There is stiff competition in that category.
Even going back to the first few seasons, there were an awful lot of misses, and very few hits.
We used to laugh about the killer bees, John Belushi's Samurai, the coneheads, Dan Aykroyd saying, "Jane you ignorant slut!" on every Weekend Update, but when I look at them now, I'm not sure if the humor was there or just going along with the peer pressure.
On the other hand, I look at the old SCTV shows, and most of the sketches hold up very well.
Yup, I've been rewatching them. I think back and it was so funny, but the ones we remember were maybe one skit every 5 shows? Worse? Maybe one or two a year? There's a reason we all say "it used to be better" - because nostalgia blocks out the bad ones
"SNL just isn't as funny as it used to be"
Says every person 5 years after they started watching it in HS/college
