Favorite SNL Sketch

*MikeandRaph87* · 02-06-2014, 05:14 PM

Recently a website selected 2000's More Cowebell with Christopher Walker and Will Ferrell as the best skit in the show's history. This afternoon Rolling Stones selected 1993's Down By The River with Chris Farley and Christina Applegate.

Its all a matter of opinion when it comes down to it but some are more popular than others. My favorite? Celebrity Jeopardy. I always get a good laugh with each installment and even if I have seen it a few times it does not get old.

Second would be Seth Meyers behind the Weekend Update desk in general. So what are your favorites? Post a video of the sketch if it is available on streaming somewhere around the net.

Anything with Chris Farley is awesome, but the Van Down by the River sketch has to be my favorite. Also the one where he did the Bears Hula but made it into the Bulls Hula where Michael Jordan was the guest speaker. Oh, and the Chippendales one with Patrick Swayze was great, too.

A fairly new one, but then again, I have the worst memory ever:

*MikeandRaph87* · 02-14-2014, 05:42 PM

Puppet Class, the first sketch of last season and the best! Hader stole the show from the Don Osmond look-alike Seth McFarlane. I can watch that one over and over and still laugh. Excellent choice.

Matt Foley,huh? That character gets alot of love all these years later. I read there were 8 sketches of this, I have only seen two, Christina Applegate and George Foreman.

Good ol' Mr Bill, the little man from despair.

**Jester** · 02-14-2014, 06:39 PM

Sooo wrong, but so funny.

*MikeandRaph87* · 03-07-2014, 08:58 PM

I competely forgot that Mr. Bill came out of SNL. Good call. Swedy Meatballw? I first saw that one on the Christmas special. Sorry,but I groaned instead of laughed.

As long as you like it though,Jester.

Mr. Robinson's Neighborhood is another favorite.

I really thought Tina "Sarah Palin" Fey would have be the one to do this consdiering its her theme song,but about a month from having a baby Pohler knocks it out of the park. Its still awesome from one I first saw it live.

Also,this is not SNL based but highlights my favorite part of the show,the political satire. I also appreciate voice acting and this guy is an unappreciated genius in both.

My all time favorite SNL sketch is Word Association with Chevy Chase and Richard Pryor, but another that's high up there is less known. It was when Will Ferrel hosted for the first time after he left and hes the son in a family (all named Nuni) who can't pronounced their guests names. Its not ground breaking comedy but I lose it every time I see it.

Almost anything from the Eddie Murphy era!! That show was pure gold back then!! (and I've been watching SNL since the original cast was on!!) Admittedly, I haven't been watching SNL much over the last few years. It just wasn't funny whenever I tuned in.

I also love "D**K IN A BOX" and it's follow-up "MOTHER LOVER". Good stuff!

Historically and viewership wise the Eddie Murphy/Joe Piscopo era-majority of the second five which brainchild Lorne Michaels is the least favorite of any period. I am not knocking it as all I have seen are various clips. Someone like Jester can confirm this. With most of the cast that I really enjoyed left I don't really care for the show now. I don't care for the increased sex based humor of today myself. Its just stupid not funny but it has an audience. Something like you mention above turns me off. You can always watch favorite seasons/eras on the net or VH1 networks.

Not sure if that's true or not, I've certainly seen worse seasons since the Murphy era. Regardless, that is my favorite run of the show by far. So many unforgettable skits from that time-frame. We all have different tastes for sure.

I am just going back what I read about the second five lead by Dick Ebersol. Murphy made headlines with his skits Buckwheat and Mr. Robinson's Neighborhood( I love the latter of the two) specifically.

I quite liked the Wayne's World sketches that aired in the late 80s to the mid 90s.
