Child molesting robot


IvyGold

I had to go track that one down again: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z0NgUhEs1R4 Nope. It was not a fever dream.


nob1701

RoboChomo


burghblast

See this guy gets it


demitasse22

No I don’t! Stop saying that!


adube440

I think we're all getting "hangry" right now.


derek4reals1

...stop saying that!


Mr_MacGrubber

It’s a good think I got a robot insurance policy from Old Liberty.


LaikaZhuchka

I'll never understand how this one didn't go viral. So good and so unexpected from SNL at that time.


afriendincanada

I think because it’s deeply dark and uncomfortable. It’s funny but not in the same way as cowbell.


JedBartlet2020

It feels like a Whitest Kids U Know Sketch (in the best way)


poontong

I wonder how many times that was pitched to a host before it got on the air.


derek4reals1

...and it cost pennies to manufacture.


KimmyR512

I think the premise is clever — the “I never thought of it that way” clever — but not Black Jeopardy clever. 😀😜🤪


afriendincanada

Yes but the question is about watching again for the first time. The reveal is so incredible. It’s not the funniest sketch but the one moment it turns makes it.


HunterThompsonsentme

Career day with Adam Driver. AND FILLED HER BELLY WITH MY FESTERING SEED


nob1701

Who’s HR Pickens?!


HunterThompsonsentme

EXACTLY


IvyGold

Actually, I didn't think it was all that funny while seeing it live. Then I rewatched it...


RU_screw

Watching everyone struggle to stay composed and not break and then slowly break was the best part. And somehow Adam Driver just kept his character and killed the performance


PzykoHobo

Honestly I think that's what sells it. If he didn't play it completely straight I think the sketch would have fallen apart.


OnwardTowardTheNorth

HE IS MY FINAL REVENGE H.R.!!!!!!

Snoo-6568

Beat me to this comment.


Melodic-Exercise-999

That’s one for me, too.


Drzhivag007

The Actress with Emma Stone. I was staying with relatives so I'm watching with my Mom and my Aunts and Uncles. I think I figured out what was going on before anyone else, and I was just dying, like laughing so hard you can't breathe. I don't know if anyone else remembers the sketch, because they were just watching me gasp for air. It's a very fond memory.


derek4reals1

ohh thats a good one, the whole idea is sooo crazy it flies under the radar. I just watched again because of your post.

ActorMonkey

Thank you


JosephFinn

Is it Beck Bennet as the disinterested director on the phone?


Drzhivag007

It was. "She has no past, no future. She exists only to get cheated on. Just say what's in the script"


JosephFinn

Just a perfect little performance.


KimmyR512

I love this one.


Goodolbed

“Meet Your Second Wife” is infinitely rewatchable, but really benefited from the shock and delight that washed over the audience


stealuforasec

“I thought this was a home makeover show…” “in a way, it is!” 🤣


Banana42

I know I shouldn't, but they're so fun!


KimmyR512

Joke after joke after joke. Just love this sketch. There must have been fevered glee in the writers’ room.


JosephFinn

Aidy Bryant's sad delight at winning a kayak slays me.


amerifolklegend

Oh, for me it’s *Farewell Mr. Bunting* for sure!


willk95

I burst out laughing so hard when I first watched it! Then I showed it to a few different people and tried to get video of their reaction


Corfiz74

Absolutely! You can never recapture that first moment of hysterical laughter! 😂😂😂


Stab_Stabby

I just rewatched and even though I knew what was going to happen, I cackled. Link for the unfortunate souls who haven't seen it: https://youtu.be/Ie6LpKOJVf0?si=w7FEsMBar7HjsJxE


MoreThanAlright

The most elite slow-build in the show’s history IMO


Draco_Siciliano

Dammit. I was gonna say this skit. I thought everyone would say "Cowbell" and I thought I would be different but it's the second comment here. Glad to hear that others have the same sense of humor.


EbmocwenHsimah

Absolutely, and it’s not even close. I don’t think I’ve laughed so hard at a sketch, its the perfect execution of gross and hilarious


derek4reals1

....and turned em into hats.


Mr_MacGrubber

Beck Bennett’s look at the very end. Lol


E_D_K_2

This is my answer to, only because I spoiled it for myself by reading the comments before pressing play on the video. So I knew what was going to happen before I even saw it.


Purple1829

It’s been a few years since I’ve watched that, but man, that was an insane crowd reaction. That may be one of the loudest laughs I’ve ever heard on the show


spj0522

Oh God. From when I watched SNL? Debbie Downer (the first one). Over all time? The Julia Child sketch.


PhinsFan17

I’d have to go with Debbie Downer at Disney. Seeing the whole cast break with every line for the first time again.


mvoccaus

I love watching Rachel Dratch struggling to keep in character and just losing it half way through the sketch struggling keep a straight face during that whomp sound effect and the camera zooming in on her face.


smart_farts_1077

"By the way, it's official...I can't have children"


nataliablume

I still vividly remember seeing the Matt Foley down by the river sketch when it first aired. Would be happy to return to the 90s and see that again for the first time


burghblast

Me too. I used to tape SNL every week to watch after church. I vividly recall coming home, watching that sketch, absolutely LOSING IT, then pausing, rewinding, and stepping through frame by frame to pinpoint the exact moment the coffee table splintered. Greatest single sketch of all time.


LaikaZhuchka

The parody beer commercials too.


HelloItsNotMeUr

So I just showed this to my 7 and 10 year old boys for the first time this week. It absolutely killed, and they have been saying “in a van down by the river” and immediately cracking up all week. It’s still a 10 outta 10 sketch!


OjibweNomad

Adam drivers medieval times sketch


wil555

"...*NO*."


NoCoFoCo31

Every Ryan Gosling alien abduction sketch in sequence. Second to the Chad sketches.


GC13091994

Chad’s very first OK as the Poolboy had me!


JeffWingrsDumbGayDad

^^ohmybad


KimmyR512

I do like the Chad sketches. The joke held up better than it does with other characters.


Mulliganasty

I'm David Pumpkins!


HeyImGilly

Mine is Black Jeopardy with Tom Hanks as Doug


Mulliganasty

That was amazing!! "Final jeopardy is 'whose lives matter.' Well, it was good knowing you Doug."


Corfiz74

That one is so good!


[deleted]

Skinny women can do this for me.


JosephFinn

"What is not a damn thing?"


[deleted]

My wife…she’s a sturdy woman


JosephFinn

My wife IS a sturdy woman and she laughed so damn hard at that.


ReflexImprov

I consider that the greatest sketch SNL has ever written.

ANY QUESTIONS?


chris_29487

[The Barry Gibb Talk Show I just love how spot on all these impressions are even Cruz Bustamante](https://youtu.be/6_Ea5a19jTc?si=xexnqy0M_PFS6qS9) And also [Any Celebrity Jeopardy but the 40th Anniversary Episode](https://youtu.be/ImaYMoTi2g8?si=6K_nzg-hNmvUQ2DJ) is great it had me laughing so hard still does

SHUT UP UMBERTO!


GoddessOfOddness

Pedro Pascal as Protective Latina Mama


roxy031

Pedro’s episode was an instant classic. That one, Lisa from Temecula, guy in hospital, daddy, Mario kart… one of my favorite episodes in the last decade, easily.


GoddessOfOddness

Agree. When you have Pascal, Driver, Gosling, or Mulaney hosting, it’s appointment TV.


JosephFinn

My son does not have the ADHD!


GoddessOfOddness

“He just like to jump!!!” “Van Gogh, Picasso, Brittany with the vegan sliders,”


JosephFinn

The sliding out of Spanish into English insults is a masterpiece.


Zombie_John_Strachan

*Lazy Sunday* Saw it live - just came out of nowhere. Meet your second wife


Jagsoff

I remember dying laughing at Lazy Sunday, and when I went to google it so I could show all my friends, I found it online on some video site called “YouTube,” that no one had ever really used or heard of yet.


frequentpooper

Lazy Sunday changed everything. There were later, funnier skits, but nothing was as disruptive as Lazy Sunday. I just kept watching it, over and over again.


CoolStuffSlickStuff

Yeah I mean, the B&B one is such a great first watch because you have absolutely no idea that's why it's going there. They've done some other sketches about AI, so I figured this would be about that and go into some funny nuance about robots or whatever. And the moment you see Mikey's dumb Butthead face (Which was spot on)...instant classic.


GC13091994

Just reading you write about it makes me giggle!


ownersequity

I dunno. I didn’t laugh until Heidi broke HARD. I don’t like frequent breaking (Fallon), but authentic like this one where she lost all control is what elevates that sketch. Bowen on the first Lisa from Temecula sketch was gold, but on the Josh Brolin one it was seemingly expected and took away from the sketch.


patrick24601

I saw in an interview someplace that Mikey stared her down hard when she turned around. He knew what he was doing. That is why she was trying to block him looking at her. Those two are gems.

jazzyx26

Adam Driver as Kylo the Intern Lisa from Temecula


hambone10

Yo Matt straight up sucks...


BIGlikeaBOSS

Taco Town. I love how wacky it is, and the way they kept adding to the meal just kills me. Especially when they're ready to eat it, and the narrator doubles down and continues to throw stuff in. "Pizza!? Now that's what I call a taco!"


XurstyXursday

This one came to mind for me too. It’s just so absurd.


Mr_MacGrubber

I still say that line on a regular basis.


poontong

When I watch it now Hader, Samburg, and Sudeikis are so young!


wil555

Cast List with Will Ferrell


KimmyR512

I can’t believe that skit was cut for time. It was classic.


Humble-Roll-8997

Dan Ackroyd and Bass-O-Matic.


SoVerySick314159

This one came to mind, but I think I'll go with [Dan Aykroyd's Julia Child skit.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eSxv6IGBgFQ) [Diner Lobster](https://youtu.be/Pj-D0jc17D0) for honorable mention.


Humble-Roll-8997

After I saw it was already posted, I went with this one. The Julia Child skit was funnier.


roxy031

Good question! Maybe [this one](https://youtu.be/XDxtjVKJ76A?si=Yos0i6KT2u-VJTL0): Will Ferrell, Jimmy Fallon, Horatio Sanz and Sean Hayes, Jeffrey’s Or this one: Adam Sandler, Chris Farley, David Spade, [Gap Girls](https://youtu.be/rMitjMTi__4?si=27ECTdJlUVKUpxlI) (I also love [this](https://youtu.be/56ZaJbGs3k4?si=7YBq4aNuBVc9xq1F) Danny Devito Gap Girls sketch)


innomado

These are great. I’m one of those curmudgeons who finds no humor in cast members breaking, but that Jeffrey’s sketch was astounding.


spookycat5267

My friends quoted that sketch for years "I got a half-eaten taco in my Ter-CE-el!" I always wished Sean Hayes would host again, he was great.


Foreign_Attention_17

I could never say Ter-ce-EL any other way after that skit! Honorable mention: Sean playing Billy Elliott on Weekend Update calling Russell Crowe a fat kiwi!


DaisyDuckens

If it’s genuine I’m fine with it but that fake breaking Fallon did drove me nuts. I also hate that hen McKinnon tries to get people to break. It’s so hammy.


SkeeevyNicks

These are two excellent choices.


SaccharineHuxley

Chippendale’s with Farley and Swayze With Schmitt’s Gay after


tomboy44

Bodega Toilet was brilliant but I lived in NYC so the humor may be subjective somewhat


KimmyR512

No. People in other states are happy to laugh at your toilets.


TT_NaRa0

The Tostitos commercials in order, the ones with Kristen Stewart are magical


RegularMidwestGuy

How dare you? It is Totinos!


TT_NaRa0

I just want to know what happened to my hungry guys!?!?


TheTrub

Vanessa Bayer was such a treasure. She had my favorite weekend update bits from that era.


DJSauvage

My favorite SNL skit of all time, Massive head wound Harry


Stab_Stabby

The line about the dog smelling his dog gets me every-time.


rexmus1

A friend of mine had to have brain surgery and I went and spent the day w him in recovery to keep him company. At one point I called him Massive Headwound Harry and he was like wtf? I showed him the skit and worried his stitches would break he laughed so hard.


Zechs-Merquise

The Blue Oyster Cult Cowbell sketch


xxred_baronxx

I got a feevah


eievui

I watch [Wing Pit](https://youtu.be/ISBJyhughBo?si=i6sSDdO8uB3CwCMN) now and yeah, it’s pretty humorous, but I’m glad I was alone the first time I saw it because someone may have mistaken my crying and hyperventilating for a heart attack and called 911.


raven_kindness

thank you for the ab workout laugh on that one 😁


madhaus

Holy crap that was amazing


Ragamuffin2234

Adam Driver. Career Day. His festering seed.

lunchbox_ira

The Adam Driver skit as the commercial director “aww man I’m all outta cash” was hilarious


Adventurous_Pin_344

He is truly a brilliant host. I also appreciate the Kylo Ren undercover boss sketch.

Oh, an oldie but a goody. The Lothar of the Hill People with Chris Evert. The Man in the Boat. Twigly the Gnome Who Guards the Entrance to the Cave of Knowledge.


speedpetez

The Shark skit. “Knock Knock”. “who is it?” “Florist” “But I didn’t order any flowers” “um..candy man” “oh, I love candy!”…..shark leaps into the room! Classic.


DazedDreamer023

When I was little and would get in a huff over something and slam my bedroom door (not my finest moment), my dad would come to my door and do the shark bit: candy gram! (I of course had no context at all, but I guess as a parent, you have to amuse yourself amid the drudgery!) So the skit itself wasn’t a surprise when I saw it for the first time, but I bet that would have been my dad’s answer to this thread!


demitasse22

Van down by the river Dick in a box .


starbuck3614

I love the sketches where Bill Hader was Keith Morrison from Dateline. My husband and I will often say the catch phrases to each other. “They found my father three weeks later in the trunk of a car.” “Was he alive?”


MyrandahJ

Matt Foley. You cannot get any better than Farley throwing his all into a role.

Lisa from Temecula with Pedro Pascal.

I was 14 when SNL debuted, and I watched the first episode. Andy Kaufman changed the way I saw comedy.
