* [[GossipyHens Benita Buttrell's]] sketches are hilarious, complete with great one-liners and disses against her neighbors and acquaintances. Her best indults were reserved for Miss Jenkins, who she claims to idolize, love like a mother, and gets so angry at anyone else insults her, but was extra harsh on her:
-->"...just don't go near her house. House so dusty, even the roaches are ridin' around in dune buggies!"\\
"...just don't let her take her shoes off. Feet smell just like a dill pickle!"\\
"...just don't let her get too close. Her funk's so bad, they'll put [[UsefulNotes/BerlinWall that wall back up in Germany!]]"\\
"...and speaking of shaves, she could ''use'' one! That woman's so hairy, she looks like [[Franchise/StarWars Chewbacca]] with a weave!"

* Blaine and Antoine's various opinions on the "Men on..." sketches:
** For their "Television" one, they dismiss numerous then-current shows on the "Big Three" networks (and Creator/{{Fox}}).
** They claimed that Creator/{{NBC}} stood for "Nothing But [[Series/TheCosbyShow Cosby]]" while writing off ''Series/TheFreshPrinceOfBelAir'' because it didn't have to do with the "Music/{{Prince}}" they were thinking of and ''Series/TheGoldenGirls'', citing "Who cares about three old White heifers in a house?"
** They dismissed Creator/{{CBS}}' ''Series/DesigningWomen'', stating, "I don't know who designed these women, but they need to go back to the drawing board!" and said, "that's why they call it CBS, because that's all you see: B.S."
** They call Creator/{{ABC}} "Ass-backwards and Country" and completely blast ''Series/{{Roseanne}}'' and deciding to review shows of the past and giving their new "pattycake snap", [[WhamShot Blaine gets hit by a falling sandbag for no reason at all and "changes" to straight.]] When they finally review ''Series/MarriedWithChildren'' and Blaine disagrees with Antoine's negative view of the show and compliments "the blonde" (Kelly's) bust, citing how it looks like she had two midgets in there, this happens:

* Whenever the audience helps to enhance a scene, such as during the Pee Wee Herman doll skit and the part with him [[ADateWithRosiePalms "beating his drum"]], one woman's ''screaming with laughter'' makes it all the more memorable.

* ''The Exxxon Family''. A clumsy sea captain (played by Jim Carrey) is about to head to work and even having breakfast with his wife is still a challenge for him: [[WalkingDisasterArea he rips off the spout from the coffee container, he spills the rest of it on the floor, he uses curtains to clean up the mess, he uses flour to absorb]] ''[[WalkingDisasterArea that]]'' [[WalkingDisasterArea mess and finally sets the kitchen on fire,]] all while his unknowing wife cheerfully washes dishes and tries to downplay the oil spill he made. At the end of the segment, we see the reason why he crashed the tanker: [[spoiler: [[AlcoholInducedIdiocy his "lunch" is a bottle of sherry.]]]]

* ''Any'' time there was {{Corpsing}} in a skit. Most noticeably within the "Men On..." skits, particularly "Men on Television" after Blaine got hit in the head and was knocked out, where both David Alan Grier and Damon Wayans couldn't hold in their laughter or crack a smile.

** The spoof also showcases his HairTriggerTemper and him getting mad at his guests to the point of punching them out. He does this to Sinbad for his "lousy" jokes about women with big butts (which he himself likes) and he also does this to ''a cockatoo'' for being "greedy" for a cracker.
