Recurring SNL skits that were funny every single time

Most game show sketches are terrible, but the following are almost always funny:

Secret Word (always with Mindy Gracen)

Black Jeopardy

Celebrity Jeopardy

Lisa Lupner and Todd.

Some of the commercial spoofs.

Bass-o-matic

The change bank

None of them.

Most of the funny skits were on the early shows. It hasn't been funny in years.

Those weren't recurring sketches.

Fred Garvin - Male Prostitute (Dan Aykroyd).

The Sweeney Sisters!

One they did only twice, but that was hilarious both times, was Paul Brittain's hilarious Lord Wyndemere, where he was the child-like 48 year old British Lord Wyndemere (dressed like Gainsborough's Blue Boy), whose girlfriend's father (a regular suburban dad) just adored him.

James Brown's Hot Tub

Fernando's Hideaway

Debbie Downer

Melanie Hutsell played a conceited lady character who was convinced that everyone was hitting on her. It was pretty funny. She made a bartender empty her drink and pour a new one. When asked why, she deadpanned “Spanish Fly?”.

Also the “Leg Up” program with characters playing Ann Miller and Debbie Reynolds as dirty old broads was fun, too. I think these were Molly Shannon and Cheri Oteri, who also played an old Italian women whose signature expression was “See this? Mine now!” When kids’ toys appeared in her yard or on her porch.

Hmmm...could it be...SATAN?

Anything with Velvet Jones

Buckwheat

Master Thespian

The Matt Foley sketches

"The View" with Cheri Oteri's Barbara Walters

We’re not pornstars anymore...

Old French Whore, the game show that paired French prostitutes with college kids.

Jorge and Yortuk Festrunk, the swinging Czechoslovakian brothers

And Uncle Roy, which would never make it on tv, late night or otherwise, today

The Louds

Just my opinion, but some of those early SNL recurring skits do not hold up well. I'm embarrassed I ever thought they were funny. Maybe in the future, I'll hate it, but I like the "What's Up with That" talk show with Kenan Thompson as the host and "Lindsay Buckingham" as the recurring guest.

Matt Foley, Motivational Speaker

Happy Halloween!

Sprockets

"Deep Thoughts" by Jack Handey

and the Ambiguously Gay Duo.

R26- "Dad always thought laughter was the best medicine, which I guess is why several of us died of tuberculosis. "

"I can picture in my mind a world without war, a world without hate. And I can picture us attacking that world, because they’d never expect it."

" Before you criticize someone, you should walk a mile in their shoes. That way, when you criticize them, you’re a mile away and you have their shoes."

They've rehashed this skit several times, and I've enjoyed it each time.

McLaughlin Group

I was just coming to post The McLaughlin Group!! WRONG!!

Roseanne Roseannadanna was always funny, too.

The song (of Bernadette?): "When You're Making Love Alone"

I’m dating myself, but Dana Carvey’s Ross Perot was great.

You look mahvelous

Church lady

Stuart Smalley was always good for a laugh.

To think, they made an entire movie based on THIS characte?? However, I do remember laughing out loud at least once:

Stuart was an adult male living back at home and speaking on the phone with - maybe a patient?

He was advising them (possibly bragging to them) that all one had to do to ensure effective interpersonal relationships was to set firm boundaries, but before he could even finish his thought, his mother picked up the extension downstairs and immediately started dialing right over him: beep boo-boop beep boop boop beep.

Roseanne Roseannadanna

Emily Litella

Rhonda Weiss

Sprockits

Church Lady

Stefon (mostly to see when Hader would lose it)

Celebrity Jeopardy

Black Jeopardy

A lot of favorites already listed. I named my cat Toonces, so I'm going to go with that.

Haunted Elevator (ft. David S. Pumpkins)

It's not recurring but if you watch it several times it gets funnier.

[quote] It's not recurring

It actually was--they did a second one, and then an animated movie about it.

The anal retentive chef.

This Celebrity Jeopardy was one of the funniest skits they ever did (post-original cast)

Le Tits Now

And it would help if I gave you the link lol

Agree with R25....Sprockets. Mostly crap now.

"Secret Word" made me laugh every single time Kristen Wiig's Mindy Gracen said the secret word (breaking the rules of the game) because she just couldn't help herself.

Girlfriends Talk Show

Celebrity Jeopardy, the topless Martha Stewart Christmas commercial, dick in a box, mom jeans

SNL Digital Shorts by The Lonely Island
