In search of an obscure SNL skit

Sign in to disble this ad
Bill Murray as Hercules. I have scoured youtube & got every imagineable(& several truly unimagineable)Hercules but the classic Murray/Radner/Akroyd/Morris lineup. Comments are also welcome...

Edit: I just found several under 'Il returno de Hercules', but the videos have all been removed. <---despondent

A lot of that stuff has probably been removed because of copyright stuff. That may be tough to find.

Oh, I missed this part. This one I found http://www.jibjab.com/view/215359 is one with Billy Murray, Dana Carvey, and Norah Dunn from the 90's. Was there even one with Gilda Radner and Dan Akroyd in it?

Man- I love you.
I dunno, though- this clip rang so many bells that I'm wondering if the whole Akroyd/Radner/Morris vision is just a phantom memory.
But it seems the premise(to the one I'm half-recalling)was that they(Akroyd & Radner)were dubbing English dialogue to a Greek-language film(starring Murray, Morris & others..).

I remember the Bill Murray one. One of my favorites. An out of shape Hercules (Murray) is challenged to lift a giant rock, and says something like: "That boulder is too large. I could lift a smaller one." Then he throws out his back. Hilarity.

In fact, I quote a variation that skit around the house... My son will ask me to slide the couch over so he can have more room to play Wii, and I'll say "That couch is too large. I could move the coffee table" in a similar voice to the dubbed one in the skit.

IMHO one of the best sketches ever (apart from the immortal cowbell) was the one with Cameron Diaz doing a TV kid show (something with a train) where they made plays on an acronym that spelled Friendship Unity Caring Kindness.

I almost crapped my pants laughing ...oh, and most of the Celibrity Jeopardy are just classics!

Crap, Youtube gets blocked at work so I can't watch it until I get home. I remember watching that skit when it first ran and thought that it was funny enough on its own. But my wife, who never quotes anything from TV and movies, couldn't stop using the "That rock is too large, I'll lift this smaller one" line after we saw it. When we moved into our first house 18 years ago, she was saying that with everything that she carried in. Hearing her butcher the line was even funnier than watching the skit.

Then two weeks ago we moved into a new huose and she was doing it AGAIN!!! There were quite a few times I was trying to carry something heavy and had to put it down before I dropped it from laughing too hard.


Edir based on post below - Force of habit since there are more posts with YouTube links than many other sites. But JibJab is blocked too.

It's not a YouTube link, it's JibJab...whatever that is. YouTube never allows this stuff for long.
