let's see
it's like any other high school hey
everyone i'm rebecca and welcome to
watch mojo
today we're counting down our picks for
the top 10 most underrated snl sketches
randy the ranster
only one copy for the rand man it's hard
to imagine that these actors are from
oslo and have never once been to america
you don't take people's potato chips
for this list we're looking at skits
from saturday night live that don't
always get the love they deserve
so what snl sketch do you think is
highly underappreciated
be sure to let us know in the comments
all right let's check it out
number 10 don't you go round and round a
rero do you really feel that you're
rehabilitated mr donovan
yeah that's right while snl has produced
some top-rate movie trailer parodies the
one that satirized the gritty british
gangster movie genre has somehow
remained an
underappreciated gem host russell brand
joins bill hader and fred armisen
in a trailer that mocks the impenetrable
east london cockney accents often
associated with these movies
[Music]
although there's plenty of action to
follow the dialogue is nearly
impossible to understand it's anyone's
guess as to what the movie's plot
entails however
it's still one of the best and funniest
spoof trailers in the snl archives
we would totally be tempted to see this
movie if we
actually knew what it was about don't go
round round me row
9. norwegian actors playhouse a sketch
featuring americans and one canadian
playing
norwegians who are playing americans
what's not to love
it's such a simple premise and yet its
execution is so
perfect don't make me cross
i haven't drank my coffee from the donut
store yeah
the norwegian actors play house acts out
the world's most generic
cop drama using broadly american accents
and stereotypical culture references
bill hader's own hard to place british
accent only makes his championing of
this sketch even funnier
hard to imagine that these actors are
from oslo and have never once been to
america
everything in this piece from their
language to their donut shop coffee is
hilariously exaggerated
and everyone involved plays their part
seamlessly
if you ask us it is criminal this sketch
is so underrated well that is great man
let's all go to jim's bar and have a
beer oh slap me five
slap everything five
number eight the adventures of peter
o'toole and michael kane
have you ever wondered what it would be
like if british legends peter o'toole
and michael kane drunkenly hosted a talk
show in a taco bell
pizza hut express well wonder no more we
would now like
to pause for a word from our sponsor
the pair of actors played by jude law
and seth meyers
stumble into the fast food restaurant
wearing tuxedos and holding martinis
they quickly come to the obvious
conclusion that this must be their talk
show
hello i'm michael caine and i'm peter
o'toole and you're watching
an evening with peter and michael please
enjoy
a combined 200 years of acting
excellence
since they are completely oblivious to
their surroundings their interactions
with everyone around them are hysterical
was wolverhampton rep the year was 1973
i played iago and you were marvelous
look crazy dudes i just want to eat my
chicken sauce taco a piece
you've told me what you want but now
make me
believe it leave me alone as they
finally wander off in different
directions
we can't help but laugh while wondering
why this sketch isn't more widely
celebrated
number seven the date in a weird spin on
hollywood dating scenes
the stunning megan fox is completely
besotted with an extremely weird man
played by will forte
you have a really nice smile your teeth
are like
perfect i'm gonna tell my dentist that
you said that
speaking in a strained voice that
constantly sounds like he's on the verge
of tears
forte talks about his job as a swat team
commander i was supposed to be in a drug
bust
and i bailed on it oh my god
are you gonna get in trouble i don't
care he also details his side hustle
which
involves raising lambs before taking
their lives and selling them as meat
it must be really hard for you it's
really hard
i love my lamps i love them
so much and while she thinks the date is
going well
he's actually not that invested in her
there's no denying that this is one of
snl's more bizarre skits
however the pair plays off each other so
well that their sketch deserves more
recognition
number 6. woodridge high josh brolin's
stint on snl was so great that one of
his skits was naturally bound to go
under the radar
we had to highlight the sketch that
hilariously mocks the trope of using
slow motion to make someone look cool
wow what's their deal this gap of the
football team she's at cheerleading
together they're pretty much the coolest
couple in school
no i mean why are they walking like that
oh yeah that's the hallway where
everything's in slow motion
when a new student arrives at woodridge
high she learns about a magical and or
cursed hallway that makes people move
incredibly slowly
let's see like any other high school
this happens to anyone who walks through
regardless of how cool or uncool they
might be brolin plays a science teacher
who is determined to prove it can be
explained by science
you don't feel like you're in slow
motion but you do feel cooler
which means that i'm this close to
finally understanding what's behind this
phenomenon
however something tells us he might want
to pursue the possibility of a curse
instead
number five potato chip at snl
the final sketch of the night is known
as the ten to one slot
it's often reserved for the weirdest
skit the writers came up with that week
so i'm gonna go into the other room and
i'm gonna expect you to not touch any of
those potato chips
your potato chips are safe in my
presence
in one season 35 episode we see a heated
fight breakout during a job interview at
nasa
their conflict begins when an
interviewee played by jason sedakis
helps himself to a potato chip enraging
his interviewer played by will forte
the nasa employee grills the potential
candidate until the truth disgustingly
comes out be a man
for the first time in your life and
admit you took that potato chip
you liar
[Music]
seth meyers who was head writer at the
time had a great way to sum up this
delightfully odd skit
he said quote we always say sometimes
you write sketches that
to five people in america it will always
be their favorite
snl sketch you don't take people's
potato chips
they don't take people's potato chips
number four it's a wonderful life the
lost ending
the upbeat conclusion of it's a
wonderful life made the movie worthy of
its title
however snl's so-called lost ending
makes things a little bit
less wonderful for mr potter you might
recall that mr potter never sees his
comeuppance in this classic christmas
flick
i just called clarence at the bank he
told me
that old man potter deposited exactly
eight thousand dollars right after i
left it was him but
this sketch takes care of that when the
happy crowd from the movie becomes an
angry mob
are you saying where you are george
bailey you're in enough trouble already
you made one mistake mr potter your
double crossed me and you left me alive
while dana carvey's george beats the
stuffing out of the old man
the crowd keeps things festive by
joyously singing in the background
[Applause]
yeah this isn't really what comes to
mind when you think of the words
christmas spirit but you gotta love it
anyway
number three the rich meister skits
randy
the ranster only one copy for the rand
man
this might just be rob schneider's most
memorable character from his tenure on
the show
the rich meister or as you'd probably
remember him better the
making cap is guy is an obnoxious
attention seeker who needlessly hands
out nicknames to
everyone and never fails to annoy his
co-workers
the character was arguably schneider's
breakout snl role
thanks for coming no problem all right
xerox repairman
the guy who checks the toner the toner
checker man
hey i'm trying to work here all right
tony karinsky
the guy who took a swing at me and it
all
actually began as a joke between him and
adam sandler while the character might
have been more appreciated when he
debuted
his sketches have fallen out of the
limelight over the years it's a real
shame because it's one of rob
schneider's truly great roles
sting mr stinglehoffer
making copies the mcstinkster
number two liza minnelli tries to turn
off a lamp
we'd like to believe that life is always
a cabaret for liza minnelli
and we are clearly not alone the premise
of this sketch is
exactly what the title suggests and it
is utterly
brilliant is there a little knob on here
that you turn
and everything goes black as liza
minnelli played by kristen wiig
prepares to catch the opening night of
cats on broadway she tries and
repeatedly
fails to turn off a lamp wig's over the
top impression and outrageous physical
comedy bring a lot of pizzazz to a
simple task
is that a foot chopper once
twice three
[Music]
well a farsi neck done
the sheer insanity that comes with
turning off a lamp makes the sketch an
underrated must-see if you like broadway
liza minnelli and kristen wiig we
guarantee
this will be your new favorite snl
sketch i did it
good job liza baby good job
so just throwing this out there but you
can blame me for the norwegian actors
playhouse sketch being on here because
i love that sketch and quote it all the
time but i feel like nobody ever
remembers it
my favorite team is playing the world
series anyway uh our number one
includes one of my all-time favorite snl
hosts so
let's look through some honorable
mentions and then we will name our top
most underrated snl sketch the cobras
if only all gangs turn to a life of song
and
it you're a dance boy jingleheimer
junction
it's kidstv what could possibly go wrong
run around till someone says freeze
[Music]
the actress talk about dedication to the
art
jared what are you doing now with my
godson
i saw the rich and beautiful backstory
of this woman
her childhood her first job the night
she met jared
family dinner shrek we guess some people
don't like the ogre
yeah i don't know i guess i just always
found the whole ogre thing a little
off-putting
no justin you're wrong you're wrong and
you're a stupid person
bar fight well it's not eye of the tiger
but it's a catchy fight song
come on what you waiting for it just
don't feel right
fighting to this sucking on a lollipop
song
i know you feel it too yeah i do before

number one closet organizer bar
introducing the new zipco
closet organizer great for shoes
sweaters
belts hats parkas jeans
underwear ham and bubbly might be an
unsung
masterpiece but the genius closet
organizer guy from the same episode
is even more underappreciated we first
see the character in a classic snl spoof
commercial
pillows tires important papers glassware
in a priceless twist we meet him once
again when he goes out for a drink later
that night
the seamless setup for the bar skit is
so brilliantly executed
and we love the excellent yet unexpected
link between the sketches
so no seriously how do i know you wait a
second
you're the freaking closet organizer guy
aren't you
oh my god that's you right it's not
often we get an snl crossover in this
style
but when we do we believe it deserves a
lot more appreciation
speaking of underrated jon hamm snl
sketches i like jon hamm's
jon hem where he's like in a bathroom
with a toilet paper roll full of meat
anyway what snl sketches don't get the
love they deserve
