I tried to find it on YouTube but couldn't. This was many years ago; I have not watched SNL in a long time.

 

This was years after JFK was assassinated. Several people were asked where they were when they heard that JFK had been killed. None knew he was dead.

One of my most vivid memories of my father is of him coming down to see what we were up to in the den, and catching Dan Aykroyd's "The French Chef" sketch. I've never seen my father laugh so hard. I thought he was going to have a heart attack.

"In this commercial parody, Schmitts Gay Beer helps two guys (Adam Sandler, Chris Farley) transform a dumpy house-sitting situation into a fun, gay party house. [season 17, 1991]"

Candice Bergen and the brilliant Gilda Radner in the "Right To Extreme Stupidity League" sketch. Cracks me up every single time.

That Julia Child sketch may indeed be the greatest. "Save the liver" indeed.

 

But then there was that commercial parody for "Shimmer" - a floor wax AND a dessert topping.

 

I can only find an audio version of the skit - here 'tis.

My elementary school class was used for "Slim Goodbody" back in the 70s

 

Ooh - there was something very creepy about that dude (was that even a dude?)

"Shimmer," the floor wax that is also a dessert topping, is one of my all-time favorites.

 

Another is "Compulsion."

Lots of great commercial parodies. I remember being fooled by the authentic vibe of the Quarry cereal commercial ("better, because it's mined"). Little chocolate donuts, Jewess jeans ("guaranteed to ride up"). Colon Blow cereal...

 

Then there's these:

On the flip side, during the 1977 reboot of Laugh-In an actual commercial for the "Look for the Union Label" people looked like a bad Laugh-In sketch.
