Name the funniest and least funniest SNL cast member ever

[Beth76]

Can't stand him, have never laughed at anything he has done.

Didn't you see the skit where he played a synchronized swimmer? He and his brother (not sure who that actor was) were trying to get men's synchronized swimming into the olympics. But they were having difficulty because for one thing "Lawrence couldn't swim" (MS character). They showed him swimming/dancing with a nose plug on.

Or what about the skit where he was playing the owner of a whoopie cushion company that was being sued? OMG! That was hysterical!

My favorite is a tough choice between Will Farrell and Dana Carvey. WF *might* get it simply because of the Gene Frenkle skit. "Guys. I'm telling you. You're gonna want that cowbell."

So many funny ones-Gilda Radnor, Chevy Chase, Dana Carvey,ect.

Not funny at all- Charles Rocket, small black haired man that was there at same time as Charles Rocket, and the guy who played the goat boy. See, they were so bad I can't even remember their names.

Does anybody remember their names?

Funniest: Gilda Radnor, followed by the rest of the original cast


Not funny: Chris Farley


I usually tape the show so I can fast forward thru the bad skits, it just isn't that funny anymore, but every now and then they still come up with a good one. I think it was last year when Janet Jackson hosted, they did a skit about cork soakers at a winery, , it was a classic.

Eddie Murphy as Mr. Rodgers cracked me up. Dana Carvey as Church Lady had me in stiches. Two that come to mind.

I love SNL now and have from the beginning.

There isn't anyone I think I really disliked, but there have been people all along who get introduced, but I never see them in anything I remember. For instance, in recent shows, what skits do Finesse Mitchell or Andy Samberg do?

I can't come up with one name I think is funniest. I adored the original cast and the cast with Eddie Murphy and Joe Piscopo. Later on, came Victoria Jackson (Tounces the Drive Cat), then Mike Myers and Adam Sandler. And I think the stars of the current cast (i.e., the ones who actually appear somewhere besides the opening credits) are stellar.

I laugh my head off at Darrell Hammond doing Dick Cheney or Chris Matthews. I think almost everything Amy Poehler does is great (ever see the "Trainwreck" skit where she plays Anna Nicole Smith? LOL!). I love Maya Rudolph doing "America's Next Top Model" and Condi Rice.

And so forth. Can you tell I'm a fan?

BTW, isn't it Will Ferrell?

 

[Planogirl]

Funniest for me: Dana Carvey. I just adore his impressions and I miss Church Lady. I also loved Dennis Miller and Phil Hartman.

Least funny: David Spade comes to mind. I've just never got him.

 

[MOMTOMOOTOO]

I loved Phil Hartman and Gilda Radner two comic geniuses IMHO

I haven't watched in so long but the least funniest to me was Dan Akroyd

 

[Patch'sD]

Funniest Was Dan Ackroyd; Bass-o-matic was a classic.

Least Funniest Chevy Chase; Could not even do the news.


The show was never the same after the original cast left. They were the best.

 

[declansdad]

funniest: Phil Hartman, hands down


Least: Jane Curtain

 

[perdidobay]

Funniest...Original Cast
Least funny... Cheri Oteri
