I just happened upon this transcript for a skit entitled, "What If" that asks the question, "What if Superman was a German instead of an American?"

The script alone is comedic gold. I'd love to see it when you consider the cast:

Joan Face.....Jane Curtin
Kevin Temple.....Garrett Morris
Eileen Houton.....Gilda Radner
Hitler.....Michael Palin
Lois Laneoff.....Laraine Newman
Jimmy Olstein.....Al Franken
Klaus Kent/Uberman.....Dan Aykroyd
Jor-El.....John Belushi
Mr. Kent.....Bill Murray

Hey, thanks for the link. Reading that brings back when I first saw it and couldn't believe the censors were letting them get away with saying those things to each other on TV. The way they acted it out and the camera close-ups helped to make it so hilarious and memorable as well. :laugh:

Lines in italics are songs.
(Colin Quinn, Darrell Hammond, Mark McKinney, Norm MacDonald, Robert Downey, and Will Ferrell playing cards)

RD: I did not!
Darrell: Yes you did!
Norm: Hey, hey, hey, knock it off. Remember, you're both Cobras.
Darrell: Yeah, we're both Cobras.
RD: Yeah, we gotta stick together... You're a Cobra boy, and don't you forget it, cause when you're in trouble you won't have to sweat it, you're a cobra boy... All right, so uh, let's see-
Norm: -What the hell was that?
RD: What? What was what?
Norm: You just sang.
RD: Oh yeah, I did, didn't I.
(Chris runs in)
Chris: Hey guys, the heat's on.
Norm: What's up, Johnny?
Chris: The Panthers, they got Rocko. They messed him up real bad.
Everyone groans.
Norm: That's it! We Cobras are gonna fight back! We're gonna hit `em with all we got.
Will: Yeah
RD: You bet... We're gonna hit `em with all we got, and as Cobras, we got a lot...
Will: We're fast and we're strong and we're tough, we'll teach them the meaning of rough
Both: Cause we're the Cobras, so ya better look out... What?
Norm: How'd you come up with a song so fast?
RD: I don't know, just- it just came to me
. Norm: Just came to you! It was perfect, it was like you rehearsed it or something.
RD: Oh, thank you.
Norm: Okay, look, here's what we're gonna do, you go over to Main-
Will: -Hey, hey, hey.
Norm: What?
Will: Did you really like it?
Norm: What?
Will: The song.
Norm: Did I really like it? Yeah, yeah, I liked it. Hey! Hey, I like another song, too, you know. You know this one? It's called `While You Were Singing I Got Stabbed in the Head by a Puerto Rican'.
Will: Do you know that one?
RD: No, I don't know-
Norm: -Ah, shut up. Here's the plan, get over here, guys. The Panthers hang around 34th and Main, they're pretty juiced by midnight, and that's when we strike.
All: That's when we strike, we're gonna hit `em at night
Will: OoooOoooOooo
All: And when the Cobras are done, there won't be a-one left standing
Will: OoooOoooOooo
All: So look out Panthers, cause we're the Cobras
Norm: Whoa! Whoa! Whoa! What the hell is this? What are you doing?
Colin: We're being Cobras.
Norm: Ohh, look, that's it. That's it. What is up with you guys?
Mark: What? He started singing, then he started singing, then he started singing, then he started singing, so I started singing. It happens.
Norm: No, it does not happen. This was clearly choreographed.
Darrell: Well, you know, he was dancing, and I saw what his legs we're doing, and I kinda copied it, like this
(Darrell kicks leg up, everyone joins in on the second)

Cheri: Guys! Guys!
Norm: Don't ask. It's...

Cheri: Yeah, I saw them down the street!
Norm: Okay, now listen up, here's the plan. We're gonna ambush the Panthers. And here's how we're gonna do it. Johnny, go over there. Big Jake, you get over here. The rest of you, hide behind me.
Cheri: Oh, what should I do?
Norm: What should you do? Beat it!
Cheri: Aww! (spits and runs away)
(Tim and Panthers walk in)
Tim: Well, well, well. What do we have here? Looks like a little Cobra all on his own.
Panthers: Yeah
Tim: Hey, you don't look so tough without your boys.
Panthers: No
Tim: Hey, Panthers, it's time to stomp some Cobra.
Panthers: Yeah! Come on!
Norm: Oh yeah?
Panthers: Yeah.
Norm: Johnny! (Chris dances out) Oh no, that's not good. Okay, uh, Big Jake! (Will dances out) Ohh, oh God, this isn't working out.
(The rest come out snapping their fingers)
Cobras: (whisper) Cobras hiss, Cobras hiss, Cobras hiss
Norm: Now what the hell are you doing?
Colin: We're being Cobras.
Norm: Ohh...
Tim: What are you, you call that being a Cobra? Boys, show them what it means to be a Panther.

What about the one with Sylvester Stalone rescuing Norm Macdonald in a car crash?

Stop... Stop.... Stop or my mom will shoot is a terrible movie.

I always wanted to see the Amazing Timesavers Skit with Mike Myers.

Also another great one is the Chronicles of Narnia rap.
