Greatest 'Saturday Night Live' Sketches of All Time! What's your favorite!

Shweddy Balls

Pet rescue

The best Gilda ever.

Dance boys!

Jan Hooks as Bette Davis!

John Belushi as "The Thing That Wouldn't Leave" When he puts his cigar out in the chip dip I nearly pissed myself laughing.

Martin Short and Harry Shearer

Motivational Speaker

There was one that had Wayne Gretzy backstage after a hockey game and a list of celebrities come back to meet him, culminating in Jan Hooks strolling in as Bette Davis.

There was also a similar one with Michael J Fox that was a takeoff of Americas' Most Wanted but with a child celebrity gang. Dana Carvey played William Demerest who looked after everyone. Chris Farley played Mindy Cohn.

A parody of Natalie Cole's unforgettable that had Natalie Cole singing with other dead musicians. Chris Farley played Mama Cass, John Goodman played Elvis.

Happy Fun Ball with the 5 minute warnings (a precursor to todays medical commercials)

Let's make Joan Baez laugh with Nora Dunn as Joan.

Church Chat with Tammy Faye Bakker

Cheri Oteri as Adele, the office slut who always has to explain her innuendos.

SNL often beat funny characters to death by repeating them, but I wish we'd had a couple more Adele sketches.

[quote]A parody of Natalie Cole's unforgettable that had Natalie Cole singing with other dead musicians...

Best part was Melanie Hutsell as Tammy Wynette singing (to Stand By Your Man): "I am not dead...this is how rumors get started...cut it out bitch".

Tammy died shortly afterward.

Any sketch where Eddie Murphy played Velvet Jones, but in particular when he's advertising his hourly rate hotel and Joe Piscopo is in bed with a couple of hookers and throws some cake at Eddie.

Colette Reardon

The Mohan-Culps

Joe Piscopo as Frank Sinatra

Does anyone remember 'Toonces the Cat that Could Drive' skits? Remember the toonceinator?

More cowbell!

Who's More Grizzled? with Garth Brooks and Robert Duvall. You have won some salted meats and a bottle of Rebel Yell!

Gilda Radner as the little girl playing alone in her room, putting on her own fantastical "Judy Miller Show" and getting wilder and wilder.

So specific, so universal, so funny.

[quote]I live in a van down by the river!

The first and greatest Matt Foley sketch. Watching Spade and Christina lose their shit was wonderful.

Spicer

Richard Pryor and Chevy Chase doing a sketch that would never get on TV today.

Old French Whore

Richard Pryor in The Exorcist II.

"Bad Clams"

Kaitlyn.

Hulk Hogan and Mr. T on Fernando's Hideaway

Lucy Lawless hosting: "Stevie Nicks Fajita Roundup"

Not sure if that link worked. Maybe this will work.

I wish I could find the clip with Ron Howard returning to Mayberry as a grown up Opie with a guest appearance by Andy Griffith. Minus the homophobia it's a brilliant sketch.

Wilt Chamberlain: Remembrances of Love

I've never seen the actual video online... but here's the script. It was a brilliant bit

(Oops, I meant "Remebrances of Love, with Wilt Chamberlain")

Stuart Smalley with Michael Jordan.

Nathan Thurm

The Coneheads on FAMILY FEUD, with Bill Murray as the host

I can't find the whole thing on YT

"Dieter's Dream"

I laughed WAY too hard at all of the Sprockets sketches.

Oprah' favorite things with Maya Rudolph

The classic, John Belushi as Liz Taylor.

The Big Bitch Bull Dyke Bust Out.

Jim Bakker, Leona Helmsley, and Zsa Zsa Gabor bust out of jail with Tammy Faye as the get away driver.

Dan Aykroyd and the decabet.

Ricky Nelson in the Twilight Zone skit where he keeps walking into other B/W 50's sitcom families' (the Cleavers, the Andersons, the Ricardos, forget who else's) kitchens instead of his own.

Dick in a box

Prince show

My favorite: Alec Baldwin trying to seduce Canteen Boy (Adam Sandler).

Love Canteen Boy!

Garrett Morris as Tina Turner, and Martin Short's Ed Grimley.

Unfortunately SNL is very good at keeping clips off Youtube.

John Belushi's "Don't Look Back In Anger" sketch. Ironic that in it he was the last survivor of the SNL cast.

Any of the Samurai sketches with John Belushi.

"The Sinatra Group" with Phil Hartman.

Better link to the Belushi sketch.

"Are you dating?"

Not working 😟

Hello, Stepson, Now Let's Go To Bed: I Went To Bed With My Stepson--The Laura Bengal Covington Story.

I'm no angel

Gap Girls

So strange but I love it

Stefon's Farewell

Love this...

Bye bye

The Pepsi Syndrome with Dan Ackroyd as a giant Jimmy Carter. Unfortunately I can't find it on YouTube.

Colonel Angus

Jan Hooks and Alec Baldwin in Brenda the Waitress.

All of the Sweeney Sisters skits.

Hmm, Brenda the Waitress link was to Hulu. Couldn't find it on YouTube, but it's properly embedded in this short article.

Loved the skit with Phil Hartman as Charlton Heston recording the audio tape for Madonna's "Sex" book. "I like my vagina..."

And actually, I think it may have been the same episode, with Danny Devito guest hosting in the early 90s, but they had each network's rendition of the made-for-TV movies about the Amy Fisher story. PBS had "The House of Buttafuoco", FOX had a 90210-style story with Tori Spelling as Amy, and there was a BET version.

Richard Dreyfuss, Bill Murray, Laraine Newman, Gilda Radner et.al. in the "Sex Quiz."

"You selfish porkface! Now I'll never be satisfied!"

I was right, those skits were all on the same show.

Oh, and Jane Curtin and Laraine Newman as two of the Manson girls, pushing "Human Hair Potholders."

The "(Do It on My) Twin Bed" video.

"And now it's a whole thing with Jean!"

Joey and Cindy Adams, "Only in New York," with Phil Hartman and Jan Hooks

It's not on the Internet, but the one with Christina Aguilera, Amy Poehler, and Rachel Dratch being old high society Bostonian women from thelate 19th century, and Dratch keeps saying bizarre words like "SCANDALAMITY!" and "REVULSIVE!" at the other two women's comments.

Also not on the Internet, but also hilarious: Christina Crawford's Christmas memories, with Jane Curtin as Joan and Gilda Radner doing her retarded girl character Colleen as Christina.

Jackie Rogers Jr's $100, 000 Jackpot Wad, with an increasingly unhinged Captain Kangaroo (Jim Belushi) as one of the guests.

Oops, here's the link to r71

Ross Perot (Dana Carvey) takes Admiral Stockdale (Phil Hartman) on a joyride to discuss Stockdale's bizarre performance in the 1992 vice-presidential debate.

Lily Tomlin's short film "From the Big Orange to the Big Apple" ....love it.

Dan Aykroyd as Julia Child getting an artery severed.

Unfrozen Caveman Lawyer.

Goth Talk, Randy's Redneck Tanning Parlor and Bill Haider as Keith Morrison on Dateline

Not the greatest but funny as hell. And everybody is about to break.

I loved pretty much every sketch where Eddie Murphy played Tyrone Green, the prison poet ("C-I-L-L My Landlord") and Dana Carvey was hysterical as Church Lady in the beginning (remember the episode where he interviewed Sean Penn, at the time married to Madonna?).

One sketch I remember vividly -- it was before my time, but I saw it somewhere -- was done when Hamilton Jordan, Jimmy Carter's press secretary IIR, was caught sniffing cocaine. They "interviewed" three characters, played by Jane Curtin, Garret Morris and Steve Martin, who all claimed to have witnessed the coke sniffing. It escalated until all three were claiming to have had sex with Margaret Trudeau and been abducted by aliens too. Unfortunately, it doesn't seem to be online anywhere.

Hey You..the Perfume for One Night Stands....

The sandwich sketch or the superhero apartment sketch with the original cast. Or possibly the first conehead sketch. Also loved Laraine Newman as child psychologist.

I consider the show to have ended when the cast were all let go and the subsequent iterations to be the zombified corpse of what was one of the greatest comedy shows ever. That's not to say some great talent wasn't on the show, but it was usually painful to watch.

Bill Clinton stops at McDonalds while jogging.

Eddie Murphy White Like Me. When the white people start partying on the bus after the black guy leaves was hilarious.

Schlitz Gay

^^^Or rather, Schmitts Gay

Link to the Pat Stevens skit upthread:

nbc.com/saturday-night-live/video/pat-stevens-cory-aquino/2868054?snl=1

Ugh—remove the spaces and the hyphen in "video" and 2868054

I also love the Pat Stevens skit with Dudley Moore (also up at NBC) where Pat reads viewer mail and answers a question: "What you're experiencing right now is a fashion feeling—like you want to commit suicide but you need to get your weight down first."

Linda Richman's Coffee Talk with Roseanne, Madonna and Barbra Streisand.

The JEOPARDY sketches with Will Ferrell as Alex Trebek are hilarious. Darrell Hammond as Sean Connery reading "Therapist" as "the rapist" -- Norm Mac Donald as Burt Reynolds, etc. The Final Js were always very funny.

Len Tukwila, Driftwood Sculptor. "First I sand the wood until it is smooth. Then I oil the wood until it is soft."

Has Lucy eating bad clams been mentioned yet?

Kellyanne Conway Fatal Attraction of Jake Tapper

Santa Baby-Psycho couple demands to meet Santa Claus at a party

Spokeswoman Joan Crawford for the United Face Bank.

Lily Tomlin's Ernestine and her commercial for the phone company (back when ma Bell was a monopoly).

First Citiwide Change Bank

Lily Tomlin moderates the first Debate '76 between Ford & Carter.

Samurai Night Fever skit. John Belushi as the samurai had a poster of John Travolta on the wall of his bedroom (in the movie there was a picture of Bruce Lee). OJ Simpson played the Father Frank-esque role and his wish, rather than not wanting to be a priest anymore was that he didn't want to be black anymore.

The "Schweddy Balls NPR" skit.

"Mr. Robinson's Neighborhood"

And as someone mentioned, "Coffee Talk" with Linda Richman (Mike Meyers), Liz Rosenberg (Madonna), and Roseanne Barr where Barbra Streisand pops out at the end.

I'm old, so I also like the "Nerds" sketches with Radner and Murray, and the Festrunk Brothers (Aykroyd and Steve Martin).

That Citywide Bank sketch reminds me of a bank sketch that Phil Hartman and Roseanne did; Hartman was the customer and Roseanne was the smart ass call center operator.

That's great one, R101:

R11 wins hands down - fucking love that scene! Miss Cheri.

alec baldwin canteen boy

Cheri Oteri - Simma down now always cracks me up.

Honey Pie sketch - so weird & funny! Ever time I see it I notice something new.

"Hidden Photo," a "Candid Camera" parody that was one of the only funny things from the dire Jean Doumanian era

Gilda Radner as singer Patti Cadwell with "Stretch Marks."

Any skit featuring The Sweeney Sisters

Loved the "Attitudes" sketches with Nora Dunn as Linda Dano. They may have been a little too spot-on, as evidenced by the driftwood clip above.

The Scientology spoof music video-Neurotology

R105 for you!

I loved Cheri Oteri's Judge Judy sketches.

Gilda as retarded Christina Crawford

Maine Justice. I love the slow realization that they are displaced Katrina survivors.

Kissing Family Christmas sketch. I loved the kiss between James Franco and Will Forte.

The "lost ending" to "It's A Wonderful Life"

James Brown's Celebrity Hot Tub (WARNING: turn down your speakers before playing)

R118 one of my all time favorite

Ellen Cleghorne's Joycelyn Elders (also up at NBC) was a scream.

They usually do a great job with the commercial parodies, but my favorite is for the adult diapers called "Oops, I Crapped My Pants". Just the way they keep repeating the full product name, and then when they take a gallon pitcher of iced tea and douse the diaper.., I remember the room of people I was with were howling with tears in our eyes.

All the various Maya Angelou skis over the years were great, whether she was played by David Alan grier 9as a guest) or Maya Rudolph. But the funniest of all of them was when she was Played by Tracy Morgan, hawking a greeting card line.

Any of the Dieter and Sprockets.

Gilda doing Patty Do ya want to Funk.

Gilda as Lisa Lubner

Robin Duke and Joe Piscopo as The Whiners

Mary Tyler Mooregasms

r124 That calls to mind Robin Duke and Mr. T doing "Mr. & Mrs. T."

Point/Counterpoint with Aykroyd and Jane Curtain. "Jane, you ignorant slut!"

Father Guido Sarducci

Terry Sweeney as Nancy Reagan

^^^Damn how could I forget that!

R106 That isn't an SNL skit - that's Exit 57, a short lived sketch show. It starred Stephen Colbert, Amy Sedaris and a few others.

The Norge repairman.

First ass crack on television

A lot of them, but two in particular from the early years. One was the takeoff on the old Ladies Garment Worker's Union "Look for the Union Label" commercial but done for the United Pot Growers of America.

The other was not just one skit but recurred throughout much of one week's show, culminating at the end. The set up was a very brief report on Weekend Update that a satellite with a nuclear core had crashed in the Arctic wastes of Canada. The report was just a few sentences and seemed like a joke that fell flat. Then there are one or two breaking news reports suggesting that the nuclear core has effected the wildlife in the area, including the lobsters. Again, these two breaking reports seemed like they were pushing a joke that wasn't really funny, although each bit was funnier than the last. The show ended with a giant lobster attacking the studio in the middle of an otherwise meaningless skit. Either Bill Murray of Dan Akroyd (can't remember which) narrates the attack, including repeating the "Ah, the humanity" line from the famous newsreel footage of the Hindenburg disaster. The show ends with the lobster's claw knocking over the camera and the screen dissolving into distortion. The buildup stretched across much of the show is was make the skit so funny, especially since you didn't really see the ending coming until the lobster attacked.

Bass-O-Matic

Every one of us would have killed for this.

Show us your guns!

R134 A gay writer Julio Torres wrote that sketch.

New Shimmer

Baba Wawa

R132 -- I was about to mention that "giant radioactive lobsters" sketch! Frickin' hilarious! They even had the audience get into the act, playing dead, bloodied victims. Don't forget the lobster claw tossing Belushi's headless, bee-costumed corpse onto the set, and the house band playing "Nearer My God To Thee"...

[quote]Either Bill Murray of Dan Akroyd (can't remember which) narrates the attack, including repeating the "Ah, the humanity" line from the famous newsreel footage of the Hindenburg disaster.

That was in fact the host, Robert Klein; Aykroyd and Murray were busy playing soldiers fighting off the monsters, lol.

The "Don Kirschner's Rock Concert" parody, with the "Village Persons" singing "Bend Over Chuck Berry"

Heroin A.M.

The first Debbie Downer sketch

Previously mentioned : the sinatra group

John Belushi as Steve Rubell. Sadly I can't find a clip.

From the early years, the Widettes, all with huge asses:

Are there any parody sketches of The View from the late 90s that are online somewhere?

Hmmm let me check.

Found one

Here you go

Thank R146 and R147. I always loved Tracey Morgan's Star Pig Jones impersonation.

You are welcome! I'm the same person. 😘

Happy Smile Patrol

The unintelligible Port Authority PA announcers with Harvey Keitel. When Ellen Cleghorn walked in, I about pissed my pants.

The "she's a Lesbian" sketch with Betty White. It's become a running gagain with me and my sister

John Belushi Donuts

Of course...

Attention Whore Kellyanne Conway musical

R12, I love Melanie Hutsell. Her Paula Deen is brilliant.

Thank you, R74! I've been trying to find that clip forever.

Another favorite I can't find anywhere is Phil Hartman as Frank Sinatra in a behind-the-scenes filming on the the making of his "Duets" album. Rosie O'Donnell plays Liza, James Taylor (the musical guest) plays himself and others play Anita Baker, Bono, Kenny G, Barbra Streisand, etc.

I can't find it either R156, but here's The Sinatra Group.

"I've got chunks of guys like you in my STOOL!"

^ NBC videos are broken here. :(

I was hoping to come across a video for …

The Claudine Longet Ski Shoot.

That was the sketch in which Claudine Longet’s gun accidentally goes off. Again. Again. Again.

R159 I remember the Claudine Longet Invitational Open. Every time they'd show a skier going downhill, you'd hear a gunshot, he'd wipe out, and Chevy Chase or Jane Curtin would say, "Oh! He's just been accidentally shot by Claudine Longet!"

That skit will never be seen again. It's one of only two times SNL had to publicly apologize for a skit and promise to never air it again to avoid a lawsuit.

Mary Katherine Gallagher wanting to join a gang and does a monologue from a TV movie.

Woody Allen at the cinema.

"That skit will never be seen again. It's one of only two times SNL had to publicly apologize for a skit and promise to never air it again to avoid a lawsuit."

That cant possibly be true since I've seen that bit and not the first time it aired.

You can pay $2 to see the Claudine Longet bit.

This sketch hit the Catholic Christmas mass spot on.

Joe Piscopo as Ronald McDonald still fucking kills me every time.

Depend Legends Commercial

I'm almost positive they showed a clip from the Claudine Longet sketch in at least one of the SNL anniversary specials.

R167, that was good but they will never top this one:

I loved the ski with William Shatner at the Trekkie convention: "Get a LIFE!"

Had a problem with that link to the Shatner sketch--here's another!

Last try (I promise!)

Stevie Wonder for the Kannon AE-1

ANY Dana Carvey as G H W Bush "na ga da"

Phil Hartman as the Anal Retentive Chef.

Buckwheat has been shot.

Happy fun ball

Dysfunctional family Christmas.

Dysfunctional Family Feud

Ed Grimley

Aykroyd pitching the Bass-O-Magic. That was truly groundbreaking live tv.

It looks like I can't post a YouTube linked video (tried repeatedly) but if you have Hulu look for all eps there.

When Garrett Morris did Tina Turner's Proud Mary, it was seared into my memory forever. If anyone can find a video link, I'd consider it a mitzvah.

I still remember all the lyrics to this rap song, which was intended as an apology to the Jewish community for a group's previous anti-Semitic lyrics. They performed a new song in which blame was shifted to the Italians. Yes, that is a young Al Franken pictured below.

"The Czechoslovakian Brothers: Two Wild and Crazy Guys!" Steve Martin and Dan Aykroyd

" . . . they pretended not to notice our bulges!"

Anyone recall that sketch that was interrupted by a audience member not pleased with the sketch's subject? Never could figure out if it was part of the sketch. I just remember it got awkward.

Bass-O-MATIC. DL is the champion for screwing up anything that's spelled correctly before you hit the post button.

I'm not successful in finding the SNL video clip of this skit (12/08/79), but here's the dialogue of "Chico Escuela's" (Garrett Morris) personal, and unfortunate, findings for WORST material for baseball bats. Classic.

Announcer: And now, "Weekend Update", with the "Weekend Update" news team. Here are anchorpersons Bill Murray and Jane Curtain.

Jane Curtin: And, an embarrassing note: 19-year-old Anita Dark of St. Petersburg, Florida, filed a paternity suit this week, and has claimed that the father is Weekend Update Sportscaster Chico Escuela. Ms. Dark alleged that she became intimate with Mr. Escuela last Spring, when Chico was in Florida attempting a comeback with the New York Mets. On advice from his lawyer, Chico can't comment on Anita Dark, but he is here this week to tell us about sports. Welcome home, Chico!

Chico Escuela: Thank you, Hane. Basebal bin berra berra good to me. Anita Dark bin berra berra good to me.. but Chico can't talk about it. In sports, Charles White won the.. how do you say.. Heisman Trophy. Now, look at this run. Charles White is the best football player. He runs with authority. Chico run from authority.. but I can't talk about it.

Uh.. Darrell Dawkins does it agian. Look at this. [ show video of slam dunk that shatters the glass backboard ] He break the glass! He break it! Why do they use glass? The backboard should be stronger! Should use cement.. or steel.. or iron. Not rubber! Rubber break! But I can't talk about it. Back to you, Hane.

Jane Curtin: Nice work, Chico.

I'm not successful with locating the SNL video clip of a Garrett Morris' "Chico Consulea" skit on Weekend Update (1979). But here's the dialogue of Chico's personal, and unfortunate, findings for the WORST material to use for baseball bats. Classic.

Jane Curtin: On an embarrassing note: 19-year-old Anita Dark of St. Petersburg, Florida, filed a paternity suit this week, and has claimed that the father is Weekend Update Sportscaster Chico Escuela. Ms. Dark alleged that she became intimate with Mr. Escuela last Spring, when Chico was in Florida attempting a comeback with the New York Mets. On advice from his lawyer, Chico can't comment on Anita Dark, but he is here this week to tell us about sports. Welcome home, Chico!

Chico Escuela: Thank you, Hane. Basebal bin berra berra good to me. Anita Dark bin berra berra good to me.. but Chico can't talk about it. In sports, Charles White won the.. how do you say.. Heisman Trophy. Now, look at this run. Charles White is the best football player. He runs with authority. Chico run from authority.. but I can't talk about it.

Uh.. Darrell Dawkins does it again. Look at this. [ show video of slam dunk that shatters the glass backboard ] He break the glass! He break it! Why do they use glass? The backboard should be stronger! Should use cement.. or steel.. or iron. Not rubber! Rubber break! But I can't talk about it. Back to you, Hane.

Jane Curtin: Nice work, Chico.

All skits are on the SNL app

Wasn't the Canteen Boy sketch with Alec Baldwin banned from the Comedy Central reruns?

The movie trailer parody sketch about the Christian baker who refuses to make a wedding cake for a gay couple-God Is A Boob Man

The Star Trek skit with Belushi as Captain Kirk.

Job interview skit with Chevy Chase and Richard Pryor

Nerds skit where Todd is trying to seduce Lisa Loopner; Gilda Radner is visibly breaking up in laughter at Bill Murray

Steve Martin and Gilda Radner dancing

Sex and the City spoof

The family that fed each other like baby birds.

Total Bastard Airlines:

will always love the Jeopardies

Gap Girls

This is pretty fucking funny, hope the link works.

A really great recent sketch

Hot tub sketch with Eddie Murphy playing James Brown.

Anything with Bill Hader, Kate McKinnon, Martin Short, John Belushi, Darryl Hammond, Gilda, even Mike myer's Barbra Streisand schtick. Bill Murray as the lounge singer at the airport bar.. Love the political stuff. Will Farrell's Bush with Darryl Hammond's Clinton, Dana Carvey's church lady, damn. So much. Fred Armisen's Obama was really good. I loved Tina Fey's Pailin and Melissa McCarthy's Spicer was just amazing.

My god how could I forget Eddie Murphy! Buckwheat! Velvet Brown, "Be a "ho!" And my favorite, Mr. Robinson's Neighborhood.

Keyrock unfrozen caveman lawyer always made me laugh. The Kristen Wiig skit in which she is the captain of a space ship that loses her purse was one of my favorites as well.

Target lady with Kristen Wiig. Also, her bubble sketch.

I love, love, love Jan Hooks....and appreciate her even more now.

This was one of many favorites.....Jan as Kathie Lee Gifford.

"I didn't evolve from you...."

I would love to see Steve Martin's opening monlogue on the night that Gilda Radner died. He showed a clip of the 2 of them dancing around the studio.

I absolutely love that clip but haven't seen it in years.

Chris Farley interviewing Paul McCartney.

For some reason, this always cracks me up.

"One Man's Demons." Phil Hartman and Demi Moore played a couple at home with Demi trying to do her end-of-the-day chores. Every time that she asks for help from her husband two demons show up around his shoulders but instead of these demons being one bad one good, both the evil beings encourage Phil Hartman to do only good yet he still seems to be conflicted.

Also..."Headgames." Phil Hartman was a horrible husband/father who kept berating his family on a game show.

The alternate Casablanca ending was pretty good. Elsa trying to get on the plane and Rick keeps talking.

Elsa: "And then next thing you know I'm sitting in a C.C. That's short for concentration camp. Is that something anyone says?" Rick: "Well don't think about that." Elsa: "Well you put it in my head and now all I can see is me behind barbed wire having to pick a child to shoot." Rick: "That's not going to happen, you don't have a child." Elsa: "I know Richard but they might make me choose for somebody else. Nazi's are weird like that."

When Bill Hader and Fred Armisen play Prince Philip and Queen Elizabeth with Andy Sandberg as the very clueless Prince William. . Outrageous! Laughed my ass off.

BIlly Crystal. Don't forget him"You look marvelous!" and Jon Lovitt's Pathological Liar. "Yeah, that's the ticket." I think Marton Short, Bill Hader, Will Ferrell, and Darryl Hammond are genius. Gilda Radner, Kristin Wiig, Tina Fey, Kate McKinnon, Cecily Strong, Molly Shannon, Maya Rudolph,

All sNL sketches are in the SNL app

Although it was a shitty year overall I really liked many of the sketches from the year with Terry Sweeney and Danitra Vance (RIP).

Sweeney's Nancy Reagan, of course, and Vance...well, everything.

R211 Not all of them are on there. There were some posters on reddit that mentioned that sketches that made music copyrights aren't on the app.

Just go to Yahoo entertainment and then to videos and search for SNL . YOu'll ge a bunch of videos. You can type in the comedian/actor you want to see and you get dozens of skits.

For R204:

*****sobs******

R215 - I love you to the moon and back.

When Kevin Spacey hosted they should have done a skit where he tried to seduce Canteen Boy

R217:

"We work at Jeffrey's!"

R69

That was Nora Dunn, not Hooks.

Thanks for tracking down that video, r215. I saw that show when it originally aired; I lost it when they first showed Gilda and the live audience applauded. Another moving moment is unfortunately cut off of the end: music director G.E. Smith performing a wistful little solo guitar song going into commercials (Smith was Gilda's first husband, with whom she remained friends).

"Don' You Go Rounin' Roun to Re Ro" or, trailer for every Guy Richie movie ever made.

"Point/Counterpoint"

Martin Sheen, sweaty, lying on a bed with rumpled sheets with a ceiling fan spinning overhead: Hollywood, I couldn't believe I was still only in Hollywood. It's a long sketch paralleling Coppola's excesses filming [italic]Apocalypse Now[/italic] with Kurtz' excesses in the movie. l I cried, it was just so perfect. I think Tom Davis, Franken's writing partner, played the Dennis Hopper part.

This is so disturbingly funny

"The Loud Family" - 1979

Favorite line: "The reason we've brought you girls into the kitchen to reprimand you is so your friends can't hear us yell at you!"

this Phil Hartman classic

"Fernando's Hideaway"!

Yoooooou look mahvelous, dahling!

The stupidity of this skit always makes me laugh.

Would have liked to see these hosts do another Workplace HR video, but I think this was the only sketch they used them for.

[R231], they did a dating video as well.

Schweaty Balls, and there was some skit that Tracey Morgan used to do. He played this dimwitted zookeeper?

The "Fernando's Hideaway" series with Billy Crystal. And the song/music video spin-off.

Not the greatest sketches, but the naughty elves sketch always made me laugh a lot.

The one with Mrs. Claus

Goat meat eaters being suggestive and Jon Hamm as that new Political dude who posed in the nude

Peach candle

“You’re a Rat Bastard, Charlie Brown.”

Performed by the New York Actors Studio!

And of course there’s Sumptin Claus — the Santa who caters to the naughty!

I can't find a clip of it, but the Mary Katherine Gallagher sketch with Rosie O'Donnell and Whitney Houston. Rosie was hilarious as the stern heavy-Irish-accent headmistress nun, and Whitney was really funny as the smug popular girl who of course can sing and gets the lead in the pageant.

Christmastime for the Jews. I miss TV Funhouse.

I'm sure this has been posted above (probably several times). But I feel like a good cry right now.

I recently came across one of SNL's Inside the Actor's Studio parody sketches. This was one was hilarious.

[quote]there was some skit that Tracey Morgan used to do. He played this dimwitted zookeeper?

That was Brian Fellows.

"Focus on Beauty II," with Christina Applegate as Cher. I usually don't like Chris Farley at all (I find him obnoxious), but he is hilarious as Lori Davis.

I love the Pete Davidson/Amy Adams spoof on Love Actually (a movie I fucking hate by the way).

Poehler and Fey as the Bush twins were pretty great.

This is parody sketch about romantic comedies was hilarious and would probably piss off SJWs.

Another Poehler & Fey classic: Meet Your Second Wife

I loved this sketch because of AnnE's impersonation of Katie Holmes

The Supreme Court in your bed.

Any sketch with Lisa Lubner.

The Cone Heads.

dan aykroyd Julia child Rosanne rosanndanna till they over did it. bill crystal harry shearer as male synchronized swimmer cheese burger again till they over did it. todd and lisa when dan aykroyd is fridge repairman. mr robinson neighborhood

Hanukkah Harry

This sketch never made it air. But, if had it would have been a viewer favorite.

Funniest skit ever. Then and now.

This is a good link for Steve Martin's tribute to Gilda Radner. She had died that Saturday afternoon. This video still breaks my heart after all these years.

What was the commercial about the meds for parents with gay kids?

R258 That was Homocil

Godfather Therapy with Elliot Gould as the therapist, John Belushi as Vito Corleone BUT

Lorraine Newman was like, move over boys. This skit is mine.

Therapist: Sherry, how do feel about what Vito just went through?

Sherry: Well, I thought it was really beautiful, and, like, I can really relate to what kind of changes Vito was going through, ‘cause I went through the same thing when I was deciding to be a stewardess. It was so weird. My friends… I’m not kidding, man, you know. Like, my friends kept asking me, “Gosh, Sherry, why do you wanna be a stewardess?” you know. And, like, I had to get super reflective and ask myself, well, “God, Sherry, why do you wanna be a stewardess?” You know, and, like, I realized that it’s 'cause I love people. I really do. I love to serve. I love to help try to fall asleep sitting up and everything, and, well, also, I really had to get out of Encino, man. It was really getting hairy, you know. Like, my boyfriend Brad and me were supposed to get married and everything, you know? So I was making a peach cobbler for his mother? And I overheard her say, “Look, the shiksa’s making us a Presbyterian pie!” Grossed me out royal, man. I thought, “Some people,” you know? So I knew I had a bitchin’ bod and a good personality, so, you know, I just left town, and I became a stewardess, you know? And then I grew sooo much emotionally, I just couldn’t believe it. 'Cause, like, I went back to Encino, and everybody seemed so immature! It was unreal, you know? You know, Doctor, I think that you’re… that Norman Mailer is right. You can’t go home.

Perhaps someone can find the link. I couldn't.

The Sweeney sister -clang clang went the trolley

"The Claudine Longet Invitational Ski Tournament"

r255, that was hilarious. Why didn't it air? Loved Kristen Wiig as the guilt-tripping mom and Andy Samberg as the bratty teen

R262: I think that’s the only skit SNL ever apologized for.

It's the one where Alec Baldwin plays the scoutmaster and Adam Sandler the scout. Alec Baldwin's pervy scout master keeps upping the ante, pedo wise, all in this loud cheerful voice, while Sandler tries to cope. The audience was in hysterics. I get why the show later had to emphasize that Sandler's character was 26 (ok), but sometimes something is just so fucking funny. It wasn't that it was pedo - it was Baldwin's absolutely cheerful, this is completely normal, confident, straight faced delivery, and Sandler's reactions.

I loved the Jackie Rodgers skit, the date that goes home to meet the family and they feed each other like birds, and one of my favorites, "Toonces The Driving Cat".

“Raise your hands, raise your voice, Give the chickens another choice.”

R3, what you just said. My favorite old school SNL show evr.

I cannot find Carl Sagan’s Global Warming Christmas Special, with Tom Hanks as Dean Martin. Perhaps it’s lost to history.

bass o matic

I loved the one with Ryan Gosling (trying not to cry).

R263 I'm guessing because it was quite long at seven minutes. The only part of that sketch that didn't care for what Kenan's "no one visits me uncle". Anne Hathaway was perfect as the drunk big mouth aunt.

Fred Garvin.

Male

Prostitute.

My favorite is Der Osten Squaren which was the East German version of Hollywood Squares. Kathleen Turner played one of the contestants and the joke was the celebrities would get up and leave their squares to defect to the West. One of them was an actress played by Jan Hooks. Her name was something like Wilma Gundegast. I haven’t been able to find it online for years.

"James Brown's Hot Tub"; "The Louds"; "Chico Escuela"; "The Wild and Crazy Guys"; "Steffan"; "Real Housewives of Disney"; "Sarah Palin" -

The night the Rolling Stones appeared to launch "Some Girs," the 'Weekend Update' desk had a field day with its release, particularly Garrett Morris' character commenting, " . . . Mistah Mick-ah Jaggah, you talk about how my ladies 'just wanted to get f*cked all night, but you ain't got that much time . . . '

"I just have one thing to say to you, Mistah Mick-ah Jagg-ah: 'Where are these babes at, man !!??"

SNL The Lonely Island - Jizz In My Pants

The first time Kate McKinnon did a Justin Beiber impression. She deserved the Emmy for this one skit.

Debby Downer in Disney World.

Jimmy Fucking Fallon ruined every sketch he was in because he'd break character and laugh when it wasn't part of the script. He must have sucked Satan's dick to get his latest gig.

I agree about Debbie Downer: Disneyland. I’ve never laughed so hard I thought I’d piss in my pants.

Favorite of All Time, easily: "Big Bitch Bull-Dyke Bustout of '89" with Nora Dunn as Leona Helmsley and Jan Hooks as Tammy Fay Bakker. Such a perfect collision of current events.

[quote]I agree about Debbie Downer: Disneyland. I’ve never laughed so hard I thought I’d piss in my pants.

And it would have been a better skit if fucking Fallon hadn't broke character.

Carrie Fisher hosting, playing Princess Leia as "teenager from outer space" in a musical parody of the Beach Blanket Bingo movies. Gilda as Annette : "I'm Annette, this is my boyfriend Frankie, and these are my breasts!"

Wish I could find a good clip. I still remember so many of the lines, all these years later. Dan Aykroyd as Vincent Price: "Leave the garlic out of shish kebab? My boy, I'd sooner slash my wrists."

Colonel Angus and his visit to Shady Thicket.

Here you go, R283, found it almost as soon as I searched. The skit's about 10 minutes in.

Thanks very much, r285. Your search was better than mine, which just linked to Hulu-protected content.

I had forgotten Aykroyd as Price brings Chubby Checker (Garrett Morris) back to the beach party for a Twist number. My brother and sister and I and our friends used to do that "Obi-Wan Kenobi" twist.

Pete Davidson and The Rock

Schmitts Gay Beer

R282 who DIDN'T break character in that sketch? They all laughed. Even Amy Poehler.

Newly relevant in the David Hogg era.

I loved the high school theatre sketch with Emma Stone and AIDS.

Old French Whore!

Girlfriends Talk Show sketches were funny with long suffering Morgan and Kyra the victim of statutory rape. I wish they still did these sketches.

gay related sketch

Crystal Gravy

youtube link to the She's Gotta a Dick trailer. I laugh at the SJW whiners in the comments section.

[quote] A parody of Natalie Cole's unforgettable that had Natalie Cole singing with other dead musicians...

God, I've been wanting to see this again for years. You'd think someone would have uploaded it somewhere by now.

The Killer Bees

"I laugh at the SJW whiners in the comments section."

I laugh at deluded Log Cabin Republicans who use "SJW" as an insult. Do the "SJW" trolls have to invade every thread?

I loved Ana Gasteyer's Martha Stewart impersonation.

Get us a table with a view. Kirsten's New Money, not Trolley Trash.

Matt Damon as Kavanaugh.

Stefon, Fred Garvin, Male Prostitute (Dan Ackroyd), Phil Hartman as Telly Salvalas in the Player with Yourselves Card commercials. Sinatra Group is my all-time favorite. Sprockets, Wayne's World, Church Lady. Weekend Update with Dennis Miller. The McLaughlin Group with Dana Carvey. I think the 85-93 cast was special.

It doesn't hold up but I remember thinking Phil Hartman stomping at McDonalds as Bill Clinton was hilarious and John Malkovich and Rob Schneider as Lyle and Erik Menendez.

Chris Farley as Carnie Wilson

No love yet for DL fave Janet Jackson and the Italian men of the winery and their zeal for soaking cork?!

There's one from the first few seasons that's more like a mini play. Someone is selling Christmas trees, a woman (Laraine Newman?) playing a prostitute offers the tree-seller some action for a tree so they go off to do that and Bill Murray shambles along and takes over as the tree-seller.

Any ideas, dear DL lovelies?!?

A recent one

Super Showcase Spokesmodels

Dick in a Box

Dana Carvey doing George Bush St.

The Claudine Longet Invitational, where all the skiers would wipe out accompanied to the noise of a rifle going off as jane Curtin would announce, "Oops... Claudine was cleaning her gun right then..."

So funny

Not sure why this was cut for time.

My Little Step Children

I'm not really a Chris Farley fan, but he was brilliant--and what is more, EXCITING!--as Lori Davis in "Focus on Beauty II."

Melanie Hutsell is great too: "I use it.... but I hate it."

r316, that's hilarious!

LOL, R316. The Twitter outrage that skit would cause now.

Oy, here come the Republicans to complain about "twitter outrage" (meanwhile they are outraged by things like trans people, Mexicans, Muslims.....)

There was a sketch from Heather Locklear's episode back in the 90s where she played a racist and anti-Semitic woman hosting an infomercial. The full sketch isn't online at NBC.com.

YouTube is not the only video site hosting SNL clips.

I found the Natalie Cole "Unforgivable" sketch on Vimeo. Enjoy

^ Love Chris Farley as Mama Cass!

I can't find it online, but Geena Davis did a very funny sketch where she teaches women how to be game show hostesses.

Another vote for the "Cork Soakers" sketch.

Maya Rudolph as Donatella. Inspired!

Haven't been able to find the Julia Louis-Dreyfus sketch where she does Londa Ronstadt's "What's New?"

Oops. LINDA Ronstadt.

39 Cents, starring guest host Bill Hader.

The panel discussion commemorating the 20th anniversary of the JFK assassination. Alas, only the transcript seems to be available.

Massive Headwound Harry...the part with the dog is so classic

R307/R324 here is the "Cork Soakers" sketch.

75% of these links don't even work and some of the shit ones force you to dl shit.

What's all this I hear about presidential erections?

Foreshadowing Bill Clinton..

Glad I sat through r334 long enough to see William Demarest and Michael J. Fox. Worthwhile!

[quote]Richard Pryor and Chevy Chase doing a sketch that would never get on TV today.

Chase wasn't doing a sketch...

[quote]No love yet for DL fave Janet Jackson and the Italian men of the winery and their zeal for soaking cork?

Indeed!

I am hoping John Mulaney will render at least one new one when he hosts tonight.

I loved the Escalade hood girl skit

[quote] Show us your guns!

The idiot talking over the SNL video in r135 must have been too young to realize this was a parody of the old cigarette commercial

More in next post

Which Stan Freburg had already done much better for pizza rolls

And finally to answer the Op from 2017, there is Janeane Garafalo singing The Nut-Rific Jingle

R352, you’d be shocked how often that jingle still goes through my head.

Ed Grimley -- in anything

Christopher Walken as The Continental (?) Was that his name? He was like a deranged Pepe LePew in a smoking jacket, trying to keep a woman from leaving his apartment. BUT we never saw her; all we saw was her gloved hand. Half the time, his fake mustache would come unglued. These were the cheesiest skits which made them all that much funnier. Now I have to look for clips....

The Continental

Another Continental clip....

Unfortunately not online....

Puppy Uppers & Doggy Downers

The mock commercial for speed that ends with someone (?Jane Curtin) folding boxes, folding boxes, folding boxes....

R352 God, Janeane was hot back then.

My favorite Janeane commercial.

It usually bugs me when the performers break but that Disneyland skit gets me every time.

Also the paranormal encounter skits, because who could possibly keep a straight face when Kate McKinnon gets going.
