I Ranked The 25 "SNL" Sketches That Made Me Laugh The Hardest Since 2013

"Any questions?"

"And live from New York. It's Saturday Night!" I selected 25 of the funniest SNL sketches from the past decade and ranked them. Here is my final verdict:

(I chose to omit cold openings and weekend update segments, but Melissa McCarthy as Spicey would have been very high on the list.)

25. "Gemma with Dwayne Johnson 2"

NBC

Everyone's excellent in this sketch, but Vanessa Bayer flies under the radar with passive reactions to the chaos around her. You feel bad for her because we all know a couple like Gemma and her boyfriend.

Favorite line: "Hey, Gene, duck!"

24. "Love at First Sight"

NBC

Chance the Rapper is one of the most underrated SNL hosts, and while other sketches could have made the list, nothing tops his chemistry with Cecily Strong in this wonderfully absurd skit with some great physical comedy.

Favorite line: "They're just jealous of me." "And me, too." "Sure."

23. "Lisa from Temecula"

NBC

Lisa is getting the short end of the stick on this list because it's such a new sketch. From the physical comedy to Ego Nwodim's blunt portrayal of Lisa, the sketch is a home run. This one has several character breaks, but it fits with the chaotic nature of the sketch.

Favorite line: "Cook my meat."

22. "Santa Baby"

NBC

Ryan Gosling kills the pre-recorded sketches, and it was a close call between this one and "Papyrus," but as you'll see from the rest of the list, this aligns with my comedy palette. The surprise appearance at the end is the perfect ribbon on this Christmas sketch.

Favorite line: "Then how the f*ck did Santa get here?"

21. "Girl at a Bar"

NBC

Some famous SNL skits that try to be topical fall flat, but this ridiculous sketch of progressive men approaching a woman at the bar works exceptionally well. Each guy somehow manages to outdo the guy before them, and Aidy Bryant comes in as the perfect closer.

Favorite line: "I followed all the rules!"

20. "A Christmas Epiphany"

NBC

This one is all about the payoff. Wire-to-wire, the sketch isn't perfect, but the reveal is a hilarious take on an overdone movie trope.

Favorite line: "How can I relax when there is a pervert lurking in our window."

19. "Del Taco Shoot"

NBC

If I was ranking this list based solely on ridiculousness, this Adam Driver sketch takes the cake. Annoying? Yes. Memorable? Absolutely. Watch it, and it will be stuck in your head all day.

Favorite line: "No, you're not a pervert!"

18. "Diner Lobster"

NBC

I'm a sucker for both Les Mis and Kenan Thompson. Give me Kenan in a giant lobster costume singing, "Who am I?" Now we have magic. The skit has John Mulaney written all over it, and I can't fault him for carrying out his Broadway aspirations on SNL.

Favorite line: "Who am I?"

17. "The Actress"

NBC

Emma Stone deserves some award for this performance, and I'm sure her character would break down in tears hearing me say that. Not the funniest sketch, but the character work makes it memorable.

Favorite line: "Whoops. Lube."

15. "Courtroom"

NBC

Donald Glover's performance...*chef's kiss*. You are doing something right if you can manage for Kenan to break. "The dinosaurs always get out."

Favorite line: "Well, then move your friend Scott's blood around with your finger until you can read it."

Favorite line: 

14. "Totino's with Kristen Stewart"

NBC

I know people love the "Totinos" trilogy on SNL, but the one featuring Kristen Stewart is the best by a mile. This mock French romance escalates to absurd heights but never loses that product placement for the pizza rolls.

Favorite line: "What's your name?" "I've never had one."

13. "Extreme Baking Championship"

NBC

The possessed cake. The Food Network energy. Don Cheadle. I think I've watched this sketch the most, and it still kills me because the drawings of the cakes compared to the finished product are all too real when it comes to cooking competitions.

Favorite line: "Why that's his famous penis, of course."

12. "Star Wars Undercover Boss: Starkiller Base"

NBC

You could throw a dart at any Adam Driver sketches, and they'd be worthy of this list. This one, in particular, was hilarious and worked well, pleasing Star Wars fans and parodying Undercover Boss. Everyone wanted Matt to make a cameo in a galaxy far, far away.

Favorite line: "I haven't had my muffin yet, MATT."

11. "Family Dinner — Shrek"

NBC

It might be an unpopular opinion, but I love this "Family Dinner" more than the "Weezer" sketch. Sterling K. Brown's acting is phenomenal, and I love the way his voice cracks the first time he says, "Shrek."

Favorite line: "No, dumbass, Shrek is CGI. What?"

10. "Angelo"

NBC

Angelo, the next big thing, might be my favorite character of the 2020s. I don't understand a word that he is saying, yet, I love every second of this uncomfortable sketch. It feels very old school compared to most skits trying to parody something topical.

Favorite line: "Thank you for this."

9. "High School Theatre Show with Emma Stone"

NBC

If you were ever a theatre kid, this sketch might hit a little too close to home. From the black box outfits to the literal boxes for the performance, it will give you Drama Club flashbacks. Oh, and the tone-deaf performance is hilariously too authentic.

Favorite line: "Basketball."

8. "New Paint"

NBC

My favorite Aidy Bryant sketch, this ridiculous humor will match the theme of this list. I think SNL is at its best when it's full-blown ridiculous.

Favorite line: "Well, you have to have the special primer, and the brushes, and factor in the shipping and lay-bour!"

7. "(Do It on My) Twin Bed"

NBC

Maybe the best modern-era, non-Lonely Island song produced by SNL. It's catchy and hilarious. Bonus points for the throwback photos of the cast.

Favorite line: "And now, it's a whole thing with Jean."

6. "Close Encounter"

NBC

My favorite Kate McKinnon character. The cast failing to hold it together makes it funnier, but nobody breaks enough to ruin the sketch. "No harm. No foul."

Favorite line: "Look, it wasn't my worst Wednesday night."

5. "Black Jeopardy with Tom Hanks"

NBC

Now and then, sketch comedy succeeds in subverting expectations, and there may not be a better example than this installment of "Black Jeopardy." If you've yet to watch it, judge the thumbnail like a book cover, and go into it without spoilers because it's worth the watch.

Favorite line: "Well, it was fun while it lasted, Doug."

4. "Career Day"

NBC

Adam Driver has been an MVP of SNL for a while now, but nothing touches his performance as Abraham H. Parnassus. From making the other actors break to the story of an oil baron CRUSHING HIS ENEMIES, it's a great sketch the second he steps into the room.

Favorite line: "Look at your father, boy."

3. "Barbie Instagram"

NBC

Everyone in this sketch kills it. The three very different personalities, all with terrible ideas, bring a mixed bag to this sketch (in the best way). Donald Glover's detailed stories of Barbie's life steal the show.

Favorite line: "Now me."

2. "First Impression"

NBC

I think I'm in the minority, and feel free to roast me in the comments for having this at number two, but, man, it kills me every time. Comedy should be balls to the wall, and I feel like this sketch was too weird for some viewers, but the build is almost perfect. This might be my favorite media ever to feature Jason Momoa. His performance is subtly magnificent.

Favorite line: "Very handsome."

1. Haunted Elevator

NBC

Call it played, but this sketch has to be No. 1 on this list. It's absurd, funny, and now a Halloween staple. The sketch builds each moment and never fizzles out. I imagine it's not everyone's humor, but it feels very much what an SNL sketch is supposed to be. "Any questions?"

Favorite line: "Part of it!"
