10 Best SNL Sketches, Ranked by YouTube Views

Everything shifted in December 2005 with the release of the “Lazy Sunday” sketch. This funny rap song, created by Andy Samberg and Chris Parnell (along with Samberg’s comedy group, The Lonely Island, who joined SNL that season – Samberg as a performer, and Jorma Taccone and Akiva Schaffer as writers) quickly became a hit on YouTube. Fans unofficially uploaded the song, and it gained over six million views. Although NBC had those videos taken down, it became clear that YouTube was the go-to platform for viral comedy.
