1. Lazy Sunday

"The Chronic of Narnia". Cupcakes and red whips, they're crazy delicious. This skit takes off on the innocent pleasures of a New York suburb on Sunday and the rap gifts of every Narnia lover.

2. Cross Fire

Jane Curtain and Dan Aykroyd do the now familiar he says she says commentary. This is a spoof of "60 minutes". Whatever topic is discussed because an exchange of focused rage and demoralizing put-downs.

Those immoral words: "Jane you ignorant slut"

3. Steve Martin Hosting Skits

Alec Baldwin, Paul Simon, and Chevy Chase taunt Martin about not being in the "6" club. Nothing is so funny as martin's ambition to be the most-hosted SNL emeritus alive.

4. Taco Deluxe

The taco deluxe that goes to ridiculous lengths to be "deluxe". Double and triple decker cheese fried gravy slopped supertacos in tote bags just go the distance. A truly disgusting but accurate commentary on fast food.

5. David Spade Keeping Jesus in the waiting room

David Spade plays an obnoxious receptionist whose plastic façade and snotty demeanor keeps even Jesus from getting anywhere. His snidely smug patter and earpiece and headgear block any progress at all.

6. Mechanic Bedtime Story

Dan Aykroyd is a abrupt mechanic telling his young daughter Gilda Radner a bedtime story. After several attempts to sift the fairytale story oeuvre, he gives up and tell an amalgam fairytale of mechanical terms.

7. Cork Soakers

Janet Jackson guest stars in an Italian Winery The Cork Soaking room is a feature. Low-hanging fruit is prominent as the cork soakers discuss their various methodologies.

8. Revenge of the Sith Parody

Jimmy Fallon impersonates Hayden Christiansen in the Star Wars Preqel. Clever interleafs of actual footage with Natalie Portman make the dialogue work well. The hilarity comes the more banal Fallon plays "Anakin".

9. "Godfather Therapy" with Jim Belushi

25 years before 'Analyze That", Jim Belushi's killer Marlon Brando impression stops the show. The ditzy blonde and Elliott Gould as the support group leader are hilarious. We know how dangerous Vito Corleone is. But the forceful dynamics of the group play comedically well.

Takeaways
  • Low-hanging fruit is prominent as the cork soakers discuss their various methodologies
  • The hilarity of the too-serious Star wars thesmes becomes the more banal Fallon plays "Anakin".
  • Dan Aykroyd is a abrupt mechanic telling his young daughter Gilda Radner a bedtime story

Great article, The taco bell parody is also my favorite. It's so funny. I thought it kind of looked delicious until it really got disgusting. Ie: the tote bag. How about the latest one with Timberlake back in December "Put your junk in the box" That was really funny. Bye.

My favorites are some of the recent ones like the Haunted one with Hugh Laurie, anything with Brian Fellows Animal Planet (or whatever that was), the cheerleaders, etc. It seems like one week will rock and the next isn't so good but I still record it every week. :)
