One of the guests, Rachel Dratch, takes the game a bit more seriously than her friends. In this sketch, Wiig and Barkley are game show contestants on a show called “Reel Quotes.” Hader becomes increasingly frustrated with the contestants as it becomes clear that they don’t quite understand what a quote is.Īs the name would suggest, this sketch centers around a game night. It is hard for hosts to hold their own in sketches when put together with SNL greats, but Charles Barkley manages to stand out alongside Bill Hader and Kristen Wiig. The chemistry between the guys and their ability to toe the line between everyday occurrences and absolute absurdity are great and add to the humor of the sketches. The group has a unique style of filming with zooms and angles that give the camera work a handheld feel. The skits the group produces are reminiscent of the era of the Lonely Island, digital shorts and exclusives. One of my favorite additions to the show in recent years, their sketches never miss. Please Don’t Destroy is a comedy trio that was hired for the 47th season of “SNL.” The trio consists of Ben Marshall, John Higgins and Martin Herlihy. “ Please Don’t Destroy – New Personalities ” – Overall, this sketch is very funny and lighthearted, making it a great one to de-stress with during a break in studying. The contrast between the scene playing out in front of the camera and that playing out in the background is stark. While a dramatic scene is being shot, background actors have a hard time following the instructions of the director. This sketch is physical comedy at its finest.

With finals week around the corner, I thought I would share a list of 10 underrated sketches I find very funny for anyone looking for a good laugh. Throughout my years of SNL deep diving, I have put together a good list of hilarious sketches that people who aren’t huge SNL fans have likely never seen. While I always enjoy rewatching classic sketches like “Matt Foley: Van Down By The River” and “Debbie Downer,” there are many sketches that are less popular, but are still extremely funny. I have grown up watching sketches from various eras of the show online and have read through many cast members’ and SNL related Wikipedia pages. Anyone who knows me knows that I love “Saturday Night Live.” I could spend hours scrolling through YouTube watching and rewatching sketches.
