his board needs a good SNL thread. Discuss your favorite and least favorite, cast members, sketches, hosts, etc.

SNL may not be great today, but no one can ignore its contributions. Many careers were launched from that show.

My favorite cast member of all time has to be Eddie Murphy. He is the only person who kept that show going in the early 1980s.

Best skits ever are:
Mr. Robinson's Neighborhood
E Buzz Miller
Fred Garvin, Male Prostitute

Greek Restaraunt (Billygoat Tavern)
Rosanne Rosanadanda
Point Counterpoint
Landshark
Nerds
Blues Brothers
Consumer Reports
Coneheads
King Tut
Medievel Doctor
Czeck Brothers
Ebony and Ivory
Buhwheat
Velvet Jones School of Technology
Liars Anonymous
James Brown Celebrity Hot Tub (HEEEEEYYYYYYYYYY)
Hans and Franz
Churchlady
Wayne's World
Schmidt's Gay
Matt Foley, motivational speaker
SUPERFANS!!!!!!!!!
Total Bastard Airlines
Cheerleaders
Martha Stewart's Topless Christmas
Jeopardy

The Jeopardy ones were (and still are) great.

I'll take The Rapists for 200

Error on the poll, the original era is 1976-1979. Disregard that era and include 75 in that era when voting

Chevy Chase slapsticking as Gerald Ford. Most notably when he made his dead dog on a leash roll over.

"My name is Matt Foley...." I remember the first one with David Spade and Christina Applegate- When Chris Farley picked David Spade up, SPade was laughing as hard as I was...

What about the "Hurleyhee Boy" or whatever the hell it was? Just let him watch your house while you're away!

And Adam Sandler's "Red Hooded Sweatshirt", with Paul McCartney adding in the "dip dip dip" before the shamalamadingdong?

Will Ferrell and Cheri Oteri as the Cheerleaders is one of the funniest sketches ever.

I like the 1995-1999 epi's..

It really sucks anymore.

"My name is Matt Foley...." I remember the first one with David Spade and Christina Applegate- When Chris Farley picked David Spade up, SPade was laughing as hard as I was...


I saw that the other day. Spade was trying hard to cover up the fact he was laughing. I read somewhere that part of that sketch was ad-libed.

The Ashlee lip-not-synching Simpson hoe down

"Schwans is recalling ice cream ain connection to an outbreak of food poisoning in their uncooked pork swirl"

"the number one worst job in America third year in a row- Crack Whore"

Norm Macdonald was a pisser.


And Chris Farley as a soldier boarding a spacecraft and his pants falling down, showing the horrible bare ass for several seconds

I have taped so many of the original cast episodes.

The not ready for prime time players: Dan Akroyd, Jon Belushi, Chevy Chase, Jane Curtain, Garrett Morris, Bill Murray, Loraine Newman, and Gilda Radner

Too bad Gilda and Jon are dead, especially Jon. He was so damn talented.

Jane you ignorant slut...

I think that made it much funnier.

Pick Swords.

That was almost as funny as his Schwartzkopf on Weekend Update where he said that he wanted Holifield. "You've seen what these guns have done in the Middle East. Now I'm taking you on in Atlantic City this summer."

Jane you ignorant slut...
Classic. You just watched weekend update in anticipation for that moment.

Akroyd and Belushi were amazing. I'll say original cast.

Jane you ignorant slut...
Oh snap! I love them skits!

Have you guys forgotten "More Cowbell!"?

Hello. I'm Mark Mbutu from the newly emerging African nation of Namibia, a former German colony located in southwest Africa.

Namibia is an undeveloped nation, and we are appealing to you as world citizens.

We need your fondue sets.

Many people in the United States received these fondue sets as gifts for anniversaries, birthdays and housewarmings, and often put them up on a shelf and forget about them. There are thousands of Namibian housewives who could cheer up an otherwise dull dinner party with one of these sets.

Oh, please think, please give, please send.

We already have enough of the little sterna cans for underneath the sets from when the Germans were here, so only send the fondue pots themselves, and the long fark--forks if you have them.

[Dissolve to address on green background]

Our address is: Fondue Sets For Namibia, Box 180, Namibia, West Africa.

[Dissolve back to Mbutu] Oh, and we would like to thank Mr. and Mrs. Norman Prager for sending us the Water-Pik and the deluxe toaster oven. *Raises fist*

Thank you!
Best evar.

the delivery company that takes the blame for you not sending a package on time by back dating and aging it- "When it absolutely, positively had to be there last week".


The "Bathroom Monkey" that cleans the bathroom for you? "I dont knwo where monkeys come from, I dont know what they eat-all I know is the ycan clean". And they were disposable too!

The toilet built for two-it was side by side,facing in two directions "For those in love that do everything together".

The Nerf "Crotch Rocket".

Bah, it picked up this last season (even if it was just a bit lackluster). SNL has -always- been hit or miss, even in the days with people like Eddie Murphy, Will Ferrell and Phil Hartman and Joe Piscapo.

Glad to see the Lonely Island boys (Andy, Jorma, Akiva) have been bringing some funny back to SNL. Now all they need to do is fire Horatio Sanz.

Don't taunt Happy Fun Ball.

And for the neighbobs, "Because Dr. Pepper and redvines equal crazy delicious."
