Saturday Night Live (SNL)

[Skerpokes]

How is Farley not top 10, but Poehler is? I can't think of a single memorable scene with Poehler in it, but I can count numerous Farley ones, including "van down by the river" and the chippendales scene w/ Swayze.

I think if you were making a Mt. Rushmore of SNL cast members, Farley would have to be included in it. Farley was basically the reason you tuned into SNL in the early-mid 90's.

Maya Rudolph ranked above Jon Lovitz???

EFF. THEM.

Afraid to look, will most likely become enraged when I see Fallon ranked ahead of really funny cast members.

 

[Ojb81]

And I'm sorry, Bill Hader was nice and all for a little while, but no way in hell he should be in the top 20

 

[Ojb81]

Honestly, my top 5 are:

1. Chris Farley (his physical comedy is unmatched IMO)
2. Dana Carvey
3. Eddie Murphy
4. Phil Hartman
5. Will Ferrell

 

[Skerpokes]

This Kate McKinnon chick, ranked 37 should be moving up if she stays on long enough

 

[beardown07]

That list is shit. I don't know who the fuck Tina Fey is blowing, but she is not that fucking great? Her and Poehler must be tag-teaming someone?

And this is probably one of my more unpopular opinions, but Belushi is overrated.


His death made him a martyr.

Norm MacDonald almost dead last. Even if you're just taking into account his SNL work by itself he was the best Weekend Update host by a large margin. That, and most people on that list couldn't hold his jockstrap. I guess these are the same twats who ranked Kurt Cobain as a top 10 guitarist of all time so it's not like they had any credibility anyway.

Norm was the 2nd best Weekend Update anchor next to Chevy

Agreed.

Norm, I'm going to stare at the camera with a lopsided grin until people think I'm funny, McDonald?

 

[Battlelyon]

I think they got the top 7 right but I'd put Tina Fey around #7 and Mike Meyers #3.

I don't know how someone can come to the conclusion that Tracy Morgan was funny on SNL. Its very fair to say that he never got a shot but he didn't become funny until after SNL.

The most underrated one is Darrell Hammond imo. I'd put him around #20 just for all of his impressions.

I can't be the only one that thinks Mike Meyers fucking sucks, too bad the real Michael Meyers couldn't kill him. Yet he is three,

Norm is a poor-mans Andy Kaufman. His humor is based on making you laugh AT him. But it is intentional.

While I don't disagree that Belushi is over-rated, I still think he was pretty g-d'd funny. Farly was a bad impression of Belushi.

Norm would probably be on my list of the 5 funniest people on the planet. The other 4 would all be Bob Saget.

Chevy was fine from what I've seen. That was before my time though. Norm was certainly the last good Update anchor. Too bad the the people running the show were too blind to see it.

By the way the monologue Norm did when he came back as the guest host after they fired him was just amazing if you've never seen it.

Funny, listening to that and he sounds exactly like Colonel Sanders

 

[tducey]

Decent list. As to Fey and Poehler; I like them both but it seems like they're trying to hard to be funny sometimes.

Austin Powers and Waynes World was good, his character Dieter was one of the worst in SNL history.

Good point. I think Belushi got some points for dying but he was still the best.

From Joe Cocker to the Blue Brothers
Samuri 'whatever' to the Cheeseburgers guy to the Hulk.
Send John Belushi to the Olympics
Belushi freaking out on the weekend update


I thought Bill Murray should have been higher.
