Salesmen have "door-to-doorgasms".
Abraham Lincoln had four-scoregasms.
I was married to a man who had snoregasms (well, that was *his* excuse).
Golfers have foregasms.
Hockey players have... Bobby Orrgasms.
Miners have ore-gasms.
Tennis players have Bjorn Borgasms
Grocers have storegasms.
Marco Polo had exploregasms.
Guys who suffer from premature ejaculation have beforegasms.
Newlyweds have let's-do-it-till-we're-soregasms.
But they soon turn into I-got-mine-you-get-yourgasms.

remembering that my knowledge of snl sketches comes solely from re-runs on aussie cable tv and youtube

lazy sunday = the best

Man, I really want to see the Orbit & Larry sketch. The one with "I GOT THE ICE IN ME!" But NBC blocked it on youtube and of course didn't bother putting it on Hulu.

https://screen.yahoo.com/tales-ribaldry-wench-wife-boot-000000408.html

Tales of Ribaldry: The Wench, The Wife, and the Bootblack. Guest starring Tom Hanks. Jon Lovitz as OTT fop with silly reaction shots is LOL.

Listen to him roll those r's!

Was listening to an interview with Martin Short a few weeks ago and he said the whole reason this sketch exists is because he and another SNL writer were cracking themselves up all day with the word "moot" and they threw together a really loose idea for the sketch and pitched it to Jackson fully expecting him to pass. He loved it as much as they did.

the Jerry Seinfeld gameshow with the three Seinfeld imposters was amazing. but I have no clue what it was or how to find it.

That sketch Billy Crystal as Sammy Davis Jr on a game show kind of like $10000 Pyramid with Christopher Guest as his partner killed me the first time I saw it.

Yes! Jackie Rogers Jr.'s $100,000 Jackpot Wad!

the one where eddie murphy "goes undercover as a white man" and everyone is giving him money and free newspapers

This might be my all-time favorite SNL sketch/film/whatever. Even the way Eddie walked was brilliant.

Eddie Murphy as Clarence Walker, the saxophonist fifth member of The Beatles.

"Hey, Paul! Let's get rid of Clarence and steal all his good ideas!"

https://vimeo.com/8904532

His version of "Love Me Do" is amazing.

Seriously. I wish there was a full version of that around somewhere.

In the more distant past, definitely Phil Hartman as President-Elect Clinton, jogging with the Secret Service to McDonald's... where he eats other people's food.

Not sure if it was the exact same sketch, but the one I'm thinking of ended with the cops at the Governor's mansion on a domestic-disturbance call; Hillary/Jan Smithers hisses something at one point, and Bill/Hartman kind of rolls his eyes and says, "But she loves me..."

Pryor-Chase job interview

PET CHOW
*woof woof*
PET CHOW

thats pretty much hall of fame tv period

And to think that was only the show's seventh episode!

Different skit. The McDonald's one was a fake CNN live report from one of Clinton's morning jogs. The Cops one was "COPS: In Little Rock", a parody of the Fox series. they later went back to that well for a "Real Stories of The Highway Patrol" (syndicated "COPS" knock-off from the mid '90s) sendup chronicling Clinton's alleged ride-alongs with the AHP cruising for women. John Goodman hosted that one.

Thanks. Couldn't find a clip, just a transcript--I had the line right but the set-up a little wrong.

Officer #1: Now, ma'am, when's this gonna stop? [ Hillary looks away ] Look at me! Look at me when I'm talking to you, don't look away! When's this gonna stop?

Hillary Clinton: I don't know.

Officer #1: You don't know? Well, I'll tell you something - this is the fifth or sixth time we've come down here this month, and we're getting a little tired of it. [ turns to Bill ] Do you wanna press charges for assault?

Bill Clinton: Nah, that's okay.

Officer #1: Well, I can tell you, sir, you know...unless you press charges, we can't do nothing about it. Now...she's gonna keep on doing this. And, one of these days, sir, she's gonna kill you.

Bill Clinton: [ smirks ] But...she loves me.

and the 60 Minutes parody expose of the novelty toy industry from the same era with Shearer, Christopher Guest and Short.
