(Image credit: NBC) With just seven iconic words put together, you know when it is, where it is, and what you’re in for: “Live from New York, it’s Saturday night!” Since its beginnings in 1975, Saturday Night Live (SNL) has been a cultural institution, its mixture of sketch comedy and the unpredictable energy of live television. Tracing the history of SNL means learning the vibes of a specific time and place. As cultural attitudes and values slowly but suddenly change, the answer to the simple question, “Is it funny?” is always figured out in real time. Making it to SNL remains a dream come true for many comedians, with the lucky few going on to even bigger and better levels of stardom. With half a century’s worth of hilarious sketch comedy, only some deserve recognition as truly the greatest. In celebration of the show’s continued legacy, here are 35 of the greatest SNL sketches of all time. 35. “Lazy Sunday” (December 17, 2005) (Image credit: NBC) 34. “Short Shorts for the USA” (September 29, 2001) (Image credit: NBC) 33. “Potato Chip” (December 5, 2009) (Image credit: NBC) 32. “Omeletteville” (October 11, 2003) (Image credit: NBC) 31. “Wing Pit” (February 5, 2023) (Image credit: NBC) Just in time for Super Bowl LVII, guest star Pedro Pascal teams up with Kenan Thompson for this sketch satirizing the saucy excesses of hot wings food franchises. At some point, Wing Pit’s onslaught of increasingly epic meal combos - and their “butt-destroying sauces” - gets too overwhelming. Before Pascal can put a stop to the madness, it’s too late. The eldritch darkness of devouring massacred animals settles in, with Wing Pit summoning the god of chickens to consume these helpless football fans like they’ve consumed chickens.

In this gem from mid-’90s SNL, Robert Downey Jr. guest stars as a member of the greaser “Cobras” who can’t help but sing his little heart out - all to the confusion of a flummoxed Macdonald. Will Ferrell, Chris Kattan, Cheri Oteri (a delight in the part of “tomboy girl who wants to be one of the guys”), and Tim Meadows all help make us wish “Cobras and Panthers” were a real golden age Hollywood musical. 29. “E-Sports Reporter” (October 27, 2019) (Image credit: NBC) 28. “Suel Forrester, Southern Lawyer” (November 14, 1998) (Image credit: NBC) 27. “Gap Girls at the Food Court” (January 15, 1994) (Image credit: NBC) 26. “George Bush Talks About the White House Drug Problem” (September 30, 1989) (Image credit: NBC) 25. “The Wizard of Oz” (October 4, 2013) (Image credit: NBC) 24. “Ronald Reagan Schemes with Sammy Davis, Jr.” (March 17, 1984) (Image credit: NBC) In a sketch that no one in their right mind would pitch today, actor/comedian Billy Crystal plays singer Sammy Davis, Jr. (yes, read that again) in this sketch opposite Joe Piscopo as Ronald Reagan. While Piscopo’s portrayal of Reagan is pretty good, Crystal’s impersonation of Sammy Davis Jr. isscarygood. For proof, watch the moment he walks in; the live audience is rendered speechless, unsure if it’s Billy Crystal or actually SDJ himself. While nothing in the sketch is gut-busting hilarious, it’s hypnotic just to see Crystal locked in as someone else completely. 23. “Black Widow Trailer” (May 3, 2015) (Image credit: NBC) At the height of Marvel’s reign over pop culture, Saturday Night Live took the franchise to task over its inability to greenlight a female-led superhero movie. So when Scarlett Johansson came to spend the week at 30 Rock to advertise Avengers: Age of Ultron, the team at SNL cooked up a hilarious parody of what a “girl superhero movie” would look like: a sugary, ineffective and inoffensive rom-com about Black Widow (Johassnon) falling in love in New York. In meshing the theatrics of superhero action movies with the worn-out cliches of romantic comedies, SNL highlighted just how “gendered” mainstream movies typically are. 22. “Wayne’s World: Aerosmith” (February 17, 1990) (Image credit: NBC) You know you’re watching something special when Tom Hanks is, like, the third-most interesting person in the segment. A year after Mike Myers and Dana Carvey first appeared as Wayne and Garth respectively, the two reunite to welcome hard-rockers Aerosmith; the sketch supposes Aerosmith are playing in their town and that being on Wayne’s World is good press. Before Steven Tyler can belt out his own cover of the Wayne’s World theme however, you’ve got Tom Hanks as Garth’s cousin Barry, who is so sharp as a guy who takes his roadie job too seriously. Props to Carvey, who actually played drums and successfully jams along to rock and roll legends. 21. “Pool Boy” (April 17, 2016) (Image credit: NBC) It’s maybe not out of line to say that Chad, the ultimate “eff boy” with inexplicable power over women is probably just Pete Davidson playing a version of himself. In the first-ever sketch featuring Davidson’s Chad, titled “Pool Boy,” Julia Louis-Dreyfus plays a bored suburban housewife who acknowledges the cliche of having an affair with her 23-year-old pool boy. The twist in the knife is that Chad doesn’t really care, with the most he can physically say are variations of “Okay” and “sick.” Okay. Sick. 20. “Breaking Into the Central Park Zoo Polar Bear Cage” (May 13, 1995) (Image credit: NBC) 19. “Harry Potter: Hermione Growth Spurt” (May 1, 2004) (Image credit: NBC) 18. “Little Chocolate Donuts” (November 19, 1977) (Image credit: NBC) With the help of legendary sports commentator Marv Albert, John Belushi looks like a real Olympic athlete in this satire of Wheaties commercials (actually advertising fattening chocolate doughnuts). Ditching the in-your-face hysteria that Belushi would be known for in the National Lampoon movies, “Little Chocolate Donuts” delights in its subtlety, notably the lit cigarette in Belushi’s fingers. Unlike real doughnuts, the sketch is quick and lean, selling its joke without caking on much more. It’s a real darling of early SNL, and indicative of all the ways SNL would smartly lampoon commercial advertising in the decades to come. 17. “Three Sad Virgins” (November 14, 2021) (Image credit: NBC) 16. “Beavis and Butt-Head” (April 14, 2024) (Image credit: NBC) 15. “Star Wars Undercover Boss: Starkiller Base (January 17, 2016) (Image credit: NBC) 14. “King Tut” (May 22, 1978) (Image credit: NBC) King Tut! How’d you get so funk-ayyy?When a popular museum exhibition centered around Egyptian figure King Tutankhamun made him an unexpected point of obsession in the late 1970s, the incomparable Steve Martin tried to separate fact from fiction. With a song, he tried “to use the ancient modalities and melodies” in the hopes that “we can all learn something.” Then, with a gaping O-shaped face and exaggerated arm movements, Martin did the complete opposite, in a killer musical number that gets people holding their sides to this day. 13. “Haunted Elevator” (October 23, 2016 (Image credit: NBC) 12. “Black Jeopardy with Tom Hanks” (October 23, 2016) (Image credit: NBC) Tom Hanks' October 2016 episode is top-to-bottom one of the greatest episodes in modern era SNL. In that episode’s installment of “Black Jeopardy,” Hanks plays a middle aged white male contestant in a MAGA hat named “Doug” who, quite unexpectedly, wins over the crowd and even show host Darnell Hayes (Keanan Thompson). After Doug nails a question - to the surprise and delight of Darnell - the sketch takes a sharp turn where Doug could actually win the whole thing, so long as he doesn’t answer the last question. 11. “WWE Promo Shoot” (March 29, 2015) (Image credit: NBC) 10. “Chippendales Audition” (October 27, 1990) (Image credit: NBC) The sketch that made Chris Farley an SNL legend is also one of its most controversial. Hinging entirely on the joke that Farley’s body is nothing like chiseled specimen Patrick Swayze (who was that week’s guest star), Farley embarrasses himself as an aspiring Chippendales dancer to the delight of audiences. Unfortunately, the sketch and others like it (which Farley described with the universal theme of “fatty falls down”) had a tremendously harmful impact on Farley’s mental health and self-esteem. Today, “Chippendales Audition” remains divisive, as both an example of Farley’s full-throated commitment to his performance and a reinforcement of body negativity. 9. “Medieval Times” (January 26, 2020) (Image credit: NBC) Adam Driver is known for his deadly serious commitment to his craft, but he also knows how funny that reputation can be. With “Medieval Times,” Driver lampoons actors who are just a bit extra, playing a local community theater thespian named Cameron who crosses the line at his gig at a New Jersey Medieval Times. As Driver veers way off script to live out his own improvised version of Braveheart, emcee Mikey Day quickly spirals into a hilarious panic. Adam Driver is easily one of the best guest stars SNL has ever had, and sketches like “Medieval Times” prove his mettle. 8. “Jingleheimer Junction” (September 26, 1998) (Image credit: NBC) 7. “Election Night 2016” (November 13, 2016) (Image credit: NBC) With the pungent odors of the 2016 election still in the air, SNL finally acknowledged how myopic one side of the political spectrum had been going into that fateful day in November. Dave Chapelle, with surprise guest Chris Rock, join their friends Vanessay Bayer, Aidy Bryant, Beck Bennett, and Cecily Strong to give them a dose of reality as they struggle to accept just how ineffectual the Clinton campaign was (as well as how insufficient the electoral college is). In the end, “Election Night” reminded us that we would be in for a long eight years. 6. “Pumping Up with Hans and Franz: Arnold Schwarzenegger” (October 26, 1991) (Image credit: NBC) Fans of Conan O’Brien know why this sketch, featuring guest Arnold Schwarzenegger, is the stuff of SNL legend. While the sketch itself is amusing - with Kevin Nealon and Dana Carvey reprising their Austrian bodybuilders as they meet their “cousin” Arnold Schwarzenegger - it’s more interesting because of its inspired movie that never was. Along with comedian and writer Conan O’Brien, and even Schwarzenegger on board, a movie musical was written under the title Hans and Franz: The Girlyman Dilemma. Eventually the project fell apart, but its hilarious script was read aloud in a May 2023 episode of O’Brien’s podcast, Conan Needs a Friend. (Image credit: NBC) 4. “Debbie Downer: Disney World” (May 1, 2004) (Image credit: NBC) 3. “Papyrus” (October 1, 2017) (Image credit: NBC) 2. “Andy Kaufman” (October 11, 1975 and November 8, 1975) (Image credit: NBC) There never was, nor will there ever again be, a comedian like Andy Kaufman. A comedian seemingly playing 3D chess with the audience, Kaufman’s style can be reductively called “anti-comedy,” with his sketches challenging expectations of what is funny and who is actually being laughed at. While Kaufman was never a full-fledged SNL cast member, he made multiple guest appearances that have become SNL lore. On October 11, 1975, during the very first episode of SNL, Kaufman was invited to play out his absurdist act of “Foreign Man”; his legendary “singing” of the Mighty Mouse theme song was aired that day, while the other portions of his act were broadcast weeks later on November 8. Kaufman’s presence proves that even from the very beginning, SNL was trying to change everything audiences would assume what comedy is supposed to be. 1. “More Cowbell” (April 8, 2000) (Image credit: NBC) Is “More Cowbell” actually the greatest SNL sketch? Or is it just the most popular? Whatever the case, “More Cowbell” has basically enjoyed a life of its own. With Christopher Walken as a guest host playing the role of a prominent record producer, the sketch brings audiences back to 1976 as Blue Oyster Cult record their classic rock single “(Don’t Fear) the Reaper.” Will Ferrell stars as a band member playing the cowbell, which annoys frontman Chris Parnell but delights Walken, who constantly demands “more cowbell.” Before the sketch, no one could have told you that the song has an audible cowbell. But after Will Ferrell’s overexaggerated playing, his jelly roll hips gyrating in the air, no one can ever forget it.
