5 Of The Most Underrated SNL Sketches
Huffington Post

Some of Saturday Night Live's sketches are iconic and are watched for years after it was premiered. Sketches like "Schweddy Balls", starring Alec Baldwin, or "Dick in a Box" starring Andy Samberg and Justin Timberlake are some of the shows most famous, but there are so many other funny sketches from the show's 43 years on air that are not as recognized and are definitely under appreciated. Here are five skits from SNL that you either have not seen or forgot about:

1. Bathroom Businessman

This sketch is a public service announcement for decency to tell people it is disgusting to work in the bathroom. In the skit, Kenan Thompson is a businessman with a portable office that he sets up in bathroom stalls. He increases his efficiency by working on the toilet, but ultimately faces a problem when he sets up his office space, but can not get to the toilet to sit down.

2. One Direction's #1 Fan


In this hilarious sketch, which is not even on the NBC website anymore, host, Paul Rudd, plays a man named Dan Charles, who claims to be the number one fan of boyband One Direction. Charles is the oldest person and only male in a crowd of little girls waiting to get a glimpse of the band. During the skit Charles proves to the girls that he knows more facts about the band and each individual member, Niall Horan, Liam Payne, Harry Styles, Louis Tomlinson and, at the time, Zayn Malik. Even when he gets a phone call from his wife saying that she gave birth, Charles stays in the crowd. When the band finally makes an appearance, Charles catches their attention and asks the boys for an autograph, which they assume is for his daughter. This skit is definitely a must see.

3. SNL Digital Short: United Way


This digital short is a public service announcement for United Way, in which NFL star Peyton Manning volunteers with a youth group, but exhibits poor behavior. Instead of encouraging kids to get involved and be active, Manning treats the football activities as if they were playing a professional game. He also does extra things with the kids, including, but not limited to, teaching them how to break into a car, having a drink with them and forcing one kid to get a tattoo of his face.

4. Monologue: Drake's Bar Mitzvah


While this is not a sketch, Drake's monologue from the first time he hosted the show in 2014 is extremely funny. In the monologue, Drake reminisces about his bar mitzvah and celebrating with his Jewish mother's family and his Black father's family. He hilariously raps about balling like LeBron and knowing what a W-2 is!

5. Drake's Beef


Another SNL sketch starring Drake that is underrated is this digital short, in which Drake has had enough of the SNL cast being rude to him, which leads him to doing a remix of his song 'Back to Back' about them.

There are so many SNL sketches that are under appreciated, but hopefully this will give you an opportunity to see some sketches that you haven't seen before.

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.
