8	The following ''SNL'' {{meme\|ticMutation}}s have not been ready for prime time [[LongRunners since the mid-70s]].
9
10	----
11	* Any combination of characters in a car, edited to headbopping to "What is Love" as per the [[Series/SaturdayNightLive SNL]] skits about the Roxbury Guys; the one with Creator/JimCarrey joining them, as the first such sketch, is apparently the best known.
12	* Then there's the whole "Dear Sister" meme, which [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vmd1qMN5Yo0 started]] as a ''Series/SaturdayNightLive'' spoof of the ending to the second season finale of ''Series/TheOC''. Just depict someone dying violently (particularly by gunshot), [[{{Overcrank}} slow down the scene]] for maximum JustForFun/HolyShitQuotient, and play [[SoundtrackDissonance the "Mmm, whatcha say?" portion of Imogen Heap's "Hide and Seek"]], and BAM! Instant [[{{Narm}} funny]].
13	* At its various peaks of comedy, SNL is practically a meme generator, as the popularity of [[http://www.funnyhub.com/videos/pages/SNL-lazy-sunday-narnia.html "Lazy Sunday"]] (a rap by two white kids going to see ''[[Film/TheLionTheWitchAndTheWardrobe Narnia]]''), [[http://www.funnyhub.com/videos/pages/snl-more-cowbell.html "Needs more cowbell"]], and Justin Timberlake's [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WhwbxEfy7fg "Dick in a Box"]] (Um... ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin) would attest.
14	** ''[[Music/TheLonelyIsland Last week, I saw a film.]] As I recall, it was a horror film. Walked outside into the rain, checked my phone and I saw you rang and I'' [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4pXfHLUlZf4&feature=fvw JIZZED IN MY PANTS]]
15	** ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R7yfISlGLNU "I'm on a BOAT!"]]''
16	** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gAYL5H46QnQ I THREW IT ON THE GROUND!]] I'M NOT A PART OF YOUR SYSTEM! MAAAAAAAAAN!
17	** [[Theatre/RosencrantzAndGuildensternAreDead I've frequently not been on boats.]]
18	*** No. What you've been, is not on boats.
19	*** ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NisCkxU544c "Like a BOSS!"]]''
20	* Guess what!? This trope has a fever, and the only prescription...is more cowbell!
21	* We are going to '''pump''' ''clap'' '''you up!'''
22	* Don't forget [[Creator/NormMacDonald Norm [=MacDonald=]]]'s continuing hypothesis: GermansLoveDavidHasselhoff.
23	** You guessed it. Frank Stallone!
24	* Makin' copies...
25	* Well isn't that special?
26	** Could it be...SATAN!? [[labelnote:explanation]]both of the above are catch-phrases of Creator/DanaCarvey's "Church Lady" character.[[/labelnote]]
27	* [[Film/{{Coneheads}} We]] [[BlatantLies are from France.]]
28	* Well, you know how, every year, (insert much-hated sports team of choice) comes in with impressive stats and all the hype, and, EveryYearTheyFizzleOut!
29	* (pompously) Ladies and gentlemen of the City Council, [[ContemporaryCaveman I'm just a caveman]]. Your world frightens and confuses me. When I see your tall buildings and flashing neon signs, sometimes I just want to get away as fast as I can, to my place in Martha's Vineyard and when I see a solar eclipse...I think "Oh no, is the moon eating the sun?" ...because I'm a caveman...but there is one thing I do know. The new resort housing development proposed by my partners and myself, will include more than adequate greenbelts for recreation and aesthetic enhancement. Thank you. (smug grin)
30	* "[[Creator/SteveMartin Well, excuuuuuuse me!]]"
31	** We are two wild and crazy guys!
32	* REEEALLY.

The bit became a popular subject for parody, invoking it in reference to either Franco himself or any news story that is constantly reported well past the point of obviousness.[[/labelnote]]
47	* [[SophisticatedAsHell Jane, you ignorant slut.]]
48	* Discussions of DA BEARS! and Mike Ditka as a MemeticBadass. (When Ditka left Chicago, they continued with a sketch about the fictional Bill Braske, continuing the same joke.)
