Title: 50 Greatest 'Saturday Night Live' Sketches of All Time
Post by: Ralph Wiggum on February 13, 2014, 03:11:42 PM
Haven't scrolled through this yet, but am hoping to see some old classics.  I don't really watch the show much anymore, but when I have it still gives me a chuckle or two.

Never really watched it, and the only things I remember is the BassMatic and "Jane, you ignorant slut".

Chris Farley playing the role of a bi lingual lawman is among my favorites.

Chevy Chase/Richard Pryor Employment Interview Word Association.

Funniest bit ever recorded on TV.

Ever.

And one I don't think you could get away with today, nearly 40 years later.

I am 100% sure you are right.

Today, as edgy as it gets is making fun of Conservatives.  SNL hasn't been funny or cutting-edge in 30+ years.

 Lorne Michaels mentioned this. The funniest was the "David Copperthwaite/Raging Queen" sketch.

The best ever?  Eubie Blake and Gregory Hines.

I totally agree with you.  Once the original cast was replaced I pretty much quit watching.  The original players were the best.  My most memorial bits were Gilda Radner and Steve Martin dancing.  :rofl:

And the other was the camping trip with the guys dressed as killer bees and when the lights go off, guys are tattling  in a sing-song fashion to Walter Mathou as camp counselor "Johnny's buzzing off... Johnny's buzzing off!"  (not verbatim).   Here's the transcript  http://snltranscripts.jt.org/78/78gbees.phtml

Let's see. The Bassomatic sketch. The Swinging Czech brothers. The Church Lady. The Chevy Chase/Richard Pryor employment sketch and Chevy doing Weekend Update while mocking Jane as she ranted on about something.

"The Greginator......makin copies..." 

"My wife, Morgan Fairchild..."

I haven't watched that in a loooong time.
