Devastated to see "fork handles" at no 41, but relieved to see "the parrot" heading the list. Must work my way through the SNL ones as past us by generaly on this side of the pond.

 

I liked the Catherine Tate - Ginger refuge. It's true the police are the most gingerphobic

I don't like a lot of her stuff, but warming to her. I don't know if I could stomach more than 1 series of her as Dr Who's assistant, currently she's okay but it brings back the memories of the nightmare that was Sylvester McCoy and Bonnie Langford

Some of them are just wiiiiild. the Andy Kaufmann "Marijuana" sketch is totally crazy, and you don't know if the sketch just slided out of control, or if it was written as it's presented. In either case, a really funny moment

 

While they mention the show altho it's not appearing in the 50 best ones, imho "Absolutely Fabulous" is missing, and so are "The Young Ones".

Andy Kaufmann was known for his ability to ad-lib, so I'm coming down on the "slid out of control" side, esp. as Sat Nite Live was truly live [& in those days, not much time delay to speak of] & the writers only gave the cast so much to work with...
