down our picks for the top 10 Saturday
Night Live sketches bit on the wall
thanks for flying with this buh-bye
number 10
buh-bye total bastard Airlines sarcastic
clearly obnoxious absolutely memorable
oddly yes hey you live here in
Pittsburgh uh no actually I’m Bob I bye
bye
though this recurring skit only ran a
couple of times it was enough to
implant– this catchphrase into our
brains per good
you’re very heavy what I said but mine
it said we’re by 40 times in a row why
would I say anything else it doesn’t
make sense
sure these bitter flight attendants were
hated in their time I’m gonna pound your
face in okay select Popeye but total
bastard Airlines has staying power they
kick a crab patty and we bet you’ve said
goodbye at least once and for that you
can thank David Spade and SNL oh but I
didn’t Daly
se5 do the bot bot to the firebot
number nine James Brown celebrity hot
tub party if asked its success is
measured by its quote ability in this
one a winner as the lone star in the SNL
Dark Ages Eddie Murphy was given ample
opportunity to shine and shine he did in
a gold speedo what’s most impressive
about this one is it’s basically just
Eddie mumble squealing and dancing
wildly we still can’t get in a hot tub
without picturing James Brown that’s
weird right
number eight Olympia cafe you may know
this get better as jeez I got cheese I’m
starting a trend that would continue for
decades this was one of the first truly
quotable and quoted sketches SNL
produced eggs over lightly a large
orange juice and coffee cheeseburger
playing in perfect harmony beside Bill
Murray and Dan Aykroyd John Belushi
displays his uncanny ability to
gibberish his way through a sketch as a
Greek restaurant or in a greasy spoon
diner the world about cheeseburger look
just don’t try to order a coke fitzy
Pepsi unvetted are you ladies out here
talking about cunnilingus number seven
Colonel Angus you old carpetbagger all
it takes is a southern accent and a
knowing wink for this get to hit its
climax that’s because all of my
experiences with Colonel Angus in and
embarrass
written by head writer Tina Fey and
brought to life by Rachel Dratch Amy
Poehler Chris Parnell and the host to
end all SNL hosts Christopher Walken
Colonel Angus is one sly innuendo after
another call me about my given name Oh
II know I so love the sound of
cunnilingus but I guess I could give
analingus a try
fYI if you don’t get the joke try Google
we are not explaining it here if anyone
is looking for anal Angus to come
knocking at the rear entrance of Shady
thickets
number six
super bass-o-matic 76 during SNL’s
inaugural season writers and cast
members were still trying to find their
niche along comes dan Aykroyd with one
of the strangest most surreal and
bizarre sketches you ever did see catch
a bass remove the hook and drop the bass
parodying hyperactive fast-talking
infomercial pitchman now adjust the
control dial so that that fast
Aykroyd introduces a tool that will let
you use the whole bass with no waste
super bass-o-matic 76 works great on
sunfish perch sole and other small
aquatic creatures we complain that he
should have drunk the bass himself but
we’ve got bigger fish to fry
wow that’s terrific bass confident
jeopardy
number 5 celebrity jeopardy I’d like to
ask our contestants once again please
refrain from using ethnic slurs
inexplicably stupid celebs antagonistic
repartee and ridiculous categories make
this recurring sketch perfection
I’ll take famous titties for 400
– famous titles with Will Ferrell
leading the charge as mustachioed
jeopardy host Alex Trebek I feel like I
want to punch you a revolving cast of
characters offers up spot-on impressions
of random celebrities some show up more
than others with Norm Macdonald cocky
Burt Reynolds and Darrell Hammond surly
Sean Connery squaring off against Trebek
on multiple occasions V is a Roman
numeral so despite your best efforts you
answered correctly let’s see what you
wagered suck it for back we couldn’t
possibly pick a favorite so we won’t
even try but remember mothers are fair
game we would have accepted bow-wow
or ruff Oh ruff just the way your mother
like shit Trebek so many places and
people to me number four digital shorts
hey say young man the world’s
right I get the yeah did you ever expect
to hear a rap about The Chronicles of
Narnia babies happy let’s see their
dawnia yes the chronic what cool so
Donny but Andy Samberg and his lonely
island pals know how to take the
ordinary and turn it into a digital
piece of hilarity for our viewing
pleasure take your pick from checked my
phone and saw your a ganaches
in my pass to the booth
we have to say when SNL host
extraordinaire Justin Timberlake gets in
on the action that’s the greatest gift
inside is my box music number three
Chippendales auditions
believe it or not this was one of Chris
Farley’s first episodes and already he
loomed large as a cast member in this
classic sketch we see how agile the big
guy really is because he keeps up with
the dirty dancer and then some
you still can’t decide which is more
distracting Swayze’s mullet / Farley’s a
scratch
either way this sketch wormed its way
into our hearts
number two the delicious dish with peach
sweaty now did I pronounce your name
correctly you sure did Pete sweaty in
the off chance you’ve never seen this
sketch we’ll set the mood it’s the
holidays on a gas tire and Molly Shannon
or monotonous NPR radio hosts and
joining them is Alec Baldwin as peach
sweaty chef and proprietor of seasons
eating’s you have some beautiful balls

together they discuss their favorite
Christmas nibblies I can’t wait to get
my mouth around this ball
what follows are enough double entendre
to last you until New Year’s I like the
way your balls smell we’ve never been
more impressed to see SNL is not break
character do whatever you want to them
ladies my balls are here for your
pleasure guys I put my pants on just
like the rest of you one leg at a time
number one except once my pants are on I
make gold records more cowbell
if asked it spawns a catchphrase beloved
by an entire generation it’s a hit I
could have used a little more cowbell
really explore the studio space this
time you got it Bruce
I mean really Will Ferrell is one of the
biggest stars ever to grace the SNL
stage and we’ve established that Chris
Walken is a killer host you’re gonna
want that cowbell from attract tack on
porno stashes Ferrell’s tiny shirt
Fallon’s incessant giggling walkins
deadpan dialogue and of course the
cowbell itself and you get fireworks or
at least a temperature of some kind I
got a fever and the only prescription is
more cowbell you agree with our list
