SNL - Still Funny?

Long gone are the days when Saturday Night Live featured the Not Ready For Prime Time Players including Canadian Dan Aykroyd, John Belushi, Bill Murray and Gilda Radner. Their comedy from 1975 to 1979 was cutting edge and quite controversial. Even today some of their sketches shock some of the less open-minded viewers.

The show has made stars of many of its cast members including Chevy Chase, Phil Hartman, Will Ferrell, Billy Crystal, Chris Farley, Adam Sandler, Steve Martin, Mike Meyers, Eddie Murphy and Dana Carvey. Many have gone on to have careers in movies and on other television shows.

However, the SNL that I used to love watching in the 80's and early 90's isn't what it used to be. I miss characters and sketches like The Coneheads, Mr. Robinson's Neighbourhood, Mr. Bill, Fernando's Hideaway, Hans and Franz and The Church Lady.

There have been a few gems to come out of the show from the mid 90's to today like Wayne's World, Motivational Speaker Matt Foley, Opera Man and The Spartan Cheerleaders.

If you're reading this and you don't have even the slightest clue of what I'm talking about, then I would guess you've never been interested in SNL or you've been going to bed before 11:30 p.m. on Saturday night for the last 31 years.

So rare is it lately that I watch the show and get a laugh, I had to share with you the funniest thing (to me) to come out of SNL in quite some time. You may or may not find it humourous and if you're easily offended then this might not be for you and you'd be advised to not press play. However, if you share a similar taste in comedy to me, you might get a kick out of this little song from this past Christmas on Saturday Night Live.
