(added trope)
Line 227:
* [[Lounge Lizard]]: Bill Murray's Nick the Lounge Singer, who may have been the [[Trope Codifier]] for the stereotypical lounge singer.
* [[Mercy Kill]]: In a sketch making fun of Gov. Rick Perry's blanking during a debate, Mitt Romney comes over and tries to shoot Perry through the head in a [[Homage]] / [[Parody]] of ''[[Of Mice and Men]]''. [[Hard Head|The bullet bounces off.]]
* [[Mid-Atlantic Accent]]: Jon Lovitz' character "Master Thespian" spoke in a particularly [[Large Ham|hammy]] version of this.
* [[Mondegreen]]: Invoked and [[Played for Laughs]] in a parody of VH-1's "Don't Forget The Lyrics," in which a contestant (played by season 36 episode host Jesse Eisenberg) mangles popular song lyrics (see [http://snltranscripts.jt.org/10/10mlyrics.phtml this transcript]).
* [[Ms. Fanservice]]: Played straight (and lampshaded a few times) with Victoria Jackson's appearances on the mid-1980s Weekend Update with Dennis Miller, where she did headstands, bent over backwards, or danced on the Weekend Update desk in high heels, pantyhose, and a skirt. Parodied with Kristen Wiig's Shana character who, despite being a drop-dead gorgeous redhead with a cooing baby-voice, has a lot of...unfortunate internal bodily issues.
