Random Best Saturday Night Live Sketches of the 1990s (20 items)

  (#8) Coffee Talk

  For everyone who ever wanted to see Mike Meyers portray a stereotype of a middle-aged Jewish woman with a thick New York accent, "Coffee Talk" was absolute 'buttah.' Meyers portrayed talk show host Linda Richman as Richman and other hosts, played by the likes of Madonna and Roseanne Barr, answered calls and proclaimed their love for Barbra Streisand. In one notable sketch, Streisand herself even appeared on the program, much to the surprise of the actors and characters alike.

  (#15) Simon

  Spoofing a BBC television program, Mike Meyers appeared in the recurring "Simon" sketches as the title character. Simon filmed his show from the most-reasonable place for a young boy, the bathtub. Simon liked to 'do drawings' and share his bath with a variety of characters while uttering his catch phrases such as 'cheeky monkeys' and 'bum lookers.'

  (#19) Opera Man

  Showcasing his vocal prowess, Adam Sandler often appeared as a guest on the mid-show news program "Weekly Update" as Opera Man to tell the news in song. Opera Man was just one of many musical characters played by Sandler on "Weekend Update" as the comic also debuted his popular holiday songs, such as the "Chanukah Song" during the segment.
• 

  (#17) The Ladies Man

  One of several Saturday Night Live sketches to prompt a feature film, Leon Phelps was "The Ladies Man." Portrayed by Tim Meadows, "The Ladies Man" provided dating and sexual advice to callers in a 1970s setting. His advice, which often consisted of an answer of 'the butt' no matter the question, was not the best, but funny nonetheless.

  (#11) The Roxbury Guys

  Striking out with women on a regular basis during the 1990s, Doug and Steve Butabi, played by Chris Kattan and Will Ferrell, were "The Roxbury Guys."  Easily distinguishable in their rayon suits, The Roxbury Guys enjoyed visiting clubs, bobbing their heads in unison to "What is Love," and gyrating against unwilling women as much as possible. Kattan and Ferrell later took the characters to a movie, A Night at the Roxbury.

  (#14) Pat

  Perhaps the best androgynous fictional character ever, "Pat" was a popular recurring sketch that revolved around the title character, played by Julia Sweeney. No matter how hard the co-stars of the sketch tried, no one was ever able to determine Pat's gender. Like many sketches from the decade, Pat spawned a film, "It's Pat," however the film was widely panned.
