I remember the days when Saturday Night Live could always be guaranteed to be hilarious.
It's just so-so these day.

Remember some of the old skits and fake commercials they used to do?
Some of them were brilliant.
Like this one:

Happy Fun Ball!

I couldn't find this video anywhere on Youtube but I did find it on Google video.

How about you?
Got any funny SNL skits to share?

I always loved the Celebrity Jeopardy skits. Best ones were when they had "Sean Connery" on it.
A few of my other favorites are the "More Cowbell" skit, the "Killer Bees" skit from the original cast, and "James Brown's Celebrity Hot Tub" with Eddie Murphy. However the best skit of all for me has to be when Richard Pryor and Chevy Chase did the word association bit.
Movie Trivia Fact : O.J. Simpson was considered for the title role in The Terminator, but producers feared he was \"too nice\" to be taken seriously as a cold-blooded killer.<br />Isn\'t hindsight great.<br />A person is smart. People are dumb, panicky dangerous animals and you know it. - Agent Kay - Men in Black

I love the Waynes World skit where Wayne and Garth meet Madonna in her "Justify My Love" video.   :bouncegiggle:

The Continental starring Christopher Walken has never ceased to be funny over the years.  My favorite is when he gets maced by some chick, and he screams, then goes, "Only kidding.  I've been sprayed so many times I'm immune."

Also:
Of the current season, I personally love the MacGruber skits.  Parody of MacGyver, and he'll be trapped in a room with two other people about to explode with a minute left.  He'll see a stick of gum, a dog turd and a safety pin.  He'll be like "Hand me that pin, hand me that turd." Then the person's like, "I don't wanna touch dog poop."  MacGrubers like, "4 seconds left, just give it to me or we're gonna blow" and then the explosion happens.

Don't get too close, it's dark inside.

I'm with meQal and Happy about the "Celebrity Jeopardy" and "MacGruber" skits.

Alex Trebek: "This is the sound a doggie makes."
Sean Connery: "Moo!"
Trebek: "That's incorrect."
Connery: "Well that's the sound your mother made last night!"

The Final Jeopardy stuff was always great, like when Connery answered "indoors", but when you saw the wager the two lines spelled out "I <3 BooBs". :bouncegiggle:

"Don't make me stain my last clean shirt with the back of your head." - Shatter Dead
"A grizzly bear with a chainsaw. Now THERE's a killing machine!" - The Simpsons
"I've always wanted to make love to an angry welder." - Jaws: the Revenge

I almost forgot to mention...
If you can find a clip of your favorite skit on Youtube, please post it.
Thanks!   :smile:

I've always loved the show's political humor and not much else about it.

But two that really stand out in my mind -

Eddie Murphy in BUCKWHEAT HAS BEEN SHOT!!

and

THE RONALD REAGAN MASTERMIND SKIT
"I shall smite you in the nostrils with a rod of iron, and wax your spleen with Efferdent!!"

Sadly Ash, I'm pretty sure NBC-Universal was the biggest group of Anti-YouTubers when it comes to threatening to sue the company every week if they don't continue to remove any and all NBC-Universal materials from the site that might be posted. Sadly, that means no skits to post. :bluesad:

The SNL website has some clips available to watch on it, but rarely do they carry any of the lesser-known skits. I tried to find one from the Danny Aiello episode where he plays a door-to-door salesman obsessed with getting some Hi-C and turkey, but of course had no luck finding it. Jerks. :hatred:

Top 3 faves. I'd post the older stuff but i think i've seen the chris farley and schweddy balls skits so many times they aren't as funny as they used to be

http://www.hulu.com/watch/1596/saturday-night-live-dick-in-a-box-uncensored#s-p1-su-i1

This is one of my faves because what we all love about live tv is how anything can happen. And I loved seeing her start to lose it everytime the camera panned in
http://www.buzznet.com/tags/debbiedowner/video/12536/saturday-night-live-debbie-downer/

and Donald Trumps House of Wings, which i have a feeling donald trump has banned because this video is NOWHERE to be found on the internet. funny as hell tho


Ozzymandias

Ozzymandias speaks: I have a hard time picking a favorite great one. However, one my favorite "It-sucks-but-gets-better-as-it-goes" was from the first year. Peter Cook and Duddly Moore are judges for a prison talents show. Chevy Chase is the warden. Dan Akroyd and John Belushi do a song and dance (I believe). It is really lame and unfunny until Garrett Morris comes out and sings. At first he sings like Paul Robbeson about "one day when I'm free." Then the piano player starts playing what sounds like "Froggy Went a Cortin" and Garret Morris sings "Gonna get me a gun and kill every whitey see, then whitey he won't bother me uh-huh,uh-huh,uh-huh." Chevy has him dragged out by the guards while singing "Gonna get a white girl in a tight sweater."

Yeah. that is un-PC and rather childish. I think the first Wayne's World was also a "It-sucks-but-gets-better-as-it-goes."

Ozzymandias has spoken!!!

"Pranksters".  Starring Seth Meyers and various celebrity guests.  This one is DeNiro.  I also like the one with Chris Walken, where Walken's idea of a 'prank' is viciously assaulting a man with a crowbar. :wink:

Digital Short Starring Andy Samberg "Andy Poppin In"
http://www.hulu.com/watch/1408/saturday-night-live-snl-digital-short-andy-popping-into-frame
Not many people seem to like the new SNL seasons, and while this isn't the 'best' of it, I think Andy is pretty funny.  This one is stupid, as it's just him popping into frame from various angles, but I like the end.

So that's why I haven't been able to find any SNL videos.
I remember the Happy Fun Ball skit being on Youtube a while back but it's since been yanked.
