SNL's Best Moments in Food and Drink

The most memorable sketches featuring food and beverages





This is a OMG! ROTFLMAO! post for you today. It features videos of the funniest sketches on Saturday Night Live.

I am sure you will remember these. They are snortingly hysterical:

• The Olympia Restaurant - This legendary sketch features John Belushi, Dan Akroyd, and Bill Murray as the impatient owners of a Greek diner that only serves cheesburgers, chips, and Pepsi.

• Duncan Hines Brownie Husband - This commercial parody struck a chord with single women everywhere. A spoof on the wave of microwavable single-serving desserts being touted by companies like Duncan Hines, the life-size Brownie Husband makes for the perfect companion. The short features shots of Tina Fey romantically embracing, and then devouring, her fudge-y lover.


• Schweddy BallsAlec Baldwin has hosted (and made cameos on) SNL so many times that it's almost easy to forget that he's not a member of the regular cast. This sketch, which features him alongside Molly Shannon and Ana Gasteyer, is undoubtedly one of his most memorable. Molly and Ana play the hosts of a fictional NPR show called "The Delicious Dish" and Alec plays Pete Schweddy, a bakery owner who specializes in preparing a variety of dessert balls. Plus now, thanks to Ben & Jerry's, fans of this sketch can get a taste of Schweddy Balls-flavored ice cream for a limited time. 

• The Bass-O-MaticDan Akroyd stars in this one as a salesman promoting the wonders of his new product, the Super Bass-O-Matic '76. Why roast, grill, or poach a bass for dinner when you can pulverize the whole fish in a customized blender?

• Zagat'sComedy power duo, Chris Farley (in drag, no less) and Adam Sandler demonstrate the peak of marital bliss as Hank and Beverly Gelfand in this sketch. As the host of "Zagats", bubbly Beverly flips through the restaurant guide and reads descriptions of the places that sound interesting to her disgruntled husband.

• Hamm and Buble This piece features Jon Hamm and Michael Bublé as the owners of a new restaurant serving a variety of pork dishes and sparkling wines (get it?). Jon Hamm describes the elegant experience that Hamm and Buble diners are sure to enjoy while Michael Bublé covertly describes the nature of the pair's working relationship through song.

• Colon BlowIn this spoof on commercials for high-fiber breakfast cereal, Phil Harmon plays a man who finds out that the average high-fiber cereal he's been eating is truly no match for Super Colon Blow.

• Taco TownTaco Bell may combine hard and soft tacos in items such as Crunch Wrap Supreme and Cheesy Gordita Crunch, but only at Taco Town can you get a taco that's also wrapped in a pizza, crepe and pancake — oh, and it also comes served in a promotional tote bag.

• Coffee Talk with Linda RichmanMike Myers stars as Linda Richman, a stereotypical Jewish woman from New York who is the host of a show called "Coffee Talk". The sketch was a recurring bit on Saturday Night Live, but the most notable moment included Madonna and Roseanne Barr as Linda's friends who get exceptionally "verklempt" when their idol, Barbara Streisand makes a guest appearance on the show.

• Pepper Boy Seasoned pepper grinder, Marco (played by Dana Carvey) teaches the newly hired Carlo (played by Adam Sandler) the art of being a pepper boy. Marco goes table to table and sensually adds fresh pepper to plates of diners at the restaurant.



Have a great day today.

Keep Singing!

  1. I love the old SNL I just can not watch the anymore. I feel the cast can not even hold a candle to any of these comedians. Hate to be negative but it is just my opinion.
