...LIVE FROM TV TROPES, it's SATURDAY NIIIIIIIIIIGHT!
The following SNL memes have not been ready for prime time since the mid-70s.
- Any combination of characters in a car, edited to headbopping to "What is Love" as per the SNL skits about the Roxbury Guys; the one with Jim Carrey joining them is apparently the best known.
- Then there's the whole "Dear Sister" meme, which started as a Saturday Night Live spoof of the ending to the third season finale of The OC. Just depict someone dying violently (particularly by gunshot), slow down the scene for maximum HSQ, and play the "Mmm, whatcha say?" portion of Imogen Heap's "Hide and Seek", and BAM! Instant funny.
- At its various peaks of comedy, SNL is practically a meme generator, as the popularity of "Lazy Sunday" (a rap by two white kids going to see Narnia, pictured above), "Needs more cowbell," and Justin Timberlake's "Dick in a Box" (Um... Exactly What It Says on the Tin) would attest.
- Last week, I saw a film. As I recall, it was a horror film. Walked outside into the rain, checked my phone and I saw you rang and I JIZZED IN MY PANTS
- "I'm on a BOAT!"
- I THREW IT ON THE GROUND! I'M NOT A PART OF YOUR SYSTEM! MAAAAAAAAAN!
- I've frequently not been on boats.
- No. What you've been, is not on boats.
- "Like a BOSS!"
- Guess what!? This trope has a fever, and the only prescription...is more cowbell!
- We are going to pump * clap* you up!
- Don't forget Norm MacDonald's continuing hypothesis: Germans Love David Hasselhoff.
- You guessed it. Frank Stallone!
- Makin' copies...
- Well isn't that special?
- Could it be...SATAN!? [1]
- We are from France.
- Well, you know how, every year, (insert much-hated sports team of choice) comes in with impressive stats and all the hype, and, every year, they.. fizzle out!
- (pompously) Ladies and gentlemen of the City Council, I'm just a caveman. Your world frightens and confuses me. When I see your tall buildings and flashing neon signs, sometimes I just want to get away as fast as I can, to my place in Martha's Vineyard and when I see a solar eclipse...I think "Oh no, is the moon eating the sun?" ...because I'm a caveman...but there is one thing I do know. The new resort housing development proposed by my partners and myself, will include more than adequate greenbelts for recreation and aesthetic enhancement. Thank you. (smug grin)
- "Well, excuuuuuuse me!"
- REEEALLY.
- "Along comes Debbie Downer!" Wah-wah...
- Do not taunt Happy Fun Ball.
- Come Christmas time, no one can resist my Schwety Balls.
- ...When you're living in a van down by the river!
- "I can see Russia from my house!" (Tina Fey as Sarah Palin)
- Practically anything Tina Fey as Sarah Palin says.
- In the future, there was a nuclear war. And because of all the radiation, cats developed the ability to shoot lasers out of their mouths. Some will use the cats for good, others for evil. Who will win in a world of.... LASER CATS?! [2]
- NOT A BLOODY DRAGON, RINGO! COME ON!
- Again, you're welcome.
- She's chopping broccoli! She's chopping broccoli!
- And robots are strong. Because they're made of metal.
- Oops! I Crapped My Pants holds a lot of dung!
- All I want is some Hi-C and some toikey!
- Generallisimo Francisco Franco is still dead!
- Jane, you ignorant slut.
- Discussions of DA BEARS! and Mike Ditka as a Memetic Badass. (When Ditka left Chicago, they continued with a sketch about the fictional Bill Braske, continuing the same joke)
- Stefon's characteristic antsy hand movements and weird looping muttering.
- The Weekend Update closers. Includes:
- Suck it, Trebek! [8]
- It's prrrrretty cool! [9]
...anyway, we've got a great show tonight! Trope-tan and the Wiki Witch are here, so stick around, we'll be right back!
- ↑ both of the above are catch-phrases of Dana Carvey's "Church Lady" character.
- ↑ The opening to the Stylistic Suck running sketch "LASER CATS" and its sequels.
- ↑ Chevy Chase, Jane Curtin, Tina Fey, Amy Poehler
- ↑ Dennis Miller
- ↑ Kevin Nealon
- ↑ Norm McDonald
- ↑ Colin Quinn
- ↑ A recurring line in Celebrity Jeopardy with Sean Connery constantly taunting Alex Trebek.
- ↑ The Catch Phrase Vanessa Bayer uses in her impersonation of Miley in the "Miley Cyrus Show" sketch. It helps that it's become an Ascended Meme due to Miley (and sometimes her little sister Noah) quoting from it on Twitter and YouTube.
