Been thinking about it for a while, but now that we have the _Has SNL cut down on unfunny recurring skits?_ thread, it seems like a good time. For my money, the funniest has been Justin Timberlake and the _‘Bring it on down to \_\_\_\_ville’_ skits . Just something about the brash confidence, the stupidly over-sized costume and the slick dance moves always made me laugh.
