You Favorite SNL Character
 

This was one of the "4 Downs" questions at the end of NFL Total Access. Thought it would make good discussion. Mine would have to be Phil Hartmann's Anal Retentive Chef. I was tearing up when he was making sure the garbage didn't leak onto the other garbage.

Dana Carvey did nearly all of my favorites except for the top one:

Chris Farley's motivational speaker

It was really only funny the first time he did it, but my god I don't know if I've ever laughed so hard at the same thing over and over again.

Unfrozen Caveman Lawyer

Bill Murray's lounge singer

Billy Crystal and Christopher Guest as the two friends who "hate it when that happens."

Chris Rock's Nat X.

Wayne Campbell

Christopher Walken the Continental

the motivational speaker

Will Forte as Zell Miller

Colonel Angus

bingo

I'll have to go with Mr. siberian khatru and say Unfrozen Caveman Lawyer.

One of the greatest characters in the history of literature and media.

FAX

The land shark.

bass-o-matic dude

Opera-Man

Wayne & Garth

Molly Shannon's Mary Catherine

The new people - Kristen Wiig & Jason Sedakis couple who think they're so cool.

Alec Baldwin...dont know the name of his character, but he always wanted to kiss everyone else, even the dog.

dude I forgot ....... The Coneheads

Tyrone Green
Samurai Anything
The Festrunk Brothers

One-time character: Jim Carrey's overzealous hot tub lifeguard.

Recurring character:

The Poehler/Fey newscast team

The Chris Kattan monkey boy guy

Mr. Robinson, maybe?

And for some odd reason, those head-bobbing guys out on the town were always funny to me.

:thumb:

Chris Farley in about anything...especially the motivational speaker. (.....a van down by the river....)

Chris Kattan's Mango

I don't remember who's in it but I love the "Da Bears" sketch.

That would be Farley, George Wendt, Mike Myers and a writer Robert Smigle

wouldn't that have been the anal retentive carpenter, or did they do a series of anal retentiveness??

oh, and for top four...

matt foley, motivational speaker
unfrozen caveman lawyer
sean connery on celebrity jeapardy
harry carey, played by will farrell

Yeah they had a whole bunch of them. His name was Eugene
http://snl.jt.org/char.php?i=199

Harry Carey, John Luvotz's characters ("acting" guy, devil, David Crosby, etc), the Bloater Brothers, Carvey's Carson/Carsenio, Hub's Gyros guys, Hartman's Sinatra.

That one always cracked me up.

Matt Foley - Chris Farley Motivational Speaker
Massive Head Wound Harry - Dana Carvey
Benjamin Brauer - Chris Farley "finger quote" tv guy

NO HORSEPLAY IN THE POOL!

Oh no you didn't

Jon Lovitiz's that's the ticket
The copy guy-making copies
My favorite was one of the orignal girls that died from cancer(Husband was a comedian/actor). She played a little girl in her room putting on a show with dolls. It was priceless.

PBJ FirstDownSamie PBJ

Chevy Chase - News Anchor
Eddie Murphy - Mr. Robertson's Neighborhood
Dana Carvey - Church Lady

Scrorp, it thiuerntinertineiurntiwentinwtini. Horn is good!!!!!!!!!!!!

i do not remember the character and it is old timer but The one I remember most was the skit of the "British" (Julia Childs maybe?) cook and she stabbed her hand while doing a cooking show. Blood was squirting everywhere while they were trying to continue the show. Blood was hitting the ceiling and all over the food. I laughed my azz off.

I have not watched for a few years but will always remember that skit.

They had another one long ago when Julia Louis-Dreyfus was on the show. The Terminator came and stormed through the set looking for her. When he found her, he yelled that she should raise her arms. She did, and then he grabbed her breasts and left. I found that quite amusing.

i always liked Leon Phelps "Ladie's Man", as well as Burt Reynolds celeb jeopardy, and the company computer guy jimmy fallon.

will ferrell's devil character w/ Garth Brooks, and mike meyer's character the hyper hypo

Fred Garvin, Male Prostitute
Nat X
Phil Hartman's Frank Sinatra
Jimmy Fallon's Computer Guy "MOVE!" LOL!
Celebrity Jeopardy

many others I simply can't think of right now

john belushi's samuri
eddie murhy as gumby
the coneheads
the church lady
point - counterpoint with jane curtain and gilda radner

Wow...there have been a lot...

Unfrozen Caveman Lawyer
Landshark
John Belushi as the Samuri
Ubetcha - "Cheeseburga! Cheeseburga! Cheeseburga!"
Mr. Robinson's Neighborhood

...but my favorite of all is probably...

Eddie Murphy in James Brown's Celebrity Hot Tub Party

"I'm gonna git in da wata! DUN, DUN, DUN, DU-DUN Owwww!"

ROFL

Gilda Radner was one of the funniert I've ever seen. She had the widest range of almost anyone ever on SNL. She was married to Gene Wilder of "Blazing Saddles" fame, and more. She died in '89 from ovarian cancer IIRC.

Dan Ackroyd played Julia Childs in the skit referred to earlier here.

There have been some funny people on SNL over the years but I think the original cast was best, the ground breakers.

Canteen Boy the sketch where Alec Baldwin tries to put the moves on him on the camping trip.

Horatio Sands when he played Aaron Neville

The one where Matt Foley and Martin Larence were cell mates in prison and giving a Scared Straight lecture to some school kids. They kept arguing over who was who's biatch. I laughed my ass off.

Also when Chris Farley was auditioning for the Chippendales dancers.

ROFL ROFL ROFL

I'm sorry to say I haven't seen much of the original cast's work. I was born in the late 70's so by the time I was old enough to watch the torch had been handed down to Adam Sandler, Chris Farley, Dana Carvey etc.

Just so every knows, Peyton Manning's hosting on March 24th

Fred Garvin, Male Prostitute (Dan Akroyd)
Dieter (Mike Meyers)
Velvet Jones (Eddie Murphy)
Frank Sinatra (Phil Hartman > Joe Piscopo)
Annoying Man (Jon Lovitz)
Bill Clinton (Darrell Hammond)
Ross Perot (Dana Carvey)
Chico Esquela (Garrett Morris)
Opera Man (Adam Sandler)

Will Ferrel - Harry Carey and the homeless guy who poses nude for art class....cant forget Robert Goulet and Neil Diamond.

Martin Short - Jackie Rogers Jr., Ed Grimley, and the defensive guy on 60 minutes

Canteen Boy

Alec Baldwin - Schweaty Balls

Phil Hartman's Frank Sinatra

Chris Farley - motivational speaker....and anytime he dressed up as either Meatloaf or Wilson Phillips...and of course, the chippendale dancer.

I see a theme! You like naked guys, canteen boy and schweaty balls--Good for you!

Rosanna-Rosanna Danna ROFL

Add that and his avatar and it all makes sense

Who played Mr. No Depth Perception? Phil Hartman?

THAT was some funny chit right there.

And Rob Schnieder as the Rich Meister in the copy room.

:thumb:

.

Steve Martin/Dan Akroyd - as 'The swinging Wild and crazy guys' Yortuk Festrunk and Georg Festrunk

John Belushi - "the Samurai" in Samurai Delicatessen

More recently, Bill Hader's Peter O'Toole and Al Pachino impressions. Also during Tom Hank's monologue.... "I am an albino monk, and ya, we're kinda creepy.... <stares>"

Peter Sarsgard's Target Manager on a Break was awesome too. In fact his whole episode was awesome... Sarrrrrrrsgarrrrd.

Chris Farley's Chippendales Audition

That reminds me of "The Whiners." http://img.snlarc.jt.org/arc/chartn/...g%20Whiner.jpg

And what about John Belushi's Donuts of Champions skit?

John Belushi as Joe Cocker.

Kevin Nealon

Thats right ... and he was pretty damn funny too.

Especially when he put his head through the front window of the house trying to look outside for a car going down the street.

ROFL

.

Matt Foley
The Blizzard Man
Tim Meadows as OJ Simpson
Christopher Walken as the Continental

I like all those that have been mentioned..

just adding on.. I like the Bee Gees talk show

and just about anything Will Farrell did..

I'd forgotten that one, haven't seen it in many years. That was a great bit, he was as good at being Joe Cocker as Joe Cocker.

Nat X - The only fifteen minute show on television. Why fifteen minutes? Because the man wont give him sixteen!


Sean Connery / Jeopardy - I'll take "the penis mightier for 200, Alex" "Um, thats the PEN is mightier".

Kevin Nealon-great in the sack, subliminal message guy was funny

Although not my favorite, this one is pretty funny.

This thread needs more cowbell

Connery SNL Highlights - "I'll take 'Anal Bum Covers' for $200, Alex."
