The 9 Best Saturday Night Live Sketches This Season
Like all things in life, Saturday Night Live sketches are subjective. Even so, most viewers would agree that the show's 35th season has gone from eh (Taylor Swift and January Jones, anyone?) to actually good, thanks to some of the strongest comediennes in the business -- a shame, really, since the season ends tomorrow. Still, before Alec Baldwin closes down Studio 8H, let's remember the highlights that Lorne Michaels gave us this year.
9. "Mike's Marbleopolis" (Host: Ryan Reynolds)
Special guest star Scarlett Johansson added a much-needed burst of energy to her husband's episode in this commercial for "mah-ble cah-lumns."

Marble Columns, amazing as it may be, is a three-year-old bit.
I'd nominate:
1) "So you committed a crime… and you think you can dance?" w/ Ryan Reynolds as the aussie dance coach/coreographer, and Andy Samberg as math-deficient Kevin Federline.

and
2) "The Jammy Shuffle w/ the Tizzle Wizzle Gang" w/ James Franco. Pajamas + murder, what's not to love?

"Jay Leno Walking w/ Ravish" wipes the floor w/ Leno's actual Jaywalking torture:

This skit would have been close to perfect if the tree hadn't "talked" at the end:

And of course the 1st "What's up With That":

I loved the wedding reception where dad Fred Armison and his "band" reunited.
No No No....Incomplete without the BEST sketch and series of the season, "What Up with That?" On the episode with Joseph Gordon Levitt and Featuring Al Gore

Gerard Butler was one of the best hosts this season, right up there with Zach.The Spartans bit was as funny as anything they've done in recent memory. Last night was abysmal. Alec Baldwin was horrible--looking off stage for every sketch just reading his lines. The material was so bad, I don't think any actor could have saved it.
Thanks for using Hulu instead of something Canadians can use. Much appreciated. I'll just trot over to YouTube to figure out what this article is all about, shall I?
Agree with this commenter. Think you meant PORCELAIN FOUNTAINS from the Ryan Reynolds ep. Aside from that, great list! We both had PAGEANT TALK as our #1.
Honestly, I thought the best sketch of the season was the Hip Hop kids. Andy cracked me up... "Because of our behavior, yo!"
Videos can only be seen in the US = USELESS
Hey, I remember the 90's when the Internet wasn't necessarily worldwide. GET A FUCKING CLUE, MORONS! IT'S 2010!
