Line 358:
* [[Why Do You Keep Changing Jobs?]]: Mr. Sluggo.
* [[Wild Card Excuse]]: The Coneheads handwave their weirdness by claiming to be from France.
* [[Word Association Test]]: The seventh episode of Season 1, hosted by [[Richard Pryor]], had a sketch in which a prospective black employee (Pryor) is interviewed by a white boss (Chevy Chase). Everything goes normally until partway through the test, when Chase breaks out the black racial epithets. Pryor counters with white racial epithets until Chase uses the N-word and Pryor calls him a "'''dead honky'''". {{spoiler|(In the end, Pryor's character gets the job.)}} It should be noted that this sketch was cited (by Tina Fey, on a Season 31 episode that aired on the same day Richard Pryor died) as the sketch that solidified ''SNL''{{'}}s reputation as the "edgy, outrageous late-night sketch show".
* [[The Worst Seat in the House]]: There was a sketch on an episode hosted by Derek Jeter of the New York Yankees where Jeter in drag and the women of ''SNL'' played the wives and girlfriends of the players...and sat in the nosebleed seats.
** Another sketch from the early 1990s had four friends attending a Van Morrison concert, with one of the characters being stuck behind the one person in the crowd who would rather stand out of her seat and dance, thus blocking the character's view of the stage. After several failed attempts at trying to look around the woman and asking her politely to sit, the character admits defeat and decides to be content with having to miss seeing most of the concert. The segment ends with another song beginning and ''everyone'' in the audience getting up from their seat to enjoy the music.
