Kate McKinnon is so fucking funny she had me in tears with her Justin Bieber impression. She was so spot on and when she does his facial expressions and poses.....classic. I think I am in love with her now lol best impression I have seen in a long time.
John Belushi coming out on stage un expectedly as Joe Cocker performs, dressed just like him and imitating him to a tee was one of the best ever. Too bad the judges weren't born yet.
mgeorgejags that's how you say her name in french. Cuz Celine Dion is from Canada where a good portion of the population speak Canadian french as well as English. It's actually the second official language, if not the first. If I'm not mistaken.
mgeorgejags that's what I was thinking but I was gonna chalk it up to probably being the Mandela Effect. Like if your on my level and know what I'm talking about!!
Kate is hilarious, no doubt. I laugh my ass off every time I see her doing 'The Bieb'. She's got talent. But I'm afraid that she would get only a child size slice of the cake because you and anyone who agrees with you is simply too young to appreciate the kind of impact that Eddie Murphy's impressions had on SNL fans back then. Did you hear him sing? You were not listening. Eddie shocked American viewers that night with Stevie Wonder. Stevie is a legendary, iconic, multiple award-winning singer/composer. And Eddie matched him note for note that night. In fact, the performance was so well received that Eddie went on to release 2 Billboard Top Ten songs. Seriously. Two of them. Top Ten songs in all American music for at least a week.That kind of talent cannot even be approached by anyone on the current SNL cast. If anybody wants cake, they have to ask him. Not convinced? Why don't you do yourself a huge favor - watch Eddie Murphy's Delirious. And, in advance, you're welcome
My only complaint about this video is that I would've liked to have seen more of each of them! SNL has been mass-producing amazing talent since I was 17, and their impressionists are incredibly good!!!
Really impressed by that last second, the look on Eddie's face where he's like, "Damn, I can't believe I get to be on the stage with this man." So much respect in that one little expression.
You need a top ten impressions by Kristen wiig. Even that would be difficult. Her Drew Barrymore, Kathy Lee, Susy Orman, Jane Pauley, Madonna, Greta Von Scartch, Felicity Huffman + more Tina Feys Palin too
than why did ya watch this if ya ever seen watch mojo or ms mojo they talk its called a voice over show search up the dam show if ya want to see it with out voice over kapeish 👌😒can ya teel ya inoy me with theas coments
Beckey do you not have any idea what fair use is? They can't show the entire thing without discussing it, because that's copyright infringement. If you want the full unedited clips, go look at some 200 subscriber copyright infringing channel who's brave and/or stupid enough to upload them. Also, they aren't telling you what to think. They are stating opinions. If you can't handle them, get off the Internet.
Ellen Cleghorne a Natalie Cole, Mike Myers and Dana Carvey as Mick Jagger and Keith Richards, Adam Sandler as Axl Rose, Sting as Billy Idol, Kenan Thompson, Finesse Mitchell, Amy Poehler and Jon Heder as The Black Eyed Peas... and so many others.
The BEST SNL parody ever was the 1979 Village People skit with Bill Murray as the construction worker, Belushi the Indian and Dan Ackroyd as Leather Man. Watching Bill Murray trying to gyrate made me laugh so hard my stomach nearly burst.
Mia as beyonce,phil as frank&eddy as stevie(the 2 together was hilarious!),kate as justin and fred as prince,are my favs.jay pharoah does everything funny
Belushi's Cocker impression was so good he could do it next to the real Joe Cocker and you couldn't tell the difference. I agree that it's a crime that it wasn't listed.
greenmonsterprod belushi did do cocker right next to him. he even had someone sneak to cockers dressing room to find out what he was wearing so they could dress alike
jewpart2 Omg I know! I usually don't watch anything from mojo anymore because she just cannot stop explaining every minutiae like we are all brainless morons.
This is a good list. One of my absolute favorites outside of the parodies listed here would be Gail Matthius as Irene Cara singing "Same." I can't find any videos of this, but fortunately I made an audio recording of it when it aired when I was in college. (It was during the pre-VCR days.) You can hear me trying not to laugh (and failing) on the recording, as I wanted to capture it clearly. Funny, funny stuff!
Have to give Piscopo props. He ended up not doing much after SNL, but pretty much every one of his skits with Eddie Murphy was sheer genius. His Sinatra was phenomenal.
nicholas holmes Céline Dion in French sounds the same as Céline Dion in English. I'm not sure how else to explain this to you. (coming from a bilingual person). The video pronounces it incorrectly.
I LOOVVE Vanessa Bayer's Miley SOOO funny ! I know this was a singer parody lineup but Maya Rudolph also did a hilarious imitation of Donatella Versace .
John Belushi as Joe Cocker was better than half of that list. You make the list look like it was made by someone who's only watched SNL for the last 10 years and saw Eddie Murphy on a RUclips video.
I will always love Kate McKinnon's impression of Bieber. Spot on.
Adri Chibi I always wondered who play Bieber.
Everything Kate does is great.... she's gonna go down as one of the top SNL players of all time.
To my opinion,it should have been higher on the list...
Adri Chibi That Kimye impression is the best. I miss Jay Pharoah!
Adri Chibi it's not as much a spot on impression as it is a hilarious parody. But I loved it too.
vanessa bayer's voice as miley is so spot on!!
The Liza Minnelli impression is spot on but they said season 17 when I'm 100% sure it was season 37 lol
You are correct
The funniest thing about the Phil Hartman/Frank Sinatra skit was Sting playing Billy Idol.
How is number one NOT Eddie Murphy in James Brown's Hot Tub?!?
Exactly
Right!! That was the best. These others aren't even close.
John Laycock I'm sure he knows about the origin more than you do.
HOT TUB!!!!
HOT TUB'S TOO HOT
Fred was magical as Prince 😍😍😍👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
That Prince impression is SERIOUSLY underrated!
For pure comedy, Murphy's James Brown impression is the Platinum standard. His Stevie Wonder is haunting it is so good.
Kate McKinnon is so fucking funny she had me in tears with her Justin Bieber impression. She was so spot on and when she does his facial expressions and poses.....classic. I think I am in love with her now lol best impression I have seen in a long time.
IMO, Comedy is the most difficult film genre.
Facts Box yes but nobody gives an Oscar's for that
Knely nolastname south park movie,didn't they get one.
Don't tell me. really? there is no Oscar for comedy. It's a big revelation.
John Belushi coming out on stage un expectedly as Joe Cocker performs, dressed just like him and imitating him to a tee was one of the best ever. Too bad the judges weren't born yet.
seriously stop talking and just play the darn clip
Molly Nye lol righttt yessss
exactly!
Molly Nye only thing I wanted too!!
you must be new to watchmojo
I know, it drives me crazy lol
I so miss Phil!! He was talented from SNL, Movies and the Simpsons! RIP
Absolutely one of the best....
Kate McKinnon and Kristen Wiig are the BEST!
Your explanation for the scenes should be shortened.
Who is "sellin deeown"?
mgeorgejags lol thank you 😍😍😍😍 love it.
LOL!!!!!
mgeorgejags that's how you say her name in french. Cuz Celine Dion is from Canada where a good portion of the population speak Canadian french as well as English. It's actually the second official language, if not the first. If I'm not mistaken.
mgeorgejags that's what I was thinking but I was gonna chalk it up to probably being the Mandela Effect. Like if your on my level and know what I'm talking about!!
mgeorgejags she is the magnificent Canadian Singer and its Celine Dion
Maya Rudolph's impression of Whitney Houston was brilliant. Definitely should have been included here.
I remember laughing till I had tears coming out my eyes when I first saw Fallon as Gibb! It will always be my favorite SNL Music impersonation.
No need for your verbal tour, just let us hear the actual skit your talking over.
I agree. Hearing more of her than the acts themselves
WatchMojo's regular format involves narration.
No Blue Oyster Cult? I need more COW BELL!
Possibly overexplained.
Yeah like Stevie Wonder Possibly has trouble seeing.
10 minute mark honey
Kristen Wiig and Kate McKinnon are so savage :)))
belushi doing cocker needed to be on this list.
He should have been number 0ne on this list.
Belushi doing coke.....
Yes
Even better? Dueling Brandos
Who else agrees that #6 Kate Mckinnon's Bieber parody takes the cake Hands Down?
Only because Belushi's Joe Cocker is missing in action.
Kate is hilarious, no doubt. I laugh my ass off every time I see her doing 'The Bieb'. She's got talent. But I'm afraid that she would get only a child size slice of the cake because you and anyone who agrees with you is simply too young to appreciate the kind of impact that Eddie Murphy's impressions had on SNL fans back then.

Why don't you do yourself a huge favor - watch Eddie Murphy's Delirious. And, in advance, you're welcome
HoldWholeTruthHoly haha .. delirious is the best .. eddy is so funny !!
HoldWholeTruthHoly his janes brown impression is crazy too .. that hot tub skit is the nrst
My only complaint about this video is that I would've liked to have seen more of each of them! SNL has been mass-producing amazing talent since I was 17, and their impressionists are incredibly good!!!
im in love with kate , her justin impression is spot on
Really impressed by that last second, the look on Eddie's face where he's like, "Damn, I can't believe I get to be on the stage with this man." So much respect in that one little expression.
Jay's Jay-Z impression is better than his Kanye's.
Loved Jan Hooks as Sinead O'Connor and Phil Hartman as Sinatra.
You need a top ten impressions by Kristen wiig. Even that would be difficult. Her Drew Barrymore, Kathy Lee, Susy Orman, Jane Pauley, Madonna, Greta Von Scartch, Felicity Huffman + more
Tina Feys Palin too
I would rather hear the impressions than someone talking about them.
than why did ya watch this if ya ever seen watch mojo or ms mojo they talk its called a voice over show search up the dam show if ya want to see it with out voice over kapeish 👌😒can ya teel ya inoy me with theas coments
Will Farrell in Blue Oyster Cult's "Need More Cowbell" should have made this list. he was awesome.
I NEVER knew that Maya Rudolph was Minnie Riperton's daughter! 💣 *mind blown* 💥 WOW, learned something new -- thanks Watch Mojo!
Did they pay you to be so excited?
Minnie sings her name at the end of her hit song and it was co-written by her dad.
"I'm a big boy now." That shit cracked me up.
TOO MUCH DAMN TALKING! Let the video SPEAK for itself! Geezus that's so annoying I stopped watching at 1:29!
Quit talking and let us hear! Geez, we don't need to be told what to think.
Beckey thank you I was about to write the same damn thing..freaking annoying😡
Beckey do you not have any idea what fair use is? They can't show the entire thing without discussing it, because that's copyright infringement.

They are stating opinions. If you can't handle them, get off the Internet.
Beckey
They can't, show more than 20 seconds or they have to pay through the nose
Eddie Murphy shoulda immitated those icons for the album my girl likes to party all the time!!!!!
Ellen Cleghorne a Natalie Cole, Mike Myers and Dana Carvey as Mick Jagger and Keith Richards, Adam Sandler as Axl Rose, Sting as Billy Idol, Kenan Thompson, Finesse Mitchell, Amy Poehler and Jon Heder as The Black Eyed Peas... and so many others.
KATE MCKINNON CAN LITERALLY DO ANYTHING AND I'LL FADE
Eddie Murphy’s impression of Steven Wonder was incredibly awesome!
this list needs more cowbell
Jamaican Me Crazy OFF THE SHED, GET OFF THE SHED
Jamaican Me Crazy O

hildebrandr y
I got a fever and the only prescription is more cowbell
How could you leave out Belushi as Joe Cocker? Even Joe Cocker found it hilarious!!!
kate mckinnon is just everything
RUclips hamburgers
when I saw her in new Ghostbusters she changed my view of her. I haven't regularly watched SNL in several years.
who
"the barry gibb talk show"….brilliant
will Ferrell as Robert Goulet
No John Belushi doing Joe Cocker?!? EPIC fail, mojo....epic fail.
I agree. The narration of this video is irritating. Let's hear the actual parodies.
Can't believe John Belushi doing Joe Cocker wasn't included - spot on - and then Cocker walked out behind him!
One of the greatest moments on television ever
Kate McKinnon is a SNL god.
Kou D3x
she should stick to it, and stop being in horrible movies.
Kristen Wiig is a SNL god too. These two are veterans :)))
R.I.P. Phil Hartman loved his Frankenstein sketch.
kristen wigg doing Lana del rey
Phil Hartman was one of the best ever on that show
I, for one, miss him.
That's Joe Piscipo doing the duet with Eddie Murphy.
The BEST SNL parody ever was the 1979 Village People skit with Bill Murray as the construction worker, Belushi the Indian and Dan Ackroyd as Leather Man. Watching Bill Murray trying to gyrate made me laugh so hard my stomach nearly burst.
The BEST SNL for sure !!!!!!!
Would be great if you didn't talk through all of the impressions
Still sucks.
Ruining the whole thing.
I am hating the way she is saying 'Celine Dion'
um thats how u properly say it in french
I know but I hate it anyway
Hater's gonna Hate
Yaaaaaaassss
Yup, I hate it too.
NO JOHN BELUSHI AS JOE COCKER!?!?!?!?
Talk about dropping the ball WatchMojo!
The Liza Minnelli skit wasn't from season 17 (9/28/91-5/16/92). Kristen Wiig was not on the show then and Jonah Hill would have been eight.
Thank you! I didn't think that was right.
Not enough cowbell in the video. 0/10
Hey announcer. Stop talking through the skits. Let us hear it.
Tanner Phoenix Hit the nail on the head-they do this with everything-they don’t let the viewer appreciate the skit or the movie scene.
Tanner Phoenix thank you she ruined ittttt
To Me, Eddie Murphy will Always be One of the Most talented Man ( if Not the Most) in Hollywood. He is Simply Gifted Amazing!!!
What about Jimmy Fallon's Mick Jagger impression!?!?!
belushi doing joe cocker and adam sandler doing bruce springstein
Vanessa Bayer as Miley was so awesome!
10:27 he had to remove his glasses in reverence #Steviegold
I saw that also. It was a very classy gesture by mr. Murphy.
The way you guys pronounce Celine Dion is like the people who pronounce Mario as Meerioh
She pronounces it properly.
If you spoke French like we do here in Quebec, you would know better.
How about Wiig as Bjork?
hb0x snarf snarf!
Idk if there's ever been a Stevie Wonder biopic, but Eddie Murphy should DEFINITELY play as Stevie Wonder.
Disappointed that John Belushi singing "With a Little Help from my Friends" as Joe Cocker wasn't on this list.
Yes. Your Voice Over is enough to chase me away.
does anyone remember Gilda Radner's spoof of Patti Smith, as "Candy Slice"?
IbelongtoNYC the best
IbelongtoNYC "GIMME MICK, GIMME MICK!
Raven hair, golden eyes, lips so thick..."
Yes! LOVE that one.
Yes, Candy Slice was great!
I didn't know I'm still subscribed with this much of talk than actual content/features
This WatchMojo video needs more Cowbell!!!
arvelos76 ..........COWBELL !
Mia as beyonce,phil as frank&eddy as stevie(the 2 together was hilarious!),kate as justin and fred as prince,are my favs.jay pharoah does everything funny
SNL used to cater to more sophisticated audiences.
@@W81Researcher are you talking about the first cast? Or just trolling around.
@@12sisters1bride7 no up until the mid 00s. All these current impersonations are terrible.
Eddie is the king and should be No.1 but Belushi's Joe Cocker was brilliant. He should had been on the list.
My eye twitches everytime she says celine zion.
*Dion
That's because you don't know how to speak French.
She pronounces Dion the way it's supposed to be pronounced.
saw Kate McKinnon at the screen and had to click right away
Did anyone else notice for the Jonah Hill skit she says season 17, which was in 1992 way before Jonah was acting
0:13 John Belushi's Joe Cocker as mere bait?Shame!!
I know. It was before my time, but it's a classic.
Belushi's Cocker impression was so good he could do it next to the real Joe Cocker and you couldn't tell the difference. I agree that it's a crime that it wasn't listed.
Zvi mur I agree completely.
greenmonsterprod belushi did do cocker right next to him. he even had someone sneak to cockers dressing room to find out what he was wearing so they could dress alike
I agree totaly
Long live Maya Rudolph! The queen of singer impressions.
Got dammit. Stop explaining the jokes.
jewpart2 Omg I know! I usually don't watch anything from mojo anymore because she just cannot stop explaining every minutiae like we are all brainless morons.
My thoughts exactly !!!!!!!
Harry Styles doing Mick Jagger will forever be my favorite.
Mojo has great content, but please get rid of the annoying narration (we are not 5 year olds), simply not needed!
juggysingh omg you are reading my mind
I think they have to talk over it or they'll get a copyright strike, NBC is touchy as hell.
I agree! Just show the skit!!
So instead of explaining why something is on their list you just want them to shut up? Go find the original content and then do it yourself.
juggysingh wtf..
go watch a clip with no comments ..
You should do a top 10 guest hosts best celebrity impressions. I'll never forget Kevin Bacons Vanilla Ice or Sting's Billy Idol
Do Top 10 Saturday Night Live hosts
This is a good list. One of my absolute favorites outside of the parodies listed here would be Gail Matthius as Irene Cara singing "Same." I can't find any videos of this, but fortunately I made an audio recording of it when it aired when I was in college. (It was during the pre-VCR days.) You can hear me trying not to laugh (and failing) on the recording, as I wanted to capture it clearly. Funny, funny stuff!
If they ever do a movie on Phil Hartmans life they need to have Bryan Cranston play him, they look alike.
John Belushi as Joe Cocker. Totally spot on!
Luv the shocked look
on Eddie’s I wonder if Stevie seen that 🤪lol😂
Salin Zeeon? Lol.
😂😂🤣
Great selections; but left out John Belushi doing Joe Cocker, haha
The talent to mimic the talent.....unbelievable. LOL.
Where is Belushi's brilliant Joe Cocker?
yup
Everything is slanted towards the milenials. Who probably don't know who Belushi or Crocker are.
Definetely was expecting Belushi's Joe Cocker, that was pure gold lol classic SNL!
goodgulf13 I know both
Have to give Piscopo props. He ended up not doing much after SNL, but pretty much every one of his skits with Eddie Murphy was sheer genius. His Sinatra was phenomenal.
I never felt Maya's Beyonce was all that good. She actually played more to the essence of who everyone thinks Beyonce is which was a smart play.
True
There’s a girl on youtube Called keyonce who does a good impression of her
I’m not a huge Beyoncé fan, so Maya cracks me up!
Y'all were spot on this time.
I'd enjoy this video a lot more if they pronounced Celine dions name fucking right
haha yeah not sure exactly where that came from. it's like it's an in joke or something
Kelby Mefford Celine dion is French Canadian son in sure a Canadian would know how to pronounce it better than an American
nicholas holmes in French it's pronounced the same
how sway
nicholas holmes Céline Dion in French sounds the same as Céline Dion in English. I'm not sure how else to explain this to you. (coming from a bilingual person). The video pronounces it incorrectly.
I LOOVVE Vanessa Bayer's Miley SOOO funny ! I know this was a singer parody lineup but Maya Rudolph also did a hilarious imitation of Donatella Versace .
No mention of Jan Hooks doing Sinead O'Connor, shame on you!
agreed - especially when she hosted her own music award show with Dana Carvey as Paul McCartney!
Eddie’s James Brown bit was gold!
Who the fuck is Celin Din???😂😂
The Brothers Gibb is one of the funniest bits ever!
John Belushi as Joe Cocker was better than half of that list.
You make the list look like it was made by someone who's only watched SNL for the last 10 years and saw Eddie Murphy on a RUclips video.
Kate McKinnon doing Justin Bieber should be #1. I can't stop laughing at that.
