What makes a great Saturday Night Live sketch? Sometimes it’s a performance so commanding that the rest of the cast can barely keep a straight face. Sometimes it’s a perfectly constructed premise, an inspired parody, or an idea so strange it’s hard to imagine it surviving anywhere else. More often, it’s some combination of the above coming together at exactly the right moment—and creating something that sticks around long after the show ends.
After last year’s countdown of SNL’s 50 greatest episodes, LateNighter’s podcast partner The Saturday Night Network tasked fans with turning their attention to the show’s individual sketches. The resulting top 100 brings together familiar favorites and deep cuts, spanning the SNL’s very first broadcast through Season 51.
Cold opens, live sketches, and prerecorded pieces were eligible. Monologues and Weekend Update features were not. Fans voted for individual sketches, with multiple qualifying installments of a recurring sketch grouped into a single entry. That rule came into play just once: “Mother Lover,” originally No. 83, joins “Dick in a Box” at No. 5.
The Saturday Night Network has been revealing the results week by week throughout this past summer in podcast form. Below is the complete countdown, from No. 100 to No. 1.
100) “Fly High Duluth”
Episode: Scarlett Johansson / Death Cab For Cutie (S31 E10, 01/14/2006)
Why it Made It: A local morning show’s new theme song becomes a full-scale Will Forte production. What begins as a sunny salute to Duluth veers into dark, thunderous rock, with Scarlett Johansson joining the performance and the hosts struggling to maintain their composure. Forte’s total commitment sells every detour. The contrast between the modest assignment and the enormous musical spectacle makes this a fitting opening to a list with plenty of room for SNL’s stranger side.
99) “Happy Smile Patrol”
Episode: John Goodman / Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers (S24 E17, 04/10/1999)
Why it Made It: A cheerful children’s program keeps getting interrupted by increasingly disturbing news about its own performers. Will Ferrell, John Goodman, Cheri Oteri, and Chris Kattan play the Happy Smile Patrol, whose wholesome costumes become funnier with every new criminal revelation. Each return to the show raises the stakes, turning a simple interruption into an impressively dark exercise in escalation.
98) “St. Monica Talent Auditions / Mary Katherine Gallagher”
Episode: Gabriel Byrne / Alanis Morissette (S21 E4, 10/28/1995)
Why it Made It: Molly Shannon introduces Mary Katherine Gallagher with the confidence of a performer who already knows exactly who her character is—even if Mary Katherine has no idea how she’s being received. Her talent-show audition combines enormous ambition, breathtaking awkwardness, and an intensely committed dramatic monologue, with Gabriel Byrne providing the perfect exasperated counterweight. It’s an assured debut for one of the era’s defining recurring characters.
97) “The Pepsi Syndrome”
Episode: Richard Benjamin / Rickie Lee Jones (S4 E16, 04/07/1979)
Why it Made It: A spilled soft drink helps trigger a nuclear crisis in this unusually sprawling disaster parody. The situation expands to include President Carter, an endangered cleaning woman, and eventually a literal change in scale. Running roughly 14 minutes, it’s practically a miniature movie—an ambitious original-cast ensemble piece that keeps finding ways to make the catastrophe bigger.
96) “Threw It On The Ground”
Episode: Ryan Reynolds / Lady Gaga (S35 E2, 10/03/2009)
Why it Made It: Andy Samberg’s self-styled rebel refuses to participate in society, mostly by throwing perfectly ordinary objects on the ground. Slow-motion destruction gives his increasingly ridiculous protests exactly the grandeur he thinks they deserve. It’s classic Lonely Island construction: a simple, quotable premise pushed further and further until the character’s supposed principles have revealed themselves to mean almost nothing.
95) “Doctor’s Office / Dr. Beaman”
Episode: Freddie Prinze Jr. / Macy Gray (S25 E10, 01/15/2000)
Why it Made It: Will Ferrell’s Dr. Beaman turns a routine consultation into a succession of alarming non sequiturs, delivering each new indignity with the confidence of a trusted medical professional. Tim Meadows eventually adds another burst of absurdity, but the pleasure is in never knowing where the conversation is headed next. It’s an ordinary doctor’s office populated by people who seem to be operating under entirely different rules.
94) “So Long, Farewell”
Episode: Heather Locklear / Janet Jackson (S19 E20, 05/14/1994)
Why it Made It: SNL’s recurring characters gather for a musical farewell to Season 19, giving the ensemble one last chance to take a bow together. The emotional center is Phil Hartman, ending his eight-season run, with Chris Farley’s Matt Foley at his side. It’s funny, sentimental, and now more poignant than anyone watching at the time could have known.
93) “Roundball Rock”
Episode: Vince Vaughn / Miguel (S38 E18, 04/13/2013)
Why it Made It: What if John Tesh’s famous NBA theme had lyrics—and what if the Tesh brothers were prepared to fight for them? Jason Sudeikis and Tim Robinson answer both questions with startling conviction. Robinson’s Dave provides the blunt vocal hook while Sudeikis’s John fiercely defends their artistic vision, eventually turning a music pitch into a destructive tantrum. Few terrible lyrics have ever been performed with such pride.
92) “Schmitts Gay”
Episode: Michael Jordan / Public Enemy (S17 E1, 09/28/1991)
Why it Made It: Chris Farley and Adam Sandler crack open a couple of beers and suddenly find themselves surrounded by attractive men in a perfect reversal of the era’s bikini-heavy beer commercials. The joke works because Farley and Sandler are delighted rather than horrified, throwing themselves into the fantasy with infectious enthusiasm. The precision of the commercial parody and the warmth of their pairing make it an early glimpse of how much fun the two could be together.
91) “Colon Blow”
Episode: Chris Evert / Eurythmics (S15 E5, 11/11/1989)
Why it Made It: Phil Hartman calmly discovers that his high-fiber breakfast cereal can’t possibly compete with Colon Blow, even as an absurd mountain of bowls rises behind him to illustrate the difference. The polished presentation makes the ridiculous product seem almost plausible, while Hartman’s understated reactions keep the escalating visual joke perfectly grounded. It’s a compact showcase for his gift for making nonsense sound reasonable.
90) “Script in Development”
Episode: Bill Murray / Delbert McClinton (S6 E12, 03/07/1981)
Why it Made It: Bill Murray plays a writer whose constant revisions force the performers behind him to change what they’re doing in real time. Every new detail in the script becomes an immediate physical instruction for the cast, turning the writing process itself into the joke. Coming during the show’s troubled sixth season, it’s also a tantalizing glimpse of what that short-lived ensemble could do when given a strong, inventive premise.
89) “Video Will”
Episode: Chris Evert / Eurythmics (S15 E5, 11/11/1989)
Why it Made It: Jan Hooks’ Bette Davis has plenty to say from beyond the grave, while her impatient heirs would rather skip ahead to the inheritance. Their attempts to fast-forward her prerecorded will become a spectacular live performance challenge for Hooks, who recreates the effect herself. The impression is only part of the achievement; the sketch becomes a sustained demonstration of her timing, physical control, and ability to hold the stage.
88) “Family Dinner / Dysfunctional Family”
Episode: Sarah Michelle Gellar / Portishead (S23 E11, 01/17/1998)
Why it Made It: Long stretches of clinking silverware and strained small talk give way to furious outbursts at a family dinner with Will Ferrell, Ana Gasteyer, and Sarah Michelle Gellar. Ferrell’s insistence that he drives a Dodge Stratus became the famous line, but the silences do just as much work. All three performers make the pauses uncomfortable enough that every eruption feels both ridiculous and weirdly recognizable.
87) “Get Off the Shed!”
Episode: Mariel Hemingway / Blues Traveler (S21 E1, 09/30/1995)
Why it Made It: Will Ferrell makes a pleasant backyard barbecue increasingly uncomfortable by repeatedly interrupting polite conversation to scream at his unseen children. The shouting is memorable, but the neighbors’ determination to keep the afternoon normal gives the sketch its shape. Debuting in Ferrell’s very first episode, it establishes a skill that would define much of his SNL career: turning an apparently ordinary adult into someone spectacularly unreasonable.
86) “Mister Robinson’s Neighborhood”
Episode: Eddie Murphy / Robert Plant & The Honeydrippers (S10 E9, 12/15/1984)
Why it Made It: Eddie Murphy’s Mr. Robinson celebrates Christmas with his familiar blend of educational-show sweetness and unapologetic criminality. Murphy addresses the audience like a trusted friend, then instantly changes gears whenever someone comes to the door. The character works because Robinson always wants viewers in on the scheme with him—and this holiday installment has remained one of his most replayed.
85) “Theodoric of York, Medieval Barber”
Episode: Steve Martin / The Blues Brothers (S3 E18, 04/22/1978)
Why it Made It: Steve Martin’s medieval barber responds to one medical disaster after another with absolute confidence in his terrible methods. Jane Curtin finally challenges his authority, prompting Theodoric to briefly imagine a future built on science and reason—before dismissing the whole idea. Martin’s delivery turns that fleeting moment of enlightenment into the sketch’s defining joke.
84) “International Mad Scientist Society / World’s Most Evil Invention”
Episode: Dwayne Johnson / Katy Perry (S42 E21, 05/20/2017)
Why it Made It: Dwayne Johnson brings a genuinely monstrous invention to a gathering of supposedly evil scientists and discovers that even they have limits. His calm explanation collides with the room’s growing horror, drawing a very funny line between cartoon villainy and actual depravity. Johnson’s refusal to soften the character makes the other scientists’ reactions even better.
83) “Experienced Lawyers / Billson & Lieberman”
Episode: Amy Poehler / Role Model (S51 E2, 10/11/2025)
Why it Made It: A law firm’s boast about its combined years of experience sparks an escalating commercial war over an increasingly meaningless credential. Amy Poehler joins James Austin Johnson and Andrew Dismukes in treating the competition with complete seriousness, which only makes the arithmetic sillier. One of the countdown’s newest selections, it’s built around the kind of clean premise SNL can keep heightening almost indefinitely.
82) “Bill Swerski’s Super Fans”
Episode: Michael Jordan / Public Enemy (S17 E1, 09/28/1991)
Why it Made It: Michael Jordan visits Chicago’s most devoted sports fans, who are almost too busy worshiping their teams to listen to their guest. Chris Farley’s Todd O’Connor supplies another spectacular health scare, while the group’s internal monologues reveal that even with Jordan sitting in front of them, their thoughts keep drifting back to Da Bears—and food. Jordan proves an unexpectedly perfect guest inside an already fully formed comic universe.
81) “A Holiday Wish”
Episode: Chevy Chase, Steve Martin, Martin Short / Randy Newman (S12 E6, 12/06/1986)
Why it Made It: Seated beside a Christmas tree, Steve Martin begins with a generous wish for the world’s children before gradually reorganizing his priorities around money, revenge, and personal gratification. The cozy setting makes each new selfish desire funnier, while Martin somehow keeps the increasingly appalling speaker charming. It’s the rare holiday classic built almost entirely around watching one man reveal how awful he is.
80) “Nude Beach”
Episode: Matthew Broderick / The Sugarcubes (S14 E2, 10/15/1988)
Why it Made It: A relaxed gathering at a nude beach becomes an experiment in just how often a network comedy can repeat one anatomical word. The cast treats the conversation with such casual friendliness that the repetition develops its own rhythm, and the eventual explanation gives the whole exercise one final payoff. The real audacity is making the supposedly taboo word sound like ordinary small talk.
79) “What’s That Name?”
Episode: John Mulaney / Thomas Rhett (S44 E14, 03/02/2019)
Why it Made It: John Mulaney’s contestant can identify celebrities with ease but struggles when asked to recognize the people in his own life. Returning as host Vince Blight, Bill Hader turns a simple game show into an increasingly personal exercise in humiliation. The genius of the format is that useless knowledge earns applause while basic human decency becomes the contestant’s impossible challenge.
78) “Massive Headwound Harry”
Episode: Linda Hamilton / Mariah Carey (S17 E6, 11/16/1991)
Why it Made It: Dana Carvey’s grotesquely injured party guest is an outrageously inappropriate presence at a polite gathering, but the reactions around him are just as important as the makeup. Chris Farley and Phil Hartman make Harry’s every movement feel like a social emergency. Then a dog takes an unscripted interest in the wound, creating the kind of live-TV moment no writer could have planned.
77) “ABC Campaign ’88”
Episode: Tom Hanks / Keith Richards (S14 E1, 10/08/1988)
Why it Made It: Dana Carvey’s George H. W. Bush circles through reassuring phrases while Jon Lovitz’s Michael Dukakis struggles to understand how this guy could possibly be beating him. Their contrasting rhythms turn a presidential debate into a contest between cheerful evasiveness and mounting exasperation. Lovitz’s disbelief gives Carvey’s impression the perfect opponent—and one of the sketch’s most enduring lines.
76) “16th Annual Star Trek Convention”
Episode: William Shatner / Lone Justice (S12 E8, 12/20/1986)
Why it Made It: William Shatner takes the stage at a Star Trek convention and tells his most devoted fans to “get a life.” Having the actual Captain Kirk deliver the fantasy rebuke gives the sketch its charge, especially after a carefully observed buildup of obsessive questions and convention rituals. Shatner’s eventual retreat—claiming he was simply portraying an evil version of Kirk—provides the perfect escape hatch.
75) “King Tut”
Episode: Steve Martin / The Blues Brothers (S3 E18, 04/22/1978)
Why it Made It: Steve Martin condemns the commercialization of King Tut, then immediately launches into exactly the sort of spectacle he has just criticized. The song, choreography, costumes, and Martin’s absurd confidence turned the number into one of the defining images of his relationship with SNL. Sometimes sheer showmanship is enough.
74) “Don’t Look Back in Anger”
Episode: Art Garfunkel / Stephen Bishop (S3 E13, 03/11/1978)
Why it Made It: An elderly John Belushi visits the graves of his fellow original cast members and marvels that he has outlived them all. Tom Schiller’s film gives Belushi room for affection, mischief, and a final burst of physical exuberance. His death just four years later gave the premise an unplanned poignancy, but the piece was already unusual in how much emotion it allowed into SNL.
73) “Sarah Palin & Hillary Clinton”
Episode: Michael Phelps / Lil Wayne (S34 E1, 09/13/2008)
Why it Made It: Tina Fey’s Sarah Palin and Amy Poehler’s Hillary Clinton make a joint appeal against sexism, with Clinton barely concealing her frustration at the woman standing beside her. Fey’s uncanny resemblance to Palin was the immediate hook, but Poehler’s simmering resentment gives the scene its comic engine. The pairing became one of the defining images of SNL’s 2008 election coverage.
72) “Show Your Patriotism / Short Shorts for the USA”
Episode: Seann William Scott / Sum 41 (S27 E2, 10/06/2001)
Why it Made It: Asked to wear something patriotic to work in the aftermath of 9/11, Will Ferrell’s Dale arrives in shorts that leave his colleagues struggling to concentrate. His cheerful confidence makes the visual joke, with Seann William Scott joining in the office’s mounting disbelief. Airing less than a month after the attacks, the sketch also offered the kind of defiantly silly physical comedy SNL was only beginning to find its way back to.
71) “Street Gang / Cobras & Panthers”
Episode: Robert Downey Jr. / Fiona Apple (S22 E6, 11/16/1996)
Why it Made It: Everyone in this street gang understands the rules of a West Side Story-style musical except Norm Macdonald, who would simply like to know why his friends keep singing and dancing. Robert Downey Jr. and the ensemble commit fully to the choreography, making Norm’s objections seem both perfectly reasonable and completely disruptive. His dry suspicion turns the parody into a showcase for a comic voice that worked just as well away from the “Update” desk.
70) “Buckwheat Dead”
Episode: Robert Guillaume / Duran Duran (S8 E16, 03/19/1983)
Why it Made It: Buckwheat’s death becomes a wall-to-wall television event, complete with relentless coverage and grotesquely appropriate sponsorship. Joe Piscopo’s Ted Koppel gives the reporting an authoritative surface while the broadcast steadily turns tragedy into programming. Spanning multiple segments and episodes, the storyline grew beyond an Eddie Murphy character piece into a sustained parody of television news’s appetite for repetition, spectacle, and commercial opportunity.
69) “Election Night”
Episode: Dave Chappelle / A Tribe Called Quest (S42 E6, 11/12/2016)
Why it Made It: An election-night gathering grows increasingly desperate as the 2016 results challenge the guests’ assumptions about America. Dave Chappelle’s relative lack of surprise exposes the gap between his experience and theirs, with Chris Rock arriving to sharpen the point. The advancing clock gives the sketch its structure as confidence turns to bargaining and then disbelief.
68) “The Falconer”
Episode: Kevin Spacey / Nelly Furtado (S31 E19, 05/20/2006)
Why it Made It: A time-travel rescue gives Will Forte’s Falconer an excuse to multiply, pulling more and more of the cast into an increasingly complicated predicament. Every attempted solution creates another version of the same problem, while miniature effects add to the silliness. What begins as a recurring-character piece gradually becomes an unlikely full-ensemble showcase.
67) “Church Chat”
Episode: Charlton Heston / Wynton Marsalis (S12 E15, 03/28/1987)
Why it Made It: Dana Carvey’s Church Lady meets Jim and Tammy Faye Bakker, giving her sanctimonious questioning especially fertile territory. Phil Hartman and Jan Hooks provide the evasions, tears, and elaborate makeup, while Carvey’s character remains every bit as pleased with her own moral superiority. It’s the Church Lady at the intersection of a strong recurring format, great impressions, and a timely public scandal.
66) “Bern Your Enthusiasm”
Episode: Larry David / The 1975 (S41 E12, 02/06/2016)
Why it Made It: Larry David’s Bernie Sanders loses potential supporters through exactly the petty interpersonal conflicts that power Curb Your Enthusiasm. Leslie Jones’s outstretched hand becomes a campaign crisis, while the SNL cast fills out a remarkably convincing version of Curb’s world. The parody works because the two Larry Davids fit together so naturally that the mashup almost feels inevitable.
65) “Darrell’s House”
Episode: Zach Galifianakis / Of Monsters and Men (S38 E19, 05/04/2013)
Why it Made It: Zach Galifianakis records a homemade talk show while barking increasingly elaborate editing instructions at an unseen Marcus. Later in the episode, SNL returns with the finished product—and every ridiculous instruction has been followed, right down to replacing Kenan Thompson with Jon Hamm. The two-part structure turns seemingly disposable details into carefully planted jokes and rewards viewers for remembering every one of them.
64) “FBI Simulator”
Episode: Larry David / The 1975 (S41 E12, 02/06/2016)
Why it Made It: A routine FBI training simulation contains one inexplicable obstacle: Larry David’s Kevin Roberts, whose appearance, attitude, and demands have almost nothing to do with preparing agents for the field. The trainees’ reasonable questions only make him more mysterious. David’s commitment gives Roberts an immediate comic identity: thoroughly misplaced, completely confident, and impossible to explain.
63) “Space, the Infinite Frontier”
Episode: Jeff Goldblum / En Vogue (S22 E20, 05/17/1997)
Why it Made It: Will Ferrell’s Harry Caray hosts a science program with almost no interest in conducting a coherent interview. Jeff Goldblum gamely tries to answer questions about space while Caray veers toward the moon, barbecue spare ribs, and whatever else happens to interest him. Goldblum’s bafflement is the perfect partner for Ferrell’s confidence, turning an impression into a character who can make virtually any subject about himself.
62) “First Citiwide Change Bank”
Episode: Tom Hanks / Keith Richards (S14 E1, 10/08/1988)
Why it Made It: First Citiwide Change Bank does one thing: make change. Jim Downey explains this apparently unnecessary service with complete professional seriousness, backed by customer testimonials and the sober visual language of a financial commercial. That restraint is the joke. Everything looks credible until you stop to consider the bank’s business model.
61) “Festrunk Brothers”
Episode: Steve Martin / The Blues Brothers (S3 E18, 04/22/1978)
Why it Made It: Steve Martin and Dan Aykroyd’s Festrunk brothers return from a night out convinced that women will soon arrive at their apartment. Garrett Morris tries to explain the reality of the situation, but their confidence is almost impossible to puncture. Even their dancing tells the story, shifting from triumph to disappointment without ever fully shaking their faith in themselves.
60) “Diner / Brenda the Waitress”
Episode: Alec Baldwin / The B-52’s (S15 E18, 04/21/1990)
Why it Made It: Jan Hooks’ Brenda runs her diner with easy Southern familiarity until Alec Baldwin walks in and changes the temperature. Their exchanges move from soft-spoken flirtation to startling intensity, with each performer matching every shift from the other. Hooks makes Brenda feel like a person with a whole life beyond the scene, turning the sketch into an acting showcase as much as a comedy piece.
59) “The Last Voyage of the Starship Enterprise”
Episode: Elliott Gould / Leon Redbone, Harlan Collins, Joyce Everson (S1 E22, 05/29/1976)
Why it Made It: The Enterprise encounters an enemy its crew cannot outwit: the television executives canceling their series. John Belushi’s Captain Kirk continues treating the crisis like a Star Trek adventure even as Elliott Gould and Garrett Morris physically dismantle the production around him. Belushi’s relatively restrained Shatner impression anchors a parody whose affection for the source makes the indignity of cancellation even funnier.
58) “Traffic Altercation”
Episode: Quinta Brunson / Lil Yachty (S48 E16, 04/01/2023)
Why it Made It: Quinta Brunson and Mikey Day turn a confrontation between drivers into an increasingly elaborate conversation conducted almost entirely through car windows. Insults, misunderstandings, and even a possible romantic detour are communicated through gestures, with both performers making complicated physical business look spontaneous. A simple road-rage setup becomes a miniature story told through creative miming and perfectly timed reactions.
57) “Trick or Treat / Jeff Montgomery”
Episode: Jon Hamm / Coldplay (S34 E6, 10/25/2008)
Why it Made It: Will Forte’s Jeff Montgomery arrives at Jon Hamm’s door claiming to be dressed as a sex offender for Halloween, then asks for signatures that make his explanation increasingly suspicious. Hamm keeps asking the obvious questions while Forte protects his flimsy story with extraordinary conviction. It’s a beautifully uncomfortable two-hander built around a reasonable man confronting someone whose confidence never comes close to matching his explanation.
56) “Super Bass-O-Matic ’76”
Episode: Ron Nessen / Patti Smith Group (S1 E17, 04/17/1976)
Why it Made It: Dan Aykroyd applies the breathless certainty of a television pitchman to a blender containing an entire fish. His sales patter treats the grotesque demonstration as an obvious improvement to everyday life, with Laraine Newman providing the satisfied-customer testimonial. The image is outrageous, but Aykroyd’s technical precision as a salesman is what makes the parody sing.
55) “Mom Confession / MAGA Mom”
Episode: Alexander Skarsgård / Cardi B (S51 E12, 01/31/2026)
Why it Made It: Ashley Padilla’s mother has something to confess about Donald Trump, provided her children can promise not to react. They can’t, making every pause, qualification, and threat to abandon the confession funnier. Padilla controls the scene through hesitation and defensiveness, while Alexander Skarsgård’s dad would mostly like everyone to stop fighting so they can get to his birthday outing.
54) “Totino’s 3”
Episode: Kristen Stewart / Alessia Cara (S42 E13, 02/04/2017)
Why it Made It: Vanessa Bayer’s perpetually accommodating Totino’s wife finally meets someone interested in her, as Kristen Stewart transforms a Super Bowl snack commercial into a romantic awakening. The men remain absorbed in the game while an entirely different movie unfolds in the kitchen. The sharpest joke is also the clearest statement about the character: when asked her name, she realizes she doesn’t have one.
53) “Mastermind”
Episode: Chevy Chase, Steve Martin, Martin Short / Randy Newman (S12 E6, 12/06/1986)
Why it Made It: Phil Hartman’s Ronald Reagan switches between a genial, apparently distracted public figure and a ruthlessly informed operator the instant the room changes. Every return to his harmless public persona makes the private command center more startling. It’s a terrific early example of Hartman’s ability to create two completely different energies without ever seeming to work for either one.
52) “The Californians”
Episode: Josh Brolin / Gotye (S37 E19, 04/14/2012)
Why it Made It: A California soap opera keeps interrupting its emotional revelations to discuss driving routes. Fred Armisen, Kristen Wiig, Bill Hader, and the rest of the cast stretch the accents and melodrama until even the performers begin struggling to hold it together. The first installment establishes a strangely complete universe in which traffic directions deserve every bit as much attention as betrayal.
51) “First Presidential Debate”
Episode: Rob Lowe / Eminem (S26 E1, 10/07/2000)
Why it Made It: Darrell Hammond’s Al Gore and Will Ferrell’s George W. Bush turn the first 2000 presidential debate into a clash of comic rhythms. Gore’s “lockbox” becomes an obsession, while Bush’s brief answers produce an entirely different laugh. Jim Downey’s writing gives each impression a clear point of view, allowing the two candidates to work as comic characters rather than just collections of mannerisms.
50) “Undercover Boss: Starkiller Base”
Episode: Adam Driver / Chris Stapleton (S41 E10, 01/16/2016)
Why it Made It: Adam Driver’s Kylo Ren goes undercover as Matt, a radar technician, and discovers that a disguise can’t conceal his temper or his desperate need for approval. The reality-show format makes the Star Wars workplace ordinary enough for Kylo’s behavior to become ridiculous. Driver’s deadly seriousness is the essential ingredient, preserving the villain even as the premise punctures him a little more with every encounter.
49) “What Up With That?”
Episode: Martin Short / Paul McCartney (S38 E10, 12/15/2012)
Why it Made It: Kenan Thompson’s DeAndre Cole attempts another interview that inevitably becomes a full-scale musical extravaganza, leaving Samuel L. Jackson, Carrie Brownstein, and Bill Hader’s Lindsey Buckingham waiting for their turns. Jason Sudeikis dances relentlessly, Martin Short joins the spectacle, and Jackson’s on-air swearing adds an unexpected live-TV jolt. At its best, “What Up With That?” makes the exact same derailment feel newly exhilarating every time.
48) “Potato Chip Thief”
Episode: Blake Lively / Rihanna (S35 E8, 12/05/2009)
Why it Made It: A NASA job interview collapses over a single missing potato chip. Will Forte, Jason Sudeikis, and Blake Lively commit to a level of outrage wildly disproportionate to the offense, while the dialogue grows stranger with every exchange. The chip becomes a question of personal honor and institutional pride, giving Forte and Sudeikis an ideal excuse to keep pushing one another further.
47) “Career Day”
Episode: Adam Driver / Kanye West (S44 E1, 09/29/2018)
Why it Made It: Adam Driver’s Abraham H. Parnassus brings the ferocity of an oil-industry patriarch to an elementary-school career day, directing much of his contempt toward the son he has come to visit. Driver attacks every line and physical beat with extraordinary conviction, making the classroom seem barely capable of containing him. The joy is watching a serious dramatic actor apply his full force to a character and setting this ridiculous.
46) “Dear Sister”
Episode: Shia LaBeouf / Avril Lavigne (S32 E17, 04/14/2007)
Why it Made It: A dramatic shooting triggers Imogen Heap’s “Hide and Seek.” Then another shooting triggers it again. And again. The Lonely Island takes a climactic television device and repeats it until both the violence and the musical emphasis become absurd, with every new arrival providing another excuse to restart the emotional climax. You don’t even need to have seen The O.C. scene that inspired it to understand the joke.
45) “Goodnight Saigon / Summer Plans”
Episode: Will Ferrell / Green Day (S34 E22, 05/16/2009)
Why it Made It: A conversation about summer travel prompts Will Ferrell to launch into Billy Joel’s “Goodnight Saigon,” turning an ordinary gathering into an enormous musical season finale. The gap between his actual experience and the intensity of the performance provides the joke, while a growing parade of familiar faces gives the scene the feeling of an end-of-season celebration. By the end, the bit has somehow become a full-scale production number.
44) “Ebony & Ivory”
Episode: Olivia Newton-John (S7 E20, 05/22/1982)
Why it Made It: Eddie Murphy’s Stevie Wonder and Joe Piscopo’s Frank Sinatra attempt a musical collaboration that exposes the considerable distance between their personalities and generations. Murphy supplies both the impression and the singing, while Piscopo’s Sinatra keeps imposing his own assumptions on the partnership. Watching two sharply defined comic characters try to inhabit the same song gives the sketch its spark.
43) “Colonel Angus”
Episode: Christopher Walken / Foo Fighters (S28 E13, 02/22/2003)
Why it Made It: Christopher Walken’s Colonel Angus arrives for a visit, giving his hosts seemingly endless opportunities to discuss his name through euphemism. The period setting and genteel delivery provide just enough cover to keep returning to the same joke, while Walken’s distinctive cadence seems almost designed for the material. Chris Parnell, Rachel Dratch, and Amy Poehler never betray the scene’s absurdly polite tone.
42) “The Chris Farley Show”
Episode: Alec Baldwin / Paul McCartney (S18 E13, 02/13/1993)
Why it Made It: Chris Farley interviews Paul McCartney and can barely get past the fact that he’s sitting next to a Beatle. His obvious questions and bursts of self-reproach reveal a vulnerability his louder characters often concealed, while McCartney’s patience gives the encounter an unexpected sweetness. It’s a failed celebrity interview turned into something wonderfully human.
41) “Unfrozen Caveman Lawyer”
Episode: Macaulay Culkin / Tin Machine (S17 E7, 11/23/1991)
Why it Made It: Phil Hartman’s Keyrock presents himself to a jury as a simple caveman bewildered by modern life, then uses that supposed innocence to make a thoroughly calculated legal argument. Jack Handey’s strange logic gives the character his premise, but Hartman’s courtroom authority makes him believable. Beneath the prehistoric makeup is a lawyer who understands manipulation considerably better than he lets on.
40) “United Way”
Episode: Peyton Manning / Carrie Underwood (S32 E16, 03/24/2007)
Why it Made It: Peyton Manning’s wholesome public image takes a beating in this charity-film parody, as an afternoon spent helping children becomes a succession of outrageously irresponsible lessons. Manning’s assured delivery makes the reversal especially effective: the same authority that would sell a reassuring celebrity endorsement is now being used to justify bullying kids and teaching them how to break into cars. It instantly established that Manning was game for far more than the usual athlete-host material.
39) “Jacuzzi Lifeguard”
Episode: Jim Carrey / Soundgarden (S21 E20, 05/18/1996)
Why it Made It: Jim Carrey treats a tiny Jacuzzi like a body of water requiring the full vigilance of a professional lifeguard. Will Ferrell’s bewildered customer supplies the ordinary reality against which every whistle, warning, and frantic movement becomes ridiculous. It’s a perfect collision between Carrey’s enormous physical style and Ferrell’s emerging talent for playing an unreasonable authority figure with total conviction.
38) “Mr. Belvedere Fan Club”
Episode: Tom Hanks / Bruce Springsteen (S17 E19, 05/09/1992)
Why it Made It: Tom Hanks presides over a Mr. Belvedere fan club whose affection for the television character keeps shading into something more disturbing. Chris Farley says the alarming part aloud, Phil Hartman supplies dead-eyed explanations, and the group’s rules somehow make the obsession feel institutional. It’s a wonderful example of SNL building an entire social world around a premise that becomes less defensible with every new detail.
37) “Comeback / Choppin’ Broccoli”
Episode: Sigourney Weaver (S12 E1, 10/11/1986)
Why it Made It: Dana Carvey’s aspiring rock musician pours the emotion and musical flourishes of an enormous ballad into lyrics about chopping broccoli. The mismatch is funny immediately, but Carvey’s piano playing and vocal commitment keep the improvised song building long after the audience gets the joke. Introduced in his first episode, it was an early indication of just how strange—and versatile—the show’s newest cast member could be.
36) “Beavis and Butt-Head”
Episode: Ryan Gosling / Chris Stapleton (S49 E17, 04/13/2024)
Why it Made It: A panel discussion about AI is derailed by audience members who look uncannily like Beavis and Butt-Head. Ryan Gosling and Mikey Day’s transformations are funny before either man says much of anything, and Heidi Gardner’s inability to keep a straight face turns the visual joke into an instantly memorable live-TV moment. The performers’ struggle to survive the sketch ultimately became part of its appeal.
35) “Dancing in the Dark”
Episode: Steve Martin / The Blues Brothers (S3 E18, 04/22/1978)
Why it Made It: Steve Martin and Gilda Radner notice each other across a disco, and the world around them seems to freeze as they begin an elaborate romantic dance. Their journey through the studio transforms familiar SNL sets into a theatrical landscape, briefly making the show feel like something entirely different. It’s a reminder that an enduring SNL moment can come from grace, movement, and chemistry just as easily as a punchline.
34) “Wolverines”
Episode: George Carlin / Janis Ian, Billy Preston (S1 E1, 10/11/1975)
Why it Made It: Michael O’Donoghue teaches John Belushi English through increasingly peculiar sentences, then suffers an apparent heart attack that his obedient student immediately imitates. Chevy Chase enters moments later to deliver the first “Live from New York, it’s Saturday Night!” The sketch’s place in history is unavoidable, but it also established from the opening minutes that this new show had a taste for strange premises and all-in performances.
33) “Jumanji / Ticket to Ride”
Episode: Kristen Wiig / Raye (S49 E16, 04/06/2024)
Why it Made It: Kristen Wiig refuses to play Ticket to Ride because she’s afraid of being Jumanji’d. Her friends’ increasingly patient attempts to explain the difference between the two games only uncover more of the elaborate logic behind her fear. Andrew Dismukes proves an ideal sparring partner, and Will Forte arrives late to add one more wrinkle to a world in which Wiig’s concern somehow becomes harder to dismiss the longer everyone discusses it.
32) “Royal Party / Lord and Lady Douchebag”
Episode: Buck Henry / Andrew Gold, Andraé Crouch, The Voices of Unity (S5 E20, 05/24/1980)
Why it Made It: An aristocratic gathering introduces a succession of distinguished guests before finally welcoming Lord and Lady Douchebag. The elaborate period setting gives the juvenile name a comic weight it could never carry on its own, while Buck Henry and the cast maintain complete formality as the dialogue keeps finding new ways to use it. In the original cast’s final episode, the sketch feels like an appropriately sophisticated setup for an extremely unsophisticated joke.
31) “Jingleheimer Junction”
Episode: Cameron Diaz / The Smashing Pumpkins (S24 E1, 09/26/1998)
Why it Made It: A cheerful children’s program teaches cooperation through a group of letter-wearing characters whose arrangement threatens to spell something decidedly unsuitable for children’s television. Tim Meadows desperately tries to manage the problem while everyone else maintains the show’s sunny enthusiasm. The visual reveal is simple, but the aggressively wholesome presentation makes the looming disaster much funnier.
30) “The Olympia Cafe / Cheeseburger”
Episode: Robert Klein / Bonnie Raitt (S3 E10, 01/28/1978)
Why it Made It: The Olympia Cafe operates by its own rules, regardless of what customers actually want to order. John Belushi, Dan Aykroyd, and Bill Murray make the restaurant feel as though it existed long before the cameras arrived, with repetition becoming the rhythm of a real working establishment. Don Novello’s writing gives the ensemble a recognizable little world rather than simply a catchphrase.
29) “Consumer Probe / Irwin Mainway”
Episode: Candice Bergen / Frank Zappa (S2 E10, 12/11/1976)
Why it Made It: Candice Bergen confronts Dan Aykroyd’s Irwin Mainway about his dangerous children’s toys, including the wonderfully indefensible Bag O’ Glass. Mainway meets every objection with another slippery justification, treating basic safety as an unreasonable burden on his business. Bergen’s steady incredulity lets Aykroyd keep discovering new shades of cheerful dishonesty.
28) “The Sinatra Group”
Episode: Sting (S16 E11, 01/19/1991)
Why it Made It: Phil Hartman’s Frank Sinatra moderates a discussion with musicians whose looks and attitudes invite his immediate judgment. Jan Hooks’s Sinéad O’Connor, Sting’s Billy Idol, and Chris Rock’s Luther Campbell give him an ideal range of targets, but the sketch belongs to Hartman’s gleefully combative Sinatra. The insults come fast, loud, and with complete certainty—especially whenever Billy Idol opens his mouth.
27) “Papyrus”
Episode: Ryan Gosling / Jay-Z (S43 E1, 09/30/2017)
Why it Made It: Ryan Gosling’s Steven cannot accept that Avatar used Papyrus for its title treatment, and the decision has come to dominate his life. Julio Torres’s tiny design grievance gets the visual language of a psychological thriller, making a font choice feel like an existential betrayal. Gosling’s distress and Kate McKinnon’s measured reactions keep the scale of the problem hilariously mismatched.
26) “Clinton at McDonald’s”
Episode: Tom Arnold / Neil Young (S18 E8, 12/05/1992)
Why it Made It: Phil Hartman’s Bill Clinton turns a jogging break into a tour of McDonald’s, charming customers while steadily helping himself to their food. He can discuss policy and pursue another bite in the same breath, making appetite part of the impression’s comic personality. Hartman maintains the character through an impressive amount of actual eating, producing a portrait that is sociable, knowledgeable, indulgent, and always ready for one more fry.
25) “Farewell, Mr. Bunting”
Episode: Fred Armisen / Courtney Barnett (S41 E21, 05/21/2016)
Why it Made It: A painstaking recreation of an inspirational classroom farewell gives viewers plenty of time to settle into the emotion before a ceiling fan changes everything. Fred Armisen and the student ensemble play the setup completely straight, making the sudden turn all the more startling—and the attempts to continue afterward even funnier. The patience is what makes the payoff work.
24) “Synchronized Swimming”
Episode: The Thompson Twins (S10 E1, 10/06/1984)
Why it Made It: Harry Shearer and Martin Short play brothers pursuing synchronized-swimming glory despite some significant obstacles—most notably Short’s inability to swim. The mock-documentary presentation treats their ambitions with complete seriousness, allowing awkward movements and confident explanations to carry the comedy. Both men emerge as fully drawn characters rather than just the setup for an athletic gag.
23) “Chippendales”
Episode: Patrick Swayze / Mariah Carey (S16 E4, 10/27/1990)
Why it Made It: Chris Farley and Patrick Swayze compete for a Chippendales job, with Farley matching his partner’s commitment through remarkable energy and physical control. The dancing provides the famous images, but Kevin Nealon’s solemn explanation of the hiring decision extends the joke beyond the audition itself. It was an early breakout for Farley and an unmistakable demonstration of his ability to own a stage.
22) “Locker Room Motivation / Dancing Coach”
Episode: Peyton Manning / Carrie Underwood (S32 E16, 03/24/2007)
Why it Made It: A demoralized team needs inspiration, and Will Forte’s coach decides the answer is an increasingly exuberant dance. Peyton Manning’s anxious player provides an unexpectedly funny counterpoint to the real quarterback’s public image before eventually giving in and joining him. This is the sketch that helped turn me into an SNL fan: pure commitment, physical comedy, and a host completely willing to look ridiculous alongside the cast.
21) “Wayne’s World”
Episode: Tom Hanks / Aerosmith (S15 E13, 02/17/1990)
Why it Made It: Wayne and Garth’s basement show welcomes Aerosmith, with Tom Hanks playing the roadie who helps make the encounter possible. Hanks’s microphone check became a memorable bit of its own, but the band’s willingness to enter Wayne and Garth’s universe makes the appearance feel like more than a celebrity cameo. Even with actual rock stars in the basement, Mike Myers and Dana Carvey never lose the amateur cable-access show at the center of the sketch.
20) “Celebrity Jeopardy!”
Episode: Norm Macdonald / Dr. Dre, Snoop Dogg, Eminem (S25 E3, 10/23/1999)
Why it Made It: Norm Macdonald returns as Burt Reynolds—now insisting on being called Turd Ferguson—while Darrell Hammond’s Sean Connery and Jimmy Fallon’s French Stewart make Alex Trebek’s job no easier. Will Ferrell absorbs every insult and useless answer with mounting exhaustion. The oversized hat gets the biggest visual laugh, but the real pleasure is watching three different kinds of disruption converge on a host who just wants to finish his game show.
19) “Not Gonna Phone It In Tonight”
Episode: Steve Martin / James Taylor (S17 E9, 12/14/1991)
Why it Made It: Steve Martin announces that tonight, for once, he’s actually going to try. His determination becomes a musical trip through the backstage world of SNL, with cast members gradually joining a full-company declaration that nobody intends to coast. The self-mockery keeps the celebration from becoming too earnest, and the number builds to an especially exhilarating arrival at the familiar opening line.
18) “Puppetry Class”
Episode: Seth MacFarlane / Frank Ocean (S38 E1, 09/15/2012)
Why it Made It: Bill Hader’s Anthony Peter Coleman brings a deeply troubled military history to an introductory puppetry class, and his puppet provides very little emotional distance from it. Seth MacFarlane’s instructor keeps trying to steer him toward something lighter while Hader commits completely to both man and puppet. The mismatch between the cheerful activity and Coleman’s disclosures gives Hader one of his great character showcases.
17) “James Brown’s Celebrity Hot Tub Party”
Episode: Betty Thomas / Stray Cats (S9 E4, 11/05/1983)
Why it Made It: Eddie Murphy’s James Brown turns the simple act of getting into a hot tub into a full musical performance, drawing rhythm, suspense, and repeated changes of direction from almost nothing. The singing, movement, and impression are inseparable, with Murphy commanding the room so completely that the premise barely needs anything else. It’s a concentrated dose of what made his SNL run feel so electric.
16) “Meet Your Second Wife!”
Episode: Tina Fey, Amy Poehler / Bruce Springsteen & The E Street Band (S41 E9, 12/19/2015)
Why it Made It: Tina Fey and Amy Poehler welcome unsuspecting contestants to a game show that introduces them to their future second wives. Each reveal gets more horrifying, especially with the men’s current wives sitting in the audience, while Bobby Moynihan, Taran Killam, and Kenan Thompson each find a different way to react. Fey and Poehler’s cheerful certainty makes the trap tighter: everyone else may be appalled, but the game show knows exactly where these marriages are headed.
15) “The Delicious Dish / Schweddy Balls”
Episode: Alec Baldwin / Luciano Pavarotti, Vanessa Williams (S24 E9, 12/12/1998)
Why it Made It: Alec Baldwin’s Pete Schweddy visits The Delicious Dish to discuss his holiday treats, giving Ana Gasteyer and Molly Shannon an endless supply of phrases that sound considerably less innocent than their public-radio delivery suggests. All three performers maintain the same soothing tempo even as the double entendres pile up. The refusal to acknowledge the joke becomes part of the joke—and gave SNL one of its most durable holiday sketches.
14) “Diner Lobster”
Episode: John Mulaney / Jack White (S43 E18, 04/14/2018)
Why it Made It: Pete Davidson orders lobster at a diner and triggers a musical reckoning worthy of Les Misérables. John Mulaney’s waiter and Chris Redd’s horrified dining companion establish the violation before Kenan Thompson’s lobster turns it into an epic. The expanding set, costumes, and ensemble make the wildly disproportionate response feel thrillingly large—an ideal showcase for how much SNL can put onstage when it commits to a ridiculous idea.
13) “Close Encounter”
Episode: Ryan Gosling / Leon Bridges (S41 E7, 12/05/2015)
Why it Made It: Kate McKinnon’s Colleen Rafferty discovers that her alien abduction was considerably less transcendent than those experienced by her fellow interviewees. Her casual posture and matter-of-fact descriptions create an instantly memorable character, with every new contrast giving the scene somewhere funnier to go. Ryan Gosling’s struggle to keep a straight face adds live energy, but McKinnon never loses control of the story.
12) “Word Association”
Episode: Richard Pryor / Gil Scott-Heron (S1 E7, 12/13/1975)
Why it Made It: A job interview becomes an escalating exchange of racial insults as Chevy Chase’s interviewer pushes Richard Pryor’s applicant beyond the bounds of a supposedly harmless word-association test. Pryor’s changing expression supplies the tension before his response suddenly reverses the balance of power. Written by Paul Mooney, it remains one of the earliest and starkest examples of SNL using discomfort itself as part of the comedy.
11) “Black Jeopardy!”
Episode: Tom Hanks / Lady Gaga (S42 E4, 10/22/2016)
Why it Made It: Tom Hanks’s Doug initially appears to be the last person who belongs on Black Jeopardy!, then repeatedly discovers common ground with the other contestants. Kenan Thompson’s pleasantly surprised host helps the audience make the same adjustment as shared suspicions and everyday experiences cross an apparent cultural divide. Just when everyone seems to have found common ground, the final category reminds them how much distance remains.
10) “Debbie Downer”
Episode: Lindsay Lohan / Usher (S29 E18, 05/01/2004)
Why it Made It: Rachel Dratch’s Debbie Downer brings a steady stream of grim observations to a Disney World breakfast, and the cast can barely survive her debut. The sound cues, Dratch’s expression, and the increasingly visible struggle around the table turn the scene into a communal breakdown. Beneath all the breaking is an instantly recognizable character whose name eventually became everyday shorthand.
9) “Spelling Bee”
Episode: Jack Black / Neil Young (S31 E9, 12/17/2005)
Why it Made It: Will Forte’s Daniel Strong approaches the word “business” with the seriousness of a spelling champion, then launches into an extraordinary string of incorrect letters. Chris Parnell’s unwavering composure makes it even better: neither performer acknowledges that anything unusual is happening. Forte somehow finds a rhythm inside the prolonged nonsense before Jack Black and Kyle Gass arrive for one final musical payoff.
8) “White Like Me”
Episode: Eddie Murphy / Robert Plant & The Honeydrippers (S10 E9, 12/15/1984)
Why it Made It: Eddie Murphy disguises himself as a white man and discovers a hidden world of free goods, easy loans, and celebrations that begin as soon as the last Black person leaves. His documentary-style presentation makes each new revelation more outrageous. Murphy’s apparent astonishment guides the audience through an escalating satire of racial privilege that remains one of the defining pieces of his SNL run.
7) “Haunted Elevator / David S. Pumpkins”
Episode: Tom Hanks / Lady Gaga (S42 E4, 10/22/2016)
Why it Made It: A haunted elevator keeps stopping for David S. Pumpkins, a man in a pumpkin suit whose relationship to the attraction remains stubbornly unclear. Tom Hanks, Mikey Day, and Bobby Moynihan perform their routine with complete confidence while Beck Bennett and Kate McKinnon ask increasingly reasonable questions. Every attempted explanation only makes David S. Pumpkins harder to explain—until the final scare gives this tiny, baffling mythology one last payoff.
6) “Wake Up and Smile”
Episode: David Alan Grier / Silverchair (S21 E8, 12/09/1995)
Why it Made It: A broken teleprompter sends a cheerful morning show into complete collapse. Will Ferrell and Nancy Walls turn their hosts’ dependence on scripted pleasantries into something increasingly frightening, with David Alan Grier trapped in the unraveling. A plausible technical problem becomes a struggle for survival, all while the television format keeps trying to maintain its sunny composure. The escalation is relentless.
5) “Dick in a Box”
Episode: Justin Timberlake (S32 E9, 12/16/2006)
Also Included: “Mother Lover”—Justin Timberlake / Ciara (S34 E21, 05/09/2009), originally No. 83.
Why it Made It: Andy Samberg and Justin Timberlake sell an outrageous gift idea with the earnest polish of a ’90s R&B ballad. The costumes, choreography, and vocals make the parody funny even before its central reveal, and their complete devotion to the concept keeps it building afterward. The duo returned for “Mother Lover,” applying the same musical sincerity to an even more inappropriate holiday plan. That sequel originally ranked No. 83 and joins “Dick in a Box” here under the countdown’s recurring-sketch rule.
4) “Lazy Sunday / The Chronicles of Narnia”
Episode: Jack Black / Neil Young (S31 E9, 12/17/2005)
Why it Made It: Andy Samberg and Chris Parnell treat a trip to see The Chronicles of Narnia with all the intensity of a rap epic. Cupcakes, movie tickets, and an ordinary Sunday afternoon become matters of enormous consequence, powered by the duo’s dead-serious delivery and the short’s brisk editing. Arriving just as YouTube was taking off, “Lazy Sunday” also helped introduce a new way for SNL sketches to escape Saturday night and become cultural events of their own.
3) “Washington’s Dream”
Episode: Nate Bargatze / Foo Fighters (S49 E3, 10/28/2023)
Why it Made It: Nate Bargatze’s George Washington has a vision for his new country, and a surprising amount of it involves making its systems of measurement as confusing as possible. Bargatze delivers every absurd decree with the calm certainty of a leader unveiling a sacred national purpose, while his soldiers keep asking perfectly reasonable questions. The more sensible they become, the funnier Washington’s refusal to explain himself gets.
2) “Motivational Speaker / Matt Foley”
Episode: Christina Applegate / Midnight Oil (S18 E19, 05/08/1993)
Why it Made It: Chris Farley’s Matt Foley arrives to scare two teenagers straight and immediately becomes the cautionary tale himself. The strained voice, frantic belt adjustments, and explosive movements make every second feel precarious, while Christina Applegate and David Spade visibly struggle to keep it together. Farley makes Foley both intimidating and hopeless—a man determined to command the room even as his own life, and eventually the living-room furniture, collapses around him.
1) “More Cowbell / Behind the Music”
Episode: Christopher Walken / Christina Aguilera (S25 E16, 04/08/2000)
Why it Made It: Christopher Walken asks for more cowbell, and Will Ferrell gives him everything he has. The premise is almost impossibly simple, but the execution keeps finding another gear: Ferrell’s full-body commitment, his bandmates’ mounting frustration, and Walken’s absolute conviction that the most intrusive part of the recording is also its most essential. Two perfectly matched performances turn one ridiculous musical note into the fans’ choice for SNL’s greatest sketch.
