FunnySNLVideos.comThe best Saturday Night Live videos

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:

I know it’s a bit in violation of the rules of this site (“Only the Funny SNL skits!”) but I had to comment on this mildly funny Norwegian playhouse skit simply because it reminded me of one of my favorite “it’s funny because they speak another language” skits. While the Norwegian Cop Show skit has it’s moments, thanks mostly to Fred Armisen’s hilarious accent (“I’m getting very cross with youuuuu”), the “La Policia” skit hits a homerun with the grade level Spanish that most kids learn in elementary school and then run home to use in hopes of sounding impressive.

“La Bomba esta en la Biblioteca” indeed

La Policia

Kristen Wiig continues to be one of the best on SNL mostly because she doesn’t stare at cue cards all night but also because she doesn’t latch onto one character idea and beat it into the ground. “Gilly” was a fresh idea that didn’t make me laugh much at first but after repeat viewings, is starting to grow on me….”Sorry”
And that new guy (Bobby Moynihan) is such a dead ringer for a young Artie Lange. I’m just gonna pretend he is so maybe I’ll laugh more.

Oh and Will Forte is brilliant. That is all.
