Saturday Night Live's Best Musical Comedy Videos
20
items Even in the not so great seasons, SNL has always done musical comedy videos (and related theater kid videos) well. Here are a few of my favorites.
If you want a sweet, hilarious song that explains why feminism is tough to nail down describe and define, check out this classic-with guest host Arianna Grande
(Not A) Feminist Song
Does Taylor Swift have naturally great comic timing or did the SNL staff coach the living heck out of her to get this amazing performance? Either way, it's hilarious and one of SNL's best “oh hey I'm just singing my monologue NBD” of recent years.
Taylor Swift Monologue Song - SNL
SNL is at its most hilarious when it's exploring the real life experiences of the cast and writers, so naturally this song about theater kids and their attempts at high school hijinks is a home run. But not a home run because they're theater kids, no...
Crucible Cast Party [feat. Lin-Manuel Miranda] - SNL
Will Farrell guests in this extremely wholesome video about the AP English teacher who came to the party. And didn't creep on the girls!
Party Song - SNL
Learn the Cha Cha Slide before you go to anyone's wedding!
Cha Cha Slide - SNL
I love the real Peter Paul and Mary AND this seems like it's a little bit too close to not being a parody, if you know what i mean.
Peter, Paula & Murray - SNL
There isn't as much singing as you'd like in this parody of High School Musical but the line “this is America's only singing high school” makes it all worth it!
High School Musical 4 - SNL
Keenan Thompson saying “they um, kind of overshot the runway on that one” is a golden, brilliant moment of comic timing.
High School Theatre Show with Emma Stone - SNL
The Weekend makes a special guest appearance on this SNL sketch about how these dudes really ended up thrown out of bed and onto…the couch!
On the Couch - SNL
"Tonight's performance might cause bouts of progress…" and also laughter. The theater kids are back with Elizabeth Banks!
High School Theatre Show with Elizabeth Banks - SNL
Oh Theater kids! Next time, they say, don't like, love!
High School Theatre Show with Reese Witherspoon - SNL
The look to camera with the added “wow” is the situation every adult who ever loved their theater kid offspring has cringed at.
High School Theater Show with Cameron Diaz - SNL
Watch. Then, if applicable, TEXT YOUR MOM!
Christmas Morning - SNL
Squid Game, but with singing, to a country tune.
When All You Can Do Is The Squid Game (Feat. Rami Malek) | SNL 47
Content warning: this gets very grim! Included here because Arianna Grande is hilarious and keeps singing in the same sweet tones even as things descend into not sweet. Also the singing couch pillows are next level.
My Best Friend's House - SNL
"It's our first pride together…but it's also our last…" Originally created for the 21 pride season, this is 100 relatable, pandemic or no
Pride Month Song - SNL
If you've ever relaxed to true crime, you will definitely relate.
Murder Show - SNL
It's almost a subgenre; SNL sketches you watch When You Go Back Home Again,
(Do It On My) Twin Bed - SNL
We do all hate kids who study abroad and come back with an accent. And also the word crotch.
Unity Song - SNL
The SNL cast and special musical guests SELL THE HELL out of this hilarious country parody.
Get That Boy Back ft. Chris Stapleton - SNL
