Best scenes/skits - SNL history

What's all this fuss I keep hearing about Soviet jewelry?

If it's not a sweat ball on your nose, it's a piece of toenail in your hamburger.

And where he goes, I will swallow! Swallow!
And where he goes, I will swallow! Swallow!

How do I know you're not that shark?

What's all this fuss I keep hearing about endangered feces?

Ladies and gentlemen, give it up for the late, great Gilda Radner

This thread is incomplete without a Buck Henry sketch. STUNT BABY!!!

I was always fond of Uncle Roy, the pedophile babysitter.

Lot's of great ones mentioned already. I've had many laughs remembering many of these. Two more fake commercials I liked:

Oops I crapped my pants.

Bug Off:

Spokesman: Roaches. Eliminating them from your home should be safe, as well as effective. Most products on the market today use strong poisons to seize a roach's central nervous system, paralyze him, and eventually kill them. Can't we do better than that? Now you can, with new Bug-Off.

Roaches are attracted to Bug-Off by a chemical message that says, "Come on in, it's warm and safe in here." Once inside, the roach is held fast by a powerful adhesive, while three pairs of tiny tweezers grab the roach's legs and strech them in opposite directions until, eventually, they snap off. Meanwhile, a red-hot metal coil burns off the roach's reproductive organs, as the roach's own legs are used to beat him senseless. And, with the patented clear-view window, you can be sure it's working. Finally, wads of turpentine silk cotton are stuffed into the roach's orifices, while a tasty piece of food dangles just out of his reach.

True, none of this will actually kill the roach.. but it will give him plenty to think about. So stop coddling your roaches. They've had it too good for too long. Give them what they deserve, with Bug-Off.

Announcer: Bug-Off. Go Medieval!

Always be cobbling.

Lots of great ones mentioned so far. But in the runner-up category, you have to include:
- the Harry Potter spoof with Lindsay Lohan as Hermione
- when Barbara Streisand came out for "Coffee Talk", shocking Mike Meyers, Madonna and Roseanne Barr

Sirs, Madames,

I'm a sucker for Fred Garvin and Bassomatic ("That's good bass.")

YD&OHS, etc

I think I remember that one. Did Hartman do the voiceover? I sure hope so.

Goodness, that was a hilarious one. Same episode with the original Debbie Downer, which had me howling.

And major props to Ralphie for mentioning oops I crapped my pants!

One of my favorites will date me, but I remember not being able to stop laughing when they showed the Claudine Longet Invitational skiing tournament.

She was the one who shot her boyfriend, Spider Sabich, a professional skiier. They would show clips of wipeouts and you'd here a gunshot. "Boy, you really nailed that one, Claudine."

If I remember right, they may have been banned from showing it again in reruns at the time, but I know I've seen it since then.

Just genius.

 

[old_tony]

"And another skier accidentally shot by Claudine Longet!"

 

[Fenian_Bastard]

I just saw the excellent "Lovers" sketch with Walken.
"And I was there, too."
And let us not forget Rachel Dratch as Ann (Weakest Link) Robinson"
'SILENCE, MONKEY!"
