Top 10 Great Skits of All Time
#10 How do you harness unwavering confidence in any social situation? By knowing that whomever you're talking with has a wallet full of pennies that have been up your ass. Hearing a businessman scream on a golf course about shoving 3,000 pennies into his anus daily is notable on its own, but in 1998, when televised comedy was restricted to premium channels, low-ebb SNL and MadTV, it was a breath of fresh air. — John Constantine
#9 In a hysterically unsettling portrayal of barely controlled frustration, David Cross hosts an absurd pre-taped call-in show (on his own show, Mr. Show), and can't understand why his listeners can't grasp the concept. I spent the first two minutes of this sketch trying to figure out how a pre-taped call-in show could actually work, before realizing that it can't, which is the source of Cross's irritation. Framing the scene is an elderly man who sits next to him, silent and serene throughout the skit. The ending is what takes it from intelligent to genius, a perfect portrait of the exasperation of live-broadcast entertainment. — WD
