Favorite SNL skits

[nytemare]

I have to go with Rosanne Rosannadanna and the Cheeeboiger cheeeboiger skit.

[alittlelark]

1. I miss the Coneheads - from France.

[nytemare]

5. "Here have some beer"

On Halloween, handing out 6 packs to the kiddies!

[Hardrada]

78. Consume mass quantities

Boy, you guys sure know to party.

[Dragon Turtle]

Jingleheimer Junction

[name not needed]

38. F is for friends who do things together

U is for you and me...

:D

[cmutt]

54. cork soakers

I won't say anything more. It was the funniest (although a bit crude) skit they've pulled off in a loooong time.

[madison2000]

2. Steve Martin singing about King Tut

And Steve Martin giving his Christmas wishes

[Jeebo]

77. "Theodoric of York, Medieval Barber"

I think it was on the same show as the "King Tut" performance. On another show a few months later he did another "Theodoric of York" skit in which Theodoric had a different occupation, don't remember which occupation.

[nytemare]

9. Would you like some shampag na?

:)

[JimmyJazz]

12. No - I'm too busy exploring the space!

:P

[Radical Activist]

105. I put my pants on one leg at a time like anybody else

except that after I get my pants on I make gold records.

I LOVE that skit!

[gater]

4. Two wild and crazy guys, and the Bassomatic!

[benny05]

and the Julia child chicken skit

Along with the Bassomatic..


Also, I liked the Land Shark "candy gram" at the door...:beer:

[jonnyblitz]

40. yup. "mmmmmmm, great bass!!!" nt

[ryban]

6. I still laugh out loud at the "Bass-o-matic" skit ...

that Dan Ackroyd did all those years ago.

Also the All-Drug Olympics skit was funny.

Thinking about it, I guess that sums up my sense of humor. I laugh at gross out jokes.

[pscot]

35. The Bassomatic

does kind of stay with you.

[CanuckAmok]

7. From the early days: "E. Buzz Miller talks about art"

and the hazardous halloween costumes (Johnny Space Commander and Johnny Invisible Pedestrian).

From the latter days, the sketches involving the crime scene and the vomit tubes, because they never work correctly.

[nytemare]

42. E Buzz Miller was Ackroyd, right?

I remember him with the halloween costumes, like a sleazy used car salesman. That was great!

[fudge stripe cookays]

68. Actually....

E. Buzz Miller was the sleazoid talk show host with the skanky girlfriend, Christi Christina (Laraine) who giggled all the time.

Irvin Mainway was the sleazoid money-grubbing, defective Halloween costume manufacturer who defended himself to Jane Curtin.

FSC, entirely too into this stuff

[nytemare]

74. As long as they were both Dan Ackroyd

Otherwise my memory has just totally gone to shit.

[CanuckAmok]

98. Yeah.

His talka bout art was a cable show, co-hosted by a stripper he just met, who just basically giggled at everything he said.

Essentially, E. Buzz Miller just talked about art so he could talk about nudity:

"Now what we got here", he said, holding up a Titian nude, "is a pretty decent pict-shure of a naked dame on a horse. And get this...the guy who painted it? His name's "Tit-ian"!"

[Bok_Tukalo]

8. This one

Announcer: And now we return to Sunday Morning with Charles Kuralt.

Charles Kuralt: Well, it seems that's all the time we have this Sunday morning. It has come time for us to part, you and I, for I am retiring from CBS News. I have been On the Road now for thirty-seven years, and I will miss it. I will miss it... much. I will miss the thunder of the big diesels as they roar by me. I will miss the inviting windows of well-stocked general stores reflected in the rear-view mirror. I will miss the sight of young cottonwoods and and old rattlesnake nests, of winds that blow, and rivers that flow. But mostly, I will miss the sex.

For that is what brought me to the road in the first place, so many years ago, the promise of sex with a string of anonymous partners across this great land. And oh, how that promise has been fulfilled!

There was Thelma Ober, a frail old woman of seventy-five, whose pumpkin pies have been well-known to the residents of Cornwall, North Dakota for years. Every afternoon, Thelma leaves her house and strolls gallantly toward town. And wherever Thelma goes, the birds of Cornwall follow. Ms. Thelma Ober is known as the "Bird Lady." And I had sex with her.

I remember Sara Little, who lived at the end of a long dirt road in the piney woods of Arkansas and is the best friend a dog ever had. She owns over four hundred and fifty of them. Oh, and just one more thing: Sara Little is the town dog catcher. And oh, one more thing: I had sex with her.

And I will not soon forget Old Ned Harrigan from Monklin, Maine, the proud possessor of a ball of twine, sixty-seven feet around. If he ever unrolled it, it would stretch from Monklin, Maine to the Gulf of Mexico. But, of course, Ned didn't want to unroll it, he wanted me to have sex with his wife. And so I did. And, wouldn't you know it, Old Ned watched. And I think he learned something, as did we all that balmy August, Monklin night.

Yes, there were hundreds and thousands more. None of them were very attractive, I suppose. Even by backwoods standards. But I couldn't care less. What's done is done.

Anyway, those days are passed now. I will retire tomorrow and busy myself with more solitary diversions. Perhaps you'll find me knee-deep in a bending piece of water known as the Madison River, trying to fool a trout with a bit of floating feather. Or, maybe I'll be practicing something called… autoerotic asphyxiation, a curious diversion Eric Severeid introduced me to and I've grown quite fond of.

And so… tiddly-widdly toodle-loo. All I want is to stay with you, but here I go. Good-bye.

[nytemare]

16. LOL

I think I remember that one!

[Bush_Eats_Beef]

10. This one's definitely in the "top ten" of all time...

[name not needed]

11. Gonna get me a shotgun and kill all the whiteys I see!

Gonna get me a shotgun and kill all the whiteys I see!
And once I kill all the whiteys I see
Then whitey he won't bother me
Gonna get me a shotgun and kill all the whiteys I see!

:D

[nytemare]

26. How about the job interview with Chevy Chase and Pryor!

That was funny. The way Richard Pryor's face twitched and his eyes got big "Dead Honkey"!

[name not needed]

a picture says a thousand words

[Cyndee_Lou_Who]

13. heh..."Cheezborger! Cheezborger!"

I highly recommend a visit to the Billy Goat Tavern in Chicago - the inspiration for this incredible skit... you WILL get a "No fries, cheeps! No Pepsi, Coke!" Amazing fun!

http://www.billygoattavern.com/home.html

Wayne's World was pretty funny stuff as well.

[Ziggy_0253]

107. Oh, the Billy Goat one....

Who did that? GoatBoy? Ahahahahahahah

[MnFats]

14. anything with Belushi...

...including his 'editorials' that ended with him in a frothing rage, Joe Cocker and his turn as The Hulk, leaving the bathroom reeking at a superheroes' party...god i wish he was still around..

[nytemare]

20. Was it Belushi or Chase with the "Jane, you ignorant slut" deal?

Why can I not remember this? I think I am getting early alzheimers.

[MnFats]

22. that was Ackroyd!

beautiful!

[nytemare]

24. Oh man, that is it, get me some aricept!

Noooooo Emily, that is a state, they want to make Puerto Rico a state.

Sprockets

32. A lot of people say "What's that?" It's Pat. A Ma'am or a Sir

a Him or a Her, or whatever it might be, it's time for adrogeny, it's just Pat!

[name not needed]

28. Harry Caray

"We all know that the moon isn't made of green cheese, but what if it were made of barbaqued spare ribs? Would you eat it then? I know I would. I'd eat it all up and ask for seconds. Then wash it down with an ice cold Budweiser...."

[Catshrink]

30. One of my favorites was Stuart Smalley "counseling" Michael Jordan

Stuart: Michael, do you feel that others are better than you?

Michael: No.

Stuart: And Michael, do you feel that other people can do your job better than you?

Michael: No.

Stuart: Michael, don't you think you're just a little bit in denial?

Michael: No.

[Lisa]

31. "Mastermind" (Ronald Reagan was actually a genius) ...

--the one with "the Vandals" (Roman centurion confronting an unruly teenaged barbarian)
--Gilda Radner as the little girl confronting monsters in her bedroom, and Martin Sheen as her increasingly-exasperated father
--from the 2000 election, a look at the possible Bush, Gore, and Nader administrations (the "Bush" one was scarily correct)

--my favorite episode was when Al Gore hosted -- the "Hardball", "Stuart Smalley", and "Willy Wonka" sketches were way good.

[nytemare]

39. Phil Hartman, RIP

He was a great Reagan and the best Clinton!

[Lisa]

52. Clinton in the McDonald's!

I forgot that one! I saw a replay of it recently, and was amazed that he'd gotten the character down so quickly (Clinton had just been elected). And also Hartman's "Caveman Lawyer" character was superb.

[nytemare]

58. I just did a message on that on last night!

McNugget, intercepted by warlords!

[TheCentepedeShoes]

33. Land Shark

In the early days, after "Jaws" came out. I lived in the Hyde Park section of Tampa, about 3 blocks from the bay. The movie scared me so much I never went in the water again and thought ole "Bruce" could walk right up and knock on my door.

[nytemare]

41. Telegram..

[General Zod]

36. Jon Lovitz as Tommy Flanagan, the Pathological Liar....

...Yeah, that's the ticket....

Talking about Lovitz saying, "Shit, now Dana gets to play the President for four years."

Tod (Bill Murray) and Lisa (Gilda Radnor)

Chevy Chase doing "Weekend Update"

Dan Ackroyd and John Belushi as Nixon and Kissinger

Joe Piscopo doing his Frank Sinatra impersonation

Dan Ackroyd as "Fred Garvin, Male Prostitute" and as Jimmy Carter

[Hardrada]

50. Bill Murrray as the cheesy airport lounge singer

He did this sketch several times.

[Hardrada]

55. Father Guido Sarducci

Great and who did that sketch anyway? Also who did the one where he was a babysitter of some kind for Gilda and Larayne and was taking some unseemly pictures of them? Talk about edgy humor. I don't think they could do some of those bits these days!

[hickman1937]

94. " Star wars, not like our wars"

I loved his lounge lizard act.

[Hardrada]

100. The Franken and Davis Show

That was some weird stuff.

[MnFats]

57. Wait...it's Dan Ackroyd's ASS CRACK! Refrigerator repair!

that was shocking, appalling, gross and riotously funny.
it became part of the language!
when you'd see someone with their jeans falling off their ass, you'd nod to your friend and say 'refrigerator repairman!'

[nytemare]

60. Ya gotta love Ackroyd!

I just remembered Chevy Chase's "Church of Confusion", that was pretty funny.

[MrBenchley]

62. The Coneheads on Family Feud

also let's not forget

Martin Short and Harry Shearer training for the Olympics...

"As World Turn" with Tarzan, Tonto and Frankenstein (especially the episode with Mel Gibson as Frankenstein's evil twin)

63. Love this thread!

The stills from the skits are making me ROTFL.

In no particular order:

More Cowbell
Eddie Murphy in James Brown Celebrity Hot Tub

Sprockets (the German film contest, includes Kyle MacLaughlan)

(Will supply pics if I can find them)

[nytemare]

64. The stool line was the best!

Phil Hartman was the man.

[nytemare]

65. OOOOO, I forgot "Deep thoughts...by Jack Handey"

I wish I had a Kryptonite cross, because then you could keep both Dracula AND Superman away

[AlCzervik]

66. i loved the Anal retentive chef and Eddie Murphy as Tyrone Green

Images by Tyrone Greene ...
Dark and lonely on the summer night.
Kill my landlord, kill my landlord.
Watchdog barking - Do he bite?
Kill my landlord, kill my landlord.
Slip in his window,
Break his neck!
Then his house
I start to wreck!
Got no reason --
What the heck!
Kill my landlord, kill my landlord.
C-I-L-L ...
My land - lord ...

[nytemare]

67. The Anal Retentive Chef reminds me of Dan doing Julia Childs

[fudge stripe cookays]

72. "Save the liver!!"

:D

[AlCzervik]

73. BWWWWAAA!!!!!

[A HERETIC I AM]

70. "Samurai Tailor"

With Buck Henry as the client.....Belushi is measuring his inseam and mutters some Japenese gibberish like "Mu ootsuo owatami ki? or something and Henry says "To the left" (as in which way he "Dresses" or more to the point, which way his penis naturally hangs, something a tailor needs to know in order to make trousers fit like....well...tailor made trousers.)
When he throws a piece of cloth in the air and hacks it several times as it falls, bends over behind the counter and picks up a perfectly made vest, lining, buttons and all, i remember laughing my ass off.

Absolutely classic and hilarious

All of the Samurai - whatevers were funny as hell

[kodi]

71. dueling brandos

.

[fudge stripe cookays]

75. "Let's let Toonces drive!"

"He drives around....all over the town... Toonces the Driving Cat!"

[nytemare]

82. That was about the time of "Simon"

Mike Myers "Hello, my name is Simon, and I like drawring".

[Hardrada]

76. Paul Simon as Billy Jack

and the Bernard character pours flour on Gilda who is wearing some kind of Native American costume. I think Bill Murray was bernard but am not absolutely sure.

[Jeebo]

79. Rodney Dangerfield as the sperm bank donor...

Every couple coming into the sperm bank wanted some Rodney Dangerfield.

Ron

[Dervill Crow]

80. Dan Aykroyd and Steve Martin

as those wild and crazy czechoslovakian guys.

[elshiva]

81. Poppy & Dukakis Debate

ending with Poppy (Dana Carvey) spouting: "Read my lips. A THOUSAND points of light!"

Dukakis (Jon Lovitz): "I can't believe I'm losing to this guy."

(Reportedly, Kerry actually said this about Dubya when they use to read him the polls during the campaign.)

Dana Carvey was hil-frikkin'-larious as Poppy.

[nytemare]

84. Na ga dowit na ga dowit

Wouldn't be prudent!

[elshiva]

87. LOL!

That was aces.

[hollywood926]

83. What was the name of the Catholic girl who threw her legs in the air?

Mary Catherine Gallagher? She was funny.

I do this when I get nervous...LOL.

[Adenoid_Hynkel]

86. loved jan hooks in bette davis' video will

Basaball been very very good to Chico.

[Cyndee_Lou_Who]

99. Belushi's "Little Chocolate Doughnuts"

Samurai Night Fever
The President's Council on Drugs (with the hands of Ford trying to roll a doob)
Massive Headwound Harry

[fudge stripe cookays]

101. 92 Democratic primaries-- Candidates addressing the Star Trek convention..

was hysterical.

Phil Hartman was Clinton, Franken was Tsongas, and I forget who else. I still laugh so hard I almost wet myself.

FSC

[Orsino]

102. "And now...Dueling Brandos."

Host Peter Boyle and John Belushi, each in Wild Ones leather, trade Brando impressions in between guitar/banjo licks in the background. As the music accelerates, so their Brandos become more frantic, culminating in the pair screaming, "Stella!"

There have been a lot of great SNL sketches, but this one has me in stitches throughout.

[Hardrada]

103. Duh Bearss

The Bears fans in that tavern. Chris Farley among them.

[Ziggy_0253]

104. Any of the Samuri Sanwich Shop skits....

John Belushi was great.

Can anyone remember which show had Tim Meadows doing a rap tune with him wearing a big funny looking hat and singing about "Klonking mo' hos"? I would dearly love to see a re-run of that one.

[Radical Activist]

106. My name is Matt Foley. I am 35. Thrice divorced..

AND I LIVE IN A VAN DOWN BY THE RIVER!!!

[ChoralScholar]

108. Gerald Ford eaten by wolves

http://snltranscripts.jt.org/96/96dbrokaw.phtml
---
Voice of Producer: No. We've got "eaten by wolves".

Tom Brokaw: What? Now, come on!

Voice of Producer: Just read it!

Tom Brokaw: Gerald Ford isn't gonna be eaten by wolves!

Voice of Producer: Taft was.

Tom Brokaw: Really? Taft?

Voice of Producer: Uh.. yeah.

Tom Brokaw: Alright, alright.. "Tragedy today, as former President Gerald Ford was eaten by wolves. He was delicious." Now.. now, that's just superfluous, you know?

Voice of Producer: It's a former President, Tom. What do you say - he's not delicious?

Tom Brokaw: Alright, fine.. what's next?

[bushcrab]

109. Chris Farley Chippendale's & Eddie Murphy sings Hot Tub

pant wetters

[HEyHEY]

110. They LOVE their mothers boy!

It's mother this and mother that and "Oh my Irish Mother."

[Hardrada]

111. Claudine Longet Ski Tournament

Where she kept "accidentally" shooting skiers. I think SNL got in some trouble for that one.
