What fond memories do you have of Saturday night Live?

[Archae]

I have a bunch.

"The Bad News Bees"

"I'm Hans, und dis is my brudder Franz, and ve gonna pump you up!"

Andy Kaufman does horrible impressions in his "Latka" voice, and then blows everyone way doing Elvis.

Bill Murray as the Vegas lounge singer.

Carrie Fischer doing "Princess Leia doing a 60's beach movie."

Chevy Chase and Richard Pryor, "Job Interview."

So many more...

[mitchum]

1. Any of Michael O'Donoghue's appearances

also all of Ackroyd's sleazy characters

[Faygo Kid]

2. Schwetty balls, Swayze-Farley danceoff, Irwin Maneway toys, Wild and Crazy Guys, The Continental

Tina Fey as Sarah Palin, Unfrozen Caveman Lawyer, Rosanne Roseannadanna, Da Bears - are you kidding?

Way too many to list.

Here's one: http://www.evtv1.com/player.aspx?itemnum=1422

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

3. The Coneheads, and Sprockets.

[mitchum]

9. I loved Sprockets....

"Susan Sontag said that Munsters lies at 24 frames a second. Do you agree, Eddie Munster?"

[LibDemAlways]

4. This goes back a very long way, but

John Belushi as the short order cook who only made cheeseburgers no matter what anyone ordered. And Chevy Chase's pratfalls during the Ford administration.

[Common Sense Party]

20. "No Coke. Pepsi."

Cheebu'ger, cheebu'ger, cheebu'ger..."

[Joe Bacon]

40. Cheeburger, chips, Pepsi

And if you ever went to the Billy Goat Tavern, you'd see what inspired these sketches!

[Common Sense Party]

44. I figured it was based on a real place, but as a kid in Iowa, I had little

opportunity to see for myself. :0)

Is it still there? What's the ethnicity of the workers/owners? I always guessed SNL were doing Greek imitations or something...

[Joe Bacon]

46. It was there when I lived in Chicago during the late 70s

When I was going to school in Chicago during the late 70s, the Billy Goat was a great place for cheap eats. Those "cheeburgers" just went great with the Pepsi!

[WinkyDink]

5. My #1 = Bass-o-matic. "Mmmmm....that's good bass!"

[Brigid]

95. Here ya go:

Can you believe it actually took me a few minutes to find the original Dan Aykroyd skit?

http://vids.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=vids.individual&VideoID=33695570

[applegrove]

6. When Dr. Zeus died they had on Jessie Jackson to read "green eggs and ham" as if it was a speech.

I was crying I was laughing so hard.

[begin_within]

69. Sorry to be nitpicky,

but it's actually "Dr. Seuss." I've even heard TV reporters call him Dr. Zeus.

[TommyO]

7. Oh, that's very different...

Never mind.

[wickerwoman]

8. Theodoric of York

Jack Handy's Deep Thoughts

Mr. Bill

[orion007]

10. Father Sarducci never let us down, there every week like a beacon of light

http://www.fathersarducci.com/

[S n o w b a l l]

11. Steve Martin - two crazy guys

Eddie Murphy as Gumby, Buckwheat and Landshark.

[Lydia Leftcoast]

12. Ironically, it wasn't an SNL sketch

My boyfriend and I were watching SNL (I don't even remember what was on), and immediately afterward, there was a special news bulletin about the Jonestown mass suicide.

For a moment, we didn't know whether it was real or some especially sick SNL shtick.

[mitchum]

13. I was watching SNL when NBC broke in with the news of Lady Diana's death...

and I thought it was the set up to a sketch

[LibDemAlways]

27. Speaking of sick SNL shtick,

there was an incident back in the 70's in which singer Claudine Longet, ex-wife of Andy Williams, shot and killed her lover, a skier named Spider Sabich. SNL came up with a particularly tasteless video game, something like the Spider Sabich shooting gallery, in which the player took aim at the skier as he came down a hill. I remember being sort of appalled but thinking it was also clever in a perverse sort of way.

[peekaloo]

29. Claudine Longet Invitational Ski Shoot .

:evilgrin:

tasteless but funny

[LibDemAlways]

30. You have a good memory. Yep, bad taste delivered humorously.

[IBEWVET]

34. I guess I am sick also

That scene was the first thing that popped in my head, kind of like the skier kept popping up.

[mitchum]

47. Written by the comic genius of the sinister...

Michael O'Donoghue
RIP

[Amerigo Vespucci]

66. O'Donoghue, Doug Kenney, Chris Miller...National Lampoon's "Axis of Evil."

Seriously...anything worth reading in the magazine's glory years came from those three guys. Miller's the only survivor from the group...what a legacy. The quality of National Lampoon fell of a cliff about thirty seconds after these guys stopped contributing.

[peekaloo]

73. "fell off a cliff"

that made me snort.

[mitchum]

80. It blows my mind that I could buy such talent at the drugstore, convenience store...

or supermarket every month
Those were the days

[murielm99]

14. Those skits that Bill Murray and Gilda Radner did.

They were boyfriend and girlfriend. I loved those.

I liked John Belushi doing the parody of the Billy Goat, too.

[InternalDialogue]

15. The sketch about Belushi as the ship's gay captain when Eric Idle was hosting.

That thing totally snapped me when I first saw it. I think I caught it once more on rerun, but I have no idea if it made it to the DVD versions of the original cast. It was classic.

[proteus_lives]

16. Phil Hartman as Bill Clinton. Will Ferrell as Dubya.

Dennis Miller on Weekend Up-date.

Opera Man.

Canteen Boy.

Will Ferrell as Janet Reno

Celebrity Jeopardy.

Hartman's Reagan sketch.

"I LIVE IN A VAN DOWN BY THE RIVER!"

The Church Lady.

Wayne's World.

Dieter's Dream!

The 2000 election sketches.

[Amerigo Vespucci]

81. Hartman did a Clinton sketch on a show hosted by John Goodman...

...which, in hindsight, is somewhat disturbing. It was a parody of "Cops" and officers were called out over a domestic dispute between Bill and Hillary. The central joke was that Hartman and Jan Hooks (as Hillary) played it from the persona of every other "domestic abuse" episode of Cops. Kevin Nealon, as one of the officers, says to Bill "You know, if you don't stop this, one of these days she's gonna kill you," to which he replies "Yeah...but I love her."

Hard to watch that one after the death of Hartman. Masterfully played, excellent satire, still disturbing.

:toast:

[proteus_lives]

85. Very disturbing!

But it's still an awesome skit, I remember it. It caught the anti-Hillary tone of the times.

[PJPhreak]

17. Weekend Update With Jane Curtin and Dan Aykroyd

The first time I heard "Jane Yoy Ignorant Slut" you could hear my jaw hit the floor for blocks!

[Common Sense Party]

21. And Emily Litella.

"Never mind..."

[Common Sense Party]

18. Samurai Delicatessen

[Dr Morbius]

50. Samurai Tailor! (nt)

[Common Sense Party]

19. "Kill my landlord...kill my landlord"

C-I-L-L

[betharina]

25. Dark and lonely on the summer night.

Kill my landlord, kill my landlord.
Watchdog barking - Do he bite?
Kill my landlord, kill my landlord.
Slip in his window,
Break his neck!
Then his house
I start to wreck!
Got no reason --
What the heck!
Kill my landlord, kill my landlord.
C-I-L-L ...
My land - lord ...

[Common Sense Party]

37. Prose and Cons...what a great sketch.

Eddie Murphy wasn't even part of the cast yet when they did that, if I remember correctly.

[Whisp]

93. knock knock, whose there? 'Landshark'

Lol, haven't thought of that in YEARS.

[Common Sense Party]

22. "New Shimmer is a floor wax." "No, New Shimmer is a dessert topping."

[surrealAmerican]

52. I'll spray some on your mop, and some on your butterscotch pudding.

Tastes terrific, and just look at that shine!

[pokerfan]

23. Mens Synchronized Swimming

Gerald: Oh, it's not going to be easy. My brother and I know. Men have never done synchronized swimming in a sanctioned competition in this country. Officially, it's got like a zero acceptance rate.

Lawrence: I don't swim.

Gerald: Lawrence doesn't swim. So.. I mean, no, of course not.. no one's going to just walk up and hand us a gold medal. Men's syncro isn't even in the '88 Olympics yet.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F5mcONtwdwo

[Lydia Leftcoast]

35. As a side note, there's a Japanese comedy called "Water Boys"

about a group of high school boys who form a synchronized swimming team. (Yes, it's a women's sport in Japan, too.)

Unlike a lot of Japanese comedies, this one is actually funny to Westerners.

[Syrinx]

24. Richard Pryor's LSD monolog was hilarious

I've also heard that on one of Pryor's albums, but the version on SNL was vastly superior.

[peekaloo]

26. Films by Albert Brooks

very under appreciated.

[RagAss]

28. 75% of viewers actually believing that Andy Kaufman was .....

Randomly picking women out of the NBC studio audience in the early 1980's and wrestling them on stage.

That's when I knew this nation was fucked !!!!

[Rabrrrrrr]

31. Watching it with my cousins and eating pizza. And it came on after Flying Circus.

Back with the original SNL cast. My cousin often babysat me on Saturday nights, or we would go to other relatives' and we'd watch it together there.

Then I remember that SNL was awful for awhile, and then Phil Hartman and crew came in and there was some great stuff for a few years: Sprockets, Deep Thoughts, Anal Retentive Chef, and some others. Then it got really shitty again, and then the Will Ferrel crew came and there was some good stuff for a bit, and then it got shitty and seems to have stayed there.

[Rabrrrrrr]

32. Oh, and the night that Betty White hosted! That was awesome!

The writers actually pulled off almost an entire show of quality material.

And Betty was her perfectly awesome unstoppable wonderful self all the way through.

[MorningGlow]

33. Actually...

My memories were not only of what I was watching on SNL (the original performances of the Blues Brothers, Dan Aykroyd as Julia Child bleeding all over the place, and "Land Shark" come to mind), but more the memory of watching it with my older brother. He's 15 years older than I am (no siblings in between), so we had a weird family dynamic--I have a photo of him in his high school graduation gown and he's carrying me, 3 years old, in a yellow sundress, in the crook of his arm. Anyway, when SNL was at its peak with the original Not Ready for Prime Time Players, he was in law school, and I was in elementary school (like I said, weird dynamic). I remember when he'd come home to visit--he and I would lie on the floor with our heads against the bottom of the couch eating potato chips, and my mom would fall asleep on the couch behind us, so she never noticed what I was watching. Most of the jokes went over my head, but I could still enjoy the crazy stuff.

Every once in a while, when the skits were racy or crude, my brother would look over at me and say, "Are you supposed to be watching this?" And every once in a while my mother would half-wake up and mumble "Gotobed..." and then fall asleep again.

Man, I got away with murder when my brother was home. Good memories. :D

[Oceansaway]

36. Coneheads from French....nt

[GoCubsGo]

38. The Art Squad

This skit came out back when Jesse Helms was trying to cut funding for the National Endowment for the Arts over alleged indecencies. The skit showed a squad car tearing around town to the tune of some 19770s cop show. It had an "Art Squad" logo on the door. The scene had the car going through a park and winding up next to a statue of Michelangelo's "David". The doors opened up, and a hand holding a gun appears. In the next scene, David's genitalia get shot off, and the car drive off. LOL!

[KG]

39. i recall the first time stumbled onto it. commercial for speed,

howard shore and his all nurse band. totally off the wall. hooked instantly.

[Gidney N Cloyd]

43. Was that when Lily Tomlin did "St James Infirmary"?

[begin_within]

70. Lily Tomlin did a funny skit on SNL,

where it was a road trip in a car with 4 female characters, and she played all of them. My friends and I have been saying "Why can't some people just stay home!" often ever since then, when someone acts bad during a car trip or is a difficult fellow traveler.

[ThatsMyBarack]

41. Sheesh....where to begin....

Jim Belushi as the "Flashdance" dancer in Swan Lake.

JIm Belushi as "Boy George Burns."

Eddie Murphy's "Mr. Robinson's Neighborhood."

"Tonto, Tarzan, and Frankenstein." (Kevin Nealon, Jon Lovitz, and Phil Hartman)

Gilda Radner anything. (I got the DVD!)

Toonces the Driving Cat.

Tim Kazurinsky on the Saturday Night News (1980s).

Too many spoof ads to list: Santy Wrap, Rubik's Grenade, Colon Blow, AM Ale, Stevie Wonder for Canon cameras, Jiffy Pop air bags ("now available in Cheddar Cheese"), Shimmer floor wax/dessert topping, etc.

[MorningGlow]

78. Don't forget Happy Fun Ball

"Do not taunt Happy Fun Ball..."
:rofl:

[ThatsMyBarack]

83. Oh, yeah!

Accept No Substitutes! :rofl:

[MorningGlow]

84. Oh, thought of another one

Speaking of dancing (when you referenced Swan Lake): Chris Farley and Patrick Swayze auditioning for Chippendales!

[marzipanni]

42. Strangers in the Night....

Glances!
http://t1.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcTM2p4Y9v75abIrn_ANTmpBj114sDOd6RdswXszEQuPxlLWKaE&t=1&usg=__21teGuocnK-uxGt8y2ELaksE8d0=

[struggle4progress]

45. Al Franken's schtick as a revolutionary communist: he'd deliver these monologues

with a hammer and sickle behind him. My favorite was his fundraising for the revolution appeal, in which he begged listeners to send gold bars to Al Franken, PO Box ...

[Orsino]

48. "...Save the liver..."

Dan Akroyd as Julia Child--one of the few times my father and I watched together, and I really enjoyed his out-of-control giggling.

[tigereye]

49. all the wonderful and low key musical guests of the early days- not some of

the "flash in the pan" artists they have now...


I suppose watching all those great Belushi Samurai Delicatessen skits, Jane Curtin and Chevy Chase, Bill Murray as the lounge singer.


I also loved the Eddie Murphy Mr. Robinson's Neighborhood sketches and the sweet black and white films with Jon Lovitz et al, they used to make.



I miss how they could simply make the joke in the old days, and not have the skit drag on and on ad infinitum.

[old mark]

51. John Belushi as Liz Taylor eating a chicken leg..Funniest thing I ever saw on TV...nt

[Ikonoklast]

53. I remember watching the first night it aired as a 'summer show',

and thinking, WTF? The commercials floored me; I couldn't tell if was just real late-night schlock or a put-on.


The early years were ground-breaking, and in addition to all the skits mentioned above, I humbly submit the genius of Andy Kaufman, as he sings the theme from "Mighty Mouse".

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C570byQCLpI


I lost my breath laughing at this.




May he rest in peace.

[Gidney N Cloyd]

55. What do you mean, "May he rest in peace" ?

:D

[rocktivity]

104. I thought the "Coffee Achievers" commerical was just another SNL spoof

It wasn't until I saw it again two nights later on Monday Night Football that I realized that it HADN'T been a joke! Instant advertising industry laughingstock!

:rofl:
rocktivity

[Roon]

54. Mr.Bill and also the whiners

I used to laugh so hard.

[Bertha Venation]

56. the dance of Gilda Radner and Steve Martin

[Ghost of Tom Joad]

57. The Raging Queen

[IDemo]

58. "Church Chat", with Dana Carvey

Also, Dan Akroyd as Julia Child, bleeding profusely.

Chevy Chase taking bad falls as Gerald Ford.

Land Shark: "Jehovah's Witness".

[RobinA]

59. Bass-o-Matic

The wild and crazy guys, Julia Child, Candy-gram, Baba WaWa and the pesidential ewection, Chevy Chase as Gerald Ford, that family where Gilda Radner was the little girl. Then there was one with Radner and Murray where he was a guy named Todd. I can't remember that time period so well...

[rrneck]

60. Kill my landlord...

and Larry the Lobster. Best episode ever.

[txwhitedove]

61. Dana Carvey as rocker Derek Stevens singing "Choppin' Broccoli...."

:rofl:

[Mr. Ected]

62. Dana Carvey as Lyle, the Effeminate Heterosexual

Julia Sweeney as It's Pat

Jon Lovitz as Tommy Flanagan, the Pathological Liar (Yeah, that's the ticket!)

Al Franken as Stuart Smalley (Daily Affirmation: You're Good Enough, You're Smart Enough, and Doggone It, People Like You!)

Martin Short as Ed Grimley

Garrett Morris doing the news for the hearing impaired.

[Kat45]

63. Zappa's appearance, and Roseanne RosannaDanna.

"It's always something."

When Frank Zappa was on, he was in a couple of sketches. I think one was called something like "Night on Freak Mountain" and nobody would believe him when he said he didn't do drugs.

There was another sketch, "The Killer Christmas Trees," in which Christmas Trees stabbed and killed people, including Frank. I was in college at the time and at our house we made a super8 movie every year with footage of our events and sketches we wrote. I was in charge of the film that year and I came up with a parody sketch, The Killer Pot Plants. We cut big pot leaves out of green construction paper and two of my stoner friends dressed up as pot plants. I managed to get two of the most straight-laced guys at the house to be in the film, and they were the ones 'killed' by the pot plants. It was such a riot! I wish I still had a copy of the film.

A lot of other great things were already mentioned in this thread. Don't know if anyone mentioned Land Shark.

[Maccagirl]

64. Lord and Lady Douchebag

Coffee Talk
Church Chat
"Job Interview" (maybe the ballsiest sketch ever)
Lorne Michaels offering the Beatles $3000 for a reunion ("You can give Ringo less if you want...)
Nixon:The Final Days
Star Trek (with Belushi in all his genius as Kirk)
A credit card commercial with Roseanne as a customer rep and Phil Hartman as a customer. (If I had that kind of power over time and space do you think I'd be talking to a loser like you at 3 in the morning?")

[LNM]

90. Lord and Lady Douchebag

That is the absolutely funniest skit I've ever seen on SNL.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VJ2kfyQPfto

[Hassin Bin Sober]

65. Uh.. I, uh.. I took some acid.. I'm afraid to leave my apartment

Walter Cronkite: Thank you, Mr. President, ha ha! Our next call is Peter Elkin of Westbrook, Oregan, whom I am told is 17 years of age.

Peter (on phone): Hello? Hello?

President Jimmy Carter: Yes. Hello, Peter?

Peter (on phone): Is this the President?

President Jimmy Carter: Yes, it is.

Walter Cronkite: Do you have a question for the President?

Peter (on phone): Uh.. I, uh.. I took some acid.. I'm afraid to leave my apartment, and I can't wear any clothes.. and the ceiling is dripping, and uh.. I, uh..

Walter Cronkite: Well, thank you very much for calling, sir..

President Jimmy Carter: Just a minute, Walter, this guy's in trouble. I think I better try to talk him down. Peter?

Peter (on phone): Yeah..?

President Jimmy Carter: Peter, what did the acid look like?

Peter (on phone): They were these little orange pills.

President Jimmy Carter: Were they barrel shaped?

Peter (on phone): Uh.. yes.

President Jimmy Carter: Okay, right, you did some orange sunshine, Peter.

Peter (on phone): Very good of you to know that, sir.

President Jimmy Carter: How long ago did you take it, Peter?

Peter (on phone): Uh.. I don't know. I can't read my watch.

President Jimmy Carter: Alright, Peter, just listen. Everything is going to be fine. You're very high right now. You will probably be that way for about five more hours. Try taking some vitamin B complex, vitamin C complex.. if you have a beer, go ahead and drink it..

Peter (on phone): Okay..

President Jimmy Carter: Just remember you're a living organism on this planet, and you're very safe. You've just taken a heavy drug. Relax, stay inside and listen to some music, Okay? Do you have any Allman Brothers?

Peter (on phone): Yes, I do, sir. Everything is okay, huh Jimmy?

President Jimmy Carter: It sure is, Peter. You know, I'm against drug use myself, but I'm not going to lay that on you right now. Just mellow out the best you can, okay?

Peter (on phone): Okay..!

President Jimmy Carter: Okay.

[begin_within]

67. The first "Coffee Talk," with Mike Myers, Madonna, Roseanne Barr and Barbra Streisand

That was a classic moment on the show. Also I liked the commercial for "Compulsion, the world's most indulgent disinfectant," I liked the "Christmastime for the Jews" song, I liked the very first "Debbie Downer" skit because everyone was cracking up and trying to not laugh (except the one playing Debbie). I liked the skit where Gilda Radner interviewed Candice Bergen and got her name wrong and Candice cracked up. The episode where Frank Zappa appeared was pretty funny, the Stuart Smalley thing where Michael Jordan appeared with him was funny, and the recent episode with Betty White had some funny parts. Some of Robert Smigel's cartoons called "TV Fun House" have been very good too.

[Tabasco_Dave]

68. Dana Carvey - Grumpy old man

The older i get, the more i relate to this old fart.

72. The Al Franken Decade

Todd and Lisa Loopner, The Judy Miller Show, hell, anything Gilda Radner did, to mention another poster.

Eddie Murphy's Celebrity Hot Tub

You know you're old when you can call up a girlfriend, pinch your nostrils shut, say, "Telegram. Candygram," and she dissolves into giggles.

[IBEWVET]

74. Joe Cocker singing and

John Belushi coming up and did joe better than joe himself

[peekaloo]

75. Candace Bergen/Frank Zappa Christmas Show.

lots o' funny in that one. Killer Christmas Trees, Santi-Wrap, Irwin Mainway, Ad for extremely stupid people and my all time favorite sick Christmas dittie: Let's Kill Gary Gilmore for Christmas.

:-)

[Kat45]

102. Re: Killer Christmas Trees--check out my post #63 above

I loved that show too, and my post talks about a parody that I made of that sketch; mine was the Killer Pot Plants.

[mitchum]

76. William Burroughs being introduced by the lovely Lauren Hutton...

two of the teenaged mitchum's favorite people

[6000eliot]

77. Delicious Dish

86. 'TRYOPENIN'

And all the other phony commercials

[KamaAina]

87. The Ambiguously Gay Duo

But you know that they are gay, in an ambiguous way...

[Yavin4]

88. Tina Fey and Amy Poehler Sketch As Sarah Palin and Hillary Clinton

To this day, I'm still laughing at that sketch.

How funny was it? Sarah Palin never actually said, "I can see Russia from my house". Tina Fey did in that sketch, but everyone thinks that Palin said it.

[astral]

91. What Sarah Palin actually said was actually more ridiculous.

When asked what she has for experience in international relations she said well, Russia is our next door neighbor. I do not remember her exact words and am too lazy to look it up . . . : )

[myrna minx]

89. Many have already been mentioned, but oh how I loved "60 Minutes"

featuring the Minkmens and Nathan "you're the one who's being defensive" Thurm.

http://snltranscripts.jt.org/84/84f60minutes.phtml
Love it.

[Whisp]

92. Ackroyd doing Julia Child

and Massive Headwound Harry, think that was Carvey?

[AngryOldDem]

94. Laraine Newman doing the "Puppy Uppers" commercial.

This was early, early on -- 1977 or thereabouts. I just remember about wetting my pants I was laughing so hard.

Another funny Andy Kaufman skit is where he "sings" along with the record player.

[Brigid]

96. I'm loving this trip down memory lane.

I was in high school back when SNL first started, and I would stay up on Saturday nights to watch. My mother would say "Why are you watching that stupid show?" And I would go, "But mom, it's funny!" She would just roll her eyes.

[JustABozoOnThisBus]

97. Point-Counterpoint - "Jane, you ignorant slut"

It predicted today's "discussion" tv shows, but Point-Counterpoint was more polite.

:hi:

[skypilot]

98. Hearing Kate Bush for the first time.

I think I was about 12 when I saw her on SNL singing "Them Heavy People". I've been a fan of hers ever since.

[nytemare]

99. Emily Litella, Irwin Mainway, Cowbell, Deep Thoughts

Wayne's World, It's Pat, Unfrozen Caveman Lawyer, Cheeseburger Cheesburger..

So many fond memories.

100. Folgers Coffee: Rich enough to be served as human blood

Dana Carvey playing Bush Sr., as well as Ross Perot and the Church Lady...

Mike Myers in Coffee Talk, dropping all the Yiddish phrases
"OK now, this show used to be hosted by my friend Paul Baldwin, but he developed shpilkis in his genechtagazoink. So now he's in Boca Raton, Florida recovering nicely, thank you very much."

Also Dana Carvey playing the freaking drum set for real behind Aerosmith when they were guests on "Wayne's World"

Phil Hartman..... just Phil Hartman, RIP.

Weekend Updates - some better than others...

David Spade's "Dirtball and Burnout Convention" skit

Adam Sandler's Hanukkah song :)

Will Ferrell as Satan in a skit with Garth Brooks "FRED'S SLACKS IS A HIT!!!"

Will Ferrell as Alex Trebek on Jeopardy

[AAARRRGGGHHH]

101. It is brand-new

but I love Stefan.

[rocktivity]

103. Vintage era: "The Thing That Wouldn't Leave"

John Belushi as a guest who just couldn't take a hint that he'd overstayed his welcome. And that time Richard Pryor and the Samurai teamed up.

Modern era: Eddie Murphy as Little Richard Simmons and headmaster of the Velvet Jones School of Technology.

Post-modern era: Tina Fey as Sarah Palin, of course.
