Name your all time favorite SNL skit

[mtnester]

Mine - Farley & Swazey "Chippendales"

[terrya]

1. "The Sinatra Group" eom

[mtnester]

2. Guys like you...

in my stool...SO funny

[Beaverhausen]

16. YES

I was going to say that. Phil Hartman as Ol Blue Eyes kept calling Sinead O'Conner names like "Uncle Fester" and "Cueball"


and since I'm newly signed up but a long time lurker I have to ask...what does eom stand for?

[terrya]

23. eom= End of message. Nice to see you posting. :-)

[dolo amber]

35. Also the sketch

when he's recording the "Duets" album, and his assistant comes in ..."Mr. Sinatra, next on your schedule is Bono, from the rock group U2"

"Bone-o? Never heard of 'im...NEXT!"

:D

[terrya]

37. But Phil Hartman's Sinatra. Joe Piscopo's Sinatra was too reverential.

[dolo amber]

40. Oh yes...Hartman

was GOD. :cry:

(See my post downthread. ;))

[ironflange]

49. "I got chunks of guys like you in my stool"

[wysimdnwyg]

3. The Blues Brothers

Nobody will every be able to top Belushi and Aykroyd at their best.

[mtnester]

7. There are so many

Even the most simplest one I ever saw..."What in the hell is that?"

I have to chose on the ones that brought tears to my eyes do to laughter...hard to pick

Basmaster, cheeseburger cheesburger, Julie Child arm cut off, quarry cereal...on and on

[GCP]

4. Ronald Reagan is really a hands-on Clintonesque president

Rattling off jokes in Farsi, talking in German to a swiss bank, all his aides fall asleep because he's going 24/7, then when he has a photo-op, the maps all go away and and his head starts nodding - "I hate this part of the job - oh, hello little girl".
Priceless.

[Lisa]

30. "Masterbrain", with the late Phil Hartman ...

For the uninitiated, here's the transcript.

http://snltranscripts.jt.org/86/86fmasterbrain.phtml

[ironflange]

51. That one gets my vote

[wyldwolf]

43. Eddie Murphy talking about George Washington Carver

...who died trying to play a recording with a peanut.

[Beware the Beast Man]

5. Neil Diamond-Storytellers

"I wrote this song after I killed a drifter to get an erection!"

[Another Bill C.]

6. Christopher Walken's

first "Continental" skit where he decides to light up while behind the two-way mirror in his bathroom.

As I recall, The Continental was an old radio piece that I think was supposed to turn women on in the '40s.

[SarahB]

17. There's a parody one of Jay Mohr as Walken doing a Skittles commercial

That one's funny as hell.

[Richardo]

26. Kevin Spacey doing the Star Wars auditions as Walken, Matthau, etc

Hilarious.

[Richardo]

"Strategery."

"Lockbox."

[Burma Jones]

9. Samauri Anything

[chelsea0011]

10. Chevy Chase and Richard Pryor doing word associations for job interview

"Dead Honky"

No this isn't going to be any variety show you have ever seen before.

[TacticalPeek]

11. The Days of Gorch

http://www.toughpigs.com/anth02june.htm

[Bunny]

12. It's a dessert topping!

No, it's a floor wax!

Jane Curtain and Dan Aykroyd. What was the name of the product? New Finish, or something? Anyone remember? I am really dating myself, but I found so much of their early stuff to be far superior to the later years.

I did enjoy Farrell and Hammond doing Bush and Gore, especially the Odd Couple one, where they both shared the WH (aired during the FL recount).

[gmoney]

147. Shimmer... it's a floor wax AND a dessert topping.

MMM, this tastes great...

...and just look at that shine!

[mitchum]

13. The parody of The Twilight Zone's "Eye of the Beholder" episode

[4_Legs_Good]

14. Does Jesse Jackson reading "Green Eggs and Ham" count?

Does *anyone* have a copy of that on video? Best segment ever.

I also like the hearings of Clarance Thomas.

[Feanorcurufinwe]

90. That's my favorite.

[Slit Skirt]

15. too many

Samurai
Blues Bros
Buckwheat sings
Mr Robinson's neighborhood
Janet Jackson doing Condi Rice
the copy boy "the paper meister"....

and the list goes on and on

[tigerbeat]

18. no contest: "Dueling Brandos"

although for some reason the "celebrity jeopardy" skits never fail to please me.

[Beware the Beast Man]

20. "You wagered 'Suck it Trebek'"

Just about died when I saw that.

[tigerbeat]

28. "i'll have 'the rapists' for $100"

urine running down my leg first time i heard that. although taking sean connery seriously was a heavy load prior to "celebrity jeopardy" i just cannot listen to him speak without thinking of it.

[Beware the Beast Man]

33. "Swords!"

"It's S-Words!"

[Endangered Specie]

100. Ill have the Penis Mightier

[fudge stripe cookays]

64. "Anal Bum Cover!"

I still lose it when that one comes on.

[solinvictus]

110. Don't forget the guy as Hilary Swank!

"Ah am a girl!"

[kodi]

79. that was the best & 2nd being belushi singing like joe cocker

watching peter boyle and belushi mumbling like brando in the godfather still makes me laugh just thinking about it.

[Mz Pip]

19. Al Gore playing Trent Lott

Belushi's Samuri Deli

Little Drummer Boy being sung by the guys as they "rum pa pa pum" on their stomachs. Chris Farley was hysterical.

The Florida recount one where Bush is playing with a ball of string on the couch.

MzPip
:dem:

[UrbScotty]

21. Bush v. Clinton v. Perot in 1992 debate (nt)

[SarahB]

22. Farley's "I live in a van down by the river" guy

[battleknight24]

86. That's "Matt Foley, movtivational speaker"

...

[SarahB]

124. That's it. Couldn't think of the name.

I knew it was Matt "Something", but I forgot exactly which something. :thumbsup:

[Arugula Latte]

143. Wellllll, LA-DE-Freakin'-DAA!

He remembered it.

"I can't see too good. Is that Bill Shakespeare over there?"

[Arugula Latte]

144. John Belushi doing Joe Cocker next to Joe Cocker

was one of my favorites. Also a lot of the others already mentioned.

Remember the one with Dan Akroyd and Gilda Radner for the do-it-yourself kill your own meat restaurant. Gilda had the chainsaw revving. Akroyd: "YOU stun it! YOU kill it!"

[Triple H]

88. That one is the best!

[Semi_subversive]

24. Puppy Uppers

and Doggy Downers commercial.

[Shakespeare]

25. I NEED MORE COWBELL!

Walken's had so many great ones: the Continential, the trivial psychic (a fun play on his Dead Zone character), Colonel Angus....

[EV1Ltimm]

98. the cowbell skit gets my vote as well

[lazarus]

99. I gotta fever

and the only prescription is MORE COWBELL!

Funniest. Skit. Ever.

[St. Jarvitude]

117. Christopher Walken is my favorite actor

He's pretty good even when he's not in a comedic role - but he is by far, the best comedic performer ever. It doesn't matter if the writing has come out of *'s ass, he will make it f*ckin hilarious. IIRC, he did an "absentee roast" of the non-Friars club roasts on Comedy Central, and I was literally rolling on the floor laughing.

My favorite sketch of all time has got to be the "I need more cowbell" ... just ROFL hilarious.

[SoCalDem]

27. Bass-o-matic.. and Candygram ..come to mind

:)

[Teddy_Salad]

29. Bathroom Monkey

.

[Mobius]

31. "The Continental" - Christopher Walken

[geniph]

32. Any of Dan Aykroyd's commercial parodies

"It's a floor wax!"

"It's a dessert topping!"

"It's both! It's delicious - and just look at that SHINE!"

[kodi]

80. and the bass-o-matic

.

[arwalden]

139. Bass-O-Matic '76 Gets My Vote Too!!

[Arbustosux]

34. The swinging Czechoslovakian Brothers

the Festrunk brothers Steve Martin and Dan Ackroyd

"now are the foxes...."

[tjwash]

The foxes have...

...gone to the statue of liberty to pick up their birth control devices.

[KissMyAsscroft]

36. More COWBELL.

Classic.

[dolo amber]

38. The anal retentive chef!!

"How do we throw things out? Okay. We take our paper towel, two pieces, unbroken, lay it out neatly, dump the refuse inside, arranged neatly ... ... let's take these little nasties we separated earlier, put that back ... fold over carefully, making sure the corners are square ... and ... we take a piece of aluminum foil, and we place our refuse onto the foil, and fold over very carefully - this way, it won't leak onto the other garbage. Aluminum foil is such a miracle product!!"

:D:D

Priceless. RIP Phil. :(

[fudge stripe cookays]

65. And how do we dispose of odiferous waste?

Did you see the one with John Goodman as the Cajun chef who kept getting mad at Phil?

Phil kept trying to put a bouquet garni in the stockpot, and John kept getting mad that he was "putting a hat on the fish."

[ronzo]

81. Love it! .... and "Unfrozen Caveman Lawyer".

I still get mileage out of unfrozen caveman lawyer... Phil ruled!

ed:typo.

[northernsoul]

121. Unfrozen Caveman Lawyer never gets old

I'm in law school, and anytime I need to get a laugh I just do my 'Unfrozen Cavemen Lawyer' act.

[Tina H]

134. Second the motion

Unfrozen Caveman lawyer gets my vote.

I am not sure if this sketch was written by Bob Odenkirk, but it is very, very Bob Odenkirkesque.

[chelsea0011]

39. Another good one ...Belushi as Kirk, on the Star Trek bridge

"Your show's been cancelled"
"Set phasers on stun"
"Those aren't real"

[blm]

42. that sketch won SNL a writing emmy.

.

[tjwash]

41. Welcome to sprockets, I am your host Dieter...

"Vhy is it that the truly brilliant are doomed to a life of obscurity, surrounded by a sea of mediocrity, only to end up covered in sores in a pool of their own filth? Oh vell, the beat goes on."

[fudge stripe cookays]

66. Do you vant to touch my monkey?

[St. Jarvitude]

119. LOL! Sprockets is one of my favs

Unfortuantely, real German TV is no longer this funny - I don't know if in the late 80's/early 90's it were this hilarious. The "Electric Cafe" robot dancers clinched the sketch for me... "Now is the time on Sprockets ven ve dahnce!"

[liberalhistorian]

44. Mel Gibson: Dream Gynecologist!!

That was one of the funniest damn things I've ever seen on ANY show!!! Of course, it had special humor to us gals!:evilgrin:

[displacedtexan]

45. The Killer Bees

All time classic!

[cedahlia]

46. Will Ferrell as that crazy white haired guy

with the big glasses...I think the character is based on an actual person but I can't remember his name. He interviewed people...anyone know what I'm talking about??? Anyway, I'd always get a big laugh out of that one.

And the Jeopardy episodes with Farrell as Trebeck vs. his nemesis contestant, Sean Connery! "Suck it, Trebeck!" :D

oh, and the Brian Fellow skits are a guilty pleasure, too.

[mtnester]

48. I miss Will Farrell

particular the cheerleaders skits...too funny

[NicoleM]

115. Harry Carey

is the crazy white-haired guy.

[OneBlueSky]

47. Bass-O-Matic! . . . and the Claudine Longet Ski Tournament . . . n/t

.

[chelsea0011]

60. "Oh, she shot another one"

[MrBenchley]

50. The Coneheads on Family Feud

And even weirder than the Coneheads were the dysfunctional family they played against.

[ironflange]

54. Steve Martin as the Romaine lettuce farmer

"Name something people like to bite"

Protoid capsules, Romaine lettuce, The Big One

[camero]

52. Eddie Murphy as Gumby

I'm Gumby Dammit.

[ACK]

53. Bulletproof Clinton skit

Where Clinton walks out after the impeachment crap and I forgot who did Clinton but he walks out and tells the reporters,

"I am bulletproof. Next time bring Kryptonite."

_

[No Mandate Here.]

55. No Coke, Peps, No Coke, Peps

Chipps, Chipps, No Coke , Peps

[Bertha Venation]

56. Gilda Radner & Steve Martin meet at a bar

and act out a one-night-stand in dance. I'll never forget it.

RIP, Gilda.

[Lisa]

62. that one was beautiful -- and another Gilda sketch I especially love ...

... where she plays the little girl who's scared of the dark, and her parents (played by Martin Sheen and Jane Curtin) aren't helping matters any!

http://snltranscripts.jt.org/79/79gscary.phtml

[Bertha Venation]

68. Did you ever see her Broadway show, "Gilda Live"

Brilliant. Get it if you can find it -- don't rent. Buy. You won't regret it.

http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/6302877628/qid=1083377726/sr=1-1/ref=sr_1_1/103-0702864-4858261?v=glance&s=dvd

My favorite in that show: She plays a Brownie. In the beginning we hear her slamming her way up the stairs. She appears, walking into her bedroom and slamming the door. Then she opens the door again and shouts, "I diddent mean to slam the door!" and slams it again. LMAO

[2bfree]

57. Oops, I crapped my pants!

The adult diaper commercial! :) or what about "monkey no like clean"! Also the metric alphabet, classic!

[Insider]

59. Gilda: The Judy Miller Show

ROFL

-snip-
Judy: This is the show about a person who is jumping up and down so high they cant see in the sky. Nad now presenting duh duh duh duh, duh duh duh duh duh duh...

(she goes int the closet and emerges with a apron around chest like a dress) Judy: Presenting the very beautiful Queen of France. Jou tou bonce donce bonce du tu bonce donce, joui tou bonce donce du tu du. But, little does she know that the wicked, Queen of Germany, Queen Dofenlofen kofavitch is comming to get her, and shes going to kill her...no we have to run to England! (runs into door) Ahh we have to rune to France (runs into door). No we have to run to Bolivia (runs into door then kick it several times)(sings) gay lala gay la, gay lala gay la...

Mom: Jusy, whats going on in there?

Judy: Nothing (as she sits on bed)
-snip-
http://www.angelfire.com/comics/gildaradner/judymiller.html

[Kadie]

61. Hans & Franz: We're here to pump *clap* you up.

[Kadie]

63. Remember Massive head wound Harry

with Dana Carvey. Bwaahahahahaha

[fudge stripe cookays]

67. The 92 presidential candidates addressing the Star Trek convention

Freaking hysterical. Al Franken played Paul Tsongas, Hartman was Clinton, and I think Dana Carvey was doing Ross Perot.

"You're the first candidate I can trust. All the other candidates just want to be Santa Claus."

I don't want to be Santa Claus. I want to be Captain Kirk!"

[Metatron]

69. Nixon and Kissinger praying in the White House

Ackroyd and Belushi were brilliant.

[southpaw]

70. The Al Franken Decade...

Not really... but I hope to piss off lurking freeps by mentioning Al Franken.

[Tripper11]

71. Frank Zappa on Freak Mountain

and the guys on Freak Mountain who were so stunned that Zappa didn't do drugs. They were so sure of it, based on his music, lyrics, views etc.

[Kat45]

74. That was great I loved the episode Zappa was on.

He was also in the sketch about the killer Christmas trees. In a movie a group I belonged to made at college, I did a parody of that sketch: the killer pot plants. Two of my best stoner friends played the plants, and I managed to get the two most straight-laced guys to play the people that the plants killed. LOL

[Terran]

72. Jan Hooks as diner waitress

engaged in serious sexual innuendo warfare with Alec Baldwin, as a mysterious sexy truck driver, and then alternately bantering sexually but harmlessly with Kevin Nealon and Rob Schneider playing local doofuses. Best quote from the skit: "Ya shouldn't give yer pie away free. Makes ya look CHEAP!" (Baldwin to Hooks).

It's an extremely clever, well-written, subtle and hilarious skit. Jan Hooks was one of the best cast members ever. Nora Dunn is in the skit too as a laconic fellow waitress who tells Hooks, "You are treading...on thin ice!"

[philosophie_en_rose]

73. Celebrity Jeopardy & Gemini's Twin with Lucy Liu

Connery: I'll take anal bum cover for 7,000.

Trebek: That's An album cover, not anal bum cover.

Connery: I can read, Trebek. That says Anal bum cover. I've spent five years of my life trying to invent an anal bum cover, failing to do so is my greatest regret.

[LeftPeopleFinishFirst]

109. hahah

I remember that, classic!

[Ladyhawk]

75. Mr. Short-Term Memory with Tom Hanks (nt)

[Wapsie B]

76. Anything with Eddy Murphy

n/t

[Esurientes]

77. Clucky the Chicken

[Earth_First]

I got a fever, and the only prescription is more cowbell...

MORE COWBELL

[Earth_First]

78. I got a fever, and the only prescription is more cowbell...

MORE COWBELL

[LeftPeopleFinishFirst]

108. TURN UP THE MONITOR ON THE COWBELL

I gotta have more cowbell!

[Kat45]

82. Cheeburger, cheeburger, cheeburger

No Coke. Pepsi.

[sniffa]

83. their take on the 'pretzeL incident'

bush and cheney were in an abusive reLationship. cheney wore a dirty wife beater. wiLL farreLL as bush.

[AlFrankenFan]

84. Daily Affirmations with Stuart Smalley

Especially the one with the Bobbits (sp?), you know, the lady who cut off her husbands...yeah.

[Zero Gravitas]

85. Unfrozen Caveman Lawyer

is right up there, but there are so many good ones its hard to choose just one.

[battleknight24]

87. A lot of great choices... but here are a few other classics...

First, let me say that the Chippendales Dancer routine, with Farley and Swayze, is a classic indeed... here are other ones that I think are great...

-The gay beer commercial with Chris Farley and Adam Sandler

-Was it Martin Short who played a handicapped kid competing in the synchronized swimming event at the special olympics?

-The Levi's 3 legged jeans commercial

-The Crotch Bat commercial

-When Pres. Clinton (Darrell Hammond) reviews the film 'Independence Day,' they ask him what his favorite part of film was... "The part where the first lady died... that was excellent!"

-Wayne's World

-When Tim Meadows is playing O.J. Simpson, he is anouncing a football game and diagramming a football play... He spells out in large letters I DID IT.

-Deep Thoughts by Jack Handey... "If a kid asks where rain comes from, I think a cute thing to tell him is "God is crying." And if he asks why God is crying, another cute thing to tell him is "Probably because of something you did."

Peace,

[rucky]

89. Eddie Murphy's "White Like Me"

"Silly negro"


and the synchronized swimming clip w/ Martin Short & Christopher Guest.

[gauguin57]

93. shatner scolding star-trek convention ...

... "Move out of your parents' basements! You ... have you ever kissed a girl?"

Also ...

"Ollie North, the Mute Marine" (to the tune of "Ballad of the Green Beret." With Shatner-as-North taking the 5th.

Anal Retentive Chef.

The Sweeney Sisters.

Judy Miller Show. (Gilda stole my act -- I was totally Judy Miller growing up ... petticoat on my head and the whole bit!).

Ron Reagan Jr. doing the Tom Cruise dance from Risky Business ... IN HIS UNDERWEAR! While his dad was still president. Closest I ever came to wetting myself watching SNL.

"I Married a Monkey."

Donny and Marie Osmond necking with each other during Christmas special.

Ackroyd as Julia Child, cutting his hand and bleeding into unconsciousness.

Jane, you ignorant slut!

2000 presidential debates.

Richard Pryor as exorcist ("Yo mama sews socks that smell!")

And the immortal ... Lorne Michaels offering $3,000 to the Beatles to reunite on SNL, and having George Harrison wanting his 1/4 of the dough for showing up. ("I think that's pretty chintzy ...")

Stewart Smalley.

Anytime Ackroyd did Bob Dole (especially when Franken was doing Pat Robertson!).

[uncertainty1999]

91. John Goodman as Linda Tripp

The timing was perfect (the week the scandal broke) and Goodman was unforgettable!

[Skittles]

92. LOL

I was gonna say Farley & Swayze too. Freaking CLASSIC.

[Pithlet]

94. Do not taunt Happy Fun Ball!

I like the Jeapordy sketches, too. And Cowbell.

[LostInAnomie]

95. Erotic Bakery

Patrick Stewart ran a Erotic Bakery where the only pornographic image you could get on a cake was a woman peeing on something.

[UnAmericanJoe]

103. LOL

This is a highly underrated sketch from a particularly barren era in SNL history.

[UnAmericanJoe]

104. Schmitts Gay

Farley and Sandler are great in that bit.

[T Bone]

96. The Widettes of course

the Widette Family. Remember they all had big asses, and couldn't all fit on the family room couch at the same time?

Funny as hell.

[devilgrrl]

97. Jan Hooks and Nora Dunn doing the Lemon Sisters...

...especially the episode William Shatner co-hosted when they did the christmas song medley.

[Endangered Specie]

101. The first black announcment of "Live from NY"

[ThoughtCriminal]

102. Theodoric Of York

No matter what the ailment or problem "You'll be a lot better after a good bleeding!"

I think of the sketch every time a republican recommends more tax cuts.

[bearfan454]

105. The Chicago Bear fans one where they are eating polish sausage

It cracked me up.

[mockmonkey]

106. My favorite is

Phil Hartman as Chuck Heston recording the audio version of Madonna's Sex Book. "I like my vagina..."

[LeftPeopleFinishFirst]

107. "BLUE OYSTER CULT" and "SCHWEATY BALLS"

Are my two favorites!

[GalleryGod]

111. Bill Murray as the Lounge Lizzard Singer, Nick Sands...Nick Rails..

Fill in the blank-last name!
He was so ,so, SMARMY he was GOP in a TUX!

[candy]

126. I forgot that one!

I can still see him in my mind sliding around the lounge with the mike in his hands,a lascivious grin on his face.

[CRK7376]

112. Candygram......

LAND SHARK!

Followed by anything that pokes fun at Shrub and company....and of course Samuria....

[LWolf]

113. Church Lady--Dana Carvey

But there are so many other greats to choose from.

[gmoney]

149. real name? Enid Strict

Or maybe Enid Strick... they only used it the first time or two, then they just started calling the character "Church Lady" -- that led to an era of really lazy writing where they didn't bother coming up with names for characters, just the shorthand name. Sandler's "Opera Man" for instance...

[LWolf]

153. I didn't know that!

I'm never up to watch SNL in real time; I've always been an earlier riser. For decades now, all the SNL I've watched were reruns.

I can name many other, earlier favorites. But the church lady was there when church-going family members were holding my feet to the fire, demanding my redemption. Enid Strict struck a chord.

[mtnester]

114. One more for ya

The norge repair man butt crack episode with Todd and Lisa...I am definitely showing my age :)...the Lupers were hysterical

[Bush_Eats_Beef]

116. "Arkansas Cops"

...called out to settle a spousal abuse call at the home of Bill & Hillary, with Phil Hartman and Jan Hooks.

[St. Jarvitude]

118. ignore

meant to reply to a subthread... oops :crazy:

[Ratty]

120. Can somebody give me more details about this skit?

It's my favorite SNL skit ever, but I don't remember any of the funny lines. The premise is that a bunch of guests are at a dinner party. Somebody tells a joke that offends somebody. In order to lighten the mood and save the party, somebody else tells a harmless, inoffensive joke, but that offends somebody else. After awhile it becomes absurd. "But didn't you know Tina's father was killed when a peanut butter truck tipped over and buried him?" Except that wasn't the joke but you get the idea. Anybody know where I can find a transcript or anybody remember some of the jokes and why somebody was offended?

I have a warped sense of humor and that skit really spoke to me. I have described it on a number of occasions to defuse tense situations (and it works!), but not so good as I could if I could remember the jokes.

[Penndems]

122. Fred Garvin, Male Prostitute and The Festrof Brothers

Those "wild and crazy guys"! :toast:

Oh, yeah, I almost forgot . . .

"Cheeseburger, Cheeseburger, Cheeseburger! No Pepsi - only Coke."

(Greek diner skit with Ackroyd, Gilda Radner, John Belushi and Bill Murray)

(edited for text)

[MikeG]

123. The "Raging Queen"

And Dan Ackroyd saying to Garrett Morris: "Unhand me you Blackamoor"

[candy]

125. Bill Murray-The VD inspector!

Hysterical!

[ScreamingMeemie]

127. Invasion of the Body Snatchers and the LandShark.

Who is it???? ahem...Candy man. Very very funny.

[Donkeyboy75]

128. The "Jeopardy" skits. Also Nic Cage's "Tiny Elvis" and "Asswipe" skits

Turd Ferguson, that's just funny.

I'll take Ape Tit for $200.

[SarahB]

130. Another- Eddie Murphy in "James Brown Celebrity Hot Tub"

[SarahB]

131. Another- "The Ex-President's" (animated crime fighting/super hero thing)

[SarahB]

132. Another- Mike Myers in "Lothar of the Hill People"

[Donkeyboy75]

135. I forgot about that one!

Thanks for making me laugh!

[SarahB]

133. Last one- Farley, Sandler, and Spade in drag as "Gap Girls"

[cosmicdot]

136. don't ... talk ... to ... connie ... chung

farley as newt
kightlinger as chung
garofalo as newt's mother

honorable mentions:

- Cheri Oteri: Crazy Lady Gets Prescription Filled
- Japanese Game Show
- Stuart Smalley
- Coffee Talk
- Church Lady
- most everything done by Phil Hartman
- Wayne's World
- TV Funhouse
- Lucien and Fagin

[VOX]

137. Christopher Guest and Billy Crystal as Willie and Frankie the masochists..

They usually appeared in the guise of custodians or night watchmen or some other working stiffs. They would reminisce about household tasks that had gone awry. Crystal would start by saying something like “You ever try to hang a picture, and you...”
“Crush your tongue with a ball-peen hammer?” Guest would chime in.
“Yeah,” Crystal would say. “I hate when that happens.”

Also, these two guys once did a filmed piece for SNL that was sheer genius. They played (in full, convincing makeup) retired Negro League ballplayers, the Rabbit and the King. It was done in the mocumentary style that would become Guest's trademark. A classic.

[RUMMYisFROSTED]

138. More cowbell!

MORE COWBELL!

[maveric]

140. Garret Morris" "Im gonna get me a shotgun and shoot down every whitey I

see" and sings more:"I'm gonna shoot every whitey then whitey wont bother me"
He sang this as a prisoner at a parole board hearing and he was expressing himself in the best way he could.
Gilda was present and his song went into another verse about "taking" white women.

[bmbmd]

141. No-it's Hugh Hefner as

Captain Testerone. "Let's ram 'em"

[Zomby Woof]

142. McLaughlin Group

When Dana Carvey was funny, also in the "Church Chat" skits or "Wayne's World".

My favorite Mike Myers skit was "Sprockets".

Phil Hartman as Bill Clinton... 'These fries...warlords!' Of course, just about any Hartman, especially "The Sinatra Group", "The Anal Retentive Chef", "The Anal Retentive Carpenter"... "The Mike Ditka Christmas Special"... Peter Graves hosting a science program... "Unfrozen Caveman Lawyer"... what a talent. :-(

John Belushi, "Samurai Dry Cleaner".

Gilda Radner as Roseanne Rosannadanna.

Weekend Update with Dan Aykroyd and Jane Curtin.

Eddie Murphy as Mr. Robinson.

145. 60 Minutes with Martin Short

and Harry Shearer.. The expose on the fake plastic vomit factory.

Short as the lawyer, with sweat pouring down his brow, smoking like a chimney: "I know that! What makes you think I don't know that?"

There are many skits from that season that are in the top ten best.

Men's synchro swimming
Buckwheat is Dead / John David Stutts
Bobbing for fried chicken
Jackie Robinson's Jackpot Wad
Lifestyles of The Relatives of The Rich and Famous
Mr. Robinson's Neighborhood
The Stevie Wonder Experience
Gumby Damnit!

I could go on for awile..

148. Nathan Thurm was Short's character, I believe

"It's not me, it's him, right?"

"I know that. What makes you think I don't know that?"

Brilliant character...
