Michele Jackson maybe a Homosexual pedaphile but one thing he is not is a plagiarist

First time SNL had made me laugh in years.
Before that:
Andrew Dice Clay being shown by Jon Lovitz’s Satan how, if Clay hadn’t appeared on the show, Nora Dunn would’ve been crushed by Sinead O’Connor’s PA stack and Frank Zappa would’ve used the opening monologue to go on a 78 minute anti-censorship rant. Nasty.
Gilda Radner once played a little girl telling herself weird German fairytales and bouncing herself off her bedroom walls. True genius manifests itself in the strangest ways sometimes.
The Coneheads’ Halloween. Applebobbing? Applebobbing.
The Landshark!
Crystal Gravy.
Super Colon Blow.
Anything with Dan Ackroyd and Jane Curtin bitching at each other. Especially over Christmas Gifts like Bag o’ Broken Glass.
“Germany’s Most Disturbing Home Videos” on Sprockets. Mike Myers calls Kyle MacLachlan “beautiful and angular”. Deiter was brilliant. Glad there’s no movie.
Eddie Murphy going undercover as a white guy for a day. Especially the cocktail party on the bus. Ballsy, I think.
Ed Grimley going absolutely buggo waiting to see Pat Sajak in his office.
Billy Crystal as Kitty Brynner, travel agent, in Lifestyles of the Relatives of the Rich and Famous. “Nononono. You cannot go direct. You have to change in Atlanta.” In drag and a bald wig no less.
Steve Martin and Dan Ackroyd. Never have two Czech brothers swung so successfully in tight slacks.
“Wow! That’s terrific bass!” Loved the Bass-o-Matic '76.
And most of the Deep Thoughts were pretty good. “If trees could scream, would we still cut them down? I think we might, if they screamed all the time and for no reason.”
That Neil Diamond VH1 Storytellers with Ferrell
Neil: “This next song, you all might like. Few people know that I am fueled creatively by my massive hatred of immigrants. Gary and I have gone on for hours about how much we hate foreigners. Right, Gary?”
Gary: “Leave me out of this, man.”
Neil: "NO, I WILL LEAVE YOU IN!!
Land Shark
Fred Garvin, Male Prostitute (Dan Ackroyd)
Any News sketch that had Ackroyd calling Jane Curtin an “Ignorant Slut!”
Ackroyd and Steve Martin’s “Chec Brothers”
Gilda Radner and Bill Murray as “The Nerds”
I remember this one sketch with Buck Henry as host of a late night call-in show. The topic was current events. No one would call in so he panics and starts saying these outrageous things like incest is what I do. Blacks, who needs’em.
Eddie Murphy as “Mr Robinson’s Neighborhood”
Joe Piscapo as Frank Sinatra
Martin Short as Ed Grimly
Phil Hartman as ANYONE
Dana Carvey as ‘Church Lady’
Dennis Miller/Norm MacDonald Update
Kevin Nealon did a great sketch called “Mr. No Depth Perception”

Dana Carvey’s George Bush and/or Ross Perot sketches
Dana Carvey’s Church Lady
Dan Ackroyd’s Bass-o-Matic
The Ackroyd sketch where he was selling the dangerous toys

I live in a van DOWN BY THE RIVER.
Rich and Seabass stole mine. I’ll add Little Chocalate Donuts (and all of the fake commercials really). Anytime the Killer Bees graced the stage was a good one. More recently I love the Happy Fun Ball.
The death of Buckwheat as brilliance.
“Brought to you by Mutual Life. Because you could die tomorrow. Just like John David Stutz.”
I completely forgot about the Schwetty Weiners with Alec Baldwin.
The death of buckwheat was brilliance
and what about chris farley trying out as a chippendale dancer…
Antoher of my favorites: there was a children’s show with John Goodman and some others, and a news alert broke in and said that Goodman had just killed a bunch of people, and he was in this white supremicist group called the “Eagle of Christ”. That’s all I remember.

Which brings up the question of what is “recent.” That sketch has gotta be over a decade old by now. Feel old, cap? wink
I started watching around the Eddie Murphy era and still occasionally catch it. It’s never consistently gone downhill, since there’s always a Myers, Farley, or Ferrell that shows up every couple years to make it watchable again. Plus, there are the lower-key non-star types who keep it consistently funny, like Hartman, Nealon, and Lovitz.
The Billy Crystal, Martin Short, Christopher Guest season is underappreciated. Male synchronized swimming = classic.
So I guess I’m in the minority when I say Chris Farley never ever did anything remotely funny?
That’s okay, I like it here in the minority.

I said “more recently”. I did not say recently.

I’m with you. People have compared him to the Belushi. SACRELIGE!!!
One fake commercial I really loved (and maybe the only funny thing from that sad Janneane/McKean cast, aside from Norm’s Weekend Update): headache tests. Janneane Garofalo in overly sincere, grave voice: “Sometimes I think I may have a headache, but how can I be sure?” [warning: do not take aspirin within 4 hours of test. Side effects may include headaches]
Wayne’s World
Mr Robinson’s Neighborhood
Matt Foley, Motivational Speaker
Weekend Update(Chase and Curtin, Nealon, McDonald, Fallon and Fey, Quinn, Miller..I like em’ all pretty much)
Commercials(Schmidt’s Gay, Swill, Happy Fun Ball, Little Chocolate Donuts..many many more)
The Nerds
Walken shite-The Continental, Bruce Dickinson/BOC, pranks etc
Scwetty Balls
Sprockets
Chippendales
The Hyper Hypo Kid
The Herlihy Boy
Opera Man
The Phone Company sketch was great(the one with Roseanne, oddly enough)
Goth Talk
Funniest sketch ever was Male Synchronzed Swimming with Martin Short and if I remember correctly, Harry Shearer and Christopher Guest.
Second to that, Bill Murray as Hercules.
Damn, I forgot about “Goth Talk”! That is my absolute fave recurring sketch.
My favorites have been taken, but I liked Brendon Fraser’s Charlie Brown. Brady Bunch meets the Partridge Family. Gay Dracula. Sully & Denise. Sweeny Sisters. Fat Albert: behind the music. Collette the Pill Popper. Helen Madden(LOVE IT!!) Mrs.T.
