[SNL] Thread - Post your favorites

Raijin Quickfoot

SNL has been on for what? 900 years? That means they’ve done at least 3 million sketches. There has to be at least 50 that are good? Right?

I’m missing massive chunks of SNL viewing history so let’s help each other out. Post your favorite SNL skits, SNL musical performances, SNL moment, or whatever.

I’ll start with my personal fave

I was trying to remember some of my favorite commercial parodies when I found this wiki page listing them all: wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Saturday_Night_Live_commercial_parodies

I knew there were a lot but I had no idea there were so many!

Perhaps my favorite solo-performance from a regular day-player at SNL:

In terms of my favorite guest-host performance, its Adam Driver's oil baron:

Oh man is that the "Jane, you ignorant slut."?

If someone finds a recording of Bill Murray selling "Swill" I'll die a happy man.

This is how my newborn reacted when we switched her regular baby formula to something that was actually available at the store.

Ed Glosser, Trivial Psychic. A good bit that Walken elevates to an all-timer.

Walken is such a treasure whenever he's on this show. Who else could solo a sketch like this one.

Raijin Quickfoot

Walken is definitely up there for best guest host. I could easily argue for him as the best.

Early to mid 90s sketches were clearly one idea that they decide to run into the ground then dig a hole so deeply that you turn back around to funny again.

I don't know if this is actually a favorite but chopping broccoli will just randomly pop into my head far more often than it should.

This is a bit that originated in Carvey's standup IIRC. I know I've heard him do the bit in stand-up.

Such a good sketch.

I look forward to game show sketches now in the same way I looked forward to ad sketches in the 90s.

If you had to ask me what is the exact energy & spirit of high school theater kids, this SNL skit got it right on the money:

I'm in this and I don't like it.
EDIT: Oh my God this is like a perfect encapsulation of my high school theater experience, down to the teacher.

Where I live/grew up we have a bunch of apple orchards, including one of the biggest in 4 states, and this one always rang very very true to me:

I will say I only enjoy breaking on SNL when they are actively determined to try and not break and still fail

As opposed to that horse shit when Fallon was on.
