brian let's meet your second wife
welcome to watch mojo and today we're
counting down our picks for the top 10
darkest snl sketches hey louis can i see
you in my office for a sec please
oh that's the most hideous thing i've
ever heard in my entire life
your question is
what have you become for this list we're
ranking the times snl went
all in with the controversial content
what do you think is the darkest snl
sketch let us know in the comments
number 10. enhancement drug snl is no
stranger to parodying prescription drug
commercials
and dwayne the rock johnson can pretty
much sell anything so
this sketch sounds like a home run right
so i tried it and it worked
this enhancement drug sketch starts off
like any normal ad involving erectile
dysfunction
but quickly spirals into a bevy of
extreme side effects
hallucinations coma trouble swallowing
decrease in semen increase in semen
including johnson spouting off a random
he'll say near the end
what's even darker though is how the
sketch comments on the opioid epidemic
so i grabbed him a little and he goes
you're hurting me sir
centrex works zentrax isn't as dark as
some of the other sketches on this list
but the implications are definitely
there for sure
number nine the tizzle wizzle show the
next entry on our list is short but not
so sweet
hey tizzle wizzles the tizzle
wizzle show is a take on your average
everyday colorful kids show
only with a few glaring exceptions nice
knives all types of knives
everybody pick out your favorite knives
for starters there's knife play
unknown the pills take hold of your mind
and flesh
you're brave and strong you don't fear
death
and a fight to the death in the dark it
all starts innocently enough with a
jammy dance
but things get dark real quick with only
guest host james franco left standing
after the tizzle wizzle show goes
horribly awry
it's the sort of black humor that
permeates a lot of snl digital shorts
with this one being absolutely no
exception
number eight canteen boy okay so this
sketch was always in questionable taste
but it's even more problematic given the
boy scouts of america's current state
canteen boy come over here hang on a sec
pal
fellas i got a bit of a situation over
here adam sandler's canteen boy
character was a lovably
dim but good-hearted assistant
scoutmaster whose adventures take an
incredibly dark turn alongside guest
host alec baldwin
you know it seems like the moment you
get out of the city
all your problems just sort of fade away
the scene is played for laughs but
there's nothing funny about the implied
situation in which canteen boy finds
himself
as baldwin's supervisor pushed the
boundaries of propriety beyond the pale
yeah uh right i'll take a rain check on
that mr armstrong
to be fair baldwin and sandler are keen
to make sure the jokes fly
quickly enough to lessen the sketches
blow but man this is still something
else
there you go no more bugs
number seven shark tank sometimes an
audience's initial reaction tells you
all you need to know about where a
sketch is going
i am ibrahim al-baghdadi and i am
abdulrah kim
towards the beginning of this shark tank
parody an audible gasp can be heard from
the studio
as the sharks bear witness to a group of
religious militants
our resources are spread too thin and we
need your expertise to help manage our
growth
oh and there's also plenty of awkward
silences
as the audience can't decide if they
should laugh at this wildly dark and
controversial material
so who's ready to invest in crushing
the west even years later we're not
entirely sure if this is funny or if it
was a bad idea right from the start
for that reason i'm out number six
rosetta stone
the rosetta stone sketch implies so much
reprehensible behavior within its scant
two minute run time that we can barely
believe it's even real
rosetta stone is the gold standard in
language training
it's fast easy and it's your key to
opening doors to new experiences
the sketch is actually a dead-on spoof
of the commercials for rosetta stone's
language learning software
only with one supremely dark twist i'm
learning thai
so i can go to thailand for a thing
there's a group of sketchy looking men
all seeking to learn thai to indulge in
one of the country's most
infamous stereotypes i'm learning german
so that i can pretend that i'm german
while in thailand
from the sweaty dark room web surfing to
the oversized and creepy glasses
it's a gross and button-pushing sketch
that might leave some viewers picking
their jaws up
off the floor you can learn great
conversational phrases like
how much is that for the whole night
oh my god what have i done number five
sitcom reboot many of us are familiar
with the trope of adult and child body
swapping we're talking about movies like
freaky friday
vice versa and like father like son he
thought
being a kid was pretty tough he thought
being a dad was too
then a witch came along did a magic
spell
and now we've got a switcheroo the
switcheroo sketch takes things to an
extreme that none of those movies touch
and probably for good reason dad goes to
school son goes to work
john mullaney is honestly brilliant as a
sitcom creator whose idea for a reboot
is so
troubling and offensive he's basically
run out of town due to legal reasons
you shot it in port-au-prince
for a few weeks and then even the
haitians were like no
dice his interview on hollywood update
reveals that he was forced to shoot
switcheroo in places like haiti and
guyana while at the same time exposing
some deep-seated childhood trauma of his
own
i want to tell our viewers that while he
laughed after the clips
during them he stared at me with no
expression
number four family feud snl has had a
lot of success with their game show
parodies over the years
celebrity jeopardy anyone can dare how
you doing
hey careful now this includes the
multiple times they've tried their hand
at celebrity family feud
but there was something profoundly dark
about this installment pitting the
osmonds against the family of john
phillips
former singer of the mamas and the papas
we're riding high
on life that's fine
hey richard i want to point out that
we're also high in life except
also downers and also wine it all has to
do with trauma and dysfunction as the
sketch digs up skeletons from the
closets of both families within the
family feud framework
something to do with your dad first
thing comes to your mind
beg him to put your bozo brother up for
adoption
you're the bozo so kramet clown jason
sedakis does his best richard dawson
impression
but not even his performance can stop
the implications of this sketch from
making our skin crawl mackenzie and her
dad are always going off to play sports
and i'm like
can i come and they're like no we like
to do sports just two of us
number three mr belvedere fan club call
the next sketch on our list a
product of its time
[Applause]
the mr belvedere fan club presents a
group of people whose grip on reality is
tenuous at best as they describe
increasingly troubled and obsessive
behavior towards their favorite
fictional television character
all right all those in favor who want to
kill mr belvedere say aye
tom hanks holds the sketch together as
the straight man while chris farley adam
sandler and particularly phil hartman
display mental health issues that would
raise
huge red flags today i do think we need
to do
our exercises what exercises
the exercise that helps keep the line
between reality and fantasy a little
less blurry
you'll see the reactions at the time are
comparatively tame
however with the audience laughing along
to the admittedly ridiculous premise in
a way that undercuts how shockingly dark
the sketch truly is
i should want to say hi to him nicely
i shouldn't want to keep him in a big
jar in my basement
number two meet your second wife this
entry is a great example of a sketch
that's impeccably written but
dark as hell your lovely wife samantha
is in the audience today
yay brian she seems great
for now meet your second wife surprises
its three male contestants by revealing
to them situations whereby their
otherwise happy marriages
are succeeded by an increasingly young
series of second spouses
one day years in the future she will be
your second wife
that's that's impossible the reactions
of bobby moynihan
taryn killum and keenan thompson are
brilliant while hosts tina fey and amy
poehler describe situations that
honestly
do happen in real life with a gleefully
black sense of humor
this is ridiculous i am not leaving
elaine you're right
you won't sadly elaine will pass away in
a tragic kayaking accident the reaction
shots of aidy bryant vanessa bayer and
leslie jones
also hammer home the sketch's perverse
punch line making this a group effort in
the best slash worst possible way
toby you're here tonight with your wife
of 20 years deanna
that's right hey baby before we unveil
our number one pick
here are some honorable mentions grow a
guy
we don't know what's worse the chia
friend or the gratuitous explosions
hello there
[Music]
what have you become for the existential
dread
i always wanted to be a mom and now i
have a beautiful daughter
and i've become exactly what i want ah
good for you quick follow-up
are you happy no wilderness lodge
the yelp reviews didn't mention this
these guys are probably just some local
eccentrics you know
so i say when the room's clean we go up
there and we pop a bottle of wine
oh that sounds wonderful yeah almost
pizza
did kristen wiig's character really want
to feed her family that for dinner i'll
eat it
no
i never said it was pizza

number one world's most evil invention
here is the snl sketch with a punchline
so dark
we dare not speak its name
hi mom my name is roy dwayne the rock
johnson
did have to however as he portrays a mad
scientist with one
boundary pushing taboo breaking
absolutely
most evil invention i call it robochomo
the international mad scientist society
may be full of baddies but johnson's
doctor um
roy does them all in with a robot that's
destined to be profiled on to catch a
predator
yes yes yes that's it exactly right this
this guy gets it you get it
oh my god no i don't what's perhaps the
most twisted aspect of the sketch
however is the
final reveal when the entire thing just
turns out to be an advertisement for
white castle
things are always better with juicy
beef and onion sandwiches from white
castle
america's medieval sandwich restaurant

this one snl
