The show's been on the air for 30 years, so everyone must have seen at least one episode that made you laugh both then and now. Every time I see this one I scream with laughter until tears roll down my face: Garrett Morris plays a prisoner brought before the parole board wearing a ball and chain and stereotypical prison garb. The parole board asks him if he is released what he plans to do. Morris breaks into song, doing a little softshoe routine (think Al Jolson) and sings "Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, I'm gonna get me a shotgun and kill all the whities I see, I'm gonna get me a shotgun and kill all the whities I see. When I kill all the whities I see, then whitey he won't bother me, I'm gonna get me a shotgun and kill all the whities I seeeeeeee." ------------------------------------------------- Sadly, NBC wouldn't dare show something like that today (the episode above aired in January, 1976) for fear of being politically incorrect and offending some group. And that, IMO is why the show isn't funny anymore. |

*snicker I LOVE that sketch. I'm also a big fan of LandShark ("Candygram. Ummm...mailman..." Anything with Gilda Radner. Especially Emily Litela. "How dare they consider busting school children?" "Um, that's bussing school children" "Oh. Well that's different then. Never mind". "Cheeseburger, cheeseburger, cheeseburger, cheeseburger..." Nick the Lounge Singer. Mr. Subliminal was pretty good - though I wasn't a Kevin Neelon fan. And of course... "Jane you ignorant slut!" |

I probably have too many favorites to list... but what comes to mind right now are a couple of the Celebrity Jeopardy skits with "Sean Connery". "I'll take the penis mightier than the sword for $400" "That's ... the pen is mightier than the sword..." |

Thanks, plays. I'm trying to put my toddler to bed, and I keep singing "I'm going to get me a shotgun and kill all the whities I see!"

Random FML: Today, I was fired by my boss in front of my coworkers. It would have been nice if I could have left the building before they started celebrating. FML The founding of the bulk of the world's nation states post 1914 is based on self-defined nationalisms. The bulk of those national movements involve territory that was ethnically mixed. The foundation of many of those nation states involved population movements in the aftermath. When the only one that is repeatedly held up as unjust and unjustifiable is the Zionist project, the term anti-semitism may very well be appropriate. - P*D | |

Ahh yes the Coneheads.![]() In that monotone voice. "Let's eat some fiberglass insulation and beer." I think the bassomatic was classic. Dan A. puts fish, raw bass, into blender. Woman drinks and says, "Yum, that's good." or something. Oh, and Dana Carvey as ChurchLady interviewing Saaaaaddam H. was the best.

Slightly off-topic, but Dana Carvey had a very short-lived show of his own, which Improv and I saw a few times before it got canceled for being too outre' for the viewing public. Did anyone see the skit with the movie critics panning the "lost footage" from the Wizard of Oz where Carvey sings "If I Only Had An Ass" OMG, it is hilarious!!! |

Will Ferrell as "Gene Frenkle" playing the COWBELL in SNL's version of VH1's Behind the Music Blue Oyster Cult. Christopher Walken serves as the quirky producer at the recording session for Don't Fear the Reaper and keeps on insisting "It needs more cowbell!" Will Ferrell: "...and I will be doing myself a disservice if I don't play the hell outta this!" Gene Frenkle magically reappeared with the Queens of the Stone Age when Will Ferrel hosted a few weeks ago. Hillarious! :lol: |

I loved "oh that's Pat" the person no one could figure out if he/she was a man or a woman. Also loved the coneheads. Massive headwound Harry appealed to my warped sense of humor.

Oh I just thought of another one!! Happy Fun Ball!!! Happy Fun Ball may stick to certain types of skin. When not in use, Happy Fun Ball should be returned to its original container and kept under refrigeration. Do not taunt Happy Fun Ball. |
