The Alan was the moment I knew Bill Hader was my favorite person. I was bingeing a lot of SNL on YouTube, and when I made it to Bill doing a silly dance in a glass case, it was over. I was hooked. That summer when @billhaderdancin took Instagram and Twitter by storm with a GIF from The Alan was the best summer of my life.

I always laugh when the little boy proudly displays his new ring going, "I won" or when the little girl stages the dramatic scene sending the kids off to boarding school.

"New Bachelorette" with Sasheer Zamata playing Rachel Lindsay! It makes fun of the awkward white contestants trying to talk about race (v cringey and accurate) and just the fact that it took ABC basically a decade to cast a black lead 😑.

A Harry Styles sketch where he plays the popular younger brother and Kyle Mooney plays the "nerdy" older brother who isn’t as cool. Kyle raps about how much he hates him — soooo fucking funny LOL.

The Wrangler Peek-a-boo commercial from last year! I've seen it so many times, and I almost wonder if they actually cut it because of its risqué content rather than for time.

It is the best cut-for-time video, not only do Kate McKinnon, Aidy Bryant, and Tina Fey do a great job singing, but Nicki’s rap is iconic.

Charles Barkley is such an underrated guest host and that sketch makes me belly laugh. The comedic timing is gold and the rest of the cast, like Kenan Thompson as Goba, is perfect.
