Best of SNL 35,348 views 20 items 87 voters

The best Saturday Night Live sketches of the 1990s featured some of the best to ever appear on the long-running comedy show, doing what they do best, making people laugh. The 1990s ushered out one era of top performers like Adam Sandler, David Spade, Mike Meyers and Dana Carvey, and welcomed a new crew with the likes of Will Ferrell, Chris Kattan and Molly Shannon, with both providing some of the funniest sketches to ever appear on SNL.

From the classic Wayne's World and Church Lady skits to the unforgettable moments like the living in a van down by the river routine, the best SNL sketches from the 1990s easily rival that of any other era on the show.

Bill Swerkski's Super Fans

Featuring a well-fed bunch of Chicago sports enthusiasts, the Bill Swerski's Superfans was perhaps the best sports-themed sketch of the 1990s on Saturday Night Live. Mike Meyers, Chris Farley, Robert Smigel, George Wendt and a number of guests like Joe Mantegna appeared in the sketch as they drank beer and talked about "da Bearss" and "da Bullss" from their favorite bar, Mike Dikta's.

Sprockets

sprockets germany's most disturbing videos by pentakatharidis
In yet another sketch featuring Mike Meyers, Sprockets featured main character Dieter, an effeminate German who enjoyed tight black leotards and wire-rimmed glasses. After urging fans to "touch my monkey," mocking his boring guests and showing Germany's most disturbing videos, Dieter would end each sketch frantically with techno-dancing.

The Chris Farley Show

Appearing as a never-prepared talk show host, Chris Farley interviewed a number of celebrities, generally the weekly Saturday Night Live host, on The Chris Farley Show. Farley was nervous at all times, constantly doubting himself and asking elementary questions, many of which asked the guest if they "remembered when" they appeared in film scenes.

Simon

Spoofing a BBC television program, Mike Meyers appeared in the recurring Simon sketches as the title character. Simon filmed his show from the most-reasonable place for a young boy, the bathtub. Simon liked to "do drawings" and share his bath with a variety of characters while uttering his catch phrases such as "cheeky monkeys" and "bum lookers."

So many to try and remember so easy to see how you missed some greats. My favorite of the decade was Amazing Time Savers with Heather Locklear and Mike Myers.
