Top 100 "Saturday Night Live" Sketches Ever
Andrew Hicks
I was bored today and had nothing to do, so I pulled out my trusty
"SNL" episode guide and decided to go through and rank my favorite
sketches of all-time. I've been a huge fan of "SNL" since watching the
15th Anniversary special at the age of 11. I've since seen nearly every
episode in the twenty plus years of the show and taped my favorites
from the Chase/Aykroyd era on. These are, of course, my own
individual favorite sketches and commercials. I don't list them as the
indisputable best the show has ever done, they're the ones I've watched
over and over and still laugh at. If someone else wants to put together
their own list of favorites, I'd love to see it.
100. Total Bastard Airlines (1993-94) Rude airline employees assualt
their customers with buh-byes as they deplane. With Helen Hunt.
99. Ed Glosser, Trivial Psychic (1992-93) Christopher Walken's
parody of his Dead Zone role. Here, his character learns insignificant
details about the people he shakes hands with.
98. Italian Restaurant (1991-92) Kirstie Alley and Kevin Nealon have
dinner in a restaurant full of horny Italians expressing unusual public
displays of affection.
97. Amazing Time Savers (1993-94) The phone board lights up with
every racial slur from host Heather Locklear. "This pasta maker is so
easy even a Puerto Rican could use it."
96. NFL on NBC (1995-96) After his acquittal, OJ shows up at his
old job outlining a particular play that also happens to spell out "I did
it." The only truly funny sketch of this season.
95. COMMERCIAL: Shimmer (1975-76) It's a floor wax _and_ a
dessert topping!
94. Sting in an Elevator (1990-91) Fellow passengers Kevin Nealon

"Step one, we're going to install a national curfew--lights out, 8:30.
You might say to me, 'Ross, what am I going to do after 8:30 with no
electricity?' Well, I'd suggest you get some sleep. You'll be glad you
did when you hear that national wake-up siren at 4:45 am. And you
won't sleep through it either. It'll be LOUD!"
89. Perot and Stockdale (1992-93) The equally-hilarious sketch
where Perot ditches Stockdale on the side of the road and Stockdale
catches up to the car, Terminator-like.

Spade to tread the road of right, lest they become like him, "living in a
van down by the river."

of contestants that talk just like him, the object of the game being to
make up the right joke for any given topic. "Grape Nuts--you look
inside, there's no grapes, no nuts. What's the deal?!" and "Oprah--
She's fat, she's thin, she's fat, she's thin. Good God, woman, pick a
body and go with it!"
86. COMMERCIAL: Elizabeth Taylor's White Diamonds (1993-94)
With Sally Field as Liz. Filmed exclusively with angles and lighting
designed to conceal her age.
85. Jesse Jackson's monologue (1984-85) He talks about how happy he

group of blacks come in.

is Len Tukwilla, driftwood sculptor (John Malkovich) .

you send all your trash into your neighbor's yards.

1. Jaws II (1975-76) A landshark attacks single women in their

Like I said, this is a highly subjective list. I know people who hate the
Jaws II sketch, along with some of the other highly-ranked sketches.
Others of you may not be partial to certain eras like the Carvey /
Hartman or Crystal / Short ones. My favorite sketches are spread out
evenly through the years. The only seasons that didn't have at least one
sketch placing in the Top 100 were of course 1980-81 and 1976-77
and 1979-80. I don't know why there weren't any from those last two
seasons, there just weren't. I'd be interested in all your opinions of
this
post, including your own top sketches over the years and impressions
of the sketches I picked as my favorites.

Great list; brought back lots of memories.
Some of my favorite SNL sketches include the commercial for Colon
Blow, and Daily Affirmation with Stuart Smalley, wherein he
interviews Michael Jordan. Where would you rank these?

Along the same lines, the first McLaughlin Group sketch was hilarious,
and really holds up over time (I taped it and happened upon it the other
day). One of Carvey's all-time best impersonations, IMHO. The way he
riffed on making the panelist's names sound ridiculous was right on the
money. Not to mention his imperious declarations that everyone's answer
but his was "WRONG!".
And of course, I would include ANY of his Perot impersonations as classic
sketches.
As for the early days, the first few Samurai sketches are classics, as
well as the smarmy Buck Henry "uncle" who babysat for Gilda and Larraine
while wielding a Polaroid camera...
I agree--a great list which brought back fond memories...too bad the
current show is taking such a slow, downward slide.
DONNA ANSTEY
Wonderful Life," wherein Uncle Billy remembers where he lost the $8000, and
George (Dana Carvey), Mary (Jan Hooks) and the townspeople proceed to beat the
crap out of Mr. Potter. (Don't know the year, sorry.)
You also didn't rank another of my faves--"Mel Gibson, Dream Gynecologist."
(1989?) But I somehow suspect you have to be female to truly appreciate that
one.
And "Sincere Joe Montana" would be much higher on my list.
Andrew Hicks
one of my favorites definitely and would probably go in between #13 and 14 if I
redid the list. Two others I left out are Massive Headwound Harry (added to the list
in my repost instead of "The Bob waltman Special" sketch where Nealon makes Lenoa
Helmsley, Tammy Faye Baker, Marion Barry and Ronald Reagan cry) and the 5-Timers
Club sketch... As for Colon Blow, I've always liked that commercial but wouldn't
exactly include it in the Top 100. Maybe if I do a Top 200...

As an aside, Conan O'Brien wrote this sketch and Sting, on his show,
said no one ever did that in real life until *after* he did the skit on SNL.

> TOP 100 "SNL" SKETCHES OF ALL-TIME
I really liked the sketch with Burt Reynolds where he shows up at the
family house to take the two teenage daughters (played by Gilda and Laraine)
off for a few hours of debauched sex (but not the whole night; he will
kick them out around 2am).
And the skit about the squatters (people who walked funny looking for a
place of their own).

I've always been partial to the Happy Fun Ball commercial --- it's
happy, it's fun, it's happy happy fun ball, but there are just a *few*
things that you shouldn't do with it.
Actually, that one went down well with a lot of people I know. Anyway,
have a nice day. (And remember, do not taunt Happy Fun Ball).
Erin Hope Blockley
Lots of church lady sketches on that list...
I personally laughed my head off when Rob Lowe was a guest, and the church
lady gave him a paddling (THANK YOU CHURCH LADY! MAY I HAVE ANOTHER?!) :)

"Name something you eat with eggs" -- "Fibreglass."
The Loud family
The family where they all has huge backsides. The daughter (played by
Gilda Radner) was feeling sick, so mom (Jane Curtin) got out a thermometer
to take her temperature. It was a rectal thermometer, so it was also huge.
The daughter was upset at the notion. They went offstage into another room
of the house, and you heard the daughter scream.
Fred Garvin, male prostitute
There was some sketch about highschool social worker and a couple of kids
played by Newman and Murray. "Gosh, my penis sure hurts when I urinate."
It was determined that the girl had a venereal disease. Announcment at a
school football gam went something like "If anyone has had sex with (Cindy
so-and-so) please report to the school nurse."

Radner and Murray are doing a domestic violence scene, it escalates, the
baby is crying, Murray picks it up, yells "Shut up! Shut up! SHUT UP!"
and then holds the baby over his head.
Director: "Cut! Bring in the Stunt Baby!"
Cute baby is brought out. Director: "Now Skippy, you know your motivation
in this scene, right?" "Ga goo!" replies Skippy.
Babies are swapped.
"Action!" Murray proceeds to destroy apartment with baby, finally throws
him against window and behind couch.
"Cut! Great take, folks" The actors congratulate each other and exit.
The director goes over to the couch. "Hey Skippy, you ok?"
From behind the couch we hear a tremulous "gaa goo..."
I was in a roomfull of college kids way back when that one first showed
and the response to the stunt-baby line was a communal gasp.

Marlene Blanshay
lecherous babysitter, who would babysit Gilda Radner and Laraine
Newman. He' take photos of them pulling up their nightgowns, sliding
down the bannister and pretending to do HORSEY on the arms of the
sofa. Apparently, Roy was loosely based on a real character known by
one of the writers, and he was rather creepy, but he was so
hilarious. Buck Henry really did some great characters.
Another one which I still laugh about was The Babe Ruth story, with
John Belushi playing babe RUth hitting a home run for a little dying

was actually very funny.
