SNL Past and Present
In my unproffesional opinion there are two SNL skits that stand out from everything else. Keep in mind that SNL has been around forever, so picking out two was somewhat difficult if you think too much. But after I stopped thinking about it for sometime it became suddenly clear to me. Just pick the two that made you laugh the most, so I did. Most of the SNL classics were from the past when the show was one of the best on TV, and all the greats were on, and they had great hosts every Saturday. Now-a-days the show is fading, in my opinion on the shoulders of Keenan Thompson, but two SNL-ers shed some light on a dark situation with one of the two funniest skits in SNL history. The two I picked were the "Cowbell" featuring Christopher Walken, and Will Ferrell. A classic. Nothing else can be said about it. The other one I picked was from the newer seasons. "Lazy Sunday" is a rap featuring Chris Parnell and Adam Samberg about their Sunday, and their trip to the movie theater. The rap is hilarous and you might need to watch it two-three times to get everything out of it.
Here's the famous "Need More Cowbell." Enjoy...
Unfortunately youtube.com doesn't have "Lazy Sunday" because NBC through the block down upon it. Really sad stuff considering you can see anything on youtube but SNL stuff. Fortunately I'm a computer whiz and found it on this internet site here
Lazy Sunday
You watch both of them, because shortly NBC is going to rid "Cowbell" from youtube.com. So watch it while you can. Watch them both and then tell me which one you like better. Personally I enjoyed the "Lazy Sunday" better because everything rhymes, and everything is associated with something. Don'et get me wrong, "Cowbell" is great, always will be. But I honestly like "Lazy Sunday" better. Tell me how you feel.

I have to 2nd Tom. Nobody is scarier than Christopher Walken, and scary is always funny.
You have to explore the room with your cowbell...
Yeah I would say that in the particular skit, Christopher Walken isn't Christopher Walken as much as he is Bruce Dickinson, yes, THE Bruce Dickinson. But not, he isn't scary, just the man.
Walken for president '08!
Anyone who would even think about comparing the new SNL to the classics sees the world in a very poor perspective.
"She was shot 9 times...In New York...I mean, Kansas."
There's no doubt in my mind that the old ones were better, but I think this individual skit was better than Cowbell. That's all
