LOVE old SNL, but i completely, 100%, without a doubt gave up on SNL when justin timberlake started appearing in skits. That's when i knew it was over for me.

@GarbagePaleKidd While I agree that SNL's glory days are over, Timberlake's the "Dick in a box" sketch is a classic.

Notice how everyone MEMORIZED their lines? Now the actors stare blankly just right of the camera reading lines.

Too bad SNL sucks so bad now. It's beyond repair I think...

I wish I knew where Phil Hartman's wife was buried so I could take a giant shit on her grave.

It's like SNL is not even trying to be funny now.

@Gavannon Lol yeah life is easier now, but I bet back then they wished they didnt have to remember all of them haha

I used to believe the public image of Reagan as dimwitted and clueless.

But I watched the debates with Carter and he was able to argue circles around him, much more articulate than the former Ga gov.

How great was Hartman, and how great was SNL back in the day. Haven't watched since Will Farell left, it is downright cringeworhty now.

In fact Dave Chappelle had more funny skits in 2 years than SNL had that entire decade

Today's SNL sucks balls, just not funny anymore

RIP

Phil Hartman.

And to think he wanted to star in a live action film about Troy Mclure.

As Phil says at 1:51 DAM!!!!

What a missed opportunity.

"You've changed, Dutch." My favorite SNL sketch.
