In no particular order:
Alec Baldwin and his Schwetty Balls.
Chris Farley's dance off with Patrick Swazye at a Chipendale's tryout.
The Bass-O-Matic from Ronco.
Michael Myers as the hyperactive kid who couldn't be fed chocolate and whoe was tied up to a jungle gym.
Shprokets. Particuarly the one where Woody Harrelson plays the dark East German film maker who becomes so happy because of the things he can buy when the berlin wall falls. Drinking beer from a hat. Eating McDonald's apple pies. And treating the whole thing with wonder. It was the one time Dieter told his guest he could not touch his monkey.
The gay pirates in denial. Manly men on a manly ship on a manly sea.
Please add your own favorites.
Easy, but from WAY back... The Salivation Army, wearing their drool buckets strapped around their heads...
Dan Aykroyd as Irwin Mainway, when he was selling classic kid's costumes like Invisible Pedestrian (http://snltranscripts.jt.org/77/77dconsumerprobe.phtml).
This for sure
Sarah Palin Rap! This is the best lol of the day! (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w2ZEf6bxbhM#ws)
Give me Mad TV any day over SNL...
The Real Ronald Reagan, as Portrayed by Phil Hartman (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=skQuhoG7fFM#)
More cow bell!
Eddie Murphy doing Mr Robinson's neighborhood.

Haven't watched SNL since Belushi died. Haven't missed a single thing.

Do you remember the gay pirate skit with Belushi? He was a manly man on a manly ship on a manly sea. ;D ;D ;D
Nope. All I recall was the Samurai delicatessen skits, the Bees, and of course Belushi's finest, most immortal moment --- standing side by side with Joe Cocker, singing "Get By With a Little Help From My Friends."
I just tried finding a clip of that, to spice up this post, blew it without missing a beat, but I hope others will share the humor in my nominating THIS as Barack Obama's 2012 campaign song. Listen to the lyrics. They're appropriate.

Do you remember Dan Akroyd and the "Bass-o-matic" from Ronco?
I remember reaching for the remote control, every time I saw Ackroyd's face.
The only good skit SNL produced were the evil muppet God and once that was gone, I quit watching.
The only reason people watched the show, was it had no competition at that late hour for young kids drinking.
Do people still watch that lib BS?
Give me Benny hill any day....
Ooohhhhh nnooooo. It's Mr Bill

OK, that was sick, and I liked it. :P
But like most of SNL, you had to be high to see humor in it...

I remember sitting through entire 90 min shows and never laughing once.
It was like MTV, just a soap box for leftist propaganda to wash the minds of the youth, it didn't have to be good, it didn't have any competition.
I remember watching Steve Martin doing a skit and a bunch of people in the audience were laughing, but at the wrong moments, seeing how they weren't being shown the cue to applaud, their timing was way off.
He stopped and looked out across the audience perplexed, then disgusted.
They were all tripping on shrooms, everything was funny to them, even when he showed them he was disappointed in them, they laughed at that.
Like most people, to get the most out of a bad show, you had to be on drugs.
The surprising part about SNL was how many of its talent-free ensemble were later picked up for movie roles. Watching those "Fletch" films with Chevy Chase (or Ackroyd in absolutely anything) may have damaged me for life.

Just goes to show, blow the right producer and you too, can be an actor.

Careful with those pronouns, Bubeleh. :)) Actually, back then (Belushi himself being the best example, and Charlie Sheen the newest version), it was more like who was single-handedly able to empty a punch-bowl of Peruvian Nose Caulk.
Steve Martin has just won another award for his banjo artistry. Him I can forgive, even after ruining Dirty Rotten Scoundrels.
Christopher Walken saying "more cowbells!!!"
