1. Superheroes party at Superman and Lois Lane's house. Bill Murray (Superman), John Belushi (The Hulk), Dan Aykroyd (The Flash), Garrett Morris (Antman). Clark Kent shows up after Superman "goes out for some ice" and Lois tells Clark that she had an affair with The Hulk, circa 1979.
2. Frank Sinatra's rountable discussion. Phil Hartman as Frank, Jan Hooks as Sinead O' Conner, Sting as Billy Idol, Mike Myers as Steve Lawrence, Victoria Jackson as Eddie Gormet, and of course, Chris Rock as Luther Campbell (2 Live Crew). Funny shit! Especially when Frank starts laying into Sinead, calling her "Uncle Fester" and "Cueball", circa 1992.
3. The 1992 Presidential Debates, with Dana Carvey as George Bush and Ross Perot, and Phil Hartman as Bill Clinton.
4. Chris Farley and Patrick Swayze auditioning as Chippendales dancers, circa 1990. (need I explain!)
5. Synchronized Swimmers. Harry Shearer and Martin Short as Olympic hopefuls in sychronized swimming, circa 1984. Harry gave up his accounting job and Martin's semi-retarted and can't fucking swim? Good stuff. Also Christopher Guest plays their choreographer, a rather gay man, very much the basis for Corky St. Clair in "Waiting For Guffman". Best line? When they're practicing their moves in the dance studio and on their knees pretending to paddle a canoe, Martin has a pained look on his face, and Christopher says "Wear kneepads next time!"
