Saturday Night Live

[ach60]

When I was a 15-year-old kid in 1975 the whole world stopped whatever Saturday Night Debauchery we were doing and watched Saturday Night Live.

While this clip is not from '75, it's classic SNL

What is all this talk I hear about saving Soviet jewelry?

[calvinater]

Buck Henry was the best.

The show - the writing and the players - was more clever back then. Way funnier and less political.....

Guest appearances by Steve Martin were classic.

And many musical guests which only the "NY cool guys" have ever heard of....

Buddy of mine did his dissertation on how to tell the age and demographics of a person based on the cast of SNL that they found funny last. My dad was the Bill Murray cast. I was between them and the Eddie Murphy cast. I couldn't stand the Farley years. Current cast is kinda oatmeal soupish.

Back when SNL had guts

Air the fake Krugerrand commercial today and see how quickly you get cancelled.

I'm assuming the DVDs have this ad stripped out for obvious reasons...

The barfatorium was pretty good. That ladle got a lot of use.

I regularly watched the OG SNL with Jane Curtin, Garret Morris, Dan Ackroyd, John Belushi etc as they were by far the funniest.

But the cork soaker skit from the 2000s was Very Funny & not likely to be on TV again any time soon

I remember well the early days of SNL.
But overall through the decades SNL is one of those forms of entertainment that may have a few funny moments in any episode. (Sometimes not)
But for the most part it is a lot of 3rd grade bathroom humor that is more stupid than entertaining.

Never watch it live. My Wife likes it more than I but even she fast forwards through a good 80-90% of it.

Gilda Radner soared above the rest. Soviet Jewelry still makes the rounds in our house generations later.

Roseanne Rosannadana was a hoot. One of the funniest skits was when she did a speech on saving endangered feces.

..and, of course, Weekend Update. Jane, you ignorant slut!

I still remember the first first episode I watched. Chevy falling over the Christmas tree as president Ford.
One time while in NYC we were walking around and it was late. We walked into a side door of Rockefeller Center looking for a bathroom. Then walked out onto a red carpet with a small crowd standing around. I asked what was going on. Someone said their waiting for the cast of SNL. So we waited, too. We saw Dan Akroyd (he was the guest) Will Farrel, Tracy Morgan and Loren Michelle’s. Probably a few others.
