(#14) Bad Ballet

(#8) Coneheads
No list of classic original SNL sketches would be complete without including the "Coneheads." In this sketch from Season 2 of Saturday Night Live, mom and dad Conehead (Dan Aykroyd and Jane Curtin), are struggling with their rebellious daughter, Connie, (Laraine Newman). Ely Turnbull from the IRS (Steve Martin) also pays a visit. Fried chicken embryos, anyone? -
(#2) Bag of Glass

John Belushi's portrayal of a sword-wielding, totally insane samurai made for some of the best original SNL skits in the show's history.
