The One With My Favorite SNL Skits

Saturday Night Live has always been one of my favorite shows. When you find someone who has watched SNL it’s pretty easy to continue a conversation with them because there are way too many funny skits to talk about. Here are my top 5 favorites:

1.) More Cowbell

 

This is easily one of the funniest SNL skits of all time. This skit takes place in a studio where Will Ferrell, Chris Parnell, Jimmy Fallon, and Chris Kattan are recording the song "(Don't Fear) The Reaper" by Blue Öyster Cult. Christopher Walken hosted this episode, and in this skit walks in and demands that Will Ferrell uses “more cowbell” in the performance. I don’t know if their outfits are the funniest parts, or that Jimmy Fallon can not stop laughing (as usual).

2.) New Girlfriend


This skit aired this year when Fred Armisen hosted. Jason Sudeikis, who plays Michael, brings his new girlfriend Regine, Fred Armisen, to meet his friends. Physical affection makes Regine act out in strange ways. Everyone is uncomfortable and all the characters break in this skit which always makes it even more funny.

3.) Chronicles of Narnia (Lazy Sunday)

Andy Samberg is one of my favorite people ever, and his SNL Digital Short’s never fail to make me laugh. One of his classic shorts was released in 2005 with Chris Parnell. This offbeat rap about their desire to see the film The Chronicles of Narnia changed Samberg’s life forever. This rap got him recognized a lot more and was a platformfor him. P.S Lazy Sunday Pt 2 is just as good.

4.) Wild and Crazy Guys

The Festrunk brothers were some “wild and crazy guys.” Dan Aykroyd and Steve Martin played Georg and Yortuk Festrunk who were political refugees that escaped riots by “throwing many rocks at a Russian tank.” They usually talked about their “large bulges” and “many swinging adventures.” A must watch.

5.) Kissing Family

This is probably one of the grossest skits but I promise you will not stop laughing at it. This skit, which includes so many amazing actors like Bill Hader and Fred Armisen, is about a family that are REALLY close and love to show their affection to each other. The whole family definitely has boundary issues because they all make out with each other. I know it sounds gross, but it is hysterical.


These are just SOME of my favorites. It was really hard to pick only five. Some of my other favorites that you should watch are “Sarah Palin Interviews with Katie Couric,” “Homelessville,” “The Spartan Cheerleaders,” “Wayne’s World,” “Debbie Downer,” “The Barry Gibb Talk Show,” “Target Lady,” “Matt Foley: Motivational Speaker,” and of course any Celebrity Family Feud. I’m sure as soon as I submit this article I will think of 20 more, but those are the greatest that come to mind. Hope you enjoy this list of hysterical skits and LIVE FROM NEW YORK ITS SATURDAY NIGHTTTTTTT!

10 Signs You Work In A Restaurant

There's always chaos in the restaurant business.

10 Signs You Work In A Restaurant
Brisanis

Working in the restaurant industry is possibly the most fundamentally challenging occupation I have ever experienced when it comes to hospitality and customer service. When you go to a five-star restaurant you expect the time of your life, a two hour getaway, a walk through another time period (rustic Italy, France, Spain, etc), or simply a honeymoon undergo. What you don't see are the behind the scenes scut work: carrying trays, polishing glassware and silverware, kitchen chaos, the list is endless. Now, I'm not saying being a host, server, or bartender is the worst thing in the whole wide world, there are definitely worse things. But the fact of the matter is that it isn't always sunshine and rainbows. In the two years that I have spent in restaurant and customer service, I have spoken my share of expletives, yelled at kitchen staff, and dealt with not-so-happy guests. It isn't easy to keep a bright and shiny smile on your face when all you want to do is choke every person who walks near you. Anyone who has spent even two weeks working in a restaurant understands the rigor and stress that comes with it. Restaurant culture is a tiny world in and of itself that operates on its own principles and creates its own society. It even has its own language. The sayings "runner", "corner", and "on a bus" wouldn't make sense to anyone otherwise. My mother and I both work in a restaurant and the best advice I can give someone going out to eat is to treat us like people. Yes...believe it or not we are people, people. Say "please" and "thank you", or stack your cleared plates before a busser gets to the table. Trust me, the gesture goes a lot farther than you may think.

So, if you work in a restaurant, you can relate with the following points. If not, check out how the brain of a restaurant service (or any customer service) worker actually works. See if you can identify any crazy weird habits your friends have a tendency to partake in.

One of the scariest things we will ever face in our life is going to college. Many of us move away to a new town, join new organizations, and make new friends. We are expected to study, have a social life, relationships, maybe work, and be healthy. It seems pretty easy to do, and in high school all we wanted to do was graduate and move on to this next chapter of our lives. If you are in high school, here are some things that you can learn from before you get to college. If you have already been through your freshman year of college, hopefully you can relate to the things I have learned in college.
