One of the funniest was a news cast where the anchorman (Fallon?) kept saying "It has been reported that an ordinary household item might cause you to die. Story at 6!" Then 2 minutes later "Yes, the item is probably something you are using right now! More details at 6" Then a few minutes later "The item is something that could probably kill your entire family and you wouldn't guess what it is! Story at 6!"

Fallon had some really good news skits. Anyone catch the one where they talk about Evolution and dinosaurs are now called "Jesus Horses".

Thanks guys for mentioning Phil Hartmen in Unfrozen Caveman Lawyer and the Anal Rententive Chef, those both were so awesome.

I also loved...

Jon Lovitz - Pathological Liar skits
Jon Lovits and Dana carvey in the "Misery" skit
Eddie Murphy's Mr. Robinson's neighborhood
Eddie Murphy's standup when he talks about black people moving into a haunted house
Dana Carvey doing Bush Sr and Ross Pero, hell, Dana Carvey doing anything
Tonto (Lovitz), Tarzan (Kevin Nealon), Frankenstein (Hartman) sang a ton of songs.

You guys have mentioned a lot of good stuff, but there are so many more.
Wow, so many skits, such few time to post.

Although I think SNL sucks I still have some old fav's

2 skits.

Chris Katan? where he plays a monkey and is some kind of experiment. Those were my fav.

Also, with Farrel and his wife as they play the sex machines. Scene is usually all sexual and they get down in front of others.

I also liked the farrel and cheerleeding skits.

OHHHHHH almost forgot, Goatboy or something like that. As the 80s host. good times.

danny~!

One of my favorites is where Ferrell is sitting in a yoga studio. With his head tucked inside of his sweat pants. Everyone is yelling at him to quit, but he wont since hes been practicing for over a decade and finally succeeded at doing this most incredible accomplishment. A lot of people find it gross, but the guys later ask him to teach them how to do it.

I might as well post a few more skits I really liked:

Toonces
Mr. Peepers (w/ The Rock)
Nicotrel
The Ladies Man (w/ Heather Graham)
Church Lady



I don't understand why people liked the Debbie Downer skit so much. I didn't think it's that funny when the cast is so stupid that they can't keep a straight face during the skits.

Also, the cast needs to spend more time practicing their lines. I am getting so tired of seeing them glare at cue cards.

Remember the video of Charles Barkley playing Barney one on one?

I was dying at the end when you saw one of Barney's eyes hanging out by the optic nerve.

dana carvey as bush sr - thousand points of light, won't stray from the path
commerical for the drugs for the gay kids (who wants some creme brulee???)
Jack Handey (it takes a big man to cry, but takes an even bigger man to laugh at that man)
Lohan Potter skit - have to beat my blodger/tame my dragon skit

Jeffrey's. The Euro Clothing store. There are two of them that I know, one with Pierce Brosnan, and the other with Sean Hayes? (I think that's his name.) But they just put down everyone in the store. Those are the ones where Will Ferrel has the tiny cell phone. (Read Above.)

I got 'em both I think. If someone wants to host them, then let me know, but I think the I goofed on capturing one of them, and it's a huge file, not sure. (They might both be small.)

But the clips are just hilarious when Horatio Sans comes into the store, and they start being rude and harassing him.

"I'm sure that's a devastating comeback in the breakroom @ Circuit City...."
HAHAHAHAHA.

No you're not! :cool:

How about "Cheeburger, cheeburger", "noogies" and "ah, the life, to be young, stupid, and have no future"
Toonces, the Driving Cat

Now I save them on ReplayTV, skip the boring stuff and the singing.

Recently they had a "Debbie Downer" (w Lindsey Lohan) that was unbelievable!

Lots of great stuff, wish they were indexed and available somewhere.
