Saturday Night Live has always been one of my favorite shows but ever since the final glory days of Will Ferrel, Molly Shannon, Cheri Oteri, Traci Morgan, etc. there hasn’t been a solid cast that could deliver week after week. SNL has been on the air for over three decades so I understand not every cast, sketch or season is going to have the right chemistry but I found myself saying “why is this funny?” and changing the channel. When I was in middle school and early highschool, my friends and I were too young and poor to go out so we’d all watch SNL together and these were the BEST years of SNL. This season, however, has slowly been bringing me back especially after this Saturday’s hilarious appearance by Betty White. THIS is the SNL I remember. This is the SNL that had me yelling “Oh my god” and spitting my drink out and almost peeing my pants. In honor of Ms. White and the sketch comedy show that probably helped keep me out of many shenanigans as a kid, I bring you my favorite SNL characters!
“My name is Craig, I did drugs once, I have team spirit, so check me out!”
“Sometimes when I get nervous I stick my fingers under my arms and then I smell them like this….SUPERSTAR!”
“Mr. Bojangles is really a girl! Mr. Bojangles is really a girl!”
“Suck it, Trebek!”
“You are a deliiiiight…scrumtrulescent”
So, there you have it. These are some of my favorite SNL characters but, of course, this is just the tip of the comedic iceberg. What cast members, sketches, characters, digital shorts are your favorites? Hit me up on Twitter or Facebook and let’s discuss before I get all v’klempt! We’ll talk about dogs, coffe and daughters…no big whoop.
