Best scenes/skits - SNL history

Yup, right after Bush's line of "Stay the course, we're on track, a thousand points of light."

 

I must have missed the many replies of "More Cowbell". Because there's no way this thread is this old without a mention of it.

 

Cowbell was too obvious to mention.

Massive head wound Harry

 

And I'm assuming "Dick in a Box" doesn't count.

 

Jon Lovitz as Harvey Fierstein hosting "Plug Away." The one with Ted Danson playing Pat Riley, and Fierstein saying, "Now Pat, I know you're not gay. But if you were, would you be my Valentiiiiiiiiiiiiiine?"

ADD: Sadly, because of protests from the gay community, they stopped doing that skit. I think they only did it twice -- once when Danson hosted and once when Roseanne hosted.

 

A roundtable discussion with Geronimo (Jon Lovitz); Tarzan (Kevin Nealon) and Frankenstein (Phil Hartman)...

Today's subject, fire.... Geronimo?
Fire good.
Ah, yes. Tarzan?
Fire good.
Indeed. Frankenstein?
Fire bad..... FIRE BAD! FIRE BAAAAAAD!

And one that I always loved was Farley and Sandler reading from the Zagat's guide... oh yeah, and Jingleheimer Junction, from the episode with Cameron Diaz

 

Great one!

Back in those early '90s days, I would tape SNL and be out on Saturday night. The gang from the bar would then come back to my apartment after bar time for scrambled eggs, hashbrowns and SNL. I laughed so hard at Massive Headwound Harry that one of the girls eventually bought me one of those little troll dolls with red hair because with the bad red glue job on its little head she said it looked just like Massive Headwound Harry. It's a refrigerator magnet and it's still on my refrigerator as we speak.

And I still have that on tape, too.

 

Great call on Jingleheimer Junction. I saw that one when a bunch of us were on a ski trip. The next day on the slopes we were spelling out Friendship, Unity, Caring and Kindness with our bodies and ski poles kind of like doing YMCA.

 

Belushi as Joe Cocker....

 

Reminds me of one of the funnier random moments of my life... at a karaoke bar one evening when a dude puts on this song.. we joke if he's going to do the full on Belushi... no sooner do we say it then he staggers around, nearly falls off the stage, and proceeds to nail it.
