The Sound of Music one with Ariana Debose was absolutely HILARIOUS! I never thought you could use Queen Latifah so well as a lyric 🤣.

[@trippyboi91]

@@laurayo3325nah, Ariana was introduced as another governess by Maria played by Kate Mckinnon. Trust me… I’ve DEVOURED that sketch 😂

[@iliketea1427]

I was originally concerned that Lobster Diner wasn't appearing, but am relieved to find it is ranked #1 (as it should). Lobster Diner is a classic!

[@amylynn3821]

So glad Diner Lobster was #1. It was an instant classic.

[@supernerd1643]

I think some of the funniest ones have to be the Crucible Cast Party and the Wells Fargo Wagon Parody. Ones a perfect reenactment of a high school post show cast party that accurately and hilariously pulls out every high school theater program trope. The other is a clever explanation and call out to the Wells Fargo scandals from throughout the years.

[@tejaswoman]

Concur with both your picks!

[@jonathangriffin8060]

You forgot the sketch with Jimmy Fallon and Tina Fey singing the song "Saturday Nights", which was a parody of "Summer Nights" from Grease. The sketch was on Jimmy Fallon's last show as an SNL cast member. I loved that sketch!!! 😂

[@Tattooedmommy1847]

I remember that!

[@andrewgrove1691]

The annie one was funny. Making daddy warbucks a cannibal was great

[@christinadavenport5822]

cobras and panthers (west side story parody)

[@BClarke]

I was waiting for that one!

[@jeanaerowley7150]

I’m a Gen X and I remember putting the VHS tape of, “Sixteen Candles” for my 9 year old daughter. Yeah…totally forgot about the booby shower scene and date rape 🤦🏼‍♀️

[@SusanneSmith-rj8yt]

Lobster Diner is hilarious. Kenan as the crustacean Jean Valjean - priceless.

[@Tattooedmommy1847]

I remember the “Saturday Nights” parody with Jimmy Fallon and Tina Fey!

[@leesashriber5097]

This was a great list!! The Sound of Music was so funny. 😂 And RENT subbing diabetes for HIV. Perfection.😂 Thank you my friend. 😊

[@missamericana.4]

Wells Fargo Wagon parody with Lin Manuel Miranda?!?!

[@marcusyates3044]

SpongeBob and Beetlejuice! RANKING All Songs from Said Musicals!

[@jesserivera2043]

A historically accurate The Greatest Showman. That needs to happen

[@johnseelinger9803]

There's also a SNL parody where Mary Poppins (played by Anne Hathaway) explains what Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious is; spoiler alert, it's a disease of the liver that's fatal and contagious (the latter being for grown-ups). There's also the SNL skit for "You're a Rat Bastard, Charlie Brown" which is obviously a parody of "You're a Good Man, Charlie Brown."

[@aimeeromley4189]

Every once in a while “there is no Seattle. There is no Denver. There’s just looooooooove.” gets stuck in my head. 😅

[@lewisb9226]

Norm Macdonald's west side story parody should be number one, let alone not even on the list!

[@JaylinWillis-wz1fk]

You should do when George Lopez tackled serious issues

[@samuelcollantes1175]

To me, it would definitely be "HSM 4". Happy saturday afternoon, Emily, take care and God bless you. Greetings from Colombia to you as well.

[@myrnahuichapan7624]

Nope, not in my neighborhood. Friend's mother had a local Dance Studio, some in local children's theater and musicals.

[@makenziekate1523]

The Legally Blonde one was making fun of the Red Room show.

[@waittillfamewtf2385]

SING 3: Saturday Nightmare

[@cindyjill1]

Omg love all these musicals

[@KatyMontana434]

The HSM 4 one with Zac Efron is so underrated.

[@PedroR1989]

greetings from Brazil 🇧🇷 here a low-budget TV station tried to make a version of SNL but quickly failed (note: the program WASN'T ON SATURDAYS, IT WAS NOT ON AT NIGHT, AND IT WASN'T DONE LIVE 🤣🤣🤣 It could have been called "SUNDAY AFTERNOON RECORDED" 😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@baylinkdashyt]

I was disappointed that they did the wicked lick at the end of that one number, and did not go up for the rebound.

[@bellasalceies4138]

I find it very odd that the 'Save Broadway' skit predicted Phantom closing last year.

[@octaviosanchez1051]

Please do top 10 best tom kenny voice roles

[@leahsundvall5894]

My daughter’s first play. Guys and Dolls, middle school 8th grade. Awful and awkward. Exactly like the sketch.

[@jamesbonnen]

You've never seen the Steve Martin and cast musical number how they are gonna give it their best. Not sure what year but Chris Farley was in it

[@erinmalone2669]

John Mulaney is a musical genius, and if you have not seen documentary now, do yourself a favor and watch co-op the musical!

[@ZeacorZeppelin]

I love it

[@furzinvonknodenhov846]

Hej all, I cannot for the life of me find that Mucisal Promo Scetch about the little ditties we sing to ourselves - does anybody have a link to that one? Thanks :)

[@trust5977]

Not acknowledging David Byrne’s appearance in the Airport Sushi sketch is an embarrassing oversight. Shameful.
