Angry Thanksgiving sketch was better the first time around. When Will Ferrell “Drove a Dodge Stratus!”

So, I’m breaking with the site rule of “only the funny” videos from SNL and had to post about the “Angry Thanksgiving” sketch. This thing was horrid. I mean, it’s so bad, I can’t even find a clip of it online. Really. Google it. Go ahead, I’ll wait…..See! Nothing!
Here’s a quick description:
Angry Thanksgiving Dinner
Five of the cast members sit at Thanksgiving dinner and seem incredibly mad and frustrated by one another. Everytime it dissolves into anarchy Judith (Kristen Wiig) stands up and throws her napkin around and her family yells, “Sit down Judith! Sit down!” It ends with them finding peace singing Wilson Phillips “Hold On” together before falling into disagreement once again.
So yah, not funny at all. However, it DID remind me of one of the best Will Ferrell lines in a sketch. It’s not one of his most famous characters or even a well known catchphrase (i.e. “The perfect cheer!”) but it is incredibly enjoyable none-the-less. During a family dinner, that many of us have probably had, the whole clan is yelling when Ferrell trumps everyone with the phrase “I Drive a Dodge Stratus!!!”
It’s hilariously odd and completely relatable all at once. Check it out:
