I’m surprised Lindsay Lohan’s Debbie Downer sketch isn’t here

[The_Real_Mier]

That Billie Eilish sketch with Kate McKinnan where she invites her neighbor using written signs held up by their windows (6:17) is ONE OF THE BEST EVER!!!
Extremely funny with one of the most unexpected plot twists you could ever come up with!!

Brilliantly written and very, very well played by BOTH actors!

This should be a top 20, not top 10 because Adele should ABSOLUTELY be in this list

[Illjwamh]

No coincidence that 3 of the top 5 were directly caused by Kate McKinnon.

Lindsay Lohan's Debbie Downer sketch being omitted is a shame.

The Debbie downer Lindsey Lohan Disney skit was the best, I've seen it multiple times on YouTube and it has me in tears everytime, you guys know how YouTube works I just type Lindsey and up pops the skit, it's hilarious

[luigiquinonez]

You need to update this and add Adele's Africa Commercial to the list. That was so hilariously funny, and her breaking character made it even funnier. 🤣

[blugreen]

The Lovahs sketch with Drew Barrymore is classic!

[elizabethwise]

Omg the Barry gibb one made me spit out my drink 🤣

[cnote]

YOU LEFT OUT TWO OF THE BEST ONES.... Lindsay Lohan & the Disneyland trip skit, and Adele in the "Trip to Africa" skit. She totally lost it twice! Lol

[SavaFiend]

I was waiting for Chris Farley's Matt Foley sketch I'm surprised that didn't make this list! That one's a classic!

[Sewicide]

This is seriously lacking Adele in the Africa tourism ad. "You can feel it in your stomach!"

[luxuryhub]

First one is the best mostly because she NEVER breaks. I believe it's Vanessa's only break in her whole SNL career.

[joachimstenfjord]

Adele Africa ad character breaking was one of the best

[calcham]

I just can't believe you left off the Adele sketch where she played a woman visiting Africa for the "benefits". I thought that was going to be #1! She made a face where, she was trying to stop laughing so hard, she actually crossed her eyes, then she bent over. I don't think I have ever seen a character break so much, and it was hilarious! I think Heidi Gardner and Kate McKinnon were also in the sketch.

[feralart]

Christina Applegate had to continually hide behind her hair during Chris Farley's Matt Foley sketch.

[samvolpe]

Debbie Downer: Disney World with Lindsay Lohan is one of the best breaks ever I couldn't stop laughing the whole way through. Neither could the cast

[bja]

Adele’s Africa skit and Sterling K Brown’s black panther skit should of been on here

[mlazenka]

Candice Bergen with Gilda Radnor in the public service announcement for the extreme stupidity league. Old, but hysterical.

[aysiskyle]

Mckennon makes anyone crack i love her 🤦‍♀️🤣❤
