#01: COWBELL
"My name is Bruce Dickenson. Yes, the Bruce Dickenson." Again, this is a one-joke skit, but it's executed gloriously and accentuated beautifully by Christopher Walken's portrayal of a cowbell obsessed "genius" producer and Will Ferrell's frenzied and winded back-up percussionist. Yeah, the t-shirts are everywhere, but don't let the pop-culture over-saturation take away from this truly inspired, stand-alone SNL outing. This is the best of the best!

[ open on John Belushi, Decathalon Champion, preparing to do the Olympic high jump on a sports field ]
Announcer: John Belushi is on his way to a gold medal in the Decathlon! They're setting the bar at seven feet - here's his approach.
[ John Belushi runs toward the bar. Quick cut to John jumping over the top of the bar. Quick cut to John landing on the grass. ]
Announcer: He got it! Belushi's won the gold, now he's going for the world's record!
[ cut to John Belushi running a long-distance sprint against other runners; he wins the race, and his fans crowd around him ]
[ cut to John seated like Bruce Jenner at his breakfast nook ]
John Belushi: [ as he holds a lit cigarette ] I logged a lot of miles training for that day. And I downed a lot of doughnuts. Little Chocolate Donuts. They taste good, and they've got the sugar I need to get me going in the morning. That's why Little Chocolate Donuts have been on my training table since I was a kid.
[ cut to John Belushi going for the gold in the pole vault ]
Announcer: Little Chocolate Donuts. The donuts of champions.

Agreed, that's the first one that came to my mind although if I really thought about it I could probably think of a dozen I like better than that one. The Matt Foley skit where he went to the Spanish family's house was pretty damn funny too.

Solid list.... don't agree with cowbell being number one though. I probably would've added Bad Idea Jeans, Synchonized SwimmersComment -

bag ole glass i assume is Akroyd's skit about selling children toys. Akroyd was always great and still is about playing a sleazy type of salesman/con-man.Originally posted by statnerds
dick in the box is considered a SNL digital short, which the list said didn't count.Comment -
I loved bag o glass. It s a bag o glass, what can go wrong?Comment -
