The Best Ever Saturday Night Live Skits

Saturday Night Live, everyone's favorite late-night comedy sketch show, has given us some of the best knee-slapping comedy and gut-busting laughter we've ever had. SNL skits have been so famous they've launched their own movies, like The Coneheads, The Ladies Man, Wayne's World, etc. Having been a fan of the show from a young age, I now give you my own compilation of the Best Ever Saturday Night Live skits.

Debbie Downer
Sadly, Rachel Dratch, who played Debbie Downer, has left SNL to be a whole slew of different characters on the also hilarious new NBC comedy 30 Rock, based on an SNL-type comedy sketch show. Debbie Downer is, like her name suggests, Miss Negativity. As her theme song depicts, she's always ready to tell you about some new disease, a car accident or killer bees. You'll beg her to stop you "Debbie, please!" but along comes Debbie Downer. The best is when they do a close-up on Dratch, or should I say Debbie, and they play that sad wah-wahhh sound. Even better is when Dratch just can't compose herself and starts laughing. The audience loves it when the cast screws up! And these skits have a lot of those. Check out the one with guest host Lindsay Lohan.

More Cowbell!
If you don't know what this means, you MUST watch the classic skit where Will Ferrell along with rock band Queens of the Stone Age are a unique band with Christopher Walken as head honcho. Will Ferrell, in a belly shirt and wig no less, prances around as...no, not the guitarist, and no not the drummer...but the player of the cowbell. "I got a fever," says Christopher Walken, "and the only cure...is...MORE COWBELL!" The skit is hilarious and what's also great is later on in the episode Will Ferrell joins Queens of the Stone Age on stage as they perform...where he proceeds to, yep you guessed it, play the cowbell.
