Not that I want you to leave and go to other sites, but these are pretty damn funny.
Okay, you all already know about Funny or Die, right? Tons of videos, often featuring big celebs, founded in 2007 by Will Ferrell, Adam McKay, Mark Kvamme, and Chris Henchy. Now they're doing all kinds of stuff -- ongoing series, movies, tv shows -- but their original short videos are still some of the best.

Yes, SNL is often very hit and miss. The sketches run too long and everyone has to read off of cue cards so timing and nuance go out the window. That said, if you look at the highlights over the years, they hit some out of the park. Now every Saturday afternoon, they do a run-through in before the big show and they film it. So often times, during the live show, a sketch gets cut for time and ends up on the cutting room floor. And often these are the weirder, more off-beat sketches that show real creativity and may actually surprise you. Now you can find nearly 100 of these "lost" sketches on You Tube under "Cut for Time Sketches on SNL." |
