Favorite Sketch-Comedy Skits

[apsham]

I'm watching some tapes of MadTV and I just thought about how some classic characters or skits have come along through the good ol' sketch comedy shows. I personally have never watched much more than MadTV, but I can tell you that my favorite reoccuring skits from there have to be:

The Lillian Verner game show

Micheal McDonald's Stuart and Rusty

Will Sasso's Kenny Rogers

Stephinie Weir's Dot and.... that grad school girl who does the video projects.

There's probably some other I can't think of and will name later. Anyone got anything to add?

SNL's Jeopardy Skits. Farell-tastic!

MAD TV's Magic Johnson's Jeopardy Hour. "Now, Dick"

MAD TV's Steven Seagal skits. (Steven in China, Steven Seagal's Letterbox 2000, "Crouching Cops Hidden Badges") All played by Will Sasso (Y)

Celebrity Jeopardy "Anal Bum Cover"

The Mad Real World

Monty Python's Dead Parrot Sketch

[Commander Sheepard]

Some of my faves have already been mentioned, but I always like the "Land Shark" skit from the OLD SNL. Funny stuff.

[ADG]

The "Dead Parrot" sketch from Monty Python is without doubt the best of all time, followed closely by the "G'Day Bruce! Hello Bruce" sketch, also from MP. Behind that are pretty much all the recurring "Gonna no dae that!" sketches from Chewin' The Fat and behind those anything from Whose Line Is It Anyway?

[The Hardcore Canuck]

I'm Rick James Bitch! (Chapelle Show)

Any of the Celebrity Jepordy from SNL

The Debbie Downer sketch from SNL with Lindsey Lohan (it's only funny because everyone forgets their lines and laughs so hard throughout the entire thing)

[JStarr]

From SNL: John Belushi as Samurai Anything (although the Tailor one was a particular favorite, especially where it leaves off with the customer exclaiming, "Hey, this suit has no fly!")

From Monty Python: Haven't really seen the whole thing, but it's one where a guy walks into an office and the man behind the desk yells "You filthy, disgusting, malodorous pervert!" or something to that effect. First guy says, "Wot? I came in here for an argument!" Desk guy says, "Oh, terribly sorry, this is abuse. Arguments are down the hall."

[Animal]

Monthy Pyhton: The ministry of funny walks

Monthy Pyhton: Returning a dead parrot

Tommy Cooper: Karate expert

Cedric the Entertainer: Job interview with guy that gags alot.

That last one I just saw recently and it really cracked me up, had me laughing for a good ten minutes after it.

Will Ferrell as George W. Bush - SNL

Will Sasso as Kenny Rogers in any skit but especially Kenny Rogers' Jackass - MadTV

The Celebrity Jeopardy skits - SNL

Tons more were great, but those stand out at the moment.

[apsham]

I love the categorys in Celebrity Jeopardy:

Ponies

Months Ending In "ebuary"

Colours Ending In "urple"

Will This Hurt If You Put It In Your Mouth

Presidents On The 1$ Bill

Is This A Hat?

[Enter Blue Guy]

I'd say pretty much anything during the glory days when the Mad cast consisted of Phil LaMar, Pat Kilbane, Alex Borestein, Will Sasso, Aries Spears, Nicole Sullivan, Debra Wilson, Michael McDonald, and Mo Collins.

My favorite of all time though are

Kenny Roger's Jackass (the first one, the second one with Steve-o and Wee Man sucked)

Spatula Arm

Celebrity Whose Line Is It Anways (with Aries Spears as Magic Johnson and Mo Collins as Cher)

He Got Gay (spoof of the movie 'He Got Game')

Kenny Roger's Ice Cream Store

The claymation spoof of COPS with Paddington Bear, Pillsbury Dough Boy and Rock'em Sock'em Robots

Various 'Lower Expectations' skits

And the one with Seth Green as the crazy boss in the wheelchair....you know the one where you seem him and his wife speeding down the hall on the wheelchairs and everyone panics because they know they are coming....classic.

There are tons more, but these are the first ones that popped in my head.
