When Saturday Night Live first came out, it was experimental and funny. Sometimes jokes went nowhere...and awkward embarrassing pauses followed. They were the first ones to do spoof commercials like Flucker's jam that had flavors like painful rectal itch and nose hair. It sort of was ripping off Monty Python and their crunchy frog routine.
Belushi was a madman and Animal House made him wildy out of control.
Quoting: Anonymous Coward 72341210 Yep, very true. I watched every single episode, 1975 though 2006, approximately. Then they got to partisan political & I stopped watching. Didn't think it was funny anymore. Flucker's jam was on their troupe comedy album as well, from 1973 through 1974, when most of the "Not ready for prime time players" were on National Lampoon's Radio Hour. They repeated a lot of those sketches on the show. Gilda, Belushi, Lorraine & Chevy Chase were also part of 'Second Cty' comedy troop in Toronto & in Chicago, where they honed their comedic genius & craft. The newer cast members and years had their moments, even the dark 1981 had a few gems, especial Julia Louis Dreyfuss, Gail Matthias & Ken Kazerinsky, who I thought was very funny, but people hated them because they weren't the original cast.
