My Favourite SNL Clips - Anwen Garston

I LOVE SNL.

The writing is superb. The sketches are often ridiculous but there’s always something that makes me laugh. The cast are amazing and I love how current/topical a lot of the sketches are.

As far as I know, the whole show isn’t available in the UK but you can watch the sketches on SNL’s YouTube channel.

Here are some of my favourite clips (in no particular order) although there are many more:

Christmas Ones (since it’s the season)

The Christmas Candle

This is gold, and I’m embarrassed that I’ve learnt this off by heart now…

Sumpin Claus

Hillary Actually

Visit with Santa

Santa Baby with Ryan Gosling

Sexual Discrimination

Claire from HR

Welcome to Hell

I think this strikes a chord with most women.

Sexual Harassment Charlie

I wrote about sexual discrimination generally earlier this year. This following clip made me laugh.

It’s true. Almost everywhere I’ve worked there’s at least one door man who is inappropriately friendly or a bit too touchy feely… I experienced this recently and almost made a formal complaint. The guy chilled out however, and now I’ve embraced being called “beautiful” or “sweetheart” or whatever else on my way to work, (I have bigger things to worry about…).

There’s no way I would tolerate any of my male colleagues or counterparts speaking to me in that way though!

Double standards do exist.
