What is your favorite Saturday Night Live skit?

I love that show!
There are two main regular skits that I like more than any others.
Tina Fey on Weekend Update, and the Celebrity Jeopardy skits. I think Tina is simply hilarious, (and a little hottie 😉 )And the Jeopardy ones with Connery and Burt Reynolds characters are just too much.

Joby

JoBelle,
How could I forget the Celebrity Jeopardy skits!!!
I have a few in mpeg clips.

Ray, the old "Point/Counterpoint" segments have me rolling on the floor just thinking about them. The look on Ackroyd's face while replying was worth millions.
Meanwhile, the look on Jane Curtin's face while Gilda was doing Rosanna or Emily Litella was worth just as much.
The first one to do news for the deaf was Garrett Morris. From the first season with Chevy Chase in the cast: "Francisco...Franco...is...still...dead!!!!"
Later on, Dana Carvey was one of my favorites. His George Bush Senior was priceless, among the many other things he did...

Just a note.

Garret Morris = SNL of the 1970s.

Eddie Murphy = SNL of the 1980s.

That's the news and I am out of here.

Oh my Lord. Well I only got old enough to stay up and watch in the mid-nineties, but I've seen a bunch of the old ones on E!, so I have a few from various periods.

From the 70's, the ep with Candace Bergen. There was a skit in which she was sitting on a couch with Gilda Radner, talking about I think cures for incredibly stupid people. And Candy flubs a line and calls Gilda by HER character's name, and just loses it for the rest of the skit. She starts laughing into a pillow, while Gilda effortlessly adlibs the rest, making sure to add a smart-ass remark about Candy being one of the affore-mentioned incredibly stupid people.

I also love anything with Lisa Loopner, Emily Litella, Roseanna Rosannadanna... I love Gilda!

From the Mike Myers era, the ep with Miranda Richardson, in which Myer's character Dieter has a Dream. And of course it's crazy disturbing abstract German stuff, involving a guy dressed as a deer, that old fat man, a chicken (of course), and Richardson dressed as both a ***** and a nun.
"I am a *****."
"I am a nun."
"*****."
"Nun."
"*****nun."

From the more recent cast, I love the skit with Sean Hayes working in the snooty clothing store with Jimmy Fallon, in which they keep making fun of everyone who wants to buy something. And of course the whole thing falls apart, because Jimmy can't ever keep a straight face, and Sean Hayes ends up laughing too hard to say his lines. You can even see Will Ferrell struggling to keep a straight face on his teeny tiny cell phone.

From one of the Jack Black eps, the hillbilly sktech.
"I told you, birds is magic!"

The Jennifer Aniston sketch in which she and Rachel Dratch are 19th Century British street urchins being used as lawn ornaments, and they keep doing little songs and jigs.
"If you'd open your hearts and feed us,
Oh, how it would please us.
Just a morsel of beef in our tiny bellies,
And we'd be on the crapper for days!"

"Please, sir, we don't need much, just a pile of straw and a hankerchief to cough blood into."

"I'd share my bread to be with you.
I'd sell my hat to be with you.
I'd shine your shoes to be with you.
I'd put a peach pit in my bum for you!
I'd kill a stranger with a knife for you!
I'd decapitate a ***** for you!"

Damn I love that show.

Mwah!

Church Lady was one of my favorite characters...also ummm anybody remember Toonces the driving cat....or the coffee talk with madonna and roseanne and streisand showed up and mike myers face was priceless....i loved watching kevin nealon and dennis miller doing the news....the cheerleader skits with will ferrel and cheri oteri were cute...the motivational speaker, matt something who lived in a van down by the river...oooh and when garth brooks hosted and had the skit with mango and couldn't get mango out of his head....i do agree though the earliest stuff was the funniest stuff (i wish i could've seen the 70's stuff)

 

[giantfan121262]

I love it

Man, I can't get over the fact that everyone remembers everything so well. I have to admit, I haven't seen much of the newer stuff, sort of lost interest in the early to mid 80's.

How could anybody forget the Cheeseburger, Cheeseburger, Cheeseburger, Cheeseburger. I think it really set the tone for Steve Martins career because he went on to do some really good movies after that. Eddie murphy for that matter as well. I remember him doing his impersonation of Buckwheat, as well. The Julia Child skit was also priceless. I wish I remember some of the skits as well as you but I was probably flying on a 747 more than half the time 🙂

 

[tickle4fun]

the original cast had some of the best skits ever but my favorite recent skits are the "Jeopardy" skits with Sean Connery. "I'll take anal bum cover (topic was "An album cover") for $40, Tribec." Those skits make laugh just thinking about them!

"THE MR. BILL SHOW"

😱OHHHHHHHHHH!!!

Those filmed sketches with that clay doll getting kicked around, torn apart, and flattened were the funniest things I ever seen.

Let's see, my brother and I have just about MEMORIZED every single celbrity jeopardy skit. I also love when Darrel Hammond does Clinton, because I hate him. CHURCH LADY IS THE BEST!!!! Dana Carvey is HILARIOUS! He does a great George Senior, and when Will is George W. it's just great. Mr. Peepers is also a funny character and of course, Wayne's World. Gilda Radner and Bill Murray's skits were always hilarious, although they kinda make me sad. I watch way too many re-runs of this freakin show!
