* ''SNL'' once featured a sketch with Joe Pesci playing his "Goodfellas" character buying a pinkie ring. He goes to the mirror to try it on and begins miming a conversation which ends as an angry argument full of [[ClusterFBomb F words]]. Today, censors would pixillate his mouth and no one would get the joke.

Just For Pun is a disambiguation


* In an appearance by [[Film/WaynesWorld Wayne and Garth]], where they discuss the 2011 Oscars, they mention Creator/NataliePortman, and Garth says "I could make Creator/{{Mila|Kunis}} [[JustForPun out of her]] [[CountryMatters Kunis]]!" Even Wayne was shocked.

* The Nude Beach sketch, in which the word "penis" is said practically every other line. It concludes with them ''singing'' about penises, only interrupted when Kevin Nealon breaks character and addresses the audience: "Hi, I'm Kevin Nealon. What you just saw was an attempt to make an important point - that wherever you go, no matter how you look on the outside, we're all pretty much the same. You know, when the Standards Department was dissolved here at NBC, we welcomed it as an opportunity to deal with issues like these in a frank way. And to be honest, we're a little disheartened by the snickering we heard during this presentation. It kind of makes us wonder if there's room for serious discussion of these subjects on television. So to those of you who missed the point - grow up. Really."

* There was the "Sofa King" commercial from the season 32 episode hosted by Shia [=LaBeouf=] with musical guest Music/AvrilLavigne [[note]] This was the episode that had the "Dear Sister" digital short that not only became a FunnyAneurysmMoment two days later with the Virginia Tech shooting, but became MemeticMutation following the video's deletion from Website/YouTube for copyright reasons[[/note]].

* The conclusion of one of its Celebrity Jeopardy skits which had Sean Connery's final answer being "Buck Futter". In fact, Connery would often invert this trope with his insistence on reading the genuinely mundane categories as something obscene, such as pronouncing "Therapists" as "The Rapists", "An Album Cover" as "Anal Bum Cover", "The Pen is Mighter" as "The Penis Mightier" and when answering in the category "Foreign Flicks", answers "Ursula Andress, Catherine Deneuve and Charo. Twice." Trebek is confused, but then looks at the category, written in all caps as FOREIGN FLICKS, and says "that's ''flicks'', Mr. Connery, foreign ''flicks''."

-->'''Santa:''' Let's see what's on his wish list - oh Scrabby, you spelled "flashlight" wrong!
* In a season 45 episode hosted by Chance The Rapper just before Halloween, the Halloween sketch featured Chance as a ghost who enjoyed electrical stimulation, and died by [[TooDumbToLive sticking a metal rod up his ass to get off from a lightning bolt]]. It features the following line, which seems to imply he was at least successful in his goal before dying:
-->'''Ghost (singing)''': and my face caught on fire and ''I went in my pants'', happy Halloween!
* During [[https://youtu.be/Oep9zYiQDus a sketch]] in which a man (Luke Null) consults with a plastic surgeon (Creator/JohnMulaney) about getting his horn implant removed, he calls his girlfriend (Heidi Gardner) into the doctor's office. Her first thought why they were in a doctor's office was because ''she'' was pregnant, but the boyfriend reassures her that she "can't get pregnant from the sex [they] have."

* [[https://youtu.be/9iDOCLOqFyw "Jingleheimer Junction"]] was a parody of children's shows with characters personifying Unity, Caring, and Kindness -- with their initials written on their shirts. However, the show starts descending into chaos when they introduce a new character, [[FunWithAcronyms Fred Friendship]] (Creator/WillFerrell), and the remainder of the cast insists that he is important enough to be at the front of the line. That is, except for Jingleheimer Joe, who immediately notices that ''maybe'' that's not a very good idea. Then there's also the "togetherness song" that's sung toward the end: "You can do it anywhere, in the park or on a chair... in and out, in and out..."
