Gilda Radner's cool but it's not like she's the GOAT
― Alex in Baltimore, Friday, 28 March 2008 18:45 (eighteen years ago)
Meadows was pretty funny in Walk Hard

I gotta say - I got the first season of SNL DVDs as a gift (totally unasked for, I might add) and was watching them and uh, the lolz are pretty few and far between. Chevy Chase is actually consistently the funniest. If anything makes watching it worthwhile, its the musical performances.
― Shakey Mo Collier, Friday, 28 March 2008 18:49 (eighteen years ago)
yer right, Canadian, it was best when it wasn't on the air yet and Aykroyd was at Second City
(Shakey, the 2nd season is better)

actually funniest thing in the first season is Paul Simon beating Connie Hawkins in one-on-one
I'm sorry but I think Kevin Nealon is way funnier than Gilda Radner.
― nickalicious, Friday, 28 March 2008 18:53 (eighteen years ago)
Although now that I think about it I probably mean Doug from Weeds Kevin Nealon rather than SNL Kevin Nealon.
morbs, does 30 Rock register on your hate scale?
― Jordan, Friday, 28 March 2008 18:54 (eighteen years ago)
I've never seen 30 Rock.
we are not talking about post-SNL movies, stoner idiots.
also what kind of hippie parents let kids stay up til 1 a.m.? No wonder you think bad Batman movies are comedy gold.
Paul Simon beating Connie Hawkins in one-on-one
This was the first SNL I watched.

who mentioned SNL movies?
― Jordan, Friday, 28 March 2008 18:57 (eighteen years ago)
first SNL I saw was when I was 12-13 and it was re-runs shown during the day
― Shakey Mo Collier, Friday, 28 March 2008 18:58 (eighteen years ago)
i grew up w/my dad sitting me down to watch the chevy chase/steve martin best ofs
― BIG HOOS aka the steendriver, Friday, 28 March 2008 19:01 (eighteen years ago)
xp: ok nickalish said Weeds, non-SNL project.
― Dr Morbius, Friday, 28 March 2008 19:01 (eighteen years ago)
I get it, whatever original-cast SNL archives you watched when you were 12 was the best.
(and yes, SCTV was better)
― Dr Morbius, Friday, 28 March 2008 19:02 (eighteen years ago)
also what kind of hippie parents let kids stay up til 1 a.m.?
It's midnight central time. Also, the first SNL I remember watching all the way through was with my parents on NYE 1988 (I was 9), which was mildly embarrassing since it contained the infamous "nude beach" sketch with Matthew Broderick.
I did started watching it regularly at age 12, though. Kids in 7th grade would definitely talk about SNL skits on the bus or in homeroom on Monday morning.

Different, equally beautiful YouTube compliation: Cheesy ice references in Batman & Robin.
As for the poll, tough choosing between horrible ice puns by themselves, and really gratuitous, awkward jokes (eg the dinosaurs thing). This has a certain rambling, disjointed majesty about it:
"Surprise, I am your new cell mate. And I'm here to make your life a living hell. Prepare for a bitter harvest. Winter has come at last."
In the end, though, it has to be "Everybody chill!" which is especially great because it's an ice pun to a phrase nobody actually uses. Like, have you, or people around you, ever actually proclaimed "Everybody chill!"? So great!

If only he had taken his lessons from another, somewhat greater Arnold performance:
John Connor: Yeah. Or, "Later dickwad." If someone gets upset you say, "Chill out." Or you can do combinations. The Terminator: Chill out, dickwad.

"I need to get more diamonds, from my hideout." 3
I've never actually heard this line uttered but it's pretty fantastic sitting there on the page. The comma makes it work.
― Doctor Casino, Monday, 31 March 2008 23:04 (eighteen years ago)
That and the unnecessariness of the second clause. Of course he keeps his diamonds in his hideout.

"Allow me to break the ice. My name is Freeze. Learn it well. For it's the chilling sound of your doom."
this one amuses me because it's so belabored yet it scares absolutely no one
― latebloomer, Monday, 31 March 2008 23:10 (eighteen years ago)
and arnold's delivery of it just makes it even more unwieldy and ridiculous sounding
