5 Of The Most Underrated SNL Sketches
Huffington Post

Some of Saturday Night Live's sketches are iconic and are watched for years after it was premiered. Sketches like "Schweddy Balls", starring Alec Baldwin, or "Dick in a Box" starring Andy Samberg and Justin Timberlake are some of the shows most famous, but there are so many other funny sketches from the show's 43 years on air that are not as recognized and are definitely under appreciated. Here are five skits from SNL that you either have not seen or forgot about:

1. Bathroom Businessman

This sketch is a public service announcement for decency to tell people it is disgusting to work in the bathroom. In the skit, Kenan Thompson is a businessman with a portable office that he sets up in bathroom stalls. He increases his efficiency by working on the toilet, but ultimately faces a problem when he sets up his office space, but can not get to the toilet to sit down.

2. One Direction's #1 Fan


In this hilarious sketch, which is not even on the NBC website anymore, host, Paul Rudd, plays a man named Dan Charles, who claims to be the number one fan of boyband One Direction. Charles is the oldest person and only male in a crowd of little girls waiting to get a glimpse of the band. During the skit Charles proves to the girls that he knows more facts about the band and each individual member, Niall Horan, Liam Payne, Harry Styles, Louis Tomlinson and, at the time, Zayn Malik. Even when he gets a phone call from his wife saying that she gave birth, Charles stays in the crowd. When the band finally makes an appearance, Charles catches their attention and asks the boys for an autograph, which they assume is for his daughter. This skit is definitely a must see.

3. SNL Digital Short: United Way


This digital short is a public service announcement for United Way, in which NFL star Peyton Manning volunteers with a youth group, but exhibits poor behavior. Instead of encouraging kids to get involved and be active, Manning treats the football activities as if they were playing a professional game. He also does extra things with the kids, including, but not limited to, teaching them how to break into a car, having a drink with them and forcing one kid to get a tattoo of his face.

4. Monologue: Drake's Bar Mitzvah


While this is not a sketch, Drake's monologue from the first time he hosted the show in 2014 is extremely funny. In the monologue, Drake reminisces about his bar mitzvah and celebrating with his Jewish mother's family and his Black father's family. He hilariously raps about balling like LeBron and knowing what a W-2 is!

5. Drake's Beef


Another SNL sketch starring Drake that is underrated is this digital short, in which Drake has had enough of the SNL cast being rude to him, which leads him to doing a remix of his song 'Back to Back' about them.

There are so many SNL sketches that are under appreciated, but hopefully this will give you an opportunity to see some sketches that you haven't seen before.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
