The Saturday Sketch: "Family Flix"

What are you talking about, I post Saturday Sketches every Saturday. Houston, we have a dog, and possibly...the funniest comedy sketch...of all time.

The Saturday Sketch: "The Joe Pesci Show"

Another sketch from when Jim Carrey hosted Saturday Night Live, featuring Mark McKinney as...Jim Carrey? Buh-buh-guh-whaaaaa?!?


And it just might be...the funniest comedy sketch...of all time.

Maybe.

The Saturday Sketch: "Change for a Dollar"

Here's a sketch with a title that still gets a lot of play in my father's house. Ask that man for money, and you are likely to hear, "Change...for a dollar? Cch, Tch, Tch, Tkok,tkok..." Is that how you spell that? Anyway, here's Mr. Show's "Change for a Dollar":


Funny, yes. But the funniest sketch of all time? Maybe!

The Saturday Sketch: "Poland Spring Water"

Expanding a little on the tardiness of Ultimate Wolverine vs. Hulk, the whole thing is really a matter of the book at first being so late it's funny, and then so late it's infuriating, and then so late it comes around to being funny again. In some ways, it's kind of like today's sketch, Dane Cook and Will Forte in Saturday Night Live's "Poland Spring Water":


Just make sure you stop it after the water sketch is over, because what comes next is kind of rough.

The Saturday Sketch: "The H is O"

Before Akiva and the rest of The Lonely Island transcended awesomeness with their digital shorts, other folks at Saturday Night Live also tried their hand at such, including Adam McKay, as seen in this following sketch (suggested by April):


I mean, McKay did do Ricky Bobby. That's tight.

The Saturday Sketch: "Girl Drink Drunk"

Tanner say "Girl Drink Drunk," so here it is:


A True Kids in the Hall contender for "funniest comedy sketch of all time." Especially since so much of it rings so true to life.

The Saturday Sketch: "Jimmy Tango's Fat Busters"

This week's sketch is by request of Nick, who wanted something with Jim Carrey in it. Not specifically this, but go ahead and RIDE THE SNAKE:


That was, of course, from the episode of Saturday Night Live that Carrey hosted. I like Nancy Walls in that sketch, playing the woman who talks about making out with Scott Baio. In real life, she married Steve Carrell, which is a step or two or 100 up. Interestingly enough, SNL just last week went back to the well of "satirical program about losing weight" with host Steve Carrell as Charlie Flitt. Unfortunately, that sketch didn't have Nancy in it, although she did make an appearance during the monologue. And that concludes today's trivial trivia.

The Saturday Sketch: "GloboChem"

Today's sketch is from Mr. Show's first season, and this little motherfucker's tasty:


Could it be the eventual winner of the title "funniest comedy sketch of all time(s)"? This motherfucker dragged me down here, I don't know.

The Saturday Sketch: "Celebrity Jeopardy "

This week's sketch is a "Celebrity Jeopardy" parody from Saturday Night Live, featuring Ben Stiller as Tom Cruise and Jimmy Fallon as Adam Sandler, with Will Ferrell as Alex Trebek and Darrell Hammond as Sean Connery. This sketch is funny even without the video: my first exposure to it was as an Mp3 in high school, and I listened to it hundreds of times (on minidisc!) before I ever saw the actual sketch on TV. But judge for yourself, by clicking play and closing your eyes:


SNL's "Celebrity Jeopardy" sketches are always good times, but I think this one is my favorite. Another really good one, though, is the one with Norm Macdonald as Burt Reynolds, Darrell Hammond as John Travolta, and Matthew Perry as Michael Keaton. Michael Keaton is probably the funniest person to imitate on the planet. Watch him on screen, he does not care what anyone else is doing, he is just going to be INTENSE and FURROW HIS BROW. And in the sketch, Macdonald put on a giant cowboy hat and made everyone refer to him as "Turd Ferguson." I probably like that sketch so much because we performed it in high school as a one-act play. I was Turd Ferguson.
