  • I love rewatching the sketches..but the voice overs and explanations overwhelmed the actual product.
  • @jeatig
    Honorable mention: the "BUCKWHEAT'S BEEN SHOT!!" sketch!!
  • @grovercorp834
    Jon lovitz as the devil in people's court is priceless....and Bill Murray as Hercules is even better
  • @angiehuth1638
    Yeah my favorite was always Eddie Murphy as gumby with the catch phrase "I am gumby dammit
  • @kamsismith
    Matt Foley and the Chippendales audition. I wish Chris Farley was alive to know that a new generation of people love his work.
  • Kate McKinnon is comedy gold in the alien encounter ,Ive never laughed so hard 🤣🤣🤣
  • @BlissfulDee
    I am shocked that there wasn't more Belushi - he was sooooo good as William Shatner/Capt. Kirk in the Star Trek's Last Voyage skit and hilarious as the Hulk in The Superhero Party.
  • @sretePnitsuJ
    you left out Dan Aykroyd as Julia Child?! sacrilege, darling.
  • There were only 2 I could think of, they were "Land Shark" & Gilda Radner's "Brownie" routine.
  • @Nightstorm511
    After watching the Top 10 version of this, I knew more cowbell was going to be #1!
  • @pompom11
    I was in College in 1975, and saw ALL these amazing SNL shows. Made a great Saturday chillin’ night relaxing at home. 👍🏻
  • @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.
  • @rockabillypug
    No Jon Lovitz liar guy? Billy Crystal as Fernandez? Buckwheat? Target Lady? Deep Thoughts?
  • @dannonyogurt98
    Bill Hader is in like half of these. The man is a living legend.
  • @leebarnathan4728
    Here's one you missed, from about 1986: William Shatner at a Star Trek convention telling everyone to "get a life."
  • @TheTanyajocool
    Thank you for the list. Church Lady should have been in the top 20 for sure.
