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:
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.
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!
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.
