Funniest SNL Skit Ever...

[The Flame {of Compton}]

This has got to be not only the funniest SNL skit I've ever seen, this has got to be one of the funniest comedy skits PERIOD... CELEBRITY JEOPARDY with Will Ferrel as Alex Trebek, Darrell Hammond as Sean Connery, Norm McDonald as Burt Renyolds, and Jimmy Fallon as French Stewart... I was cryin laffin when I read this...

Opening Sequence

Alex Trebek : Welcome back to Celebrity Jeopardy. Before we begin the Double Jeopardy round, I'd like to ask our contestants once again: please refrain from using ethnic slurs. That said, let's take a look at the scores. Sean Connery has set a new Jeopardy record with negative $230,000.

Sean Connery : You think you're pretty smart, don't you, Trebek, what with your Dago moustache and your greasy hair.

Alex : Look, what did I just say about ethnic slurs? ... From Third Rock from the Sun , French Stewart in second place with negative $17,000.

French Stewart : I'm a late bloomer, Alex, and in Double Jeopardy I'm gonna bloom.

Alex : Sure you will. And finally, back again, Burt Reynolds in a commanding lead with $14.

Burt Reynolds : Hey, uh, check out the podium. (gestures downward) Look at this.

Alex : Mr. Reynolds has apparently changed his name to Turd Ferguson.

Burt : Yeah, that's right. Turd Ferguson. It's a funny name.

Alex : Great. Let's take a look at the final board. The categories are: Potent Potables, Sharp Things, Movies that Start with the Word Jaws, A Petit DeJeuner - that category is about French phrases, so let's just skip it---

Burt : Hey, uh, I speak a little French. You're an assbite, pardon my French. (laughs)

French : My name's French!

Burt : Yeah, well who gives a damn?

Alex : Moving on. ... Animal Sounds, Condiments, and finally Your Ass or a Hole in the Ground . Mr. Reynolds, unfortunately you're in the lead, so let's start with you.

Burt : Yeah, I'll take the condom thing for 8000.

Alex : That's Condiments . For 400. This condiment is made from mustard seeds.

(French buzzes in)

Alex : French Stewart?

French : The answer of course is onions. I'll take condiments for 800, please.

Alex : That's not the right answer.

(Burt buzzes in)

Alex : Burt Reynolds?

Burt : That's not my name.

(Alex sighs, exasperated)

Alex : Okay, Turd Ferguson.

Burt : Heh, heh. What do you want?

Alex : You buzzed in.

Burt : No I didn't.

Alex : Yes you did.

Burt : Yeah, well that's your opinion.

Alex : I hate my job. The answer was: mustard. Mustard is made from mustard seeds. Mr. Reynolds, it's still your board.

Burt : Yeah, well, uh, why don't you give me, uh, why don't you give me Ape Tit for 200. (Transcriber note: this is the part where I spilled my drink all over myself.)

Alex : It's not ape tit. It's A petite - nevermind, let's just go to Animal Sounds for 600. ... This is the sound a doggy makes.

(Sean buzzes in)

Alex : Mr. Connery?

Sean : Moo.

Alex : No.

Sean : Well that's the sound your mother made last night.

Alex : Okay, that's not necessary.

(Burt buzzes in)

Alex : Burt Reynolds?

Burt : Who is, um, Scooby Doo?

Alex : No.

Burt : That was a funny dog, Scooby Doo. He drove around in a van and solved mysteries.

Alex : That's incorrect.

Burt : Nah, that's correct. I remember, he had a pal, uh, Scrappy Doo.

Alex : No.

(French buzzes in)

Alex : French Stewart? The sound a dog makes?

French : Um, who is John Caffey and the Beaver Brown Band, thank you very much, I'll take animal sounds for 800.

Alex : (exasperated) No! Good Lord! ... We would have accepted "bow wow" or "ruff."

Sean : Oh, rough. Just how your mother likes it, Trebek.

Alex : Come on, that is way out of line--

(Burt appears at Alex's podium, laughing, with a big floppy styrofoam cowboy hat on)

Alex : Mr. Reynolds, what are you doing?

Burt : Yeah, I found this backstage. Oversized hat. Funny. Seriously, it's funny 'cause it's bigger than a normal hat, see?

Alex : Yeah, I see that. Get back to your podium.

Burt : (laughing) Take a look at that.

Alex : Yeah, I see it. Go back to your podium. It's not funny.

(Burt walks back to his podium)

Alex : (to no one in particular) What's going on? ... Okay, let's move on to Final Jeopardy. And the category is: (tears up card) you know what? I tell you what, just write a number. Any number. Any number and you win.

(Music plays, contestants begin to write)

Alex : We'll accept any number, any number at all. A one, or a two, or a three, or how about a four? It's that simple. I know you can do this.
(Music ends)

Alex : Let's start with French Stewart, who is grinning like an idiot. Look pretty sure of yourself. Think you've got the right answer?

French : Yes, I'm pretty sure of it, Alex.

Alex : Well all you had to do was write down a number. And you wrote... "threeve." A combination of three and five. Simply stunning. And you wagered... Texas with a dollar sign in front of it. I'm speechless.

French : No I did not get the answers from someone else, it all came from Mr. Stewart's noggin up here. (taps head)

Alex : That's beautiful. Mr. Reynolds?

Burt : Don't bother, I didn't write anything.

Alex : Good work. Finally, Mr. Connery. The category was numbers. And you wrote... the letter "V." Well, my friend, V is a Roman numeral. So despite your best efforts, you answered correctly. Let's see what you wagered.... Suck it Trebek.

(Sean breaks into fits of laughter)

Alex : Well that's all the time we have. Good night--

(Burt puts the cowboy hat on Alex's head)

Alex : (aggressively) Get it offa me!

I was close to buying The Best Of Will Ferral the other day. But I decided not right now, maybe sometime in the future.

But that is indeed one of the best SNL skits. I enjoyed the one with Chris Walken "MORE COWBELL" and the "Continential" and the one with Will and Chris bobbing their heads to "What Is Love" by Haddaway, damn . . .I could just keep going and going, because there are a sh#t load of great sketches.

But now days. ..SNL has no one on the show that interests me.

I enjoy the Robert Smigel stuff on there. One time they had a bit with Hortaio and Steve Bushemi and they were running a Food Pawn Shop, were people could pawn food in for cash. It was f*cking hilarious. Another one was Will Ferrel dressed like a German guy, and he had a baby in stroller next to him and a huge submarine was behind him. And the baby was playing a potato chip bag, and Will Ferrel kept telling him to look and that is just a lame greasy potato chip bag. Sounds stupid, but Smigel's work is hilarious. . .

note: Smigel does the Ambigiously Gay Duo, and Triump The Comic Insult dog.

Yes, I know this is an old post, but I'm doing it anyway. I have two that are my favorite. One is when Justin Timberlake sings to this fake Kermit the Frog, and he gets into a fight with it. It's funny as hell. Best line by Kermit, "Hey, maybe you, me and P. Diddy should make a song." That was funny, and then when the guy with the puppet called Justin a douche bag, just great.

The other one, Buckwheat Sings. Just some funny sh#t from Eddie Murphy. Buckwheat rules. He would just kick all of your favorite characters ass right now.
