When SNL was Something Not Lame

Saturday Night Live used to be cool. Heck, it even used to funny. Now-a-days the only laughable creations that come out are a few cameo appearances from J. Timbs featuring the only talent on the show, Andy Samberg. I’m going to take you back to the days when Kevin Nealon gave us the fake news via Weekend Update and not some giggling schoolgirl like Jimmy Fallon.
“If the election were held today, most people say they would be really confused because it’s usually held in November” -Kevin Nealon, Weekend Update

Let’s go ahead and just list some of the still-quoted clips that SNL used to have…I’ll throw another jab at NBC for making the compiling of this list extremely difficult by pulling down nearly all great SNL clips from Youtube and the other tubes. Did they have to make room for “Howie Do It’ episodes or what?

- More Cowbell
- To Bill Brasky (who has a blog dedicated to him)
- Da Bears
- Turd Ferguson
- In a van down by the river
- Harry Caray –> “If you were a hotdog, and you were starving…would you eat yourself?”
Back to my point…where Will Ferrell already has 2, you’ll never see “The Best of Keenan Thompson” out in the DVD free-for-all bin at Wal-mart. Let’s take a little test:
Keenan Thompson is to dressing like a woman as
a. Jimmy Fallon is to giggling like a school girl
b. The current cast leaving early is to launching a shitty movie career
c. Darrell Hammond is to my grandpa
d. All of the above
I know I left some of the great clips out. Let’s hear about them in the comments. Have a case for the past 3 years of crap? We’ll listen to that, too…that is if it makes through the SPAM filter.

SNL was lame by the time Ferrell got there. He was funny, but he wasn’t so funny he made it un-lame.
little known fact, the first version of the “When SNL was Something Not Lame” chain letter was posted in 1981.

They’ll never top those first five years, when theywere still dangerous.
