Funniest Sketch Ever
Aazaz
Last Saturday's "Family Dinner" Sketch was the funniest one I have EVER
seen in my entire life. A lot of people, including me, can really relate
to it and see the humor. Buffy was great. I couldn't stop laughing
throughout the whole sketch. BEST one ever!!!
P.S. Shut up you drunken witch!!!!!!!!!! I wish you were dead!!!!!!!!!

Better than Master Thespian as Santa Claus? And Martin Short doing
synchro-swimming?
I think not.

Ford Coppola was superb. Actually that was the only show from start to finish
that was superb. The concept was that SNL sucked so badly, that new parent GE,
was going to pull the plug on SNL unless Coppola could somehow save it. The
great sketches in this show included:
1) That Black Girl-superb acting by the late danitra vance as she went from the
black marlo thomas as the sparkledent girl-a take off on that girl into a
militant angela davis type courtesy of Coppola and some waspy writers (who were
hysterical)
2) Master Thespian-begging so that electronic fire from the broadcasting dragon
known as nbc will never be extinguished!
3) Terry Sweeny-as a sycophantic gay helper (was he acting??)
4) George Wendt opening monologue-as coppola directs the audience when to laugh
and makes Wendt repeat his monologue till they get it right
5) Randy Quaid, George Wendt and Jon Lovitz-as battle scarred veterans who
refuse to fight due to coppolas ranting-great takeoff on Apocalypse Now
If we put it to a vote, of longtime snl fans- i think you would all have to
agree it was the most consistently funny SNL ever. Even the commercial, where
Tommy Flanagan (pathological liar) first tells Coppola he is Grant Tinker (then
prez of NBC) and then when a Tic-Tac commercial is being shown-Coppola stops
the commercial in midair-yells at Flanagan and tells him that he agreed to no
commercials. meanwhile flanagan goes to look for his wife, Morgan Fairchild

The best sketch every had to be when Norm as Bob Dole meet Bob Dole as
Bob Dole. I practically blew a lung.

Sketches, especially the one with Howard Cosell, or Doug & Wendy Weiner,
or the Frankie & Willie sketches ("I hate when I do that"), or any of the
Samurai sketches, or Theodoric of York, Medieval Judge, or the Festrunk
Brothers sketches, or the time that Joe Piscopo, Eddie Murphy AND Jerry
Lewis all imitated Jerry Lewis, or Kate (Hepburn) and (Mohammed) Ali, or
one of my all-time favorites, the game show "The Question is Moot!" with
your host Jesse Jackson? I could go on and on.
Sorry, that Family Dinner sketch was IMHO one of the lamer things I ever
saw on that show.

Paul, I agree that this show was a memorable one, and the Lovitz/Hartman era had
plenty of bright spots, but I think that there were several sketches in the
Billy Crystal-Martin Short-Christopher Guest era that were some of the best
ever. Certainly the the Jackie Rogers Jr. Million Dollar Jackpot Wad with Billy
doing Sammy Davis, Jr. Chris Guest played an effeminate guy from India named
Rajiv Vindaloo. I cried from laughing so hard when I saw that skit. Harry
Shearer was also in the cast back then. Some brilliant comedians/writers no
doubt! The show Eddie Murphy hosted with that cast was a particular favorite of
mine... had Gumby in the Jewish deli.
Of course, the original cast had many awesome shows and sketches, and the
Murphy/Piscopo era had some great highlights. And let's not forget that the
Carvey/Myers/Farley period (the last significant one IMO) was as good as any in
SNL history.

Yeah, those was hilarious. I felt bad that Danitra couldn't get much work after
she left the show, and I've not heard what happened to Terry Sweeney either.

Lovitz is a wasted talent right now... a shame.

This show was broadcast on the Canadian Comedy Channel yesterday. Noteable
for the use of the word "gook" in the Apocalypse Now parody (for those
keeping track of bad words on SNL).

Shearer was playing Mike Wallace. Yet another great skit... they were trying to
nail "Ping E. Lee" for the faulty whoopie cushions.

Carvey was awesome, even when the material was so-so.

And even more come to mind:
The Bob Uecker show when the goodnights start out with Billy Crystal &
Harry Shearer as Joe Garagiola & Vin Scully "up in the booth", and then
throwing it down to Ueck & the rest of the cast on the main stage.
Lovitz's Devil & the young hairdresser on People's Court: "The Beautician
& the Beast"
Gary Kroeger's dating service video as Dr. Ira Needleman, shot on film
like a real music video. Huge tubes of toothpaste squirting all over
long-legged beauties in the dentist's chair.
Ed Begley (Jr) materializes on-camera as a time traveller from the
future, desperately in search of Julia-Louise Dreyfus. When he finds her
backstage, he takes two great handfuls of her ... great handfuls. I can't
remember if he goes "a-ooga" or not.
How bout Captain Macho (Hugh Hefner) & his spaceship crew who do battle
against Captain Aureole? (Jane Curtin) and her crew.
Ackroyd & Belushi as Nixon & Kissinger in the Final Days.
And probably my favorite cold opening of all time, Belushi holds the show
hostage and reads a list of demands. He's tricked into delivering the
line "Live from New York,..." and is powerless to stop the show from
starting up. This piece is IMHO absolute genius & one of the funniest
things I'VE ever seen.

This would probably make my nomination for best SNL character
ever. It's a take-off from 60 Minutes, but works for any prying "news
magazine" that runs into a lawyer who is hiding everything.
Where to begin? The slicked down hair. The rounded glasses.
The cigarette that is never tapped (and the ash grows longer and

I thought this was the funnest thing Kroeger did on SNL, next to the time he
showed up on Weekend Update claiming there was some sort of conspiracy because
every time he put on a new shirt he'd bleed. (George Carlin, who was doing the
news, said, "Kroeger, you're a moron" and pointed out that Gary'd forgotten to
remove the pins holding the shirt in place.)
I remember that Siskel & Ebert rated some of SNL's filmed clips, and blasted the
Needleman video.

Shearer, an underrated writer and cast member, shone in this piece, but Marty
Short stole the show with the lawyer bit.

Two more worth mentioning are the Ricky Nelson/Twilight Zone
sketch--they were able to cram Ozzie & Harriet, Leave It To Beaver, Make
Room For Daddy, Father Knows Best, The Twilight Zone, Alfred Hitchcock,
George Burns, and I Love Lucy all into one ten-minute sketch!
Also, the Star Search parody with Damon Wayans as an "angry" comic (he
unintentionally gets the giggles), Dennis Miller doing a VERY wooden
"Cheeseburger, cheeseburger, cheeseburger!" bit, and Randy Quaid as Ed
MacMahon eating a can of Alpo dog food!
But the all-time classic has to be Dan Aykroyd as Julia Child bleeding
to death ("Why are you all spinning? SAVE THE LIVER!")

>>>4) Nervous Laywer - Martin Short as the nervous lawyer with Harry Shearer as

another typically and immensely inaccurate insight from tepper. the nathan
thurm character was based on his nervous and weaselly attempts to squirm out of
trouble. the mainway character was a brazen liar and sleazebag.

It was a shining moment. One of my favorites. How about this one, also
with Harry Shearer (as Lord Salisbury):
"Well, well, well, I was just asking Lord Sandwich, "Where the devil are
those Douchebags?"
An absolute riot. I also loved the more recent show with Sting where
Hartman did "The Sinatra Group" (a la John McLaughlin) with Steve and
Edie (Myers & Jackson), Sting as Billy Idol, Jan Hooks as Sinead
O'Connor, and Chris Rock as Luther Campbell:
"Issue number three: This bald chick, what's with her head? Let's start
with the chick. What gives, cue ball? I'm lookin' at you, I'm thinkin'
fourteen in the side pocket."
I laughed so hard I thought I was going to pass out.

That was also funny when Sting (as Billy Idol) starts beating the shit
out of Steve (Mike Myers?).

They show the OLD SNL's here in Canada on the weekends. I don't like
them as much anymore as the ones in the late 80's. I used to, but now
I find it hard to relate to the comedy, and it just doesn't seem as
funny as when I was a kid.

Yesterday's was terrific. The first-ever show of Dana Carvey, Phil Hartman
and Kevin Nealon. They all really got into it quickly with Carvey's first
sketch ever being the Church Lady and Nealon doing Subliminal Man. They go
in order so for the next few months on the Comedy Network, SNL will be in
its prime. I can't wait!

Stay tuned for the one hosted by Chevy, Steve Martin AND Martin Short, one
of my all-time favorites, possibly one of the best and most exciting of
that particular season! Stumblebums Anonymous, you'll love it! Also, you
won't want to miss the Rosanna Arquette episode, with the White Trash
Hairdresser vs. Satan, and Sammies ("Aw, who'm I kidding? That's another

Ciampawamba, i agree with you wholeheartedly!!! While people always praise the
boys of that golden era (lovitz, carvey, etc), it was the women who were
superb. Nora Dunn and Jan Hooks, IMHO were better than Radner and Curtain-as
the latter was really weak-always playing cold WASP-like women. Who in this
newsgroup never laughs out loud upon seeing
"The Sweeny Sisters???"

Sorry, I thought the thing that brought down the whole "Golden Era" were the female cast members. I thought they were horrible, exception for a few times. But mostly..BleCH!

I've been watching (and suffering through) SNL for 20 years. That's a
loooong time.
Hands down, the funniest sketch I've seen during those 20 years is
"Massive Headwound Harry." "Funniest" is subjective, of course, but
those who've seen the sketch know what I'm talking about. The cast
members were having a very difficult time keeping a straight face, and
who could blame them!

Patrick Swayze and Chris Farley as the Chippendale dancers.
Steve Martin and the whole cast singing at the beginning of the show. "Not
gonna phone it in tonight. Not gonna be lard asses tonight."
The first appearance of Matt Foley, motivational speaker.
Tom Hanks becoming a member of the 5 Timers Club.
Robert Wagner as the sloppy eater.
George Steinbrenner as the owner of the convenience store. "I can't fire
people. It's not in my nature"
The Bass-o-Matic commercial
Roseanne and Dana Carvey in the Misery sketch
Lyle, the Effeminate Heterosexual
Adam Sandler and Chris Farley in the Schmidt's Gay beer commercial.
Any Hans and Franz sketch.

The names of those sketches are the "Herlihe <SP?> Boy" sketches. I
think they appeared in the 93-94 season.

There was an episode with John Belushi standing behind Joe Cocker, while he
was singing his heart out, acting all twisted, had me rolling in laughter for
hours.

This was broadcast yesterday (Sat.) in Canada ... one of my all time
favorite shows. I remember seeing this Belushi/Cocker segment when it was
first on, I just about shit my pants laughing!!

Hey, what's that awful smell in here?!?
Anyway, I believe I read somewhere that it was Belushi's impersonation of
Cocker during his audition that landed him a spot on The Not Ready for
Prime Time Players.

That reminds me...how long until we see a "Best of Chris Farley" videotape?
I hope it's at least 2 hours.

He had done this impression on SNL at least twice before he did it with
Cocker.

Lemmings" stage show in '73, which was his first big break as a
performer), but he auditioned as the Samurai. Lorne was apparently very
wary about signing him up (his bad-boy image was already in place by
that time), but his audition was a tour de force. But his Cocker is, of
course, classic - Joe apparently knew 'bout it beforehand (note the two
mics on stage), but he still didn't look terribly pleased. (Check out
his hesitance to John's attempted handshake/hug at the end.) That whole
ep's a classic through and through (Eric Idle hosted that one, right?),
which brings me to an off-topic suggestion to the folks at NBC: if, as
they're intending, they're gonna start running "SNL" repeats as a
late-late-night feature, why not drag some vintage shows out of the
vault now and again? I remember them running the Paul Simon
Thanksgiving show from '76 (the one where he appears in a turkey suit)
as an "SNL Classic" back in '91 or so 蔓I was hoping they'd do that kind
of thing semi-regularly after that, but they never did. Not to slight
the current cast or anything, but better to show a "classic" once in a
while than rerun a recent show a third and a fourth time, which they do
far too much. Whattaya ya'll think?

one of the funniest was bill murray as todd trying to seduce gilda
radner as lisa at todd's brother's apt. that show also featured the
'pepsi syndrome' sketch.

I really like the Rosanna Arquette show, too, but I can't watch it
without all of the production errors jumping out at me. If you
remember, the episode was originally not shown the night it was taped
because a World Series game ran too long. So by the time it _was_
shown, Lorne had gone back and edited the air show and the dress
rehearsal show together. This is most evident in the Church Chat
sketch, when the Halloween decorations on the Church Lady's desk keep
appearing and disappearing. Also, it's obvious that a laugh track
(gads!) has been added, especially during the People's Court sketch, and
the bit where Tommy Flanagan tries to pass himself off as Lorne.
