Saturday Night Live cis celebrating its 50th Anniversary. There is a movie about the first airing and how it almost didn't happen. I saw an interview with the director writer and actress playing Gida Radner yesterday but I saw Will Ferrell flipping channels and every time I see him I think about the the cheerleaders skit. Sometimes I wonder if kids today would truly understand the skit. I remember growing up, cheerleaders from white high schools doing the ethnic black high school cheers and I don't know if you still have that dynamic as our world is less separated. Its not my favorite but it was extremely funny . My mother loved it
The best recent ones, and the 1st is one of the best ever, are with Nate Bargatze as George Washington:
Too lazy to look up vids, but off the top of my head: Fred Garvin Fat Hercules Kill the White People Gonna Get Me a Shotgun White Like Me Celebrity Jeopardy Black Jeopardy (esp Tom Hanks) Word Association (Chase and Pryor) Cowbell Mr. Robinson's Neighborhood Buckwheat Chippendale's Celebrity Hot Tub Little Richard Simmons The best running skit they have now has been the Weekend Update year end "Jost and Che write unseen jokes for each other"
So many...this one cracked me up the first time I saw it so hard my girlfriend (now wife) thought I had lost my mind lol
Not my favorite, but still makes me laugh. Of all the SNL movies they've made (It's Just Pat, Stuart Smalley, etc), I would have gone to one where Will Ferrell was a blundering Satan.
Not my favorite but the most apropos for this thread is the 'I can't even' (search) skit: https://bbs.clutchfans.net/threads/favorite-snl-skits.44802/ Here's a few that I love and can never watch enough:
Awesome List.............I would add Wild and Crazy Guys and the Shark......knock, knock...whose there.....uhhhhh, the mailman sir
I’ve found that like a lot of our memories of great things we watched when we were younger, those older skits are better left unrewatched.
