On 29 January 2013, it was proposed that this article be moved to Recurring Saturday Night Live characters and sketches. The result of the discussion was page moved. |
I brought this up on the Gay Hitler page, but if anybody has any suggestions for categories that can include a number of these characters or sketches, please suggest them. I was originally planning on writing a stub for each of them in due time, but I think it would be smarter to categorize, and have larger articles. Possible categories:
Tommy Flanagan, The Pathological Liar appeared on Update, but I wouldn't call him an Update character. He made 18 appearances, so maybe he just warrants his own page.
Other suggestions?
There's been some controversy over whether impressions should be listed here. There's way too many impressions that have come out of Saturday Night Live to list them all. Many characters straddle the line, however. Baba Wawa, I would consider to be a character rather than an impression, seeing as she has a different name. There are also a lot of TV show sketches (Prince Show, Joe Pesci Show, etc.) that have a certain formula to them that makes them unique, so I think they're warranted. But things like Gerald Ford, George Bush, Lina Wertmuller, don't qualify in my opinion. Leadpipevigilante 00:01, 7 November 2005 (UTC)
Well SNL has had a lot of characters and impressions over there years so I feel like impersonations should go up here SNLfan123 ( talk) 22:31, 8 December 2019 (UTC)
When did Carol! ( Horatio Sanz) first appear?

I would love to see the original muppet routines included here. I thought they were a riot. If I understand these categories correctly, I would place them under short lived recurring characters.
The bits were called the Land of Gortch.
In an effort to address the massive disarray and random formatting of Wikipedia's coverage of recurring SNL sketches, I've begun an effort to merge the various lists and pages into a single list of recurring sketches, split by their year of introduction (i.e., beginning with Recurring Saturday Night Live characters and sketches introduced 1975-1976). The content of the following pages would be merged:
Among the issues that would be resolved are a) there would be a logical place for information about every SNL recurring sketch, instead of randomly highlighting those that happen to be about animals, music, or TV parodies; and b) it would be tremendously helpful in cleaning up the vast number of recurring-sketch redirects that currently go to pages that don't have any actual information about that sketch, because under the new format, we would know, based on the sketch's date of introduction, where information about that sketch would be located.
I have begun drafting these new pages in my userspace; the first is at User:Theoldsparkle/snl1 and they go sequentially from there (up to 10 right now). I would ask that any comments be centralized at User talk:Theoldsparkle/snl1. Theoldsparkle ( talk) 22:14, 22 November 2011 (UTC)
The result of the move request was: pages moved. Apparently uncontroversial. Malcolmxl5 ( talk) 18:35, 21 February 2013 (UTC)
– As one of the main people who work on the recurring SNL sketch pages, I find the chronological list to be much more useful and more navigable, as well as better maintained, than the alphabetical list. I thus think the chronological list should be the "main" one. Theoldsparkle ( talk) 16:31, 29 January 2013 (UTC)
Some sketches don't seem to lend themselves to easy titles, for purposes of listing them. I was wondering if anyone might have thoughts or suggestions about better ways to refer to these:
Just wanted to put the question out there in case anyone has an idea. Theoldsparkle ( talk) 14:09, 22 March 2013 (UTC)
There are a few sketches over the seasons involving "never before seen" screen tests of famous movies (Back to the Future, Star Wars, The Lion King, Top Gun). While these are different movies, they have the same idea. Would these be added to the recurring sketch list? Rosalina2427 (talk to me) 04:10, 18 March 2018 (UTC)
I agree I agree because SNL has had a lot of parody screen test you can say and I actually do think they can be a "Recurring" sketch. SNLfan123 ( talk) 22:36, 8 December 2019 (UTC)
All of these lists are very small and contain a lot of unnecessary information. These should be merged to this article in a table format, something like Name, Debut Date, Principal Actors, and Description. Unless the sketch is notable enough to have its own article, there's no need for expanded lists of episodes for these minor sketches. I can't imagine all combined would be overly large, but they could be split by decade if the resulting page is overwhelming. Starting with just season one for now to make sure it's not a waste of time. TTN ( talk) 17:40, 24 January 2020 (UTC)
Same as the other one. If this one receives no comments as well, I'll try one more and proceed to merge them all if nobody opposes. TTN ( talk) 23:09, 25 March 2020 (UTC)
Why doesn't Season 41 have its own page with the list of sketch appearances anymore? I remember there used to be one for Season 41 like the other seasons, what happened to that one? Also should there be the same thing for every season that doesn't have one yet? 2600:8805:E007:1A00:E153:D54B:F19A:118B ( talk) 02:20, 25 April 2023 (UTC)
