Episode Date: September 29, 2024

Quinn comes to you LIVE to run through 10 SNL sketches that always makes him laugh

Hey, what's going on? It's Quinn David Furness. Welcome to my show Quinn David Furness presents the Bean Town podcast for Sunday, September 29 2024. What's happening? What's going on? How are you? We just jumped right into recording no entertainer queued up or anything like that here. I'll queue it up for you just to help you feel better. Just stress. Stress would be the name of the game. We got Miss Maple over here. Just finished her breakfast. And mom's at a workout class and she's not enjoying herself. So this could be a bumpy ride. I don't know if this podcast is going to work or not. Yeah, we're just going to do our our best shout out to all the beanheads out there. Thanks for supporting our show across seven seasons hello to Pakistan

Thank you for making see 112th ranked comedy podcast in the great Islamic Republic of Pakistan Hello, Hyderabad. Hello, Khyber Pass. Hello, Karachi. Hello to all the Pakistani dogs out there. Bark bark, woof woof, and cry and whimper like Maple is doing right now. Here, interview with the dog, that could be good. All of a sudden you get shy, put a microphone in front of your face, you're killing me dog. All of a sudden you get shy, put a microphone in front of your face, you're killing me dog. I am the chief creator, host, pet wrangler of this program, Quinn David Furnish presents the Bean Town podcast.

It is a gloomy Sunday morning here, another Sunday early morning special while mom is at class. And yeah, we we're just we're hanging out sleep schedules not been good some some of us there's three three of us in the house and one of the three without pointing the finger isn't isn't relaxing after 2 3 a.m. give or take so it's been a rough it's been a rough run of it and again, I won't won't name any names, but We'll just leave it at that We got a couple different things to get to here. We had the SNL season 50 premiere happening last night

so I'm gonna be showcasing 10 of my So I'm going to be showcasing ton of my favorite go-to sketches. It's not meant to be like power ranking the greatest SNL sketches of all time. That's silly. And probably none of the sketches I have in my list would be considered greatest of all time. But it is what it is and we're just going gonna go with it because they're some of my favorites Listen discretion is advised me you're listening to the bean town podcast number one will occasionally some language number two this podcast subjectively terrible

um I guess that's all there is to say about that. Sorry a little bit disjointed this morning brain is clearly not firing on all cylinders I got my coffee going Well, this is very interesting. So Rachel has a coffee cup that is that we both are we both use meaning I use it. I think it was a white elephant gift I can't remember but it's it's a it's a it's a coffee cup with a mug with images. It's a guide to midwestern fish and you're never going to believe this. I haven't been using it much lately. I just whipped it back into the rotation about a week ago. But I just

noticed, here's a little call back to Paris for you. This mug is titled Ray Gunn's Guide to Midwestern Fish. So Ray Gunn, the Australian breakdancer, knew what she was doing all along, huh? Before she got into breakdancing, she was creating guides to Midwestern fish. And we got walleye, bluegill, northern pike, sturgeon, musky, muscolungi, salmon, bass, brook trout, paddlefish, black bullhead catfish, channel catfish, and perch. Which of these is the tastiest? I feel like walleye is pretty commonly used for Friday fish fries, right? Along with cod.

Salmon, I mean, hard to pass up a good salmon. I don't think I've ever eaten a sturgeon. Catfish, I know, is relatively popular, especially down south. I'm sure I've had it once or twice before, but it's not my go-to. What's tastier, catfish or dogfish? What do you think, maple?

You'd probably eat both. Don't discriminate against the Pascato. That's what they say. Yeah, ray gun. Who knew that before she had the sickest moves down under, she was creating coffee mugs about Midwestern fish? Speaking of down under, I think Rachel and I were slightly delirious, and then also two beers in,

which for us these days is just about enough to put us over the edge. But we were watching the NBC feed of Illinois versus Penn State college football last night. And NBC's promoting the heck out of this Bills Ravens Sunday Night Football game happening tonight. Oh, Sunday night. And you know, I've already seen a million promos.

They've been basic. It's just, you know, Bills Ravens, Tonight or Tomorrow on NBC really basic promo But then out of the blue like at the end of the fourth quarter of this game all of a sudden It's the crocodile hunters kids Brady and Tina whatever their names are and they're like both of these animals Some of the wickedest found in the jungle the Bills, a Buffalo A Raven and of course, it's not jungle I don't remember what the copy was but and then it's just a promo bills Ravens Sondonite football mate Apologize, I don't have a great

Australian accent nor do I have a great crocodile hunter kid accent, but it was just completely caught off guard We've been seeing these blame basic promos all night for Bill's Ravens and all of a sudden there's just one with the two crocodile hunter kids. And it was just like, what? I felt like I was hallucinating. Like what? Is this a dream? This is crazy.

I wanted to mention on this week's segment, Quinn's Mailbag, we don't get a lot of emails, but we're still getting snail mail. Now I don't think this is specific to the Bean Town podcast but I did want to mention Rosati's Authentic Chicago Pizza sent us some discounts and I scoffed, S-C-O-F-F-E-D, when I saw these discounts and so I wanted to bring these up. What do you think, Maple? Can we do the discounts? You gonna stop whimpering? Wanna come lie down in your crate? Look, it's got Woodstock. Woodstock. Beloved Snoopy Sidekick Woodstock in your crate. Pretty lucky.

Um, Rosati's, if you don't know, it's a Chicago chain of pretty average pizza. And I don't have a lot of experience with it myself, other than the one year I lived on diversity parkway, there is a Rosati's at diversity and Sheffield just next to the train stop. And so that was only about a seven or eight minute walk from my apartment and I don't know probably in the year I lived there I probably got rosettes five or six times once every other month on average usually deep-dish pizza when

intoxicated or relatively intoxicated and it was like a relatively affordable price for a pretty bad deep dish pizza. And it's just one of those things where when you're young and you just need volume at a quality price, you just go for it. So that's what Rosati's means to me. The closest location to me now, 3603 Northwestern Avenue,

yes it is a confusing address, which is about, it's right across the street from Lane Technical High School, about a 15 minute walk, if you will, basically one one mile. So Rosati is sent some coupons for prices. And I just wanted to share you know, they're not all egregious or anything like that. But this one, this meal deal, I couldn't get out of my head. So it's just like this, this is considered a good deal and

I got to have a coupon to get this price, okay? And if I read this wrong in preparation for the show, because I spent about two seconds on it, and it's actually a good deal, then you can drag me on x at Beantowncast or you can email me beantownpodcast at yahoo.com. Let's take a look at this. This is the $45.99 aka $46 plus tax tip and I don't know all these post-COVID stores are doing convenience fees. A 3% convenience fee will be added to your order and then it's like if you want to take this off ask your server

And then you feel like a dick. Hey, can I pay less but it's just it's an awkward situation I'll say the inverse of that situation Shout out to village tap Roscoe village last night where Rachel Maple and I had supper out on the patio Trying to get trying to get those last couple patio Supper is in because once they close the patios and there's no more dog action going on Rachel and I will be dining at home for the effective near future because one of the three of us I won't

say who it also happens to be the one who's not sleeping past 3 a.m. but one of the three of us is is only at about 10 seconds right now being left alone before she has a meltdown. So not a great benchmark, but we got to start somewhere, right, Maple? And again, I'm not going to point fingers at who that is. Here's the 45.99 game day meal deal. Also, just to make this even worse, I didn't even notice this before,

in parentheses, on days't even notice this before, in parenthesis, on days when bears, bulls, socks, cubs, hawks play. And what I like about this is to make this very specific or legally bound, right, Maple? Legally bound. It should have, there should have been an or in there, right, to indicate you just need one of those combinations. Instead, the way they phrase it makes it sound like all five have to play and I think it happens like once every four years where all five of those actually no it's not all you can never have all five there's no time of the year all five would

be in season. There is a time of the year in late fall with the MLB playoffs I think where you can have I think it's well maybe you can have four I don't know but you could have a baseball playoff game an NFL regular season game a hockey game and maybe basketball starts at the tail tail end of October so I guess it's potentially possible if like the Cubs and White Sox run the World Series you could cash this in once every 200 years in theory but, you just see one of them presumably for the game day meal deal. 16 inch again this is $46 plus tax tip convenience fee and your firstborn Egyptian or Hebrew son. 16 inch thin crust one topping pizza. So like a good size pepperoni pizza

pizza, so like a good size pepperoni pizza, but again it's average pizza, and 12 wings or regular pasta. 12 wings isn't bad, but you know when you got the bone wings you never get quite as much volume as you're thinking you're gonna get. Regular pasta, do I really need most of the choli on top of my pizza? And then you also get salad and a two liter of pop. So again, if we just want to commit to one, we'll say 16 inch thin crust, one topping pizza, regular pasta, salad, and two liter of pop.

That's $46. I mean, I don't want to break this down too much further into the details, but like two liter of pop, I mean that should be like three bucks from a pizza store. I don't know, I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know.

I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know.

I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know.

I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. 16 inch thin crust pizza's gotta be like, well like 18, 20 bucks. So in theory you're saving like $2 with this game day meal deal off of all the things off and what, I mean, those things individually are probably more than that and I just didn't do the math right. But $46 for a large pizza, a salad, a pasta, and a Coke. I don't know, Maple. I'm getting priced out of this world. I tell you what. Can't even afford kibble anymore. We're just giving you grass from outside and uncooked

white rice. It's brutal. It's brutal out here. This week on the campaign trail, well, we got the VP debate coming up. I think it's Tuesday night, October 1st is the VP debate, which I'm excited for. Apparently, Pete Buttigieg, who is the Secretary of Transportation, I think, he has been portraying JD Vance for Tim Walz's debate preparation. We tried to get Pete on the show. We've got connections. His husband, Chastain, is a DePaul master's degree alum, but to no avail he was busy with debate prep, understandably. And they both, it was it was like trying to win the the hand of the handsome prince, both Trump and Kamala met with Zelensky this

week to carve out their plan for Ukraine. And I don't really know what came out of the Kamala meetings, but apparently Trump said he had a great deal for both sides, which sounds in theory like Ukraine just surrenders and Putin gets what he wants not sure I don't know maple you got any let's do straight interview with the dog part two any thoughts on global politics no what about Woodstock that's better see that's how you talk that's how you do an interview, Maple. It's actually kind of what Woodstock sounds like in real life, too. So that's this week on the campaign trail. Again, we got big, big debate coming up. I

think it's Tuesday is when it is. I think October 1st or is that Monday? Today's the 29th. Oh yeah. I keep thinking today's Saturday. That's depressing. Always depressing when you think it's Saturday instead of Sunday. That's what happens when one of your three just isn't sleeping. You kind of run out of days and times and hours. What I need to help keep me on track is like that, what is it called? In Time movie with Justin Timberlake and Amanda Seyfried. Back when Justin Timberlake was making films,

he do a Beantown podcast, top five Justin Timberlake films. I think that film was called In Time. He has that one with Mila Kunis. It's confusing to me because, you know, there's the two that are like supposedly exactly the same. There's no strings attached. I think that's Ashen Kutcher and Natalie Portman. And then there's Is It Friends with Benefits? It's that Timberlake and Kunis. But it's confusing because Ashen Kutcher and Mila Kunis

are married in real life, and they're both in these films, but they're in the other films. It's not like, oh yeah, they made a film when they were dating or married together. It's like, no, they flip-flopped. Very perplexing. I haven't seen either, which adds compounds to the confoundment.

I don't know if that's the word confoundment. It seems like it should be. I don't know how he got, top five Justin Timberlake. Well, I tell you what, he's not, I don't think he's in the movie, but Trolls World Tour. Can't stop the feeling. Great song, Maple looks pissed.

Not a Timberlake fan. Someone's on Brittany's side in this whole thing. That's been made very clear to me. And just want to mention before we shout out our sponsors and get to our SNL sketches. Just want to mention you know this new Megalopolis movie that came out, Francis Ford Coppola, who I just realized when this film came out that he's still alive I guess I had heard about this film coming out and that it was a Francis Ford Coppola movie I just kind of assumed that they had done like an AI

Animatronic version of Francis Ford Coppola and that he wasn't still alive Considering his biggest movie is the Godfather and that came out 55 ish years ago. You don't really expect the director of that film to still be alive, but he is apparently. And of course he's got the whole family tree, his daughter, he's got Nick Cage, Jason Schwartzman, his nephews. I was looking at the Wikipedia entry for the Coppola family tree and the way it was formatted was so confusing that I gave up. All I can really discern is that his daughter is Sofia Coppola and I think Schwartzman and Cage are both his nephews. Excuse me, but it wasn't entirely clear to me.

entirely clear to me. If you're curious, the $39.99 family meal deal from Rosati, so this is $6 less than the game day meal deal, is also a 16 inch thin crust one topping pizza and the 12 wings or regular pasta so for six dollars less but not bound by a cosmic alignment of Chicago sports teams you just don't get the salad and the two-liter pop I don't know maple this pricing seems wackadoo to me it says women-owned business maybe I don't know Feels like you could just put that we could say Bean Town podcast is women owned and I'll just put Rachel's name on the LLC paperwork. We don't even have LLC paperwork. I can just say she owns it, which would not be good. God forbid in the divorce proceedings in 80 years, right? And we're going to do it. It's going to be 80 years from now if it happens.

And it's going to be to game the tax code, right? Because President Barron Trump Jr. has put in some things that will be very helpful in the tax code for billionaires like Rachel and I. So it makes more sense for us legally to be divorced. So that's coming in 2030... what's 2024 plus 2023-04. That math was really tough. Well, then there are risk addition, risk 2304. Maple, what do you think? I think we played it a handful of times. Can't really tell you too much about it. Meant to be very futuristic.

I want to shout out our sponsors. Home Pride Oregon, when you need your home inspected in central Oregon, go with someone who's safe, someone who's certified, someone you can trust. Call an expert like Steve at 541-410-0316 or email homepardorgan.gmail.com. He's ready. He's ready to do your home. He'll do the plumbing, the electricals, the HVACs. He'll even knock on some cabinets or some banisters.

He might check out your Lazy Susan, for example. We've all heard the horror stories of house sales that get way held up because of a lazy, lazy Susan. Everyone wants a lazy Susan but if she's you know she's squeaking as she turns no one wants that. That's too lazy. You want just like a lazy Susan who does one chore at 8 a.m. and then lounges on the couch. You don't want a lazy Susan who has never cleaned the bathtub before, right? Speaking of bathtub, Maple's first bath yesterday. Did pretty well, lot of hair, but did pretty well.

5404 and 030316, Home Pride Oregon inspection perfection. Of course, it wouldn't be a Sunday morning without the Samson Q2U series. We can do scripture, we can do Torah, we can do Pentateuch, we can do Koran, we can do that spooky Buddhist meditating thing. Soka Kai was the name of the like kind of cult thing that I went to a couple times in Baltimore. Good stuff, good stuff.

Samson Q2U series, when God speaks, he uses a Samson. And then of course our good friends at Cuts by Q. No personal grooming this week other than a neck beard shave, but we now do dogs. We've got a dog brush. We still have steak knife. We still got scissors. We still got electric razor. What do you think, maple? And then get that, get those shears going, shear you like a sheep. Yeah, didn't seem happy about that.

But a nice big brush, we could do that. You like getting brushed. You can get all that and more at Cuts by Q. You can also check out our gallery at beanthelmpodguest.com slash cuts dash by dash Q Cuts by Q. Oh when you need a fresh do something snappy or new just call the experts at cuts by Q guts by Q All right, there she goes still looking for mom

You know maple mom's gonna be gone for three days in Minnesota in a couple weeks here and we're gonna have to have a serious sit down about your separation anxiety. Come here, Maple. I also want to mention Mufasa, The Lion King, only in theaters December 20th, 2024. King only in theaters December 20th 2024. You're whimpering and then I give you the mic so you can share your you're going to express your feelings and emotions. And then you just go camera shy you're killing us you're killing the show. This this could have been a benchmark moment for the Beantown Podcast, an all new co-host. But just what's going on? What's going on here? Mufasa will be in IMAX as well, which is very exciting. I've never been in an IMAX theater before.

I don't know. What do you think they do? You think it's like a full 360 experience? Is it like the Sphere? Or is it just a really wide screen? I don't know. I've never been in an IMAX before, but I might have to go for Mufasa, the lion king. Bring your dogs, dress them up as lion cubs. Receive, we'll make this a Rosati's type deal, receive 5% off your popcorn. Okay, what do you think about that? That could be pretty good.

Come here, Maple. Come on. Why are you whining just now? Okay, what do you think about that? That could be pretty good. Come here, Maple. Come on. Why are you whining just now? You were just lying down in your crate so good. Maple? Come here. Hey, we got Woodstock. Look. Yeah, Woodstock wants you to lie down. Yeah, that's nice. Why would you whimper and cry when you can be in your nice crate? There's even still some leftover rice in there you can eat.

This stuff's kind of hard. But there's fresh one from this morning. Okay, so SNL, we got like 10 minutes left to get through here, Maple. You think you can hold strong? Then we'll go out, okay? We'll go potty. SNL season 50 premiered last night. Jean Smart as the host, who I really don't know very well. I guess her thing right now is hacks, which I don't know anything about.

But we've actually, I think probably like the one reason I actually do know her is because we're watching Fargo season two right now. I mean, it came out five years ago. But Gene Smart plays the matriarch of the Gerhard Klein family. And we're enjoying it. We've got three or four episodes left here. It's the Jesse Plemons, Kirsten Dunst season. I'm excited for season three because it's

the Ewan McGregor season where he plays twins which certainly won't be confusing I'm sure. But so Gene Smart hosted I guess the musical guest with a guy named Jelly Roll it was not Jelly Roll Morton. When I first heard Jelly Roll was the musical guest I thought oh this has got to be some sort of Francis Ford Coppola, you know, AI generated Jelly Roll Morton kind of thing. But it wasn't. If you don't know Jelly Roll Morton lived from 1890 to 1941. I definitely did not have to Google those dates. He was a American ragtime and jazz pianist, band leader, and composer of Louisiana Creole descent. Morton was jazz's first arranger, proving that a genre rooted in improv could retain its essential

characteristics when notated. His composition Jelly Roll Blues was one of the first published jazz compositions. He also claimed to have invented the genre. He's got a big toothy grin on his Wikipedia page. Also wrote Wolverine Blues, Black Bottom Stomp. So there you go, you learned something new. But that was not who was on SNL last night. It was Jelly Roll Morton. You know what's really frustrating? I wrote down a trivia question for this week's episode

in our notes and completely wiped out. I don't know where it went. Now we gotta think of a trivia question on the fly. That's gonna be tough, Maple. Tough, tough, tough. I don't know. How about... Let's just do this now while I'm while I'm fresh. I'm thinking about it. Name the two US state capitals that are named after the first European to I I don't know, not even first European, I don't want to give his name away. 1492, that guy, okay? Name the two US state capitals that are named after that guy. And I think there's just two.

I will try to rack my brain while also tending to Maple to try to see if there are others. If you need more time, go ahead and pause. If you figure out a third or even a fourth or a tenth, let us know as well. I'm fairly certain the answer would be Columbus, Ohio, and Columbia, South Carolina. I can't think of any others that would be named after our good friend and mass murderer, Christopher Columbus.

So there you go. Apologies for the half-assed trivia question. I had something and I just don't remember what it was. I did just want to briefly share some of my, I don't even know exactly how to characterize this, but I would just say these are SNL sketches. I don't think that they're the 10 greatest of all time. I don't even know if they're my 10 favorite of all time, but I was really just kind of sitting there preparing for the show knowing I wanted to mention this. And I I was like what are 10 sketches I can watch anytime just pull them up on YouTube or wherever to be to be TV and they will never disappoint me. Number one I think this

is my all-time favorite SNL sketch of all time it is is the Hugh Laurie Christmas episode. There's a great Christmas dinner sketch Don't mind we're talking about Christmas. You like Christmas It's Hugh Laurie, it's Kristen Wiig Will Forte, Sudeikis and Shoot, what is her name? Oh man. Dead Air. Is it Vanessa? No, it's not Vanessa Bear.

SNL Christmas Dinner. She wasn't on for terribly long, but she was pretty funny. SNL Christmas Dinner. Hugh Laurie. Did I mention Bill Hader's in it as well? Oh, he's not. Well, that's embarrassing. Yeah. Well, we don't know what her name is, but it's okay. It's just this is where, oh, Casey Wilson, that's her name. This is where I wish I could pause with this recording software. It seems like a basic thing to be able to do to pause,

right? But no. Once the show starts rolling, it doesn't stop. And we just put out whatever we got. That's my commitment to you. It's a great sketch. It is the ultimate display of passive aggression or passive aggressiveness. It's the holidays, right? It's supposed to be warm and fuzzy feelings. And there's just a lot of angst in the air And it just hits too close to home, so Maple something it hits close to you close home close to home for you, too. There's a lot of whimpering happening right now Christmas dinner Hugh Laurie my all-time favorite next up recency bias

But this one is so stupid It just makes me laugh every time the crazy thing is it didn't even make it to air they cut it the Lee Lee Moo Why is the name Lee Moo Lee Moo emu and Doug? For whatever the name of the insurance company is I don't even know is that nationwide. I'm not sure but it's What's his name, the controversial guy who just hosted last season. Boy, the mind is not firing.

Is it today? Maple. Limuimusnl. What is this guy's name? You know what, I'm not even going to, I'm not not even gonna, Shane Gillis, I was about to say I'm not even gonna waste my time going through all this and trying to come up with names that I clearly can't remember, but if you haven't seen it, because it didn't air when it was live, you gotta go on YouTube and watch it, and it's the two of them and things get

a little bit hairy when, Lemu's got a little bit of a quick trigger pull and there's some cover-ups that have to happen. It's just one of those off-the-rails very like Tim Robinson inspired kind of sketch that is just I can't think about without giggling. Number three this is also relatively recent. I think this was maybe two or three years ago. Kirsten Wigg came back to host. So this wasn't when she was a cast member, but there is a great, this is another kind of hit close to home kind of sketch.

It's Kirsten Wigg and Will Ferrell and then their two kids. I think it's like Dismukes and Chloe Feynman or something. Mikey Day, I can't remember. And they're at a pizza parlor having supper, and they're shooting a commercial for this pizza parlor to get some quick sound bites. Oh, this pizza's awesome. Wow, this really brings the family together,

that sort of thing. Kirsten Wiig is overly excited at the start, and she makes some sort of pseudo-sexual comment about how it's making her feel. And then the kids are like overreacting like gross, ew. And then she just completely shuts down. And it's just another thing that hits close to home. You know, sometimes you just have those sketches that you relate to perfectly and it's just... I can watch it and I feel a little bit of peace being able to laugh at the last 30 years of life.

Right, Maple? Next up, this is from maybe 20-ish years ago. Jeffreece with Jimmy Fallon and Sean Hayes. I am not even a Jimmy Fallon guy really, but he's got some iconic sketches. We didn't have Cowbell included in here or nor did we have Debbie Downer, some of my other favorite Jimmy Fallon sketches that he's in. But the Jeffreeze, it's a high end clothing store luxury and Sean Hayes and Jimmy Fallon are playing these uptight hoity-toity store associates and they're folding clothes and people are coming in and

asking what are perceived to be stupid questions. And Jimmy Fallon and Sean Hayes are just not having it. It's a relatively funny sketch. And then the top gets blown off when Will Ferrell rides in from the back wearing these sunglasses on his motorized scooter. Then he answers the world's tiniest cell phone and he's like, we have to go to Paris. And Jimmy Fallon and Sean Hayes just completely lose it. They crack up and it is just, it's a sketch that goes from like okay yeah this is kind of funny

this is interesting too i can't stop laughing for the last 60 seconds and it brings a large smile to my face just thinking about it if you don't know it because this isn't i don't you know this isn't considered to be like an iconic snl sketch or anything like that and it's relatively old at this point but you gotta go watch it when when Will Ferrell enters it just... I don't... I crack up more than just about anything else in life. Next up, a classic commercial. There's been a lot of them over the years. Actually we'll do these two together. I have two commercials on here. Jar Glove, another great Kirsten Wigg sketch. It's a great parody of the 3am infomercial,

but wait there's more. And it involves a housewife not being able to open a jar and ends up with her escaping prison and on the run from the cops. And there's a lot that happens in between. So that's Jar Glove, gotta go check it out. And then another classic commercial, and there's been so many over the years, but Taco Town, very young, Sudeikis, Hader, Sandburg. It's gotta be what, like 2006, 2007, something like that. Great take on a commercial, great take on American consumerism.

Although I heard on Wait, Wait, Don't tell me this week this week that portion sizes are apparently coming down at your standard chains, Olive Gardens. Excuse me, Rosadies maybe. I know this time next year, they're going to send me a game day meal day coupon for 49.99. It's going to be a 12 inch pizza and a mozzarella stick not an order of mozzarella sticks just a mozzarella stick for 50 dollars now that's quality taco town it

just gets bigger and bigger i mean you got tacos you got blueberry pancakes you got um the corn husks from tamales it's deep fried they walk out of there in giant tote bags. It's just, it's hard to beat. That's Taco Town. An all-time favorite growing up that actually inspired a costume at a home school dance, which is just a great, great context, is the Bill Clinton at McDonald's sketch. He's running, he's jogging, he's got a Secret Service guys, Kevin Nealon and Tim Meadows. Rest in peace to Phil Hartman. Great Clinton impression. And he's talking about the famine, the war in, what is it, Ethiopia, Somalia?

Can't remember. And I don't know how much Phil Hartman actually consumed in that six minute sketch, but it felt like he had a lot of nuggies, diet coke. He got Rob Schneider in there playing the manager before he went off the rails. Maybe Schneider was always off the rails and we just didn't know it. But it's just an all-time classic. You got Chris Farley in there Good stuff Clinton jogging at McDonald's racing to the Pizza Hut good stuff Punk band at a wedding a little bit more modern a great Fred Armisen sketch

We already mentioned Ashton Kutcher once on the show But it's you know Fred Armisen father the bride wants to play a special song and his daughter's wedding It's a great setup and he brings the guys up Dave Grohl on drums Ashton Kutcher on guitar Bill Hader on bass Fred Armisen lead singer and it's just so good because not only is it just insane and they trash the place but Fred Armisen has such a good understanding of the punk scene that it just works so perfectly. So yeah, punk band at the wedding. The lyrics are perfect. Hell of a sketch. We got two more here. Speaking of Fred Armisen, the Bejellin Brothers. This is the most- this is the stupidest one on here.

This is the one where you'll watch and be like what what is Quinn Spokie this isn't that funny but it's Fred Armisen it's Bryan Cranston and Jason Sudeikis on drums in the back they're playing you know an empty Target Center up in Minneapolis and it's just it's one of those sketches that is you know twice as long as it should be but it's that's the point it's you know there's a lot of SNL sketches that go on too long you know like they should just end it this year this one is long and that's why it's funny because it just keeps going and you're like what what's happening if you don't recall fred armisen and brad kranz and to sing the same song over and over again. I sent a bottle of sparkling apple juice to your house.

Did you get it? And they've got these great, you know, shiny, shiny kind of vests on, suit coats on, suit jackets. And it's just everyone's been to a really bad county fair street festival performance with two guys like this and you're just like How are you guys still making? Making a living That's the bajalin brothers and then finally I Mean there's a million more we could we could mention

There's certainly been snubs certainly ones that I like that I just I'm not gonna talk about for time sake But what up with that? So iconic, so formulaic, but it works because of Kenan's energy. It works because you know, Fred Armisen and Zedekes, they leaned into their characters so well, the whole Lindsay Buckingham situation. And it's just, you know, there's like three different dance And it's just, you know, there's like three different dance slash music numbers in it where you can introduce new ridiculous characters Ultimate creativity. There's no bad idea. You can put anyone out there and it's just it's silly What up with that recurring sketch is that my only recurring sketch on here? I think so

Well, Jeffries might have been recurring. I can't remember but there you go. What up with that? Ooh, what up with that? What up with that? There you go. There those are 10 SNL sketches.
