Awesome Snl

When The Fresh Prince bailed from West Philly for the West coast, it turns out that things didn’t quite go the way that his auntie planned. A darkly comic parody of the 1990s TV classic, courtesy of Chris Redd, Jessica Chastain, and Saturday Night Live.

Back in 1986, magicians Penn and Teller turned up on an episode of Saturday Night Live and pulled off an a series of tricks which poked fun at other well known magicians, and culminated with a big surprise at the end.

Theory11 presents a unique deck of cards inspired by classic moments from Saturday Night Live. The deck features an art deco style closely associated with NBC’s Studio 8H and Rockefeller Center. We love that they included Brian Fellow’s Safari Planet.

Pete Davidson finds himself pulled into the fantasy world of his RPG, where the characters believe he is their one true savior. Unfortunately, all they really got was totally useless dudebro Chad instead. Okay.

“They not brown, but they not NOT brown.” Saturday Night Live’s fake commercial for the most ridiculous jeans ever teaches us that refusing to be labeled and put into a box is sometimes a bad thing – at least when it comes to fashion.

Ryan Gosling stars in a hilarious sketch that will be most appreciated by graphic designers, as he portrays a man who just can’t seem to get over the fact that James Cameron’s blockbuster Avatar used the Papyrus font for its subtitles and logo.

To celebrate his millionth YouTube subscriber, Andrew Rea of Binging with Babish decided to give a tour of his kitchen, then replicated an SNL fan favorite, the 15-layer Taco Town taco we were first introduced to back in 2005. The cook starts at 5:21. Guacamolito sauce ftw!

Saturday Night Live presents a special version of Amazon’s voice-based assistant, which is designed specifically to help out older folks who are slightly less tech savvy than their typical customer.

While we don’t normally think of Saturday Night Live for its visual effects, the show actually requires quite a few of them these days. Take a look at some of the work their VFX artists must deliver under the gun each week, often with less than 12 hours before airtime.

“The people act like they’ve never seen a restaurant… or eaten food before.” SNL pokes fun at the over-the-top expressions seen on the faces of happy customers in commercials for family restaurant chains, as a group of actors are given direction for their reaction shots.

An old man sees a young punk bragging in the park, and decides to teach him a lesson by challenging him to a game of chess. But Pete Davidson’s character isn’t about to fall victim to the clichéd scene set up by Kenan Thompson.

In one of a handful of non-political sketches from his latest SNL appearance, Alec Baldwin plays a drill sergeant who has a son among his group of recruits. Naturally, he shows his boy no favoritism. Also, a cookie chillout sounds like our kind of party.

Saturday Night Live takes on the overly fake and hackneyed customers typically found in commercials, and gives us a much more realistic view of a typical customer at your neighborhood donut shop, courtesy of Casey Affleck.

Saturday Night Live put together a reel of some of its silliest and most memorable spooky sketches, from Laraine Newman and Richard Pryor’s classic Exorcist bit, to Bill Hader’s hilarious Vincent Price. We’re betting David S. Pumpkins will make the list next year.

Margot Robbie completely blows up an old stereotype with this hilariously weird take on the overplayed 1980s cliche of the librarian who becomes a sex kitten when she lets her hair down. Though Margot is still hot no matter what she does.

Directors Matt and Oz’s hilariously warped SNL digital short from a couple of years back starts out as an uplifting rendition The Five Stairsteps’ 1970 classic, but quickly turns into an episode of The Sopranos.

A group of prep school students is upset that their school has fired their beloved teacher, Mr. Bunting (Fred Armisen), so they’re going to stand up for what they believe in. We won’t give away the punchline, but the payoff is well worth the lengthy setup. Well played, SNL.

After being abducted by aliens, Kate McKinnon’s hilariously uncouth Ms. Rafferty shares another of her out of body experiences, which is decidedly less awe-inspiring than what her friends encountered after heading towards the light after a car wreck.

Saturday Night Live guest host Julia Louis-Dreyfus pokes fun at electric cars with a hilarious mock commercial for Mercedes-Benz’ new green luxury vehicle – an amazing new car which runs on battery power, yet needs no charging stations or power outlets.

A couple of dudes get hired by one of those kids’ pizza party joints, a job that most of us would put towards the bottom of the list of desirable workplaces, but these guys just can’t seem to contain their enthusiasm for their awesome new careers.

A group of mobsters meet up to discuss a very serious issue, but nobody can seem to concentrate on the business at hand, thanks to the performer up on stage. Peter Dinklage seems to have borrowed his wig from Sia, and his song from DEVO in this silly SNL sketch.

Three shipwrecked sailors are saved by mermaids, who say they will be able to shed their tails and grow legs if they each find a man who will kiss them. Kristen Wiig’s Dooneese is legendary, but Kate McKinnon’s Shud is no slouch.

Saturday Night Live rehashes its Pandora skit but with guest host Ariana Grande doing the impressions. Watch as she shows off her take on Shakira, Rihanna, Whitney Houston and more. Durr durr durr durr!
