12 Best SNL Sketches Of 2016
NBC

As season 41 of Saturday Night Live ended and season 42 began, new cast members and writers brought their skills to the table. It seems like this season is better than the last with great episodes from hosts like Tom Hanks and Dave Chappelle.

I've narrowed down 12 of the best SNL sketches of 2016 after hours of binge watching this show during winter break. Watch them all because they are all marvelous.

1. Star Wars Undercover Boss: Starkiller Base


SNL found an original way to make a sketch about Star Wars.

2. Haunted Elevator (ft. David S. Pumpkins)

Tom Hanks hosted a great SNL episode this season. His role as David S. Pumpkins in the haunted elevator sketch was bizarre enough to be hilarious. So weird, yet so funny!

3. Election Night


This sketch is relatable, considering I go to the University of Oregon.

4. Golden Globes

This sketch shows what goes on at home when the parents are at the Golden Globes.

5. Bern Your Enthusiasm


Larry David referenced Curb Your Enthusiasm in this Bernie Sanders sketch.

6. Alec Baldwin As Donald Trump

Alec Baldwin has been killing it this season with his Trump impression.

7. Kyle vs. Kanye


Kyle Mooney is an aspiring rapper who challenges Kanye West to a rap battle.

8. Crucible Cast Party (ft. Lin-Manuel Miranda)


Cast members of a high school play sing about what goes on at their wild cast party.

9. Wells For Boys


"Check out other cool new toys for our sensitive boy line, like balconies for when they are ready to announce something or a shattered mirror to examine the complex contradictions of their being."

10. A Day Off

Kellyanne Conway (Kate McKinnon), Trump's campaign manager, takes a day off and has to go back to work seemingly every time Trump tweets something.

11. Hillary Actually

Hillary Clinton (Kate McKinnon) asks an elector to change her vote in her favor in this recreation of this classic scene from Love Actually.

12. Pool Boy

Julia Louis-Dreyfus stars as a married woman who is having trouble ending her affair with her dumb pool boy, Chad (Pete Davidson).

Bonus Video: Office Hours

Benedict Cumberbatch gives an Oscar-worthy performance as a college professor pouring his heart out to Chad (Pete Davidson), a dumb college student.

These sketches were the best to come out of SNL this season, but there are more to watch. Check out SNL's YouTube channel here.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
