Who is Pat Morita?


Will Ferrell recently hosted SNL and they did a new version of Celebrity Jeopardy with Tom Hanks, Kathie Lee Gifford, and Sean Connery. I am sorry, but Celebrity Jeopardy could be the greatest sketch in SNL history. Ferrell plays such a good Alex Trebek. In particular, the sketch with Norm McDonald as Burt Reynolds as Turd Ferguson is probably the single funniest sketch the show may have ever put out. You can check that one out here in case you need a refresher course in funny. 

If I had to rank the top ten best SNL sketches of all time, I think Ferrell would be in a few of them. Actually, that gives me an idea...here are the top ten best sketches of my lifetime courtesy of SNL. I linked to the videos of the ones I could find. 






7.5 Brian Fellows (that bird's gonna ruin my credit). 





3. Woodrow and Britney Spears (Take a Doo Doo Pie)


1. Celebrity Jeopardy (See above for link).

Well, those are them. I am sure you remember others, but these are some of my favorites. If you think of any other great ones, let me me know and I'll post them.

Oh, and here is the recent Celebrity Jeopardy video. The Connery insults in this one may be the best yet. Oh, and someone makes a surpise appearance. Enjoy...

Greatness...

I haven't posted anything in a while and there isn't really anything pressing to talk about at the moment because I am off to Hawaii in the morning. But I do have a video for you to check out. Back in 1988, this music video came out and I thought it was the coolest thing since sliced bread and made me fall in love with a certain band. In fact, the band would later be my first concert in what would become many. The video was like nothing I had seen before in that it was like reality TV before there was a genre called reality TV. All the other videos around the time reminded me of either a Meatloaf video or a Dire Straits video, the over the top fire works, hot cars, and big hair or the artsy half animated, half reality type shit. This video just showed how big and bad a band could be in the 80s. Seriously, look at Giants Stadium. It is almost packed and holds 80,000 people. Anyway, without further ado, enjoy six and a half minutes of pure awesomeness because this video will take you back.
