One of my guilty television pleasures is watching Saturday Night Live (SNL). Well, when I can stay awake that is. It's unusually cold in Southwest Florida today and there is nothing like laughter to warm a body up. To help with that, I've gathered 5 of the best laugh out loud sketches from SNL comedians for TikTok Tuesday. There are so many great ones to share, this was both had and fun to narrow down to just five.
The late night comedy show debuted in the mid 70's. Since then, great comedians have come and gone and come back again. However, some of the best in the business got their start or made their mark by being part of the SNL ensemble. It's always fun when they return to join colleagues and the newer cast members in sketches and specials. Some of these sketches and characters have been ingrained in American culture. Many have even been made into box office hits.
If you don't have a TikTok account, don't worry. I've tried to make it easy by taking these links from mine All you need to do is scroll down and hit play from this post. In addition, all of these videos are office friendly. I tried to avoid the more salty sketches, and there are many of them. I'll put those together for a future post. In the meantime, share these with your friends who could also use a good laugh today or a dose of SNL nostalgia.
Enjoy 5 of the best laugh out loud sketches from SNL comedians.
Hot Tubs Are Always Fun For Comedians
One of my favorite hot tub sketches from SNL was Eddie Murphy channeling Little Richard. This one is pretty good too. When two comedic greats like Jim Carrey and Will Farrell get together, the laughs are almost always guaranteed. Jim plays crazy like no one else can. Check it out.
Justin Timberlake and Jimmy Fallon have become another great and perhaps unsuspecting comedic duo. Especially when it comes to music sketches. I had not seen this one until recently. Any Bee Gee's fans here? You will get a kick out of their attempts to hit the signature high notes.
Classic David Spade
I still sing this song in the kitchen, when I'm chopping broccoli. Seriously. It's a silly song that sticks with you. This is evidence of how something so simple, can be so funny and leave a lasting impression. If you have not heard this ditty yet, sorry. You will never unhear it. If you know it, you are welcome for revisiting.
Mary Katherine Gallagher Catholic School Girl Classic
Molly Shannon is such a great physical comedian. Her characters are hilarious and Mary Katherine Gallagher is a signature. I love her. How many times have you (or have you wanted to) put your hands up and exclaimed "Superstar"? I wont ask about the pit smelling. If you have not seen this sketch, enjoy.
Superstar Laughs With JT And Queen B
This one resurfaced in my feed not too long ago. I love moments when superstars take a break from taking themselves seriously. Fun fact. When Justin Timberlake was in NSYNC and Beyoncé was in Destiny's Child, the two groups toured together. These guys are hilarious with their dancing and attitudes.
