Beat your meat

And out of the newer sketches, there was one chapter of the guy's big long book, in which he fought a lion while swimming in a river, then died. It was pure brilliance.

Hehe, I love those skits. Just a guy reading out stupid stories from a book that he keeps writing but doesn't end. Brilliant!

I like the one with Alec Baldwin as a scoutmaster trying to seduce Canteen Boy, Adam Sandler.  And that one with Mike Myers and the bald guy from Seinfeld in an Italian sub shop.  They keeps asking them, the italians, for more of some food item.  "You likah da juice?" *calls to the others* "He likah da juice!" "You want more juice?  We get you some more juice!"  I'm not sure why I found that funny, though.  It doesn't really seem that funny now, looking back.

That was one of the first I remember seeing. That was always just stupid, and you had to laugh at it.

I also liked that character that Rob Schnider used to do, where he always gave nicknames to people. Always sat in the copy room or something like that...

Does anybody remember the guy on the state that carried around two ping pong balls and always said "I'm gonna stick my balls in it!"

Pure comedy genious there

[MrColossal]

it's...

LOUIE!

The guy who comes in and says his catch phrase over and over again!

[LordHart]

I just remembered the Quentin Tarintino show, when he had special guests who were all influential film-makers and the only question he ever asked was "Did you jam her?"

Every Episode of SNL that was hosteed by Chris Walken was pure genius. Some choice quotes:

-"The rest of the interview will be centour questions"
-"I'm not good at guesstimating.....80?"
-"HEY! I got a fever, and the only perscription is more cowbell"
-"You need to let your freak flag fly" and "I think you need to lose your weave"

And finally

-"I have been sprayed so many times, I have grown immunity to mace"


Speaking of The State, has anyone been watching Reno 911? On that page, did anyone watch Viva Variety?

I remember a State skit where someone fell down steps in a wheelchair with a bowl full of meatballs, (of which were being guarded by an old lady played by Lennon who threatened to hang anyone who touched them.), or something like that.

I haven't been watching because I don't have access to cable.  But I've wished Tom Lennon luck with the show thru email, and he responded with thanks.  The guy who edited the State and also directed WHAS might be flying into town to an event I've invited him to.  David Wain, who you might recall as the jew in the "Jew, the Italian, and the Redhead gay."

He was also the one who still couldn't get a date to the prom. He, Showalter, and Black have a really popular live show called Stella in New York right now.
