* Music/JelloBiafra's punk character who woke up from a coma after being knocked out in 1986 and ranting about all the "Yuppies" (Hipsters) he sees after getting out of the hospital! Especially funny with the punk witnessing the Yuppies doing expensive recreational activities (e.g. the foodies), relaxing in the middle of the day (e.g. the Yogis, while most people that time of day would be at a job) and/or having expensive pets (e.g. "It's a corgi!") and calling them out by name while they retort a Hip term for their activity. Culminating in finding two homeless punks with drums and begging them to tell him how people have let Yuppies take over, and doing an impromptu song with them, "No more yuppies! Die yuppie scum! No more yuppies!" before the male punk annoyingly tries to recompose the song:

* Basically ''all'' of the Women and Women First/Feminist Bookstore sketches. Toni and Candace are just wonderfully passive-aggressive (and sometimes just full-on aggressive) to anyone who isn't them and have no business or people skills whatsoever. Watching regular people wander into the madness that is their store and then becoming desperate to escape it is never not funny.
