Was pretty funny.

Then it got to LITTLE PIG BOY and became something amazing.

The country of origin bit was a masterstroke.

My favorite: Career Day

Adam Driver is amazing.

I always thought the Jammy Shuffle bit with Franco was dark.

Edit:

I'm adding undercover office potty just because I love it.

Reminds me of the derrickcomedy spelling bee sketch.

[u/Sir_Edam]

James Franco is phenomenal in this sketch! It's astounding to me, how long he was able to contain his urge to laugh and only lost it, for a brief moment, at "little pig boy".

something something 25th annual putnam county spelling bee.

[u/Crulo]

Doesn’t a ding in a spelling bee mean you spelled it incorrectly ?

[u/Powerful_Fox]

I'm from the UK so while I know of SNL, I've only ever seen half a dozen sketches. This one is brilliant. If anyone can recommend their favourites or others like this, I'd be grateful!

EDIT: Cheers for the suggestions so far lads and lasses. I will make a point of watching every single one of these after my son goes to bed tonight. I'm going to make an evening of it!

EDIT 2: Been away for an hour and now have enough suggestions to last me a week! Well played folks!

EDIT 3: Right, I get it.... SNL is fucking brilliant and I have a backlog of about 20 years to watch now. What was going going be an evening watching skits is now a full evening of reading comments about the skits.

That was dark? To me, it seemed light and fluffy. Then again, I grew up with Kids in the Hall.
