- DeathJux, on 09/23/2008, -1/+23Nick Burns, your company's computer guy? I don't know if he was under-appreciated, but I laughed my ass off at his accurate antics.
- notbob, on 09/22/2008, -0/+21Phil Hartman had the best characters. Mike Myers All Things Scottish was also a classic.
- w00tdigg, on 09/23/2008, -1/+22RIP Phil.
- floppydrivez, on 09/22/2008, -0/+20It is amazing how many people got their acting start on SNL.
- gonegoogling, on 09/22/2008, -2/+20Blizzard Man is funny as hell.

- hydroplane, on 09/22/2008, -1/+13What about Merv? That's Merv the Perv.
- coldkill3r, on 09/23/2008, -2/+13God, SNL sucks compared to their older works.
- nipterink, on 09/22/2008, -1/+10seriously, i never though he was under appreciated at all. everyone i know loves him.

http://video.yahoo.com/watch/148995/951695 - Foenetik, on 09/23/2008, -2/+11this list is worthless without videos.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zXINJyu2h38 - seansmyth, on 09/22/2008, -2/+10Dang - forgot about Tiny Elvis. MacBigot is right - loved Middle-Aged Man. Love it more now since I'm now middle-aged.
- Herv3, on 09/23/2008, -2/+9An SNL list, spread out over 10 clicks and no videos? Bury this shift. You're better than this Digg.
- TheMrEman, on 09/23/2008, -0/+7It's hard to call some of these "under-appreciated." Unfrozen Caveman Lawyer was pretty popular as I recall (appearing almost weekly?), Anal-Retentive Chef, too. But Phil Hartman can't get enough credit. Ever.
Major omission: The Brasky Bunch.
"Bill Brasky used to walk his pet cobra through the park on a leash. He named the cobra Beverly and he taught it how to fetch and dial a phone. But then one day it bit the maid. So with tears in his eyes Brasky had to shoot the maid." - inactive, on 09/22/2008, -0/+7Tiny Elvis? Really?
- Deadpixel1221, on 09/23/2008, -0/+6SSSAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAASSSSSSSSSY!

- jcharak58, on 09/22/2008, -1/+7That was a great skit... don't know why anyone would say its underappreciated
- purzzzell, on 09/23/2008, -0/+5I think SNL is always worse than "you remember it"
Though my favorite is late 80's/early-mid 90's, but that's when I watched.
I gave up on 'the new cast' of the mid-late 90's - the cheerleaders nor Mary-catherine gallagher did anything for me. - gaqua, on 09/23/2008, -0/+5It's funny how this gets repeated every few years.
The original 70s cast was talented but had a lot of ***** sketches, the mid-80s were awful, the late 80s/early-mid 90s was phenomenal with a few ***** sketches thrown in there, and the late 90s began a downward spiral that we're still in with only a few bright spots (Tina Fey's weekend update, Amy Poehler, arguably Will Farrell, etc).
Wonder what happens if it gets good again someday. - mzx639, on 09/23/2008, -0/+5What about Middle-Aged Man, and his sidekick, Drinking Buddy??
- RobotKeaton, on 09/23/2008, -0/+5You can't really call Stuart underappreciated. He got his own movie.
- jayfish, on 09/23/2008, -0/+5"The Barry Gibb Talk Show."

I'm sure I'm missing some, but it's remarkable how many big stars got their start with SNL... - xtothepowerofx, on 09/22/2008, -0/+4mango was done to death and not that funny to begin with... astronaut jones anyone?.. or velvet jones?... maybe there's another one with jones i can't remember... either way the moral of the story is that black people are funnier than white people :P
- threemagic, on 09/23/2008, -0/+4I don't think either of those are under appreciated...
they are legendary! - purzzzell, on 09/23/2008, -0/+4Rob Schneider's "Y'put you're weed in there" guy :D
"everything scottish if it's not scottish it's CRAP" - Asianwaste, on 09/23/2008, -0/+4Looooooooooothaaaaar
of the Hiiiiil Peeeople! - CitizenSweeps, on 09/23/2008, -0/+3Dugg for Blizzard Man and Unfrozen Caveman Lawyer.
- BTraina, on 09/23/2008, -0/+3i still miss the guy.
- ReplicantSeven, on 09/23/2008, -0/+3Dieter of SPROKETS fame?
- Thrash16, on 09/23/2008, -0/+3I believe it was relatively short lived. I really would have enjoyed a longer run of that particular skit.
- purzzzell, on 09/23/2008, -0/+3With this posting I'll begin the list of the top >10 most OVERRATED SNL characters
Spartan cheerleaders
Mary Catherine Gallagher
Pat (It's Pat)
reply with the recurring characters you hate! - JBHasty, on 09/23/2008, -0/+3"join us next week when we have a dog and a baby dog, THAT SOUNDS CRAZY!!!"
- dmanmax99, on 09/23/2008, -0/+3The trivial psychic has always been one of my favorite sketches.
- whalt, on 09/23/2008, -0/+3Whatever you say Tiny E.
- parentheticguy, on 09/23/2008, -1/+4Toonces the Driving Cat. The Cat That Could Drive A Car, But Not Very Well...
- purzzzell, on 09/23/2008, -0/+3you're missing MANY.
Steve Martin, Tom Hanks, and Billy Crystal got their start there though???? I question the accuracy of those three. - PhillyMJS, on 09/23/2008, -0/+3I second that. We are definitely poorer for having lost him. Especially The Simpsons.
- ColonelT, on 09/23/2008, -0/+3Can anyone find a clip of the Phil Hartman "Sassy" sketch? It looks like they've all been removed from the Internet.
- acmaurer, on 09/22/2008, -0/+3i know - it's pretty incredible when you think about it.
- katedog, on 09/23/2008, -0/+3Headwound Harry. Maybe this goes under favorite unappreciated skit, but still had to give a shout out.
- boojoy, on 09/23/2008, -0/+2These are great - when SNL isn't doing "The [insert celebrity impersonation here] Show" for 8 minutes straight, it can do some funny stuff.
