Ladies and gentlemen of the jury, I'm just a caveman. I fell on some ice and later got thawed out by some of your scientists. Your world frightens and confuses me! Sometimes the honking horns of your traffic make me want to get out of my BMW.. and run off into the hills, or wherever.. Sometimes when I get a message on my fax machine, I wonder: "Did little demons get inside and type it?" I don't know! My primitive mind can't grasp these concepts. But there is one thing I do know - when a man like my client slips and falls on a sidewalk in front of a public library, then he is entitled to no less than two million in compensatory damages, and two million in punitive damages. Thank you.

This brings up my biggest gripe with SNL. They get a good sketch or character and then run it into the ground. Church Lady was the bomb, twice. Then, just annoying. Why keep using a single sketch until even teh studio audience won't laugh at it anymore. There were some excruciating Toonses episodes, before they quit using it.

That being said, I really like Unfrozed Cavedude Lawyer guy.

open on interior, airport bar, group of salesmen laughing and drinking

First Friend of Brasky: Bill Brasky is a son of a bitch! Do you fellas know Bill Brasky?

Second Friend of Brasky: Hell yeah, I know Bill Brasky! He's a big fella, goes about 6'4", 280. He loves his Scotch!

Third Friend of Brasky: He does! He's a hell of a salesman!

Fourth Friend of Brasky: To Bill Brasky!

Together: Bill Brasky!!

Third Friend of Brasky: Did you know Bill Brasky is the godfather of my son?

Fourth Friend of Brasky: Bill Brasky?

First Friend of Brasky: He's a big fella!

Second Friend of Brasky: Oh yeah, he's a big guy! Goes about 6'7", 385.

Third Friend of Brasky: Well, anyway.. he shows up at the church in his golf pants, caked in mud. Well, ol' Bill Brasky pushes the priest aside and says, "I'll baptize that piece of calimari!" Then he pours Scotch all over my baby son and says, "There! You're baptized!"

Fourth Friend of Brasky: And your son is blind to this day!

First Friend of Brasky: Yeah, he makes brooms somewhere in Georgia, doesn't he?

Third Friend of Brasky: I have no idea. [ pause ] To Bill Brasky!

Together: Bill Brasky!!

Second Friend of Brasky: Did I ever tell you about the time Bill Brasky sold me into slavery?

First Friend of Brasky: Well, if you're talking about Bill Brasky, I believe it!

Second Friend of Brasky: Oh, yeah! He puts me on a ship to Thailand, right? And I'm chained to a pipe. Meanwhile, ol' Brasky, he's back in the States siring three beautiful children with my wife!

First Friend of Brasky: I hate Bill Brasky.. but I respect him!

Guy At Bar: Are you talking about Bill Brasky? I know Bill Brasky!

First Friend of Brasky: Then let me buy you a round!

Third Friend of Brasky: Hey, easy, Hank, easy.. To Bill Brasky!

Together: Bill Brasky!!

Fourth Friend of Brasky: Did I ever tell you about the time Bill Brasky showed up at my daughter's wedding? You know my daughter, she's a beautiful girl.

First Friend of Brasky: I tell you, I'd like to have sex with her!

Fourth Friend of Brasky: Well, Brasky shows up.. and you know he's a big fella.

Third Friend of Brasky: Goes about 7'8", 530.

Fourth Friend of Brasky: Well, he's standing right between me and my daughter at the ceremony. He's got no right to be there, but he's drunk and he's Brasky! Well, long story short: the priest accidentally marries me and Brasky! [ the guys laugh ] Off! Off! Off! We spend the weekend in the Poconos - he loves me like I've never been loved before!

Second Friend of Brasky: Best damn salesman in the office!

Together: Bill Brasky!!

Third Friend of Brasky: You know how Brasky served three tours in 'Nam?

Fourth Friend of Brasky: Uh-huh!

Third Friend of Brasky: Well, I'm in Corpus Christi on business a month ago, and I had this eight-foot tall Asian waiter.. which made me a little curious, so I asked him his name, and sure enough it's Ho Tran Brasky!

First Friend of Brasky: To William Robert Brasky!

Second Friend of Brasky: Oh, yeah!

Fourth Friend of Brasky: Hey, you ever go camping with Brasky?

Third Friend of Brasky: Many times.

First Friend of Brasky: I went camping with Brasky, his wife, and his daughter Debbie!

Third Friend of Brasky: Debbie Brasky?

First Friend of Brasky: Debbie Brasky. She's 7-years-old, goes about 3'5", 55 pounds. So, I'm in the back of a pickup with Bill Brasky and a live deer! Well, Brasky, he grabs the deer by the antlers, looks at it and says, "I'm Bill Brasky! Say it!" Then he squeezes the deer in such a way that a sound comes out of its mouth - "Billbrasky!" It wasn't exactly it, but it was pretty good for a deer!

Third Friend of Brasky: That's Bill Brasky!

Together: Bill Brasky!!

Fourth Friend of Brasky: I once saw him eat a whole live chicken.

First Friend of Brasky: His favorite movie is "One on One" with Robby Benson.

Fourth Friend of Brasky: Bill Brasky once gave me a videotape of him having sex with my wife, and it was the most beautiful damn thing I ever saw!

Second Friend of Brasky: I have that tape!

Guy At Bar: [ turning around ] So do I!

Third Friend of Brasky: To Bill Brasky! A ten-foot-tall, two-ton son of a bitch who could eat a hammer and take a shotgun blast standing!

Together: Bill Brasky!!

Big Booming Voice: [ from extremely tall figure in upper camera angle ] Did someone say Bill Brasky?

[ the guys get excited and raise their glasses in the air towards Bill Brasky ]

Together: Bill Brasky!!

[ fade ]

I am fond of some lesser known SNL characters:

Gilda Radner as totally drugged out rocker Candi Slice, who had to be revived to perform her act, her handlers slapping her awake and walking her around to get her conscious enough to sing. Her best song: "Dammit Mick, dammit Mick, lips so big. Are you woman are you man? I'm your biggest f---ed up fan!"

Gilda Radner as the Hispanic cleaning woman who was a secondary character in several skits. She could not speak English except for "I clean up ok?", but always got offended by some Anglo character and then started spitting like a Latin soccer fan.

Dan Ackroyd as Richard Nixon. He mad the creep seem even creepier.

One of the funniest, and I believe the only time they did this character: John Belushi in the horror-like production of "The Thing That Wouldn't Go Home." It was one of the older SNLs, probably before they showed it in OKC. Belushi played this really gross, obnoxious, loud party guest who sat on the couch at someone's home and would not go home from their party. Each clip forwarded to a later time in the evening, and Belushi would be feeding his face and drinking, food and beer coming out of his mouth, belching, making loud comments. Jane Curtin and Dan Ackroyd were the home owners. Each clip Jane Curtin would look at Belushi and them let out an anguished cry and fall into her husband's arms in frustrated tears because Belushi would just not go home.
