The past couple of days I was trying to think of some clever way to fit the adjective “Cowperthwaitean” into a post, realised I couldn’t, but then got me thinking about Miles Cowperthwaite’s exponentially disgusting employer, played by Dan Ackroyd, who required a drool cup that needed to be constantly replaced, and had a tendency to dry hump the leg of the nearest person when excited.
Maybe not quite as disgusting was the large ass family, and Belushi playing the wild n’crrrrrrrazy Festrunk brothers’ grandma, who had these large breasts that kept on moving all over the place.
Any others that maybe “squelched your appetite”?
Massive Headwound Harry was a bit unsettling: https://www.nbc.com/saturday-night-live/video/massive-head-wound-harry/3505897
I remember watching it in my dorm and being unable to finish the pizza I’d ordered.
That was the first thing I thought of. Also Dan Aykroyd’s Julia Child bleeding all over the kitchen.
Buck Henry’s Uncle Roy:
“Hi, girls! There are presents for you in my pockets!”
“Why not bounce on the bed? I’ll take some pictures of you!”
“I’ll be happy to babysit any time.”
“Oh, there are more of me than you think!”
Jimmy Tango’s weight loss sycophant Will Farrell foolishly gets into a scanning contest with Jim Carrey. The result, at 4:30, is not pretty.
Also the first thing I thought of. Coincidentally, when I clicked on the link, an add for Skippy PB & J Bites came up. *They *kind of look like Harry’s massive head wound.
The skit with the girlfriend meeting the boyfriend’s parents - who like to feed him baby bird style- was pretty disgusting. You’d really have to be a good sport to along with that :eek:
This is the correct answer.
Possibly more insanely frenetic than disgusting, the idea behind SNL writer Micheal O’Donohue flailing madly about the stage in imitation of Elvis Presley having 18-inch needles plunged through his eyes was, sure, disgusting.
Chris Farley’s portrayal of Matt Foley, the inspirational speaker who lives in a van down by the river, was lovable while still being pretty damn disgusting.
I was gonna say Massive Head Wound Harry too.
But James Franco getting a paper cut while gift wrapping and proceeding to bleed all over the set and then puking blood into Leslie Jones’ mouth has to qualify. After that, Leslie could only retch for the rest of the sketch, couldn’t even say her lines.
Read the thread title and immediately thought of the Dickensian drool pot seizure guy. And then Massive Head Wound guy second. And then I though of Mr. Short Term Memory on a date at a restaurant whose line, “There’s food in my mouth. . . and it’s already been chewed!” was followed by him dropping the food out of his mouth in the most gross way possible. I could be wrong but, weren’t these last two both played by Tom Hanks?
Seems Will Ferrell did a lot of disgusting things but the only thing I can think of at the moment is him standing on a rotating platform and projectile vomiting as it went around. I’ve only sat through that sketch once.
Short term memory guy was. Massive Head Wound Harry was Dana Carvey. When the dog eats his head wound… Yuck.
Oh there’s also Farewell Mr. Bunting which I won’t ruin by explaining but it is a hilarious gross out.
First thing I thought of was Adam Sandler’s Outie Belly Button.
The breastfeeding family, with grandma offering up hers at the end.
Christopher Guest and Billy Crystal as the “you know what I hate” construction workers trading gross-out peeves.
Related, Norm MacDonald:
Rachel Dratch did a drooling inbred mutant with a baby arm coming out of her head that was pretty disgusting.
I also found Kristen Wiig’s baby-handed Lawrence Welk dancer disturbing.
I found the drunk guys telling stories about Bill Blasky (was that his name?) pretty disturbing.
Oh, don’t forget the first sketch Tina Fey ever wrote: Old French Whore!
I thought the Gap Girls sketch was disgusting. Not viscerally, but for what it implied. See, the previous season there was the “Delta Delta Delta, can I help ya, help ya, help ya?” sketch. Melanie Hutsell, Siobhan Fallon and Beth Cahill as obliviously shallow, frenetically cheerful sorority girls. Hilarious (except when Roseanne hosted, but she stunk up the entire episode), and laughing **with **. “Finally, they’re giving the women something to really do!” I thought. “Especially since, now that Julia Sweeney has Pat, they won’t let her do anything except Pat, and being the moderator for talk show sketches.”
But the following season, no more Delta. Instead, there were Sandler and Spade as the Gap Girls. Two ugly guys in wigs, actually four with Farley and Schneider, talking not like girls but like nasty gay guys. And the whole thing was nasty, definitely laughing at. Oh, they’re folding clothes and being mean and snarky, oh my sides. And then there was the Sassy sketch — GRRRR! Sassy magazine never had a male editor, it was never a fan magazine…I think Janeane Garafalo was right when she said, after her brief stint on the show, that Lorne Michaels would rather have had an all male cast and put the men in drag as needed.
(I am continually amazed and overjoyed at the way women are currently owning the show. Rah!)
