Sml better
There was one sketch from the current season called 'Wing Pit', an innocent big game (since advertisers can't use the phrase "Super Bowl", as the NFL currently trademarked it) advert for a fast food restaurant from the start, then it went sinister at the end.
This list is pretty weak, the Weekend Update has made jokes darker than any of these sketches, especially when Norm was doing it. Next time just show the sketches in order without saying anything, that would be much better.
Yes the one with the Bobby Moynahan as the boss and Beck Bennett as the employee he sexually assaults.
Spelling Bee with James Franco is missing
Honestly dark comedy is one of my favorite genres of comedy
No question
Old Opie and Anthony was the best at that I think. There were times in over 1,000 hours 4-5 hours a day, 5 days a week for over a decade where I had to cover my mouth while I’m laughing and go “Jesus Christ man!”
Old Stern too. Billy West was great and when Artie Lange became a 3rd mic, it was my favorite era.
Same. Alot of these were hilarious
Dark comedy is like food for children. Not everyone gets it
@@NotCoolNancy that describes it perfectly
The Rosetta Stone commercial parody is hilarious. Bill Hader especially killed it with his performance in this sketch.
worlds evilest invention is an easy top 5 sketches of all time for me
its genius in every way
Luckily for Vanessa Bayer, the next year's big game brought some romance with the Totino's.
Was that the one with Kristen Stewart?
Tu es mon Totino...
There were a couple skits with Julia Louis-Dreyfus, the “Heroin AM” and one where she was trying learn about the internet, with a bunch of creepy guys. The Heroin AM skit has always been a favorite.😂😂
There was one about people trying to learn about myspace in a class. While one mother wanted to learn about it so she can relate to her daughter more, all the middle aged men were learning so they can "mingle" with young kids, teenagers. It's really creepy and disturbing to watch. Especially since it's really relatable and mostly true in today's world of social media.
It could have been an appropriate addition for this video too
Dark…!? More like HILARIOUS
Notice that almost all of these have will farrel? Lmaoo
I noticed it as well lmao
Speaking of Will Ferrell, I'm surprised that the workout routine sketch with Jim Carrey didn't end up on this list. The revelation that drugs were involved and Will having either a psychotic break or becoming The Devil was enough to make that one truly memorable.
Will didn't really do "dark"...nor did the writers during that era....more "over the top" stuff...
Dad...it's just Isis 😂
the drematic reboot of Family Matters deserves a honorable mention as well.
Rest in Peace Chris Farley, Phil Hartman and anyone I forget.
Will Farrell
@@Pedalbored isn’t Will Ferrell still alive?
@Pedalbored and P Soujourner yes Will Ferrell is still living. Norm MacDonald just passed away recently, though.
Signed Gary’s family member T
Gilda Radner
LOL...that would be Belushi, Gilda Radner, Charles Rocket, Danitra Vance, Jan Hooks, Gilbert Gottried, George Coe, Tom Davis, Tony Rosato, Michael O' Donoghue, the short-lived (oops....pun ALWAYS intended..) Dan Vitale, Peter Aykroyd, and Norm MacDonald I guess you could count Don Pardo too....the "announcer" is certainly a mamber of the cast...AND he appeared on camera...
You missed the one with Brian Cranston portraying the sleazy real-life British game show host that liked to kiss little girls on TV in the creepiest of ways, this was quite the shocking SNL skit, I was expecting for it to be #1.
So he was playing Jimmy Saville
It was actually based on a Canadian talk show host
@@welcometothemovies9157 I don't think Jimmy Saville was ever a game show host.
@@FatherTime89 well he was a host on TV
@@welcometothemovies9157 Well yeah but this isn't a parody of Saville, it's a parody of someone else. And not just because Saville wasn't a game show host, he didn't act like this on air. This is a parody of a different host that did.
The MySpace class was the best
Wake Up and Smile and Mr. Belvedere Fan Club are super underrated.
The obvious #1 dark skit now is when John Belushi visits a graveyard of all the other cast members.... (dark, now after he died first)
I'm not surprised The Rock's "Most Evil Invention Contest" was number one
From Saturday Night Live, one of my favorite sketches was from the TV Funhouse segment called “Saddam and Osama.”
I remember watching Farewell Mr. Bunting live and remember laughing my ass off with my parents when Pete got his head sliced off! 😂
Haha…me too
It made me jump then cry laugh. When he says “I’m gonna take off” 😭😂😂
Kanyes favorite snl skit
Most ceiling fans wouldn't do that. They would have to have industrial fans. Its funny though cuz it sets up the indifference to the bloodbath.
Loved “meet you second wife” skit
Meet Your Second Wife would probably work in real life if Jared Fogle, Chris D’Elia and R. Kelly were the contestants.
Honestly surprised the Safelite sketch wasn't in here.
To be fair, Roy was just trying to win the most evil invention contest. I'd say he succeeded.
I knew from the beginning what number 1 was gone be it’s no sketch darker 😂😂
You CAN'T forget Uncle Roy
I thought Toby's House with Michael Keaton never made it to air? It's here on CZcams if anyone's interested.
Canteen Boy with Alec Baldwin as far as I know is the only one where SNL addressed it the next time Alec hosted. Adam Sandler came out during the monologue in full Canteen Boy attire as Alec apologized to him and redid the sketch properly.
I still can't believe Dwanye "the Rock" Johnson just has such great comedic timing. I can't help but laugh at that sketch.
i can if you have been watching him since 1998
@@Kobe24brady12 same
That and the "Evil Child Molesting Robot" sketch
@@Breexbloodlust ppp 11:02
@@meerkatman9843 lol
Dark humor will make you laugh and think harder than any other kind of comedy.
0:27 This is actually one of my favorite sketches. This pulls straight out of Sam Peckinpah’s Salad Days from Monty Python 😂
What does it say that these are also some of my most rewatched sketches…
The future wife one they get younger each time😭
I think that in reality, That sketch is the darkest on this list by far. Hilarious!
@@johnnytmcq especially the one that wasn't even born yet🤣
@@multifandom12380 It's just honest... 😬
@@johnnytmcq I think number one is darker. Number two happens....likely on a daily basis. Age gap relationships are commonplace; we just rarely make the correlation that when men are in their 30s and 40s, their future wives are 14, 5 or not even born. The Rock's robot is darker IMO. Evil intentions like shrink rays and freeze rays aren't REALLY evil; robots that do unthinkable things to our youth that will eventually perpetuate the cycle of abuse is truly evil, and thus, darker.
It's dark but the third wife is the nail in the coffin
The father daughter ad is shocking .
My 4&5 year old brothers in law were staying at our house the night The Tizzle Wizzle sketch was on 😂. They were so excited and started dancing at first and then were just super confused.
We need more !
Insert Kyle Ren meme! " More!"
I had a feeling the kid diddling robot would be #1.
You missed the chance the rapper killed his parents skit
TOP 10 Darkest Preschool Shows
No mention of "Mr. Westerberg"?
You left off a Great One.
In my Opinion One of the FUNNIEST SKETCHES of SNL
THE POLAR BEAR SKETCH
Chris Farley, Norm MacDonald, Adam Sandler, Tim Meadows , and Jay GayLord Mohr.
ITS A BLOODY CLASSIC!!!
oh man i cant belive how many of these i missed!, i gotta look these up thanks yall, this shits comedy gold, and your right, modern writers would never... they dont have the balls to make comedy like this anymore.
japanese gameshow manages to still impress me
mike meyers near fluent japanese is amazing especially since when translated. its not random words.hes actually saying what a real host would say with actually questions like how many keys on a piano etc
Two omissions: anything featuring Michael O'Donoghue in the first season, and Beck Bennett in the Safelite Auto Glass commercial parody
8:03 This sketch actually seems to satirize the common problem with most manager characters in various comedy TV shows.
Thanks for bringing those up again, they were all great , ill have to watch them again on CZcams, if they didn't ban them , the cork suckers and I love my car were also hilarious, snl is much tamer now
Most of these are from the recent past.
The Tizzle Wizzle Show reminds me of Yo Gabba Gabba!
I feel like the only one missing is the Safelite Ad sketch where Beck plays a Safelite tech who's stalking a mother and daughter
I remember watching the Shark Tank skit in a business class in high school. Everyone thought it was funny.
So the fizzle wizzle sketch was bodies bodies bodies
Nothing makes a joke funnier than describing it in detail.
You forgot the old Dan Aykroyd skit where he played Julia Child doing a cooking show. She cuts herself and proceeds to bleed all over the place while her life flashes before her eyes. I was about 11 or 12 when I saw that and it literally gave me a nightmare lol
LOL...how do you KNOW that her life flashed before her eyes?? The camera never leaves Aykroyd/Child...
@@bradyguy7701 why would the camera staying on her have anything to do with it? she talks about remembering when she was a little girl, basically reliving the memory LOL
“Save the lover!” Edit- I meant, “Save the liver!” but I’m leaving the typo for the humor.
Thanks for describing what I’m watching, and often talking over the actual sketch. Most helpful.
Yeah seriously. This channel sucks. Playing the clips is all that’s needed. I don’t need their commentary and weak analysis
The Totino's one is one of the best
Maybe not dark but creepy…
The recent American Girl Cafe sketch
The one with Jonah Hill and “Brutus” the monkey he does research on.
What about the class teaching adults how to use MySpace?
If the one where Adam Driver impales a dead bird prop with a cane isn’t on the list idk what I’m gonna do
Thank For The Video 🙊🤯🥰💕💞💗
Darkest sketch I remember was in ‘97. Days after the Heaven’s Gate cult’s mass suicide, SNL’s cold open was a “Nightline” spoof, where Ted Koppell reveals the cult was right about being picked up by a spaceship, then proceeds to interview the cult leader and his followers via satellite.
Will Forte as the sex offender halloween costume was perfect
You missed the most infamous one, though it was wisely rejected and was never performed. In 1979, not long after the Jonestown massacre, the opening skit proposed involved soldiers and medics walking through the audience, who were all laying about the studio as if dead. Finally, they pick up the wrist of a cast member, and the person jumps up and says, "It's alive, from New York..." Easy to see why it was rejected.
Well, if it was never aired, then they didn’t miss it. They’re talking about sketches that did air.
I'm a HUGE SNl fan/historian, Frank....I can't believe I've never heard of that one... Do you have any more information on that sketch? Who was the host?? When was it rejected?? Thanks.
@@bradyguy7701 it’s just a joke
@@babby4450 Ahhh....got it. You never know., considering that SNL DID censor jokes on WU about Jonestown. It sounds like something O'Donoghue would want to do.....but he was fired at the end of the previous season. (Although his version would have been much darker...) OR it sound like a bad one-joke (or often NO joke) sketch from Doumanian's horrific 1980-81 tenure and cast...
Except that Jonestown happened in 1978...in fact, they interrupted SNL with Breaking News about the massacre... Oddly relevant...
Can you make a top 10 Rebecca moments video from watchmojo
Dark humour is my thing
The evil boss sketch showed the death by trident just like in Anchorman.
I'm shook that the Heaven's Gate cold open from the 90s didn't make this list.
They forget the one about Jeffrey Dahmer in death row, and "Dysfunctional family feud" (one of the questions is "Whats one thing you commonly find in your closet" to which the daughter replies "my father")
One that should have been added was the Vic Salukin show sketch from the infamous Donald Pleasence/Fear episode from season seven.
Djesus was brilliant and an absolute classic!
What about Mr. Westerberg?
Personally, I thought the number one sketch on this list dose a good job illustrating just how absurd the evil genius trope has become in modern fiction. Freeze rays and shrink rays are jokes when you compare them to truly evil acts like the one Dwayne Johnson’s character points out during his pitch for the most evil invention. Even the twist where they reveal the whole sketch to be an ad for a fast food restaurant serves to drive the point across that some people or institutions don’t care who you are or what you do as long as you are willing to contribute to their bottom line-which, from my perspective, is what’s truly evil about crony capitalism. It just goes to show that, while the writers at SNL were likely trying to push certain boundaries, they wound up teaching audiences a poignant lesson about how we should never make light of topics such as the nature of evil and villainy.
Massive Headwound Harry!
As I watched this, I laughed every time she said "the implications"
Season 6 of SNL had some somber and dark sketches that I remember being oddly poignant or bittersweet, even when they weren't exactly funny (depending on your sense of humor).
True. Little of that year was "funny"....but some dark stuff for sure...
After watching this. I see where will Farrell got some of his ideas for Anchor man. The teleprompter, the trident, and the tv antenna. Ha
I was 99% sure #1 would be #1.
I guess whatever puts a large amount of money into Lorne Michaels's pocket.
The One Tree Hill, Dear Sister skit was great. It was so dark it was pulled from re airing.
Djesus uncrossed was the best!
The After School sketch where Natasha Lyonne has a negative effect on everyone and Andrew Dismuke's character is narrating the whole thing from beyond the grave, because she murdered him, dark and hilarious!
When it comes to religion, maybe it’s considered dark for SNL. But then again, we need more dark comedy these days. The ones from the 90s were hilarious, especially when Chris Farley was still around.
Now as for the most topical issues that are used as the punchline these days or not so long ago? They seem harmless depending over how it's delivered onscreen.
I'm surprised that acupuncture sketch with its fountains of blood didn't make the list.
17:58 this would’ve been for funny with leo decaprio
Snl peaked like 2010
Agree after the mid 2000’s group left the show. Kristen, Jason, Andy, Bill, Fred, John, Bobby and finally Seth the shows not been the same at all! Plus these lot was the last group that really pushed the boundaries to the point that they just managed to stay on that line and not cross it.
But a certain group of people trying to cancel Bill’s Stefon character due to the M word he used to describe “little people” and it wasn’t the actual group of people who he was talking about that tried to cancel him. It was other people getting offended for and on behalf of said community that they wasn’t even apart of themselves! A lot of people (and there’s plenty of videos online) from that community actually sticking up for Bill and telling other people to mind their own business as they wasn’t offended by what he was calling them.
Some even either dressing up as things he’d called them like “human fire extinguishers” showing themselves reacting to his Stefon videos or doing both.
And that same group of people being offended by Bill and Fred’s “two guy’s from New Jersey” characters. Again tried to get Bill as well as Fred canceled because they found the characters offensive even though they’re not part of the LGBTQ+ community. Again people in the 6ay community having to come out and defend both guys and telling others to mind their own business because they can speak for themselves.
And that’s just two off top of my head at almost 4am I can think of. People have been trying to cancel Bill for years over some of his SNL characters. Leave the man alone! He’s given us some of the most memorable and iconic characters the show’s ever had and a small group wants to have them canceled and never shown again.
People need to get a grip! Bill has admitted in multiple interviews that most of his iconic characters would never work now and wouldn’t even get pass “Idea Mondays” as it’s called if he or him and John was to come up with the characters now, especially Stefon.
That’s how messed up the world is today with the way some people think and get offended by everything. Can you imagine the show without Stefon? the most popular character that’s ever been created on SNL and is the reason why he always makes it to number one on lists of SNL characters.
@@user-fp5vf9qh3i Stefon was great. But he is NOT SNL's "most popular" character. Not by a long shot. Maybe not even Top Ten.... But yes...funny.
woulda traded tornitos with the almost pizza but yea nailed it.
Thanks watchmojo for telling me how i should feel about dark comedy.
I’m surprised Pranksters with Christopher Walken didn’t make the list.
I remember of a christmas one, early 80's, a christmas tree that kills...
Mr. Johnson..the ROCK..THIS AND BAMBI...HAD ME ROLL'N🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣💎
@Mojo this may not be considered dark comedy, but there was a sketch which explored how when a father is a big boss on a job, and he has a daughter, who is not very attractive, or is not very well behaved, he will try to bribe a man into marrying her. it was a very funny sketch with Fred Armisen, Kate, McKinnon, and guest star, Joseph Gordon Leavitt as the daughter. They sang about her flaws to the guy they were trying to get to date her. LOL.

Two ISIS jokes. Wild.
Crazy that canteen boy only made 8.
I laughed so hard at most of these 😂
ChatGPT can now write CZcams clip-package scripts.
All of these are top or close to top of their game.
Dark humor is a line of hilarity that not all can take or understand.
Farewell Mr Bunting is Kanyes favorite skit
Forgot the Mr Westerberg sketch
You know Mojo! Link to the original SNL YT video would be a nice touch (Next time).
The one where Bradley Cooper hosts and he & a bunch of guys reveal some really dark & perverse secrets while singing;
"I'm the one who wants to be with you
Deep inside I hope you feel it too!" Etc.
The Safelite commercial parody with Beck Bennett. Scrubbed from CZcams.
There's a rarely mentioned sketch from the early 2000s where John Goodman,Colin Quinn,Chris Katan, and Cheri Oteri are actors on a kids show but during an episode, there's frequent breaking news segments about how Goodman and Quinn killed Katans character and are eventually killed by swat team all while the kids show is segmented in.
I thought of that one as well!
Happy Smile Patrol I think... Brutal.
I love that sketch. It doesn’t get talked about enough
Can’t believe the insane one with Dr. Johan Hill and the talking monkey wasn’t on this list: the plaintive expressions of Brutus as a victim of beastiality were so dark and tasteless, it surely couldn’t be made today. But God was it funny. 😂
Yeah, Brutus definitely belongs.
Roach-X Plus+ should have been on here.
oh right yeah that one was messed up
