Great SNL Political Parodies from the Past

[Danny White]

From the SNL tangent of the other thread, I went searching for some previous SNL political parodies and came across some real gems that I thought I'd link.

I was surprised that so many of these were online.

It reminds you of how much funnier the show used to be. Even though the theme of many of them was "boy is the Republican stupid" it was done much more cleverly.

Clinton at McDonalds was great. I miss Phil Hartman.

Dan Akroyd as Jimmy Carter giving advice to a guy hopped up on drugs is a great skit as well.

Chevy Chase as a psuedo-Ford is good as well. It was funny when he responded to a fake debate question, "No one told me there would be math involved or it was my understanding that there would be no math, in the debate."
