* [[Actor Allusion]] / [[Celebrity Paradox]] / [[Hypocritical Humor]] / [[Take That Me]]: On the Season 22 episode hosted by Robert Downey Jr., there was a parody sketch of 1970s crime dramas where a detective (Norm MacDonald) finds a bag of heroin and asks "What kind of creep needs this junk to get through the day?" His partner (Downey, who at the time was notorious for his drug problems and missed a week of rehab just to come back and host) then goes on a tirade about how horrible drug abusers are, whether they're famous or not. Need we remind anyone that it's 1990s Downey saying this for laughs?
** The monologue of this episode even had Downey show his vacation pictures, which included him accepting a package from a drug dealer, him getting arrested, him sharing a jail cell with a [[Scary Black Man]] who [[Prison Rape|wants a kiss from him]], him visiting Disneyland while in handcuffs, and a photo of a crashed car (which he identifies as a photo from Kelsey Grammer's summer vacation).
** There was also the sketch where [[Justin Timberlake]] played his own Irish ancestor, talking about how some day, one of his descendants will be a big star.
{{quote|'''Timberlake''': I'd like to think that, at first, he'd date a [[Britney Spears|popular female singer]]. Publically, they'll claim to be virgins, but privately... he hit it.}}
* [[Hey, It's That Guy!]] / [[Retroactive Recognition]]: Did you know that [[Gilbert Gottfried]] was a cast member? How about Anthony Michael Hall (''SNL'''s youngest cast member at 17 years old), [[The Simpsons|Harry Shearer]], Randy Quaid, Robert Downey Jr., Joan Cusack, [[Sarah Silverman]], [[Janeane Garofalo]], Julia Louis-Dreyfus, and Damon Wayans?
** ''[[Mad TV]]'' fans might be surprised to discover that Jeff Richards and Taran Killam (two feature players who only spent one year on ''MADtv'' before leaving) were/are on this show. Jeff Richards was on ''[[Mad TV]]'' from 2000-01 before crossing over to ''SNL'', where he stayed from 2001 to the early half of 2004. Taran Killam also appeared on ''MADtv'' in 2001 (becoming the youngest cast member on that show at age 19) and was let go a year later. Nine years after appearing on ''MADtv'', he became one of four new feature players for ''SNL''.
