Line 195:
* [[Cut Himself Shaving]]: The "Tiger Woods Press Conference" sketch on the Blake Lively/Rihanna episode where every time Woods (Kenan Thompson) apologized for his affairs, something he said or something that happened (like his cell phone ringing or saying that [[Does This Remind You of Anything?|he can "get rid of this old thing and get a new model"]] ([[Don't Explain the Joke|referring to his damaged car, not his wife]]) would get him beaten by his wife, Elin (Blake Lively) and he would explain away the injuries as an accident (Woods even uses the old excuse that he "fell down the stairs").
* [[Dada Ad]]: Some of their fake commercials are parodies of this.
* [[Dawson Casting]]: Many sketches in which the cast members play teens or even children. Obviously unavoidable, but it has become prevalent in more recent seasons where most of the cast members currently hired were born after ''SNL'' premiered in 1975 (starting with Kenan Thompson).
** One of Amy Poehler's recurring characters was Kaitlin, who is supposed to be ten years old ([[Not Allowed to Grow Up|and remained that age for several years]]).
* [[Dead Baby Comedy]]: A lot of the jokes from Weekend Update (particularly the Dennis Miller, Norm McDonald, Colin Quinn, and Seth Meyers {with and without Amy Poehler} eras) can have really brutal or disgusting punchlines, but they still get laughs. A lot of the sketches can come across this way, too. Case in point — the "Canteen Boy Gets Molested" sketch from Season 19.
** ''[[Mad TV]]'', being ''SNL'''s adversary, of course amped these [[Up to Eleven]].
