Saturday Night Live has seriously been lacking quality skits the past few years. I realize this really has nothing to do with music but my favorite SNL skit is indeed a musical one. So back to the topic, the problem with SNL is the lackluster cast but every now and then they will come up with a classic skit. It seems like through SNL history it is a show based on a few incredible skits and the rest is just filler. Anyway, my favorite SNL skit of all time has to be the skit with Chris Parnell and Andy Samberg called "Lazy Sunday." It is a ridiculous rap about the two's journey to go see "The Chronicels of Narnia." The song is filled with classic and catchy lines. After this skit aired on SNL it flooded the internet as if it was going out of style. If you haven't seen it yet I URGE you to watch it and here is where you can watch it
Lazy Sunday. One interesting note about the way it flooded the internet was the way NBC handled it. NBC made sure that no site could show it which I think is a poor move on their part. SNL has been in a serious drought for quite a long time and by making it difficult to find skits online is only hurting their odds of getting back that large viewing audience they once had. As I said earlier, please watch the skit if you haven't yet and also what is your favorite SNL skit? Runner Ups for me would be Matt Foley the Motivational Speaker and Christopher Walken playing Bruce Dickenson as a record producer trying to incorporate more Cow Bell into Blue Oyster Cult's "Don't Fear the Reaper."

Speaking of Christopher Walken-- I was dismayed this morning when I learned that Mancow is doing away with his "Christopher Walken Theater" segments (Christopher Walken recites a line of dialogue from a movie, callers call in to guess what it is). It was hilarious.
Jeff - SNL has sucked for a really long time, and by their stupid decisions to try and block net access to their content they are dooming themselves. I can't see them making it another 3 or 4 years with that kind of mindset. You take the fans where you can find them and figure it all out later.
Peace,

jeff & neo, SNL probably blocks the skits online so they can sell their "Best Of SNL" DVDs.
my favorite skits. the one's from the 80s...killer bees w/ belushi, the Festrunk Brothers (Martin and Aykroyd), Land Shark was always a good one...and anything with Gilda.
