What's the Worst Repeating SNL?
(Click here to view the original thread with full colors/images)

Posted by: GoodSpike

I searched to see if there was a companion thread and didn't find it.

My votes:

Goatboy.
The two chearleaders.

Posted by: Skittles

The Huggies Thong commercial. I think they're going for a record number of airings for that spoof this season.

Delta, Delta, Delta was pretty bad.
The Gap Girls lived too long.
Pat stopped being funny after about the second time.
Hans and Franz got tired as well - although the Swayze episode was classic.
Tonto, Frankenstein and Tarzan....stupid.
Anything involving Chris Kattan.

I actually like Goat Boy.

I can't stand Brian Fellow. I thought we were done with him when Tracy Morgan left the show, but they brought him back for Janet Jackson's recent episode.

Chris Farley turned one-note after a while. The Chippendales skit with Patrick Swayze was funny, but "Inspirational Guy" got old after 1 episode.

Worst repeating feature of all time? No contest.

A. Whitney Brown commentaries on Weekend Update.

How about simply Colin Quinn reading the news. That's when I stopped watching the show.

I haven't laughed yet at "Deep Thoughts by Jack Handey".

Oh, good call. I'd forgotten about those.

I never liked Mango. Hate Brian Fellow. Didn't like Kevin Nealon doing Update.

Posted by: YCantAngieRead

Heh. I was going to ask in the other thread where A. Whitney Brown had gone to, because I really enjoyed his commentaries. :D Guess I was kind of alone in that.

And I'm with you on the Chris Kattan thing. I've never liked anything he did.

Posted by: Beancounter25

Colin Quinn. How does that man have a career? He is the most singularly unfunny person I've ever seen on TV. He is incapable of even reading a cuecard, much less imbuing it with any comedic timing or droll effect. He mumbles and stumbles around, occasionally blurting out a politically incorrect nugget that passes for edginess. His career should have ended with Remote Control.

Remote Control - now that show was awesome!

The native American stand up comic, plus anything with Chris Kattan.

Posted by: Hey_Hey

The Falconer (or whatever it was called, definitely FF time)

Posted by: TivoDaddy

Another :down: for the Brian Fellows bit. It was somewhat funny the first time.

They have been going with the Italian wine factory bit a couple of times. The original with Jack Black was somewhat funny as well, and the one with Janet Jackson was OK.

The Fernando one, or whatever the Latin singer/comic/host's name is.

Posted by: AJRitz

Virtually anything done by Chris Kattan is awful.

Brian Fellows should never have qualified for a returning role.

And the one Phil Hartman character I never liked - Unfrozen Caveman Lawyer.

Amen.

For some reason, other comedians LOVE this guy - they all talk about how funny he is. He must be fun to hang around with, because he sure ain't funny on anything I've seen him do. Either that or he's the house drug dealer at the Friar's Club.

Brian Fellow is terrible.
I thought the cheerleaders were one of their better recurring skits.
I never liked Molly Shannon as catholic schoolgirl.
Or her as the 'licensed Joyoligist' (I love it I love it I love it!) I hated it.

Chris Katan was great, who couldn't love gay hitler?

The Mango was classic too. :up:

Posted by: SparkleMotion

Agreed re: Quinn. Talentless dweeb. I can't tell you how many times I've TRIED to give "Tough Crowd" a chance and then sh1tcanned it because of him.

I can't believe he's been in the business THIS LONG and still can't string two sentences together without screwing them up! :rolleyes:

Posted by: boywaja

for me unfrozen caveman lawyer was pretty annoying.

Posted by: e_hughston

The Donatella Versace skits are lame. Can't FF fast enough.

Posted by: YCantAngieRead

Ugh. I agree with you on that one. Those are awful.

Not at all! It's been a while since I've seen any of them, though, so I can't be sure that I remember rightly. :-)

Posted by: IJustLikeTivo

any skit were Jimmy Fallon laughs. None of them are so funny that you should laugh while doing it for the 10 time since rehearsals started. Maybe the first time but not after a zillion trial runs. What a hoser!

Posted by: browserman

The worst used to be the old "gap girls" series - Wow! That was terrible the first time, but they kept it up!

Posted by: Jayjoans

BTW, it was gay SPEEDSKATING Hitler...... ha.

Posted by: Jayjoans

Worst ever is that latin looking idiot that does the percussionist routine with the repeating catch phrase. Geez, not even boy scout camp skit worthy.

Wow - I've never talked to anyone ever that liked him. Maybe this is a chance for you to solve the A. Whitney Brown Mystery: what was he trying to do???

Was he trying to be funny? Politically Informative? Politically clever? It has to be something else, because he failed miserably at those three things.

I'm honestly curious - I just have no idea why Lorne Michaels put him on at all. IIRC, the audience usually just sat in stunned silence until he was through.

Please enlighten! :)

X-Presidents is usually stupid.

Love "The Inter-continental" though.

The recurring Christopher Walken sketch? I think it's called The Continental. I like it too!

I'm surprised to see that so many people can't stand Chris Kattan at all. I guess maybe he's an acquired taste. His "terrible reenactments" on Weekend Update never failed to crack me up.

Just the Continental? No Inter-? You're probably right, though. I don't know where I got that from.
Love the camera work in those skits especially. It's like a FPS.

How come nobody's mentioned The Sweeney Sisters? They used to weigh the show down so much that I'd never finish the episodes they were on!
The only one of their sketches I liked was when they sang a Simon & Garfunkel medley to an uninterested Paul Simon.

A few years ago, it was anything Adam Sandler for me. I didn't think anything he did was funny. I might have missed something that was actually funny because I never paid attention to him.

My wife thinks Chris Kattan is hilarious, but I can't stand him. Although Mango with Garth Brooks was slightly funny!

I can't stand the Donnatella Versace skits, although I think Maya Rudolph is great. I didn't like the subway singing skit with her & Tracy Morgan either.

I don't like anything that the Fred Armisen does (ie. Latin American comedian, percussionist) He's not the least bit funny in my opinion.

I absolutely can't stand anything even remotely connected to Colin Quinn, except Remote Control. Ah, Kari Wuhr! mmmm.....

Does anybody remember how bad Anthony Michael Hall was during the 80s? He can act in movies - I thought he was convincing as the pinstriped yuppie in Caveman's Valentine (bad movie, but good acting) - but he was terrible in SNL.
