I have to echo the Chipendale's try-out sentiments.

Eddie Murphy's prison poem: "Kill my Landlord"
"See the dog"
"Do he bite?"
"Kill my Landlord"
"Kill my Landlord"

Richard Pryor's Exorcist

But my all time favorite:
Pryor's job interview with Chevy Chase
Interviewer: Alright, Mr. Wilson, you've done just fine on the Rorshact.. your papers are in good order.. your file's fine.. no difficulties with your motor skills.. And I think you're probably ready for this job. We've got one more psychological test we always do here. It's just a Word Association. I'll throw you out a few words - anything that comes to your mind, just throw back at me, okay? It's kind of an arbitrary thing. Like, if I say "dog", you'd say..?

Mr. Wilson: "Tree".

Interviewer: "Tree". [ nods head, prepares the test papers ] "Dog".

Mr. Wilson: "Tree".

Interviewer: "Fast".

Mr. Wilson: "Slow".

Interviewer: "Rain".

Mr. Wilson: "Snow".

Interviewer: "White".

Mr. Wilson: "Black".

Interviewer: "Bean".

Mr. Wilson: "Pod".

Interviewer: [ casually ] "Negro".

Mr. Wilson: "Whitey".

Interviewer: "Tarbaby".

Mr. Wilson: [ silent, sure he didn't hear what he thinks he heard ] What'd you say?

Interviewer: [ repeating ] "Tarbaby".

Mr. Wilson: "Ofay".

Interviewer: "Colored".

Mr. Wilson: "Redneck".

Interviewer: "Junglebunny".

Mr. Wilson: [ starting to get angry ] "Peckerwood!"

Interviewer: "Burrhead".

Mr. Wilson: [ defensive ] "Cracker!"

Interviewer: [ aggressive ] "Spearchucker".

Mr. Wilson: "White trash!"

Interviewer: "Jungle Bunny!"

Mr. Wilson: [ upset ] "Honky!"

Interviewer: "Spade!

Mr. Wilson: [ really upset ] "Honky Honky!"

Interviewer: [ relentless ] "N****r!"

Mr. Wilson: [ immediate ] "Dead honky!" [ face starts to flinch ]

Interviewer: [ quickly wraps the interview up ] Okay, Mr. Wilson, I think you're qualified for this job. How about a starting salary of $5,000?

Mr. Wilson: Your momma!

Interviewer: [ fumbling ] Uh.. $7,500 a year?

Mr. Wilson: Your grandmomma!

Interviewer: [ desperate ] $15,000, Mr. Wilson. You'll be the highest paid janitor in America. Just, don't.. don't hurt me, please..

Mr. Wilson: Okay.

Interviewer: [ relieved ] Okay.

Mr. Wilson: You want me to start now?

Interviewer: Oh, no, no.. that's alright. I'll clean all this up. Take a couple of weeks off, you look tired.

I second the jeopardy skits with Sean Connery.

The one where Eddie Murphy dressed up and colored his skin white to do "research" on what it's like to be white.

"I discovered that when white people are alone, they give things to each other for no apparent reason."

The Bathroom attendant
The Church lady
Anything by the Cheerleaders

Schweaty Balls

Christopher Walken as the blunt talk show host.

"Whoa!! Look at you!! You're a mountain!"

never mind, I just saw that there is another thread for favorite commercial.

It's interesting that this thread still contains all the funniest SNL skits since nothing funny has been broadcast on that show since 2002.

Definitely this one. It almost seemed shocking they got away with it.

For ads, Happy Fun Ball is a classic.

What, you didn't expect to hear Amy Poehler say "I guess I could give Anal Angus a try?"

D in a box.

….because he's
"Fred Garvin……Male Prostitute" (Dan Akroyd)

Puppet Class with Seth Macfarlane hasn't been mentioned. Thought that was greatness

You bumped a 20 year old thread just to make the same tired comment people have been making for decades?

I was about to complain about the lack of videos on here, and then I realized this thread was started before youtube existed.

Any Jeopardy skit w/ Hammond as Sean Connery

For your viewing pleasure:



Norm MacDonald as Burt Reynolds was really good too:

Some more modern highlights:

Black Jeapordy with Tom Hanks
Undercover boss with Kylo Ren
Close Encounter
Teacher Trial
Science presentation
Puppet class

I still watch most of them trying to find diamonds through piles of crap

"Do not taunt Happy Fun Ball."

Colon Blow

How has Mr. peepers not been mentioned on this list?
Or Mango? Chris kattan had some fantastic skits.

You would never see this skit on SNL today.

Buck Henry was underrated.

Not a skit, but I always liked "The Mr. Bill Show".

To be fair the thread is 19 years old, so naturally it would attract the attention of wbt.
