I love rewatching the sketches..but the voice overs and explanations overwhelmed the actual product.

[jeatig]

Honorable mention: the "BUCKWHEAT'S BEEN SHOT!!" sketch!!

[ivanahugankiss]

I've been an SNL fan for 36 years now, and for me, deciding on favourite skits would be a near impossible task. So many moments you just can't forget. LAY OFF ME, I'M STARVING!!! 😂

[angiehuth]

Yeah my favorite was always Eddie Murphy as gumby with the catch phrase "I am gumby dammit

[BlissfulDee]

I am shocked that there wasn't more Belushi - he was good as William Shatner/Capt. Kirk in the Star Trek's Last Voyage skit and hilarious as the Hulk in The Superhero Party.

This was fun to watch, but....how did "Buckwheat's Been Shot" miss the list? That sketch was EVERYTHING.

[grovercorp]

Jon lovitz as the devil in people's court is priceless....and Bill Murray as Hercules is even better

[nixeleth]

The Close Encounter sketch has me in tears every time I see it. The second one is great, but the first one is just so funny, it's surreal.

[kamsismith]

Matt Foley and the Chippendales audition. I wish Chris Farley was alive to know that a new generation of people love his work.

[catherinesandoval]

There were only 2 I could think of, they were "Land Shark" & Gilda Radner's "Brownie" routine.

[sretePnitsuJ]

you left out Dan Aykroyd as Julia Child?! sacrilege, darling.

[sarahandrewsreynolds]

The Roxbury Guys don't include Martin Short 😆! That's Chris Kattan!😂🤣😂🤣

[Nightstorm]

After watching the Top 10 version of this, I knew more cowbell was going to be #1!

[victoriajohnson]

I expected Samurai Sushi Chef to be number one. Somehow, it didn't even make the list. John Belushi was one of the best comedians ever to be on SNL.

[aleisaetheridge]

Kate McKinnon is comedy gold in the alien encounter, Ive never laughed so hard 🤣🤣🤣

[dannonyogurt]

Bill Hader is in like half of these. The man is a living legend.

[williamcrowe]

The Colon Blow commercial was a parody of the classic Total ads where they'd stack bowls of a "leading brand" breakfast cereal one on top of the other, and it culminated in a *mountain* of cereal bowls.

[ItzMzJulezU]

Enjoyed most of this. I remember how often we would quote SNL in high school in the 70s! Classic moments. Gilda was a gift.
How stoned was Pete during the diner lobster skit?😵‍💫
Glad Nate Bergatze made the list. Really hoped Jason Momoa would too. His ‘Elf on the shelf’ was hilarious!
Smigel’s ‘TV Funhouse’ were always fun.
Thx for the walk down memory lane!😁

[EJOAKLORE]

How could you possibly leave out "Cork Soaking" with Janet Jackson? CLASSIC and HILARIOUS! 😁
